Petticoats for Babies.

Tiny little sleeves with tiny little
arms, but the latter always slipping
out of the former, make the petticoat
a great nuisance to the mother, and
for this reason the princess, which
simply slips over the head and but
tons at the shoulders, is preferred by
many. The only opening in the gar
ment is at the shoulders, where a lit
tic button and buttonhole are all that
is needed to keep the narrow straps
together. The new baby's petticoat
affords no elusive armhole for the
struggling arms, which are almost
bound to 60 the wrong way.

No other medicine for woman's ills

For more than 80 years it has been

In Pastel CoIors.

Plain materials are much easier Of
construction than are those of striped,
barred and Powered material. Per.
haps it is this that has made the deli.
cate pastel-colored batiste a favorite
with the home dressmaker.
The fact remains that many Of the
more expensive sheer linen models in
these delicate tones are copied by the
amateur in the less expensive ba-
tiste.
A favored method of finishing the
batiste frock is the basting together
of its various parts and the holding
of them in place by a very close and
even Misunderstanding.

RECOVERED DAMAGES.
Railroad Made to Pay for Conduc-
tors Carelessness.

A verdict against the Southern
Railway company for S475.00 was
given to ]. A. Tant by the Jury in
the court of common pleas Thursday
morning. The evidence showed as
follows: Mr.. Tant went to the sta
tion at Fort Motto and asked for
a ticket to Denmark. The agent re-
piled that he did not have any tick
cts at that time but that he would
see the conductor On the train and
tell him not to charge Mr.. Tant but
one dollar, the regular fare from
Fort Motto to Denmark.
Mr.. Tant boarded the train and
went we'll until he was on the train
between Branchville and Bamberg,
he having changed trains at the
former place. When he reached
Bamberg, the conductor told him
that he must pay the fare to Den
mark, but Mr.. Tant having paid the
conductor on the Columbia division
his one dollar, had only thirty-hVe
cents left and consequently did not
have enough to pay the difference to
Denmark. He was put of at Bam-
berg and aside from the great In
convenience he was sick and without
money.
He waited at Bamberg until the
next day when he borrowed enough
money to carry him on to his home
in Denmark. The jury took the
ground that the conductor on the
Columbia division should have no.
tilted the conductor on the Augusta
division that Mr.. Tant had paid his
fare to Denmark in cash because he
could not get ticket at Fort Motte'
at which point he took the train for
Denmark.

Three Bales to the Acre.

Orangeburg has some of the best

where, but we have never heard Of

that equals one told of by the Wood
ruff News and Herald. According
to that paper at Manning. which is
just across the river from Orange
burg a man will get this year sixty
bales of cotton on twenty acres.
That sounds like an eXaggeration to
many of us, and there are some who,
perhaps, will not believe that 1t is
true, but it is, nevertheless fact.

PROUD OF SUPERVISOR FIELDER.
Branchville People Help Him to
Build a Good Clay Road.

Branchyille, Nov. 1S.-Special:
The people of Branchville and the
southern section Of Orangeburg
county have a warm spot in their
heart for Col. F. J. D. Fielder, super
visor for Orangeburg county, that it
will take a long time to forget. MT.
Fielder recently moved the county
chain gang to Branchville township
and put the gang to work on the
public road that leads from Branch
vile to the new bridge on the Edisto
river. On this road about three
miles from Branchville you have to
cross Sandy Island and this is one
place in Orangeburg county that
when a stranger travels across, he
remembers, for it is so sandy and
the sand is SO deep that 1t is almost
impossible to make any time in cross
ing 1t, and few hundred pounds
Is considered a good load for one
horse to pull across Sandy Island.
The people Of the northern portion
Of Colleton county and the southern
portion of Bamberg county have in
many instances been forced to carry
their produce to Smoaks, Williams
and Bamberg and other neighbor!ng
towns, instead Of bringing it to
BranchvilIe. In view of this fact
and the fact that good roads make
a better community and good COM
munity is a place where good peo-
pie are glad to go to live, the citi-
zens and business men Of Branchvllle
and the surrounding community on
learning that Mr.. Fielder intended
to move the county chain gang on
next Saturday from where they are
at work on the Sandy Island road
decided that they would get busy
and see If the proper effort made
would not induce Col. Fielder to keep
the chain gang where it is until
the road across Sandy Island is clay
ed. After seeing Col. Fielder, and
stating the circumstances to him,
bit agreed that if the citizens
and business men Of Branchville
would contribute reasonable
amount towards getting out side
parties to help to haul the clay that
is necessary to put this road in a
good condition that he would keep
the chaingang here longer and try
to get the road in good shape. Since
seeing Col. Fielder, our DR.. Minus,
who is one of the big-hearted, wide
awake business men of Branchville,
has succeeded in getting up enough
money to materially assist the chain
gang by getting private parties to
take their teams and haul clay to
put on this road. Quite a number OF
people from Colleton and Bamberg
counties have also agreed to come
and assist in doing this work.
Our county commissioner, Mr..
Brooks FaITey. has also rendered
valuable assistance in this matter.
