Pointed Paragraphs.

Where most people have great
self-control is about their generosi-
ty.
The only thing in the world a
woman can be entirely frank about
is being seasick.
The strange thing about money
is what it looks as if it could do for
you until you have it.
Nothing can make a girl more in
dignant than to treat her as f1irt
except to treat her as II she didn't
know how.
There's hardly any visit so enjoy
able as when you know you'll have
to do it again.
One reason a boy can admire his
father is the way he can cuss when
he gets mad.
What makes girl sure she IS
playing good tennis is for her hair
to stay nice.
Lillian Sinnott, who first came in
to prominece by her exceedingly clev-
er work in Lovers Lane" during
it's long run a few seasons ago, has
been engaged to appear in support
of Louis Mann during the coming
season.
Women are much more particular
about references for their servants
than for their friends.
It's so natural for girl to flirt
that when she's doing it she acts
just as if she were saying her cat.
echism.
An ambition is what man thinks
he could do to benefit the world;
mission is what he tries to do to
support his family.
A girl wearing ball slippers could
get lost in blizzard with bean
and never think of catching cold,
but be afraid of dying from consump-
tion if she had to cross the street
in rubber boots with her father in
light drizzle.

Seven Murder Gases.

Pee Dee Advocate, published at
Bennettsville in Marlboro county,
says there are seven murder cases
to be tried at the court that will
convene in that county next week.
Most of the murders committed US
ed to be charged to whiskey drink
ing, but this cannot be the case In
Marlboro, because that county has
been dry for fifty years. What ever
the cause, seven murder cases at one
term of the court for small county
like Marlboro is outrageous. That
record beats the record of old
whiskey soaked Orangeburg, as the
Pee Dee Advocate and other papers
have referred to her, all to pieces.

NORTH PROVIDENCE NOTES
Mrs. and Mrs. P. p. Shuler Celebrate
Their Golden Wedding.

Wednesday Mr.. and Mrs. P. P.
Shuler celebrated their Golden We'd
ding. 1t is not the happily lot of
many couples to pass fifty years o.
welded life together. The half
century of martial life of this couple
has been filled with unusual expert
ences. Early in their married life
they were seper Grated by the Civil
war. Mr.. Shuler served throughout
the entire struggle. Mr.. Shuler en-
tertained those present by his many
and varied ext ,riences which have
crowded into the seventy-fve years
Of his life. The interesting remin-
iscences were supplemented by
sumptuous repast served at three
o'clock. .r. and Mrs. Shuler led
the way to the dining room, which
was decorated In gold, golden rod
being used in profusion. Over the
center Of the tables was large gold
en- horse shoe, and over each corner
of the tables was smaller one.
The five hDrse shoes representing
the entire period, each representing
ten year stations along lifes journey.
Those of the immediate family pres
ent were: Dir. and Mrs. 8. P. Shu-
Ter, daughter Laura and son Honor;
Mr.. and Mrs. T. ]. Shuler, daughter
Ruth; Mrs. j. w. Dantzler, daughter
Eva and son Adair; Misses May,
Nina, Lollie Shuler. The other in
vited guest present were: Mrs. Ju-
liza Evans, Mrs E. NJ. Parler and Mrs.
Eliza Shuler, all of whom were pres
ent at the marriage fifty years ago.
Mr. and Mrs. E. ]. Dantzler and
daughter Nell; Mr. and Mrs. Geo.
Harris Webber; MISS Jennie Shuler,
Miss A., H. Webber, Mt. Roy shu-
Ter, Mr.. w. C. Weber.
Mr.. Geo. Harris Weber, principal
of the North Providence High School,
surprised everybody on his return
from the North by bringing as his
bride Miss Lillian B. Wendt, of
Pennsylvania. Mrs. Webber is q
niece of Prof. C. H. Bakeless, who,
for many years, was principal Of the
famous Carlisle Indian school.
Miss Laura j. Shuler, Jennie and
E. Viola Shuler, graduates of the
North Providence High School, took
the recent teachers examination, all
passing with high grades and receiv
ing hrst-grade certificates.
Sam Johnson, colored helper at
the gin house, who sometime since
got his arm caught in the saws OF
the gin, will likely have full use Of
his arm. Part of the thumb may
have to amputated. Drs. Wanna
maker and Fielder arrived shortly
after the accident, and with the as
sistance of Prof. Webber, got the
wound dressed. 1t took four and
half hours to stick up the wounds.
A piece of the muscle of the fore
arm had to be removed to get the
skin to meet. The prompt attention
may be the means Of saving the arm.
Miss Augusta Webber and VIM.
Webber, of Charleston, are here at
tending the high school.
The mill here has calliope, which
is played by Mr.. T. G. Shuler. A
new method of announcing their bus

MURDER NEAR BOWMAN
DOLORED MAN KILLED BY HIS
DUsKY PARAAlOUR.
Another Colored Man Charged With
Being an Accessory Before and
After the Crime.

Bowman, Oct. 15.-Special: The
jury Of inquest in the Asa Hood muir
der case was in session again yes
terday afternoon. The deceased met
q tragic death on the piazza OF his
own house on tuesday night about
IL o'clock. The shot was fred at
a close range. taking effect in his
neck almost severing the head from
the body. resulting in instant death.
Mary Robinson. with whom he had
been living as wife. gave the alarm
soon after the shot was fred and
Dr.. D. e. Conner and Mr.. J. Law
renee Shuler and some Others rode
out in haste to the house; distant
about q mile from town, and found
the body of the deceased lying on
the piazza in pool Of blood, life
being extinct.
Magistrate D. B. Berry was noti-
lied early In the morning and jury
promptly summoned, reviewed the
body and took observations around
the dwelling. etc. Suspicion pointed
to Mary Robinson as being impli-
Gated, or had some knowledge OF
the person who committed the deed.
She was arrested and at first would
not testify to anything at the cor
pner's inquest. but later in the day
said Tom Warren, negro living
around here, fred the shot that kill
cd Hood.
This statement was not accepted
but by very few persons as being
true. The magistrate believed that
she knew much more, but was afraid
to disclose the facts in the case.
Suspicion, however, from a few facts
gathered around, led to the arrest of
several other parties as being i'm
plicated also. and Constable S. w.
Berry in a short while had Peter
Miller and Elliot Glover before the
scoroner's jury. which was in session
and upon examination Of the witness
es, Peter Miller was held and placed
in Jail on the charge of an acces-
sorry.
After further examination the ver-
dict OF the coroner's jury was rem
dered as follows: That Asa Hood
came to his death from gunshot
wound by the hand of Mary Robin
so nand that Peter Miller was an
accessory before and after the deed.

Disturbing Religious Worship.

s colorcd man by the name of a..
L. Thompson was locked up on
Thursday for disturbing a religious
meeting at Jones Chapel, colored

as. one OF the officers of the church
tried to suppress Thompson by hit
ting him lick or two over the head
with a piece OF timber in the church.
and he came 10 this city TO swear
out n warrant for Thomas when h.
was taken in custody and locked
up as above stated. Thompson
charges Thomas with robbing him OF
a sum of money as we'll as hitting
him over the head. The row will

Purpose of Store Advertising.
F. S. DIBBLE,
Marshal.

The purpose of store advertising
is not merely to sell goods, but to
sell more goods-to make friends
build up a patronage that will not
only stick but grow. Newspapers
reach the greatest number of peo-
pie in the Immediately vicinity in
the most natural way, at the least
expense. and they are therefore the
best of all mediums for stores. In
newspaper you follow the lines of
least resistance-you follow with
the stream-you talk to an audi
ence already assembled, to the peo-
pie who want to read-their mental
cosmos is right-they are on your
wire, and they won't ring off if you
hold their interest. Attraction is
the basis of all advertising-the
store is the sun, the customers the
planets that revolve around it.

which is the highest price it has

II it was not for the cotton sold on

ket.

LITTLE JOSEPHINE BASS"
Package Awaits the Child Who Gave
Taft Bouquet.

The Evening Post says the Char
lesion postoffice has a newspaper ad-
dressed to Little Miss Josephine
Bass, South Carolina" which the de-
livery department will be pleased to
deliver to the right party.
Realizing that the address was i'm
perfect, the sender made the follow
ing note on the wrapper. Who gave
President Taft a bouquet Of yiolets
when on his way to Charleston TO
sail for Panama"
The story is recalled of the lit
tie girl passing forward to the Pres
ident's car and giving him the vio-
lets. 1t is thought at Branchville.
She gave her name to the President,
and when the kindly disposed Presi-
dent-elect asked her what she would
have in return, she replied post
card from Panama. Mr.. Taft mailed
her card complying with the mod
est request.
The newspaper probably contains
some notice of interest to the little
girl and the sender not knowing her
address directed it South Carroll
na," and the package came TO Char
lesion. The little girl Is known not
to reside here, but the delivery de-
partment of the Charleston post
office holds the paper and will for
ward it to the proper address in the
