FARMERS UNION MEETING.
Big Picnic and Speaking at Culler's
Mill on Thursday.

On Thursday a large crowd of the
Limestone folks and those from sur
rounding neighborhoods gathered at
Culler's mill picnic grounds, and
spent a profitable and enjoyable day.
AS a resort for the nature lover,
the vicinity is almost unsurpassed.
Some of the drives, walled in with
semi-tropical Vegetation, are really
beautiful. Several snow white her.
ons, and some marsh hens, the same
birds which Sidney Lanier designed
to notice in his Marshes of Glynn,
were enjoying a feast of fresh waite"
dainties on the edges Of the pond.
Several prominent speakers were
to be there, but only one, Mr.. Hy-
att of Columbia, was present. Af-
ter a brief but very appropriate ad-
dress of welcome by Mr.. E. H. Hous-
er, Mr.. Hyatt talked for about an
hour on several phases Of farm and
social improvement in our rural dis
tricts. His three principal topics
were "The Inconvenient Arrange
ment of Farm Homes" and "The
Resulting Burden on the Farmers )
Wife," 1.-THE Loss to the Farmer
who Leaves His Cotton Bales Sew

"Road Improvement"

The speaker received the closest

group, and most enjoyable day was
spent by all.

PROHIBITION MEETING.
Two Enthusiastic Meetings Held on
Court House Square.

On Thursday morning the first
of two prohibition ceetings was
held on the Court House Square.
A good many stores had closed up

was largely attended. Music was
furnished by the Orangeburg Mill
tary Band Immediately preceding
and after the speaking. The morn
ing meeting was opened with prayer

which Mr.. A. w. Summers made a
short talk on prohibition and intro
duced the speaker of the day, DR..

Brunson made very forceful ad-
dress for the prohibition movement
and was we'll listened to through
out. After the address the morn
ing meeting was adjourned.
The evening meeting was opened
by prayer by the Rev. ]. L. McLees.
Mr.. A. w. Summers again presided

marks. Music was again furnished

Will 1t Be Close?


The Bamberg Herald says: From
what we have learned from reliable
gentlemen; there seems to have been
a great change of opinion recently
in counties which are to vote on
the dispensary question. A few
weeks ago it seemed that prohibition
would prevail in these counties by a
large vote, but there has been a
change in sentiment, and 1t Is likely
that the vote in several counties be-
low Columbia will be close. We
have heard from several that dis
pensary sentiment is getting stronger
in this, county the nearer the cleo
tion approaches. Well, we will
know next Wednesday how much
these reliable gentlemen know about

Struck by Lightning.

Mr.. William A. Autly, railroad
and express agent at Jamison, was
greately shocked by bolt Of light
ming which struck near him on last
Wednesday afternoon. A physician
was summoned at once and We are
glad to hear that the chances of
Mr.. Rutley's recovery are good. He
was deprived Of speech for while
and his system much shaken up. He
is bachelor and has a host Of rel
atives and friends, who are much
alarmed about him. The lightning
is said to have melted watch that
Mr.. Autley had in his pocket.

Hits Them Hard.

The Early Progress says: "Any
man who will take a paper for three
years without settling for 1t and
then when called upon for the mon
ey begins making all kinds Of eX-
cuses, most of which he knows to be
false, does not deserve to be noticed
by respectable people. He should
be ostracised by the people Of the
community in which he lives until
he learns to be honest" That's
pretty hard, but it is just. OF course
there are no such folks in Orange
burg county.

Cotton Caterpillers.

Caterpillars have made their ap-
pearance on Edisto Island. and to
some extent on the other Islands, and
in consequence the cotton planters
are much disturbed for fear Of Sc
rious damage to the coming crop
whose prospects have been partic-
ularly good up to this time. 1t Is
unusual for the caterpillars to ap-
par in any numbers until about
September, and at that time the
plant and fruits have made such
progress that the insects can not
make much harm. The appearance
of the insects now threaten the crop
to material extent. We hope they
don't come this way.

MAKES FLAT DENIAL

The Matter is Reduced to Question
Of Veracity Between the Two
Gentlemen. -.
Gentlemen.

The following article is publish
ed as an act of simple justice to
Hon. H. C. Paulling, and we are
sure it will be read with interest:
Editors Calhoun Advance:
Mr. Mann's reckless and unbound
ed charges in your last issue will call
for a brief denial from me. The let
tiers from Messrs. Cothran and NC
Call will place correct light on the
most of his charges.
Mr.. Mann says my denial of as
sistance is such preposterously
false statement that even though
see it in print with his name signed
to it | can hardly believe it."
l am not accountable for what he
believes. Am only responsible for
the truth, and 1 again positively de-
ny that he ever gave me any assist
ance except such as was entirely vol
untary.
AS to the service he claims to have
given, he says: Il told him that be-
ing well acquainted with all the legal
points in the matter, l would under
take it and that the entire matter
would not cost the county more than
$3.50" 1t is remarkably strange
that would refuse to pay Mr.. Welch
more than $50 and then rush OH
and offer to pay Mr.. Mann S15O'
Mr.. Mann says: Refer to the
pleadings in ,he case of Murph vs.
Millichamp and see if the act is not
identical. l drew these pleadlngs
and l let Mr.. Paulling have them to
have the bill copied from. This is
true, but the offer to do so was
voluntary, and the pleadings were
public property, and l had a right
to use them, Mr.. Mann having re-
ceived $50 for the work or having
it guaranteed.
Mr.. Mann charges that "the bill
was placed on the calendar and Mr..
Paulling could not move it, though
he made several futile attempts.
The following letter from Hon. D.
D. McColl puts this matter right,
and shows that the bill was moved
at the proper time:

Dear Sir: l have your letter Of
the 5th inst. stating that the bill
introduced by you in the house of
representatives requiring certain
school funds be paid to Calhoun
county by the authorities of Orange
burg county, was held up in the COM
mittee on public schools, and that a
Mr.. Mann had stated. that If he had
not interfered the bill would never
have passed.
You ask me, as chairman of the
committee Of public schools, to make
a statement Of facts as to the con-
sideration of. your bill by that COM
mittee. OF course you understand
that l have not the bill before me,
and my recollection as to the cir
cumstances is all that can give you.
AS l remember the bill, its purpose
was to require the treasurer of Or
angeburg county to pay to the su-
perintendent Of education or the
treasurer of Calhoun county, GER
tain school funds which were sup
posed to belong in justice and in
equity to Calhoun county, as they
had, been raised in that portion of
Orangeburg county, which afterward
became Calhoun county. l recollect,
of course, that your bill was in the
possession of the committee for
number of days, and my impression
at the time, and now is, that you
showed every desire to have 1t fav-
orably reported by the committee
and that the delay was caused by
waiting for interested parties repre-
senting counties to appear before
the committee for a hearing. !
know that you were very anxious for
several gentlemen to be heard Ey
the committee in advocacy OF this
bill, and no action was taken on 1t
for several days at your request, in
order that your friends might have
time to make their appearance be-
fore the committee.
AS l stated a moment ago, l am
relying solely on my recollection as
to the character of this bill and the
consideration given to 1t, but at the
same time / am satisfied that yoJ
did everything in your power to en-
Ledite the consi ieratioI. and the p1s.
sage of the bill. You must OF course
remember that this was only one CT
the great many bills which were cJn-
sidered by this committee, and It
would be impossible for me to have
a perfectly distince recollection as 10
every single detail Of it's history be-
fore the committee. l know nothing
whatever as to its subsequent fate
after it passed out Of the committee
Of public schools.
Yours very truly.

Typhoid Fever.
Typhoid fever is due to the pres
ence in the body of small vege-
table organism, which causes ulcera-
tion of the lining membrance OF the
intestines, fever, emaciation and too
frequently death.
So far as we know, the occurrance
OF typhoid means always that in
some way the patient has become
infected by taking into his mouth
material which is contaminated by
the discharges Of some patient i'll
with the disease. Typhoid is prac-
tically always taken in by the mouth,
and the question to be solved in any
epidemic of typhoid is in what way
typhoid gets in to the system Of
those who become infected. In the
main, methods of conveyance are as
follows:
First, by injected water; second,
by infected milk; third, by shell fish,
oysters, or clans; fourth, by raw
vegetables and fruits; fifth, by per-
sonal contact and Infection of the
hands from the person i'll with the
diseasa: sixth, by flies.
Locally, the question of water and
milk contamination may practically
be disregarded,. since repeated exam
inations have shown both our milk
