Another Veteran Gone.

There was another vacancy In
the gradually thinning line when Mr.
Frank Fielder, Of Lone Star, passed
over the river Monday night and
now rests under the shade Of the
tree" says the st. Matthews cor
respondent of The News and Cour-
ier. He was not only faithful as
a Confederate soldier, but has been
a true and honored citizen in all
the walks of private life. He was
79 years old and leaves one son,
Mr.. l.. D. Fielder, and three daugh-
ters, Mrs. w. P. Shirer, Mrs. H. P.
Rush and Mrs. C. C. Keller, all OF
this county. Mr.. Fielder was a
staunch member Of the Lutheran
church, and was laid to rest Tues
day afternoon in the pretty ceme-
terry Of the Pine Grove Luthern
church. He will be greatly missed
in his community, where he has lived
all his life, where he married a Miss
McClare, and where he reared a
worthy and devoted family.

New York Futures.
MAKES TRIPLE PLAY
And Retires the Other Side AL BY
Himself.

Shortshop Neal Ball, formerly of
the Atlanta and Montgomery clubs
of the Southern league, and who
went to the New York Americans
two seasons ago, and Is now with
Cleveland, has made record for
himself that few ball players have
ever attained.
In a game at Cleveland Tuesday
when his club was blaying against
Boston, Ball made an unassisted trip
lie play. In other words he retired
the Boston club without any help
when there were two men on bases
and none out. This Is how it hap
pened:
Wagner and Stahl led Off with
singles. The hit and run signal was
given. Mcconnell was at the bat for
Boston. He landed on one Of Cy
Young's curves with vicious crack.
The instant the ball hit the ball both
the base runners were off. The ball
shot straight to Neal Ball. Coming
in with great rapidity he sheared it
in his gloved hand, and ran across
touching second, thereby doubling
Wagner, who had started to third.
Stahl had taken long lead off first
base, and was almost at second when
he say Ball grab McConnell's hot
liner. Stahl was running at full
speed and did not have time to slow
up before Ball touched him with the
horsehide, thus completing a triple
play.
This was In the second inning and
the next time Ball came to the bat
he hit a home run, practically win
ming the game for the Maps.

coming down and they were eaten
with a relish.
The Gladys lost three propellers
on the trip. Both Of the boats were
brand new Sometimes they were
going at full speed and at other
times they only drifted, owing to the
snags and logs encountered. The
scenery along the route was describ-
ed as being beautiful. While the
country was generally fiat, some
times banks of sandstone fifty feet
in height were passed. Hearing that
the boats were coming, many per-
sons gathered along the banks to
see them pass, and this made the
trip all the more interesting.
The young men are all we'll known
in Orangeburg. Mr.. Glover is the
cashier of the Edisto Savings Bank;
Mr.. Matthews is manager Of the
Southern Bell Telephone Company at

tractor; Mr. Carts father is engaged
in the cotton business and is well
known in Charleston; Mr.. Welch is

A Problem for Teachers.

A banker going home to dinner
saw SO bill on the curbstone. He
picked it up, noting the number and
went home to dinner. While at home
his wife remarked that the butcher
had sent bill amounting to $40.
The only money he had was the bill
he had found, which he gave to her
and she paid the butcher. The bitch
er paid it to a farmer for calf, the
farmer to the merchant. who in turn
paid it out to washerwoman, and
she, owing the banker note Of $40,
went to the bank and paid the note.
The banker recognized the bill as the
one he had found, and which to that
time had paid $50 worth of debts. On
careful examination he found that
the bill was counterfeit. Now what
was lost in the transaction and by
whom?

GROUP OF MAIL BOXES.
Its General Adoption Would Help
Rural Carriers.

In the last issue of the Farm and
Fire side appears a half-tone cut of
a unique convenience for rural mail
carriers, for use at places along the
routes where there are several mail
boxes at the same point. It's adop-
ton in this county would save con-
siderable time for several Of Or
angeburg county's rural mail car
riers. The novelty is described as
follows:
1T Is 6. common sight, when rid
ing along a rural free delivery route,
to find at some point where a
branch road joins the carriers route
a cluster Of from three to six mail
boxes perched on stakes and strung
along in struggling group. In
these the mail carrier deposits the
mail for several families living off
his direct route.
"Such a collection Is always more
or less unsightly and not very con-
venient for the carrier, who has to
stop and start for every individual
box. Some enterprising farmers and
vineyardists of Yates county, New
York, have hit upon a very clear
arrangement for obdiating both
these difficulties.
"a heavy post was set FIRMLY In
the ground, and on this was mount
ed, so as to revolve freely, an old
wheel from a hack wagon. On the
rim Of this the mail boxes were
mounted. The wheel shown carries
seven. The carrier now makes but
one stop, and by revolving the wheel
is able to delivc" the mail of seven
families. The advantage both in con-
venience and appearance over the oil
colony of boxes is evident. Any
handy farmer CAN deplicate this ar
rlngement.

The Columbia correspondent OF
The News and Courier says Dispen-
sary Auditor West, in spite of the
opinions from the office Of the Attor-
ney General and from Governor An
sci in connection with the closing of
the dispensaries prior to the August
election, has been receiving letters
daily asking him the very questions
which these opinions purpoted to an
swer.
please make it clearly under
STOOD" said Mr.. West Monday morn
ing, "that the dispensaries must
close on Monday at the close of
business and must remain closed un-
til the result of the election is de-
clared."
This and a number of other ques-
tions have bothered the dispensary
auditor for the past few days. In
order for the dispensary board to be
fully Informed, the following salient
features of the recent Act and of the
Constitutions thereof are given:
/. The county dispensaries must
close August 2, at the end Of the
days business.
2. The dispensaries must remain
closed until the election is declared.
8. The dispensaries must not be
opened on the 18th of August, as
many think, but on the declaration
of the election by the State board of
canvassers.
4. No whiskey must be handed out
in any shape or form by the dispen-
sers during the period from August
8 to the day on which the dispensar-
les are reopened.

Orangeburg County journalism
loses it's brightest and lovliest orna-
ment as will be seen from the fol-
lowing which was sent to The News

"While the people were busying
themselves going to the different
churches for the Sunday night SER
vices, the Rev. E. H. Beckham, the
popular Methodist pastor, was called
to the Merchants Hotel to unite in
marriage the fair editress of the
Branchville Journal, Miss Estella
Smoak, and Mr.. G. B. Herndon, a
prosperous young business man of
Eutawville, S. C. Rumors have been
afoat for a long time about the
editress joining the wedlock club, but
this was denied until the last half
hour.
"The wedding was quiet affair,
and only few friends had time to
witness the ceremony. Mrs. Herndon
will be sadly missed from the COM
munity, as she was lady who took
an active part in every undertaking,
and it's welfare. Mr.. and Mrs. Hern-
don left Monday afternoon for q
bridal tour. On their return, they
will make their future home in Eu-
tawville."
We congratulate Mr.. Herndon on
the great conquest he has made, and
wish him and his fair bride long
and happy married life.
