Remember the Orphans.

Attention is called to the concert
of action among the orphan insti-
tutions of South Carolina with re-
gard to a special work day effort
Saturday, September 25, next.
Thornwell Orphanage, Connie Max
well Orphanage and Epworth Or
phanage have definitely planned for
the success of the day and are circu-
lating literature upon the subject.
We presume that every orphan insti-
tuition, of whatever size or under
whatsoever auspices, will be glad to
have it's friends remember it on this
day.
This plan is simple enough. Let
every boy and girl, every man and
woman, young and old, devote the
income Of the day to the Orphanage
of his choice. Some of the children
may pick cotton, others may gather
up old iron and sell it, some will do
odd jobs, others will devote their
salary or wages of that day to the
care of the orphans.
Coming down to the plain truth,
is there any cause that warns the
cookies of the heart like the plea
for the fatherless? Let all the peo-
pie join in the work day effort Sep.
25, and roll up big amount for
the orphans, and forward the same
to such institution as each may Sc
lect.

Let's Get the Road.

Let's go to work and get that high
way from Savannah to Columbia
through Bamberg. We understand
Supervisor Kearse says he will build
the road whenever wanted, and all
we want to do is to get busy, have a
meeting, and cooperate with the
Orangeburg people in improving the
new bridge road. The highway
should be by the new bridge road
from Orangeburg by Bamberg and on
to Allendale, and neither county will
have much work to do on this route.
There is good road now from Cope
to Orangeburg, and on the Orange
burg side of the river swamp will be
where most of the work must be
done. On the Bamberg side some
work must be done in the river
swamp, but it will not take much
work on the road from here to Allen
dale, as most of that road has al
ready been clayed and put in fine fix
by the county chain gang.

Negro Baby Found.

Last Saturday night about twelve
o'clock Henry Williams, negro man,
was walking along on Carlisle street,
when he found basket containing
an infant only few hours old. He
at once reported the find to Chief
Hand, who had him to carry the
child home, and the Chief saw that
it was given attention. The child is
a bright mulatto, being about three
fourths white according to the opin-
ion of the physician who saw it.
When found it was just like it came
into the world, no attention having
been given it. In the basket was a
garment made out a flour sack, but
no clothes were on the child. 1t is
a female. Monday Chief Hand turned
the child over to the county commits
sioners, and they allowed Henry
Williams to adopt it. No clue to the
mother of the child has been found
so far.

Taking Time by the Forelock.

He was a very busy man, and, like
all of this kind, he hated to waste
time by unnecessary waiting, says
Lippincott's. That was why in the
midst of his correspondence, along
about II o'clock the other morning,
he paused, and turning to his secre-
tary, requested him to ring up his
residence on. the phone.
"Jemmison," he said, "get my

come to the phone. Just tell them
that wish to speak to her."
The secretary made off and in a
few minutes the required connection
was made.
"Is that you, Mary?" he said.

and he thought we might like to
use the tickets. How about 1t?'

"I thought I'd let you know in
time, so that directly you have had
your lunch you can begin to put
your hat on" he went on. "Then
we can get there before the middle
of the first act. By-by, my dear"
The only answer was an angry
click at the other end Of the wire,
which seemed to indicate that anoth-
er receiver was in trouble, but Mr..
Blank only laughed as he returned to

The public is cordially invited to be
present at the opening exercises at
