Young Peoples Party.

A very delightful occasion was the
entertainment given by the young
men of the younger set to their
young lady friends last Friday even
ing. Through the kindness Of Mrs.
Beach, her home was used and her
cooperation was largely responsible
for the good time enjoyed. There
were about forty guests present, and
all participated in a lively contest
entitled "A Flower Story" After
a season of much mirth the prize
was awarded to Miss Leonard Folk
and Mr.. Jack Riley, who presented
the most creditable papers, while
Miss Lizzie Hand and Mr.. Marion
Cooner received the consolation.
During the evening punch was
served by Mrs. Isaac Fielder, assisted
by Miss Hattie Sue Brabham, also
ambrosia and cake were served.
A very pretty feature of the occa-
sion was the presentation of love
ly fruit and flower stand to Mrs.
Beach, as little token of regard
from the company. Mrs. Beach is
really a fairy god mother to the
young folks and they took this dain-
ty way of expressing their appreci-
alton. NJ. G. McC.

NEWS AND NOTICES.
Very good congregation attended
the morning and evening services
last Sunday. The pastor, at the
morning service, concluded the series
of sermons on the Temptations Of
Christ. The important sphere of life
involved in this last, he said, was
the adjustment of Divine of life and
work to the secular world; and the
established principle of Christ's king
the adjustment of divine life and
work in his kingdom must be kept
pure from entangling worldly al
iances and compromises. Subject
at night was, Free consideration and
realization Of our faults and evil
tendencies; right, Cody attitude to-
ward same; and important results
arising therefrom. Psalms 10: 1918.
In regular conference Sunday, the
next fifth Sunday meeting Of the
union meeting division was invited
to meet with Bamberg church, and
representation arranged for at the
session last of this week at Double

attendance on the fifth Sunday meet
ing at Williston, so there will be no

resentatives from Bamberg in the
recent layman's missionary meeting
at Columbia.

CHESTER MAN KILLS SERVANT.
Farmer Shoots Negro Woman With
Pistol Thought to be Unloaded.

Chester, Jan. 23.-Frazer Will
Jams, well known young farmer,
shot and killed Beck Chisolm, col
ored domestic in the employee Of his
mother, last night at the Williams
homestead, five miles East OF Ches-
ter. The verdict Of the coroner's
jury was accidental homicide, it ap-
pearing that Williams fired the re-
volver, which he thought had been
unloaded and which she had snapped
three times at him. The 45-calibre
bullet passed through the arm and
then entirely through the body. The
slayer was committed to Jail, but will
probably apply for bond tomorrow.

Bamberg Methodism.

Under date of January 18th, Rev.
T. G. Herbert writes the Southern
Christian Advocate as follows: ~
Dear Brother Nettles: The third
year at Bamberg is well under way.
We were most cordially received on
our return from Sumter just after
Conference, and when we walked into
the dining room we found the table
loaded with varied packages bespeak-
ing a hearty welcome. All Of this
was very kind and thoughtful and
most heartily appreciated.
Brother Smith was with us Sun
day night and held the first quarter
ly conference Monday morning. The
stewards, out OF the largeness of
their hearts, and believeing in prog
ress, raised the pastors salary 500.
For quite a while the congrega-
ton has felt the need Of a church
bell, as there Is no public clock by
which time may be regulated and
watches and clocks vary so much
that there is a lack of promptness in
gathering, so we determined to in
stall the bell. l wish I knew where
the Wofford bell was bought. It's a
splendid bell, though I've seen the
day when it sounded anything else
but sweet-unprepared for lessons or
exams
The League council met at the
parsonage Monday night and mapped
out to some extent the plans for the
year. Our financial method is to de-
ternline the amount needed for the
League work during the year and
then assess each member. This year
the League will give $50 to 500 Chow
University, besides $50 to local mis-
sion work.
Our Sunday-school for two years
past has been holding on Christmas
Eve "giving service" This takes
the place of the usual Christmas
tree. Instead of receiving present,
each scholar is asked to bring a gift,
either toy, fruit, dry goods, or gro
ceries, and these things are placed in
the hands of committee for distri-
button among the poor. I think it
an excellent idea and one that might
well be adopted by other schools.
We are trusting that the third
year shall be the best of the three.

PosTMAsTERs ON ANXIOUS SEAT
Several Carolina Officials in Doubt
as to their disappointment.


Washington, January 24.-Half a
dozen or more postmasters in upper
South Carolina towns are on the anx-
ious seat, and do not know whether
they are to be reappointed or wheth-
er they are about through handing
out the mails for Uncle Sam. During
the last week a number of such Off
cials have been in Washington, en-
deavoring to convince Postmaster
General Hitchcock in some way that
they are deserving Of reappointment.
With them have been two or three
very strong South Caro1inians, whose
recommendation in patronage mat
ters are generally followed. None
Of these persons want their presence
here to be known, because other ap-
plicants may get wind of what is
going on and come to Washington
also. 1t is known that there was
disappointment when no nominations
were sent to the Senate to-day.

4 YOUTHFUL "JIM BLUDSOE."
Like the Hero of the "Prairie Belle"
Post Met Fate Cnflinchingly.

Those who have time to mourn
will fine incentive to sorrow in the
fate of Fowler Post, aged 16, third
clerk on the steamer City of Saltillo.
The City of Saltillo struck a rock in
the Mississippi river "a miles from
st. Louis and went to the bottom.
Young Post perished while endeav-
oring to save the lives of the pas
sengers.
Wien it was apparent that the
boat was sinking, the stage plank
was lowered and the officers urged
the passengers to make their way to
the shore. The river was high and
there was a thick growth of timber
on the banks. It was dark and the
steamer was sinking rapidly. Fire
hade broken out in the rear and crew
and passengers were panic stricken.
There was no adequate landing place
for the big, swinging platform. 1t
was tilted at a dangerous angle, but
a number Of the. passengers attempt
ed to make their way over it to safe
ty. Young Post was assisting the
women and children. The stage
plank struck a tree and was tipped
sidewise and a dozen persons were
drowned, among them the youthful
third clerk.
Despite his youth, the boy had been
employed on steamboats, for num-
Der of years. On the maternal side
he came of a family of steamboat
men, which has been identified with
river navigation for half century.
His progenitors had lived on the
river and some of them had died On
the river. The influence of heredity
was paramount and was early mani
tested. He heard "the call of the
river" and answered it as hopefully
and as fearlessly as do those who
20 down TO the sea in ships"
History-in this case family his
tory-has repeated itself and Fowler
Post, only son of a widowed mother
and worthy descendant of long line
of Kentucky steamboat men, has met
an untimely, but heroic death. Like
"Jim Bludsoe of the Prairie Belle
immortal in song and story, he went
to his fate unfinchingly, solicitous
only of the safety of others, oblivious
to his own; faithful to duty even to
the charlottesville Courier-Journal.
