News from Olar.

Olar, June 6.-Mr. and Mrs. W.
H. Ritter, of Ehrhardt, spent Sunday
at the ancestral home. It may be
news to your readers to say that this
pretty young couple 'stole a march
on everybody, few days ago, by
getting married. The bonnie bride
and handsome groom have the best
wishes of all their friends, and they
are legion.
The bride is the daughter Of Rev.
J. w. Araial, of the South Carolina
conference, and she is very attrac-
tive, accomplished and cultured.
Willie Ritter is the son of Mr.. H.
J. Ritter, and is one Of the finest
boys in the county. We predict a
fine future for him. He and his
lovely bride begin life under propi-
tious circumstances and we hope
Cupid and the Fates will smile upon
them always.
The writer spent Saturday In old
Barnwell county, dined with Capt.
and Mrs. J. w. Jenny. To share the
hospitality of those gracious people
is a benediction. They have never
had any children, but have raised
and cared for more orphans than any
couple in this part of the State.
Their beautiful villa may rightly be
called the orphanage of Barnwell
county.
In the afternoon VIC called on Mr..
and Mrs. S. NJ. Bailey. These are the
richest poor CD people I have ever
seen. Sam owns and operates one
horse farm, and does most of the
work himself. He has money to
burn" and carries matches for the
purpose. He has enough old corn,
oats, hay and fodder to last him 3
years, and all farm supplies in pro-
portion. He has originated a new
pea, and the writer is sending his
variety to Washington to have them
tested on Arlington by the bureau OF
plant industry.

DEATH OF MISS MAGGIE RICE.
Estimable Young Woman of Dem
mark Dies in Prime of Life.

Denmark, June 3.-Miss Maggie
Rice, the oldest daughter Of the late
Rev. D. w. Rice, died at the home in
Denmark yesterday evening at about
sunset, after a lingering illness Of
many months.
Miss Rice was in the prime Of life.
At the death of her father several
years ago she became the sole manag-
er of his large estate, the standard
bearer of the home, the pillar of its
support and an abiding comfort to
her aged mother and younger sister.
With the large responsibilities thrust
upon her she developed a fine busi-
ness and executive capacity, which,
up to her death, gave to her home
the happy assurance Of leadership.
For this reason, the aged, grief
stricken mother and the devoted Sis
ter feel that her death is an ire
parable loss to them.
But the sweetest and most endur-
ing efforts of her life have been spent
in the realms of home, church work
and social circles. Her strong Chris
tian character carried sacred force
and tender benedictions to the world
about her. Her cultured, unselfsh
nature won for her the love and ad-
miration of all classes Of people. In
this large field, where true woman
hood counts for more than gold,
Miss Rice will be greatly missed.
In the presence of large assem-
blage of sympathetic friends and
stricken relatives her body was laid
to rest in the village cemetery this
afternoon by the remains Of her dis
tinguished father.
DR.. C. C. Brown, of Sumter, a
stanch friend of the family, con-
Quoted the funeral services.

DISPENSARY MEETING.
Attention Will be Given Several Maf-
ters by Winding-Up Commission. s.

Columbia, June 3.-The dispensaryi
commission has been called to meet
on June 10 for the purpose OF dis
cussing several matters of Importance
in connection with the work Of the
commission in winding up the affairs
of the old State dispensary. This an:
nouncement was made to-day by DR..
w. J. Murray, the chairman of the,
commission. There are several mat
ters relative to the settlement OF GER
tain claims that the commission has
not passed upon, and it is thought
that these will be taken up at the
next meeting.
The settlement of the claim Of the
State against the Richland Distilling
Company, Of this city, was not dis
cussed at the last session Of the COM
mission. It is thought that some
thing of a definite nature will be de-
cided at the sitting on June 10.
The commission recently announc-
ed that it had entered Judgments
against several whiskey firms to the
extent of 100000. OF this amount
nearly 100000 was against the Rich
land Distilling Co. It Is said that
this company has offered to make q
settlement in the sum Of $4,000,
but that this amount will not be ac-S
cepted by the attorneys for the COM
mission. There has been no con-s;
firmation Of the statement that the
offer was made to the commission.
