dwelling house. and family" with ref
erence to the population schedule to be

Census Bureaus lengthy printed instruct

|loyees of hotel, if they regularly sleep

ROUTE 3.

Miss Elise the pretty little eight year ole
daughter o. Nfr and Mrs j H Mcneil enter
tanned a number Of her little friends last
Saturday afternoon at her birthday party
merry games were played and the children
had a jolly good time.
Delightful refreshments were served
dnring the afternoon and when the tim {
came to say goodbye, all wished for the
charming little hostess many happy
returns Of this joyous occasion.
Many farmers along route three are
building splendid barns and good tenant
houses showing thrift, energy prosperity
along this line, a little later on an appli.
cation of paint and ~whitewassh would add
greatly to the beauty of their country

Mr. Thomas Mcneil is now convalescing
from a severe attack of gripp.
Schools white and colored are in a flou-
rishing condition and generally well at
tended.
Many citizens In country Cities and
towns rejoice over the improved condition
of Senator r. Tillman and wish for him
q speedy and sure recovery.
The roads are now in a bad condition,
made so by heavy hauling of lumber guano
engines etc and especially by the recent
heavy rains. II any of the carr iers should
come up missing" they can be found any
where along their routes in a mudhOle
that is if they are not lost tOsight.
Our public roads are not what they
ought to he accOrning to the money spent
upon them, nor never will be until we
have q different system of rOad working,
as shown by many years Of sad experience
It's the same work and expenditure Of
funds year after year, over and over, and
still no good solid road beds. Let our
people, especially farmers, get the good
road" business into their minds. Give it
good practical study and see il more last
ing, and better results cannot be obtained
along this line, if 70 the value of their
lands, and the great prosperity Of the
people at large would be increased.
The farmers now stand side by side with
the city folk as they enjoy the daily papers
and the telephone, and all needed to make
their advantage complete is good roads.
Last Friday we had the hardest rain
that has fallen in several years. The car
riers all made their regular rounds except
one Or twO. ,
Most of the patrons along the rural
routes are catching on to Uncle Sans
orders, in regard to the penny nuisance,
which says that pennies put in rural boxes
for postage must be wrapped in a small
bit of paper, Orplaced in an envelope or
small box. Any letter posted with loose
pennies in box will not be taken out by
carriers, SO if your mail is left blame only
yourself.

Mayor May Fine Gamblers. Opinion BY

The circuit court has been reversed and
the question rs to whether a Mayor has
jurisdiction in gambling cases settled.
Not long since the Mayor Of Anderson

the grounds that the Mayor had no au'

The exception was sustaine d and then
Mayor Sherard sent the matter to the

The Lancaster News tells of "A negro
woman, one Edy Ingman OF that County,
who died at the age of ONE where be-
tween 115 and 125 years.
This reminds us of a PHILIPPINE incident,
While standing on the public plaza OF
Ligao n day and gazing at things new
and curious, a living mummy came tod
ding by. His hair was white, his skin
seemed to roll about over his small bones
with no other purpose than to hold them
together-u sack to hold the skeleton; his
height was not over four and one half feet,
tho he seemed to have been at one time
probably five and one half fcet-his form
was bent; he shufTled along like some I'M
canny wizard; the red juice of the beetle
nut was on his lips. Withal he looked aged
findced, intact, almost ancient.
One of the party asked the old man what
his age was. Without the least hesitation
he replied: Dos cientos cincuenta amos
tengo 70, senor-Sir I am two hundred
and fifty years old!
And he looked every minute of it. On
repeating the matter to a Spaniard, the
Spaniard said that there were a great
many very old men among the Philippines
but that they-these old men-did no
know their W ages, and when asked
their ages gave fictitious numbers.
But he was old and no mistake.

Dr.. Babcock INDICATED.

To those who are personally acquainted
with DR.. Babcock, who know him well, the
Legislatures refusal to censure him must
come as a welcome conclusion to an un-
welcome agitation.
DR.. Babcock has made many improve
ments at the Asylum for the insane but
this fact was passed V 9 without u at
tention being called to it.
DR.. Babcock himself has repeatedly in
formed the public that money was needed
to inaugerate changes at the Asylum but
we did not listen. Why, then, should we
Jerk him up as If he were guilty almost OF
q misdemeaner?
DR.. Babcock Is a thorough gentleman,
.unobtrusive, earnest, and competent, a
man Of heart, a man Of soul. The scathing
aspersions of some Of his fellow country
men must have deeply wounded so sensi-
tive q nature.
But he is vindicted and we rejoice.
