Governor Blease Orders Whiskey
Cases to Magistrate.

Gov. Blease has instructed his
whiskey constables in Richland coun-
ty not to bring any more cases be-
fore the recorder of the city Of Co
lumbia. He has instructed them to
bring all violations of the dispen-
sary law before a magistrate.
Gov. Blease said that the fines re-
ceived from the cases of violation Of
the dispensary were considerable and
went into the city treasury of Column
bia. Gov. Blease takes the position
because there was some talk of cut
ting the water off from the governors
mansion should the veto of the item
of $500 for water have been up
held. There is some question as to
whether the governors mansion is
public building or not.

Receiver Asked.

Washington, Feb. 18.-Petitions
for an injunction to prevent the In
crease of certain insurance rates and
for the appointment of a receiver for
the supreme lodge Of the Knights OF
Pythias, a corporation, and G.. NJ.
Hanson and U. D. Hunt, have been
filed in the District Supreme court
by John H. Turpin, Of Greensboro,
Ala, and Joe Williams, of this city,
both members of the fourth class OF
the endowment rank of the Knights
of Pythias.
Justice Gould signed rule, res
turnable March 3, to show cause why
the order should not be enjoined
from collecting the monthly assess
ments now levied against the petit
TONERS. 1t is the contention Of the
petitioners that an increase in the
amount of their assessments destroys
their rights under their contract
with the order.

Fire Saturday Night.

Last Saturday night about half
past eleven o'clock the house OF
Matthew Stewart, colored, on New
Bridge street, near the colored Bap-
tist church, was totally destroyed by
fire with it's contents. Matthew is a
barber at Nimmons's shop and when
the alarm was given he was just leav-
ing the shop to go home, as they keep
open late on Saturday nights.
Little of the furniture was saved
as the flames had gained such head
way when the fire was discovered, in
fact Matthews wife and children
barely had time to get out of the
house, and they had to escape with
out being fully dressed. 1t is not
known how the fire originated, but /!
is supposed to have caught in the
kitchen some way. The house was
a neat one of several rooms, painted
and fixed up nicely, and the loss falls
heavily on Stewart. He had $500
insurance on the house and $500 on
the furniture, but this will not cover
the loss.

Married at Ridgeland.

Mr.. S. C. Rhode, formerly of this
county, but who has been living at
Virgins for several years, where he
is a machinist for the Westmoreland
Lumber Company, was married at
Ridgeland Sunday to Miss Daisy Dun
ming. The ceremony took place at
the home of the brides parents, and
was a most beautiful wedding, the
color scheme being purple and white.
Forty-six guests were entertained at
q course dinner soon after the cere-
mony, and the bride and groom left
for trip to Charleston and other
points. They will make their home
at Virgins. Mr.. Rhode is we'll
known in this county and has many
friends, who extend best wishes to
him and his bride.

Garbage cans will soon be placed
upon Main street and near public
buildings; is it asking too much to
beg that everybody will put their
waste paper, banana peelings, and
all trash into these receptacles, in
stead of throwing them upon the
streets to be waited here and there
by the winds or left to repose in un-
slightly heaps by the sidewalks. II
possible, more unsightly even than
the waste paper are the piles of tin
cans, bottles, etc., heaped on the
streets, or at best placed in some
battered box, an eye-sore to every
passer-by, remaining there often
times for weeks. To relieve this
state of affairs a committee submit

from certain streets. Each house
keeper will then know just what

The Proper Spirit.

We are glad to publish the letter
below, not only for the liberal contri-
button therein, but for the beautiful
sentiment it expresses. 1t is a glo-
rious day for our country when all
sections of the country are united
and men contribute just as freely to
monuments to those who fought
against them as they do to those who
fought with them. In the face of
such a letter, the people of Bamberg
county should readily subscribe the
balance needed for the erection of
a Confederate monument to the Con-
federate soldiers of the county:

it will help you to erect a monu-

Corn Club Organized.

Pursuant to the call issued by Co.
Superintendent of Education R. w. D.
Rowell, a good number of the sub
stantial farmers of the county and
a number of boys met at the cour:
house Tuesday to organize a boys
corn club for this county. Mr.. L. L.
Baker, of Bishopville, district agent
was present and made an interesting
address on the movement. The
club was orgaized with the following
officers:
Benjamin Hill, president; Leland
Sandifer, vice president; Lionel Clay
ton, secretary; R. w. D. Rowell.
treasurer. The following boys were
enrolled as members Of the club:
Sammie Clayton, Leland Sandifer
Roy M. Hunter, James Griffith
Walter Delk, D. P. Matheny, Lionel
Clayton, Ryan Clayton, Wilson Har.
rison, Benjamin Hill, Francis BAN
berg, S. G. Mayfield, Jr., Clifton
Kinard, Joe Willie Chitty. This
makes IA members to commence
with, Ind another meeting of the
club will be held at the court house
on the first Saturday in March. The
boys and the treasurer will soon call
on the farmers and business men
for contributions in the way OF
prizes, and they should meet with a
liberal response for we know OF
nothing that will give a greater in
incentive to farming and keep the
boys on the farm than these corn
clubs for boys. 1t will make them
study and take an interest in sci
entific agriculture, and cannot but
be of great benefit to the county. We
feel sure many prizes will be offered
for various yields. The details OF
the contest will soon be arranged.

A German shoemaker left the gas
turned on in his shop one night, and
upon arriving in the morning struck
match to light it. There was ter
rifle explosion, and the shoemaker
was blown out through the door al
most to the middle of the street.
A passer-by rushed to his assist
ance, and, after helping him to arise,
inquired if he was injured.
The little German gazed at his
place of business, which was now
burning briskly, and said:
'No, I amt hurt. But / got out

The Great Pattern.

Our chats on dress naturally lead
to the subject Of patterns. Even
more important than the material
itself is the pattern, for without a
correct guide you cannot get good re-
suits.
Think of the number of dresses
made for one person in lifetime.
Yet even after so much practice, un-
less one is an expert designer and
cutter, they are rarely ever made to
suit your fancy. There is more than
apt to be some defect, even after so
many repeated efforts. This should
make us think of the great-the su-
preme Importance of having the very
best pattern to shape our lives by,
for we have only one trial, and at
the best our efforts to mold our lives
are apt to be crude and ill-shapen.
We must select some one higher
than ourselves to initiate. Some boys
will take Washington, Lincoln, or
Lee; the girls, perhaps Martha Wash
ington, Susanna Wesley, or to bor-
row most lovable character from
the old world, Florence Nightingale.
These are all shining examples, wor-
thy of emulation, but there is one
character that stands out even above
them-the only really perfect man
that has ever lived-the Man of Love.
We must try to be like Him. Al
though the Son of King, He came
to earth in the most humble man
ner, and all His life, instead of be-
ing served by others, He ministered
unto them. He went about healing
the sick, opening the eyes of the
blind, cleansing the lepers, and
even raising people from the dead.
Does it not seem that such per-
son would be welcomed every
where? But He was not. He had
many bitter enemies who were con-
tinually trying him with difficult
questions, but even they had to ad-
NIT they could find no fault in Him.
It is heart-rending-but let us go a
little farther-one of His own dis
ciples betrayed Him into the hands
of His enemies, and sold Him for
thirty pieces of silver. Truly sad
commentary on the weakness of men!
Yet, after all this, He cherishes no
bitter feelings, but is still the Man
of Love. Is not this the character
we should try to emulate? Try to
get picture in our minds of what
Christ's ideal woman would be like,
then put your thoughts in writing,
for future reference, and what may
still be more difficult, try to live up
to it. You can't do all at once, but
little by little you can grow more
and more like Him. ''Be noble; and
that nobleness that lies
In others sleeping but never dead,
Will rise to meet thine own"
