ADVICE TO THE GIRLS.
How to Capture and Hold Men After
They Are Captured.

II were a girl, says writer In
an exchange, desirous Of getting
married, would not trouble about
my looks further than to keep neatly
and becomlngly dressed. But should
set resolutely to work to take an In
terest in men generally. study them
as one studies geology. botany, ento-
moIogy, or any other ology that ap-
peals to the taste, and l should seek
to become rorgetful Of self. So many
girls spoil their chances by behaving
as II It were mans duty to study
them. or course, they may be the
interesting creatures they think
themselves to be, but their attitude
repels investigation Of their merits.
A girl is never so charming as
when she has forgotten self and ap-
pears sincerely Interested In some
one. else; sympathy is a valuable as
set, and men like to be thought In
terestins. Their lives and indivli-
uel natures, not their hearts, should
be the direct objects Of interest, AMI
nothing ought to be easier than to
check any signs Of siddiness on the
part of the young man, at the out
set; one should simply lessen the
force of her sympathetic interest in
him. While studying the specimen,
the girl should expect nothing from
the man-not eysn caniy. We know
that men have a hard time. these
days; but women do not find the bat
tie Of life 2 playground.
Instead, however, Of mentioning
ones own struggles, the girl should
encourage the specimens to show
their ability to fight 1t out against all
odds. If girl wants to especially
please her specimen, she should ask
for his advice. Men have advice to
give away. and they are always more
than willin? to bestow it literally on
their women friends. 1t pleases them
fer a woman to depend on them,
even to show them her new gowns
and hats and ask II they like them.
a man likes his sweetheart to recog-
nize the correctness Of his taste and
judgment. So, If you wish TO put
YOUR specimen in good humor, ask
his advice 1t remains with you to
do rs you please with it, after 1t is
given.

De.tll of q Young Man.

The Bamberg correspondent OF
The News and Courier says: g.
Simms Hunter, son Of Sheriff J. B.
Hunter, died suddenly at the resi-
dence Of his father on Monday night.
He was robust young man, aged
21 years, and was at work at his
brothers hardware store all day
Monday. About 10 o'clock Monday
night he began to feel unwell, but
his symptoms were not sufficiently
alarming TO call a physician until
after - o'clock. When the ply
sician arrived he was beyond the
reach Of human aid, and soon
breathed his last. His sudden death
was shock to his relatives and
friends. and there were many who
went to tce cemetery to pay last
tribute to their friend, who so re-

THOSE CENSUS FIGURES.
orangeburg Not Quite as Big as Some
Thought She Was.

While the population Of Orange
burg Is not quite as large as some Of
US thought 1t ought to have been,
still there is no room to kick, as
we believe 1t was fairly and correct
ly taken. We agree with the CORE
spondent Of The News and Courier
that there are other things to be re-
garded and considered. some OF
which to, the minds of the people OF
Orangeburg are Of more Importance
than mere. numbers.
Those who are best Informed did
expect the figures to reach about
$500 of bona fde citizens, but they
have never been given to claiming
the earth. A public or city census
waB taken in 1904, which showed a
population IT 5,232, gain over the
United States census Of 1900 Of 78f.
An examination of the censuses OF
1890, 1900 and 1910 shows that the
gain for the decade from 1890 to
1900 was 1901, and for the ten-year
periol. from 1900 to 1910, Is 1,451
"a difference of 50. This is evil
dence of the even growth in popula-
ton.
The matter Of more Importance
than mere increase in numbers Is the
question of commercial growth, and
1t Is easy Of demonstration that the
commercial Importance Of this city.
the proof being the actual volume
Of business done here. has increased
perhaps frnrfold during the last
decade. Therefore, from CONNER
clal standpoint the future OF, this
town is assured. Its citizenship is
Of the very best, its enterprise Is
known Of all men and, whether In
numbers it grows fast or grows slow,
1t is here to stay and will give an
account of itself in the days to come
as it has In the days that have gone.
Ten years ago Orangeburg was the
twelfth city in size In South Caro-
lima. but according to the census just
issred she has passed Marion and
New berry and Is now the tenth city
IN size according to population. We
think the complete figures will show
that Orangeburg has gained more In
white population than in colored,
and we would not be surprised to
find that we have more residents now
Of the former than the latter class.
as The State says the increase In our
population is handsome enough to
indicate prosperity, and that Its posi-
tinn as the metropolis Of the region
of the Edisto seems assured.

: a TEAM STRUCK BY TRAIN.
A Mule Is Killed and Young Man
Seriously Hurt.

. Fl. . - 'zEt+ = F.
81 About two o'clock Tuesday aG-
,ternoon an accident occurred where
the Atlantic Coast Line Railway
crosses Whitman street In the SUI
burbs OF the city which resulted in
the killing of a fine mule and the
painful wounding Of Mr.. B. l.. Stro-
man.. son of Mr.. Zack Stroman. uf
the Middlepen section, by 8 freight
train on that road.
It seems that the young man, dfiy-
ing a double team, attempted TO
cross the railroad track just ahead
OF an incoming freight train, and
that the mules and vehicle were
struck by the front Of the, engine,
causing the death Of one of the
mules, and in the fall of Mr.. s..r.man
from the saock of the collision his
head was pretty badly inintcI by
some portion Of the wagon OF en:ine.

Mr.. Stroinan received medical at

that his Injuries will prove Serious.

Want Il Recount.

Tie Oranssburg correspondent OF
The State says 1.-The census return
as to Oranseburg given out In Wash
irston placing Orangeburgs popu-
lat:on as p.90G, came as surprise
to Orangeburg. The enumerators
who took the 18th census in this city
in compiling their returns before
sending them to Washington. to-
tailed over $500 population for Or
angebury. 1t is suggested that re-
count be taken, as was the case In
Augusta. as there is an apparent mis-.
take. In all probability the recount
will be made by volunteers, or by
the city through the police depart
ment.

SHOULD BE A SUCCESS.
Will Farm Scientifically on Very

real estate holdings of the company,
which are extensive, will be operated
by the owners in extensive farming,
which will be done on the most ap-
proved and modern methods under
the direction OF capable and scientific
managers.
The personnel Of the corporation
makes it an especially strong one.
J. S. Wannamaker Is president OF

pany and president Of the warehouse

success and agricultural attainments.
All OF these gentlemen have large
agricultural interests Individually,
are young men in the prime of life
and are the kind that make prosper
ity a reality wherever they may cast
their fortunes. There is no reason
why planting on a large scale should
not pay the company handsomely. 1t
pays in other places and it will pay
on the splendid lands that these gen.

will be watched with interest, and
we predict Its complete success.

FIVE NOTCH ROAD
EXPLANATION OF NAME THAT
HAS PUZZLED MANY.
How Some Roads Come to Be Desig-
mated by Certain Number of
Notches.

The name give Notch" by which
one Of the public roads that leads
out Of Oran geburg is known, has af-
ter excited inquiry as TO how and
why such a designation was given 1t.
A recent article in Harper's Maga-
ane gives the explantion below,
which we rather think Is the correct
one. Here Is what Harper's says:
I'm certain of our States, notably
in Missouri, there are to be found
highways bearing the curious desi!-
nation, three notch roads. Such a
road Is q public highway, as distin-
gu.sAed from road leading to a saw
mill, church, a school house or
back in the WOODS to farm house.
A three notch road is the kind that
is sure to go somewhere. Should
one, travel far enough along 1t he
will reach a town in due time.
"Back Of this odd designation is
an interesting story. It appears that
George III. decreed that II English
public roads should be marked with
his name. In England AMI his colo
MES public roa1s have SO long baen
known as the Kings highway that no
one can positively state when the
custom originated. When George I'LL.
desired his name to be posted at con-
venient points on the highways IN
America, the refractory subjects Of
bis majesty here adopted the expe-
dent Of cutting three notches on
trees, in that way avoiding specific
reference to King George.
after the Revolution, of course,
the name was universally omitted,
but the three notches proved useful
as means Of marking public roeds.
Virginia colonists, 1t IS said, car
ried this system to Tennessee, Ken
lucky and In1iana and their chill
dren. carried it on to Missouri.
"Originally Missouri had no coun-
t!es.e Later, when these CAME. tne
State decided that were the task left
to the counties themselves there
would be little road building. So the
State CONSTRUCTED the roads an1
marked them with three notches.
Afterward, when the counties unaer-
took the making Of reads they were
designated in the timber country
with two notches.
prior to and during the civil war
this distinction was preserved and
three notch roads were always
through roads. leading from one
town Of some Importance to- another.
Two notch roads were less important
highways, and roals not notched at
all were either railroads or plank
roads. A railroad was road lead
ing to some camp where men were
splitting rails while plank road led
to q sawmiil."

Rehoboth Missionary,
Society.

On Saturday afternoon last, the
Woman's Missionary Society of Re
hoboth held its monthly meeting at
the home of Mrs Charles Strom.
fThe attendance was large indeed,
only a few of our members being
absent.
Several very interesting pieces
were read which were> enjoyed by
all present. One deter in particu-
lar was touching, being an appeal
from Mrs. j. e. burst of Green
wood, IS. G., for chicken from
each member of our society for the
little invalid girls at the orphanage.
Of course this appeal touched eve
ry heart, and every member agreed
to contribute one or more chickens
tobe shipped this week to the OF
phanage.
Later on we are going to send
these little invalid girls a box OF
nice, fresh eggs.
Our society is in most prosper
sous condition, / think, and at,every
meeting one or two new members
are enrolled, which is quite encour-
aging. to our President, in fact, to
all of our members, for we feel that
rho LANCER onr membership is, the
more we can accomplish for the
Master.
Music for the occasion was fur
nished by Mrs. Robert seigler, who
has very remarkable musical tai
ent. Mrs. Sallie Winn also sang
number of those old, sweet songs for
us, which we greatly enjoyed.
Our efficient president, Miss Car
rie Burkhalter. told us that she was
going to have our apportionment
card enlarged and placed in Reho-
both church SO that we can see
what we are doing for missions, etc
Each member of our Society has
tiny mail box which they are to put
&c. a week into, and at the end of
five months have an opening. In
this way quite a;neat little sum can
be raised, and we can hardly realize
where it came from.
Our next meeting will be held at
the home of Mrs. Butler Strom on
Saturday before 4th Sunday in Feb
rliary. We are looking for large
attendance, as all of our members
manifest great interest insthe meet.
