"Never!"
"How dare you'll" the parson
shrieked, and with a sudden wriggle
writhed out of his coat, leaving it in
Marjorie's hands. He darted to the
door and flung it open, with Mallory
hot after him.
The train was kicking up cloud
Of dust and getting its stride. The
kidnapped clergyman paused a mo-
ment, aghast at the speed with which
the ground was being paid out. Then
he climbed the brass rail and, with
hasty prayer, dropped overheard.

the fearsomely happy little spinster
who had moved up into his section
the section which had begun its ca
leer draped in satin ribbons unwit-

The communion of Mallory and
Marjorie under the benson of recon-
Citation was invaded by the jokes OF
the other passengers, unconsciously
ironic.
DR.. Temple chaffed them amiably:
"You two will have to take a back
seat now. We've got a new bridal
couple to amuse u.s."
And Mrs. Temple welcomed them
with: You're only old married folks,
like u.s."
The Mallorys were used to the mis-
understanding. But the misplaced
w1tticisms gave them reinsurance

by Mrs. Jones Angus Williams at her
handsome home, on Railroad Ave-

After many interesting games were
played it was found that Mrs. F. B.

presented with a lovely cut glass
dish and cream pitcher. A dainty
repast was then served. Those en-

Wofford Gym. Team Next Week.

The Wofford college gymnasium
team will be in Bamberg next Tues
day, March 26, and will give an ex-
hibition in the Carlisle Fitting
school auditorium. This is the first
time the team has been here and We
ought to consider ourselves for
tunate that they are to take this
town in on their trip over the State.
The team consists of twelve men, and
is undoubtedly one of the greatest
aggregations of college acrobats in
the South To those who have never
seen this team doing their stunts,
this will be an eye-opener. The
school auditorium should be taxed
to it's utmost capacity to see this ex-
hibition.
Tickets fer this exhibition will be
on sale at the Bamberg Pharmacy:
so cents, children 25 cents.
Benefit the Carlisle Fitting School
baseball team.

Miss Louise kilgus Entertains.

Bamberg's younger set' were
most delightfully."- entertained last
Thursday evening by Louise Kilgus
at her pretty home on New Bridge
street. The parlor and hall were
decorated with ferns and other
pot plants, while bright lights gleam-
ed beautifully amongst them. The
dreary gray clouds that had dripped
rain continuously for several days,
seemed to take sides with youth and
beauty and give way to fair lunar"
for that special night. In the large
hall eight tables were placed, for
progressive "Anagrams," which was
enjoyed to the fullest and was a
source of much fun and merriment
for the young folks who played. A
few came after the game had started
so they furnished music for the 9TH
ers. After the game was over Misses
Lurline Herndon, Ochie and Margaret
Jennings, laid cluny and embroidered
covers, and then to the happy boys
and girls was served such delicious
ambrosia with whipped cream, white
fruit cake and lady fingers. After
refreshments were over the scores
were counted and Mr.. Belton Hair
and Miss Homer Godbee scored the
same and Mr.. Hair made the lucky
cut that entitled him to the prize.
After awarding the prize, which
was beautiful box of stationery, the
young folks enjoyed Mr.. Rex Stokes's
music on the either, to whose accom-
paniment the boys and girls sang
old and new songs, their glad young
voices floating out on the still night
air, that brought back to the older
ones, dreams of days gone by.
Very reluctantly these young folks
and bade good night to the
pretty, charming little hostess, to
whom they thanked for such a happy
evening. Miss Kilgus entertained
about thirty-ive but the writer has
not been able to get complete list
Of those present.

Why She Lost Her Figure.

At a dinner party given lately
in Paris one lady was remarked
above all others for the elegance of
her figure and the perfection Of her
toilet. During the mauvais quart
d'heure before dinner she was sur
rounded by host of admirers, and
one less bashful than the rest ven
tured to offer her the flower from
his buttonhole 1t was accepted, but
as the "princess robe worn by the
graceful creature was lsc-d behind,
it was necessary to fasten the flower
to the front of her dress with a pin.
The operation was successfully per-
formed, and the fair lady was led in
to dinner by the donor of the flower.
They were hardly seated when he
heard a curious sound like the gentle
signing of the wind, and on turning
toward his partner he saw with hor-
ror that the lovely figure was get

fully less" The rounded form had
disappeared before the soup was
over, and long before the first entree
the once creaseless garment hung in
great folds about scraggy frame
work! 1t seems that the newest
dresses for 'slight" ladies are made
with alright Innings and inflated
when on till the required degree OF
embonpoint is attained. The unfor-
tunate lady mentioned above had
fogotten this little detail when she
fastened the fatal flower to her bosom
with a pin; hence the collapse!-La-
bouchere in Truth of March 8, 1877.

Damage by the Flood.

Last Friday the heaviest rain of
the season fell, and it not only spread
over all this State but other States
as we'll. In Georgia and Alabama the
damage by wind and rain was consid-
erable, and in South Carolina the
damage will be very great. In the
up-country the streams rose rapidly
and the railroad service all over the
State was badly crippled. Through
trains on the main line of the South
ern Railway were annulled, and for
several days no trains could be run
between Columbia and Spartanburg.
Bridges were washed away, and COM
munication with many towns was en-
tirely cut off. The food was the
most disastrous since that of 1908.
In this section trains were badly
delayed, and on Monday and Tues
day of this week all trains for Co.
lumbia came through Bamberg and
went by way of Blackville, as the
high water at the Congaree river at
Kingville made the trestle unsafe
for trains. The Coast Line trains
between Augusta and Sumter could
not cross the Santee at Remini late
Monday afternoon, on account OF
high water, which rose rapidly Mon
day, and this condition may last for
several days. These trains are now
using the Southern tracks to Colum-
bia.
Bamberg was cut off for several
days on acct unit of receiving no mail
from Saturday morning to Monday
morning. The trains came in some
what delayed, but there was no mail
clerk in the car and no mail was re-
ceived nor could any be sent off
Our people are indignant over such
treatment, but no one has as yet
obtained information as to why such
state of affairs was allowed. II
is to be hoped that a thorough in
vestigation will be made and steps
taken to prevent such an experience
in the future.

What She Wanted.

An old woman with peaked black
bonnet got aboard a trai1 in Ken
lucky, and after calmly surveying
everything in the coach she turned
to a red-haired boy and, pointing to
the bell cord, asked: "What is that,
and why does it run into that carr"
."That's the bell cord; it runs into
the dining carr
The old woman hooked the end of
her parasol over the bell cord and
gave it a vigorous jerk. Instantly
the brakes were set and the train
came to stop.
The conductor rushed in and asked
loudly:
"Who pulled that bell cord?"
81 did," calmly replied the old
lady.
''Well, what do you WANT" shout
ed the conductor.
