Announces For Reelection.

The Hon. James F. Byrnes has
announced his candidacy for re-elec
tion to Congress from the End dis
:trict. He is now serving his first
term having been elected to sue
.ceed the late Congressman j. 0.
Patterson. Mr.. Byrnes, though one
of the youngest members of Con-
gress,has been useful servant of the
people. Though at first lacking in
experience, which is . common
handicap to all newly elected mem
,bers. he has by hard work and close
application to duty gained consid-
cradle influence and brings things
to pass in whatever he undertakes
for his constituency. He is always
active, alert and at his post of duty.
It is probable that he will be cho-
sen to represent the district again.

Charged With Making $40 Bill
From ST Note.

A preliminary hearing was given
Lonnie Randall Tuesday before
United States Commissioner W.
D. Ramey upon the charge of al
tering 81 bill by raising it to $40.
He confessed to cutting the figures
from tobacco stamp and pasting
them on the bill. Randall, young
white man who resides in Aiken,
went into one of>the Aiken dispen-
saries and ordered a quart of whis-
key, the price being 60 cents, and
rendered as payment therefor the
spurious $40 bill. The dispenser
detected that the money was not
genuine and passed itback toRandall,
telling him that he was liable for
indictment for having such bill in
his possession and attempting to
pass it as genuine. Nothing daunt-
ed by this refusal to honor his new
ly made money, Randall went
straightway to another dispenser
and repeated the attempt to pass
the bill. His arrest Immediately
followed. Commissioner Ramey
committed him to jail in default
of bond. He will be tried at the
June term of the United States
court, which convenes in Charles
ton.

Installation Service.

At the Presbyterian church last
Sunday a very interesting service
was held, installing Rev. E. G. Bal
ley as pastor Of the church. The
service was good, and the choir was
composed of the best voices in the
various churches. A very pretty Sc
lection was violin duett by Miss
Ellen Dunoyant and Mr.. M. +.
Wells. The sermon was preached
by Rev. W. H. Hamilton of Nine
ty Six, and was very interesting
and instructive discourse ION the
high place which the scriptures hold
in intellectual, national, moral and
spiritual life. The service was up
lifting and very much enjoyed by
all who were present.

make their future home. With
them goes tne love of Fountain Inn,
for they were kindly, generous folk.
While he served the First Baptist
church, Mr. Bussey was not alone
preacher to the Baptists. He was
pastor of the community. Where
ever grief came to dwell, Mr.. Bus
sey followed with kindly words and
genuine sympathy. Wherever there
was sickness Mr.. Pussey ministered
and gave himself with unstinted
generosity. He was and is a mans
man, but he has the tender heart of
woman.
And Mrs. Bussey-that dear old
lady has heart as big as her little
body will hold. She is an ideal pas
tors wife-an humble, beaming SER
want in the vineyard of her Master.
A thousand little incidents might be
mentioned to more clearly portray
her usefulness, but one occurs to
mind just now that will make the
point clear.
Mrs. Bussey knew that they were
to move away from their little home
before much benefit could be deriv-
ed from the garden. But the place
had been rented to Mr.. and Mrs.
Stokes, and so she cared for the
garden day after day. A neighbor
as ked her why she cared for the
garden when she would derive no
benefit from it, and Mrs. Bussey re-
piled: when Joe and Etolja move
in, it will be too late to plant gar
den and / want to have one ready
for them"
InaSmuch as We d:d It unto one Of
the least of these.
Fountain Inn will miss Rev. and
Mrs. G.. w. BusSev.
Mrs Emmic Redding will not
leave with her parents, but will re-
min to complete her work in the
music department: of the Fountain
Inn schools making her home mean
while with Robertand 1Irs. Quillen.

Terrible Calamity to More Anon
Perfectly Awful. He Begs
His Friends Not To
Read it.

More Anon has passed through
experiences tie past week, which
he desires to relate in order to get
sympathy. Science teaches, that If
there were no one present at the
falling of tree in the forest, there
would be no noise; and it has been
suggested, that men and women
would bear their pains without a
grunt, if it were not for the hope
of gaining sympathy. This article
is written in the hope of gaining
sympathy, but / moSte arnestly beg,
that you do not read SO narrowing
story for l fear, that YOU cannot
stand it. Please do not read 1t.
The story | am about to relate Is,
or ought to be true, more or less,
and that which Is not must be
charged to Poetic License, whoever
he may be, and is substantially as
follows: Mrs. Anon had uuloubted-
ly been planning, for she called Mr..
Anon and said: l have taken q no.
ton to have all that old papering
torn out, and the rooms painted IN
stead. Il have already arranged"
said she with "Efr' and Boon" to
do the work so you just please,
dearie, order the paint to-day so the
work can be done right away" On,
we'll, said Anon, the paperirg looks
very we'll, besides it's mighty busy
time to have the house torn up
from roof to cellar. But you know
dearie" she said, it will take but
one time to 90 it, and think you
can get at it right away" Mr.
Anon spoke indifferently, where
upon his beloved wife shook her
fingers, in her characteristic way,
and said, she wanted no foolishness
now, and the work had to be done.
Well Mr.. Anon knew what that
meant and ordered the paint and re-
marked, that it would have 10 be
done, but he wanted it distinctly
understood that he had contempt
for a hen-pecked man and always
did. Said he had known men in his
life time whom he felt sorry for on
account of being so badly hen-peck-
ed, but one thing certain no woman,
however sweet, should hen peck
him. SO the work started. 1t was
pitiful to see Anon crouchlng
around under the shade of the trees

Well Equipped For Life-Work

Rev. P. II. Bussey has finished
the full course at the Southern Bap
tist Theological Seminary and will
soon enter upon his life-work, that
of preaching the gospel. But few,
If any, young men from this coun-
ty have entered the ministry or any
other profession who have been
better equipped than has our young
friend. After completing the course
at the South Carolina Co-Educa-
tional Institute, Mr.. Bussey was
student at the Peabody Institute
for several years, .and after gradua-
ting there he taught in Louisiana.
for two years, continuing his stud
les all the while. Upon reaching a
definite decision to enter the minis
try, he gave up lucrative position
as teacher in order to take the
course at the Seminary. This de-
cade of hard work has developed
and equipped young Mr.. Bussey
for the exalted work upon which he
will soon enter, having already ac
cepted two churches in Darlington
county near Har tsville. The pray
ers and good wishes of his friends
all over the county will 60 with him
to his new field of labor, where we
are confident Heavens richest bless
ings will be showered upon his eff
forts

GdssElela Adueetiseer:.
Successful Gardener.

Our friend G.. w. Watson says he
is not only an amateur gardener but
the large box of vegetables that he
brought to The Advertiser Monday
proves him to possess the skill OF
tone whose experience extends
through many years. His cabbages
and beets are the largest of the sea-
son and the fully developed roast
ing ears are the earliest and finest
that we ever saw. Think of roast
ing ears the first of June! The Ad-
vertiser household is very grateful
to Mr.. Watson for his kindness.

because everything had to be taken
to pieces, and piled, first in one
room and then in another, or in the
middle of the room. At night, poor
old fellow had to sleep on a pallet
on the porch, and every time he
touched anything he got besmeared.
Finally the comforters came, as
they did to Job Of old, and while
two of them did not say much, IT.
g." was talkative, ,and comforted
on this wise: I painted a house
while we were trying to live in it,
and will never sdo such a thing
again. The truth is, said he, fool
men fix up and build houses, while
wise men live in them. Anon dis
missed them, as did Job of old, and
as he walked in the old woman
said lookout there Anon, don't spit
on the hath She had just had it
beautifully painted, and she made
the old fellow, everytime he wanted
to spit, get up and go out doors.T
The next day after these expert
ences, Anon had to take trip, and
needed some clean apparel, and
having paint on his nose, and on
his hands, in fact it was on him
pretty promiscously, he needed a
bath and, 10 and behold, he had to
go out on the back porch. Fearing
some one would come along, he
operated with great rapidity, and
in his innermost soul he praised
father Adam and mother Eve for
their ingenuity in rapidly sewing
up the fig bushes.
At night Anon had to sleep on
the porch, and fearing burglar, he
went to sleep with gun in hand and
in the wee small hours" dreamed
the monster was upon him. On to
the supposed burglar he went, ran
over the swing which Sick" had
bought for the baby, which entirely
filled one erd of the porch, struck
his nose terrible blow against the
swing, fred his gun, and then be-
gan following manfully, saying, he
was wounded. Mrs. Anon came run
ming and in her sweet way says she,
dearie, is youthurt." Yes mortally
wounded. as were, said Anon.
No you are not" she insisted, but
Anon declared he was shot smack
through the head for he saw the
fire, and some stars when the bur
glar shot After considerable rHb-
bing and bandaging Anon recovered
but declares till yet that he was al
most fatally wounded, as it were.
The bruises on his nose, however,
turned out to be blue paint and
when he learned this he subslded,
as it were, to some extent.
Mrs. Anon declares she had big
job on her hands, the biggest OF
which was in managing her dear
husband, and that these experiences
had been very worthful in teaching
her husband, as well as herself pa
tience, as it were, and that the NOR
al of the story is the fact, that eter-
nal vigilance is the price OF any
thing, and that we can't have any
thing worth having without troub-
les, annoyances, hindrances and per-
plexities. The truth is, we will all
feel fully more than repaid, as 1T
were, when the children and grand
children come to see us for the
pleasure it will give them. Besides,
said she the boys are manouverlng
as if they mean business, and If a
pretty daughter-in-law, should be
brought on visit, the general
cleaning up will give us pleasure,
which will compensate, as it were
for the accidents and misfortunes
