ALL HAPPY
May Valley Drainage District Direc-
tors Feel Good Over Bright
Prospects

Yesterday was first pay day with
the May Valley Drainage District,
the first installment Of bond sale mon
ey having arrived. 1t made many
who have worked for the district
happy, but none were half as pleased
as the directors, Messrs. J. o. Stream,
Ray McGrath and f. P. Thurston, who
have had TO face all the annoyances
and disappointment which always
come to those who blaze the trail in
any line. Two years Of faithful work
and perseverance that would not ad-
nit of failure have met their just re-
ward, and this great enterprise which
means so much for the beautiful May
valley. will now be rapidly completed.
The success of this district has
started others to talking of similar
enterprises TO redeem other seep lands
in other sections and especially the
low lands along the river. The dis
appointments and legal entanglements
which have badly delayed this enter
prise and added some to its cost, can
now be avoided by future enterprises
of this kind and as there are many

Famous .CartooniSt Dead" "

Under this caption the London
News and Leader, in recent issue
announces to it's readers the start
ling fact that Mr.. Eugene thinner
man. the famous American carica-
turist. is dead" The News and
Leader continues:
The deceased, who was % years
of age, started life as boy on farm
doing odd jobs, and was successive
ly assistant fish peddler, baker and
sign painter. He was connected with
Puck and afterwards as cartoonist
for Judge Mr.. Zimmerman is per-
haps better known to the public as
'Zim.'"
Which reveals the remarkable fact
that the News and Leader does not
know it's own aristocracy. Mr.. Eu-
gene Zimmerman, the Cincinnati
railroad magnate, was the. man who
died. He was the father-in-law OF
the Duke of Manchester.
"Zim," who also enjoys the name
of Eugene Zimmerman, refused to
take the announcement of his death
seriously.

Galicia.

AS saw Galicia few months ago,
in travelling across the whole length
of the bow-shaped province, was
reminded of our own upland prairie
States, North and South Dakota and
Western Kansas and Nebraska, says
a writer in the Christian Herald. The
same general contour of rolling prai-
rie; the same general climate, trifie
less severe than our Northwest, per-
haps: and much the same products
wheat and rye and barley and oats,
with some Indian corn in the south
ern portions. To be sure. there is
difference in the character Of the peo-
pie, and their outlook on life. The
poverty of Galicia-and it is poor
country-is the far more hopeless
poverty of age; of country ravaged
by war many times during the last
thousand years; of a country parti-
toned, and repartitioned, and parti-
toned again among its various con-
uuerors,, since it fell from its glorl-
Gus estate as part of the ancient
Kingdom of Poland.

"Cabbages and Kings.

H. R. H., the Infanta Eulalia, OF
Spain, has been called the "Enfant
Terrible" of Europe. But her clev-
er frankness and democracy have
won her great popularity in every
capital on the continent. In the
March Century she gives to the
world her intimate recollections or
great rulers and their Courts under
the amusing title 'Cabbages and
Kings" The first instalment deals
with no less a world figure than the
Kaiser himself. The golden irksome-
ness of the crown included, it seems,
his anxiety to give the Princess just
what she wished for breakfast. In the
old place of Sans-Souci at Potsdam
he admitted his pride in his French
ancestry. The Princess claims him
to be misunderstood. Infanta is the
aunt of the present King of Spain.
and daughter of Queen Isabella II
and the Duke of Cadiz. Undoubted-
ly the present lberian monarch has
drawn from the same ancestral
source as she his love of mischief
and daring. She has escaped at
least mentally from many Of the in
tolerable conventionalities of Court
life.

Good Business First Month.

The first month the Bamberg, Ehr-
hardt and Walterboro railroad has
been doing bushes was completed a
few days ago. The road has done
most satisfactory business, and has
been given liberal patronage by the
people of Bamberg, Ehrhardt and
intervening points. The road has
proven a great convenience to the
people in many ways, especially to
the farmers along the route, who
saved many miles of fertilizer haul
ing by getting their guano over the
new line. The road has also proved
to be a convenience to the people Of
Ehrhardt coming to the county seat

CAPTURE OF PRZEMYSL.
Capitulation of Galician Stronghold
Arouses Greatest Enthusiasm.

Petrograd, March 22.-The Aus
trian garrison of Przemysl capitulat-
ed today to the investing Russian
army. Ending of the long siege is
considered here of great importance.
1t gives Russia control of nearly all
of Eastern Galicia and relieves the
Russian army, which has been be-
sieging the city for service else
where.
Nothing since the capture of Lem
berg and the victorious sweep of the
Russian army through Galicia in the
beginning of the war has aroused an
equal degree of enthusiasm. News
paper offices and army headquarters
were bombarded with telephone in
quiries for information. Crowds stood
in a pelting snow storm before the
bulletin boards.
The fate of the fortress had been
inevitable since the failure Of the
last Austrian drive from the south
ward for its relief. There have been
daily evidences of provision shortage
and reports of the ravages Of dis
ease reached the besiegers from time
to time. Gradually the lines about
the city were drawn tighter, until
within the last fortnight Russian
rifiemen were within range Of, the
outer works. Russian artillery
pounded the forts ceaselessly.

Missionary Society Holds Meeting.

On Tuesday afternoon quite a
goodly number gathered in the ladies
parlor of the Methodist church to
hold the regular monthly meeting
of the Woman's Missionary society.
1t was indeed a pleasure to have
present our new ministers wife, Mrs.
Watson, as we'll as other visitors.
The subject for this meeting was
The adolescent in the home and our
opportunity. The president had
prepared quite an interesting. as we'll
as instructive programme. which was
carried out. several members taking
part.
A selection from the Voice, "A
Mothers greatest duty to her child
and the world" was read by Mrs. ].
w. Stokes.
An especially good paper, prepared
by Mrs. E. o. Kirsch, THE adde's
cent in the home and our relation
and opportunity to them, followed.
While we we're studying the prob
lens of our own children we could
not afford to forget that what we
demand for them, as their birth
right, belongs also to the neglected
little ones of the non-christian ma
tions, and that we, as mothers, must
give our efforts and prayers for them,
too. So short sketches were given
by Mrs. Adams. Mrs. Stokes and Mrs.
Simmons on the adolescent child life
in India, Japan and China. The
What, Why and How" of social SER
vice was given by Mrs. G. F. Bam-
berg and Mrs. J. J. Jones.
The business of the afternoon was
then taken up. After the reading
of the minutes of the February meet
ing. reports were asked for from the
different officers and committees.
Four and one-half dollars had
been paid out since the last meeting
for groceries for needy ones. Also
$500 from the treasury, with $500
contributed, given towards the paint
ing of South Side chapel.
The committee to visit the sick
this month will be Mrs. D. J. Delk
and Mrs: Bamberg.
After short prayer by Mrs.
Adams the meeting adjourned.
