Cause for Suspieion.-Between sta-

came to a sudden stop with tremend-
Gus grinding of brakes. Immediately
a worried looking man rushed down
the track and demanded of the brake
man the reason.
"What is it?" he asked. "An acci-
dent?"
Somebody pulled the bell rope
was the reply. "The engineer put on
the brakes too quickly, and one OF the
cars went off the rails. Well be tied
up here about four hours"
-Four hours" exclaimed the pas

Down State Negroes Leaving.-A

Down State negroes LeaVIn9'TAC-
cording to local people who have given
the matter considerable thought, the
exodus of colored people from Bam-
berg county to northern cities has as
sumed such proportions as to become
alarming to the agricultural interests
of this section. County Treasurer
Jennings, who is in position to know
by reason of being the tax collector
estimates that no less than one thous-
sand negroes have left the county
within the past twelve months. or
this number at least 500 could be es-
timated to- be colored men, most OF
whom would be farm laborers. The
Herald is decidedly of the opinion that
farm owners are making grave mis-
take in not taking care of their
laborers during these strenuous times.
While it is bad going for everybody
now and especially the farmer, who
has failed to make a crop two or three
years in succession, it is also true that
with the return of better crop condi-
tions the farm owner is likely to find
himself without adequate labor with
which to produce a crop. 1t has been
quite impossible for any farmer, and
any money crop for at least two years
past. This Las caused great discon-
tent among the colored population.
They feel that the alluring wages re-
ceived by some of the most fortunate
negroes in the North means wealth for
them if they follow. OF course this is
not correct, as many colored people
can testify.--Bamberg Herald.

for luncheon, and if you crave a
hearty breakfast by all means
serve fish rather than lamb chops
or beefsteak Here are many in
teresting recipes for serving diff
ferent kinds of fish that are not
extravagant:
Fish Cutlets-Make white
sauce from two cups of milk, half
a cup of flour and a third of
a cup of butter. Add two cups of
flaked cooked fish, salt and pep
per and tablespoon each Of lemon
juice and onion juice and mix well.
Cool thoroughly and then form
into small outlets. Cover with
bread crumbs and brown in hot
fat.
Stewed Fish-One pound of had
dock, hake, cod or any fresh fish.
Half an onion chopped, one small
potato, one small carrot, chopped
parsley, half tablespoonful of but
ter, half tablespoonful of flour. a
bit of bay leaf, seasoning. Slice
the potato and carrot thinly and
put into saucepan with nearly a
pint of water. Add the onion, bay
leaf and seasoning and bring to the
boil. Put in the fish, cover the
pan closely and simmer steadily
for twenty-five minutes. Melt the
butter in small saucepan, work
the flour into it smoothly and add
nv deprees enough 1iuilor from III o

FOUR DANCING feet

I, was used to paying such prices for
things he bought.
Tom noticed her tactfulness,
and it raised her in his estimation.
In his thoughts he always had felt
her remarkable in many ways,
considering her environment, but
even so he was constantly being
surprised at some new character
| istic, some delicaCy of feeling.
If he noted curious looks cast at
them, he looking every inch man
of the world, she, so plainly dress
ed, so unstylish, so naive in her
remarks, he cared nothing. Tom

more so. In as far as he could he
did as he pleased. Gertie saw
nothing, had no eyes for anyone
| but him. Superior smiles, know
ing looks passed over her as If
they had not been. And when,
their shopping finished, he took
| her to luncheon in one of the fash
ionable avenue restaurants, she
still saw no one, thought of no one
but him.
The next day was Sunday. They
were putting in a new floor at the
| Olympic, and for the first time
since she had danced there she
would have today and evening off.
| The place would be closed.
We'll take a long ride If it is
pleasant" Tom told her over the
luncheon, then we will 30 some
whore in the evening"
I'D love to-" she said shyly.
Since he had not repeated his
kiss a certain shy feeling had pos
sessed her. The feeling she had
| looked for because of his caress.
| and had teen surprised when it
did not come. He had perhaps
! concluded he didn't like her well
enough to want to repeat the kiss,
she thought, and the thought
tinged her manner.
Then that's that" he said
heartily.
They fingered over their lunch
| con, then he took her home. She
felt disappointed that he could not
see her that night, that he could
not come to the Olympic after her.
He had explained that he could
not, that an engagement for the
evening would prevent. Then she
scolded herself for expecting more
or his company in one day. He
mad taken her shopping with him,
TO luncheon. She was terribly
greedy. So she thanked him pref

her, and successfully hid her dis

Dear Mrs, Thompson: I am
girl of nineteen and am going with
a fellow aged twenty-five. / have
been going with him nine months
and he still wants to come, but he
treats me so coolly when any one
| is around and doesn't pay any at
tention to me. We went TO church
one time, and took another girl
with us, and instead of his sitting
in the middle he sat beside her and
then / said, you can sit between
i US If you want to-" Was 1t proper
| for me to say that?
/ think a lot of him and he says
! he likes me or he wouldn't keep
looming. We are not engaged and
he never says anything about get
ting married. DO you think he
doesn't care enough about me and
that is the reason he does that
way?
Would it be proper for me to let
him keep coming?
WORRIED.
The boy probably feels that is Is
| not good taste to fuss over you
when others are around. If he is
courteous and pleasant to you as
he is to the others, you have no
reason to complain. When you
went to church, it was correct for
him to wait until you and the
other girl had gone in and then to
enter the pew. No harm was done
| by telling him he could sit in the
middle, but it would have been a
little better to let him sit in the
place he chose.
1t is true that the boy would not
keep on coming if he did not care
for you, but the fact that he en-
Joys you is no sign he intends to
marry you. He is very young and
probably realizes that at present
he is not in a position to become
Iengaged. There is no reason why
you should not keep him as your
friend. Do not talk of love to HIM
and do not ask him if he cares for
you. As long as he continues to

Gertie had seen Tonne had
brought her home, but the kiss
had not been repeated, and their
talk had been principally of Tim.
1t may be that the presence of
Lilly had prevented the caress, al
though Len O'Connor, who was
with her, had shown no such deli
cacy and had kissed Lilly openly
with much gusto.
Only a week now remained of

Gertie to a matinee, and she had

again. He had called at the Olym-
pic several times to take her home,
