Crushed Again.?On an incoming Vandalia train was a family of five?a fat, good natured man, his wife, a pretty, but nervous lady, and gracious knows 'twas enough to make her nervous. the trouble she had with their three children. The eldest, a boy of six, mashed his hand by pulling the window down on it. A little later, at a sudden jerk of the train, he turned a sommersault, bruising and gashing his head. Then the half year old baby up4 set the alcohol lamp from the windowsill, which frightened the mother nearly into hysterics, which was a signal for all the children to set up in chorus. But during the next five minutes, when that half-distracted woman was trying to stop the music, that fat man from the seat back of her looked on without an effort?he was really charming in his complacency. When quiet reigned again the wife said with a sigh: "I do know I have more trouble than any woman on earth." "O, no, my dear; don't say that," answered Benedict, not moving his eyes from his paper. "I do say it!" she replied, more stoutly. "There's no calamity could befall a woman which I have not suffered." "O, no, my dear; not so bad as that. For instance: You are not a widow," he answered, sweetly. She held her breath two seconds and then retorted: "I said 'calamity,' sir."?St Louis Republic. The Value of Advertising.?A merchant who lives on the upper west side of the city was awakened at 2 o'clock one morning by the continued ringing of his front door bell. He tried to go to sleep despite the noise; but had to abandon the attempt when a series of shouts coming from the street in front of his house assailed his ears. Mingled with the shouts he heard the voices of men engaged in a war of words. Jumping out of bed he ran to a window, threw it open and leaned out. There were Ave men on the street, and seeing him they began to yell with renewed vigor. "What is wrong?" shouted the merchant. The five tried to reply at the same time and the only word the merchant understood was "Fire." "What is wrong?" he shouted again. One of the five got his voice before the others. "Your store has burned out," he screamed, "and I'll give you $5 more than anybody else for the privilege of pasting bills on the front of your building."?New York Sun. Two Senators. ? Representative Jones, of Virginia, tells this story on his father: Directly after the war, Jones, senior, was sent to the state senate. An old slave who had belonged to him was elected to the senate. The two drew adjoining seats. Senator Jones was very courteous, and in addressing his former slave always called him senator. ?The old Negro stood it for sometime and finally said; "Massa William, I don't like dis senator business. Kain't I come down to yo' house and visit that cook of yourn? I suhtinly would like permission to visit yo' kitchen." The request was granted, and while Senator Jones was in his library the other senator was down in the kitchen visiting the cook.?New York World Washington correspondent.

You will find things pretty much as you left them 20 . years ago. Over there is the apple tree you planted." "Yes, the same tree, only larger; and there is the doghouse I made for the new pup!" "Yes; poor Carlo! He died of old age 10 vears ago. That dog you see is his grandson." "And over there is the chicken house I helped to build for old Biddy's first brood." "Yes' poor old Biddy! I wish I had known you were coming home." "Why?" "Because I might have saved her; but I took her to market last week."?Philadelphia Call. 9 ^ ? A Loving Couple.?"Mos' married folks quarrel more or less," remarked Uncle Mose; "but I knows a man an' wife what hasn't had a furse fur de las' five yeahs." "Am dey libbin togedder?" "Sartiniy! dey libs in de same house. She goes off ebery mawnin' and washes by de day." "But p'raps dey quarrels at night. How does you know dey don't?" "Dey don't hab a bit o' trouble, I tells yer.

Dat's been goin' on fur de las' five yeahs, an' de fust cross word hasn't passed between them yit." ti'f One of the churches in a little western town is so fortunate as to have a young woman as its pastor. She was called to the door of the parsonage one day and saw there a much embarrassed young farmer of the German type. "Dey said der minister lifed in dis house," he said. "Yes," replied the fair pastor. "Veil?h'm?I?I vant to kit merrit!" "To get married? Very well, I can marry you." said the ministeress encouragingly. "Oh, but I got a girl already," was the disconcerting reply.?Brooklyn Life. A little girl of four years, having written a letter consisting simply of waving lines, asked her father to post it.

Burned, near Concord church, ten miles north of Rock Hill, on Wednesday of this week, the story and a half cottage of Mr. J. W. Simril. The building had seven rooms and was occupied by Mr. Ike Boyd and his wife. They were absent from home at the time of : the fire, and all their personal effects were burned, the loss being total, as they had no insurance. The building was insured for $275. It is not known how the fire originated; but it is probable from the hearth, although Mr. Boyd says that there were only a few coals in the fireplace when he left home.

Wilkerson has now shipped a carload of home-raised hay, a good variety, to the Rock Hill Supply company, of Rock Hill. This is the first and only shipment of hay by the carload from Hickory Grove. Can any other town of the Piedmont section boast of shipping baled hay by the carload from a model farm near the limits? Mr. Wilkerson informs us that he is unable to supply the demand for his hay. The Supply company, of Rock Hill, told us that it was as fine a lot oi hay as they ever handled and that they were highly pleased with the different varieties of the hay. Mr. Wilkerson also ships his home manufacture of syrup by the barrel to different points and finds ready sale for it Hon. T. P.

Oates tolled the old year of 1900? the close of the 19th century out and rang in the new year of 1901?the beginning of the 20th century.

This will be a good thing for Cowpens and we trust the enterprise may meet with abundant success Our people were somewhat surprised when it was learned that the store of McCraw Bros., had been closed and that the firm had announced themselves as voluntary bankrupts. They had been in business only about a year and were thought to be perfectly solvent Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Webster last evening tendered a reception to Col. J. G, Wardlaw and bride. Only a few of the most select friends of those interested were in attendance. The affair was an elegant one and the evening was mosi delightfully passed.

Carter Many of the Items we read p about the dispensary robbery at Kingstree are followed by the remark, "No arrests have been made." Who expec- ( ted arrests? It has all along been gen: erally understood that the dispenser was not justified In being robbed as he i alleges that he was. His bond had been j allowed to expire, he had not turned ~ over money to the treasurer, as required by the law; but held it in the dlspensary. The board of control, knowing all this, and also that this dispensary ; had been "robbed" several times be- ? . fore, simply notified the state board m that the dispenser's bond had expired, i but allowed him to go on as usual. The . . state board paid no attention to the no- / , tice. The night before the robbery the . dispenser, the chief of police and an- F i other man were in the dispensary till ; midnight.

Thinking it was a Roman . candle, he held it in his hand until it exploded and his hand was torn to 1 pieces by the explosion. Amputation was necessary and Dr. S. S. Linder peri formed the operation. The Negro is doing very well, but he is minus his ! right hand as a result of his Xmas fun. We understand some boys gave it to him to shoot.

The Negro Petty, who got shot, took leg , bail. The last heard of him he was lost ? I in the woods in another part of the \ L county.
