In fact, canidates for county offices are slow in making their wishes known. So far we have only heard of one announced candidate for the legislature, and only a few w for the other offices. ? A competitive examination for a naval cadetship at Annapolis was held at Blackville last Saturday, by order of Congressman W. J. Talbert. Nine young men, fmm different narts of the second district. V competed for the appointment. Thewin> v ner has not been announced as vet. ?^^'2/ - * We would be glad if every Democratic t clob in the county would send us a report of its meeting to be held on the last Sat nrday in this month to re-organize. The secretary will please send us the number L of members enrolled, the names of the officers elected and delegates to the county y ' convention. We find that while there is no property r recorded in the name of Mr. T. J. Rent/., who is a member of the board of county commissioners, he is a free holder, as he has a fee simple interest in some real estate which has never been divided. Consequently this makes him eligible as a s' member of the board, f The cotton mill men of South Carolina and Georgia are preparing to organize a h mutual fire insurance association, for the v purpose of insuring all cotton mill property in these two States. A preliminary meeting was held in Augusta last week, and it is stated that the work of organ izT ing is well under way. A private letter from a friend at Olar says that Mr. J. U. Jackson, of Augusta, was in that town Weduesday of last week, and made the statement that in a few days work will begin in earnest on the Seaboard Air Line from Augusta to Charleston. He also says a gentleman of that town is the happy father of a 13i-poundbaby boy. Remember the meeting of the monument association to be held in the court house here next Wednesday, the ICth, at twelve o'clock. The ladies' auxiliary committee met last week and organized, and will report to the association at this meeting. Col. Robert Aldrich, of Barnwell, and Hon. C. W. Garris will deliver f addresses. Every oue is invited to be nrMAnt. and thft nresenee of the ladies is - especially desired. The contention over who was supervisor of registration was settled last Monday by Mr. Smoak withdrawing. Both Mr. Rowell and Mr. Smoak appeared to serve with the board, and Mr. Rowell showed a ietter from the attorney general authorizing him to hold on, as his com7 mission was for two years. Mr. Smoak f expressed himself as not being very anxious for the place, and rather than have any contention over the matter, he witli' drew his claim. So the incident is closed. - C. H. Holman, a colored subscriber of * ours at Govan, writes us the following news: The colored school closed last week, which was in charge of Sallie Wroton. The closing exercises were held last Thursday and Friday, and were largch ly attended by both white and colored, ' and the children acted their parts in a manner to reflect credit on themselves and their teacher. Henry Ransom and Willie 1 Wroton got into a difficult}', and Wroton > . cut Ransom with a knife, making two woutitts, one in tnc neau ana one m mc side. A woman was tlie cause of the v trouble, which occurred on Mr. J. B. Zorn's plantation. The State Democratic executive committee met in Columbia last Thursday night. The date for holding the State convention was fixed at May 21st. The =? - county clubs are to meet the last Saturday in this month to re-organize, and the county conventions meet the first Monday in May, the 5tli. An effort was made to ^ "hold the State convention in Charleston, V but it failed for some unaccountable reason. Cole L. Blease offered a resolution asking that the convention add a new section to the oath of candidates, but, at the suggestion of other members of the committee, he withdrew it. Senator Till% man was present at the meeting, but the session was a very quiet one. w . * % 9 8 Br. K93l SESS ng AH 3?Si frs sFS$ ebb HH JH : The oats crop looks promising.

The threatened strike of the cotton mill operatives of the Kiug Mill in Augusta, took plac e last Monday, and it is said that NK) operatives went out. It is stated that the other cotton mills near Augusta will now institute a lock out. Protracted services will be held at the Methodist church all of next week, commencing Monday. The pastor, Rev. M. W. Hook, will be assisted by Rev. W. A. Pitts, who is in charge of the Bowman circuit. There will be two services each day: one in the morning and one at night.

Whitney and other wealthy Northern gentlemen, in order to get them financially interested in his school here, it being his idea to work up au industrial school. He was well received, and thinks it highly probable that he will interest these gentlemen to the extent of contributing sufficient funds to buy a farm near town and erect the necessary buildings.

She was the daughter of Jacob and Nancy Chassereau, and when about grown was happily married to Mr. E. F. Kinard. She was the mother of nine children, of which eight are living: three daughters and five sons, all grown. Iler parents were members of the Baptist church, and she joined the same church about thirty-two years ago, where her membership remained all her life. Mrs. Kinard was a good woman, a kind mother, a loving and devoted wife. She loved her church anil pastor, and always attended unless providentially hindered. About four years ago her health began to fail. The disease was heart trouble, which took her away on the 20th day of January, 1002. On the day following she was buried at St. John's Baptist church. It is hard to give her up, but God's ways are not man's ways, neither His thoughts are our thoughts, so we bow in humble submission to His will, knowing that He loeth all things for the best, knowing Jiat our loss is her eternal gain. She only juffered about fifteen minutes before God called her home. E. V. S. Weddings in Appomattox.

Peter Smith, who used to pray the amen corner oiT the boards in a little country church in Beaufort county, sat in the prisoner's box at the Federal Court yesterday and stammered forth the story of a grafter's wiles. The Rev. Peter came to town not long ago to do conference stunts, but he foun.l it more pleasant to watch the merry-go-round, which did business up King street. While Rev. I Peter was watchinsr the chariots whiz/. and whirr a grafter tapped him on the arm. "Say, pal," remarked the grafter, "I've got my foot on a purse. As you are next you'll get half." It almost tickled Peter to death, as he explained to the court, and when the grafter picked up the pocketbook he counted $11. "Have you got any change?" asked the grafter. Peter fished out $5, which he was holding as a conference fund. "All | right," said the smart greezer, "you give me that and you take the pocketbook and the eleven bucks." For the second time within the space of two minutes the Rev. Peter was almost tickled to death. He hurried down King street,bought a preac her's coat and handed the clerk the money. The latter looked j at it, sawr that the figure "10" from an old J Confederate note has been pasted on a one-dollar bill and the Rev. Peter was pinched. He told his story yesterday in such an honest, straightforward way that Judge Simonton instructed the jury to re- I turn a verdict of not guilty. That also I tickled the Rev. Peter nearly to death, and he showed it as he left the room.?News and Courier, Thursday, April 3. Mileage Books. Seaboard Air Line mileage books save you money in travelling.

The newest shirt-waists, known as the '*Gibson,"are characterized by broad plaits at the shoulders, generally extending over the sleeves, thereby accentuating the broad-shouldered effect which is so fashionable in other garments. The May Delineator fully describes the making of these waists, and the accompanying illustrations, depicting the various steps in their construction, will be invaluable to the amateur dressmaker. Embroidery of various kinds has been much in vogue recently for embellishing silk and wool gowns and has greatly enehanced their beauty and their value as well. The new .lecoration, called faggoting, is treated in \ special articles in this number, and the illustrations show many variations of this >titch and their application. Raphael, "the Divine." We, as people, are very ignorant of the = chief treasures of the art world and of _ . , their creators. This is not due to any lack of love for the beautiful and poetical ^ :>r, as a rule, to a want of resources whereby to regale our appetites for knowledge, For we abound in printing presses,books, * md scientific magazines, but?shall I sav it??it is a thoughtless indifference that ive possess unmeaningly and shake off )nly when faced by the necessity of hay- 4 ng such knowledge. Recently it dawn J 3d upon me to devote a day's study to Rap- ' liael's work and his life. My "wonder *rew" as I read page after page of this M famous artist, who won with his magic arush the epithet of "divine." Centuries have passed, but Ids memory and work tower above the clouds of time, ind now in the progressive 20th century we can look back and view his master strokes uudimmcd and with as much adniratiou as did the monks of the ICth 3entury. His conception of beauty, perfection of outlining, and delicate shading vere as streams of talent coursing through lis soul uutil they met in grand confllu3nce and were given out in a glory of jeauty to an admiring world. He lived between the years 1483 and 1520, making dm only thirty-seven. April, the "child :>f spring," was a conspicuous month in ais life, marking his birth and death. Nature to an artist and poet is a book from which, lie reads the latent truths of jod's handiwork; thus we can readily see how Raphael painted with inspired seal when the blossoms of sunny Italy exhaled their fragrance and when the twit- / iing of the birds and coquetry of the but- \ terflies lent him their stimulating influence. He was given to the habit of walking secluded routes, of communing alone with nature, musing and creating in his mind embryo pictures that grew into = masterpieces under his touch. One day on one of his walks he saw a peasant wo- ^ man sitting 011 her doorstep. He saw the beautiful, peaceful expression of her eyes, the exquisite chiseling of her features. "There is what I waut for my Delia Scdia Madonna." He asked her to visit his studio to be painted, but being unlettered she would not comply. He then hastened to a grocer and procured a cask head and roughly sketched the face from me- I mory. The names of some of his paint- | ings, most famous are: "Sistine Madou- . na" (which is his masterpiece and gave him fame, it was bought by Augustus 3rd of Saxony and hangs now in Dresden gallery) Madonna Delia Sedia, Madonna of the Torches (hangs in national gallery iu London), Transfiguration, Coronation and Marriage of the Virgin, (hangs in Milan gallery) Entombment at Rome, and La Belle Jardiniere. Raphael's body lies in Rome, in a handsome pantheon near an altar he endowed with a annual charity. M. 0. L, G.
