He was brought down town and a physician inil mediately summoned, but it was too late 1 to save his life aud he died about twelve o'clock Saturday. The physician says heart disease was the immediate cause of his death, but that he was also affected with serious kidney trouble. The body was taken in charge by the town authorities who purchased a coffin and buried the body in the cemetery Sunday morning. The man was a stranger in town, having only arrived here Friday morning. He was employed the same night at the cotton mills, as the repairs to the mill building employed a night force. At ^ twelve o'clock lie complained of being sick aud unable to work longer and left, i He was next found on the Fitting School a campus almost unconscious/ir in such bad | condition that he could not give any inI formation about himself. Nobody knew him or where he came from, ami the only R clue to his identity was a pay slip from R the Palmetto cotton mills iu Columbia hearing the name of "FelixBartholomew."

The Citadel, Charleston, S. C.,Oct. 12^?Once again the cadets having gotten down to hard work and realize that for nine long months pleasure is to receive a second consideration. It did not take the upper classmen long to get back in the old "ruts;" but to the recruits, who have been accustomed to no restraints, it has been indeed a hard task. From "reveille" to "taps"?15J hours?they must be at work, and have only one and a half hours for recreation. They must be up at the lirst sounds of "reveille" and dress, put up beds and be in ranks before the drum ceases beating?eight minutes. Most of the recruits entered the fourth class, and of those who tried for third, only recruits Dial, of Laurens, and Hartzog, of Bamberg, were successful. This fact goes on to prove how thorough our course is. Every man, who desires to enter the academy, must stand a written examination and must make a pass to enter. Certificates are taken from no school or college and a man must be well fitted to enter. Much interest it being manifested in athletics, and we hope to have fine sport during the year. Tennis, basket-ball, baseball, and running are the most popular amusements. We hope, if reinstated by the State Athletic Association, to put forth a fine base-ball team. It has always been a source of much regret to the cadets that we are not allowed to play foot-ball, as we have much tine material ana couiu organize a tine team. Doubtless, however, it would conflict with the strict military discipline of the school and, for this reasou, possibly it is best as it is. At a receut meeting of the old men, it was decided to abolish the worst forms of hazing, and, now uuless a "rat" is exceedingly "gaulv," he may get along without any bodily injuries. The literary societies held their first meetings last night, and both were well attended. The Calliopean, founded in 1843, has sent fourth many famous men and, in order to hold up her reputation, is very careful in selecting her members. Only those who have been so fortunate as to receive an invitation can join. The Y. M. C. A. holds its meetings regularly, and is well attended. The editors of the "Annual" held their regular weekly meeting last Thursday in "number seven"?famous for ink?bottle mysteries, pugilistic contests and rebellions?and transacted much important business. Recruits Smith A., Watkius and Dick were elected b}- their class-mates to represent the class of '00 (?) on the staff of the "Annual". We have fine material in school, and will publish a book which we hope will at least give the "outside" world au idea of how we live. There is much talk already of the Christmas hop, and many of the recruits, in order to be allowed to be present, have begun taking lessons under the dancing master. C.

"Every time I tell this story," a bright society matron remarked, "somebody accuses me of making it up, but it is a true story nevertheless. "Up in the Virginia mountains David and I took a long walk to explore the wild country road near our hotel. Away up on the rough mountain side was a little cabin, and as I have a most fervent human Interest in the home life of all peoples remote from cities I proposed that we visit the cab in, with the wayfarers' usual pretext, to ask for a drink of water. In the one room of the small house were the usual furnishings, a few chairs, many dogs lying about, guns on the wall, a high bed in each corner and a homely table spread with homely crockery in the center of the household picture. A plain little woman, worn and aged, but very neat in calico frock and gingham apron, met us at the door and asked us in, while one of the rough boys lounging on the porch was dispatched to the spring for fresh water. "Instead of the usual mountaineer s open fireplace, with iron crane and kettles, was a surprising arrangement of a cooking stove mounted on a kitchen table. My glance reverted to this curious sight so often that our mountain hostess seemed constrained to explain. " 'You uns ain't used to seeln' cook stoves fixed up that way, I reckon,' she said apologetically. Tap, he got the cook stove down in town way las' Maj\ and he didn' think 'bout the stovepipe, and he d:ldil' git 'nuff to reach up to that there hole in the chimbly, so we uns jes' h'isted the cook stove up on that there table til! he gits time to go to town and git some more stovepipe. 'Tain't handy to climb up on a cheer to cook, and I wish to the land pap'd hurry hisself and git to town arter that there stovepipe. It'd be a heap handier to hev that there cook stove down on the groun'.' "Of course 'we uns' agreed with the good woman that her complaint was well based, but we praised her cleverness and originality in utilizing the kitchen table. Probably not one woman in 10.000,000 would have ever suggested that way out of the domestic difficulty."?Detroit Free Press. WAVES OF WATER. For over 1.2C0 miles the Nile does not receive a single tributary stream. The Jordan is the crookedest rivor known, winding 213 miles in a distance of GO. The Potomac river is only 500 miles long and in its lower course is rath?r an estuary than a stream. The highest of all navigable rivers is the Tsangpo, which flows for nearly I,000 miles at an elevation of from II,000 to 14,000 feet. The Indus, the second sacred river of India, is 1,700 miles long. Its waters have always been considered almost as holy as those of the Ganges. Three rivers as big as the Rhine would just equal in volume the Ganges, three Ganges the Mississippi and two Mississippis the Amazon. When free from ice, the Yukon river 13 navigable for large steamers 1,905 miles, a distance more than twice as great as that from Chicago to New Orleans. Tcdllng the Sermon.

C., October 11, 1902. A Wnnk Stomach Indigestion Is often caused by overeating. An eminent authority savs the harm done thu9 exceeds that from the excessive use of alcohol. Eat all the good food you want but don't overload the stomach. A weak stomach may refuse to digest what you eat, Then you need a good digestant like Kodol, which digests your food without the stomach's aid. This rest and the wholesome tonics Kodol contains soon restore health. Dieting unnecessary. Kodol quickly relieves the feeling of fulness and bloating from which some people suffer after meals, Absolutely cures indigestion. Kodol Nature's Tonic. Prepared only by E. O.
