Mr. Elliott Savage, of Walterboro, is spending a few days with Mr. Hen derson. Master Carl Weimer and sister, Claire, returned to their home in Florida Saturday. Ehrhardt will have a carnival week this week. Don't know what enjoyment they will furnish our citizens; not any program for the occasion. Kearse and Ehrhardt base ball teams crossed bats on the Ehrhardt diamond last week. The score was i eleven to seventeen in favor of the home team. The railroad company is putting in the side track at last. Will not be able to get goods to the depot until about the middle of the week. Have heard of one or two new x bales of cotton coming to town next week if the weather remains fair for them to finish picking it out of their fields. Mr. I. D. Copeland killed a rattler last week in his lot, five rattles and a > button. Some say was a six-yearold, but am not acquainted with rattlesnakes enough to know about them. Last vear about eight small ------- rattlers were killed in town. Mrs. Emma Walker, of St. Matthews, is spending some time with J. B. Ramsey. Mr. J. W. Priester was running his mowing machine and by some means his bird dog came in contact with the blade and cut one of the dog's legs off. Mr. Priester killed the dog to get him out of misery.

The Govan high school will open for another session on the 15th of September. Mr. T. C. Smoak, being re-elected, will teach again, with Miss Lucille Curry as assistant. We learn that wedding bells will ring in the near future again. Mr. Holland Kennedy has just returned from a trip out in the States of Alabama, and Georgia, where he has two sons engaged in the railroad service. He reports a good time. To-morrow being election day, sup? pose the candidates are beginning to feel a little "shaky".

The average man is not sufficiently informed on national questions to judiciously cast their votes for a representative in congress. I am afraid that our voters cannot appreciate the talent and logic of Mr. Garris, the man who realizes the need of Demo^ cratic influence in congress perhaps more than any man in our great ? commonwealth. There is where the nucleus of power lies, and it is from 1 that source we derive such poor administration. A Little Child Shall Lead Them.

We have heard of all kinds o freaks in the animal and vegetable kingdomk, such as twin potatoes an< peaches, four legged chickens an* even of one cow the mother of tw< calves. But never before have w< heard'of such a freak as that whicl materialized at the stables of Mr Joes Battle, when one of his cow gave birth to three calves. The cow is a large dun colored cov of common stock. The calves wer< all born alive and were nearly a large as an ordinary calf. Two o them are living and doing well. This extraordinary freak has beei the cause of a great deal of discus sion and inspection to-day, in fac Mr. Battle's stables have the appear ance of a side show or some othe: popular attraction, so large hav< been the crowds that have wende< their way to them.?Moultrie, (Ga.; Observer. the Lord, we expected a life of grea usefulness, but God in his infinit wisdom saw otherwise.

This drawini power of Christ, how great it is Who can resist it? May the intense sufferings, horn so sweetly and patiently by this dea child, who knew no sin, be the mean of bringing many to Christ. She was taken very ill in the be ginning, typhoid in its most aggra vated form. Several doctors wer called in to see if they could reliev her, but the case was hopeless. She clung to her "dad" as sh lovingly called him td the last, say ing "Mamma, the doctors haven* mp hut I'll trust in 'dad,' h livxpvvt ? ? ? will help me bye and bye."

In that month they aggregated $26,847, nd 000; in that month immediately preceding $13,183,000; in July, 1909, $15,830,900 and in January 1908, "J1 $29,582,000. IXK rooonn fvVlV thf?

COLLECTORS TO BE REMOVED, Indications that Taft is Allowin Roosevelt Appointees to "Resign." Washington, August 26.?Are tt men appointed collectors of interns revenue by former President Roos< velt to be gradually but effectivel removed from the service? Commissioner Cabell, of the intei nal revenue bureau, left Washingto something like a year ago on mysterious mission, and to those wb asked the purpose of his trip throug the West he replied that it was i the interest of his bureau, and sole) for "official business." This stab ment, coupled with information r< ceived from an authoritative sourc to-day, makes it almost certain th* the Rooseveld appointees to the inte nal revenue service are to be allowe to "resign." In fact, several ha\ already severed their connection wit the government. It was stated here to-day thj slowly but surely, every collector a] pointed by Mr. Roosevelt would t invited to send in their resignatior during the next year. There do< not appear to be any desire to ca for these resignations hurriedly, i that would impair the revenue se vice, and at the same time caus comment and suspicion and brie strong congressional influence 1 bear in behalf of those who are 1 be asked to resign. On the oth< hand, the plan appears to be to pr< ceed cautiously and with deliber; tion. First, a man in Nebraska wi be called upon, possibly because < "innnmnatan^ " tn spnii in his resii lUWUi^/wvuvv) w , nation to Commissioner Cabell, the one from Georgia will be called, the New York, and Florida, West Vi ginia and New Jersey. Resignatioi will not be asked from any two nea by States at the same time; thi suspicion as to the real motive I supplying new men will not 1 caused. That this plan is on foot is fu ther evidenced by that fact that Cor missioner Cabell's Western trip wi not only bring him into touch wil the present collectors, but will ah give him the opportunity of selectir new material. The following are some of the cc lectors in the South: Joseph E. Le Jacksonville, Fla.; H. S. Jackso Atlanta, who recently succeeded J A. Rucker, colored; Wheeler Marti and George H. Brown, North Car lina; William A. Dunlap, Tennessee Marion K. Lowry and Louis P. Sue mers, Virginia; Mic&k J. Jenkir South Carolina. Boy Dies of Blow With Bucket. Fort Mill, August 26.?A coroner jury held an inquest in Fort Mill la night over the body of Aubrey Cul the 14-year-old son of W. M.

If Mrs. Shaw will induce the S(j able-bodied men of this country to )n amend our tariff law so as to insure a er lower cost of those family necessities, 2(j she will have rendered a greater scrip vice to our people and at the same time solve the phase of the matrimose nial problem which concerns her 3e most. While anything that Mrs. , n Shaw might say on this or any other le matter that affects the welfare and happiness of humanity it not of speat cial moment, she nevertheless raises ,y a question which has for a long time held the attention of those who think of, and grieve over, our economic iv and social conditions. It is certain tnac a comyui?ui,y umijn riage system is one of the impossi- , .-j' , ' bles, and that another of Mrs. Shaw's Id r; hobbles is without merit to commend it to the consideration of intelligent people. The truth is, the inclination 3.8 is ample on the part of the younger r~ set, but business discretion cries halt fv "v 3 in too many instances. The marriageable young man worth while is as unwilling to double his presence, as M it were, on an income which is only sufficient to suport about one and a half persons instead of two. His income may be reasonable, but the nec1(1 essary outgo is abnormal,'outrageous and to venture in here would incur /flor?TMvatirm? nf himself and family, a ie risk which his pride resents. Hence rs he waits until he can survive our l(* system of highway robbery, and by l? that time it is frequently too late to ly think about marriage. lP The solution of this problem lies et not with State legislatures, but is tg largely "within the province of the is United States congress, which was . v ik pledged last year to give its subjects in relief, but didn't.?Montgomery Advertiser.
