C., on the 20th, insL, to attend i as a delegate the anneal convea-i tkmof the Inter-State Federa tion of the North and Houth Car olina Y. M. C. A, Mr. Weeks would like to have the names of other Y. M. C. A*s. in this vicinity who might wish to attend this convention, which promises to be one of the most intereetrag in the history of the organisation. Prlee of Subscription. The following timely extract from the State bears us out in our position taken last week. It speaks for itself, and requires no comment: When cotton was seeing for five and six cents a > pound the publishers of many - weekly papers reduced the price to one dollar a year. They pro bably now realise the unwisdom of that course, when everything | that goes to make a newspaper | and to keep the makers of news papers alive has advanced in | ~ price. Any weekly paper worth reading is worth $2 a year, ac cording to present standards. ? Serious Accident. We certainly regret to have to chronicle a serious accident to Mr Charlie Potter, a guest of Mr. Allen Deas. On last Saturday as Mr. Potter was putting up hi* horses, a mule belonging to Mr. Deas backed out of the stall and kicked him on the bead. Our friend is seriously injured, but ?his many friends here hope for his speedy recovery. The moral to this accident, may not be eith er appropriate or in good taste under the circumstances, but we can*t resist the temptation to quote the advice of one who had been there* "don't fool with the business end of a mule.*' Leffdl VottoM. Particular attention is called to the large number of (his class of notices published in this issue of The People. Oar success in this dais of advertising is re markable so far, but we propose] to make room for them in a prominent place in onr paper, ?Ten If we have to issue another war supplement to accommodate them; so don't be afraid to send them in, my friends. We don't discriminate in oar ohoice of this class of ads. A citation will be as gratefully accepted as an election notioe far dispenser to ooroner, two of the higheet offl oers in the gift of some people.

On February 4th, at the resi dence of Rev. J. W. Atkinson, and by him, Mr. C. Alonzo Bow en was happily united in mar riage to Miss Esther Percival, of Richland county. Friend 'Lon is a well known West Watereen, and is the son of that genial gon Me man, Judge O. P. Bo wen. 'Lon is a subscriber to "The People," and after we have met Mrs. Bowen, we think that she will see to it that he so contin ues. It is not our good looks that makes us a favorite with the ladies, but our winning ways. On the night of February f2th, at tbe residence of Mr. R. Lutta, on Laurens street, by the He v.

Art for (he White Knight, the best ?moke on tbe market. For sale by the Camden Drug Company. Sample Copies. With this Issue we discontinue the praottc* of sending sample copies of "The People" to those whom we know have already received them. Those who like the papers they have read will come In and subscribe, or send In their subscription, while those who do not like It after receiving three copies of it will not. This, we think, is a olear proposition, so to those of our friends who have been getting these sample copies, and have not yet subscribed, we My : "Either call at the office, or send In your names." It Is our purpose, as we have already said, to make "The People1' a better paper each week of Ita existence, and, ao far, we think we have succeeded. It has taken time, money and a lot of hard work to bring the paper to Its present state, and we hope the people will appreciate the fact In a substantial manner. Send in your subscriptions. Cruelty to Animals. What has become of the soci ety for the preventi6n of cruelty to animals? It strikes us that some society of this character existed here at one time, and that it was a power for good. This inquiry is called out by the fact that several instances of oruelty to animals have been called to our attention. For cru elty to a dumb urute there is no excuse, and as there is a law to punish the offender, and an of floer who is not afraid to inflict tbe penalty for the offence, ev ery good citizen should report any case that comes under their observation.

Lyles, one of our old | citizens, but now of Chester, came down last week to see his sister, Mrs. S. L. Hughes, who | we regret to say, is still quite ill.

Mr. John McKissick, repre senting Claussen Co., of Charleston, radiated our office for a few minutes on Tuesday. John didn't subscribe, but left us very much encouraged in the hope that in the near future, "The People" will wend its way to the home of our friend in beautiful Greenwood. Mr. Newman ?<asfcr, of Atlan ta, Deputy Supreme Steward of the Fraternal Union of Amer ica, visited our office last week. Mr. Laser is a clever gen tleman, and a fine fraternal in surance solicitor. The P. U. of A. is ono of the strongest among our insurance orders doing busi ness here. The many friends of Mr. F. L. Zemp, jr., (one of them espe cially) were delighted to have him to spend Sunday with them in that hustling little city of Lancaster. The editor has a shrewd suspicion that Frank has intentions somewhere, as we had about nineteen years ago. Every body may not know it, but we got our better half out of Lan caster, and the place has never been the same since. Mr. and Mrs. John H. Hen drix, of Oxbridge, Mass., who have been visiting relatives here, left us for their home on Mon day night. John is an old Ker shaw boy, but his wife, who is a northerner, and a very charm ing lady, was with us for the first time, and was much im pressed with all she saw while she was here. The most lasting impression, perhaps, was the large number and variety of col ored children, as she had never before Seen a small edition of the genus. g?Kr. W.

How Wo are Appreciated. ~ The following is the gist of an amusing conversation be tween two negroes just after the last issue of "The People- came^ out on the streets: (<.?ne them said to the other: o u , ' is *ou seed Captain pie??

' The latest reports from the wsr in the Best are not of such interest ss to require extended mention. The Jsps aire more than holding their own on the sea, having practically driven every Russian warship to oover. They have not, however, been so successful on land, the newspa per reports stating that in seve ral land engagements they have lost two thousand men. The lit tle Jape are hard lighters, and well offioered, full of enthusiasm, and will take a lot of beating be fore giving way. As was to be expected, the Russians have begun their sys tem of barbarity, which is char acteristic of the nation, especi ally In time of war. Harrowing reports are reaching ua every day of atrocities committed on non combatants. The civilised world will not put up with that kind of thing long, so look out for Uncle Sam. BEPUBLKU C0IYUT10I.
