To the Voters of Kershaw.
'We, the voters of West Wateree, re
spectfully reqnest ycu to join with us
in urging ex-Sheriff R. It. Williams to
again enter the race for Sheriff in the
next election He certainly made a
first-class officer. We have never heard
of any complaint against bis manage
ment of the office or its duties, an<? we
do not think that he was defeated for
the office in the last election, as the
tabulated returns of the second prima
ry proves, therefore we think it our
duty to call upon him to. enter the
race, believing that with a fair field
and a fair count, he will be our next
HherifT, which he certainly deserves. to
be. Respectfully,
Voters of Went Wateree.
For something strictly stylish
and up-to-dato in millinery, go
to Iiirsch Bros. & Co.

CHINESE STORY TELLERS.
A mi the TarM Tb?y Spia fw ?
OtadUeratloa.
On a pleasant day one cannot go
far in Poking without meeting a
professional story teller standing,
with a crowd of listeners about liim,
under a big umbrella by the road
side, telling stories in a loud, ear
nest toco. The characters iu the tales
are often "the big priest'* and "the
littio priest" ? a boy whom his par
cuts have consecrated to the servico
of the temple. The following is a
typical story in which they appear.
Once upon a time? so tho story
goes ? an old priest said to his young
companion: "I am going away, lit
tie priest, and 1 leave tho temple in
your charge. No matter who comes,
don't lend them anything."
"All right, sir. I'll obey your
words. "
Not long after tho old man left
an old woman came to worship.
She prostrated hv.self beforo the
idols aud prayed <nd prayod until it
rained. Then she said to the boy:
"Your master knows mo well, for 1
come often to worship. Will you
pleaso lend me his umbrella!"
"No," was tho prompt reply, "1
cannot lend anybody anything."
8o tho old lady went home in the
rain, and sho was very angry.
Upon the master's return the
faithful boy related his experience,
but instead of praise he received
stern reproof:
"Oh, you stupid boyl Do you
know no better than that f Why,
you have driven away ono of my
best worshiporsl You will spoil my
business. You should always be
polite. You should say: 'Won't you
please step in and have a chair I 1
"will steop you fresh tea and bring
you little cukes. Make yourself as
comfortablo as possible, but 1 am
very sorry to say my master was
out in a storm ono day and it blew
and it blew and it took the skin
right off of his umbrella and strewed
the bones all around, and so we
have none. ' Bay that, and she could
not bo angry."
"All right, air. I'll say It noxt
time."
Not long after this the master
went away again, and there came a
man who said : "Little priest, I have
been high up on tho mountains and
gathored a big load of kindling wood.
Tt is too heavy. 1 cannot got it
home. Will you pleaso let mo take
your master's horse*"
"Come in, sir," bmju *he little
man, "and make '/eursolf comfort
able. 1 will bring yoii littio caked
and steep you fresh tea, luit 1 am
very sorry to say tho old liorso was
out in a storm and it IJcw and it
blew and it took the skin right ol!
and blow tho bones away, and wo
haven't any I"
The man gazed in aatouLLment
u^on the boy and turned away in
disgust.
When tho master returnod, the
boy related all that had happened
and received a round scolding: "Oh,
you small idiot. You f,row worse and
worse. L>on!t tell the same story
every timo. Have some sense
make your story tit. You should
have said, '1 am very sorry to say,
the oi l horso was out in tho field
and tumbled in a bole and sprained
his leg and went lame, and wo turn
ed him out to grabs and wo haven't
any,' "
"All right, sir. 1 will say it the
next time."
Again the boy was left in charge,
aud there came a man who said:
"Your master is my dear old friend.
I would like to sue him."
"Coino iu, sir; take a seat, sir. I
will bring you new cakes and stoep
you fresh tew. Please bo as com
fortablo as possible, sir. 1 nm very
sorry to say my master was out iu
the field and stumbled in a holo and
went lame, and wo havo turned him
out to grass, and wo haven't any I"
Bo tho story runs on, ns long as
the story teller pleases, until it i?
time to take a collect ion. ? Clara M.
