Mr. Editor: The beauiiful little sketch
of Capt. Thomas M. Lylea and his

THE KULING PASSION*.
The following pathetic slory, told by
an exchange, will be appreciated by
; the local wheel women:
Within a darkened room and still.
A battered maiden slept;
Her friends who gathered from afar,
Around her sighel and - ept.
Delirious, her spirit told
Of crash and wreck and fire,
Of smash and chtter, din and jar,
Of death and carnage dire.
Anon sweet consciousness returned,
And these first words she spoke
Unto the throng of anxious friend",
"Say, did my wheel got broke?"

marriage was a quiet home affair.
There were n) atteudants. The bride

She and her mother "spent some time

failed to improve, and notwithstanding
all that medical skill and loving hands
could do he gradually grew wotse

on this occa-ion. They were not}
disappointed. He begin by defining
money as something more than a
mere medium of < xchmge. A man's
money represents his labor, skill, intelligence,
silr-doi-iil and fracrillcv,
and it was, therefore, a p.?rt of his
persoiia'ity. Thvs leaun r elaborated

How helpless the inventor, for instance,
was without money to put his

He ran rapidly over the marvellous

would have been impossible without

le&3f, of the community are interested
on the "road'' question; and I think
the suggestion offered by one of your
correspondents to have a mass meeting
in August a good one. To make the
call effective, it should be authorized
by the signatures of several responsi:.u
?;,i,onp Diip ontornrifilncr vAnn.cr
VIUX<gU5# VU4 / o I
mayor is the proper person to formulate
the call. Then it would carry
official as well as individual weight.
Although the discussion of methods ,
belongs properly to the propective
meeting-, it will not be inappropriate ]
here to reler to some of my owu ideas |
as to how the work should be d-jirr.v (
These may put others to thinking and
suggesting, and in the muhip'.'chy ofcounsel
the best plan will be evolved. ;
In the first place, a capable man ,
should be selected to "lay out" new ,
road beds in very many places where : j
the grade is too great, where cutting ,
and filling wou'd be too heavy. In
nearly all such places by making a
detour to rlgbt or left a suitable grade
could be found, increasing the dis- J
tance, generally, very little. If one
will notice some of the otherwise ex- *
cellent work of the chain gang be will j
seo that in this reapecc ii is very faulty. (
This "lajing out" would not require
the services of an engineer, bnt it
would demand a lot of good "horse
sense," Next, the worst places should '
be improved first; these decide the load
and do all the damage.
Thirdly, we have pcen from last
winter's experience that to pile up red '
clay in any shape nnly makes bad mat- .
ters worse, ?vn rendering a road in 3
wet we?fb r .upa^sable. I am afraid ;
the only tiling to do where the road '
is of this characier is to macadatnizj? ,
a pretty expensive busiuess.
Lastly, but very important, the .
blighting effects of politics should be J
kept ont of the whole matter if possi- *
ble, for like the red clav it is verv apt
lo mane a "mess." auis remain.
intended in a general tense and not a*

Now, Mr. Editor, as what is every
one's business is nobody's but your?,
it devolves on you to hustle our mayor
and gee him to hus.le four or five
others to sign a call for a mass meeting
as soon as the crops are laid by; and
bo sure to have the meeting when
there 1? a good season in the ground

CATARRH CANNOT BE CURED

Catarrh is a blood or constitutional
disease, and in order to cure it
you must take internal temsdies.
Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
and a;ts directly on the blood

Cure is not a quack mcdicine. It was
prescribed by one of the be>t physicians
in jhis c nntry for years, ana is a
reguiar prescription. It is composed
uf the be't tonics known, combined
with the best blood purifiers, acting
directly on the mucous enrfaccs. The

what produces such wonderful results

Tbe stifling heat of the past ten days

now is quite warm here, and for lack
of rain the dust is extremely annoying.
On the Qrst ^looaay ujuiyueiegates
from Camp Riun were sent to
Winnsboro to take part in the election
of a coloml for the regiment which
has been formed by the union of the
several Confederate camps-in Fairfield
County. The Camp Rion delegates
were especially instructed to cast their
ballots for none other than Maj. Thos.
W. Woodward. It is with pleasure
that his election as colonel is annnnnrfiri;
an office which Col. Wood- '
ward is competent in every way to fill
with that peculiar dignity and characteristic
ability to command. W. G.
Pliauant, chairman of the board of
delegates lrom Ridgeway, was elected
major. One delegate, upon being ['
questioned as to the election of chaplain,
said, "Well, sir. we did not for a
moment think of him." If this be
true it is not a little stran?e that a body
of men such a-; was met togr ther in i
Winnsb^ro ."hou'd for a moment over- i

The second nines of Winnsboro and !

out the visiting team.
The game began with little interest

it wouid take long bits, stolen bases
and good playing all around for it to
win thp fi at cramp fif fhp SPflCO'l.
While the vVinnrboro boys crowned
the game wiib their Jong hit*, the
home team show- <5 their superiority in
the fi Id.
Tbe pla\8 weli worthy of nr.e>ui ?n
were Ctaig's beautiful catch in tight
field; J. Cooper's ion? run and
"swipe" in the left field; W. Ki.kpatrick'e
catch in thort stop; M. Quattlebaum'd
long hit to centre field, and
Roche's long bit to left field.
If there was nothing elre in the
whole game at all praiieworthy, the
home bo) s should feel complimented
for tbe vr.-iy in which they held up the
reputation oHheir former teams.
Kitkpatrick's first appearance in the
box was gr&at. The way in which he
