the little fellow's legs in sucb a fix. His right r
leg was shot In too, both bones being severed y
about one and one-half Inches apart. Tbls j
was below the knee od the shin. At the same p
time his heel on his left foot was shot off into s
the ankle Joint. Some thought it best to have j
his legs amputated, but bis father would not <
agree to this a6 it looked as if 1L would be lm- ,,
possible for the little fellow to recover. After ?
months ot suffering he is out taking part in ,
the play, and one can hardly tell that be is ?
wounded. To-day the wound on tbe right V
leg is still running a little, and small bones
are working out every day.

the exception of the past year or two her
health had failed. She lived In this oornmun- tl
Ity for a number of years, and was a member t
of Turkey Creek church. Her remains were n
Interred in Mt. Bethel cemetery, Anderson

We noticed In a recent issue of the Press
and Banner a query regarding the sale of
snufl In this Stale. Tbls writer Is highly In
favor of legislation against tbe sale of snufl.
It Is more dlsgustlog than tbe use of cigarette f
habit or the use of tobacco In any way. It Is *
a filthy habit. There is an extract from tbe I
life of Franklin. "O you time-wasting, brain- *
starving young men, who can never be at
ease unless you have a cigar as a plug of tobacco
In your moutb, goon with your putting
and champing?go on with your filthy smoking,
and your still more filthy spitting, keeping
tbe cleanly house-wives in constant terror
for their nicely waxed floors, and their shining
carpeis--go on I say; but remember it
was not in this way that our little Ben became
tbe great Dr. Franklin.
Our iriend, the Honea Path Chronicle, says
a few more executive acta, such as imposing a
metropolitan police on Charleston, will put
conservatives and reformers as far apart as
ever. This one act Is enough to put tbe conservatives,
who want the old bar-room system
In vogue aualu. farther from the reformers
but do good citizen of Charleston nor anywhere
else, will fall out with theJGovernor for
having the law enforced. Let Charleston
abide by the law if she don't want to be under
such rule. Johnnie James.
Death of Lena Rojcern.
"A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved Is stilled,
A place is vacant In their home
Which never can be filled.
Qod in bis wisdom lias recalled,
The boon his love has given
And though the body slumbers here,
The soul is safe in heaven."
On the morninfl of the 7th Inst., the voice
of Lena was hushed and her spirit returned
to the Ood who gave it?there to bloom in its i
freshness and purity. We can picture death ^
to some, as the peace giving and heart stilling
friend, in its giving rest to the weary, comfort ,
to the sufferer, a clear, bright and beautious '
vision to their spirituality and mentality.
Whatsorrow can disturb her, what burden (
can oppress her, since death has rocked her
to sleep. i
Lena was the second daughter of J. B. and "
Fannie Rogers, In the .seventeenth year ol
her age. She bore her suflerlogs without a (
murmur. All that willing hands and kind
hearts could do for her was done, but the i
angel of death claimed her, and her spirit
was transplanted from earth to heaven, to
join her father and mother who had gone be- {
fore.
"Fairest of bouIs above |
Are those who suffer here."
Softly, softly, 'tis the grave yard '
And her parents' graves are here,
All her sufferings are over, (
Behold, their spirit meet at last.

ton.
We, the citizens ol Level Land, Abbeville
tounty, wish to express through your colums
ur disapproval of the proposed new road
iw. lor the following reasons:
We have always had good roads?a great
leal better than what we have seen worked
inder tbe hired overseers. If the road from
be Gordon place to Lone Cane church is a
ample of what tbe Commissioner wants
ilred overseers to do we don't want any in
iurs.
We are a law-abiding people, and if it Is law
re will submit. s
Let each section recommend its own man
hat we may get men who know how much
,ud what kind of work it requires to put a
oad in good fix, not simply six days to get
he money. We have no road In our section ?
rblcb would require six days to put it in first
lass order. Let us keep the old plan and we
rill have good roads in our section. They
sk us to pay two dollars or work six days.
Ve would like to know should all pay.
