Talk With Shakespeare. "But, Bill." says Shakespeare's friend, "I'll be bodkinized if I see the sense in that song Ophelia sings, nor why you put the song in there for her anyhow." "When you've been in the show game as long as I have," replies Shakespeare, still a bit excited over tlit. fipet nprfnrmanrp nf "Hnmlet." "you'll know that when the producer wants a song in a scene, the song goes in. BeEides, this girl that's play ing Ophelia was a hit in musical comedy, and the manager argued that the public expected to hear her sing /somewhere in the piece. Let's go over to the mermaid and buy drinks for the critics." Alphabetically Speaking. Among a recent batch of candidates for appointment to the police force of Washington was a big darky, evident ly of rural origin, who announced his readiness to stand examination. "Are you a native of this city?" he was asked. "No, suh. I ax:t from the first state In the Union?" "A New Yorker?" "No, suh. I am from Alabama!" "Alabama Is not the first state In the Union, as the saying goes," re sponded the examiner. "Alphabetically speaking it Is suh," said the candidate with conviction. "Alphabetically speaking."

HONOR OF MARY MUSGROVE i ~ To Defray Expenses of Transferring Records, Clinton Asks For Slices of Laurens, Spartanburg, Union and Newberry to Form Said County. Clinton.?A committee has been ap pointed from the chamber of com I merce to take charge of the proposed j establishment of a new county in this I part of the state, of which Clinton will be the county seat. The proposed ' county will include portions of Lau j rens, Spartanburg, Union and New ' berry. In general, the lines will run straight, except when a stream acts : as the boundary. The territory as it ; is drawn on the plan will embrace ! about 250 square miles of Laurens county, nearly 100 miles of Newberry, about 40 of Union and 30 of Spartan i burg. It will contain a population j of approximately 30,000 people and ! assessed property in the neighborhood of millions of dollars. The principal ' ?*? * /-in ? a? d.

It will contain the bat ! tie ground of Musgrove Mill where Mary Musgrove, heroine of the Revo j lution, witnessed from her perch in a tall tree, the struggle of the Pa triots against the British army and witnessed the defeat of the British and the glorious victory of the fore j fathers. As there is not a county in | the state named for a woman the peo I pie here wish that in honor of the ! noble women of the land, and espe cially in honor of the heroine of the women of the Revolution, tha,t the new county be named for Mary Mus grove and for the battle of Musgrove Mill; thus doubly commemorating the heroism of the noble women, and fur ther memoralizing the greatest his toric event in the area of the pro posed new county. May Withdraw Warrants. If the request which the prosecu tion made for a postponement of the preliminary in the case againBt Police ' Inspector Gilreath, Policeman Phil lips and Constable Gosnell is not granted, the warrants against these men will be temporarily withdrawn. The attorneys for the defenae? declare they-will oppose vigorously any post ponement of the preliminary. It is un derstood that the grounds upon which the prosecution will ask continuance is that it has not been able to secure witnesses. Just what the prosecution means by its statement that it has * v ? ?

Vaughan, who is said to claim that these officers assisted him in breaking jail here in May. Farmers Are Dissatisfied. Frequent complaints are heard of farm tenants in Hampton county be coming discouraged or dissatisfied and going off, leaving their crops ungath ered and their debts unsettled, and it has been suggested that this state of affairs may have some direct connec- 1 tion with the fact that the Mallard Lumber Company's store at Greely ville was broken into and robbed of a lot of goods recently. . * Lester Gunter Killed by Cousin. Lester Gunter, a young while man of the Steadman section of Lexington county, was shot and almost instantly killed in the public road by Levi Gun ter, his third cousin.

It is ' charged that th-'? enthusiasm of the corn club boys has been somewhat dampened by the indifference or want i of interest shown by-the parents. Mayor Grace in Washington.

Interested in Cotton Exhibits. i At the state fair a man evidently ' from another county, with notebook ! in his hand, was noticed carefully I studying the exhibit of cottons made by the state department of agricul ture. He seemed completely absorb ed in his work and made copious notes. He proved to be indeed a dis tinguished visitor, Alexander I.

THE BERKSHIRE ASSOCIATION Held Meeting in Columbia Recently When the Officers For the Ensu ing Year Were Named.

The dispensary was votea out of this tounty in 1905 under the provisions of the old state dispensary law. In 1907 there was another election on the. subject, in which the dispensary ? ? ~ ?

Then another flection was held in 1908 under spe cial provisions by the general assem bly, in view of the fact that the pre- j vious contest was nullified by agree- j ment on condition that there would 1 be no objection to a further election J the succeeding year. In this last contest the prohibition forces won. Banks Re-elected President. J. Arthur Banks of St. Matthews was re-elected president of the South Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical society at the annual meeting which i was held in the Richland county court, house. Ail old omcers or me society ; were re-elected. The election follow- j ed an effort to postpone the election | of officers to an adjourned ^neeting i which was votad down after much discussion. This proposition came be-. fore the society in the form of a reso lution offered by B. F. Taylor of Co lumbia, which asked for the election of a committee of five to consider changes in the constitution and by-' laws and rules which was to report to an adjourned meeting and that elec tion of officers be postponed. Executive Clemency For Two. David Byrd, Jr., and Jake Moore, two negroeB under sentence of death from Fairfield county on the charge of murder, were commuted to life impris onment by the governor.

The approaching show is expected to be an attractive one, and every effort will be put forth to make it profitable and attractive. 1,000 Militiamen Will Attend. Adgt. Gen. Moore was in Charleston recently conferring with Col. Julius E. Cogswell concerning the mobilizing nf the National Guard of South Caro tina here during Fleet Week. The Adjutant General told Col. Cogswell that he believed at least 1,000 militia tr? (Charleston. He said that tents necessary for the en- j campment of the troops w5uld be sent, freight prepaid. The National ; Guard escort to the thousand marines in line in the grand parade will be one of the big features o fthe week. To Have New Trolley Line. The farmers and property owners j of the McClellanvllle section have' taken up heartily the proposition of James Sottile for the extension of the seashore trolley line through Mount Pleasant to McClelanville, and not only have they given the rights of way, but they have agreed to furnish the ties for the construction of the railway. There is some trouble, how ever, in getting the rights at Mount Pleasant end which may tie up the venture of opening this rich truck section to a full development. MANY WILL ATTEND THE BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION ; 1 WHICH WILL CONVENE IN ABBEVILLE. Tfi MFFT PARI Y IN HPfiPMRFR This is the Largest Religious Body in South Carolina.?The Chief Source I of Their Strength is Their Homl Mission Work. Abbeville.?The Baptist state con- i mention, which will hold its annual session in Abbeville early in Decem ber is the largest religious body in 1 the state. The last United States census figures of religious denomina tions puts dow.n the leading denoml- j cations in South Carolina as follows: : 51.3 per cent of the total church mem- j bership, Baptist; Methodist, 37.4 per j cent; Presbyterians, 5.3 per cent; Lutherans, 1.9 per cent; Roman Cath- j olic, 1.5 per cent; Protestant Epinco- ' pal, 1.3 per cent; all others, 1.3 per cent. It will thus be seen that the Baptists constitute more than half the tot^l membership of all the churches. The convention will be at- i tended by about 400 delegates, about 65 per cent of whom will be laymen, j In this denomination preachers have no extra rights by virtue of their of fice, but are elected as delegates by churches just as laymen are. Probably the chief source of strength of the Baptists is their home mission work. In every state there is a mission board whose' only duty is to deveolp the denomination within the bounds of its own state. There Is also a mission board for the South and, one for the North. These two general home mission boards co-oper ate with these state boards, strength ening the weak by the help of the strong. For 42 years there has been a mis sion board among the Baptists in i South Carolina. More than half of the white Baptist churches now in the state have been helped by this board, and innumerable colored bod-, ies. There are today no less than 558 white Baptist churches in South Caro lina which were organized or fostered by this board. Negroes. Charged With Murder. St. Matthews.?Sheriff Rast brought! in Moten Cheeseboro and Joe Fedler, negroes, from Creston under peculiar i circumstances. Last May a negro by ; the name of Sam Robinson was found dead on the Atlantic Coast Line tracks ' and removed by passersby before the ! train arrived. He had evidently been! murdered and carried there with a j view of shifting responsibility. There was no clue at the time, but the sher iff has never lost hope and finally procured evidence which cast suspic ion upon these parties. , ^ 1 Referred to ' Local Camps. Charleston.?The matter of the In vitation of the South Carolina divis ion of the United Confederate "Veter ans to Charleston during fair week' has been referred to^ the local campe for action by the central committee in charge of the fleet exercises. City council has approved the idea, provid ed it met with the indorsement of the central committee, which has general supervision of the entertainment fea tures, and now the commitee thinks that it would be-well .to have the in vitation passed upon first by the local camps. Prepare Report on Dispensary. Columbia.?The investigation com mittee appointed by the legislature to | investigate the charges made by the governor against a former winding up commission of the state dispensary j met in the library at the state house, j Immediately after convening the com- j mittee went into executive session and | after several hours it was announced I that the committee would proceed at; once to prepare a report for the next I legislature. The committee is com posed of Howard B. Carlisle, chair man; John H. Clifton and G. W. Sul livan on the part of the senate, and J. J. Evans, secretary; W. L. Daniel and John P. Carey on the part of the house. Negro Escaped From Richland Jail. Ridgeland.?Willie Ford, a ginger cake colored negro Weighing about 160 pounds, escaped from the Ridgeland jail recently. This negro escaped some time ago from the chain gang camp at Offerman, Ga., where he was a life convict for the murder of a man and a woman with an axe. He hag been in this community for several days and was captured by Sheriff H. H. Porter and Town Marshall A. Q. Dunovant and w.as placed in the Ridgeland jail, from which he later escaped. ni a. n. J _ u >1J o.-x, r-iani diccucis nciu ourncrcntc, Columbia.?The initial steps looking to the organization of a strong and i active state Plant Breeders' associa-1 tion were taken at a conference hel?j ; in the state library at the state house, j The conference was attended by such ' men as D. R. Coker of Hartsville, who has done so much for cotton; A. W. Brabham of Olar, who is the origina tor of the widely known Brabham cowpea, and others. E. J. Watson, state commissioner of agriculture, i was called to the chair and presided over the conference. National Education Day. Columbia.?J. D. Eggleston, Jr., state superintendent of education of Virginia, has accepted an invitation to deliver an address on National Edu cation day at the Fifth National Corn exposition here next January. Mr. Eggleston is a well recognized author ity on rural school improvement and kindred subjects, and his talk will be i valuable factor in the interesting programme which has been arranged for this day. National Education day has been fixed for Friday, January 31, the exposition opening on January 27.

One didn't So, ladies, beware! these facts are important if true. And true they are as sure as you are women. Men hate a woman who looks frowsy in the morning. The Usual Thing.
