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

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.

BAD BACKS DO
MAKE WORK HARD
Backache makes the daily toil, for

Swollen, aching kidneys usually go

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

of millions of dollars. The principal

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

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

Mill; thus doubly commemorating the
heroism of the noble women, and fur
ther memoralizing the greatest his

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

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

somewhat problematical, as it was gen
erally understood here that the war

mony of T. U. 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

lot of goods recently. . *

Lester Gunter, a young while man

will be awarded for the best yield per
acre, lowest cost of production per 1
bushel, best ten ears, best written 1
history of production, etc. There are '
84 young contestants in the corn club
including four ambitious girls. 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.

Election on Dispensary Question.
An election in Union county on the
dispensary question will be held on
the day of the general election. 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
? ? ~ ? ' IVllt^ f k A?A !
won uy a. 1s1ua.11 rnaigiu, uui wcic ,
were irregularities In the election in ,
the way of failure of managers to ;
comply with the law in requiring pro- j
duction of registration certificates |
and tax receipts. 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.
Marlboro Poultry Association.
The Marlboro Poultry association is i
planning for its first annual show,
which is to be held in Bennet'tsville,
December 11-12. An effort is Deing
made to enlist the interest of every i
one in the county who is at all con
cerned about poultry. Those who are
now members of the association have
been working for some time in a sys
tematic way, and are getting satisfac
tory results. 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.

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.

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

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
