LET IN THE SUN
Taken by and large you'll find
Life has eq lal sun and shade;
li to gloom yon are inclined.
Think well ere yonr choice is made.
There's a wonderful machine. 1
In yourself its motive power;
It can work with purpose keen
Slaking sunshine every hour.
When the family of blues
Call on you some lonesome day,
Don't their company refuse,
Bat encourage them to stay
If the mill is working right,
Grinding oat its shine and snn,
Blinded by that dazzling, light,
They will leave you one by one.
and Independent.
Richmond, V*, Dec. 2.?James H
Blair, the: ew York banker, arrived
here to day and left this afternoon
with a party for a tour of inspection,
sad when asked about the alleged
combination of the Seaboard Air Line
with other roads, Mr. Blair said:
"AU rumors and stories of combination
are erroneous The Seaboard
Air Line will be kept entirely independent
of all other roads. The
property will be improved and pot
into better shape wherever necessary,
or where sach improvements will
' enable us to render better service.
We believe that the railroad that
serves the people best serves itself
best and we intend to do everything
possible to render the Seabjerd up
d?tA And efficient.
The River Navigation.
6olumbia Evening Kecord 3rd
Tne report of Uaited States Engineer
Gillespie oa the river navigation
work done at G tiumbia for the year
ending June 30,1903, has just been
made public and is an interesting account
of the progress made on the
Gongaree. Eagineer Gillespie states
that the work has been seriously delayed
on account of the freshets and
floods, although it has been pushed
as rapidly as possible. The total ex
pendiiures for the year ending June
30,1903, was ?109.118 28, and out of
this the laud has been acquired, the
lock houses built, the plant for the
erection of the dam has been completed,
a dredge constructed and a
-small steamboat built to carry on the
worfl. The contract for the lock dam
has been let at an estimated coBt of
$77,621. Over 100 feet of the coffer
dam has been built.

A fruit supposed to bear the mark
of Eve's teeth is one of the many botanical
curiosities of Ceylon. The
tree on which it grows is known by
the significant name of "the forbidden
fruit" or "Eve's apple tree." The
blossom has a very pleasant scent,
"bat the really remarkable feature of
the tree, the one to which it owes its
name, is the fruit. It is beautiful
and hangs from the tree in a peculiar
manner. Orange on the outside and
deep crimson within, each fruit has
the appearance of having had a piece
bitten out of it. This fact, together
with its poisonous quality, eays the
Liverpool Post, led the Mohammedans
to represent it as the forbidden
fruit of the garden of Eden and to
warn men against its noxious properties.
On Their Winter Cruise.
New York, Dec. 1?The battle

Webber. The trap was sprung at
1.10 p. m., and death resulted 15
ciicutes after the drop fell. Dixon
made so statement beyond what he
had already said to the effect that be

the gun for the killing. About 40

She Did Not Drop.
"Delia!" "Yrje* ma'am "
"I am very tired, and I am going
to lie down for an hour.'*
"Yes, ma,am."
" If I should happen to drop off
call me at 5 o'clock."
"Yes, ma'am "
So my lady lies down, folds her
hands, closes her eyes and is soon in
the land of dreams. She is awakened
?
by the clock striking G and calls
indignantly:
"Delia!"
" Yes ma'am."
"Why didn't you call me at 5

operator of Buffalo, O, writes, UI

gravel or stones with excruciating

Another Shortage.
An investigation into the books cf
J B Long, deceased, late treasurer
of Horry county, reveals the fact that
there is a shortage of $4,143.73
The bond of the treasurer is good for
the amount and action will be instituted
on it to recover. No explanation
is given a? to how the shortage
occured, though Mr. Long claimed
before his death, that bis office had
been robbed and this may account
for it. It is a fact, however, that
these shortages often occur because
of bad bookkeeping, though in some
cases a different explanation would
have to be made.
"I was afflicted with sciatica,"
