^tumorous Jlqwrtmrat. Furnished the Proof.?Hugh O. Pentecost, who fell out of orthodoxy several years ago, and since then has been climbing laboriously and not very effectually back again, told of a story that was sent to his Twentieth Century by a contributor. Although the point was against his atheistic opinions, Pentecost was sufficiently "liberal" to see its force. It seems that a certain Parson Goodloe, of Kentucky, was detained one wet night at a small tavern in the wilds of the west. Among those who gathered about the stove was a youtn wno greatly "fancied himself," and when the talk turned upon matters of religion, gave utterance to some very heretical views. "Why Is it," said he pompously, "why Is it that Jesus didn't answer some of the honest, brainy fellows of his time?some young thinker like me?" "My friend," said the dominie, quietly, "you seem to have read the Bible to little purpose." "How so," interrupted the young infidel. "I've read the Bible, and there's nothing in it like that." "Oh, yes, there is," answered the parson; "you'll find the quotation in John, twelfth chapter, fourteenth verse." "And what does it say?" askea tne youth, scornfully. "It says," replied Goodloe, calmly, " 'And Jesus, when he found a young ass, sat thereon.'" No Use of Crossing.?Somewhere In Dixie land, a member of the "po'h white trash" endeavored to cross a stream by means of a ferry owned by a black man. Booker T. Washington gives the conversation in The Classmate: "Uncle Mose," said the white man, "I want to cross, but hain't got no money." Uncle Mose scratched his head. "Doan you got no money 't all?" he queried. "No," said the wayfaring stranger, "I haven't a cent." "But it doan cost you but three cent," insisted Uncle Mose, "ter cross de ferry." "I know," said the white man, "but I haven't got the three cents." Uncle Mose was in a quandary. "Boss," he said, "I done tole you what. Er man what's got no three nroll off (in riln aide er VCiA CO am JVO vu ff v*? w?- > ? de river as on de odder." The Dyspeptic Candidate.?During the late campaign Representative Champ Clark, of Missouri, and a minister who had dyspepsia, but who was helping out in the prohibition cause by making speeches along on Clark's trail, met at a farm house and stopped to dinner. The farmer's wife bustled around and fried chicken, fresh ham, pork chops, steak, vegetables and three kinds of pie. Mr. Clark was eating everything set before him. The minister sipped a cup of hot water. "Won't you have some chicken?" asked the host. "No, thank you," replied the minister. "Won't you take some steak?" "Thank you, no." "Or some ham or pork chops?" per slsted the farmer. "No," replied the minister. The young son of the house leaned over to his father and whispered hoarsely: "Maybe he'll suck an egg, pap." Convicted by His Own Act.?A provincial mayor tells a good story at his own expense. It seems that when In office he would sometimes return home late at night, after his wife had retired and when she would ask him what time It was, would answer, "About 12," or "A little after midnight." On one occasion, after making the Inquiry, she said: "Alfred, I wish you would stop that clock: I cannot sleep for Its noise. All unsuspicious, he stopped the pendulum. In the morning while dressing, his wife inquired artlessly. "Oh, by the way, what time did you get home?" "About midnight," replied the mayor. "Alfred look at that clock!" The hands of the clock pointed at 2.30. The mayor was crushed.?London Tit-Bits. The Power of Prayer.?"A neighbor of mine out at Rye, has a most observant youngster," said Francis Wilson at the Player's club, New York, the other night. "Not long ago he said to his mother: " 'Mother, I think the man who takes away our ashes is the best man I know. I think he is even better than father." "His mother expressed surprise and asked why he thought the ashman better than his father. " 'Well,' said the boy, 'he came with a poor old mule the other day, and after he had filled the wagon he told the mule to get up. But the mule was tired and would not go. The man whipped the mule hard, but even then it would not go. Then that good man sat down on the grass and told the poor mule all about Jesus and the bad place.' "?Saturday Evening Post. Fits the Description.?"Gentlemen!" shouts the impassioned orator at the convention, "I take pride in presenting for the nomination the peerless son of Pike county, the man of destiny, the fearless leader, the Hon. Silas Trimmer, better known, perhaps, to man, woman and child in our fair state, as 'the man on horseback.' " There was considerable cheering when the speaker sat down, but a small man climbed on one of the rear seats, and, as soon as quiet was restored, shouted: "You bet he's known as 'the man on horseback!' He's the worst straddler that's ever been in politics in this state." After that it was easy money for the dark horse.?Judge. "Three minutes for dinner!" cried the railroad reporter.

Rock Hill Herald. January 14: Miss Edna, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Adams, and Mr. James Neely were married Sunday afternoon at the A. R. P. parsonage in Edgmoor, Rev. L. T. Pressley, officiating. Mr. and Mrs. Neely will make their home at Push, S. C., where Mr. Neely is engaged in merchandising J. B. Rawls went over to Yorkville Monday on business A crowd of young people of the India Hook section gathered at the home of Mr. J. H. Crenshaw, at the Sam Barron place. The couples present were as follows: Mr. Lawrence Setzer with Miss Estell Gaulden; Mr. Hey ward Setzer with Miss Kate Gaulden; Mr. Robt. Adklns, of the Catawba Power Co., with Miss Maggie Crenshaw, of Lancaster; Mr. Samuel Barnett with Miss Fannie Borden, of Georgia; Mr. Neely Massey with Miss Lewis Brown, of Georgia; Mr. Jim Mc Caw with Miss Maggie Baker, 'mere were a number of young people present who die not take a part in the dance, but had other things to amuse them. The stags danced a set to themselves. They were as follows: Messrs. Ben McCarter, Hafe Williamson, Marshall Auten, S. M. Barnett, Jim McCoy, Bahert Adkins. Mr. Pressley Baker did the calling out for the dancers. State Constable J. T. Thomasson, of Chief Fant's division, who has been stationed here for quite awhile, has been transferred to Chief Lafar's division and left for Greenville several days ago to look after the blind tigers of that city. We have not been informed as to who will succeed Mr. Thomasson at this place, and for the present Rock Hill Is without a constable The merchants have all completed their annual stock-taking, and, so far as we have been able to learn, have found themselves in much better shape than they were this time last year. We mean by this that collections have been good and last year's business has been satisfactory. They start out on a new year with at least encouraging prospects. It may also be stated in this connection that most of the farmers have been able to pay their time bills in full or so nearly In full that there is little complaint or cause for discouragement. CHESTER. Lantern, January 13: Referring to our agitation of the good roads question, Mr. W. O. Guy said to us Thursday morning that if the county would make a good permanent road from here to his house, five miles from the city limits, he would pay $1,000 of the cost, if he had to mortgage his farm to raise the money. Mr. Guy is in earnest about this matter and will make his offer good. We suggested that he would give the right of way for the best location of the road through any lands under his control, and he promptly said that he would do that too. Here is a definite proposition. Who will do more? How many will do the same? Let us hear from those who will do half as well, and from those who will help to any extent. Many who may not feel able to contribute any definite sum of money can aid greatly by giving the right of way, so that the roads can be built in the best nnaeihie location without extra ex pense. We believe the greatest real obstacle In the way of good roads Is the right of way. It would be folly to make costly improvements on the roads In their present location, or in any but the very best locations that an engineer can find. We should be greatly pleased to publish a long list of land owners who would make the simple offer of the right of way. They would confer a blessing on their country and on all future generations. They would be worthy of a monument, and they could have no better one than the roads they would thus assure. Yesterday evening when the wind was howling like the hellhound in the "Hound of the Baskervilles," a few persons gathered in the lobby of the Chester hotel and were swapping yarns. The conversation turned to the appointment of the Negro Crum as collector at Charleston. A northern drummer was present and was warmly supporting Teddy in the appointment. He surely must have forgotten that he was not in the cold-blooded north, for after speaking of Crum's appointment he went on to say that the southern whites used the Negro as cats-paws and made all they could of them and men wnen tney were appointed 10 01flces which they deserved, the whites kicked. Warming to his subject he added some exceedingly insulting remarks about southern men and women. The words were scarcely out of his mouth before Magistrate Williams, who is about 70 years old, arose and faced the drummer. No hurry, no excitement, perfect self control?the thin lips were drawn Into a hard straight line. The old eyes gleamed with fierce anger. "If you repeat that statement I'll make it unpleasant for you." No high raised voice but quietly, almost gently, he said it. A foreigner who did not know English might have thought that he was offering the northern man a toothpick or a glass of lemonade. But behind the words was an angry and determined man. The stranger saw that he was in the wrong pew and left. It was simply glorious the way the magistrate buttoned the northerner's lips Mr. W. A. Fudge, who lives near Edgmoor, attempted to commit suicide yesterday morning at about 6 o'clock. He was found by his wife in the barn with his throat cut in two places, a razor having been used to inflict the wounds. Dr. Gaston was called in and it is hoped that Mr. Fudge will recover, though the wounds are serious. The cause of the attempt is unknown. Mr. Fudge was in good circumstances and no financial need could have caused the act. He has been in feeble health for sometime, and it is thought that continual illhealth may have caused melancholia or temporary insanity. The family consists of four persons, Mr. and Mrs. Fudge and two sons. One of the sons is a flagman on the S. A. L. railroad and the older Is a farmer. Mr. Fudge is 56 years old Mr. Jas. P. Ragsdale died at his home at Morgan town, last Friday, and was buried Saturday at Catholic church. He had suffered from Brlght's disease for several years and for the last three was confined to his room most of the time. He suffered much with his eyes and was blind at the time of his death. Mr. Ragsdale was a farmer, known and respected by all who lived anywhere near his home. He was 59 years old at the time of his death. A large family are left to mourn their loss Mr. C. B. Smith has been around among his old friends. He never looked better in his life. He sDends most of his time with his daughter in Yorkville now Only on three days of the year can the crosses of honor be given. The 19th. of January, which is R. E. Lee's birthday, Memorial Day and President Davis's birthday, June 3d. The crosses will be delivered on Memorial Day if possible and suitable ceremonies will' be performed. It is not determined how the occasion will be celebrated, but celebrated it will be because Colonel Reed is at the bottom of it. He is presenting the crosses and is bearing the expense himself. If others desire crosses they must apply for blanks to the colonel this week. LANCASTER. Ledger, January 14: At a meeting of council yesterday, Mr. W. B. Moore, of Yorkville, was engaged to furnish the plans and estimates for a system of waterworks for the town of Lancaster. Married, on Sunday last, January 11, 1903, by Rev. R. J. Blackmon, Mr. Edgar Mobley, of Heath Springs, and Miss Junie Hinson, daughter of Mr. W. C. Hinson, of the Fork Hill section.

Blackmon, December 23, 1902, Mr. Kelly Adams and Miss Anna Cauthen, daugh*?r of Mr. Geo. Cauthen, of the Rich Hill section Last Friday afternoon, Ben Hunter, son of Mr. Wes ley Hunter, who lives across Lynches river, in Chesterfield county, was knocked down with a rock and cut in ten places by a Negro, Mack Blakeney, of this county. As we learn the particulars, the Negro, passing a crowd of small children on their way home from school, asked them if they were laughing at him and they replied no. Young Hunter, who was also going home from school, came up and asked what was said when the Negro asked if he wished to take It up. He replied, no, and the matter dropped. Later Hunter asked the Negro if he wished to hire for this year and received answer that he would hire to no d?n white man. At the same time the Negro struck the boy with a rock, jumped on him and inflicted ten wounds on his body with a knife. The Negro fled and has not been captured. It was reported here Monday that he had been seen in the eastern portion of this county and Sheriff Hunter left at once for that section to make search for him. Young Hunter's wounds are serious and he may not recover. Dr. Sapp is attending him. Kershaw Era, January 13: Rev. S. C. Caldwell, formerly pastor of the Heath Springs Presbyterian church, has been transferred to the Charleston presbytery The Kershaw Oil mill ground ,A? ^ AAA/1 /?*> T'Kno 1? nio-ht Its 111 St UVUUII OCCU VII xuui PUWJ Iii^t.v, January 8th, 1903, and is now regularly making oil and other oil mill products. Mr. T. W. McCoy and Mrs. Harriet Williams, of the Halle Gold Mine section, were married December 31, by Magistrate J. J. Roberts The friends of Mr. John R. Ashe regret his departure from Kershaw. Mr. Ashe has been elected commandant of the King's Mountain Military academy. He is eminently qualified for the position by reason of his training at the Citadel and the King's Mountain institution is fortunate in securing him. GASTON. Gastonia Gazette, January 13: A cablegram from Corea, received in Nashville, December 28th, announoed the death of Rev. D. C. Rankin, D. D.p a noted Presbyterian minister and editor. His death was caused by pneumonia while on this foreign tour. Dr. Rankin was a second cousin of Mrs. S. F. Stewart, of our town. His father's place in Guilford, was owned by Mr. Stewart and his grandfather's place by Mrs. Stewart when they were married. As editor of the Missionary he was doing a great and very consecrated work for his church and the world. Beloved and honored by all who knew him, he will be missed and deeply mourned At the regular meeting in Dallas yesterday, the board of education elected Mr. R. F. Kankin, of Gastonia, to succeed the late Thomas Wilson as a member of that board and Prof. F. P. Hall to succeed him as chairman. The time of the meeting was taken up mainly with the business of apportioning the school fund, amounting to more than $18,000. Of this, $17,000 was distributed among the townships upon a basis of $1.47 per pupil. In each township the money was so apportioned among the schools as to give them as nearly as possible terms of the same length. We shall be able in a future issue to publish the figures in detail. The election of Mr. R. P. Rankin will give general satisfaction, and the cause of public education in the county is helped by his new relation to it After a long and brave struggle, Mr. Frank Gamble succumbed to typhoid fever last Friday night about 8 o'clock. His critical illness has been already mentioned in these columns. His body was taken to Pisgah next day, where he was buried in the afternoon after funeral services conducted by Dr. J. C. Galloway. The deceased was a young man of splendid character, quiet and manly habits, upright and popular with all who knew him. He was a loyal member of the A. R. P. church of Gastonia. He leaves a young wife, a bride of less than a year, and a devoted father and mother and an older sister and two brothers to mourn his death. In their great sorrow they have the sympathy of many friends On the 7th of January, Mr. John Keep, of the Trenton Mill, and Miss Mattie Smith, the daughter of Mr. Albert Smith, braved the wind and weather and drove across the line to Bowling Green. S. C., where they were united in marriage at his residence by Mr. R. M. Dulin, notary public. Our best wishes are tendered the happy young couple. ' RURAL DELIVERY DIRECTORY.
