Local News* WEDNESDAY, SOW 7, HM). The Dreaming Boy. The following little fairy story under the nhove caption was written by Master Elliott h. McCnnts, u 0-year old pupil of thc Central Graded School, /ii t his city, and indeed, n very clover production for one of hi? age: Sam. sat in his own little room by the grate, where tho liro wa? sparkling bright. Sam. sat as still asa mouse and tossed his hoad from side to side dozing and dreaming. At last he fell asleep and dreamed that lie saw a j beautiful garden of (lowers which he louged very much to go to. In tho garden lie saw a ring ot'little fairies ?lancing and playing upon harps. All this seemed very sweet to Sam., for ho was a great fellow for pretty things. Ile saw lovely flowers ;in?l fruits in tho garden. Oh, how he did wish tobe there! All nt oncea little voice whis- j peted in his car, "So you wish to como j into the gulden. Hut you will have to ? be as little as we are." Sam. said, "Do i haiige ini- into one of you dear little creatures. < Hi, how I do wish I WUK one ol' you-you are so dear/' So all at once Sam. felt himself growing smaller and smaller'till atlast he was no larger than the lillie elves themselves. Then the fairies carried him into the garden, and Sam. was delighted, when he alighted in the garden with his little fairy friends all around him. Then Sam. saw a beautiful young lady. Sam. wished very rauch to marry her. So lie walked up to her and asked her leave to marry her. That night they were married-then Sam awoke ami cried out, "Alas, alas, it. was all a dream !" ^ Denver Notes. Tuesday. Nov. lith, will decido tho late of our country for the next four years.

Pago, a prosperous farmer in thia com munity, recently showed the correspon dent a relic which baa a somewhat unique history. 11 ia a rusty.out-of-dnto eriny musket, leas the stock. Mr. H. T. Page, a brother of W. C. Page, was a Confederate soldier. In tho trenches at Murphrcsbor?,Tcnn.,hc waa wound ed, made prisoner and forced to drop his gun. Mr. W. C. Page, himself a battle-scarred ex-Confederate soldier, last year joined tho throngs of the veterana when they did their annual pilgrimage-on that occasion to Louis ville, lu beautiful Cave Hill cemetery, muong the grass on a slope carpeted with blue grass, where 4,000 soldiers that were killed lio beneath thc sod, Mr. Pago found inscribed on tho simple tablets ofTnarblo the names of several former comrades. In conversation with tho keeper which followed that functionary became apprised of tho name of Mr. Page, took him to an adja cent store of relics and presented him with a musket barrel which boro tho legend: 4,B. T. Page, S. C." It waa tho dismantled remains of the gun wit h which the young soldier was tiring away when ho was wounded And im pressed into a colony which was sent to resido in a Northern prison. Tho gun had been dug up by a farm er from whero Soldier Pago had dropp ed it in tho trenches at Murphrcsboro 21 years after tho battle. Mr. Page naturally prizes tho relic very highly, i -27ic State.

Macon Lescnsc, seeing Major Mitcham leave home, went to the Mitcham house, where Mrs. Mitcham was nursing her baby. The negro entered, and Mrs. Mitcham ordered him out, taking up a gun in ono hand while she held the baby with tho other, but the negro took the ganaway from her anti assaulted her. As soon as possible the lady gave the alnrm.and the negro was captured at the Mallard Lumber Company's establishment where he was at work, as usual. He confessed, and was taken to the Coun ty jail at Kingstree. Acting on tho Governor's orders, the sheriff to-night started with tho negro for Columbia, and it was reported that tho negro escaped, but later advices in dicate that this may bc a rose to throw lynchers off tho track. If this design is carried out, the prisoner ought to bo here by noon to-morrow. Several parties were hunting for L?sense and it was deemed advisable to remove bim, but at midnight tho community was reported to be quiet. Danger in the Telephone. Disenso lurks in the telephone trans mitter, according to the director of tho bacteriological laboratory of tho board oE health, who, in his report just issued, says: "It must be conceded that u tele phono transmitter is liablo to be in fected from direct contact with the Mps of a person suffering from lesions ot' an infectious disease in the mouth. Among diseases of this class may be mentioned tuberculosis, diphtheria and influenza. Loud talking, laughing, coughing and sneezing while at the telephone is also liable to projeot a fine spray of saliva over the transmitter, the saliva carrying with it whatever organisms may bo present in the mouth. "Once the telephono be thus infected, it is possible for a subsequent user, especially if he follows closely after the person who infected the instru ment, to become infected, if his lips touch tho transmitter. "The receiver, or ear piece, of tho telephono necessarily comes in contact with the external ear, and might also receive disinfection with advantage. Tho risk, however, is less thau that involved in tho uso of public phono graph ear tubes, which enter the audi tory canal, and may sometimes trans mit pus organisms and the discharges from suppurativa middle car affec tions."-Philadelphia Ledger: - Tho gold fund in tho UnitcdStates treasury, last Friday, amounted to $458,477,104, tho highest point ever reached since tho foundation of the government. This is said to bo thc largest gold fund in the world. - Tho last day of October closed tho fiscal year of tho State of New Jersey. During the year, according to the re port of the .finance department, forty one; trusts wcro organized under tho laws of tho S tato with a capital ranging from $5,000,000 to f ' .uO.000,000- none aro reported under i re millions-and with a total capitalization of $000,000,000. During the last two McKinley years the State has received for charters for trusts a sum amounting to a million of dollars, while in other years tho fees received from the same sonrco amount ed to only a fow thousands annually. The foe for chartering a trust company is $200 on the million. - In consequence of tho declino in price of phosphate rock and difficulty in obtaining ocean transportation, iwo big mining companies near Beaufort have closed down for a time, and an other is working only half of it? plant.
