. NEWS "FROM POSSUM* CORNER. \ / """?*? ; ' . .'I ? An. Interesting Letter From an Old Correspondent. Possum Corner. S. C. Special:? X>ear Editor: Many months have elapsed since I crawled out from be hind my mole hill in the back woods to pay my compliments to your valuable paper, and during which time many changes have occurred along life's pathway, and many fa tmiliar faces that once greeted us i fwith that sincere smile of friendship, have crossed over the green' wood Into the unknown. But you and I, dear Editor, are still facing the stern realities' of life, which is fraught with many vicissitude's and trials that fall to the lot of riJan. But such is life, we have had many bright and joyous days of prosperity, days that brought joy and gladness, un tarnished by weary care. But uow - the scene has changed, time is steal ing gently upon our footsteps, and we are drifting into the inevitable season of decay. Rocks, wear away, mountains and hills crumble into dust, and all sublunary things re mind us that we are passing away. But a truce with preliminaries? Among patriots it is always in order to talk'about the next war, but a,mong polititibns it is always pertin ent to say some thing about the ap , ?pro?ching election. A heated contest . in the political, arena, is now being waged from the District of Columbia to the Sea boad, the candidates whose name 'is legion are present ing their respective claims to the dear people, and soliciting tlicir con tinued support, all sections of our country are represented by would be office holders except Possum Corn er, and t am almost persuaded to represent that famous section myself if I had the gift of oratory like my good" friends Thos Raysor or Thos. Brantly. I would take the stump at once, but unfortunately my name is John and I never saw one yet who could make a speech, I am too modest and reticent to make myself very conspicious. I am like the Irishmans Parrot, a very good thinker but not a speaker. There is one redeemable feature in connection with some of the offices to be filled, it is not nec essary for all candidates to make speeches, and some men would get more votes if they did not attempt to speak at all there is such a thing ?s man talking too much, a still tongue makes a wise head, and an empty wagon is very uoisy. Joe Brown was elected Gov. of Geor gia not long since, and he never made^a single speech during the campaign, he was a wise man, he never made any promises and he has none to fulfill. Campaigns are like lawyers, they are necessary evils. ' Yet we are compelled to have them occasionally. . In view of the fact Mr. Editor. \ 'that my pen has been laid to rest for some time, I shall not attempt to be tedious i? this tetter. But will close, hoping that I may be able to give your readers some thing better in the near future. John M. Berry. Civil Service Examinations.

A STRANGE ANIMAL; People of Cottagevllle Stirred Up Over Nature Freak. \ disuatch from Walterboro says for some days past the people of Cottageville have been very much exercised over the appearance in that neighborhod of a strange ani mal. It is described by those who have seen it as being entirely dif ferent from anything they have ever seen before in the animal kingdom. It is about the size of a yearling calf, has a head shaped like a dog, screams like a peacock and leaps like a kanagroo. Some persons who have seen it say that it is affrighted; others that it is vicious and shows signs of attacking them. On the whole ifis a most peculiar animal. * SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE. What i- Causing the Increase, of Catarrh in Orangeburg? Catarrhal troubles are increasing, not only in Orungeburg but all over the country.* Catarrh is a germ disease and. to cure it, germ life in the nose, throat and lungs must be destroyed, and this can be done only by breathing Hyomei. There is no dangerous stomach drugging when Hyomei is used; no tablet or liquid mixtures whereby the digestion is often destroyed and intestinal troubles added to the hor I roi s of catarrh. I Breathed through the neat pocket inhaler that comes with every out fit, its healing balsams penetrate the most remote air cells, destroying the catarrhal {germs so that quick recovery follows. The complete out fit costs but $1.00, and Dr. J. G. Wannamaker Mfg. Co.. agrees to re fund the money should Hyomei fail to do all that is claimed for it. Death of Mr. ,L M. Weeks. Mr. John M. Weeks died at his home in Elloree on Sunday morning, after a long illness. He fought the deadly disease bravely, never losing hope or cheerfulness, and was con scious up to the hour of his death. The courage, gentleness and patience with which he bore up against the malady which was gradually carry ing him away, and the tender devo tion to him of family and friends was marked by all. He was fifty six years of age and was highly es teemed by a large circle of relatives and friends. He is survived by his wife and four children, and one brother and two sisters. Who have the sympathy of all in their sad be reavement. The funeral services were held Monday at the Trinity Lutheran Church, of which Mr. Weeks was a member, and were con dueled by the pastor, the Rev. Mr. Bolin. The interment was in Pine grove Cemetery. There was a large assemblage present at the last sad rites. < Saving Com From Rats. The Newberry Observer says: "The Observer man saw a heavily loaded wagon of corn-in-the-shuck unloading at a livery stable in town a few days ago. and was struck by the fine condition the corn was in? every ear seeming' to be perfectly sound, looking like it had just been gathered. He asked the driver how the farmer, who was Mr. Sease, of Reeder township, managed to keep his corn so long in such good condi tion and free from the depredation of rats. He replied that when Mr. Sease puts his corn away in the fall j ne sprinkles powder sulphur over it and the rats do?not bother it. This is worth knowing." "First Bide" Received Lowered. A dispatch from Atlanta says: In spite of his own prediction made several months ago that adverse weather conditions had hurt his "first bale' prospects for this season. Deal L. Jackson. Dougherty coun tys well known negro farmer .brought in the first, bale of 1908 cotton Fri day afternoon. He beats last year's record by two clays. Deal Jackson has been the "first bale" farmer of Georgia for twelve or fifteen years, and during that time has net' lost mS title for even one season. * . Attention Veterans.

Deacon Stebbins. though a good citi zen, was noted for getting more work out of the men who labored on his farm than any other agriculturist in the county. Late to bed was consid ered ample reason for an early rising. , Timothy Flannery was engaged by the deacon, but stayed one week only. A neighbor hailed the departing helper and said: "Hello. Tim! Did the deacon work you too hard?" "No: the worruk was all right. It was seein' too much of raesllf that 1 couldn't stand." "Seeing too much of yourself?" "Yes. sor.

As he expressed It after ward, he thought he was piaylng the old Harry with the opposite side, when, at the height of what he considered a splendid flight of oratory, some long, lean, lank, one gallused. shrill voiced fellow rose from a lounging position about the middle of the group and said: ' Go it, my peckerwood!" Vest's hair was very red. and be wore a blue spit He was knocked clear off the stump ami adjourned the meeting. Three Nights Only. Sir Laurence AJma-Tadema design ed scenes and costumes on several oc casions for leading English actors and actresses. His success has often been artistic rather than financial. Ih this connection there is a story of a stage hand who was reading a preliminary announcement of a production of "Cc riolaDus" at the Lyceum. The follow ing words appeared in the notice: Coriolanus?Sir Henry Irving. Incidental Mus'c by Sir A. C. Mac kenzie. Scenes designed by Sir L. Almn-Ta dema. "There y'are." remarked the stage hand in a disdainful tone to a fellow employee, "three'bloomiu' knights, and that's about as long as it will run." He Gained the Peerage. On the 1st of August. 1798. Captain Hood 'of the Zealous made the signal for the French fleet For many pre. ceding days Horatio Nelson had hard ly taken either rest or food.

"Before this time to morrow I shall have gained a peerage or Westminster abbey." A Complication.

"A chicken!" "My. thot's fine. But how'd the bark ing of a dog get in there?" inquired Pat "Oh. I Just put that in to make it harder." A Suggestion From Japan. A young Japanese, with the national love of cleanliness, came to London to study. As he was a stranger In the j city he had to select his own lodgings. His first choice was not happy. The I hall especially was very dirty. This ! the newcomer did not like, but decided ! to say nothing then.
