WILL LIVE HERE. COL. COWARD WILL RESIDE L\ ORANGEBURG. This Gallant Soldier and Distinguish ed Educator Wi?l Receive a Warm Welcome Prom Oar People. , The Charleston Post says that "'Col. Asbury Coward, for many years past superintendent of the South Carolina Military Academy, left Charleston ou Saturday afternoon over the Southern railway at 5 o'clock for Orangeburg, where he .?will make his home with his daugh ter, Mrs. J. E. Glover. Col Coward "has resided in the city so long, and has become so closely identified with the best interests of Charleston that lie seems a native of the place, and Ais moving away means a great loss "Col. Coward has a host of friends in the city, who Tegret his removal, but will always hold pleasant mem ories of the associations in the past. The colonel will visit Charleston from time to time, and a hearty wel come will always await him. The duties connected with the Citadel will call him back to the city until the opening of the new session, the first of October, when the transfer of the office will be made to Major Bond, the new head of the acade my." As The State says Col. Coward has Jt>een an educator for many years, being associated with Micha Jenkins in establishing the famous Kings 1'iuntain Military Institute. Both went to war. Jenkins, an oriflame in batle, was killed. Coward, with out a peer in courage, and a soldier in every way, led many a dashing charge and lived through all to take, up after the war his work as teach er. He was once State superinten dent of education, and South Caro lina never had a better. , In recent years he has -been superintendent of -the South Carolina Military academy and while he will be missed in his retirement, yet his many friends have been gratified to know that in his declining years he may write of those days in which he was one of the leading men of the State, even as he is today. On account of Col. Coward's long and distinguished career as a teach er he will for the remainder of his life on earth, which we pray will be long, receive a handsome allowance from the Caruegie board. It was most gratifying to his many friends when the announcement of this fact was made some months ago. They felt that Col. Coward richly deserv es it, but still they were gratified when it. was done. This will insure ?Col. Coward opportunity to write recollections of his eventful life, a work which would be a contribution to the literature of the State as well as to the history. In the name of all the people of Orangeburg we ex tend Col. Coward a most cordial and hpavty welcome to our little city as a residents We fee! honored in hav ing so distinguished a gentleman to make his home among us. ATTEMPTED ROBBERY. The Residence of Mr. George H. Cornelson Entered. .On Wednesday morning the resi dence of Mr. Geo. H. Cornelson was ,entered by some one and the whole house was ransacked from one end to another, even the drawers open ed and the rugs overturned. It Is not known as yet whether the in truder took anything or not. Mr. Cornelson and family are away spending the summer in North Carolina and a watchman was left in charge of the house. It was dur ing this watchman's absence that the house was entered. The side lights at the back door were broken and then it was an easy matter to reach the key in the lock and gain an 'entrance. The robber did -this and then went rummaging through tue house. The police of the city have the matter in charge. They have an idea who the guilty party is and he is being closely watched.

A dispatch from Aiken to The News and Courier says "George M. Stalvey, the alleged bigamist, who is now out on bond for his appearance in Aiken on the charge of. bigamy, pre ferred by a woman claiming to be his first wife, is again in the limelight. It is now charged that he has been tampering with the mails. It ap pears that counsel for Mrs. Stalvey No. 1 has been corresponding with her in Atlanta, and that a number of letters were written .and no replies received. "This aroused some suspicion and inquiry was made at the Atlan ta postofhce, where it was learned that, her letters had been given to Stalvey. The letters were all ad dressed to Mrs. Elizabeth Stalvey, not Mrs. George M. Stalvey, so there seems to have been no reason for him thinking that they might have been intended for No. 2. It is re ported that a warrant has been issu ed for his arrest on the latter charge. A hearing has been set for the dis posal of the matter of the mnoey Stalvey had deposited in an Atlanta bank, which was attached by Mrs. Stalvey No. 1. Stalvey, it is stated has secured couusel to look after his interests in this matter. The hear ing was first set for July 4, but it is said that Stalvey did not appear and it was postponed. DEATH OF KEITTE W. WATSON. Had Been in III Health for a Number of Years. The State says: Mr. Keitte Wan namaker Watson, eidest son of Rev. A. B. Watson of the South Carolina conference, died Tuesday in this city. His remains will be taken to Ridge Spring for interment in the family burying ground. Mr. Watson had been in ill health for 15 years, a large part of that time practically an invalid.- He was an s uncomplaining sufferer and, whenever able to go at all, was a man of greatest energy. For a num ber of years he had been employed by the Gibbes Machinery company. At the time of his death he was with the Southern Cotton Oil com pany, superintending the erection of gins. Two years ago Rev. . A. B. Watson lost his youngest daughter, Miss Myra Watson, who had many friends in this city. The surviving brothers of Mr. Keitte Watson are Mr. W W Watson of Batesburg; Messrs. A. B. and H. onorter Watson, with The State company, and Mr. F. T. Waisen. There is one sister, Mrs. A. E. Hogue of Fort Motte. The suffering which Keitte Wat son had experienced for a number of years seemed to have left him a few hours before his death, and he passed away tranquilly and in res signation. One By One They Go. One of the old superstitions have to go. The latest one to go down is the old notion that whiskey is good for snake bites. All physicians have long known that tnere was no basis for this belief and now comes the '"Reptile Book," written by the cura tor of reptiles in the New York Zoological Park, which settles that question definitely. The author of this book who is an authority on the sub ject, pronounces the whiskey cure for snake-bite one of the numerous "vulgar common errors" concerning serpents. He declares that so far from curing, large doses of Intoxi cants aggravate the malady and help the poison to circulate more rapidly. It is also a stupid notion to suppose that any amount of liquor may be drank- by a snake-bitten man with out making him drunk. Married at Wagener. Several days ago Magistrate W. J. Creed, of Wagener, officiated at a double marriage. The contracting parties were: Mr. L. O. Baughman and Miss Maggie Johnson, and Mr. A. M. Baughman and Miss Cora Walker. The two gentlemen are brothers. Mr. Creed united the two couples with one ceremony and they went away very happy. Both mar riages were Gretna Green affairs and they were married In the store of Mr. Jake Gantt. in Wagener. ( The Farmer's Institute. ! Tuesday set for the Farmer's In stitute .is Friday, July 31.

The National Democratic Committee Calls For Campaign Funds. Mr. Bryan, the Democratic Presi dential candidate, says: "I wish every Democratic news paper would begin the collection of a fund from its subscribers. There are very few Democrats), who could not afford to make a small contribu tion, and the people will never be able to control the Government until they take on themselves the burden of supplying campaign funds. As long as a few men furnish the money to finance a- campaign these men will exert an undue influence on the Government. "It seem that we have reached the end of corporate contributions, and this is a step in advance, but the evil men who control these favor seekfhg corporations may still do minate .politics by furnishing the sinews of war. The Democratic party has struck a blow at this sys tem bjr, limiting contributions to $10, 000 and providing for publicity be fore election. The Republican party has so far refused ot join with us on this propcstion, but public senti ment may yet compel it to do so. "I have no doubt that the Demo cratic party will receive contribu tions from more individuals than ever contributed to auy campaign, and there is no reason why the en tire sum necessary should not be supplied by the masses. If every Democratic voter will take the mat ter up and lend a helping hand we will soon have money enough in the treasury to provide for all legitimate campaign work, and that is all we want." The Times and Democrat will bej glad to receive and acknowledge through its columns contributions for this fund. Orangeburg County should do her full duty in this mat ter. LIST OF LETTERS.

The Barnwell People says: "As far back as we can remember some thing has always happened to the cotton crop to cut down yield and disappoint expectations. This year the prophets say there will be an early frost and consequently no top crop. Fruits have ripened ahead of time, the katydid sang sooner than usual and the cockle bur can get ready for frost iu a week's warning." We hope the prophets will fail this year.

"The late Bishop Fowler," said C Buffalo Methodist, "was a broad mind ed man. Bigotry be abhorred. Creed, be claimed,- should never hedge one good Christian from another. Sincere creeds, no matter how diverse, should, on the. contrary, bind Christians to gether. 1 "Bishop Fowler used to tell about a young Detroit couple, John Smith and Hannah Jones. "John Smith was i Presbyterian. Hannah Jones was a Baptist They hesitated about marrying because they feared that In later life, when the lit tle ones came, religious disputes might arise. Thus the years passed. Neither would renounce his or her church. John Smith grew bald, and Hannah Jones developed lines about her mouth and eyes. It was a complete deadlock, the world said. "Then John was sent abroad for a year by his firm to buy fancy goods. He and Hannah corresponded regular ly. Toward the year's end by a re markable coincidence each received from the other a letter, the two let ters crossing in the mail. They said: "Friend John?The-obstacles that stood In the way of our .marriage have at last been renwed. Thrs day I was received fn full membership in the Presbyterian church. HANNAH. "Dearest Hannah?Wo have no longer any ground for delaying our union fur ther. I united myself this day with the Baptist church. JOHN." ?Washington Star. DEAR HANDS. Roughened and worn with ceaseless toil and care. No perfumed grace, no dainty Bkill had these. They earned for whiter hands a Jeweled ease And kept the scars unlovely for their share. Patient. and slow, they had the will to bear The whole world's burdens, but no power to selzo The flying Joys of life, the gifts that please. The gold and gems that others find go fair. Dear hands, whero bridal Jewel never' shone. Whereon no lover's kiss was ever pressed. Crossed in unwonted qiiet on the breast, I see through tears your glory newly won? The golden circlet of life's work weU done, Set with the shining pearl of perfect rest. ?Susan Man* Spalding. The Warning Beacon. The bachelor and the benedict were wending homeward'their weary way. "Ah. you lucky married man!" sigh ed the bachelor. "Think of having a hearthstone, a real home, a waiting welcome! Look, there is a light In the window for you!" "Gee! So there is!" muttered the benedict "Well, there's only one way out of that. Let's go back to the club." ?Home Herald. A Practical Suggestion. It was his first Sunday school, and he sat in the Infants' department eagerly watching the superintendent illustrate the lesson on the board. The superintendent drew the path to heav en?one straight line?and started the figure of a man on It Gradually die mau became larger and larger, and finally when he arrived at the gate of heaven he could not get In. The superintendent turned to his small audience and in a tragical and sorrowful toue said, "You see. he is so puffed up with sin that he cannot en- > ter in." "Try him sideways, mister; try hlra sideways," came the small; shrill voice from the infants' department?Pbila- I delphia Ledger. The Democracy of Death. In the democracy of the dead all men at last are equa.. There is neither rank nor station nor prerogative In tbe republic of the grave. At this fatal threshold the philosopher ceases to be wise and the song of the poet Is silent. Dives relinquishes his millions, Laza rus his rags. The poor man is as rich as the richest, aud tbe rich man is as poor as the pauper. The creditor loses his usury, and the debtor is acquitted of his obligation. There the proud man surrenders his dignities, the poli tician his honors, the worldling his pleasures; the invalid nseds no physi cian, and the laborer rests from unre quited toi/. Here at last Is nature's final decree In equity. The wrongs of time are re dressed, Injustice is expiated, the Irony of fate Is refuted, the unequal distribu tion of wealth, honor, capacity, pleas ure and opportunity, which make life so cruel and Inexplicable, ceases In the realm of death. The strongest there has no supremacy, and the weakest needs no defense. The mightiest cap tain succumbs to that invincible ad versary, who disarms alike victor and the vanquished.?John J. Ingalls.
