Has Started On Its Last Week of of the-Season. The following is copied from The State of yesterday: "Today the four clubs in the little South Carolina State league start on the last week of the season of 1908. In the game little league Sumter - and Chestr will fight it out fpr first place, while Orangeburg and Rock Hill will battle for third place. Sum ter starts the week with two less lost games than Chester, just 19 points in'Sumter's favor. Orangeburg leads Rock Hill by two less lost games, 14 points. So it will be seen that the finish this week In the State league will be interesting in more ways than one. "Sumter plays the whole week at home as the Orangeburg series has been transfered there. "Chester plays at Rock Hill today, Tuesday and Wednesday, and closes' the Be?son at home with Rock Hill on Saturday, August 1. It will be noted that Siimter and Chester have won the same number of games, 37 7?likewise Orangeburg and Rock Hill, 25. Here is hoping the finish will be without friction and that the best club will win out." * The Local Paper. The local paper should be found in every home. No children should grow up ignorant who can be taught to appreciate tbe home pa per. It is .said to be the stepping stone of intelligence in all those mat ters not to be found in books. Give your children a foreign paper which contains not a word about any per son, place or thing, which they saw nor perhaps" ever neard of, and how could you expect them to be interest ed. But let them have the home paper and read of people "whom they meet and cf places of which they are familiar and soon an interest is awakened which increases with' every arrival of the local paper. Thus a habit of reading is formed and those children will read the papers all their lives and become intelligent men and women, a credit to their ancestors, strong in knowledge of'tne world as it is today. * The Gymnasium Craze. Seme of our boys seem to have the gymnasium craze. That is right and proper, but after ail the cheapest and best gymnasium in the world? one that will exercise every bone and muscle in the body?is^ a flat piece of steel, notched in one side, fitted tightly into a wooden frame, and. after being greased on both sides with a bacon rind, rubbed into a stick of wood lengthwise on a saw buck. * Campaign Against Sin. Sunday night the fourth sermon in the Campaign Against Sin was preached in the Methodist Church by Rev. J. L. McLees. His subject was "Gambling and Its Consequenc es." The next sermon will be preach ed on next Sunday night in the Baptist Church by Rev. W. S. Hol mes on "Personal Influence." Will Be Played in Sumter. On account of the poor attendance at the base ball games in this city the three games which were to have been played here the last of this week with Sumter will be transferred to that city, where Orangeburg will play the whole of the week. * Will Run on Full Time. The Orangeburg M'f'g. Company announced last week that they would begin to operate on full time in about ten days. The mill Has been run only four days each week for the past few months.

Negro Boy, 12 Years Old, Arrested For the Crime. Luke Adams, a negro youth about 12 years old, nas been lodged in jail, charged with entering the residence of Mr George H. Cornelson, in this city, shortly after noon last Wednes day. Mr. Cornelson and family are summering in North Carolina and during their absence the place is in charge of a watchman, who only leaves at meal time. ihe act was committed while the watchman was at dinner, an entrance being effect ed from the rear by smasning a pane of glass, which enabled the "in truder to unlock a door. Drawers were ransacked and a number of articles were scattered about the floor. Whether or not anything was stolen cannot be said until Mr. Cor nelson returns. Adams, as is common in such cases, denies his guilt and endeav ored to inculpate another negro, boy, but Chief of Police Fischer is con vinced that he has the right party who, notwithstanding his few years, has been in limbo before and now is in a fair way to be sent up for a term of years. The case will be tried at tne September term of Court. * ORANGEBURG DOGS MUZZLED. Ordinance Remains Effective Until First of September. The ordinance recently passed by the city council requiring all dogs running at large within the city limits to be muzzled became effective Friday, imd remains so through the month of September. Hereafter this law will he enforced each year, be ginning May 1. The policemen are designated as "dog catchers," and for every one of the canine tribe caught violating the ordinance the officer will receive fifty cents, and the owner, to effect the release of the animal, must hand over to the city the sum of two dolars. The enforce ment of this law will relieve the con stant dread of mad dogs under which many people have been labor ing since the beginning of hot weath er. * NEGRO WOMAN SHOT. On Sunday Morning Near the Coast Line Depot. On Sunday morning about three o'clock a negro woman by the name of Julia Salley was shot by a negro man named Anderson Badey at her home in Wannamaker Court near the Atlantic Coast Line Depot. It seems that Badey tried to get In the house, but the wpman would not let him in. He then slipped around and shot her through the window. The woman is in a serious condition. Badey made his escape and is still at large. Badey is a pretty notorious charac ter and has served on the chain gang several times. Some years ago when locked up in the guard house at Cope he attempted to escape by burning his way out: . * New School For HoHy Hill. A dispatch from Holly Hill to The State says the work of demolish ing the old school building of Holly Hill began on Monday of this week, preparatory to ejecting a commodi ous and up-ito-date building, which will be completely furnished and equipped, and when finished will cbmpare most favorably with the school buildings' of much larger towns. Contractor Blackmon of Orangeburg, who holds the contract, says three months will be the short est time possible in which to com plete a ? building, such as this pro gressive town desires, and it will not be earlier than the last of October before the building'is delivered to ?the trustees. /Ehe school session, however, will begin ?s usual, tem porary arrangements having been made at the town hall. * Mrs, James H.

Arant, of Lower St. Matthew s' died Friday morning, in the 83rd of her age. .She had passed the alloted time of the Psalmist and death came as a relief from her sufferings, but she will be missed sadly by her devot ed family and the community. She was a noble. Christian woman, of a most lovable and amiable disposition. Besides her venerable and useful husband she leaves two daughters Miss Mamie Arant and Mrs. Susan Evans. Mrs. Arant was a Miss Keebler. Her sister, Mrs. Richard Glaze who a& a widow married Dr. Jacob Arant, was the mother of Major William L.

Tray wick. This grand old preacher?not old in years, prematurely gray, but old in the Master's work, full of years and zealousness and earnest endeavor, who has labored hard and unceasingly during the building of this temple and although there were obstacles which semed almost un surmountable he overcame these and accomplished his task beyond the hopes of the most sanguine. * Fish Fry. The members of North Providence Lodge, C. M. A., gave a fish-fry to their friends on Friday, July 24th, at Flinches' -Lake.

The 15th annual catalogue of the Orangeburg Collegiate Institute has been issued, and is now being sent to prospective patrons throughout the State. The school is attracting more ? attention each year, and is bringing to the city boys and girls from many different sections of the State. The health record of the schco. has been almost perfect. President Peterson has worked hard for the school, and it has had a fine teaching force each year. For the coming year, 13 teachers have been engaged, representing the very best colleges in this ami other States. Besides the regular course of study, the school makes a special ty of preparing boys and girls for college examinations. Large num bers of studems who have been train ed here take the examinations for Winthrop, Clemson and the Citadel each year, and they have been eminently successful in securing scholarships. There has been a de mand for a school of this nature In the State for a long time, and Or angeburg naturally feels proud df it. President Peterson says the prospects for the school were never brighter than they are for the fall session. He receives numbers of re quests for catalogues and informa tion each day. The boarding capacity of the* school is 150,, 70 girls and 80 boys. The total enrollment for the past session was 220, which includes the town patronage. The latter is nev er very large owing to the fact that Orangeburg has one of the finest systems of graded schools in the State, and tuition is free there for students in the city. * CHILDREN'S DAY PICNIC. A Very Pleasant Day Spent at Two Mile Swamp. On last Saturday,' July 25th. A "Children Day" picnic, was given by the good people of the Norway section, at Two-Mile Swamp church which was attended by a very large crowd. The number present was ?estimated at about 1200 or 1500. Exercises began at 10 o'clock a. m. A number of speeches were made by the little children, that were very interesting and were enjoyed by all that heard them. After the children's exercises, a good long interesting talk was delivered by Mr. Lucius Livingston ,of North, S. C, after which the committee adjourn ed for dinner. The dinner was de layed sometime by a good rain, that came up just as the well filled bas kets were ready to be opened. Of course, every body with their baskets, left the table to seek shelter in the | church ami school house. After dinner, we were, addressed ! by Mr. Clifton Hair. He made a good talk that was enjoyed too, by all near enough to hear him. Clif ton is a bright young boy of that section and is trying hard to make a good man of himself. He has the good wishes of all who know him, in his good efforts. The rain was very much needed in that section. Therefore it, was appreciated, if it. did disturbe the people and make them wait a while for dinner. I don't think any ofj them waited long enough to hurt themselves, when v they did get it, by eating too much of the good din ner that was plentifully spreaded be fore them. C. C. B. A Husband!'Suggests a Plan. A contributor to "The Pilgrim's Script," in the August American Magazine, says: "I have read the article on 'Mar riage and Divorce' in the July Amer-| ican Magazine with great interest. I am glad to see that the young man [you quote lets his wife handle all the money. We do that in our fami-j ly, and here is a detail that I offer as a further suggestion: "Out of our general fund my wife takes for herself, and gives me, a fixed personal allowance. We each preserve that inviolate. We must dress ourselves and meet certain de finite expensgs out. of these individual funds. If I exceed the speed limit in neckties I have to solier up until i next month. If I decide to switch from $5 shoes to $7 shoes, I can do vo without tturniiig off the light that makes home happy. If my wife pays $20 for a hat I can admire the hat. and laugh over the fit of folly that drove her to such extravagance. It is no concern of mine. I know that she will have to economize somewhere." Lever Must Take a Rest. Congressman A. F. Lever return ed to Lexington Thursday, after an absence of ten days, during which time he addressed a number of po litical meetings in his district and spoke to great farmers' rallies at Gaffney and Union. The 7th dis trict Congressman is rapidly becom ing one of the most popular speak ers in the State, and his good work for agriculture has made him in great demand at farmers' meetings. Congressman Lever is suffering very much with throat, trouble, and a specialist in throat diseases has or dered a complete rest for him. While the trouble seems serious, it is thought a ten days' rest will put the young Congressman back in condition for finishing the summer's work. * Has Returned. City Electrian Roberts, who was quite ill in this city some weeks ago and who left for his home at Ninety Six to get needed rest, returned to the city last week. Mr. Roberts is now fully recovered. Have Received Uniforms. The Orangeburgg Military Band have received their uniforms and wili likely rnake their appearance la them at the next c/ icert. MONEY NEEDED. THE DEMOCRACY'S CALL TO THE people! Every Democrat in Orangeburg Coun ty Should Help in the Fight For . Good Government. As we stated in our Friday's issue Mr. Bryan has issued a call to the Democratic newspapers of the United States to solicit funds for Democra tic campaign expenses. The Times and Democrat takes( pleasure in in viting Democrats of Orangeburg County to respond to that call. Con tributions from individuals, large or small, will be received by this paper and acknowledged and forwarded to the proper autnoritfee. .The suggestion that this call be made upon t.ie Democratic press of the country came to Mr. Bryan from South Carolina, and it seems to us peculiarly appropriate that the press of the South and the people of the South should heartily support the movement. The State says "the forces oppos ed to Democracy, as reflected in the Denver platform, control nine-ten tus of the newspapers of the great cities. The same influences exercises a warp ing pressure upon the news-gathering and news-disseminating associations of the country. The result is that the Democratic party' can hope for but little friendly co-operation from those papers that are only "De mocratic" when the Democratic plat form and those that stand upon it, lean toward Republicanism." "Is not this the occasion for the newspapers of the South, true to their section, true to their party and true to themselves, to rally to the party and endeavor to counteract the traitorous defections elsewhere? And as the metropolitan newspapers have definitely refused to enlist in a great popular fight against corruption in politics and predatory dishonesty in business, is it not more incumbent upon the Southern newspapers? daily and weekly?that are nearer the lives of the\peopIe to give De mocracy aggressive support? "And what of the obligation of the people of tne South? We had our dark days during "Reconstruc tion"?th'e darkness made possible by Republican rule, and that was only dispelled by the light of De mocracy?but for thirty years the Southern States have had fair poli tical sailing. Here, whatever honors and emoluments there are in poiitics go to Democrats. To 3Upport Demo cracy in the South is not costly; it requires no sacrifice. How different in most of the States of the East and West, where a Democrat is in a per petual minority, and stands for his principles at the cost of hope of poli tical preferment! "It is true that the South gives her electoral votes to the party of the people, but only stout fighting and continued fighting by Democrats of other sections'makes national vic tory possible. Should not Southern Democrats enter in earnest into the thick of the fight and aid their party by contributing to the full extent of their ability the financial sinews so urgently needed?" The Times and Democrat hopes that every Democrat in Orangeburg County will make a contribution to the cause. The De mocracy has to depend on the people for money to run their campaign and they should respond as liberally as they can. *j BOSTON, MASS. AND RETURN.

Catarrhal troubles are increasing, not only in Orangeburg 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 rors of catarrh. 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. Attention Veterans.

MAY CAUSE A SMILE A COLUMN OP LIGHT READING THAT WILL BE ENJOYED By All Who Like to Read Funny and Witty Sayings from the Mag azines and Papers. A Maine Whisky. Sir Thomas Dewar told an amusing story at the opening of Dewar House concerning a liquid which he once sampled In the prohibition state of Maine, U. S. A. When he asked what it was made of he was told ihe blender took a gallon of wood alcohol, pu* a wiueglassful of glycerin in It to mellow It. then ground down some plug tobac co and strained It through a cheese cloth to give It a flavor.and united the whole with a gallon of water. It was called '?squirrel whisky" because "those who drank it talked nutty and climbed trees."?London Globe. The Locust Story Outclassed. The king commanded the court story teller to unfold a narrative without an end. "Once on a time there was a huge building filled with corn," began the story teller. "An enormous swarm of locusts swooped down on this tremen dous edifice and"? "Stop!" commanded the king. "That tale is a bearded chestnut I want something new. But it must be a sto ry without an end." The story teller departed. Several hours later he returned and was ad mitted to the royal presence. "0 most, mighty monarch," he be gan, "I hnv? found one who"can regale you with a story which is devoid of conclusion." "Produce!" cried the king. The story teller passed from the throne room, but soon returned. He was accompanied by a woman. "Your highness, this lady will tell a story which has no end," announced the story teller. Then the woman told the king every thing she was going to purchase when her husband had his salary raised. The king was still listening.?Har per's Weekly. Tho Saving of the English. I cannot disguise from myself the helpless dependence of tbe British em pire on us (the Irish) for vital elements of talent and character. Without us the English race would simply die of respectability within two generations. ?Bernard Shaw. Ho Saw With His Mouth. "A wealthy and Indolent countryman of mine," .said a Frenchman, "spent several years in America. On his re turn to Paris a learned society invited him to dine. " 'Tell us your impressions of that great and rich country where you re mained so long,' they said to him at tbe dinner. "And be pondered a long while. Then be said: *' Tbe American redhead duck Is de lightful.' "But the leaped men about him pushed aside that statement He had been In America eleven years. Surely, they said, he must have observed other things. "And the guest, after a very great while of thought,'said: " 'The American canvasback duck is also delightful.'" Tho Missing Frog. The pupils of a c'istingulshed pro fessor of zoology, a man well known I for his eccentricities, noted one day two tidy parcels lying on their In structor's desk as they passed out ?t the noon hour.
