CURB STONE CHAT MATTERS OP GENERAL INTER EST IS DISCUSSED. Osrangeburg Slighted by Governor Ansel?The Game Law and Dyna Mite?Publicity Wanted. We observe that Gov. Ansel has appointed Capt. Samuel Dibble a del egate to the National Irrigation Con gress to be held next month in Spok ane. Washington. This is a wise selection, but cer , -talnly we cannot understand it at all. Although Orangeburg County has been a zealous supporter of Gov. Ansel in the past he seems to en tirely forget our leading citizens when it cornea- to these little honors and courtesies. The Governor has been appointing ? delegates to this Congress for the past six months, if our memory serves us right, and at last he ap points Capt. Dibble. We have observed without jealousy that when it comes to appointing delegates to various bodies, special judges and the like Orangeburg County is conspicious in its absence. Are we to infer that Governor Ansel does not think our distinguished cit izens, worthy of these little honors? But we cannot for the life of us see what direct interest South Caro line has in this Congress. Our State has long suffered from an ex . cess of water and whiskey. Certainly vre do not want more water, but Its drainage we need, and on this point Capt. Dibble can give you more prac tical information than any man in South Carolina, for he has drained ?and rejuvenated a large portion of Orangeburg County. Let Capt. Dibble go to Spokane by all means and make an even swap with the parched and arid plains of the wild and woolly West. They want water; we will take ours dry?and all will be happy. Fish and Game Laws. It is not believed that the fish and game laws are violated as much as several years ago. The Audubon Society under the management of the efficient Secretary Mr. JameB Henry Rice has made "the pot hun ter and fisherman a little more care ful in violating the laws of the land. There should be no professional fishermen in this section as fish are entirely too scarce to be caught for market. Fishing should be engaged in only as a pleasant pastime and Invigorating sport. This Is also true of hunting, and every citizen should frown down the violations of the game laws, which are already too lax. A few weeks ago several gentle men were walking along the river hank a few miles from Orangeburg whey they found a dynamite stick with two fuse* all ready to shoot for the evident purpose of killing fish. These gentlemen threw the dyna mite away and brought the fuses to the Auditor's office to be used in evidence if necessary for violation of the law relating to selling dynamite. The law makes it a criminal offense to sell dynamite unless both the buyer and seller make oath that It is not t o be used for killing fish, and such-oath must be filed within thirty days with the Auditor. It is said that this law is being constantly vio lated right here in Orangeburg. The penalty is very heavy and It would not be a surprise that some people will soon be in the toils of the law. It is also said that before a list of all persons who have bought dyna mite will be published as it is so far as given a public record. It is said that before Ion a list of this list will cause some astonish ment as some persons who have nev er owned an Inch of land have sol emny declared that they were buying the dynamite to blow up stumps. Just wait and see how It looks. One of our Aldermen recently stated that he was going to introduce an Ordinance forbidding the sale of dynamite within the City as is was kept only for illegal purposes and was a constant menace to the people especially In case of fircB. This would be a good ordinance. Publicity Wanted. A town cannot grow without a reasonable amount of advertising of the right kind. Of course, vain boasting is not legitimate advertis ing, but a truthful statement of what Its peopie are doing is not only legit imate but helpful. Nothing will help a town so much as to have a daily chronicle of what is going on among its people publish ed In the daily journals. This keeps the town before the publ!? eye and gives the public to understand that we are not only living but are up and doing. Orangeburg has for years lacked good correspondents for the daily papere. We certainly moan no re flection when we say the city and -county of Orangeburg has never had but one live newspaper correspondent for the daily papers that we recall, and that was Mr. L. Hayne Wanna maker, Jr., who was soon employed by the News and Courier upon its regular force. All the progressive cities in this State have live correspondents: Spar tanburg. Florence. York, Rock Hill and numerous other places have been built up largely through keeping their people and their doings before the public through its newspapers. There Is a good reason why the | daily papers do not have live young correspondents here, and It is a good reason too, the people of Orangeburg City have never required It of the papers In return for their patron age. There Is something happening In Orangeburg County every day that would make interesting reading for both ourselves and the public. It Is wrong to expect some busy man whn already has his hands full to do this work for a meagre allow ance, but the readers of the News and Courier and The State, and the SISTR?NTC9 STATEMENT. Ho Denies That He and Miss Norris Did Wrong. The Spartanburg Herald says upon Slstrunk's arrival in that city af ter being released at Greenville he went to the Herald office and made a statement for publication. He said that the whole story was incorrect, but that the affair wa9 really so mix ed up that it was hard to explain, suffice to say that he was innocent of any incorrect or immoral relations with Miss Louise Norris. In speaking of hi9 arrest, Sistrunk said: "Mr. Norris was looking for his daughter. He went to Seneca Friday from Anderson. I was at Central at the time. Learning that Mr. Norris was at Seneca, I wired Miss Norris to go there and see him. She went to Seneca to see her father, but he had left for his home before she arrived. She started back to Greenville. At Central I got on the same train, bound for Spartanburg. When the train arrived in Green ville It waited at the depot for some twenty minutes. Miss Norris got off when it first stopped. I wsb In the smoker. She had left the traiB about 15 minutes when the officers came in and notified me that they would have to hold me. I asked what for, and they replied that they did not know; only that they had been ordered to detain me. "It is all a mistake. Some days ago when Edney left Spartanburg I was mistaken for the man in the case, and it seems things have got more crooked instead of straightened out. My bond was fixed at $500 and I wired my wife to come over to Greenville. She and her mother came, and the bond was given. "So far as I know, Miss Louise Norris is a perfect lady. I have "a letter from her in my trunk at Sen eca, which goes to show that she sought to work with me. She states in the letter that she wanted to learn the button picture business. I had the button picture as a side issue." ? Sistrunk said he was originally from Orangeburg county. He mar ried a daughter of iL*. E. G. Cash, 155 Carlisle street, some seven years ago. Mrs. Cash, Slstrunk's mother in-law, is a wealthy and highly :e spected lady of Spartanburg. UNCALLED FOR LETTERS, Those Remaining at the Postoffice in Orangeburg.

Section of Laws Relating to Trash on Streets Being Enforced. The police of this city are now seeing to it that section 666 of the city ordinances are being carried out. This says that from April to Septem ber no person in the business section shall put any trash on the streets after eight o'clock, and that from September to April after nine o'clock. On Tuesday morning there were four cases charged with disregarding this ordinance. The first, Robert Mitchell, when told about the trash by Alderman Wertz, was very saucy about It, and found out Tuesday morning that it cost him $2.00. The next, Irene Kietren, plead plead guilty and was fined $1.00. Mr. O. L. Crum and Mr. E. D. Sprott, both plead guilty and receiv ed a fine of $1.00 each. There were no cases up on Wed nesday morning. Delightful Reception. On Tuesday evening the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. I. S. Harley on Russell street was brilliantly lighted and tastily decorated with palms and ferns for the reception tendered to Mr. and Mrs. Mike Watson Harley, who were married in Spartanburg about two weeks ago. The reception hours were from nine until eleven and during that time over a hundred invited guests called to extend to the bride and groom their many good wishes. The bride was beautifully attired in a pink mczeline satin. De lightful punch was served by the Misses Pearson, while cake and cream was served by Misses Nell Shuler, Mamie Harley. Marie Arant and Miss Whetsell. Pine Hill vs Two Mile Swamp. In a very slow game of base ball Pine Hill defeated Two Mile Swamp Saturday afternoon on the- former's diamond.

By the Caving in of an Embankment on the Atlantic Coast Lino Railway at Creston. Three colored railroad hands while 'at work on the Atlantic Coast Line Railway at Creston last Monday met with a sudden and tragic death. The men were at work on an embank ment excavating sand along the rail road right of way when the embank ment gave away burying tho unfortu nate men under many feet of earth. Assistance was rendered them as quickly as possible, but when the men were reached by the removal of the sand two of them were dead and a third one died in a short while af ter being taken out. Undermining the earth caused it to cave in. and it falling on the men under it soon smothered them to death, as the earth that fell weighed tons. The sad tragedy caused considera ble excitement for a time. All that could be done was done for the un fortunate men, but when taken out they were beyond human help. The victims belonged to the regular rail road gang of workmen, but we could not learn their names. The railroad authorities took charge of the bodies of the victims and sent them to their former homes. NEGRO CONVICTS ESCAPE. One From the Chain Gang and One From the Jail. W511iam Ancrum, a one-armed ne gro, escaped from the chaingang on Sunday night, while supposed to be sleeping. The chaingang was at that time camping about a mile and a half from this city on the Ninety Six road. Ancrum had a pocket knife and with this as a tool managed to file the chains loose In some manner, and made his escape. He was follow ed through most part of the night and fired at several times by his pursuers. They were not able to catch him or to learn definitely where he was bound for. He was seen by one person near a point where he lives without any clothes on, evi dently he found stripes too promi nent. It will be remembered that Ancrum was convicted of assault and battery and sentenced to thirty days, of which he had served ten. On Tuesday afternoon, Harley Williams made his escape from the jail. He had been sent up from Springfield charged with larceny and was to have been tried next Septem ber. Williams was trusted to some degree and when he was lost Bight of for about fifteen minutes took leg bail without even bidding fare well. He is about o feet 11 inches In ; height and ? weighs about 175 pounds. The sheriff has offered a reward of $10 for the apprehenhion of this man. The Sheriff and hie ofllcerB have phoned to most towns where either of these negroes are likely to stop, but so for nothing has been heard from either of them. Sick in. Spartanburg. Hon. I. W. Bowman was called to Spartanburg on Tuesday by a tele gram announcing the illness of Miss Alma, his eldest daughter, who was attending the teacher's nummer school at Wofford College College. Ou reaching Spartanburg Mr. Bowman thought it best to bring Miss Alma home, but she could not stand the trip. The young lady has been sick for ^ver a week, and it is thought she has typhoid fever. Mr. Bowman will remain in Spartanburg and as soon as Miss Alma can stand the'trip he will bring her home. The an nouncement of the illness of Miss Alma will cause, regret among a large circle of friends, who wishes her a speedy recovery to complete health. BeantifnJ W'eddihg. Swansea.

Stevenson performed the ceremony, which made them one. Mr. Harvey is one of our yvnig men and is a fine young man. Miss Rhame is a young lady of sterling qualities. Many friends wish them much suc cess in life. They are now boarding at Mr. Heesemann's. G. CLOSED THIRTY DAY'S. Disp^nsuri^ May Remain Shnt Up for Tiiat Period. It is possible that there' will be about thirty days of absolute prohi bition thoroughout the State begin ning Tuesday week, when the wet counties of the State vote on the proposition, instead of only two weeks. The almost universally accepted conception of the proper interpreta tion of the act of the last legislature which provided for these elections was that those counties which voted in favor of retaining their dispensa ries would be allowed to reopen them immediately following the elec tions, but Dispensary Auditor West and Gov. Ansel take a different view of the matter, holding that the dis pensaries can not be reopened until the election returns are finally passed upon. The State board of canvassers can not pass upon them till ten days after the election, and it will.proba bly be about two weeks before all of them are gotten to Columbia. In case the State board reverses the findings in any of the counties this would likely mean taking the ?case into the courts, which would still further delay matters, and keep the dispensaries open perhaps many months. The Columbia Record says Governor Ansel has Bent a letter to Attorney General Lyon asking for his opinion on the question. Mr. Lyon has not yet had time to pass upon the case, but at first blush Is! rather disposed to take the opposite view from Governor Ansel. DIED IN THE WATER. Tragic Ending of a Bathing Party in the Edisto. A party of negroes went in bathing In the Edisto river at Smoak's landing about Bix miles from Cope Matthew Raysor, one of the party was seen to go under after making a few strokes, and upon failing to rise, was sought after and pulled out. Mr. Furman Antley and some others tried to revive him by roll ing and shaking the water out of him, but could do nothing. Magistrate I). W. Bonnett, of Cope, was notified and with Dr. H M. Barton, of Cope, went down to hold the Inqaest. Upon Investiga tion a wad of chewing tobacco was found in his mouth and no water in the lungs, so the jury, with Mr. 51. K. Antley as fort-man, returned a verdict of "death from natural causes." Some think he had heart trouble, others that he was over heated and the cold water caused a shock which stopped the heart beating . The tragedy broke up the ?swimming party. /?he negrocti being awe stricken at the sudden death of their comrade. Melon Crop Ijirge. The Record says that lasl week was tiie banner week on the Colum bia division of the Southern in the movement of the watermelon and cantaloupe crop from the melon belt on the Savannah line. On Saturday tie- movement was the largest In the history <>f the industry for one day. One hundred and forty solid cars passed through going north. The shipments last week over this road amounted to about 400 cars, split up about even between watermelons and cantaloupes. By the end of the pres ent week the movement will ho over for the present season. An office holder never retires until the voters pry him loose. A woman isn't necessarily gifted ! because she has the gift of gab. I LOCAL NEWS ITEMS. PICKED UP ALL ABOUT BY OUR REPORTERS. What is Happening in the Country as Well as in the Cities and Towns.

Idler claims that Governor Ansel has slighted Orangeburg County. The Governor does not seem to think much of us low countrymen. Miss St. Clair Cope, who lives a few miles from town, is visiting her relatives, Mrs. R. K. Hennery and Mrs. V. Brabham, at Cop?. Mrs. Frank White of Springfield and her sister, Miss Bertha Hydrick of Denmark, left a few days ago for a delightful trip to the Isle of Palms. Mr. T. O. S. Dibble has removed from No. 100 E. Amelia street to No. 77 E. Amelia street, in the residence formerly occupied by Mrs. J. S. Al bergotti. Misses Nell McLees and Angle and Emmie Dantzler have gone to Mon treat to spend several weeks with their grand parents, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. H. Cornelson. Superintendent of Streets Ether idge could use a great many more men on the streets than he has now. Why not make use of tho spare time that some "genlernen of leisure" are wasting? "Harvard's president believes that the standard of human Intelligence is rising rapidly each year. But will man ever learn not to stand under a tree during a thunder storm?" asks the Pittsburg Gazette. Chop the weeds down In front of your home and help the looks of things.

In Its camp notes the Alken Jour nal and Review says "Elloree Is a section where Shulers prevail, and they are Just as good people as ever lived.

Liles has preached some remarkably strong sermons during the meeting he has been conducting at tho Methodist Church. When ho leaves Orangeburg for his Texas home ho will carry with him the best wishes of the many friends he has made during his short stay in this city. Medicine of Sunshine. The medicine of sunshine is some thing we. cannot have too much of. There are a thousand ills and pains and aches of mankind for which It is the cheapest and most effectual of remedies. When the Samaritan poured wine and oil Into the wounds of the beaten traveler ho also poured in lots of sunshine of a lovable merci ful disposition and it helped to heal tho poor man just as much as the medicine and food. Sunshine chases away the shadows and brings hope and cheer. More sunshine In busi ness, home, social service, and re ligion is what the world needs. Look After the Town. It is charged against the Ameri can people that while they are models of neatness and order In their own homes they are careless about the appearance of their streets and other places. This charge Is too sweeping yet it has much truth In it. Waste paper, uncut grass and weeds lessen the attractiveness- of any town. Tho real remedy Is for citizens to take the same pride in the appearance of their city or village as they take in that of their own homes. In fact, the city should be considered as the common home of Its inhabitants and all should have a common interest in It. Not Needed Here. Tli" British postoffice department has Issued a circular to all of Its employees advising them to show the in most courtesy to patrons and stat ing that promotion would depend greatly upon Its exercise. Doubtless tho circular was needed or It would not have been Issued. A similar step by the various departments in this country may bo needed for the bene fit of some place, but not for Orange burg. Postmaster Webster and all the postal officials here are as polite and accommodating as they can be. At the Majectfc. Large crowds are continuing to patronize the Majestic.
