The wide-awake patrons of school ' districts 42 and 44 have filed a strong petition with the county board for consolidation. The three schools of these two districts will he combined 1 into one good strong central school. \ The site has been donated and sev eral hundred dollars pledged. With : a combination like this these good people will be able to establish one ; of the very best rural high schools In the county and thus be able to employ strong teachers and give their children the very best educa- i tional advantages. The school days of our children are swiftly passing 1 and we should be thoughtful and co- 1 operate in every way possible to give our children the very best school to ? attend. We trust that more of our < good people will soon catch the spirit ] of combination and its advantages, and that, soon many of our weak i schools will give away to stronger \ and better ones. Corn Club and Tomato Club. As stated before the Boys' Corn ?Club will be reorganized Saturday, ; March 4 th, at 11 o'clock a. m. Mr. 1 Xh Is. Baiter will talk to the boys and tell them where to get the very best seed corn. Preparations are also being made to organize the Giris' Tomato Club at an early date. Sev eral girl? have already sent in their names to become members of the club and others are being sent in by 1 teachers along with the boys names for the corn club. Annie Horley of i Julia Academy was the first girl to send in her name to join the Tomato Club in our county. A long list of prizes will be announced soon to en courage our boys and girls in these lines of agricultural development. Let each teacher try and send in one or more names for these clubs at once. Barn and Contents Burn. A barn on the place of Mr. T. R. McCants, who lives a few miles from this city in the Four Holes sec tion, was destroyed by fire about one o'clock on Tuesday afternoon. There was stored in the barn twenty-eight bales of cotton, which was saved in a damaged condition, and two hun dred bushels of corn, some of which may be saved. When discovered the fire had made considerable headway, and its origin is a mystery. We hope Mr. McCants was protected by insur ance. 9 Could Not Attend. Congressman Lever, who did a \ great deal of hard work for the measure in Congress, has been com pelled, on account of the press of the busines during the closing week of- congress, to decline an invitation to be present on Wednesday night in Boston at a dinner to be given by Frank W. Rollins to those who have been most active i nthe fight for the passage of the Appalachian and White Mountain forest reserve bilk i BOLEN OIL MILL BURNED. Fire Occurred About Two O'clock Tuesday Morning. About two o'clock Tuesday morn ing the Bolen Oil Mill, located at Bolen In the Fprk, was totally de stroyed by fire. In addition to the machinery of the mill, about twenty five tons of cotton seed and cotton seed meal, a quantity of oil that was on hand, and the buildings, were en tirely consumed, and will be a total loss. Very little, if anything, was saved, the fire having made great progress when discovered. *The ginnery, which was located some little distance from the oil mill, was not burned. Just how and when the fire started is a mystery. When first discovered it had made much headway and had enveloped the en tire building. It may have been caused by spontaneous combustion, or by rats and matches, which causes more fires than many have the least idea of. The mill has been in operation some five, or more years, and was capitalized when chartered tin the sum of $10,000. It he.s done a good business and was in a prosperous condition. -Since it was organizea the capital stock was increased and more machinery added to the plant, which was complete and up-to-date in all respects. The value of the plant was about twenty thousand dollars. The insurance, which was carried in the agencies of Messrs. Ziegler & Dibble, Izlar & Salley and W. K. Sease, amounted to some $12,000. This amount will not begin to cover the losses, when they are all figured up carefully. Mr. W, L. Hughes was manager of the plant, which had been idle some days before tne fire occurred. The fire is a hard blow to the company, but we hope it will soon be on its feet again. RETURNS TO THE CIRCUS. After Visiting Her People Martha Cain Goes Back. Martha Cain, after . a pleasant visit to her home and people, has returned to her work with the cir cus people, with whom she has a con tract for some time. It will be re membered that she was stolen on the streets of Orangeburg thirty years ago, when she was five years old, and it was by accident that she learned her real name. Her circus name is Lizzie Lewis, but Martha has no special hankering after that cognomen. The Robinson circus is wintering in Cincinnati, but those connected with it are rehearsing in Springfield, Mo., and it is there that ;he has gone. Martha Cain says she intends to follow the circus as long as she is able. "What else can I do?" she asked in reply to a question as to whether she intended to be a circus woman as long as she lives. That Is very true. Having been brought up to that life, she knows no other. Be sides it pays her well. 1 The Columbia correspondent of the Charleston Post says it is inter esting to note that the management of the Robinson shows are respectors j of the wishes of Southern audiences in one respect. When she wing In ' i the South 'Martha Cain is a side-1; show performer, but when showing | in the North and West she is a mem- j ber of the big show. Her specialty Is ! i aerial performances, and she is said ; to be a fine actress. The Robinsons i are very much attached to her. States the Case Plainly. The Memphis Commercial-Appeal sounds this note of warning to the < farmers: "Supply and den.and will ; control the price of cotton or an> . other commodity. The crop of 1910 , is some larger than was at one time ] expected and the result of this is evi- ] denced by the decline in price. Tex- j as has recently had good rain, giv ing ample moisture to start their ? crops. The high price of cotton will stimulate planting. The South can < not buy corn, hogs, meat end mules i at high prices and pay its bills* with i low-price cotton. Consider rhis care- j fully. Be sure to plan your crops so as to grow ample corn and hogs. Give i some attention to live stock. By this : method you will reduce your cotton acreage and will bring about thrift and independence. ? ? ? ? Lent is Now Here Yesterday was Ash Wednesday, which ushered In the Lenten season. The day was generally observed in ! the Catholic, Episcopal and Lutheran churches, especially In the first named, where palm leaves ushes was blessed and the foreheads of tne 1 faithful marked with the sign of the cross in reminding^ the people of im mortality. In the several churches the period of forty days to Easter Sunday is supposed to be generally observed in special prayei\ fasting and the practice of acts ot self de nial. All amusements are laid aside until the Lenten season is over. Selecting Fresh Eggs. If you wish to select a fresh egg for your table or a sound egg for setting there is an easy way for so doing. Take the egg in a dark room and place It between your eye and a lamp flame, holding It perpendicu larly. If it Is fresh it will be full and clear except the shadow cast by the yolk, and if the shadow cast is quite dark you may know that the hen which laid the egg has been fed to a considerable extent upon grass. Will Erect a Monument. Mrs. M. V. 'Moore of Alabama, bet ter known as Betsy Hamilton, cap- '?. tivated a good sized audience Mon-' day night at the court house. Her lecture was both instructive ann amusing, and greatly dulighted all j that heard it. Mrs. Moore lecturea for the benefit of the two local chap ters of the Daughters of the Ameri can Revolution. It is the intention of the local chapters to erect a mon ument in this city in the near future. PUT ON TBE BAN THE SAIE OF HAPPY DUST IS RESTRICTED BY LAW. Cocaine, in All its Forms, Con Only be Sold on Physicians' Prescrip tions. A statute strictly regulating the sale of cocaine in all its dangerous forms, has been enacted by the gen eral assembly, and signed by Gov ernor Blease. If the act is rigidly enforced as soon as it becomes ef fective, which is twenty daya afte: the date of signature, It Is probable that the use of "happy dust" will be prevented to a much greater extent than now in this state. The law provides a penalty of im prisonment in the state penitentiary of not less than one nor more than five years for any person who sells, gives away or otherwise dispenses cocaine, or alpha or beta eucaine, ex cept on the original prescription ot a licensed physician, to he used un der the personal supervision of this physician. The sale of cocaine and other forms of the drug by licensed manufactur ing chemists or pharmacists, and wholesale and retail druggists to oth er businesses or to hospitals, col leges, scientific, or public institu tions or to licensed physicians, vet erinary surgeons or dentists, is al lowed under the law, as also is the use of the drug by these licensed professionals. The same penalty is fixed for per sons in whose possession the drug is found, with the intention of dispens ing it and the law further states that possession is to be considered prima facie evidence of intention to dis pense, unless possession Is bad un der the prescription of the licensed physician provided for. Other minor restrictions are thrown around the stile of the drug under the prescription of physicians, the violation of which Is punishable by a fine of $20 to $100. This is a good law and it should be enforced. An effort ought to be made to stamp out its use in this town and county. Its use is a great curse, and is re sponsible for many of the horrid crimes we read of. HARVARD SCHOLARSHIPS. Important Announcement to Prospec tive Students. The students desiring to enter Harvard College from any of the secondary colleges of this State, an announcement concerning the Rur rill scholarships of $225 each are be ing offered each year to properly qualified students in their first year of residence as undergraduates ai Harvard, who enter that college from secondary schools in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee or Kentucky. The assignment of scholarships lor the year 1911-12 will be made on or about April 1, 1911, and applica tions for that year should be in the hands of the secretary not later than March 15. The application should state clearly the grounds on which financial aid is required, and should be accompanied by testimouials from teachers and others. Information in regard to these scholarships can be had by writing to the secretary, J. G. Hart, 20 University Hall, Cam bridge, Massachusetts. Passes to Her Reward. After' a long and eventful life, stretching out over about ninety-one years, Mrs. Harriet Robinson, relict of the late D. W. Robinson, has pass ed to her reward in the beautiful home on high, where she joins many loved ones who had preceded her to the better land. Mrs. Rboinson passed away at the home of her neice, Mrs. J. L. Wannamaker, with whom she had made her home for several years. Mrs. Robinson was the oldest resident of Oraugeburg, where she resided nearly her whole life. She was an excellent lady, and In the days of her strength did all she could to relieve the distressed and needy, in sickness or in health. She was for many years a member of St. Paul iMethodist Church, and exempli fied in her noble life the tenets of the holy religion she professed. Plenty of Speed. "Drive like the deuce!" shouted Smith, springing into the taxi. With a lurch the car darted for ward, and away they went like lightning through the fog. Crash! They took off the wheel of a passing wagon. Hi!hi! They missed flat tening out a small child by two ninths of a hair. Clang! They upset "Where did you want to go, sir?" bles impotently held up their hrnds as the taxi dashed up one street and down another, taking corners on two wheels and threatening every lamp post with destruction. At last, after an hour's furious racing, they slowed up in a narrow thoroughfare, and Smith poked his head out of the window. "Are we nearly there?" he asked, breathlessly. The chauffeur turned in his seat and shouted: "Where did pou want to go, sir?" Had n Surplus on Hand. "Johnnie, if I give you two cents and your father gave you three cents, how much would you have?"' "Seven," promptly replied John nie. "You can't have understood me, Johnnie. Now listen, and I will re peat the question. If I gave you two cents and your father gave you throe, how much would you have?" "Seven," said Johnnie again, and with some promptness. "I am surprised at you, Johnnie," said the teacher. "How on earth would you have seven?" "I got two in my pocket," said Johnnie.?Philadelphia Times.

Webster, Postmaster. COMING SOON. Miss Adelaide Thurston in "Miss Ananias." "Miss Ananias" is the title of Ade laide Thurston's latest comedy ve hicle which will be seen at the Acad emy of Music soon. "Miss Ananias" i? from the pen of Catherine Chisolm Cushing, a gifted young literary and social favorite of Washington, D. C, whose store stor ies have attracted much attention of late. (Miss Thurston has placed the direction of her tour in the hands of that up-to-date firm of theatrical managers, Cohan and Harris, al though Francis X. Hope, as in for mer years, will be her manager. George M. Cohan, the actor-author manager, and senior member of the firm, asserts that "Miss Ananias" is the most original and amusing com edy he has come across in years, and the leading dramatic critics in every city where Miss Thurston has ap peared this season are of the same opinion. Nancy Lyle and her family and as sociates are persons of wealth and refinement living in the most ex travagant year of the world's his tory, 1910. To represent these per sons and their surroundings in an ap propriate and convincing manner the gowns of the women must be made by the most expert ad expensive New York or Paris dress-makers, and their home provided with the thou sand and one indispensable and cost ly trifles that mean so much to per sons of taste and culture. We are told that Cohan and Harris have pro vided all of the present-day necessi ties with prodigal disregard for the expenditure of money, and, in con sequence, we are promised a typical Broadway production several months before it reaches Broadway. Elected Intendant Again. Tn the municipal election at El loree, held on Tuesday, Col. B. A. Shuler defeated J. R. Bardin by a majority of seven votes, out of a total of 79 cast. J. Y. Antley, J. S. Ulmer, J. W. Zeigler and J. D. Strode were elected wardens. Col. Shuler succeeds W. M. Fair, who has served two terms as intendant, but declined to stand for re-election. Mr. Shuler has served several terms as intend ant and was at one time a member of the Legislature from this county. The affairs of the town are in good shape, and there is a snug sum in its treasury, and Elloree has enjoyed the distinction of never having taxed her citizens. Excursion Rates via Southern R. R.

Leagues of St. Matthews had a joint meeting Tuesday night, looking to the ways and means for the improvement of the town. There was a good attend ance and a supper for the public. Mr. Hamhy, secretary and treasure! of tho Columbia Chamber of Com merce, made a speech to the audi ence and made many valuable sug gestions as a guidance for the boost ers of the town. Ink Stains. A much?used wiiting desk some times becomes inkstained. An ap plication of nitre is said to do won ders in removing these stains. Mix six or ei?ht drops of nitre to a tea spoonful of water, drop on the stains and rub quickly with a damp cloth. Unless the nitre is removed at onle it leaves a white spot. LOCAL NEWS ITEMS PICKED UP ALL OVER TOWN BY OUR REPORTERS. What Is Happening Here and There. Local Items of Personal Interest to Our Readers. This is what we would call a rath er mild winter. The Saturday Evening Post on sale at Sims' Book Store each week. Looks now as if we are about to have a spell of weather. Hope it will pass. ' The Lyman Twins in "The Fti&e Winners," pleased a good audience on Tuesday evening at the Academy of Music. Dr. Cllifton, eye, ear, nose and throat specialist, will be at his office No. 47 Mlddleton street, until next Monday, March 6th. Mr. B. Klein, who has been en gaged in business here for some months, left yesterday for New York and will make his future residence in that place. The funeral of Mrs. Harriet Rob inson was held a half-past four o'clock Tuesday afternoon from the residence of Mrs. J. L. Wannamaker on Mlddleton street. The indications are that the larg est class ever graded by the City Graded School will be graduated this [year. It is a fine class, and num bers nearly forty members. When tomatoes were first intro duced in the South as a food, and '.t has not been so very many years, by the way, since that was done, they were called "love apples" and. The State says perhaps "love apple clubs" would be an improvement on "tomato clubs," now to le formed by the young ladies. j The Anderson Advdcate says a band of Gypsies passed through the city Saturday afternoon. There was possibly a dozen of them with the usual number of dingy covered wag ons and horses and mules in more or less bad condition. We hope It is not the same band that brought the small pox to Orangeburg a few weeks ago. Gov. Blease says he will in future refuse to issue requisition papers for criminals wanted on minor charges, unless the counties would agree to pay the cost of bringing such prison ers back to the State from wherever thay may be caught. So If any of Orangeburg's minor criminals get away, the best plan would be to let them stay away. WHY I BUY AT HOME. Some Reasons Given That Are Simply Unanswerable. Many people who make their living out of a town sends off to New York ( Chicago, or some other big Northern or Western city any buy many of the things they could buy at home. In a recent issue of the Tradesman a far mer gave some mighty good advice on this subject, which all of us should heed. This farmer gives the following reasons for buying his goods in his home market: Because my interests are here. Because the community that is good enough for me to live in is good enough for me to buy in. Because I believe in transacting business with my friends. Because I want to see. the goods. 'Because I want to get what I buy when I pay for It. Because my home dealer "carries'' me when I am run short. Because every dollar I spend at home stays at home and helps work for the welfare of the city. Because the man I buy from .tandsi back of the goods. Because I sell what I produce here at home. Because the man I buy from pays his part of the town, county and city taxes. Because the man I buy from gives value received always. Because the man I buy from helps support my school, my church, my lodge, my home. New Crop Mortgage Act. .. The following are the provisions of the new act relating to crop mort gages: No mortgage of any crop shall be good and effective to convey to the mortgagee any interest in any crop or crops other than the crop or crops to be raised during ihe year in which said mortgage is giv en, and unless the land whereon said crop or crops are to be raised shall be described or mentioned in sail mortgage, which said mortgage when so taken, when indexed or re corded as required by law, shall con stitute a lien on the crops therein described in preference to all subse quent mortgages on said crop or crops. The Happiest Children. The happiest children are those who have happy mothers. The young wife which grows up in the shadow of a discontented, repining and gloomy mother is like a plant unwa tered by kindly dews. It is apt to be dwarfed and stunted. Even when things are crooked and temptations to be harsh come, let the mother for her child's sake, try to be happy. She can show happiness even It she docs not feel it, and the joy and pleasure she causes in her children will reflect in her own soul. Retains His Place. Judge Robert E. Copes has reap pointed Mr. C. Herbert.Glaze as of ficial stenographer of the First ju dicial circuit. Stenographer Glaze was first appointed by the late Judge Charles G. Dantzler several years a?o, and has filled the office most sat isfactory. Mr. Glaze is the oldest son of Maj. W. L. Glaze, a leading lawyer of Orangeburg. JUST NEW SKIRTS. $7.00 BUYS!!
