TO OPEN DARGAN'S GRAVB. >umors that Have Attracted Wide At-' tention to be Refuted. Darlington. January 18.-It is mderstood here that by consent of h family of the late Robert Keith Dargan fhis grave will be opened Friday about noon. It will be re nemberedi that following his death :he rumor spread that he had not :oitted suicide, but that he wvas ;till alive. These rumors received 1 credence from persons in Dar ington informed of the circumstan :es, but they b)ecame so prevalent :hat one of the conipanies in which le was insured, the Fidelity Mu :ual, refused to pay the policy upon is life without additional proof of Us (deathi. Its attorney moved b)e fore Judge R. C. Watts some wveeks ago for a mandamus, compellhng the coroner of Darlington to open the grave and make an investiga tion. Judge Watts refused to grant the order. Now it is understood the examination is to be made un rer the dlirection of the coroner 1y the consent of all persons concern The policy held in the Equitable Life Assurance society was paid long ago. It is believed that the only objection held by anyone to this examination was the natural feeling of delicacy and repugnance to notoriety on the part of the dead man's family. A clerical correspondent of one f the London church papers re lates that a certain prelate had reat difficulty in suppressing his laughter at the consecration of a :hurch the other dlay owing to the :levice on one of the school banners which were carriedl in the process o~ before the service. This banner sas adorned with a v*ery fierce o)king lion, with terrible claws and :eeth while underneath him was the egend,. "Suffer little chidren to :ome unto me."

Sheriff Buford Has Been Active in His Pursuit of Those Charged With Crime. Sheriff Buford has been active diring the past several days in his pursuit of those charged with crime. He left Newberry on lon dar afternoon and went to St. Matthews. in Orangeburg county. where a negro was delivered to him. for whom lie had been looking for the past few years. The negro was wanted in Laurens county. He was brought to Newberry by the sher iff. and after he was lodged in jail here the case was settled in a man ner satisfactory to all parties con cerned, and on the order of Sher iff Duckett. of Laurens. the negro was released by Sheriff Buford., Sheriff Buft{d on Wednesday carried to Greenwood a negro ar rested here. who was suspected of being a party wanted there on a serious charge. The negro fitted the unusual description to a nicety.. ex cept at one point. When taken to Greenwood it was found that he was not the man wanted. however. Sheriff Buford had in his posses sion a warrant on another charge for the arrest of the man whom he proved to be and he was brought back to Newberry and lodged in jail, charged with violation of con tract. The TastS Girl. She is the girl who says the wrog thing to the wrong p)erson1 I th- ,Wng timelt and ini the wrong )lace. She alvays drives a rouind peg into a square hole. andl wonders vh there are 0(1(1 vacancies staring at her from every direction. Fre quently her friends come to her ai(l and fill up the blank corners with a qjuantity the girl herself can not commnand(. }For she is the tact less girl. It is almost pathetic, at timies to watch her disentangle herself from one social knot only to becorne hopelessly fastened in another. She jumps from the proverbial frying pan into the fire and back again arousing sympathy in the hearts of her friends and joy in those of her enemies. It is the tactless girl who. when she is talking wvith a man below the average height. -tells him how she admires a tall, herculean physique. She tells the blond girl that the on lv true beauty to her mind, is the a)solute b)runette type. If she is conversing with any one whose (laughter or son elopedl with the launrss, or ran away with a circus rider, she stumles upon the subject of romantic marriages, andl wonders wh her vis-a-vis seems boredl or uncomfortable. She never notices that she is persisting in an unwel omc topic but wan(ers on. tactless. She is permittedl to look at a por trait of her hostess-a work of art perhaps, and the pride of the woman whose features it flatters. "Oh" exclaims the tactless girl without thinking. "it must have been copied from a photograph taken several years ago. in the same unthinking manner she tells the man wvhose wife is his particular joy, wvho runs the gamut of conspicuous colorings in her owns, that the truly well dressed voman never wears brilliant shades but adheres to the most conserva tive tones in her toilettes. Then she woners why he scrutinizes all the women in the roomV and coill paies them with his wife. Ted-Is Sawyer a clever doctor?f Nel-Oh. very !

Gce h'r _h woVrking ' '1 "a z~ Ciatl(m dic i 'I )'I1t L t ai ed school has invitcd the (elnti's of our town to grive lectures on the care and treatment of the mou th and teeth. The physicians of the town have also been requested to lecture on hygiene before the school. This is a move in the right direction and will result in much good to the children. With two dentists and six plhvsicians there ill be some interesting lectures in store for the pupils. We have read quite a lot in the papers about the Clemson car. We wonder if our town will do any thing to get this car to come to our town and let our people see what our agricultural college is doing. The Southern Farmer is trying to tell them. This. together with a visit by the car. will be helpful. The communion in Grace church last Sunday was large. The annual meeting of the congregation was held and reports were made by the officers of the church and congre gation. The reports showed the work of the congregation to be In fine coidition. The attention of the people is now turned towards a new' church. Active work will be undertaken in a short while and we hope by the end of the year to see walls of the new building rising. if not completed. On a recent trip to Greenwood we met our former townsman. Mr. Kenneth Baker. and enjoyed his' hospitality. We also visited the Greenwood Lumber and Bobbin company's fine plant. where we saw some of the finest cabinet work ev er done in our state. It was the office and fixtures for the bank of Cross Hill. W'e wvere also shown through the Bank of Greenwood. This is one of the finest bank build ings in the state. The entire equip ment is complete and-up-to-date and would (do credit to a city five times the size of the city of Greenwood. ( )ur impression of the town is that it is onle of the m.ost up)-to-date and hustling townts to be foundl an>. where. We hadl the pleasure also of meet ing Walter T. Jones, a hustler of the grip, who is organizing a whole sale grocery comp)any for Columbia. If G;reenwood can successfuilly maintain two wholesale houses of considerable size Columbia ought to have half a dozen, where there are only two. Jones is a hustler and he usually succeeds in what he uin dlertakes. In passinig we noticed that the felds along the railroad wvere seeded to small grain to a lagrextent than we had ever observed before. This will help curtail the acreage in cotton.
