As soon a.s she found it out she ran to the dloor and called her husband, who fortunately was not far away. Mr. Richardson ran to his wife at once and made a great effort to tear her clothing off and in doing so he burned one of his hands quite badly. However, the fire had made too great headway, and -he then ran and got a bucket of water, but by this time the ciothing of his wife was in a blaze. ie dashed the water on her and man aged to put out the flames, not until Mrs. Richa-rdson, however, was most painfully burned, from the waist down, and her hair on the back part of her head singed.

Wyse Only Survivor of Samps Bridges Incident Writes His Version of it. Wyses Ferry, S.'C., April 7, 1909. Editor Herald and News:-Please allow me to make a correct statement of the unwritten history of the Hamp ton Campaign in 1876-77 as regards the winning over of Samps Bridges to the Wallace House in Catrlina Hall. I happen to be one of the par ty who did the work, therefore, as it has been agitated by Col. Dickert and Col. Keitt, I think it my duty to give a correct statement of the affair. The Wallace and Mackey factions had a tie and as Pres. Hayes, not Grant, agreed to recognise the ma jority house, J. Means Davis, then Chairman of the Democratic State Ex. Committee of S. C., came to L. B. Maffett and U. B. Whites -to know if they could not change Samps Bridges over to the Wallace house. They told him with plenty of money they thought they could. He told them to go ahead at once and be in a hurry the money would come. Maf fett and Whites called in Dr. A. F. Langford and Geo. M. Wilson and myself to assist them. We went to work and succeeded in getting Bridg es in Stork's restaurant, not hotel. We worked on him two nights and one day before we got him to consent to join the Wallace house. I will state here if it had not been for Dr. Langford we would never been able to change him. We had to undergo some things I never thought I would do, but all the same we did it and I have nothing to regret. Now if Col. Dickert and Col. Keitt wants to write a full history of the whole affair I am ready to assist them as I am the only living one of the party. The above is only the outlines. A. L. Wyse. Bush River Baptist- Church. At the Bush River Baptist church on Sunday tla pastor, Rev. C. W. Hidden, preached a special Easter sermon on the Passion having for its title. "The Dreamer of Galilee." The speaker opened with a descrip tion of a moonlight scene at Lake Helen, in Flor;ida, to introduce a pie tare of a girl playing the violin, im provising in the moonlight, ''a dream or, direaming t-he bright, golden dreams of youth.'' This was succeeded by a vision out on the ocean, under the Southern cross, detailing the escape of John Boyle 0O'Reilly, the gifted writer, who penned the lines ''The - dreamer lives forever While the toiler dies in a day.'' Declaring that the world's dearesh sweetest and best, were all blassed as. dreamers in their time, he talked of the tangible nature of the dreams of the reformers of the ages, and then passed to an analysis of the Rev. .C. W Hidde .. Pastor Bush River Baptist Churehi. birth, life and death of Jesus, ''The man-God dreamer of Galilee.'' The need of Jesus, the coming of the Lord to fill that need, the night in the garden of Gethsemane, the be traval,trial and crucifixion, the mean ing and the lesson underlying it all, afforded the preacher an oppor tunity to-introduce a. series of deeply iite::eting woird pictures and e;o quent comment. He closed with a portrayal'of tihe life to come, ''out in the blue and the stars with Jesus' that will linger in the memory of those who listened to it. Incidental to the services Dr. Hidden sang an original evangelistic solo, being sup ported' in the chorus by the choir of the ehurch under the direction of Mis Ethel Duncan, organist and musical director.
