Wade Perry, colored, lost his dray mule last week. Wade's mule was not like Browr's mule. It didn't chew tobacco or laugh, but it was a faithful animal, and it is a pity that damaged corn I'ood killed him. Wade has replaced the mule by a horse and is ready as usual to haul your trunk and all other baggage. Fishing parties are quite popular. Smith and Jones used to be good fishermen. Now Brown is taking it up. There is more than one firown man that can fish, b^t this is Jim Brown, one of the.best Browns that ever sold coca-cola, so the boys think, and that Is saying a good df^l, for the big; Brown family is mighty good as a whole. On the program for the local conferences directed by synod for the discussion of practical subjects re lacing to Sabbath schools and Young People's work to be held at Bethany, 3. C., and Pisgah, N. C., on July 30th and July 31st, respectively, Mrs. J. W. Carson is down for a paper on Th-e Home Department and Systematic Home Visitation. Last Sunday the Sunday News had ?ne section of its July 6 -edition dated July 13?a week ahead of time. We | would r.ot have noticed this but for the fact that The Herald and News some time ago did a similar thing, for which it received a little "guy ' " TXT/.. frv CAQ fVia din ILLg.

Sort of a safety value, like certain words' it the psychological moment. Commissioner of Agriculture E. J. Watson today issued warning that moulded cornmeal is being shipped into South Carolina from the corn dis trict of the Central States. The commissioner Saturday directed agents Df the department of agriculture to seize and destroy consignments of dangerous cornmeal.?Columbia cor., N'ews aad Courier, 8th. This is a most important matter. Wade Perry, a well known drayman lost a good mule last week, supposedly from eating damaged corn. Other mules and horses are dying from the same cause. Do something about it. The Herald and News caught some A -3 mu j readers in a irap mesuay. x uey iuiu Mr. B. B. Reid that if he had been to Paragoul, Arkansas, lie must have made a "flying" trip as they hadn't missed him and had been seeing him about here every day. Mr. Reid hadn't been there recently, but The Herald and News knew some people would think so, although the paper was clear in saying that Mr. Reid "has been to Paragoul," and could bear out the statements about that place. News is scarce and The Herald and News likes to have its playful and innocent amusement. Read the paper carefully and see the points. Ther is nothing like advertising and Mr. Reid, who is a splendid insurance man, knows it. You have heard of jumping out of the frying pan into the fire. Here is a. case in point. A colored young j man was charged with failure to pay ' street duty. Claimed he was not [ liable, not 18. Just at this time he was seen in a pool room. Chief nabbed ! trim. "Aha! not old -enough for duty,1 aye, but old enough to visit pool ; i room. " That is also what is called ! l ( being impaled on "either horn of a [ dilemma," or "hoist by his own | petard," or something like those. If ! he wanted to deny being 18 so as ta avoid street tax he would expose himself as being subject to fine for visiting pool room under age. If he ad mitted being old enough for street duty he could play pool without fear of the law. To settle it, Recorder Earhardt made the boy pay $5 Tuesday morning for violating the pool room law.

Thos. W. Gallman, to witness the | marriage ceremony of Miss Alice j Blanche ~Gallman and Mr. Dwight C. i StiifVfrpv nf Richrvnvillp thp pprpmnnv I being performed by Rev. G. E. Ed wards, of Bishopville. To the strains of Mendelsshon's wedding march, rendered by Mrs. C. i B. Martin, of Newberry, they appeared j on the veranda and plighted their j troth beneath a pendant wedding beli.

The bride was gowned in a handsome creation of Irish lace with pearl trimmings. The draperies were caught up with sprays of orange blossoms. She carried a bouquet of bride's ros- j es showered with lilies of the valley, j The maid of ihonor wore white mes- j saline satin and lace with pearl and | rhinestoite trimmings and carried! Killarney roses. The dame of honor wore pink messaline satin with chiffon draperies and carried pink roses. The maids of honor were daintily gowned in white lingerie with pink sashes and carried white carnations tied with bows of tulle. Th; dining hall was beautifully decked with shasta daisies and ivy. The soft rays of the candles were reflected back by the golden hearts of the gorgeously .banked daisies. The many and handsome gifts attested the popularity of the contract-' ing parties. A delightful salad course followed by an ice course was served. Mrs.1 J. E. Hunter presided at the punch bowl and Mrs. Thornwell Haynes prEsid-ed at the bride's book.

(Mr. J. W. Denning, the man who likes to do things, and who "does do" things in his official capacity re *'i? w p. T. railwav I presenting tuc ?*. \x. u. * , gave the " reporter a fine piece of information Wednesday which the public, or the part thereof that travels, will be glad to read. It is this: Beginning Sunday, 13th, train No. 52 will pass Newberry 1.07 o'clock p. m. and: arrive at Laurens 2.20 p. m., making connection with C. & W. C., j through train No. 1, which carries | through parlor car from Augusta to Asheville, in connection with Caro-1 lina Special, leaving Laurens 2.25 p. j nrr- and arriving Spartanburg 3.40 p.J m., making connection with Southern Carolina Special for Asheville and intermediate points. The great improvement and convenience of this is in the fact that instead of, as heretofore, leaving here J at 11.38 and being compelled to lay over at Alston about one hour, to catch the Carolina Special, you can j now get dinner "here, leave at 1.07 j o'clock and make prompt connection, without any lay over, at" Laurens by! getting parlor car there and making ; through trip to Asheville without changing cars. This will prove of much convenience to people going to the mountains and will be appreciated by them. i It is a good improvement over the j old system and ought to pay the rail-1 road. ? S. S.

Columbia, July 9.?Th; secretary of State late today commissioned the South aCrolina Western Extension i company, which proposes to build a railway from Florence to connect with the Georgetown and Western railroad at a point in Pee Dee township, in Florence county. The total I length of the road is approximately thirty-two miles, no portion of which ? ' has yet been constructed. J According to the papers filed with the secretary of State, the company is to .have a capital of $625,000. The j petitioners are George E. Dargan and D. T. McKeithan, of Darlington, and t Jam-es D .Evans, of Florence. It is reported her that the Seaboard Air Line railway is behind the projected < road and that it is the ultimate aim of the Seaboard to reach Charleston J9 hv this lin-e. The Seaboard controls the South Carolina Western railway, fl which extends from McBee to Flor- j9 ence, and it is thought that ?he South I Carelkia Western Extension company I is subsidiary to the South Carolina S Western, railway.
