D., who was reared in the Pomaria section of Newberry county, was recently elected mayor of Cumberland, Md. He is a cousin of Thomas B. Graham of Co. lumbia, and from newspaper reports, the doctor is creating as much con sternauon m ii-iuii.idp<xi m u^v I Maryland city as the other Tom incites at a baseball game with the score tied in the ninth inning. In a pen picture of the Cumberland official, the Evening Times says: "Incidentally it may be observed that the mayor is weathering tjhe storms of municipal government quite well, for his cares are .great, his admirers -numerous and his critics persistent. But those who envy ?him in his job know not whereof they speak." Man's wisdom woints out his own imperfections, while <bis ignorance magnifies virtues that do not exist. Dead men tell no tales, but they serve as a magnet that draws the murderer back to the scene of his crime. I ;>00 MILE BICYCLE TRIP. \ Messrs 1?. 1. Bodie and E. J.

On Thursday, August the 12th, Superintendent H. B. Blakeley of Lethe expects Senator Johnstone and Mullins and Gov. Manning, State Superintendent of Education Swearingen, the Abbeville county delegation in the legislature, Senator J. M. 'Nickles and Hon. 'W. N. Gray don, J. Howard Moore and F. C. Robinson, and others to be at Lethe. The object of the meeting is to devise some scheme whereby the State will appropriate sufficient'money to open Lethe to all the dependent children of the State. Lethe is doing great good at present, but only to a limited extent. T.ey have plenty of land to enlarge its scope, but not enough money. It seems to us it might bo made an adjunct of Clemson and an expert put in charge of the agricultural department and open the school to all needy and dependent children of the State. There are numbers of children in the State ti at have one living parent yet need such an rnstitiiHrm fr> enve them a hnme wl':ere they m:iy be properly trained. It is bope-d that the idea of Representative Moore can be carried out. Sunday School Convention.

Leslie, pastor of Grace Lutheran church, Prosperity, which resolutions were heartily adopted without a dissenting voice: "Developing the titanic evils of the manufacture and sale of intoxicating drinks, and in view of the approaching election on September 14th, on the question of State-wide prcl ibition: "Resolved, first; That it is the conviction of this convention that all Christian people, and all others who stand for the material, moral and spiritual welfare of South.Carolina and the salvation of our young men from the. demon rum, si ould earnestly pray, labor and vote for State-wide prohibition.
