It is requested 1 I..O 4 1,.. ..r ..II ~ un< inr aiiriiiuiri n ui (ill I'dllljm , throughout the Stnte wear their camp badges when they go to Coliitnbin, thus identifying themselves and materially Milling the ( entertnimnent eonnnitteefl that will meet them at the depot.

Thursday the shipments through South Itoeky Mount wore the heaviest, of the year, having amounted to 77 refrigerator cars of dOO crates each and 1,900 crates ! by Southern Express, making a grand total of 25,000 crates ox 800.000 quarts, This enormous single-day shipment gives a fair j idea of tho value of strawberry growing to that section. If the | shipments of Thursday alone net 10 cents per quart to the growers, j ?80,000 were distributed in that; section as a result. The dominion of the postmaster general requiring postmasters from whose offices free mini delivery routes start, to post, the mimes of nil residents along these routes in the local postoffices will probably occasion serious trouble for the administration. It has already been ! pointed out to the postmaster genera I that this custom is the occa- i sion of serious hardship to local i merchants and newspapers. These lists of names are used hy the great mail order houses and the big dailies to solicit business and subscribers to the detriment of the local business men and the latter | have protested, but in vain. Meanwhile the mail order houses are j reaping a haivest and the daily newspapers are adding materially to their subscription lists, m * * There are 500 more pensioners ! in the State this year than last year, says the Columbia correspondent of the News and Courier. The increase in the list has been steady from year to year and now numbers 8,250. The increase has been general throughout the State. The State board has endeavored to hold the list down and to restrict the pension fund to those who were Absolutely entitled to its benefits. It will be interesting to know tnnt the most numerous class of pensioners will this year not only $17.35, wlv.erens last year they not $11105. This reduction in the amount to no to the pensioners is simply because of the increase in the numlief utljudged to be entitled to the benetits of the fund. York County has 315 pensioners this year us against 204 of 1U02. As u result of the election held fflin Gaston county, N. C? Wednes tluy, the county seat will remain at W * *' ^ I \ ^ .

Dallas is situated four miles from (lastonia, on the Carolina and Northwestern railroad. It. has been contended I during the rniupniun for removal ! that the town of (jrastonia luis! more county business than all tlie| other 8eelioii3 of tiaston combined and that beino the centre of popu lation and ImviiiLr better railroad facilities it should lie the county seat. The meat need of new county ImildinLis was emphasized, ami every argument brought, to bear in favor of removal, but Wednesday's election lias settled the matter, at least for the present. ?

South Carolina News There's n new daily newspaper at Charleston. More properly ! speaking, it is a nightly publiea-j tion. It is The Fair Journal and' It is issued every night at the Ca- ! thedral Fair, at the Hibernian Hall. The Journal is a very excellent publication. It is edited! by Rev. 1'. L! DutFy, with Col. James Armstrong as associate ed- j itor and it is the olfici.nl organ of | the fair management. While lying in his bed recently j at an early hour on Paris Island Wm. McDonald, colored, was shot in the arm hy a litle ball, which passed through the hoards of his shanty. 1? was considered aeei- ' dental. Efforts to discover the j shooter have thus far failed. It is believed to have been a ransom shot, carelessly lired. The wound is not considered very serious, . Dr. O'Connell's Installation. The Rev. Dr. Dennis J.

The ceremony, if bo simple a rite may bo termed a ceremony, Incident to Mm\ O'Connell's installation, occurred at a meeting of the trustees i of the university held in McMahcn hall. Cardinal Gibbons, of Haiti- J more, was the central figure of the day's exercises. As the president of the board of truestees of the university, he formally installed Mj^r. O'Connell as rector. In attendance upon the meeting were many of the highest dignitaries of the Catholic church of this country. n l irwl Kooii r rnvi/Mtultr rl.wwl.wl ...IV. ? . t v.. v.v.vv. tluit this installation should not he a public ceremony, because it was the desire of the trustees not to interfere in the slightest way with the work of the students nt. the university. The installation occurred, therefore, behind closed doors. At noon, the brief appointing Mgr. O'Connell as Dr. County's suocessor was presented and Cardinal Gibbons formally inducted the new rector into office. Notice. All mom hers of Catawba Lodge No. 5(?, A. P.

This ease, as presented to the jury, was a horribly mixed nj> affair. ll had its origin in a row between 10. P. H. Nivens and H. Ji. Kirby. While policeman at Fort Mill, Nivens caused the seizure of whiskey consigned to Kirby and other employers of the Catawba Power company. Alter that one day ho arrested Kirby for alleged disorderly conduct, lie claimed to be doing his duty. Kirby and , his friends thought lie had been treated unjustly. Later Nivens went to the dam of the Catawba Power company and was beaten up by Kirby and others. He claimed that he was at the dam with a warrant for a negro and in pursuance of bis duties. The other side made it appear that iio was at the dam without any particular i.....:.... i ?i... * i._ i . i;imuirr?n, rum iiiut ill.) unriinr boisterous mid disorderly. Sometime after that in November last, Kirby was waylaid on the road between Fort Mill and the dam and beaten up. lie claimed that Nivens, Johnson and Parks and several others whom he was unable , to recognize, were his assailants. The defendants all denied the charge and sought to prove that they were elsewhere at the time. There were long arrays of witnesses on both sides and cross-swearing I the like of which Iiuh not been heard in quite awhile. It is under- j stood that the jury stood ten for! conviction and two for acquittal. Maj. James F. Hart and Congressman 1). 10. Finloy represented the defense and Messrs. Walter M. Dunlap and Thos. F.

Hart having J withdrawn his notice of a motion for a new trial in the case of Samuel McCravtn, convicted of j manslaughter, the court sentenced 1 McCraven to imprisonment in the 1 state penitentiary for the term of two years. ? Mrs. Esther White Dead. Words fail to express the deep gloom which was cast over this commuuitv vesterdav afternoon bv : the announcement of the midden death of Mrs. Esther Phifer White, which occurred a few minutes before '3 o'clock at her homo on White street. Mrs. White had boen slightly ill for several days from an attack of gastritis, but her condition yesterday morning, it was thought, was so much improved as to dispel'all fears of serious results. During the afternoon Mrs. White had conversed with her husband on the piazza of their home, and, when the latter had left for his usual stroll down town, she had gone to her room to dress for a walk with her little grandson and Home other children. After waiting for some time the children became imuatient. and noon ?jroin?? into the house the little ones were shocked to tind tliat Mrs. White had been suddenly stricken ill and lay helpless upon the tloor. The alarm was immediately given and in a short time the physicians arrived but too late to render aid, as she was already cold in death. Deceased was a daughter of the J late Robert Allison, of Concord. : N. C, and is survived by a devoted husband, Capt. Sarn'l E. White, a daughter, Mrs. Leroy Springs, of Lancaster, two brothers, Mr. ?J. A. Allison, of Concord, and Rev. Mr. Allison of Louisiana, ! and a sister, Mrs. J. M. Odell, of Concord. All of these were noti; tied by wire of the and occurrence and are expected to arrive hero during the day.

Donr Mrs Person: A good while back my health commenced failing and I got in a low condition. 1 was always tired; with jioor appetite, so tired always that I did not feel equal to any exertion at all. I had enlarged glands 011 the neck which were very sore and when I would take oold they would enlarge and cause me much suffering. I often had spells of inflammatory rhouniaI tism which affeeted the whole of my body and rendered me helpless. 1 I tried medical treatment, which would give tomporary relief, but it t di?l not euro me. I tried various patent preparations, but they did me 110 good. At last a fvioml persuaded me to use mrs. <Joc Person's Remedy : : I I bought a luilf-dozen bottles, and after taking it I felt so mneh better that I (li<l not feel like taking any more. The next year in the spring I knew I needed more and again took a half dozen. I t?x?k it in that, way until it has made a complete curt of me mid my health is tine. The enlarged glands are entirely cured, rheumatism entirely cured, and I am now in stout, robust health, and I advise everybody a-1io needs a tonic or are "run down" to use Mrs. .loo Person's Remedy.
