Springs and Lancaster nearly five
hours earlier than by the present
schedule. It is impossible now to no
to any point north of Camden and
return the same day. The new
schedule will make It possible to go
north as far as Hock Hill and spend
two hours and return here at 3:40.
This southbound train will make
connection with the C/Olumbia-Char
teuton train at Kingvllle and avoid
a long wait. It will continue to Co
lumbia. The southbound ten o'clock
and the 1:40 north bound schedule
will remain the same, which is also
satisfactory to 4 he people here. The
Southern has been promising this
change for sometime. The change
will no doubt Increase their buslnes*

A letter from the River Naviga

The "tenative" schedule of the

The Seaboard has suffered fronithe

tels employ white help. When they
were ready to migrate North last
month, they had special cars put on
for their benefit on the Southern
and taken to Rock Hill and coupled
to the train on the main line there.
One of the members stated that
this one relay of passengers had cos
the Seaboard $2,000 In sale of tick
ets, which ordinarily would h ave
gone by that road. This is only one
instance in the loss of tourist trade
that prefer to travel by the Seaboar

count of the poor schedule.
Letters were read from the River
Navigation officers in Charleston in
reference to the piers of the river
bridge causing the river to change
its course and to wash the pfiblic
highways and plantations. One of
the members stated' that this change
of the channel of the river may
eventually cause the County to build
a new bridge over the river. Then
too it is filling up the chanel in
high water, making it detrimental
to navigation. The officials stated
that they would look Into the mat
ter.
Kicks were made against' the tele
phone service and the manager be
ting present assured the body that
it was temporary and that he would
look into it and rectify It at once.
The chairman of the road commit
tee stated that M. C. West, Super
visor of the County, said he was
three mnoths behind with hie road
work, due to wet weather, and that
he would commence work on the
road near the river as soon as
possible. If he could not build a
new road, he wtould plant hedges on
the side and place logs parallel to
avoid washing any more at high win
ter.

The Girl
He Forgot
Jlenshaw laughed when Ik* asked
Elizabeth Make to' accept Wharton,
whom she had never uiot, as her par
ticular escort at the theater party
which Heushaw wan planning to give
th? following week.
*Tll be delighted." Bald Elizabeth..
"Hut what 'a the Joke?"
"Jim Wharton's the joke," replied
llenshaw. "I don't suppose he ever
took a girl anywhere In his life, lie
boards where I do."
The night of the party Jim's cos
tome was certainly irreproachable,
an4 but for a certain shyness, which
troubled him more than It did any one
else, his manners were irreproachable,
Elizabeth was the most tact.nl of
her sex, so, when she found that her
attempts at conversation soemed
merely to startle and embarrass her
escort, she alked most of the time to
llensbaw and Pauline Curtis, who
were her neighbors on the other side.
Helng thus left to himself, Jim was
fvee to enjoy the play.
It was several minutes after the
curtain bud fallen on the final act be
fore Elizabeth, who had been busily
'collecting her possessions, looked
around in search of Jim and dlscov
ered that there was no such person
anywhere to be seen. She gave a lit
tle gurgle of mingled surprise and
amusement. Ilenshaw turned toward
her at the soy/id, and when he saw
the vacant chair he, too, laughed.
"You followed instructions too well,
Elizabeth." he said. "I didn't mean
for you to obliterate yourself bo en
tirely that he could go beating It ofl
alone like that."
Not until Jim, still chuckling to him
self In retro8|>ectlve enjoyment of the
play, took out his watch and began to
wind It, which was his first step in the
process of going to bed, was he as
sailed by an unpleasant and all too
familiar sensation. He recognized it.
"I've lost something," he said (o
himself, beginning to feel about in his
pockets. He knit his brows and tried
"to think. It couldn't have been his
ticket to the play, for he had been
there and come home again. "Great
play," he soliloquized. "I dont know
when I've enjoyed anything bo much.
'I wonder If Tom "
.^Here he struck a clew. "Why,
wherS^ia Tom?" he asked, thoughtful
ly. "We certainly went together."
? Then, like a flash, it all came back
In one horrible, overwhelming flood.
When Tom returned and stopped In
Jim's room on his way to his own, he
found a pale, disheveled, dejected
creature sitting on the side of the bed,
one large shoe in his hand, gazing
wildly Into space. Jim turned a hag
gard face toward the Intruder.
''Nice man you are!" said Tom, dis
gustedly. "Any time I undertake to
make a social butterfly out of you
again!"
Wharton groaned. "8ay,"^ie asked,
"what does a fellow do when things
like this happen?"
Tom started for the door, smother
ing a yell of delight. "They don't hap
pen," he said, chokingly, as he disap
peared.
About B o'clock the next morning
Henshaw was awakened by a knock
on his door. When the door was
opened slightly Wharton's dejected
countenance appeared In the crack.
"Tom," he said, "I've hardly slept
a wink. I've Just got to do some
thing.'
Tom reached for a pillow and threw
It at the long, sad face. "Go and do
It then," he shouted. "But If you
bother me again, 111- M
The door closed on the uncomplet
ed sentence.
If Wharton could have seen Eliza
beth's mirthful countenance that eve
ning when she read hie name on the
card which the maid handed her he
would have been tempted to dive
headlong out of the window. When
she entered the room In which he was
waiting for her, however, she was un
smiling enough.
"Good evening, Mr. Wharton," she
said, with cold politeness. "Wont
you have a chair."
"A chair?" repeated Jim, looking
about wildly. "I ? I ? don't believe I
need one, thank you. That is, I cant
stay but a minute. Miss Blake. I
wanted Tom to oome with me to tell
yon what a fool I am. He knew I'd
do something awful. He hadn't any
business to make me go last night.
Miss Blake, I don't know what to
say,** be went on, cheerlessly. "If
there's anything I can do to square
myself, I'd be glad to do It. I know
there isn't any excuse for a bonehead
like me." _T
Jim was pallid with misery by this'
thne. *1 know you can't forgive me
and I don't ask It. I just came to say
that I wish you'd get somebody to kick
me around the block. I can't apolo
glse, for there's no apology that I can

myself, is that yon*re the first, I may
say, the only girl, 3 ever forgot"
It was not until Elisabeth had
dropped upon the piano stool and with
her bead resting on the piano had
very nearly got* into hysterics that

Lazarus In Abraham's Bosom.
I^azanis, the poor outcast, who long
ed for a share of the Rich Man's favor,
represented a class of Gentiles, such
as the Centurion, whose servant Jesun
healed.
Of the same Lazarus class was the
Syro-Phenlclan woman, who besought
Jesus to heal her daughter. Jesus an
swered, "It Is not proper to take
the children's bread and give It to
dogs" ? "dogs" feeing a familiar name
for all outside the pale of Judaism.
The woman answered, "Yea, Lord, yet
the dogs cat of the crumbs which fall
from the children's table." In answer
to such faith Jesus granted her a
crumb from the Divine table.
Here we see the Lazarus class, sin
