A white woman named Kinsey, livinj on Factory Hill, attempted to conimi suicide last Saturday afternoon by takim laudanum.

Mixed up in the case is, too, a charge of forgery, against whom it is not known. e | On February 8tli Wrens & Philips, of s I Wrens, Ga? mailed to Augusta, directed to G. W. Wilkinson, at Augusta, Ga., a j k check drawn on the Louisville Bank of e Georgia for $21.75. Capt. Wilkinson did i. not receive the check from the mail. He e declares that he never endorsed it. His j name is written across the back of it. It The check has been deposited with an Augusta bank for collection. It shows the name of Capt. Wilkinson, as stated, , in endorsement. It is also endorsed by the Messrs. Pettijohn, of the Commercial ^ Hotel. It was deposited by that firm with the bank for collection. The .Messrs. Pettijohn state that they s took the check at its face value front Mr. it G. W. Williams, a guest who has been at e their house for some time. Mr. Williams d makes the statement that he received the check a few days ago at Denmark, S. C., ,f from a gentleman named Lyons(Mr. Willi liams gives the full name of this gentlcy man) whom lie knew and who was on his e way to Florida, and who needed money. It seemed that a party owed hint an acg count that he had forgotten about, and i Mr. Williams in taking the check gave 1 Mr. Lyons $10, with the understanding . the $11.25 was to go to the credit of the old account. Mr. Williams did not endorse the check, but stated to the authorities that he would if have had no hesitancy in the world of ^ doing so, prior to its being cashed, had it been suggested to hint at the time. The nostotlice authorities are intent on | p ascertaining how the check got into Mr. ; Lyons's hands. It had been mailed from r Wrens to Augusta, and, it is believed, in ; a letter bearing on the envelope the Wrens & Philips firm name, and the return direction characteristic of all of the mail of ' the tirin. It is the belief of the postal people that the letter was delivered at the general delivery window at the postoffice. In that Capt. Wilkinson did not receive the check, the postal authorities are en* deavoring to run the matter down. ? The above clipping is from the Augusta j Herald of last Saturday, and it would aps pear front this that Mr. Gilbert W. M. Williams is in'danger of getting into sel rious trouble again. Verily, it seems that \ Georgia is an unlucky State for Mr. Willi Hams, as his disbarment resulted from his 1 actions oVer there. We shall watch the * outcome of this matter with interest, as Uncle Sam is a bad fellow to monkey * with. e I Musical and Literary Entertainment. ' i There will be a musical aud literary " entertainment held at the home of Col. T. ^ J. Counts, on Friday evening next, for the benefit of the Baptist church, when some i of our best talent will appear. Refresh ments will be served, and the admission ' ' fee is only ten cents. ? As this is a very worthy charity, it is to 1 be hoped that there will be a large attend ance, for it is pre-supposed that all pae trons will receive the full worth of their money. Colleton's Treasurer Dead. Waltf.rboro, Feb. 22.?News reached i, here today of the death of County Treas* urer A. R. Smith last night at his home ] near Smoaks. Mr. Smith died of typhoid o fever, after a few weeks' illness. Within o ti?o iQct ?iv months his wife and eight children have had this fev|r, and about r three weeks ago he lost a son 14 years old with it. When the last sick member of [j his family was almost well Mr. Smith !. contracted it himself, and being so worn 5> out and exhausted by loss of sleep and ^ constant nursing, he proved an easy vicd tim to the dread disease. Mr. Smith has been treasurer of Collei ton countv for the past four years and ie has served his people faithfully'and well. (_ He was an excellent man and had a host lt of friends. The entire county mourns his e loss and sympathizes with his bereaved g family. >r Love Triumphed at Last. (| Last Tuesday evening at 7:30 ^ o'clock at the residence of Mr. and ie Mrs. W. P. Jones in this city Mr. J. IS W. Blount and Miss Daisy Weekly ie both of Ulmer, were united in marf riage, Rev. T. C. O'Dell performing ? the ceremony. a- Many friends of the couple in this ft city were present, and a dainty supl<* per was spread after the marriage rites were concluded. This was rather a romantic mar3f riage, and is an exemplification of c- the old adge that "love will find a way." These two young people had l}" entertained matrimonial intentions li* for some time past, but the stern a. parents offered objection, and would ? j ?+k?f tkn llOt DC WOOeil. iuiu Uiiicuiiit; iuai vu%, | Mj marriage should take place. The st young pair kept quiet, biding their time. Last week Miss Weekly came p- to Bamberg on a visit ttfMrs. W. P.I -h Jones, and the wedding was quietly arranged for.

South Carolinians have from time immemorial been distinguished for their ehivalrio devotion to women, and the daughters of the Palmetto State have always proudly appreciated the homage paid to them. They are not women of the shorthaired, blue-spectacled, advanced type, but timid, shrinking, womanly women, ivy-like in their clinging -1 thoiv onLr-liki? de uepniuamv fenders ami admirers. No man likes a strong-minded woman for a wife, and the fact that we have no divorce law in the State is proof sufficient that when a man is hound tight and fast to one of her fair daughters he has no desire or inclination to sever the tie. Bamberg County's Teachers' Association has ont-Heroded llerod in the new woman movement. It has taken such extreme, such radical action that the Susan B. Anthony's, Jennie JuneCrolv's, Matilda Bloomer's, et al, would have fairly howled with delight, and hailed the male teachers of the county as a band of Moseses who were pre-destined, preordained, and pre-annointed to lead woman to the Promised Land of Equality, Liberty, and Fraternity. In fact it is more than likely that when this report goes forth to the world that the self-reliant creatures M-lm mm- have everv right hut the Universal Ballot, will immediately take such action as will hand the name of J. Arthur Wiggins down to posterity, not' as the emancipator of woman but ;is the elevator of woman, for a motion made by him at the last meeting of the association on Saturday last,, places the women members of the body above their male co- workers. This important and radical move was made during the reading of the report of the committee to prepare a constitution and by laws, by its chairman, Mr. R. McLendon. The articles were discussed and amended or adopted as read, seriatum. An article was under discussion, in which, to avoid tautology in the use of the word "member," the drafters of the document had substituted the word "he." Objection was made to this because a majority of the members of the association are ladies. Mr. McLendon admitted this, and explained*that to avoid tautology he had made use of the noun masculine because "he or she" was a clumsy substitution for the oftrepeated "member." "Then," cried Mr. Wiggins, "since a majority of our members are ladies why not wipe 'he' out of existence in such cases and substitute 'she' whenever it is necessary to refer to a member of the association." "Do you offer that as a motion, sir?" demanded President Calhoun. "I do, sir," was the prompt an swer. "I second the motion," came in a chorus from the other male teachers present, and when it was put to a vote, there was a responsive "yCa," tlvit war sn sonorous and loud voiced as to cause the oak back log in the fireplace to fall asunder. This meeting, which was an -adjourned one, considered strictly business matters. Mr. N. A. Patteison, chairman of the committee on program of work, made a report, suggesting the adoption of "The Normal Course for Teachers" as an eminently fitting course of study. There was some discussion over the matter, and definite consideration of his report was finally deferred until the next meeting of the body. Mr. R. McLendon, as chairman of the committee to prepare a constitution and by-laws submitted his re-1 port, and the constitution as printed below was finally adopted : CONSTITUTION. Article l.r?This organization shall be known as the Bamberg County Teachers' Association. Article 2.?Its object shall be for the discussion of such questions as are interesting and beneficial to teachers. Article 3.?Any school officer, teacher, or person professing to teach, and of Bamberg county, is eligible to membership.
