Mr. ] Sheridan's father was the first Head Master of the school. 1 Messrs. J. Arthur Wiggius and W. E.

P. Murphy is going ahead with the work on his telephone exchange. Several wires have been strung, the 'phones pot in, and he expects to to put kthings in working order as soon as the switchboard arrives. x It is expected alpiost any da}'. Mayor Hays had a rich case before him last Mondav afternson. The parties were Mrs. Mary Johnson and Mrs. T. C. Williams. It seems they hail quarreled over the attentions of Mr. Williams to Mrs. Bohnson, and the testimony heard at the trial was highly amusing. Each was fined r2.50. All parties work in the cotton p The construction force of tlio South Carolina Long Distance Telephone Company has arrived in town, and work on rebuilding the exchange here has begun. The new switchboard has arrived, and a full metallic system will he put in. This will necessitate the practical rebuilding of the lines, and the work is going for% ward. We understand that Mr. F. Eldon Dibble, who was last week elected to the chair of mathematics and astronomy in the Columbia Female College, has accepted the position, and will therefore not return to the Carlisle Fitting School next year. This will l>e a disappointment to many of our people. Mr. Dibble's many ^friends here will regret that he is not to /eturn. I: ' Mr. C. J. S. Broktr is home from North Carolina, this time to stay.

Highly distinguished shows a mark of 95 per cent., and distinguished is 90 to 95 per cent. Mr. Brabham's many friends will be glad to know that he made the highest marks of any member of his class. A Surprise Wedding at Johuston. Johnston, June 5.?Not knowing that shy little Cupid would carry out his plans so unexpectedly the many friends of Miss lone Toney were quite surprised on hearing that she had united in wedlock today at noon, the happy groom being Mr. J. Ham Kirkland, of Bamberg. The marriage, which was a very quiet affair, occurred at the beautiful residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Mark Tone)-, adjacent to town. Only the immediate family and a few intimate friends were pres ent to witness the beautiful ceremony, which was impressively performed by the Rev. Thos. J. Clyde. The bride is the lovely and accomplished daughter of Mr. Mark Toney, one of the most prosperous farmers of this section. Mr. Kirkland is a popular young attorney of Bamberg. The bride and groom left on the 1:40 train via Augusta to Bamberg, their future home, and may the sunshine of happiness ever brighten their life's pathway is the wish of their scores of friends. [Mr. and Mrs. Kirkland arrived iu town last Friday afternoon.] A Sad Death. Alver Bronson, the eight-mouths'-old son of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Reynolds, died hist Thursday night at the home of its grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Jennings, in this city. The burial took place Friday afternoon, at the old cemetery, aud the services were conducted by the Rev. M. W. Hook. This was the only child, and a bright, pretty fellow he was, and his death is a sad blow to the parents. Their man)* friends sympathize with them in their sorrow. New Advertisements. F. \T. YOUNG.

A lifted Young Woman. The Augusta Chronicle says: "ASfiuth Carolina young woman who is remarkrbly gifted is Miss Rayna Rachel Slater, vho has just completed a musical and , literary course at Mount St. Agnes College, Baltimore county, Maryland. Miss Slater, though yet in her teens, graduated ] with two degrees, that of B. A. and B. L. < She was a pupil of Mount St. Agnes for several sessions, aud was prepared for her collegiate course in Orangeburg, S. 0., which city is her home. Miss Slater's i natural talents, combined with steady application and high ambition, have gained ' for her a high staud in her classes, and she will no doubt become one of the lead- < ing literary women of the south." This young lady's father, B. Frank Slater, was born and reared in Bamberg. ; He was a nephew of General F. M. Bam- ] berg, and a brother of Mrs. Geo. A. Jen- , nings. The many friends who cherish ] [lis memory will be prond to see this. ] Marriage Sunday Afternoon. , Mr. C. M. YanOrsdell, Jr., aud Miss j Dot tie Blume were married last Sunday < ifternoon at four o'clock at the heme of j the bride's mother in this city. The cere- i tnouy was performed by Rev. M. W.Hook, j pastor of the Methodist church. The wedding was a very quiet one, only near < relatives of the parties being present. Mr. < YanOrsdell is from Orangeburg, but has lived here for several months past. 1 Mr. W. P. Blume, father of the bride, from Augusta, was here to attend the , marriage, as was also the father of the ;room, Mr.C.M. VanOrsdell, Sr., of Or mgeburg. The friends of the young couple wish them every joy and happi- i uess. . i m , Negro Shot. , Last Saturday afternoon about seven j o'clock people on the streets were startled by three pistol shots in rapid succession, j and a crowd immediately rushed to the scene. It was found that Constable Noel < Padgett had shot Wesley Hutto, a negro. The shooting occurred in rear of J. A. < Spaun's store, and Mr. Padgett fired the ] three shots. On^ hit the negro in the left irm and grazed his side; one struck a 1 horse in the nose, which Hutto was lead- ; ing. Neither the negro nor the horse were much hurt. Marshal Gray arrested Mr. < Padgett and he put up $20 bond. The ? case was heard bv Mayor Hays Monday afternoon. Mr. Padgett plead guilty to the charge of shooting and was fined $10, which he paid. The trouble between Mr. Padgett and ] Hutto was, we understand, in reference to some taxes the constable had paid for the : negro, aud the discussion over this is what ( precipitated the difficulty. The case i will be ventilated in the circuit court, as Hutto has sworn out a warrant for Mr. ; Padgett, charging him with assault and battery with intent to kill. 1 Telephone News. Mr. McCain, general manager of con construction of the South Carolina Long Distance Telephone Company, was in our office Tuesday and gave us considerable information in regard to the exchange here. Mr. McCain arrived here Tuesday morning. He has with him a force of about twenty-eight men, and expects to completely rebuild the exchange here Pi the next two weeks. A new 100-drop switch lx>ard has been put in and the force is now at work on the line. Mi*. McCain says ' this exchange will be made bran new and up-to-date?the old poles and wire will betaken down and all new material will be used. He will also build a new line from here to Denmark, thence to Blackville, where an exchange will be put in, and from there to Barnwell, connecting with the Barnwell exchange. From Barnwell a line will be built to Aiken, which will give us connection with Johnston, Edgetield, Augusta, and Columbia. To Cure a Cold in One Day Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.

Willis, head master at the i Carlisle Fitting School, at Bamberg, has tendered his resignation and will take a course at Vanderbilt university. Prof. H. G. Sheridan, who has had a number of years' experience as a teacher, was elected today in his stead. Prof. Sheridan's father was the first head master of the Carlisle school, when it was established some years ago, and the selection is considered a good one. The other teachers in that institution will be elected by the local board at Bamberg.? The State. Social Entertainment. our fitv has been Quite ffav for the past two or three weeks and many charming entertainments have been enjoyed by the young folks of the town, but last Tuesday evening the season reached its climax when Miss Addis Hays gave her "At Home" in honor of Miss Susan Arnold, of Greenwood. The beautiful residence with its lawn was very prettily decorated, and in the cozy corners might have been seen the sentimental couples taking advantage of the rustic benches which were very evident, nor would I slight the hammock, very artistically placed, which seemed to be quite a rendezvous. At eleven-thirty o'clock delightful refreshments were served to the guests on the lawn, same being almost as daylight with Japanese lanterns. The following are the guests received by our handsome and graceful hostess, assisted by Miss Allie Jennings: Miss Jennie FeldeV and Mr. C. R. Brabham, Jr., Bamberg; Miss Florrie Black and Mr. David Felder, Bamberg; Miss Mabel Brabham and Mr. J. J. Cleckly," Bamberg; Miss Allie Jennings, Bamberg, and Mr. Hazard E.

This town has at last awakened from her lethargy, and is now on on a building boom. Several new and handsome brick buildings are being erected. The two-story brick store of Mr. P. C. Dukes is now being completed. This store will have an attractive iron front. Work has begun on the new town hall. It will be situated on Main street. This building will have two stories; up-stairs will be used for a hall. The ground floor will be divided, into two stores, which have been rented to R. Pearlstine & Sons for a -warehouse. The school building will soon be begun. The town has been bonded for $5,000; of this $4,000 will be expended in the building, and $1,000 for fixtures. In connection with the school there will be an excellent library. This building when completed will be a great addition to the town, as it has been sorely needed for several i years. There is no doubt but that the new school and with a competent corps of teachers will greatly add to the intellectual development of the growing population. Plans have been submitted, and Mr. T. D. Edwards will soon let out the contract for a large and handsome two-story frame dwelling. This building will be constructed in the most modern style and all the improvements to make it a comiortable home. A new brick Methodist* church will soon be built on the site of the present church. Mr. Charles Bruce is erecting a large brick store on Main street. Several buildings have been recently completed, and within the next few days we may hope to learn of several more who will build. Kansas Parler, widow of Dan Parler, who was recently killed by a bucket falling ou him at the coal chute, received a check for $1,000 from the insurance company and is now having built a comfortable dwelling on Pleasant Hill. Mr. O. W. Myers will open a grocery store at the old stand of Mr. B. D.

Misses Mallie and Minnie Patrick, of . Bamberg, were the guests of the Misses ] Reedish last week. i Mr H. W. "Wolfe, of Allendale, spent Sunday in Branchville. Mr. W. D. Baxter, who has been quite ill for the past few weeks, is now slowly convalescing, much to the delight of his many friends, Mr, and Mrs. S. L. Byrd, of Savannah, are on a visit to their parents.

It is said by farmers that labor is so scarce and high, that is the floating labor which they so greatly demand at certain seasons, that a curtailment of acreage seems necessary. The farmers who plant cotton nine times out of ten plant more than they can pick. A curtailment of acreage and the permitting of much land to grow up in timber would be a great advantage; a greater one still if good hard-wood trees like the walnut were planted. This is the view taken by Gov. Aycock, of North Carolina, and not a few other observant men. The Best Prescription for Malaria Chills and fever is a bottle of Grove's Tasteless Chill Tonic.

A public house is one of the last places one would expect to be used as a place of worship. The Inhabitants of Twyford, a village near Winchester, would not consider this at all a novelty, because for several years past the Phoenix Inn has been used Sunday for religious purposes. The room in which the religious services are held will comfortably hold about 200 people and opens at the back on to a pretty, tea garden. The most remarkable feature of the services is that they are often conducted while the public house is open for business purposes, and the customers can join iu the singing if they are so disposed. There are two or throe instances of public houses which have been converted into churches, and there are also two or three theaters which are now places of worship. The Fen district possesses a canalboat church. There are a large number of people who live some distance away from any church, and the canalboat church travels from place to place for the benefit of such folk. The boat will seat a congregation of about 100. The old chapel of ease at Tnnbridge Wells has a unique situation. It stands | In two counties and three parishes. When the clergyman leaves the vestry, he comes out of the parish of Frant of Sussex. If he is going to ofliclate at the altar, he walks into the parish of Tunbrldge, in Kent. If, on the other hand, he Is going to preach the sermon, he walks from the parish of Frant to the parish of Speldhurst on his way tc the pulpit The chapel at Milton Bryant is situated In the village pond. The reason for the selection of this strange site was because no landowner would would grant any other position. The "windmill" church near Reigato Is familiar to London cyclists. Not so familiar is the underground church at Brighton. Owing to some "ancient lights" difficulty, the authorities couM not "build up," and as the site was a good one they decided to "build down." ?London MalL USING HIS WITS. Showing How People Mny Be Guided by Inference. "You see," said the man with the bulging forehead and prominent nose, 11 1? \ A II peopie wouiu ouiy i?e ^uiucu muic by Inference it would save lots of useless trouble." "I don't understand you," said the man who had been tickling a pimple on his chin. "Why, for Instance, I passed a frozen pond one winter day. On the Ice I saw a pair of skates, a boy's cap and a mitten. Out in the middle of the pond the Ice was broken. Did 1 jump to the conclusion that a boy had been drowned and raise a great hullabaloo about It?" * "Of course you did, or else you ought to be prosecuted. You don't mean to say you passed on and said nothing?" "I do," calmly replied the man of the forehead. "I Inferred instead of jumping to a false conclusion." "But you had to Infer that the boy was under the ice," protested the other. "Not a bit of it If the boy had fallen in, the skates and cap and mittens would have gone with him. I simply Inferred that he had seen a rabbit and given chase. I was right too. In the course of five minutes I met him on the road." "Oh, you did! And maybe you Inferred something else." "Of course I did. As he had the nosebleed, I inferred that he had fallen over a log in the chase and got left, and he admitted that such was the case." "Then you ougnt to have wound up the performance by inferring whether It was a u*le or female rabbit" "It wasnt necessary, my captious friend.

For convenience time Is, by historians, usually divided into three ?reat eras?ancient, mediaeval (or middle) and modern. The ancient period is considered to extend from the earliest times down to the fall of the Roman empire in the west in A. D. 47C; the mediaeval from that date to the discovery of America by Columbus in 1492 and the modern from that time to the present Some historians prefer to put the end of the mediaeval period at the capture of Constantinople by the Turks, about 40 years earlier than the Columbus event The dark ages are Dften held to be coeval with the mediaeval era, but some authorities think that the term should be applied only to the part of the era extending from the downfall of the empire of Charletpague, in the ninth century, onward. An Absurd Superstition. A popular belief Is that the sound produced by a little Insect known as a "death watch" portends the death of some relative or friend. That the aoise made by this little creature reBembles the ticking of a watch is undisputed. but that it in anywise foretells the dissolution of a human being Is absurd. Observation has established the fact that these little Insects Infest decaying timber and posts, and that the peculiar noise Is caused by them In gnawing and boring through the rotten wood fibers in quest of food.

Recognized at Washington. The only instance on record of a post office being named after a patent medicine was last year, when in Wetzel county, W. Ya., a new post office was established and named Kodol, after the famous Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, manufactured by E. C. DeWitt & Co., of Chicago. It has given such satisfactory results that the name was unanimously selected by the people for the now office and adopted by the department at Washington,!). C. This action was entirely voluntary on the part of the people of thecommunity, without any solicitation whatever from the manufacturers of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. In fact the first knowledge they obtained regarding the matter was when they received a letter bearing the post mark "Kodol, W. Ya.," and the contents fully explained the circumstances. For a verification of this statement the reader is referred to the latest post office guide. A preparation so highly prized by a community must be worthy of the greatest confidence. * ' Marriage at Denmark. Invitations were issued last week to the marriage of Miss Eola M. Rice, a daughter of Mr. H. C. Rice, of Denmark, and Mr. W. E. Osteen, Jr. The happy event will take place this (Wednesday) afternoon at six o'clock in the Methodist church at Denmark.
