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.

Friday afternoon, at the old cemetery,
aud the services were conducted by the

child, and a bright, pretty fellow he was,
and his death is a sad blow to the parents.
Their man)* friends sympathize with them

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

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.

Carlisle Pitting School.
I Prof. W. E. 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.?

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

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.

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.

SOME CURIOUS CHURCHES.
Consrearatlona Which Meet In Inns,
Windmills and Boats.
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."

"I don't understand you," said the

"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

"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

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."

Historical Divisions of Time.
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.

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.

community must be worthy of the

Experience Teaches Us That It Takes
( Good material, skilled labor, time, brains, and
money to build a good Buggy. A white
pine board with a few coats of paint and
varnish applied looks as well as second
growth hickory, but outside appearances
does not make quality, either in men or buggies.
AYe know that a buggy is better when
plenty of time is given to build it. Our orders
were placed last October for May 1st,
shipment. AYhen .you look at these jobs
they may look just like other buggies, but *
they are better. Plenty of time has been
given for everything. This is of more importance
than you can imagine. They will
be as dry as a bone and ready for business
when the flowers bloom. Yes, the styles are
right, selected by our experienced buyer.
Visit 11s at our renositorv and let us talk it
' - - - " 1 ?/
over with you. ami bring the ladies along.
They may not be a judge of quality, but
they do know something about style. TVc
will appreciate a visit anyway, and will
promise not to bother you about buying unless
we think you are interested. Will have
some novelties that will surely please you.
