An entrance was effected by breaking open a window at the rear of the house with an axe. The robber entered the room where Mr. Bostick and family were sleeping and took the trousers Mr. .Bostick had worn Monday. In the pockets were several articles of value, among them his gold watch and $17 in money. The thief was a cool one, for he carried the trousers into another room and there searched the pockets, leaving Mr. Bostick's office key and a small memorandum book, which were of no value to the robber. No one in the house was awakened, and the burglary was not discovered until the next morning. No arrests have been made, and there is no clue. Enjoyable Evening.

Kistler, a pioneer of Methodism, died at his home near this town, Saturday afternoon, 5.30 o'clock. Around his bed were his entire family and quite a number of friends. For ten days previous to the end, Mr. Kistler was on a rapid decline: physical vitality seemed to have run its last lineage of life support. The messenger of death has called a Soldier of the Cross, whose name will ever be to those who survive him, an exponent of a typical character, of a devout Christian. Fifty years a preacher of the Gospel bears evidence of the life of service the deceased has left behind him. Every nook and corner of South Carolina has in time past heard this gifted preacher. He was a man of wonderful energy. No task, once undertaken by him, was ever given up. until it was a complete success. The abundance of energy displayed in his life was spent wholly for his Master, yet through economy and sacrifice lie has 'left for his family a nice little home. His life is a model to us for its tine type of citizenship, and a model to his Conference for the extraordinary accomplishments of a life of service. Mr. Kistler was a tine conversationalist and possessing the power of narration as j he did, it was a treat to sit down and J talk with him. He had in store a rich supply of humor, pathos and tragedy, which clustered around his recorded in cidents of personal experience. His recollection of early Methodism was in itself a charm to the lover of church history. The unrecorded scenes of the Civil War held spell-hound the inquiring student. Probably no one will ever surpass Mr. Kistler in the rare gift of entertaining children. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. H. B. Browne. The pall-bearers were: Reverends Stokes. Wright, Hook, Beck with, McFarlane ami Mr. Dibble. On account of a very heavy rain, the funeral procession did not reach the church until about seven o'clock Sunday evening. It is to be regretted that the services were so hastily concluded as the occasion promised to be very impressive. The life of the deceased was worthy of all the eulogy his associates could bestow. A large congregation was present. A few moments at the church and the body was j taken to the cemetery. .Tust as the long j procession reached this silent city of the j dead, the sun shot forth its last ray, and j soon all was darkness. The lateness of it he hour made the last moments most I solemn. A great man has passed away and a ; great soul has ascended to its Lord. .T.

July lo.?They have an artesian "well here that beats them all. Last Wednesday the workmen struck water at a depth of 541 feet. They were using a three inch drill. So soon as they could get the drill out and the water cleared itself, they found they had struck a flow of something over 200 gallons per minute, and it will flow above the ground through piping more than forty feet high. This water is as clear as crystal and o? a delightful flavor. Bamberg has been styled the "Artesian City," but she will have to "take in her sign" now, for her little sister, Ehrhardt, gets more water out of her well through a three inch pipe than Bamberg gets through her four inch pipe and her other two private flowing wells combined. Thev are simply in luck, though their efficient Intendant, Capt. J. 31. Dannelly, says his good old grandmother use to tell him that good luck was good management, and bad luck was bad management, and judging from the way the Captain keeps things hustling around him, he must have heeded his grandmother's teaching. These Ehrhardt people are all hustlers and believe in doing nothing by halves. It would have been a good time for any visiting K. of P. to have been with Ehrhardt lodge, No. 98, K. of P. last Wednesday night and seen them confer the first and third degrees. They have only a small lodge of 21 members, but 18 of them were on hand and saw to it that that mysterious goat was in good shape for strangers. G. W. I. Loadholt, J. W. Jenncy, and Esquire J. R. Law mounted him, filled with all the misgivings that belong to a "tenderfoot" in his first experience with a bronco. From the Committee. Ehrhardt, S. C., July 15,1901. Editor Thk Bambero Herald: Inasmuch as Mr. J. A. Chassereau, one of the town council at Ehrhardt, stated in a meeting of said council that the Methodists had held a caucus for the purpose of having the artesian well located near the Methodist parsonage in order to enhance the value of church property, and he has intimated as much in public print; and whereas his reference was to a committee appointed by the quarterly conference of the Methodist church for the purpose of looking after the repairs of the parsonage yard ancl lot, which committee met on the 20th of June, the same day, according to the minutes of the town council, on which the site for the artesian well was selected; therefore, we, the Committee, thus falsely accused, deem it proper and necessary to set ourselves straight before the public. In the beginning we wish to emphatically deny the charge in toto. This committee, as" is shown by the minutes of the quarterly conference, was appointed on the 11th of M&y, before, we are told, Ehrhardt had contracted for a well to be bored. The chairman of the committee called a meeting to be held at the Methodist parsonage on the lltli of June. Two-of the committee only came to the meeting and, as a majority was necessary for the transaction of business, nothing was done, and Thursday, the 20th of June, was appointed by the chairman for another meeting. On that date a majority were present, and partly transacted the business assigned them, and never for one moment discussed, or even entertained the idea of trying to influence the town council, or any person whatsoever, to have the artesian well located near the parsonage. Our pastor, Brother McKissick, expressed to the members of the committee his regrets that the well was going to be put so near the parsonage as the centre of the cross streets where a stake had been driven, and at which place it was said the well would be bored. His regrets were based on the supposition that there would be much loafing around the well, and that profane laguage would be indulged in to the annoyance of himself and family. We consoled him, somewhat, with the thought that if no shelter was placed over the well, around it would be too hot in summer and too cold in winter for much loafing. There the matter was dropped and nothing more said about it in our meeting. Now, since >Ir. Chassereau has so rashly accused the Methodist church through this committee, we demand the proof of his accusation. We defy him to prove that the Methodist church, by fair or unfair means, tried to influence the location of the well near the parsonage or any where else. Until lie- does prove it he stands branded as a falsifier and a slanderer, and the public will be the judge whether the rottenness is in the Methodist church or in Mr. Chassereau. And for the very reason that there are so many men like Mr Chassereau in the world, the Methodist church should not "go out of business." C. F. Rkntz, Chairman, .7. (U Rifoad, .1. F. Jonks, 1>. M.

Intendant Dannelly Takes a Hand. Editor Tiik Hamhkko IIkrald: In vour issue of July lltli "Mr. Chassereau Replies," hut to what he replies is what the most of us are trying to understand, hut in his reply lie makes statements that are calculated to mislead the public mind if a proper understanding of the facts in the case are not had. When we the town council of Ehrhardt, or rather a majority of the council, as one member was out of town, contracted with The Hughes Specialty Well Drilling Co. to bore a well in our town, it was not at a meeting of council, for there are n.? minutes to show that such a meeting was ever had, but it was the understanding then, on Jan. lKth. 1901. that the well was to labored in the middle of the cross streets between Messrs. Kinard, Chassereau, the parsonage and opposite corner lot. When the workmen came to drill the well they asked for the location. Your Intcndant was in Charleston. Mr. I. W. Carter, one of the wardens, was out of town on business, and Mr. T. L. I'earlstine, the councilman who was absent when eon tract was maue. onjecieu u> u ?. mi: j-m in the middle of the cross streets, on the ground that the streets were not wide enough, and that if placed in the middle of the cross streets, and a good tlow obtained, that it would lie unsafe fyr ladies coming in town, as it was calculated to frighten horses that are not used to such. This was on the 20th. Nothing was done towards the well that day, the workmen being busy all day unloading. That night, when all of council came to town, and Mr. Pearlstine's objections were noted, I called the entire council together. Now, right here let me say that this council is composed of one Methodist, two Baptists, one dew, ami one with no religion at all. The location of this well was discussed pro and eon and it was decided by a majority vote to put the well at its present site. Now, it is not good policy to publish speeches made in a council meeting, and I have never practiced it, but after the piece, as written by "Ge Col," appeared in your issue of 4th instant, Mr. Chassereau took exception to it and asked the writer his authority. Mr. Chassereau was then asked if he did not say that "the Methodists had caucused to have that well placed near the parsonage." lie said: "No: I said that it looked to me like it was an understanding between the Methodists to have the well placed near the parsonage, as several of the committee had asked him in person to J use his inlluence to move it from the middle of the street and put it on the corner nearest the parsonage." Now, Mr. Editor, judging from Mr. Chassereau's reply, one would conclude that he is mad, or at least not well pleased, and it is not our purpose to discuss the matter. Head what several of this Methodist committee have to say: I, J. F. .Tones, was appointed at the2nd quarterly conference as one of the committee to look after the repairs needed ! on the parsonage, and met that committee j at the parsonage on that business. Posi-1 tively I did not know until I got there,! that the town of Ehrhardt intended to I have an artesian well bored. I also further state that I heard Rev. McKissick say he rather they would not put the well that close to the parsonage, and I believe he meant what he said. As for me, I rather the well was not there, as I do not care tn i.iilmnr.c its value, as 1 am opposed to selling it. J. F. Jones. See what another says: I, C. F. Reiftz, was appointed chairman of a committee to look after the repairs needed on our parsonage at Ehrhardt, and appointed a day for the rest of the committee to meet me at the parsonage. We met not knowing until we got there and found the men moving their machinery, that the town was going to have a well itored. I heard Bro. Mclvissick say he did not want the well that close to the parsonage. This was said when the |H)st was in the middle of the street. C. F. Rkxtz. Another committeeman talks: I, J. G. Rhoad, was appointed by the 2nd quarterly conference of Ehrhardt charge, which met at Zion church, on a committee to repair the parsonage property. Mr. C. F. Rent/, was chairman of that committee. On Sunday afternoon, the 10th of June, he asked me to meet that committee the next Thursday at the parsonage. I went there, positively not knowing or caring anything about the artesian well at Ehrhardt. On my arrival I asked what all that lumber was in the street for. and Rev. McKissick said it was for the purpose of boring an artesian well, and said it was too close to the parsonage, and wished it was further away. I heard all of the committeemen say they wished it was To or lot) yards from the parsonage, and as for myself, if 1 had any influence, I used it to move the well further from the parsonage. J. G. Riioad. Now, Mr. Editor, these are the facts in the case and if necessary, can furnish affidavit to establish every one of them. I leave it for you and the public generally to say who has circulated contradictory or falsifying statements. J M. Ranxki.i.y. Ehrhardt, S. C., July To, 1001.

I attended a fourth of July picnic at Hendersonville. Colleton county. It was given by the Combahee military company. The most important feature of the day for the gallant militamen were the prize shooting contest and raffle for a saddle and bride. The successful contestants were Messrs. Clarke and MeTeer. Lieutenant C. S. Clarke is one of the finest rifleshots I have ever seen. Mr. James Shorter won the booby prize. The most important feature of the day to me was talking to the beautiful young ladies, of which this section has a large number. The next day (Friday) I took a trip on the Combahee River to see the rice plantations. Was treated very nicely during the warm part of the day by the courteous young manager, Mr. Bagot. From there I took an extended trip through several other plantations, among those visited being that of Capt. I). C. Ileyward, ^who is said to lead the race for governor, in the lower part of the State. The residents of this section arc a hospitable, courteous people, whom it is a pleasure to meet, and I hope to visit them again. S. Ehrhardt, S. C., July 12,11KM.

As evidence of the extent to* which a the ornamental precedes the useful Ex- I plorer Humboldt noted the fact that j the Orinoco Indians in fair weather I strutted about attired in all the finery they were able to 1 rocure, their faces painted gaudily, their heads decked with feathers, their whole aim being to R strike astonishment to the beholder ^ and no regard whatever had for comfort. When the weather was bad, Humboldt found that the same men would doff their clothing and carry it about to save it for display on future sunny days. ? The same traits are seen today in the North American Indians, little modified by many years of intermingling with civilization. That part of Pennsylvania avenue, Washington, running from Second to Sixth street is the favorite promenade of visiting Indians. Portions of Second and Third streets, running off "the avenue, are filled with boarding houses especially patronized by the redskins and especially avoided by the whites in consequence. A number of photographers in the vicinity are the chief attractions of this neighborhood for the aborigines. Xotli ing so delights them as to strut gravely from their boarding houses to these art galleries to sit for solemn pictures at TTnelo Sam's oxnenso. the bill being fi charged in with necessaries incidental m to a visit to the great father. To deprive the visiting Indian of the privilege to sit for his photograph in full paint and feathers and a grotesque mixture of cheap ready made garments with blankets and bear claws would be the greatest hardship possible to tin chieftains. Showing the same disposition Humboldt noted, the visitors get themselves up more barbarously the closer they get to civilization.?St Louis Uepublic. A RARE VOLUME BY PENN. Only Known Copy Is Owned by Qnakern In 1'hiludclphin. The only known copy of Penn's issue of "Magna Charta," published in H587 r by the Bradford Press, is the property I of the Meeting For SuHerings, a repre- y sentative body of the Friends' yearly meeting iu Philadelphia. Its title is "The Excellent Privilege of Liberty and Propriety; Being the Birthright of ? the Freeborn Subjects of England." _ The copy is not generally open to the | public. The peculiar significance of this book is that a half dozen years after Penn founded his colony he wished to have the colonists keenly realize that they would have to stand for their rights in the new country as well as the old. where they had been so cruelly persecuted. lie wrote this book in order that they might be informed on the constitution of their local government and I I i-nnir wlmt wpre the leiral bases of * their rights as citizens. Curiously enough the only proof there is that this work was William Penn's is the statement made by Chief Justice David Lloyd in 1728. a great Quaker leader who was Fenn's attorney general at the time the book was Issued. Chief Justice Lloyd was also at that time an intimate friend of William Feun and consequently knew whereof lie sjioke. The volume was reproduced in facsimile by the Fhilobiblon club in 1SP7 m for a limited number of subscribers, i The original volume, however, must al- I ways remain the rare thing that it is, S one of the best expressions of liberty under law that the mind of the great ^ founder could conceive.?Philadelphia Press.
