To Our Subscribers.
We realize that money is very scarce
and that many of you are in bad financial
condition, but wc want those w ho are indebted
to us to pay at least a portion of
what they are due right away. We need
the money to help pay for new machinery
we are putting into the office, and we hope
every one indebted to the paper will help
us out some. If you can't pay all you owe,
pay what you can. We will be* glad to
receive any amount. Very few owe us,
we are glad to say, but if these few would
settle a portion of their indebtedness, it
would help us very materially.
Fire Monday Night.
Last Monday night a little after eight
o'clock the alarm of tire was sounded.
and it was found that the handsome twostorv
residence of Mr. Louis Seiko on
Carlisle street, next to South-end Cemetery,
was on tire. A large crowd soon
gathered to assist in saving the furniture,
fouit. was seen at a glance that nothing
could be done to save the building, as the
tlnnies had gained too great headway. The
tire originated in the upper story, and its
cause is not known. Mrs. Seiko was in
the house when the tire broke out.
The dwelling of Judge II. A. Kay, next to
the burning house, was in considerable
danger, but by hard work and the liberal
use of water, it was prevented from
catching. Some of the furniture on the
lower floor was saved, l?ut practically all
the contents of the up-stairs rooms were
lost. The furniture belonging to Mr. J.
j II. Dixon, who is now in Orangeburg, was
I stored away in one of the upper rooms,
and no part of it was saved. Whether
there was insurance on it is not known,
but it is thought there was none. Mr.
Selkc had insurance of ?1,000 on the
i dwelling and $0oo on furniture, in the
| Home Insurance Co., represented by G.
Move Dickinson. The house was built a
little over a year ago, and must have cost
$1,000 or more. Mr. Seiko's loss will be
several hundred dollars at least.

Mr. Willie Thomas, near Smoaks, shot
and killed an eagle , which measured 7
feet and "> inches from tip to tip. This
eagle has been killing pigs in that section
of country for the. past ten years. The
way Air. Thomas came upon it was to lay
wait at the pig bed and when the eagle
made its appearance for another hog he 1
opened tire with a breech loading shot
gun. It was the tenth shot brought the
eagle to the ground. Its claw measures 7 j
inches from point to heel. Air. J. F. Fender,
of tins town, is in possession of one
of the claws. - J

Dr. and Mrs. K. C. Roberts returned
home to Allendale last Saturday, after a (
pleasant visit to Dr. J. II. Roberts. t
Miss Lulu Woodward and Miss Delia (

O. P. Folk's last week. g
I must now tell you about the bazaar" ^
and oyster supper on last Friday night. [
It was about C o'clock when the large f
store of Mr. II. C. Copeland, which had ?
been previously decorated with holly, ^
moss, bamboo, flowers, and Japanese lan- t,
terns, was thrown open to the pleasure \
seekens and well wishers of our beloved s
Pastor MeKissiek, for which the proceeds j
are to be appropriated to help furnish the ?,
parsonage. First, we must congratulate c
the good ladies who served on the com- j
mittee for the tasty arrangement of the c
tables, so pleasing to the eye. Second, we j
congratulate all those who took part in c
the cookiug and tendered their boiled c
ham, fried chickens, sweet breads, and
many other eatables too numerous to men* v
tiou here, but which all found a welcome
to the tables where even the dyspeptic t
could appease bis traitorous appetite, j
Out of the large assemblage there were
many sweet and pretty young ladies, and c
one feature of the program was to auction i
off a handsome sofa pillow at 5c a chance
for the prettiest and most popular young i
lady present. Mr. S. W. Copcland acted t
as auctioneer and kept tally while he was n
calling for bids. Capt. J. M. Pannelly *
started it with twenty votes for his wife; i
this was soon met by a young man meeting
his bid and gbing one dollar better in
favor of Miss Mattie Moore. Several <
other bills were paid in; at this point \
Captain Dan nelly withdrew his twenty 1
votes for Ins wife and put them in favor ^
of Miss Addie Jenny. I don't know why j
Captain did this, but expect he thought
Mrs. Dan nelly might be too old to be call- 1
ed a popular young lady. "Well, we won't '
discuss that here, but will go on, for the j
sofa pillow went on by some one raising ]
Miss Jenny's vote one dollar more. Right '
here the fun began. There was raising J
done on both sides from 25c to $5 at a ]
clip. In this case "woman was exerting
more influence over man's mind than
money." The sofa pillow now had begun
to raise like the stock on "Wall street in (
'07, and kept a steady rise until the lofty J
height of $70.05 was reached. The votes '
stood: 004 for Miss Moore and 710 in t
r
favor of Miss Jennv, making a total of
i
1,413. Three minutes were given for more (
votes to come in, but time was counted <
out before it was presented and the con- 1
test was declared closed. Next came a (
cake walk. The order to fall in line was
given, and about twenty couples lined up
at 10c a pair, and the march was started J
to the strains of "Georgia Camp Meeting," ]
which was rendered by Eferhardt string i
band. After marching around the hall 1

The explosion occurred about 2.15 this
morning and many people heard it, but *
paid no attention to it, thinking that some ^
mischievous boy had tired a cannon cracker.
There is no clue at this time that i
would lead to the identification or cap- i

to be going in thedirection of Jaoksouboro,

The Wrong Number. i
The telephone girl and the bill clerk, to
whom she had promised her heart and
hand, were sitting in front of the tireplace
talking about the happy days to
come when they would be one. *
From one little detail to another the <
talk finally drifted to the subject of build- <
ing tires in the morning. On this point =
the young man was decided. He stated
it as his emphatic opinion thal.it was the
wife's place to get up and star: the tires
and let her poor, tired hard-working husband
rest.
After this declaration there was silence
for the space of about three quarters of a
second. Then the telephone girl thrust (
out the finger encircled by her engage- l
ment ring and murmured sweetly but
tirmlv:
"King off, please. You got connected
with the wrong number." j

if what was best aimed at a continual
hwarting of all his intentions, ne
nanaged, however, to bring back the
luilding to its original plan, that of
lis greatest enemy, Bramante, upon
vliom he has left this noble judgment. _
'It cannot be denied," said he, "that
Ftramante laid the first plan of St. Pe:er's
clear and simple, and all who
lave departed from his scheme have
lepartcd from the truth."
We have not the great cathedral as
Michael wished it, nor can we see in
t the creation of his genius* But the
>ne tiling that Michael Angelo left to
lis successors in the work is the cupoa,
whose outline remains as an unparilleled
idea, as important a landmark
n architecture as his other records of
ichievement in painting and sculpture,

vithout seeming to do so. The other ^
lay two herons in the same cage with

leigbborhood of the old pelican, who
tood, apparently asleep, with his big
ill tucked away under a wing. Then
he heron dropped its fi3h, and the batle
went on.
No sooner had it been dropped than
he great bill came out from underneath
the wing and the fish went into
he pelican's pouch. Then the head disippeared
again. The pelican was
lainly asleep.
When one heron gave up the fight
nd flew away, the other looked about
or the prize. It was nowhere to be een.
The keeper of the bird cages solmnly
asserts that he saw a twinkle
n the eye which the pelican opened to
five a glance at the retreating heron.?

A Varnishing1 Tip.
When varnishing wood, the work
nust be done In a warm room at a tem>erature
of at least 75 degrees P. At a
ower temperature the moisture in the
tir will give a milky and cloudy ap>earance
to the varnish. On the other
land, at the higher temperature the noisture
is not precipitated until the
tlcoho! of the varuish has sufficiently
evaporated to leave a thin smooth film
if shellac. The durability and gloss are
lependent on this.
