Our patrons were no doubt somewhat surprised to receive their paper a little late last week, as we make it a rule to always be on time, but it was not our fanlt, and was caused by an unavoidable accident. Wednesday of two weeks ago one of the engines at the cotton mill broke down, and the mill was shut down from that day until Thursday morning of last week waiting on a new piece of machinery for the engine. As we get the electric power to run our presses from the mill, of course we could not print until the mill started up. This is why our paper was printed on Thursday morning of last week instead of Wednesday afternoon as usual, ft?$r r Just Recti Car Mr. F. M.

City couucil held a regular monthly meeting last Tuesday afternoon. It was decided to pay Nannie Flinn, a colored woman, $25 for the land used in opening up the new road from the negro Baptist church out towards Mr. E. B. Price's. This land is situated in the corporate limits of the town. The interest on bonds for court house and jail was paid, and one bond was also paid up and retired. Council retires one bond each year.

The following letter from a colored school teacher to one of our county officials makes us wonder how she ever managed to get a certificate to teach school: Branchville, Febe the 25 1902 Dear Sir I Jest thort to call you teanch to 9 made of in peoarten buisen at once I Sen my, School Claim to Mr. R. \V.

The ladies of Greenwood and Spar tanburg, who have been given pieces ol the broken columns on the State house grounds by the general assembly to be used for monuments, will be glad to know that the Southern railway has under taken to transport the pieces of the broken columns, the bases, etc., free ol charge. This is due to the efforts of Railroad Commissioner Garris who interested himself in their behalf and took the matter up with the Southern railway officials. The railroad officials promptly granted the request.?The State. News from Olar. Olar, March 3.?On last Wednesday, i February 27, the S. A. L. civil engineers I came down and established line through our town on the new su<^ey from i Charleston to Augusta. The contractors put right into grading. It will be a week or ten days before they will be at work in full. They will complete the road from Olar to Charleston as they go. Departed this life on February the 27th, after a few days lingering with hemor liagic fever, Mr. W. A. Morris. His remains were interred at the Olar cemetery Saturday morning in the presence of a large crowd. He leaves a widow and two little children and a host of relatives and friends to mourn his departure. Doctors Chitty and McCormack are kept quite busy now, administering medicine to the sick in our little village. They report five cases of pneumonia. We trust that they may all soon be restored to health again. Mr. J. B. Edwards has moved his family to Still well, Ga. "We are sorry to lose Mr. Edwards, but wish for him success. Messrs. M. D. Keid, E. D. Bessinger, E. A. Thain, P. H. Starr, and Capt. W. T. Cave visited Bamberg today. Mr. and Mrs. P. H. Starr visited the Charleston Exposition last week. Ehrhardt Etchings. Ehrhardt, March 3.?Miss May Ehrhardt, our popular milliner, has gone to buy her new spring goods. She is expected to return in a few days. Mrs. Henri Planer and Miss Elizabeth Padgett went to Bamberg Monday. Miss Minerva Chassereau spent Saturday and Sunday with her cousin, Miss Banna Kinard. Mr. Henry Risher has made Ehrhardt his home for an indefinite length of time. He is boarding with Mr. H. C. Copeland in Robertsville. The friends, and especially the "sporting friends," of Mr. J. C. Kinard were very sorry when on last Moud8.y his valuable bird dog, "Jack," was found to be too crazy to be kept any longer. He bad been acting peculiar for several days, but it was hoped that he would get all right. Mrs. W. P. Pate is spending a few weeks with her sister, Miss Florrie McMillan, on Colston. Mr. Jacob Ehrhardt is building a nice little cottage at the rear of his own dwelling. The hands are out working on the streets. They are completing the side walk from Ehrhardt out into Robertsville, which will be quite an improvement. Miss Elizal?eth Padgett, our popular und fashionable dressmaker, is still with Mrs. Chas. Ehrhardt. Mr. Ben Brown was in town the last of the week. A. C. Reynolds had his lot planted in peach trees this week. Dr. Chas. fliers was in town Monday. R.

There is some talk of running the Ehrhardt 'phone system to Folk's Store, which will be very serviceable for the people in that section. Mr. H. C. Copeland is laying a brick walk in front of his dwelling. Roberts rille is on the boom. Ge Col. Conntry Correspondence. Miss Minnie Bessinger, of Spring Branch, was the guest of her aunt, Mrs. Julia Sandifer, last week. Mesdames Benjamin Dewitt and Alice Sandifer spent a few days with the formsr's mother last week at Smoak's. Many thanks to Capt. J. L. Smoak and force for excellent work done on the roads. Mesdames Calvin Fender and Charlie Rentz, of near Ehrhardt, visited their son and daughter Saturday and Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Rentz. Mr. Wm. Bessinger, of Spring Branch, and his daughter, Mrs. D. Smoak, of Lees, spent last Wednesday with his daughter, Mrs. Sandifer, near Springtown. The weather has settled somewhat, especially since last Thursday night. How the wind did blow! We hope la grippe will slight our vicinity this season. So far excellent health prevails. Tragedy at North. A serious fight occurred between two white men at North Monday, in which one man was shot and probably fatally wounded, while the other received fourteen knife wounds, and is in a very dangerous conuiuuu. The parties were J. M. Davis, a farmer, ami C. D. Bates, a bricklayer, who has recently moved there from Atlanta. Davis had employed Bates to build a chimney, and the dispute arose daring the settlement. They went from the house to the sidewalk and there the fuss was renewed and blows followed. Davis opened his pocket knife and cut Bates in 14 places. Five of the knife wounds were in the face and there was one deep and dangerous gash in the side. j Bates drew his revolver, after he had been cut to pieces, and tired one time, The ball entered Davis' left side and lodged in his back. This is considered a fatal wound. Maj. Micah Jenkins has refused to ac cept the sword bought for him by Jim Tillman and a few others. But he is tc be presented with another, with whicl Mr. Tillman will not be connected. Don't look down on the candidate be cause he wears muddy boots; you'll b< able to see your face in 'em after he': elected.

Ie a few moments a crowd had congregated I in order to see the great hero. He and hia wife pleasantly smiled and bowed J and we in return saluted him with adJ miration and enthusiasm. We were soxrj that we could not render him a bettei ovation. If his appearance had been known beforehand, the citizens would i have turned out in full force, but unforII tunately only a small crowd appeared. I *? rn r t? 1: J T-l,? Messrs. i. 1j. reansuiie uuu uuivc v/v.pcland, of Ehrhardt, spent Sunday in town. Mr. Tom expects to make this his home again soon.

An entertainment was given in our unique and splendid hall Friday night, for the benefit of the Baptist church. It was a notable and complete success. Mr. Abe Pearlstine went down to St.. George early Saturday morning. He was informed by telegram of the sad death ol' his late friend, D. H. Behre. He accompanied the body to Walterboro, where it was conveyed for interment. Miss Lamb Mims has returned to her home at Silver, S. C. She not only filled her position completely as stenographer and typewriter for R. Pearlstine and Sons, but also gained the friendship and esteem of all her recent acquaintances. Mr. J. Karesh was today elected as alderman, without any opposition, to fill the unexpired term of Mr. J. M. Tucker. We understand that R. Pearlstine & Sons intend clqsing up their branch store at Ehrhardt in a few days, and unite with their mam house here and thereby increasing their progressive business at one point. Mrs. A Karesh has returned from Camden, where she has been on an extended visit to her daughter. Mrs. H. Schlossbur^. The fishermen have now commenced "sliadding" in general. Nearly every morning these relishable pisces are brought to market for sale, and bring an extraordinary price. Master Sidney Tobisli, of Trenton, N. J., is spending a few days here with his aunt, Mrs. R. Pearlstine. No casualities were reported in the vicinity from the recent, terrific wind. Hermes. The Seaboard Air Line. The construction of the Chattanooga, Augusta & Charleston railroad, a branch of the Seaboard Air Line system, has been begun. The work was started yesterday at Olar, S. C. The Augusta Chronicle printed this morning the following about the construction of the railroad: Mr. Richard Morris, chairman of the citizen's committee of Olar, S. C., turned the first shovel full of dirt at that point yesterday in the construction of the line of road between Augusta and Charleston. Work will be rapidly pusnea irom uiar in both directions, towards Augusta and towards Charleston, and there will be no let up until the work is completed. Mr. W. N. Walmsley, chief engineer and Mr. Heath, assistant engineer to Jlr. John Blair MacAfee reached Olar yesterday morning. After superintending the beginning of the work there Mr. Walmsley goes from Olar over the line to Charleston leaving the force there at work under a competent foreman. Upon receipt of the foregoing information a reporter of the Chronicle called on Mr. James U. Jackson, vice-president of the C. & W. C. railroad company, and he confirmed the news, "It is not generally known, perhaps," said Mr. Jackson, "that ever since the Chronicle announced in November that the contract had been signed up for the construction of this line, a force of hands has been constantly at work grading the line. It has been found that it will be more advantageous to hasten the work to start a force at Olar at which point the Seaboard Air Line crosses the line of the I Augusta and Charleston."

' 1 ( Nutritive Qualities In Them Believed to Be a Brain Food. There are more nutritive qualities 3 hidden In the skins of fruits, cereals ' and vegetables than the average per1 son Is aware of. In fact, the great I bulk of the brain building foods are In i [ the skins of the fruits and vegetables I we eat ! if, as Savarln says, "the destiny of p nations depends on their food," then the destiny, whether a healthy long life or insanity or suicide of every unit 1 of the United States depends on how he f ' or she is fed. I If the breed so much depends upon ' food, why should not every person capable of normal thought seek to procure such food as best sustains his or , her normality? Brain starvation, through the lack of suitable brain and , nerve nourishment in our daily food, is the sole cause of the craving for stimulants to supply, as they do, artificially and Improperly what nature has provided in a natural form in the skin of the grape, which contains the best part of the wine; In the skins of all fruits and vegetables, and If not in the skins of the cereals, haw comes It that stimulating properties are extracted from them, as the inner kernel, the starch, in devoid of anything other than a heat giver? It has beer; proved by chemical analysis and demonstrated by microscopic experiments that the most valuable brain sustaining properties are resident in all s?dns of cereahj, fruits and vegetables, and as an lnstanc6 of the great difference to the heal th resultant from partaking or rejecting the skins here is an incident that occurred in India, as told by an Indian officer: A regiment was stationed in a part of the country where grapes were the chief article of food. The officers, one after another, became so sick as to be j Invalided as unfit for service, but it being considered remarkable that the troops were all well a commission of nro n i noflfnfri/1 H TXT Q Q LUi J uao 1UI71 HUlVUf it ? V IT uu ! found that while every trooper In eating grapes swallowed the skins the officers followed the fashionable habit of rejecting them. It was then ordered that the officers should swallow the ( skins, which was done, with the result I that they immediately recovered. | Thus it will be seen that the skin of i the grape, besides being a brain feeder, I possesses other healthful and nutritive : qualities necessary to the sustenance of ! the human body. The reason why asparagus, cabbage, string beans, lettuce, I spinach and other green vegetables are so wholesome is that the skins are not rejected.?Our Friend. A Tongh Negro.
