Several counties in the State are making efforts, through their leading citizens, to have the school children visit the Charleston Exposition one day. It is a most ^ creditable undertaking. Every child in 'South Carolina should see the Exposition. It will be worth more to them than many months of stud}'. , An election was held in Yorkville last Friday on the question of dispensary or no dispensary, the town having been "dry" for years. The advocates of the dispensary won by a vote of 96 to 75. It is a signifiant fact that the few counties in this State where there are no dispensaries, are situated on the North Carolina border. : It begins to look like it would pay the | insurance companies to build water worKs f. - in Bamberg at their own expense. If we liad had a water system here the store of Mr. Thos. Black o*>uld have been saved I last Wednesday night, and we believe many of the lire losses of recent years could have been averted or at least the . damage materially reduced. The insurance companies have paid for losses in the past five years in Bamberg more than enough, by several thousand dollars, to build and equip a water system for the town. Charleston is certainly getting to be something of a "warm" town. It is said that city will endeavor to have the Jeffries-Fitzsimmons prize fight take place there. The old town is certainly getting to be run on the "wide open" plan these ; days, but we hardly think the State au-1 thorities would allow a prize fight to take place in Charleston. But then we don't know about that either. The dispensary law is violated there in the most open and flagrant manner, and we are not sure but that the governor would allow the pugilistic event to be pulled off there, for he likes to help out the old city. We have just received a copy of the annual report of the State Superintendent of Education. In looking over the statistics for Bamberg county we notice what we believe to be a discrimination in favor I of one district, which gets the lion's share of all monej' for school purposes. This is the Denmark school district. Of the * - constitutional three-mill tax Denmark - district received last year $1,130.70; :./ Bamberg district received $730.95. The x? - amount for Denmark was nearly onefifth of the total collected in the county. ; Now we know that this tax is apportion V ed according to enrollment of pupils in ipt each district, so we will note the figures of each. Bamberg reported white pupils 208; negro 350. Denmark, white 192; negro 568. Thus Denmark reports more negro pupils than the combined number of white and negro in Bamberg. How is - - it possible for Denmark to return more 1 | than one-fifth of the negro enrollment of the county? The fact is there is located at Denmark a school called the Denmark Industrial school, a private school, receiving aid from the North and getting its pupils from all over the country. It is not a public school in any sense, yet its ^ enrollment is counted in with that of the ] jj&| public school of the district. About $900 i collected in Bamberg district goes to < schools out of the district, while Denmark gets practically every dollar paid in hers. fj ^his big negro enrollment enables her al- : r so to get the greatest share of the dis- : pensary fund. Small wonder that she < dan have eight or nine hundred dollars i ^ - left over each year. This is not an inl justice only to Bamberg district, but to : j every school district in the county, for if ? this padded enrollment was cut off there |! would be over $600 more each year to < ill be apportioned to the schools. * fc.. - ^ South Carolina at the Exposition, i The Exposition at Charleston seems to be attracting a great deal of attention tfrom the people of the country at large. ( Cincinnati and Chicago have sent large delegations there to inspect the show. The governors of Georgia, West Virginia, j ' Indiana have been there with their staffs I I j i _ 11 . 1 juiu oiuers anu an seem 10 uuue on oue , verdict, that it is as creditable an Exposition as any held in this country. The legislature of South Carolina and the governor of the State, have given. < their endorsement to the Exposition and urged that the people of the State visit > the Exposition at least once, and have . named March 20th as South Carolina day, . h. with the idea that there should be a grand rally of South Carolina on the ( ' Exposition Grounds on that day. It is South Carolina's first attempt to show to the country at large, the industries, resources and possibilities of the State. They have been well displayed. ] Let us all go, and by our presence show an appreciation and interest in what has ! fepvt' been done. '{/ Wedding Hells in Colleton. N.

G. and Mary Rentz, and was born November 4th, 1860. She was happily married to O. G. Rhode the 31st of October, 1877. She was the mother of ten children, of which six are living, three sons and three daughters; four are grown. She was of a Baptist family and joined that church when young. She remained a member until about fifteen years ago when, raising a family with the mother in one church and father iu another, she thought it best for both to be in the same church, so she joined the Methodist church at Zion of which her family were members, until three years ago when they moved to Buford's Bridge and their membership was then at Mizpah. This winter Mr. Rhode moved back to his old home. Mrs. Rhode was a good woman, a kind mother, a loving and devoted wife. She loved her nroflnhpr and rhnrch and Sundav-school: her seat was always filled unless providence hindered. Last fall her health began to give way and it was thought if she could get back to the old neighborhood she would soon recover. She improved for awhile when she began to fail. Leucemia, the disease with which she was attacked produced hemmorrhage of the brain which took her away on January 16th, 1902. On the day following she was burried at Zion church, the new church, [t is hard to give our loved ones up but God's ways are not man's ways, neither His thoughts our thoughts, so we bow in humble submision to His will, knowing that He does all things for the best, knowing that our loss is her eternal gain. She was unconscious at the last so she left no dying testimonial. She died apparently without pain, her head leaning on Jesus' breast. She breathed her life out sweetly there. It reminded me of a lamp with the ail all burned out: the light grew dim md dimmer until it finally went out without a struggle or move of muscle. 'Mother, thou wast mild and lovely, Gentle as the summer breeze, Pleasant as the air of evening. When it floats among the trees. Peaceful be thy silent slumber, Peaceful in the grave so low, Thou no more will join our number, Thou no more our songs shall know. Dearest niothei', thou hast left us, Here tliy loss weueepiy ieei. But 'tis God that liast bereft us, He can all our sorrow heal. Vet again we hope to meet thee, When the day of life is fled. Then in heaven with joy to greet thee, Where no farewell tear is shed."

Dr. John Henry Barrows, president of Oberlin college, who formerly 1 preached to a Chicago congregation, tells ( a little story concerning an experience of j. his own that may be worth passing along. 1 It was at the time that Dr. Barrows was making arrangements for the holding of the great congress of religions here. He i had an immense correspondence to take J care of, and found it necessary to employ J a stenographer. The young lady was pretty. It is not to be inferied that there are any but pretty lady stenographers, but the one employed by Dr. Barrows was especially comely. i The doctor fitted up a workroom on 1 the third floor of his house, where he and the stenographer toiled hard day after ( day, undisturbed by callers and well away i from the noises of the streets. The work of preparing for the congress was still going forward on the 14th of February, when the doctor's little son be- * came excited over the sending and reeeiv- ; ing of valentines. The boy hail been run- 1 niug about the neighborhood handing love tokens to the children he knew and many had come to him, when he remembered that he had a father up on the third floor, in addition to the One in heaven. Going to his mother, he proposed that they send up a valentine. "Well," said Mrs. Barrows, "it is very nice of you to remember father. How would it do for me to write a valentine for him and let you take it up?" The boy was delighted at the idea and his mother wrote upon a sheet of paper: t "Please kiss the bearer." 1 This she placed in an envelope, which t was properly sealed and addressed to the < doctor. The boy started up stairs with ? his valentine, but he had been running 1 around a good deal during the morning , and his legs were weary. When he had \ reached the second floor he met the pretty ( stenographer, who had started out after ' postage stamps or something, and asked [ if.she would not be kind enough to hand j the note to his father. She took the envelope, gave the child a pat on the cheek and ran back upstairs, ] where?nerhans nroniDted bv feminine curiosity?she waited while Dr. Barrows i. opened his valentine and read, in his | wife's handwriting: t "Please kiss the bearer." t Here is where Dr. Barrows always cuts ( the story off.?Chicago Record-Herald. ' Danger of Colds and La ttrippe. j The greatest danger from colds and la < grippe is their resulting in pneumonia.

I). Duke, at f his home, 24;> South Laurel street, last . evening shortly after G o'clock. ? The shooting was accidental, and while ' Mr. Duke is wounded very painfully, the physician says he is not dangeronsly hurt. Mr. Duke was engaged in cleaning a 1 rifle for one of his i)oys, and his heavy 1 Colt's revolver, that is such a terror to prowlers upon the property of theCliesa- r peake and Ohio, lay in a chair back of c Ti> cn.no wiv lw> L-nneked this wean on from the chair and upon striking the t floor it was discharged. c Mr. Dnke was standing up at the time and the ball entering his left leg coursed ' upward in the most remarkable way a 1 bullet has ever been known to take. "Going in and out like a weaver's shuttle, it made seven wounds and finally ended its 1 career by striking something in Mr.Duke's pocket and falling down his trouser's leg f to the floor. For the Complexion. The complexion always suffers from biliousness or constipation. Unless the t bowels are kept open the impurities from t the body appear in the form of unsightly eruptions. De "Witt's Little Early Risers keep the liver and bowels in healthy condition and remove the cause of such troubles. 0. E. Hooper, Albany, Ga., c says: "I took DeWitt's Little Early P.sers ^ for biliousness. They were just what I * needed. I am feeling better now than in a years." Never gripe or distress.

' a Uncle Sam's paper money has Its c irtli in the bureau of engraving and rinting in Washington. Ilere a corps v f engravers cut its linos into plates a f steel. Five hundred men and worn- * a are in one room. It is the largest ^ tinting oliiee in the world. Here are t :ruck from these plates the notes hieli we give the butcher and the tiker. Each steel plate when not in L-tual use is stored away in a great 1 urglar proof vault to which only the r igliest officials know the combination. n t the side of each printing press is a ^ tt e indicator like a bicycle cyclomet, which keeps tally of every piece of > [iper money printed. Thus is Uncle e am kept informed as to the exact 1 umber of paper notes of all denomi- J: titions which leave his presses daily. ^ If there is any secret which Uncle ( am jealously guards, it is the process f manufacturing the fiber paper upon hich his money notes are printed, [e pays a Massachusetts firm a big 1 rice for it, and this firm does its work v nder the surveillance of a govern- 1 lent agent. The paper is manufac- c ired of the finest rags, cleaned, boiled e ad mashed into pulp. As it is rolled j ito thin sheets silk threads are introuced into it by a secret process, hese are the distinguishing marks c inking imitation of the paper well ; igh impossible. The sheets of paper, already counted vice and placed in uniform packages c L the paper mill, are stored in a treas- ^ ry vault and issued to the bureau of igraviug and printing as wanted. Be>re leaving the treasury they are >unted three times more, and the re- 1 iiving official at the bureau must re- c iipt for them.

Then a ley are sealed in packages of 1,000, laced on racks in a drying room of 10 degrees temperature, unpacked, loroughly examined, smoothed in jwerful hydraulic presses and packed i wooden cases.
