EHRHARDT ETCHINGS.
A Rudget of Interesting News from
the R rowing Little City
of Elirhardt.
Eiirhardt, April 15.?While I)r. J. L.
Copelanil was hitching up his horse last
Thursday, the animal became frightened
and made a few plunges forward. Tiie
Doctor lost his hold and the horse being
I of active mind and body soon discovered
he was minus a driver, and with maddening
strides passed through town. Proprietors
and clerks rushed to the doors
and amid their cries and efforts to stop
him he exercised an effort to increase his
speed as though they were cheering him |;
on. A moment later the scene was over ,
and only a cloud of dust in the distance ;
marked the way in which he was last <
seen moving. Dr. Copeland got on ]
another horse and started to run the run- ]
away down. Dr. J. P. Roberts and A. C. ]
Reynolds joined in the chase with Dr.
Roberts's pair, which had just been j
hitched up for a drive down the country. ]
The trail of the runaway was easily kept t
by the liberal distribution of bottles of <
medicine, surgical instruments, and other t
articles belonging to the medical profes- t
sion scattered along the road side. As \
we passed Mr. Washie Hughes's we saw 0
him standing by the road side. He in- c
formed us that the chase had been joined I
in by several farmers, who had thrown r
the harness from their horses in the field
and fell in behind the runaway, which
bad passed there only about ten minutes
previous at a slowing up rate of about ^
three minutes to the mile. On we traveled, s
and as we were coming out of Saltke- f<
liatchie swamp we met those who had
taken the lead in the chase returning
with the runaway with not a thing broken.
Here Dr. Copeland and your humble
scribe got in the buggy of the runaway
ind headed the procession back to Ehr- a
liardt. Mv! how we did come. I first
" - - - . . r r
?ot dizzy and tlien icit a sngnt loucn oi
>ea sickness, and when wc were safe back v
in Ehrbardt I took out my watch and
"ound we bad been gom 28 minutes and ^
v
covered ten miles of road.
ANOTHER Rl'XAWAY. J\
On last Tuesday Mr. II. C. Copeland's p
lorse ran away from what is known as v
be old Jeff Copeland place, which is ^
ibout four miles from town. While the
lorse was a good runner lie was not as
?afe on the public highway as I)r. Copeand's
horse, for he ran into and demol- v
' r
shed the rear end of a buggv which was
" n
Iriveu by Mr. and Mrs. II. C. Ivirkland. p
VIr. Kirkland held on to his horse and a
>vas not otherwise damaged. The runaV
ivay in this case was hitched to a light
jersey wagou and brought the two front p
wheels and shafts to Ehrbardt and was b
stopped by a crowd of men at the arte- ^
>ian well. ! *

ANOTJIER R AT Lit OA O. ^
The Seaboard Air Line officials visited ti
Ehrhardt a few days ago and agieed that o
if the town would give them right of way a
)f ten miles and site for depot, with five
;housand dollars, that they would guaran;ee
the road to be brought by this place a
ind would not exact any money until the
road reached here. In response to this
proposition, Capt. J. M. Dannclly headed r
die list with two thousand dollars and ?
two miles of the right of way; Copeland &
Dannelly subscribed one thousand; J. D.
Quattlebaum three hundred dollars. It is
tioped that others may subscribe as liberally
as these public spirited gentlemen.

Bkaxchvii.i.k, April 12.?The Branehville
graded school will send a delegation
of students to Charleston and the Exposition
on Tuesday, April 15. The interest
taken by other schools has aroused Prof.
J. B. Henderson to induce the scholars to
charter a special coach. The railroad
company has reduced the fare to a comparatively
nominal sum and many others
besides the school children will attend.
In fact the visitors from this place will
till two coaches.
The President received hearty cheers
here on his way to Charleston last Tues- |
day morning. The depot was artistieal- ,
ly decorated with national bunting, and
the President appeared on the rear plat
form and spoke to the early rising throng
as follows: "This is my first trip through
South Carolina ami I beg of you to excuse
me for not making a speech, as I only
arose to thank you for }'our welcome
greetings."
Branehvillc deems it an honor to he the
first town in the State that President
Roosevelt uttered a few words to the
mblie while cn route to Charleston.
On his return the train was met at the
'coal chute" by two dozen or more small f
joys with flags and the President was
leartily cheered again. Fully one half of ~
lie population welcomed him, and he was I
ibliged to address the crowd. He said:
'I certainly enjoyed myself and was cnertaincd
royally in Charleston." Just
hen a voice rang out, saying: "We
vanted you to come and appreciate your
oming, for we knew you would be treatid
royally."
Just as the train was departing Mrs.
toosevelt appeared and impressive cheers aug
in the air. J

The Florida special passing Denmark

articular attention being given to them
i the meantime.
Tuesday night it was thrown off the
tiecial as usual, but when the train
ands looked for the pouches to put
tiem on the Augusta train yesterday
lorning they were nowhere to he found.
A search was instituted and the bags
rere found a short distance from the Denlark

one.

he maxim upon which this particular
