t Death of a Stranger.
Last Saturday morning Chief of Police
-A. P. Gray was notified that a man either
drunk or sick was lying down on the
< Fitting School campus, and upon going
up to investigate he found the man to be
sick and in a serious condition. He was
brought down town and a physician inil
mediately summoned, but it was too late
1 to save his life aud he died about twelve
o'clock Saturday. The physician says
heart disease was the immediate cause of
his death, but that he was also affected
with serious kidney trouble. The body
was taken in charge by the town authorities
who purchased a coffin and buried the
body in the cemetery Sunday morning.
The man was a stranger in town, having
only arrived here Friday morning.
He was employed the same night at the
cotton mills, as the repairs to the mill
building employed a night force. At
^ twelve o'clock lie complained of being
sick aud unable to work longer and left,
i He was next found on the Fitting School
a campus almost unconscious/ir in such bad
| condition that he could not give any inI
formation about himself. Nobody knew
him or where he came from, ami the only
R clue to his identity was a pay slip from
R the Palmetto cotton mills iu Columbia
hearing the name of "FelixBartholomew."
A large crop of small grain will be
planted in this section.

will be Tuesday, November 4th. (Jet your

The Citadel, Charleston, S. C.,Oct.
12^?Once again the cadets having gotten
down to hard work and realize that for
nine long months pleasure is to receive a
second consideration. It did not take
the upper classmen long to get back in
the old "ruts;" but to the recruits, who
have been accustomed to no restraints, it
has been indeed a hard task. From
"reveille" to "taps"?15J hours?they
must be at work, and have only one and
a half hours for recreation. They must
be up at the lirst sounds of "reveille" and
dress, put up beds and be in ranks before
the drum ceases beating?eight minutes.
Most of the recruits entered the fourth
class, and of those who tried for third,
only recruits Dial, of Laurens, and Hartzog,
of Bamberg, were successful. This
fact goes on to prove how thorough our
course is. Every man, who desires to
enter the academy, must stand a written
examination and must make a pass to
enter. Certificates are taken from no
school or college and a man must be well
fitted to enter.
Much interest it being manifested in
athletics, and we hope to have fine sport
during the year. Tennis, basket-ball, baseball,
and running are the most popular
amusements. We hope, if reinstated by
the State Athletic Association, to put
forth a fine base-ball team. It has always
been a source of much regret to the cadets
that we are not allowed to play foot-ball,
as we have much tine material ana couiu
organize a tine team. Doubtless, however,
it would conflict with the strict military
discipline of the school and, for this
reasou, possibly it is best as it is.
At a receut meeting of the old men, it
was decided to abolish the worst forms of
hazing, and, now uuless a "rat" is exceedingly
"gaulv," he may get along without
any bodily injuries.
The literary societies held their first
meetings last night, and both were well
attended. The Calliopean, founded in
1843, has sent fourth many famous men
and, in order to hold up her reputation,
is very careful in selecting her members.
Only those who have been so fortunate
as to receive an invitation can join.
The Y. M. C. A. holds its meetings
regularly, and is well attended.
The editors of the "Annual" held their
regular weekly meeting last Thursday in
"number seven"?famous for ink?bottle
mysteries, pugilistic contests and rebellions?and
transacted much important
business. Recruits Smith A., Watkius
and Dick were elected b}- their class-mates
to represent the class of '00 (?) on the staff
of the "Annual". We have fine material
in school, and will publish a book which
we hope will at least give the "outside"
world au idea of how we live.
There is much talk already of the
Christmas hop, and many of the recruits,
in order to be allowed to be present, have
begun taking lessons under the dancing
master. C.

A DOMESTIC DIFFICULTY.
The Solution Wax Original, Though
the Rom alt Wan L nliandy.
"Every time I tell this story," a
bright society matron remarked,
"somebody accuses me of making it
up, but it is a true story nevertheless.
"Up in the Virginia mountains David
and I took a long walk to explore the
wild country road near our hotel.
Away up on the rough mountain side
was a little cabin, and as I have a
most fervent human Interest in the
home life of all peoples remote from
cities I proposed that we visit the cab
in, with the wayfarers' usual pretext,
to ask for a drink of water. In the
one room of the small house were the
usual furnishings, a few chairs, many
dogs lying about, guns on the wall, a
high bed in each corner and a homely
table spread with homely crockery in
the center of the household picture. A
plain little woman, worn and aged,
but very neat in calico frock and gingham
apron, met us at the door and
asked us in, while one of the rough
boys lounging on the porch was dispatched
to the spring for fresh water.
"Instead of the usual mountaineer s
open fireplace, with iron crane and
kettles, was a surprising arrangement
of a cooking stove mounted on a kitchen
table. My glance reverted to this
curious sight so often that our mountain
hostess seemed constrained to explain.
" 'You uns ain't used to seeln' cook
stoves fixed up that way, I reckon,'
she said apologetically. Tap, he got
the cook stove down in town way las'
Maj\ and he didn' think 'bout the
stovepipe, and he d:ldil' git 'nuff to
reach up to that there hole in the
chimbly, so we uns jes' h'isted the
cook stove up on that there table til!
he gits time to go to town and git
some more stovepipe. 'Tain't handy to
climb up on a cheer to cook, and I
wish to the land pap'd hurry hisself
and git to town arter that there stovepipe.
It'd be a heap handier to hev
that there cook stove down on the
groun'.'
"Of course 'we uns' agreed with the
good woman that her complaint was
well based, but we praised her cleverness
and originality in utilizing the
kitchen table. Probably not one woman
in 10.000,000 would have ever suggested
that way out of the domestic
difficulty."?Detroit Free Press.
WAVES OF WATER.
For over 1.2C0 miles the Nile does
not receive a single tributary stream.
The Jordan is the crookedest rivor
known, winding 213 miles in a distance
of GO.
The Potomac river is only 500 miles
long and in its lower course is rath?r
an estuary than a stream.
The highest of all navigable rivers is
the Tsangpo, which flows for nearly
I,000 miles at an elevation of from
II,000 to 14,000 feet.
The Indus, the second sacred river of
India, is 1,700 miles long. Its waters
have always been considered almost as
holy as those of the Ganges.
Three rivers as big as the Rhine
would just equal in volume the Ganges,
three Ganges the Mississippi and
two Mississippis the Amazon.
When free from ice, the Yukon river

"My clerical friends In the city tell
rae that so long as their congregations
appear wide awake and interested they
feel encouraged," he said to a visitor,
"but with me it's different.
"Of course I wish to interest the congregation,
but if I look over to Deacon
Drew's pew and then to Deacon
Snow's and see them with their eyes
closed and heads nodding I feel that
all is well. Just as surely as I discover
them wide awake and alert after I've
been preaching for ten minutes I know
that there's something wrong to their
minds and that I shall hear what it is
as soon as the service is over."?

A Wnnk
Stomach
Indigestion Is often caused by overeating.
An eminent authority savs
the harm done thu9 exceeds that from
the excessive use of alcohol. Eat all
the good food you want but don't overload
the stomach. A weak stomach
may refuse to digest what you eat,
Then you need a good digestant like
Kodol, which digests your food without
the stomach's aid. This rest and
the wholesome tonics Kodol contains
soon restore health. Dieting unnecessary.
Kodol quickly relieves the feeling
of fulness and bloating from
which some people suffer after meals,
Absolutely cures indigestion.
