THURSDAY, December 4, 1902.
In the annual conference of the Methodist
church over in Georgia last week, a
resolution condemning the use of tobacco
by ministers was laid on the table without
much discussion. So it seems that
there are some tobacco chewing preachers
in Georgia a? well as South Carolina.

proposition. Let those who will be benefitted
by such an exhibit pay for it.
When the legislature wanted to appro priate
about two' hundred thousand dollars

will have to be increased. There
is something we cannot understand about
this, but we do not look for any plausible
or reasonable explanation.
The recommendation of the grand jury
as to reduciug the number of township
commissioners seems to us wise and in
the interest of economy and possibly
better service. The townships in this
county are small, and there is no reason
why one man could not properly look
'after the affairs of one township. Paying
a stated salary is also wise, for we do not
: believe it is the best policy to pay per
diem and mileage. It is no doubt true
that the commissioners earn every cent
they receive, bnt with a stated salary, the
estimate for county expenses can be
> arrived at with more cbrrectness.
/: The Ariel Quartette.
The four young ladies composing this
fe1 company appeared at the Fitting School
chapel last Saturday evening and the
program given was really a high class
performance. The vocal solos and quarv
tettes were good, the recitations were
well rendered, and the violin playing
pleased the audience thoroughly. The
BBa plastique poses were also much enjoyed.
Really, all the young ladies are artists in
- their line, and the delight of the audience
r; , with their performance was "attested by
frequent and hearty encores. TheJapan'
mp fan drill and* love sony in costume
was a clever number, and was something
i . out of the usual in such entertainments.
Those of our people who did not -attend
missed a delightful evening, and it is to
? . be regretted that the attendance was not
? larger. It is probable that the course of
entertainments arranged for the winter
will be discontinued on account of the
poor patronage.

Rnnf Paint.
Mr. W. T. Mixson, of Charleston, is iu
: - town, introducing his celebrated "grapliifite"
roof coating. Mr. Mixson is no
stranger in Bamberg, having been manager
for Baldwin Garvin when that firm
first opened their tinning and roofing
business here in 1891 in the store now
"occupied by the Dowling Hardware Co.
He has made a study of roof paints, and
has been experimenting with them ever
.since that time, and claims that "graphilite"
is as near perfection as it is possible
to make a roof coating. He does not sell
his coating, but carries a crew of painters
with him and has it applied under the
direction of a man who is thoroughly
skilled in the art, and allows no chance
of adulteration by either dealers or paint.
ers. The fact that the Southern Railway
| Co. has adopted his coating for use exclusively
in its Southern territory should
be sufficient proof that it is a good thing,
and we bespeak much success for him in
||jp|' his old home. *
Some of the small boys who get into a
business life young can be relied upon
for good common Sense. A man in one
of the big shops up town was much
ip pleased at this attribute in a boy he employed.
He was a bright, honest boy,
quick and reliable, and when a second
v boy was needed they sent for Sam.
c|. , Couldn't he get them a boy ? They wanted
a boy as good as lie was, and he must
?S know of one. After some thought he
K finally agreed to send one, and the next
p'' day the boy arrived, and Sam was called
E- to identify him.
"Do you know this boy, Sam ?" asked
r me employer.
C "Yes," answered Sam; "I know him."
f|?N "And you know him to be a good,
^ honest boy?"
"I have played with him all my life and
3^- I have always thought he was."
V... "But will you vouch for him '^" persisted
the employer.
"No," answered Sam, indignantly; "I
won't vouch for any one. I wouldn't
vouch for my own brother. How do I
know what temptations you are going to
put before him ?"?New York Times.
She was inclined to be sentimental.
He was nothing if not practical.
"Would that y??u could tell me how to

That was the remedy tried in thi>- case.

necked dress. His holiness disapproved
of the costume so strongly that he sent a
-cardinal to remonstrate with the wearer.
The messenger made this rather ambiguous
explanation: "The Pope, my dear
madam, is rather old fashioned, you know,
and disiikes seeing any lady in evening
dress. I, on the other hand, who have
spent six years of my life as a missionary
?mong cannibals, am quite used to it."

THE PICNIC AT LODGE.
It Was An Enjoyable Occasion?Gov-1
ernor Hey ward's Speech.
|Tiie Walterboro Press ami Standard.] j
The alitor <>f the Press and Standard j
experienced the pleasure <>1' spending last !
Saturday at Lodge 111 attendance upon a
picnic given under the management of
the members of the .Masonic order in that
prosperous community.
Many years ago, in what was then a
wilderness, Hope Lodge was established
and later when the railroad came and the
wishes of all were, to a great extent, real- j
ized the word Hope was dropped, but one
is not to infer from this that the thrifty
people who make up this community artliving
without hope of accomplishing
great things in the future. Lodge now
has four general merchandise stores and
an up-to-date millinery establishment of
which Miss Sallie Owens, an attractiveami
accomplished young lady, is the proprietress.
For many miles in every direction
around Lodge are fertile farms. Among
them may be mentioned A. -T \V. Cone,
P. L. Carter, G. L. Carter, J. M. Fender,
J. 11. Carter, H. \V. Carter, Abe Bennett, i
H. A. Cummings, L. H. Stanley, F. W.
Stanley, .James Richardson and Dr. C. M.
Hiers.
Farming lands are worth from $8 to j
$20 ver acre. They are specially adapted j
to the raising of cotton, and a great deal
.\f ti?n stnnlp is aniinjillv shinned I
from Lodge. Speaking generally, the
farmers are well-to-do and a more hospitable
people are not to be found in the
State.
The municipality of Lodge is well governed.
Mr. L. J. .Tones is the intendant.
He is also postmaster, a successful farmer
and proprietor of the leading hotel. The
wardens are J. J. Thompson, T. P. Johnson,
E. E. Jones and B. R. Bennett.
Lodge has a flourishing School. Forty
pupils are enrolled. Mr. W. W. Cone is
the efficient teacher. The term is ten
months.
A large and handsome church building
recently erected"by the Methodists, affords
a sanctuary where saint and sinner assemble
to worship. The Rev. Mr. McKissiek,
who is, corporeally at least, the largest
member of the Methodist Conference, is
the pastor.
A dispensary, conducted by Mr. Frank
Folk, supplies all the"0-be-joyful" which
the community desires.
Mr. A. B. Bennett owns and operates
a brick manufactory which is capable of
moulding sixty briek a minute.
But the greatest thing of which Lodge
can boast is an artesian well, which produces
from a depth of 720 feet a steady
stream of 170 gallons of pure sweet water
per minute.
Like all other progressive communities,
however, Lodge wants several things
which it does not now possess. Among
these is a first-class depot. The freight
agent, Mr. J. C. Smoak, performs his duty
faithfully aud. well, but a new depot has
become a necessity and high hopes are
entertained that a desirable building will
soon be erected by the railroad authorities.
The citizens of Lodge are also^dis
satisfied with their mail schedule, l'hey
only get their mail once a day, and then
about 9 o'clock at night. Ehrhardt, the
terminus of the railroad, is likewise dissatisfied.
If the Coast Line would rrn a
train up there in the morning and return
in the afternoon, these people would, no
doubt, be well pleased.
The present officers of the Masonic
lodge are as follows: C. A. Walker, worshipful
master; C. E. Walker, senior warden;
Joe Smith, iunior warden; J. W.
Miley, treasurer; \V. A. Smith, secretary;
James Goodwin, senior deacon; C. J.
Ulmer, junior deacon; H. W. Carter, tiler;
A. J. W. Cone and P. L. Carter, stewards.
The main features of the picnic was an
address by the Hon. D. C. Heyward. Before
he was introduced, however, the
Masons met and elected officers for the
ensuing year. .Only two changes were
nade, these being the election of Mr.
Miley as worshipful master and Mr.
Walker as treasurer.
Capt. Heyward's speech was devoted
principally to an exposition of the origin
aud teachings of Masonry. The audience
of 800 or 1,000 listened attentively and
all were delighted to have the next Governor
of South Carolina as a guest on
this occasion.
At the proper time an elegant dinner,
plentiful, and served in true picnic style,
was spread.
Of this happy occasion much more
might be appropriately written and of the
community columns might be penned in
praise, but let this suffice:
The maidens are sweet as the roses they
twine,
And ail save the spirit of man is divine.
Col. Mike Brown's Dinner.
News comes from South Carolina that
Col. Mike Brown, of Barnwell, sued a
railroad company for damages for an injury
sustained by his wife. The jury
gave him a verdict for $o,l(>0, and to
show his gratitude Col. Brown got up an
elaborate supper, to which he invited the

Those who did were lacking the
wisdom and good taste of those who did

shown his appreciation would have been

Saved at Grave's Brink.
"I know I would long ago have been in
my grave/' writes Mrs. 8. H. Newsom, of
Decatur, Ala, "if it had not been for
Electric Bitters. For three years I suffered
untold agony from the worst forms
of indigestion, waterbrash, stomach and
bowel dyspepsia. But this excellent
medicine did me a world of good. Since
using it I can eat heartily and have gained

Col. Brown Explains.
The clipping which we publish in
another column from the Charlotte Observer
in reference to a supper given by
Col. Mike Brown, of Barnwell, to the
members of a jury who had returned a
verdict in favor of his wife and against a
railroad, was first published in the News
and Courier, and Col. Brown writes the
following explanation of the alFair;
To the Editor of The News and Courier:

see your paper containing a quotation

Mark Twain's First Money.
While .traveling recently Mark Twain
was asked by a friend and fellow-passenger
if he remembered the first money he
had ever earned, savs the Baltimore
Herald.
Yes," answered Mr. Clemens, putting
meditatively on his cigar. "1 have a distinct
recollection of it. When I was a
youngster, I attended school at a place
where the use of the birch rod was not
an unusual event. It was against the
rule's to mark the desk in any manner,

chastisement.

occasion 1 was offered the alternative. I
told my father and, as he seemed to think
it would be too bad for me to be publicly
punished, he gave me the $5. At that
period of my existence .$5 was a large
sum, while a whipping was of little consequence,

A Missouri editor, going away, left a
minister in charge of his paper. A day
or two later a letter from a "wayback"
subscriber came, which read:
"You know d?n well I paid my subscription
the last time I was in Lexington.
If I get any more such letters I will come
down and maul h? out of you."
The minister answered:
"I have been trying to maul that thing

SOOTHING SHOPPING.
A Peaceful Experience at the East
Xorley Geiierul Emporium.
The exhausted shopper sank upon
the sofa, while from the open mouth
of her reversed Boston bap poured a
cascade of little parcels, freshly struggled
for at the "Monday bargain counters.
"Oh," she cried, "why does one have
to shop in the city? Everything is so
hurried, confused, complex, distracting
and nerve destroying! If I were only

"Last summer while I was there I
had to buy a yard of dark blue ribbon,
and I drove over to the one store at
the crossroads to get it. It took some
five minutes to convince the amiable
proprietor that I really wanted dark
blue and could not be persuaded to accept
light instead, which he considered
more suitable and becoming to a fair
complexioned person of my years; ho
added reassuringly that anybody under
forty was not too young for baby blue.

and his final ascent to the dim and
dusty upper region, whence the box of
wide ribbons was at leugth produced.

he leisurely measured off a yard, fingered
it, then paused to rub a perplexed

HE WAS A PAINTER.
A Drnnkcn Prisoner'* Kxense In a
New York Police Court.
It is characteristic of almost all the
prisoners except the drunks that their
chief concern is to secure a delay. They
plead and beg for an adjournment,
which they know will only postpone
the inevitable for a day or two, and
that although, through their inability
to obtain ball, they will have to stay in
prison just the same. The most plausible
explanation is that they all are
fatalists, always hoping that something
unexpected may turn up to stave off
the impending catastrophe. The
drunks, on the other hand, are more
eager to face the arbiter of their fates,
knowing that nothing worse than a fine
is likely to befall them and that the
sooner it is imposed the sooner it may
be paid or served off. And then there
is the chance, If the maglstrffc' is in
good humor, that they may get away
unscathed at once.
As a rule, although not seldom still
in their cups, they are loath to make
any incriminating admissions. "No,
sir," protested a man who kept himself
from falling over by holding on nervously
to the bar; "I'm not drunk,
'cause no one's drunk who's not falling
all over himself." Excuses of the most
wonderful kind, some of them really
ingenious, others merely ridiculous, are
put forward when the futility of feigning
innocence has been discovered. The
cleverest explanation of that kind that
I ever heard was advanced by a man
who, when taxed with having displayed
unmistakable signs of Intoxication,
simply replied that he was a
painter by trade.
"That has nothing to do with your
condition," said the magistrate.
"Of course It has," rejoined the prisoner.
"I was painting a barber pole
and kept on twisting after the stripes
until I got so dizzy that the cop thought
I was boozy."?Edward Biorkman In

HE WORKED THE BANKER.
How a Clever Merchant Killed Two
Blrda With One Stone.
Recently a wealthy merchant In Paris
who does an extensive business with
Japan was informed that a prominent
Arm in Yokohama had failed, but the
name of the firm he could not learn,
though he was most anxious to ascertain
whether it was the one with which
he did most of his business In that city.
He could have learned the truth by
cabling, but instead he went to the
man, a well known banker, who had
received the news and requested him
to reveal the name of the firm to him.
"That*b (k very delicate thing to do,"
replied the banker, "(or the news Is
not official, and 1( I gave you the name
I might Incur some responsibility."
The merchant argued, but in vain,
and finally he made this proposition:
"I will give you," he said, "a list o(
ten firms in Yokohama, and 1 will ask
you to look through It and then to tell
me, without mentioning any name,
whether or not the name of the firm
which has failed appears In it Surely
you will do that for me?"
"Yes," said the banker, "for If I do
not mention any name I cannot be held
responsible In any way."
The list was made. The banker
looked through It and as he handed it
back to the merchant said, "The name
of the firm which has failed is there."
"Then I've lost heavily," replied the
merchant, "for that Is the firm with
which 1 did business," showing him a
name on the lj^t
"But how do you know that is the
firm which has failed?" asked, the
banker in surprise.
"Very easily," replied the merchant
"Of the ten names on the list only one
is genuine, that of the firm with which
I did business. All the others are fictitious."
Two Imposalble Men.
Dr. Hausllck once asked Schumann
how he got on with Wagner.
"Not at all," replied Schumann; "for
me Wagner Is Impossible. Doubtless
he Is a very clever man, but he talks
too fast?one cannot get a word In."
Some time after, In an Interview
whtoh PTnuall^lr hnri with Woimor nl.
lusion was made to Schumann.
"With Schumann," said Wagner, "it
is impossible to arrive at on understanding.
He says nothing. Some
years ago on my return from Paris 1
called upon him to talk of operas, concerts,
composers and other interesting
matters with which I had become acquainted.
Schumann looked at me
stolidly, or rather be looked into space,
without saying a word. Faith, 1 took
leave of him almost Immediately. He
is an impossible man."

"Do you mean to say that you don't
