The petition to close the businesss houses of our town at 6.30 o'clock from May 15th until August 1st has fallen through, since there were two houses, namely: J. W. Pearlstine and A. Rice, who would not sign. "Bread cast upon the waters will surely return." Clerks. We regret to learn that there are a few men in our town who are too stingy to close their stores at 6.30 during the summer. Any outsider would think it was made up of sheenies and dagoes. The Boys.

A Delightful Affair at Denmark Last Monday Evening. Grahams Lodge, Number #>, Knights of Pythias, of Denmark, has for some time past been enjoying an unusual degree of prosperity. L'nder the able management of J. S. J. Faust, Chancellor Commander, superbly assisted by Past Chancellor E. D. Raney and a number of distinguished brethren whose names we haven't space to mention, the lodge has been constantly receiving new material of the best quality. Last Monday evening was the time for a regular convention, at which there was work to be done in all three degrees. One candidate for the first, seven for the second, and one for the third. The brethren of the lodge therefore determined to invite the grand lodge officers and members of the order from the neighboring lodges and to have a banquet. Those of us who have had the good fortune to be with these brethreu on formei*occasions kuew what to expect, but even our expectations were more than realized. Several grand officers were invited, among them being Grand Chancellor Geo S Mower. Grand Vice Chancel lor J. M. Knight, Grand Prelate J. A. Summersett, Gov. D. C. Heyward and others. However, none were present except Grand Vice Chancellor Knight. Gov. Heyward expected to be present, but missed his train at Yemassee aud was forced to wire his situation late Monday afternoon. The lodge was called to order at 8.30 o'clock, and degree work and business matters occupied the time until about ten o'clock, when the members and guests were invited down-stairs to a vacant store, where a most delightful banquet was served, consisting of a most tempting menu and served by the fair women of Denmark?the wives, sisters, daughters? and sweethearts no doubt?of the members of Denmark lodge. A number of ladies were present, who saw that no one lacked for anything and made every one feel that it was iudeed a most delightful occasion. Surely the Denmark brethren have cause to be proud of the interest shown in the welfare of their lodge by the lovely women of that place, for we know : of no town where the Pythian spirit is so prominent among the fair sex. After the banquet several of the brethren were called on and made neat afterdinner speeches, among them being Grand Vice Chancellor Knight, Rev. C. E. Burts, Dr. Ryan Gyles, Dr. J. B. Black, Prof. J. Arthur Wiggins, Hon. C. W. Garris, and Dthers. When at last the time came for departure from the banquet hall, the crowd repaired to the castle hall for more degree work, although there were many stragglers on the line of march, many seeming ioath to leave the presence of Denmark's galaxy of beauty and sweetness. Degree work "was continued until about 3 o'clock in the morning, when the lodge adjourned md the visitors left for their homes, hoping for the time to come again, and that soon, when Grahams lodge would keep open house. Truly the Denmark brethren are to be congratulated?not only upon the success of the banqr "*%f Monday evening, but ilso upon tb t ana llourisning conaiiiou of their^tf^e. The most prominent citizens of that community are not only members, but they are live, active, energetic members, and we may confidently expect the order there to go forward to greater things in the future. A large crowd was present. Blackville, Bamberg, North, and other neighboring lodges were represented, and we feel absolutely stfre that each and every one heartily enjoyed his visit. Nothing was left undone which could add to the comfort and pleasure of the visitors, and the warm-beaded, generous hospitality extended by every one of the Denmark brethren will ever be gratefully remembered. Entertainment Postponed. The entertainment which was to have been given at the Fitting School chapel >n Friday evening, the 8th, has been postxmed until Friday evening, of next week the loth. This change was made necessary on account of the fact that several from other towns who were to take part tn the program could not be present on the evening of the 8th. Please remember the change in date and be present, for a most the proceeds are for church purposes. Honor Roll Olar Graded School.

"Alas, yes," she said, "Although I didn't know it at the time, he was wedded to his business at the time he married me, and the worst of it is that he still deems that first wife the more important." II w Come to see me wf St ( G. F Town Election. The town election was held Tuesday, and on account of the two candidates for Mayor, much interest was taken. A large vote was polled, the total being 161. For Mayor the vote stood: S. W.Johnson, 85; D. J. Delk, 76. Mr. Johnson was elected. For aldermen the vote was indiscriminate, there being only a few avowed candidates. Nearly every man in town was voted for as alderman, as some one expressed it. W. P. Riley, Geo. A. Jennings, M. J. Black, G. P. Harmon, H. J. Brabham, Jr., and D. W. Shealy were declared elected. Messrs. Brabham and 1 1 J .n/iAi *ra o m oinr. I oneaiy, nowever, um uui iclcj?c a u<?jvi ity of the votes polled. The entire vote stood as follows: For Mayor, S. W. Johnson, 85; D. J. Delk, 76. For Aldermen, W. P. Riley, 140; Geo. A. Jennings, 140; M. J. Black. 123; G. P. Harmon, 95; H.J. Brabham, Jr., 80; D. W.

L. Price, 3; J. A. Murdau^h, 1; E. C. Hays, 1; J. H. Armstrong, 1; J. E. Felder, 1; W. D. Rhoad. 1; R. L. Risher, 1; M. B. Yarn, 1; C. R. Brabham, Jr., 1. It is only fair to the gentlemen receiving the scattering votes to say that they were not candidates in any sense nor were their names priuted on any tickets. Others had also said they did not want the position, and the voting was entirely indiscriminate. April Honor Roll.

ALFRED BROWN, A Prtmlneut aid Popular Citlzea, Says: 'After the Use of Palse's Celery Couponed, I Am Now fa the Best of Health.** The greatest of modem physicians, Prof, idward E. Phelps, M. D., LL. D., after years if long practice and close scientific study, gave o suffering and diseased men and women his narvelous, life giving prescription, with the onviction and positive knowledge that it had = peculiar virtues and ample powers to cure. Thousands of the strongest testimonials from he best known and most reliable men and tromen of our country fully sustain the claims nade by Dr. Phelps regarding his incompatible Paine's Celery Compound. One of the most convincing proofs furnished, omes recently from a gentleman widely mown in the capital city of the Dominion of Canada. We refer to Mr. Alfred Brown, 91 VConnor St., Ottawa, Ont. Mr. Brown's etter fully demonstrates the fact that the greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden >f disease and become well, strong, and happy, t proves, too, that the great medicine mainains more fully than ever before its unrivaled ilace in the estimation of people of wealth ind social standing as well as with the masses, dr. Brown says "I acknowledge with thankfulness and ileasure the fact that I have been cured of a ery painful illness of eight years' standing by ise of Paine's Celery Compound. I had, luring the years of my illness, tried almost all he advertised medicines without deriving any ;ood results. 1 was also treated by several of he best' doctors of this city, hoping to find bat one of them, at least, would understand ay case. " I was getting worse, and was told I was icurable. I was indeed in a critical condiion. I could not go from the house alone, s I was liable to sudden collapse. I tried ospital treatment, but no relief or good results ame to me. I could not sleep; anything that ate increased my agonies; I was extremely reak, restless, tired, and despondent; was _ bliged to walk about with my hands pressed rmly into my left side to ease my pains; my :et and hands were cold continually; had lclination to vomit, had profuse, cold sweats, uick breathing, and would be racked with* ain for hours at a time. "After the regular use of Paine's Celery Compound for a time, I am now in the best of ealth, have good appetite, and can use any ind of food. Thank God I am my old self nee more, all through the use of Paine's leleiy Compound." FOB TWENTY TEARS DIAMOND DYES ave been the standard home dyes.
