Citizens Making an Effort to Get Rid of the 1 Negro Woman Now in Charge. \ Washington, January 4.?There is to be a contest over the appointment of post* ] master at Beaufort. The friends and sup- < porters of J. B. Kinghorn, a white Re- < publican from that city,hare sent to Wash- 1 t ington a numerously signed petition in ] , favor of his appointment to succeed Eliz- ] abeth L. Bampfield, a colored woman, i who now presides over that office. The postmastership at Beaufort is a 1 desirable appointment and the political i friends of the present postmaster are t strongly urging her appointment. On the ' other hand the supporters of Kinghorn < MOArt that his annointment will be pro- i ductive of better political results for an < administration standpoint than the re- i appointment of Postmistress Bampfield. Representative Croft has been appeal- t ed to by the advocates of Kinghorn to 1 present his claim to the president. Mr. i Croft says he has received the petition of Kinghorn and within the next day or two he will go to the White House and take up the subject with the president. 1 It is not known what position District J Attorney John G. Capers, the political i referee for South Carolina, will take in J this case. It is generally conceded, how- ] ? ever, at the White House and also at the < postoffice department that the selection ] will be made in accordance with the re- i commendation of Mr. Capers. ^ Letter to C. B. Free, Bamberg, S. C. Dear Sir: The trustees of fair ground, Cobleskill, N Y, were glad to pay 15 cents s a gallon more for Devoe; and no wonder. Two other paint agents said it would take 150 gallons of their paint to cover the ' buildings. > Our agent put it at 125 or less. It took ] 115. I We saved them 35 gallons of paint and painting (worth $4 to $5 a gallon, as the painting costs two or three times as much < as the paint) less 15 cents a gallon on 115 t Mllnnn. RHV 2140. , That's how to count the cost of paint. ' 1 The cost of patting it on is $3 or $4 a gallon. You see what that means. Go by 1 Devoe. Yours truly ] F W Devoe & Co ' 35 New York Knew What He was Doing. The affability of a candidate for Parlia- { mentary honors has a great effect, and i many a vote is secured by means of it. 1 But it would seem that effusiveness and affability are sometimes indulged in for quiA<e a different reason when men are ( wooing a constituency. An incident in an EariE End election proved this. One of the candidates was extremely gashing, ? and the election agent when in conver- < nation with a keen supporter said: "It is a grand idea, that of Mr. . J He is not only not satisfied with shaking i hands with the voters in the ordinary ] 1 . way, but whenever he meets them he 1 grabs both their hands and shakes them effusively." "I see," said the supporter, "but don't ; you think that that's rather overdoing it?" "Well, it may look like that," returned i the agent, "but Mr. knows his busi- i ness, and he knows that so long as he holds onto, both of their hands his watch i is safe." . WONDERFUL NERVE.

Hays, of < Greenwood, and Mrs. E. J. Wannamaker, ] of Columbia. The already pretty rooms of their hospi- ! table home, on Midway street, were en- ! chanting in their decorations, of pink carnations and ferns, harmonizing with ] the handsome gown of the hostess?black ] net over a lovely shade of pink taneta, with no ornaments save the pink carna- : tions, in her wealth of dark hair. By nine o'clock, the parlors were overflowing with guests, and soon all were making clamoring efforts to "corner" in the very exciting game of "Pit." Each guest was presented" with a cute little bottle daintily tied with ribbon, which bore the number of the table one was to commence at, the game being| played in progressive style, and those so fortunate as to "corner" with the highest score after three games at each table, progressed to the next, and into the bottle was dropped a tiny pea, this serving as the score.

County Board Meeting. # The county commissioners held a regular quarterly meeting last Monday, there being present Supervisor Bruce and Commissioners J. Wms. Carter and J.J. Fogle. A number of claims against the county were approved. Mrs. L. A. Thomas made application to be placed on the pauper list of the county, and the board agreed to pay her $2.50 per month. F. E. Steedly appeared before the board and asked for damages for his horse, he claiming that it was hurt at Edisto river bridge. The board refused to pay him any damages. A resolution was adopted by the board asking that the members of the legislature change the commutation toad tax from one dollar to two dollars a year. The following resolution was also adopted: We, the county board, endorse the recommendation of the last grand jury authorizing the legislature to make an appropriation to pay for the furniture in the clerk's office. A Three Days' Concert. While on their tour tkroue-h thp "New England States, in the winter of 1901, the Students' Concert Company of the Ithaca Conservatory of Music was caught in the fierce blizzard which raged for days throughout the north-eastern part of New York State. The train on which they, with several other passengers were endeavoring to reach Burlington, Vermont, was caught and held by the snow several ' miles from anv town or citv and it was three days before a rescuing party could reach them and shovel out the train. It is said that the students were, during those long hours, the life of the imprisoned party and their "train recitals" to the accompaniment of the blizzard were given before as appreciative an audience as it was ever their pleasure to appear. However, it was a tired party of students that rolled into Burlington on the evening of the third day barely in time for the con- < cert. The Burlington press, however, proclaimed that this was one of the best concerts ever given in that city. It is one of these Students' Concert "Companies that will appear in Carlisle Fitting School Chapel on Thursday, February 4th, 1904.

News Items Gathered All Around the County and Elsewhere. Branchville Brevities, Bbaxchville, January 4?Christmas and new year have come and vanished again. It was indeed pitiful to see the old year pass by with so many pleasures or by "at homes" and entertainments, but we gladly welcome the new year with anticipation of much more merriment and rej oicing. Friends and acquaintances visited us and things seemed to be lively. Now that they have returned we retreat to our former conditions and anxiously await excitement of some kind to agitate our memories and feelings of the pleasures of the past year. Branchville's society strove to do her best to equal or excel any other town her size as to social funofinna in ovenr arailflhln manner Tt would be impossible to give in detail all the pleasures of last week, but the writer will endeavor to describe the more important functions. Mrs. W. A. Bass gave the first entertainment Tuesday evening at her home on Railroad Avenue. The parlor war beautifully decorated with holly and mistletoe. Mrs. Bass received the guestf in her usual cordial manner and at ? o'clock all had arrived and immediately the couples were arranged around the tables to indulge in games, etc. When this became monotonous, Mrs. Bass invited the guests to arise and proceed ovei to the spacious railroad dining room where refreshments of every description wereserved. The evening was pleasantly spent, and all those attended have emphasized in saying that they never will forget the occasion "by the sycamore tree." One of the prettiest and most elaborate of new year entertainments was given on Friday evening by Mrs. P. C. Dukes at her home from 8 to 12 o'clock. The numerous guests were given free access to the large parlor and sitting room and were told to enjoy themselves. Everything was artistically arranged, and Mrs. Dukes in her hospitable manner helped to entertain the young folks. Throughout the evening games were played, and at a late honr delicious refreshments were enjoyed. This was one of the largest affairs that has ever been held in Branch ville, and undoubtedly it cannot be surpassed. Mi . Edgar Yarn, of Spartanburg, who has been enjoying himself in Branch ville for the past two weeks, returned to his homo this morning. Miss Leila Smoak, of Orangeburg, visited at the home of Miss Minnie Yarn last week. v Mr. Edward Smoak, df the Fork in Orangeburg county, spent Sunday in town Mr. Johnnie Herndon spent Sunday in Bamberg. Mr. J. Crum Smoak, who for the past year has been clerking for the Branchville Supply Co., has accepted a posu ^n with P. C. Dukes. Miss Geneva Jones, milliner for R, Pearlstine, has gone to her home in Batesburg to spend a couple of months. Mr. B. X.

The Clemson boys returned Saturday. Misses Ethel and Ida Groves will enter* tain the chocolate club Friday evening. Mr. J. E. Berry and Miss Simmons were happily married Sunday afternoon by Rev. S. A. Nettles. This was certainly a surprise to the community, but as this is leap year we must expect surprises. The stock-holders of the Bank of Branchville meet to-morrow and officers will be elected for the ensuing year. The report of its condition will come out, and it will no doubt surprise the shareholders. Miss Minnie Utsey, of St. George, spent several days here with her sister, Mrs. L. P. Connor. Miss Leila Griffith, of Reevesville, visited at the home of fcMrs. J. D. D. Fairey last week. Snow fell here for about two hours this afternoon. K. P. Buckle?I hardly know what to do with my son.

PULPIT REPLY FOR TILLMAN. ||j Dr. Broughton Attacks South Carolina Seas* ?|f tor's Views on the Negro. [Atlanta Constitution, January 4.] :';M At the Baptist Tabernacle last night to an audience of three thousand people, Dr. L. G. Broughton took occasion to reply to the lecture of SenatoJrTillman, delivered. in the city last week. Tillman's lectures -jj?| was on the race question. Dr. Broughton's theme was the "Sensitive FooL" He ^ ^ handled the South Carolina senator wifli- -^ out gloves and used some very forcible / J words in speaking of the senator's views..: |a on the negro in the South. Dr. Broughton said: % "Much of this talk of ;the race problem :|||8 is also the result of morbid sensitiveneSUi^^S I heard Senator Tillman Friday night J| give his lecture on "The Negro.1 I trie^i! ^ to be fair in my estimate of it.

IbS | this respect, and in this respect alone^ Senator Tillman entitled to a place among those who are tiring to shape the desti-3 j|| nies of the natidn. His whole talk, frou|| ^ start to finish, Was that of the cheap poH^ | , tician, playing upon the most subtfti^ ^ ( prejudices of ignorant people.
