Bamberg's distinguished son, Hon. S. G.
- Mayfield, announces his candidacy for
|? ' congress in this issue, and that he will
have a hearty support in his home counf
ty goes without saying. He is decidedly
f<;- the best man for the place in the race.
Without meaning to disparage any of

Masonic Meeting.
A very pleasant trip was indulged in
l|-r* by the members of Oman lodge, A. F.
^ M., last Friday night. A number of
members from here went down to
- Branchville, by invitation of the lodge
q:;, at that place, to attend a meeting and
banquet. The party who went down
was: Grand Master Jno. R. Bellinger.
Past Masters J. B. Black and W. D.
Rhoad, J. A. Murdaugh, Dr. C. E. Kinsey,
Dr. Geo. F. Hair, M. J. Black, Thos.

jfe Rev. M. L. Lawson. They were joined
?? v at Midway by Bro. G. E. Hutto and at
|||> Branchville by Bro. D. T. Smoak, both
Imembers of the lodge.
g|j?}- A large delegation was present from
ti--* Orangeburg, among whom were District
p. Deputy W. L. Glaze, Past Master W. G.
p/ Smith, and other prominent gentlemen,
pf First the Eastern Star degree was con|fe;
ferred upon a number of ladies and genii^
tlemen, and the lodge then conferred the
m- Master Mason's degree. An elegant banquet
was served at the home of Mr. Jacob
8k? Karesh.
Most of the party returned on the 2.80
f|> train, but Grand Master Bellinger stayed
III until next morning, as the work was
?? not finished when the train left. The Fellow
Craft degree was also conferred, and
it was four o'clock before the lodge adjourned.
It -was certainly a pleasant occasion.
The Branchville brethren [entertained us
^' handsomely, and nothing was left undone
I that could add to the pleasure or comfort
I>. of their visitors. There were at least
one hundred members and visitors present.

School Libraries.
m; .. 1
% At the recent session of the general
assembly an act was passed providing for
. libraries in the public schools. This law
provides that when the friends and patfrons
subscribe $10 for this purpose, and
the trustees of any school shall issue their i
Iv- . warrant for a like amount from the school
funds, then the State board of education
will appropriate $10 as well, making a total
of $30, which shall be used to purchase
I w books for the library. Several of the
' schools in this county have already taken
advantage of this act, and have started
libraries. All should do so, and we trust
they will.
l Elmer, aged four, had been given a
piece of shad at dinner, but after awhile
his mother noticed it still on his plate.
"Why, Elmer," she said, "I thought
you were fond of fish."
"I am, mamma," replied the little
fellow, "but this one is full of splinters."
IT SAVEDHIS LEG.
P. A. Danforth, LaGrange, Ga., suffered
six months with a frightful running sore

The stagecoach slowly emptied itself
as the travelers reached their various
destinations, until only three were left
to be stranded by a breakdown at a
cluster of houses called a town. Two

trip necessitated by the bogus sales of
a bogus land agent, which had involved
their property.
The third traveler was a woman
from a far New England town, whose
whole life, up to her comely middle
age, had been spent in the rush and
turmoil of a monster factory. To her
the wide, illimitable plain was a revelation
of the vastness of God's domain,
and she brooded over it in silent,
dreamy contemplation. She smiled and
answered pleasantly when spoken to,
but bad volunteered no information
concerning herself, and Lee and Bainbridge
felt some curiosity as to her
destination.
They knew nobody in the sparsely
settled region beyond who was ex
u t
peering company, aim ?uai uxi ocun.
would be news for fifty miles around.
She bad accepted the detaining accident
without worry or impatience and
after supper sat on the porch of the
small hotel, her eyes fixed in wondering
awe upon the distant mountains,
beyond whose peaks streamed the
glory of the setting; sun.
"She looks like home," Bain bridge
said, indicating her with a nod.
' She's that kind," Lee returned, with
the assurance of knowledge gained by
experience. He wea a married man.' 1
They lounged ou t and took a bench
near her. .
"Going on with the coach, ma'am?"
bee ventured after awhile.
"Why, yea," she replied pleasantly,
rousing. "I'm going out near Wallace^
"Why, that's our postoffiee! Just a
shack, you know?store and postofflce
together. Are. you locating in that
npiflrhborhood?"
"Yes, quite near. And you are some
of oar neighbor*? That's good! I
seem to almost know you. I'm Almlra
Burton." She laughed like a pleased
child and put out her hand as she introduced
herself.
The men exchanged startled glances
at the name, but they shook hands
cordially.
"I am Bob Lee; have a wife (best in
the world) and four tow be ads. This
is Wllsie Bainbridge, the old bachelor
who lived by hiraaelf,'" Lee went on
loquaciously.
"I'm glad there are children near. I
am going to miss ours at home so
dreadfully," she said. "
"Maybe they won't be what you'd
call near," he laughed. "Anything1* i
'near' oat here inside of twenty miles." I
"Oar quarter section is two miles 1
south of Wallace, and the agent said
tbere*d be a railroad soon. I hope
you're not far away."
"You bought, I reckon," Balnbridge
said. "Land's all been taken up round
here ever so long." C
"Yea. that's what the agent said; Q
though it doesn't seem possible. Why, J
if s Just one great ocean of land out t
here. I didnt realise there was so
much?and all taken. But some folks
own miles, dont they?"
Bainbridge nodded, and she went on
wtth a deprecatory smile at her former
ignorance. "Oar place seemed so big g
?a hundred and sixty acres?and that ?
is big when you've never had even a j
garden spot?just rooms and a tiny .
mite of a dooryard!"
"It does," Lee assented. "I came
from that kind of a home myself?
hardware clerk and wife a teacher
back in Ohio. Tell you, we stretched d
out here!" i
Be did not say that their "stretch" t
covered several miles, as he might.
"We^re going to raise cattle as sooq
as we get started." She seemed suddenly
to feel herself among frienda and
neighbors, who had a right to know
the prospects and intentions of the
newcomers. "We think it will be
easier for Tom, and we've heard it was c
more profitable than ordinary farm- o
Ing." n
"Tom is, maybe, your husband?" Lee ^
insinuated. ^
"Land, no?" she laughed, her plump 13
face rosy. "He's my brother?all the
folks I've got I raised him, and, like
me, he's been a factory worker all his
life. He's married and has two little
tots, so smart" 0
"Thomas EL and A. Burton?that the
names you bought under?" Bainbridge
queried, with a warning glance at Lee.
"Why, yes; bow did you know? Oh,
I expect you saw it in the agents' list d
of sales." p
"Yes, ma'am, and I noticed particularly
because that quarter is right next
to me; in fact Just into mine. Of
course I felt an interest In such near
neighbors."
"Why, Tm real glad!" she said
heartily; "real glad. I dont feel at all S
as if I was going among strangers, l<
meeting my neighbors this way."
"Are yon going to >Mve there alone?"
Lee inquired boldly.
Her face clouded. "I must for awhile.
I am going to hire a dugout or some n
kind of shelter put up, and I want to
start things as soon as I can. Tom's
sickly, and he*B dreadfully run down.
He couldnt be alone out here." A
glow of confidence lighted her eyes, I
and she continued: "We've been saving
a long time to get a home out in the
country somewhere. Tom was never p
strong and the last year or two has developed
consumptive tendencies, and
the doctors advised him to come out
in this pat of the west and live. They {
