IN VARIOUS SECTIONS.
News Items Gathered All Around
the Connty and Elsewhere.
Ehrhardt Etchings.
Ehrhardt, May 24.-0/ the many visitors
to Charleston last week not one says
he did not have a good time. They also
say that there was the largest crowd in
Charleston that they have ever seen there,
and that is saying a great deal, as some
of those who attended the reunion are
old men and have been going to Charleston
for quite a number of years. The old
veterans are dwindling away very rapidly
and it is onlv a matter of time before the
honored heroes of the Civil war will all
have passed away.
On last Sunday an election was held
at Mt. Pleasant church for a superintendent
of the Sunday-school, former Superintendent
King having?*resigned, and resulted
as follows: Superintendent, W. E.
Sease; assistant superintendent, B. B.
Bishop. The Sunday-school is to be
cangratulated in securing the services of
these two good men. After the election
Capt. Sease made a feeling address to the
Sunday-school, thanking them for the
honor conferred upon him as their superintendent.
The time for the Lutheran
Sunday-school at Ehrhardt has been
changed to an earlier hour, in order that
those who attend the Methodist Sunday
school may do so later in the afternoon.
This will also give the Methodists a
chance to attend the Lutheran school
before going to their own.
Mr. F. E. Copeland and son, Sam. W.,
attended the funeral of Mrs. W. H. Eaves
at Wiiliston last Monday afternoon, returning
home Tuesday "morning. Mrs.
Eaves was a sister-in-law of Mrs. F. E.
Copeland, Mrs. J. R. Carter and Mrs. D.
C. Copeland of this place.
The warm weather that we have been
having on the crops for the last few days
have made a decided improvement in the
looks of them, and those who were losing
heart at the poor prospect have buckled
down to it again in earnest with more
hope in their hearts.

about an old negro near Lodge. It seems
that he had the misfortune to lose his
mule, and as he was not able to pay anyone
to haul it away from his home, he
undertook to dispose of it himself. First
he took a sharp knife and dissected it and
then carried it away piece by piece until
he had it removed from his lot.

Crops in this section are looking exceedingly
well considering the severe
winds and cold weather.
The seed house near the ginnery of the
oil mill is being moved back and a new

Quite a number of our people went
down to Olar Monday night to attend the
commencement exercises. Your correspondent
was among the number and the
good pqople of Olar certainly deserve
great credit for the excellent work being
done in their prosperous little town in
the way of school progress and enterprise.
I am told that this is the first commencement
they have ever had at Olar
and, if this be true, of which I have no I
doubt, Olar will have one of the leading
sceools in lower South Carolina ere many
more years, as the exercises were a per-1
feet succes. H.

BRANCHVILLE SCHOOL CLOSES.
Rev. E. M. Lightfoot, of Orangeburg, Preached Al
the Commencement Sermon?Personals
and Other News Items.
Braxchville, May 24.?This is com- fr
mencement week and everything seems jjj
bright. The people have been looking
forward for sometime for this event and ^
now as it has come we will endeavor to tr
appreciate the energies of the teachers and be
tarn out in full force to hear and see the fe
interesting program. Prof. Etchison and f
his assistants, Misses Louise Crowder and Ia
Gertrude Gambatti, have spared no pains se
to drill the boys and girls to such a degree to
that the attendance to the closing exer- _(
cises will be unusually large. We have
already noticed a large number of visitors P1
from other towns and the surrounding su
country, and from what we are promised ai
thev will not return at all dissatisfied.
Sunday morning the closing exercises "J
began by an eloquent sermon by Rev. E.
M. Lightfoot, of Orangeburg, at the city th
hall. The sermon was short, concise and cr
appropriate to the occasion. Nothing need R
to be said about Rev. Lightfoot, ai anyone
who has heard him deliver a sermon n<
very well knows his tone and manner of tb
speech. The audience was held spell- fQ
bound for one-half an hour and the attention
that he received was a merit to the P(
congregation. pi
Monday evening Rev. J. Walter Daniel,
of Charleston, delivered a beautiful annual
literary address. He started off by
comparing an old Southern mule to a ca
woman, but more especially to an old tii
maid. He said that everytime he saw a V(
mule with long manes and hairs that it F
reminded him of an old woman with
bangs. Several times he made the atten- ^
tive audience burst out into laughter and d<
at the close of the address he was well re- ^
warded by the generous applause that he
received. It would be unnecessary to
overflow these columns with the intelligent
remarks that these two intellectual
men said, but will close by saying that
they were immensely enjoyed by everyone
present. *
This evening the advanced grades will
present C
THE EXHIBITION OF THE DESTBICT SKULE.
No doubt this will be admirably render- q
ed as the preparations have been exceedingly
great. Wednesday evening will be
given the exercises of the intermediate
grades, and on Thursday evening will end B
the program with interesting exercises by
the primary department. All exercises
are held in the city hall, free of charge,
and everyone is cordially invited to at- H
tend.
Everyone is talking about the big pic- n)
nic that will be at Bowman's Wednesday,
May 25. A large crowd from here will m
leave on the Bowman and Branchville m
train in the morning and return in ample tb
time to be present at the commencement
exercises. There will be two games of r
ball that day, the first between the Juve- ^
niles of Branchville and Bowman; the tu
second between Providence and Cattle- B
Creek. Several of our boys will play with
'the Creek and from the lineup it will be
a clean sweep for the latter. The Bow- a*
man paper has been advertising this big Ir
day for sometime past and undoubtedly fe
they will see more people than they real
ly anticipate. Bowman is a hustling little
town and can boast of a weekly paper.

Thursday between Orangeburg and ?

the large boys will have played this year, Cj
and from the splendid practice that our fo
boys are showing up, it will no doubt be m
a victory for us. Willie Fairey will pitch
for Branchville and for his re^rd noth- m
ing need be said.

intended that school for a number of i?
years has resigned in favor of his assistant,
J. H. Zeigler, "Uncle Jim". It was
with reluctance that Mr. Folk's resignation
was accepted, but "Uncle Jim" seems
to feel perfectly at home "with the dear
people" and is looking forward to greater J?
things as the reward of his work, both as *
candidate for the office of coroner and

"ALL A MISTAKE"
? I
: the Carlisle Fitting School Chapel, Thursday
Night, May 26th. I
The citizens of Bamberg, and others
om places near enough to attend, will
ive an opportunity of spending to-night j '
'hnrsdnvl in the eniovment of a rarej
eat. Eight of our young people have J
:en faithfully practicing for the past I
w weeks on a very lively and amusing ?
rce comedy which they expect to prent
at the Carlisle Fitting School chapel j
night, at 8:30 o'clock. Other towns sup- }
>rt with enthusiasm such commendable
ays by their young people, and we feel
:re Bamberg will turn out in full force ,
id encourage these young folks in their!
*st effort of the season. They guarantee
ill value for the small admission fee and 1
ey have a i^ght to expect a very large 1
owd with them. Let every person in
amberg, who enjoys an evening of in- ;
icent amusement, who is interested in
ie young life of our town and who cares <
'r the growth and development of young
lople's christian societies for which their
ay is given, be present tonight.
In addition to the regular program, de- ;
:ious refreshments will be served on the
impus. The moon will be full at the,
me, and this "campus-course" will be j'
jry popular with our young people. ] (
veryone must try at least something
iat night, for the refreshments will be
jlicious. A bevy of young ladies will
ivethis part in charge.
The play is "All a Mistake."
The characters are:

6 Miss Nellie Huntington?Miss Annie

7 Mr. Ferdy Lighthead?J. C. Redtnund
8 Nell, sewing girl?Miss Gertrude :
arailton.
A. synopsis of the play is: Capt. Skin- '
?r the wealthy uncle of Geo. Richmund,
akes George his heir on condition he
arries Nellie Huntington, a friend of ,
ie family. George is a Lieutenant in the
st Infantry, U. S. army, and while in
uba he shows conspicious bravery, re- ,
irns to the States and marries Nellie ,
lanchard. A message informs him of his f
lcle's death, he goes to attend the funer,
finds it a mistake and his uncle still ]
ring. He is in a predicament, for he ,
ars his uncle's displeasure at not mary- ,
g Nellie Huntington. They attempt to ,
rercome the difficulty by pretending that
ellie Huntington is George's wife and ,
ellie Blanchard is a friend of Nellie
untington. Accepting this as a fact, the .
iptain encourages Ferdy Lighthead, a j
p, to court Miss Blanchard, and a pretty
ess of affairs result. Richard Hamjlton ,
istakes the captain's house for the lu- (
itic asylum next door, visits it, and
om a conversation with him, George
nceives the idea of palming off all the
jusehold on Richard as the asylum sure
lough. This pleases every one in an.
nusing position, and results in everyone 1
tspecting all the others are insane,
verything ends alright, and the captain
ids his method of choosing a wife for ;
eorge was "all a mistake " (
The play is given for the benefit of the '
pworth League, of Trinity Methodist
lurch. The League is doing well, and
lis year has taken a forward step by
.edging $50 extra to some mission work
irt of which goes to Granterry College,

A Tislt to Bamberg.
I visited the town of Bamberg on Sunly
last and Lave concluded, from generappearance
on the Lord's day, that its
orals are somewhat above the average
>r a county seat of its size. I attended 1
ie Baptist Sunday school and church,
sited Dr. J. B. Black at bis home and
,w a lot of comfortable looking arrangeents
all through the place.
In the Sunday school I met quite a num?r
of true workers in the cause which ]
ey profess; there seemed to be no big !
:'s" and little "U's" in or about the '
lurch. Rev. M. L. Lawson still holds the '
rt, and while he has not increased in j
atue, he is a little under size. He seems
be a noble spirit, and is beloved by his >
>ck. His subject was from the 11th and i
th chapters of Heb rews, and could have 1
tly been considered lengthy by sleepy-1
:aded hearers. He finds no trouble in j <
easuring off his discourse. No tangle of 1
ngue ormixiug up his subject. The main !
lpression made on my mind was that I,
luldn't help it if a very poor excuse for j
)t living as we should is made. | j

A CURE FOR PILES. i
"I had a bad case of piles,'' says G. F. c
Carter, of Atlanta, Ga., "and consulted a j

DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve. I purchased
a box and was cured. It is splendid for 1
piles, giving relief instantly, and I recom- h
mend it to sufferers." DeWitt's Witch <]
Hazel Salve is unequalled for its healing
qualities. Eczema and other skin diseases, *
also sores, cuts, burns and wounds of 0
every kind are quickly cured by it. Sold

A boy's life is twice as valuable as that c

Judge Adams, of the Essex county circuit n
court, of Newark, N. J. . r
The suits grew out of the Clifton ave- tl
nue trolley accident of February 19,1903,
in which nine high school pupils were li
killed. When the cases were tried the d
trolley company acknowledged its inabil- b
ity, and the jury -rtras asked simply to fix n
the amount of damages to be paid" in each
case, larger amounts to be awarded for the li
