Branchrille Brevities. 1 Branchville, June 7.?The Japs and Russians are not the only people that can fight, for one of our boys, James Grimes, had a battle with an Italian last Friday. ? The Italian's name could not be learned but it is understood that the Dago cursed Grimes and he could not stand for it. The Dago's mother and father tried to console with their opponent, but to no avail. Finally the enemy, Grimes, came up in the rear, prepared for ba'.tle, with a base# ball bat and struck his adversary a stunning blow on the head. It is miraculous to many that the skull was not fractured, but the scalp was cut three inches. When that blow was landed those Italians did yell, whoop and howl, and in less than two minutes a crowd had gathered to ascertain the trouble. The split scalp was bandaged, and in a short time all was over. * Quite a jolly crowd of boys and girls went on a delightful moonlight straw ride last night to Sandy Island. There was just enough people to enjoy a good outing, and while there the boys served light ? refreshments. Those among the crowd ir? TJ- T>?A nrmcto Tnnnincrc ? were: .misses madjiu, Louise Crowder,Mamie and Sarah Karesh, Lulu Garrison, Ethel Pearlstine, Edna > ? and Kate Tobin; Messrs Asburj' Dukes, Marion and Harry Byrd, Peter and Bascom Minus, Benjamin Williams, Philip Toalls, and Kiry Pearlstine. Dr. J. S. Wimberly attended the meeting of the Dorchester Medical Association at St. George yesterday. Mr. Abe Pearlstine was in attendance at the meeting of the funeral directors last week at Sumter. Our base-ball team will play Harleyville at St. George next Tuesday, June 14th. Miss Belle Dukes, of Columbia Female College, returned home this morning for the vacation. K. P. Ehrhardt Etchings. ? Ehrhardt, June 6.?For several years now our little town has been quieting down; so much so that some people have said that it was gradually dying, but that it is not dead but it is very much alive is a fact that can't be disputed by anyone who was here last Thursday morning. For days and weeks there has been something in th? air, and one needed only to see the many whisperings and conferences bc^ tweep folks to know that something out oft the ordinary was about to happen. Everything was kept quiet, and as time drew slowly on the political fcloud was ^ seen to slowly rise on tne distant nonzuu; interest in the coming election for town - officers became intense and it was underf stood at once that there would be two factions, each with a ticket in the field. Each faction kepi the names of its candi? dates secret until the morning of the election, and then the bomb exploded just as the polls opened. A hard, bitter fiht was about to be waged, and each party was afraid of the other. A compromise was suggested, and it was agreed to between the parties, that they support the candidate for mayor of one faction and the candidates for wardens of the Other faction. This seemed to suit all parties and the contest was dropped, but somebody didn't do what they promised, as the returns showed that one man had been supported by his faction after they had agreed to support the other ticket. Those elected are: C. Ehrhardt, mayor, I. D. Copelaud, W. L. Mitchum, J. A. Chassereau and J. D. Padgett, wardens. '4 These gentlemen will serve one year, and it is hoped will make a good council. The young ladies of this place gave a ~ leap-year party to the young men last Friday night, and some of the notes asking the boys to allow the girls to take them to the party were quite humorous. I am # told that one read as follows: "Dear Sir. If you don't object to my company ril call at your hash foundry at 8 o'clock this evening to take you to the party. If yon accept please so notify me, and if you can't accept please notify me anyway, as I do not want to run the risk of getting * mad-dog bit for nothing before I reach * *. your place of abode. If you don't accept 2- V.l don't you ever speas to me agam oetore Sunday night. Yours in doubt, " Of 1 i course everybody will deny this, so we'll never know who the author was. , Mr. Griffin, of Walterboro, and Miss Rosa Bishop, of this place, were happily married last Sunday at the residence of ; Mr. I. W. Carter. After the marriage ; ithey, with their friends, attended church at Pleasant Hill. One of the couples ] who stood for the bride and groom came very near having a runaway on the way < to church, and but for the timely help of | Mr. R H. Copeland it would possibly have 1 resulted seriously. Frank says that he < f doesn't want another experience like it, ; though. j t Mrs. W. H. Kinard had the misfortune i of having her youngest child bad ly burned i Sunday. It seems that the little one got i ' hold of a lot of matches and in some way i f ignited them and her dress took fire> ] burning completely off, and but for the h ' timely arrival of some neighbors who put i out the fire death would have been the result. ] We are sorry to note the illness of Mr. < J. J. Farrell and Dr. Copeland's little son, i Chester. They were taken quite sudden < Sunday morning, and for a time the lives 1 of both were despaired of, but under powerful stimulants both have recovered to j some extent, and are now out of danger. 1 Dr. Copeland thinks they s.te something poisonous, but is not certain, as he and his ] wife ate of the same dishes at breakfast i Sunday morning. Mrs. W. P. Pate happened to a painful s accident last Saturday. She lost her foot ing and slipped down the steps, tractur- j ing one of the bones in her arm. It was promptly attended to, and she is doing quite well at present. The weather has been unusually hot this week, and people and stock are suffering from the excessive heat. Oats are 1 about harvested, and the crop is some ] better than was at first expected. Mr. F. E. Copeland Tost a fine mule last ; Thursday night. The loss is quite heavy i at this season, as there are so few to be j had and one is obliged to have another to finish up the crop. i The revival conducted by Rev. Mr. i Harley, of Barnwell, closed last Wednesday night, and was a success. Several additions to the church membership was the direct result. A nice little purse was 1 made up for him in appreciation of his services. Come again, Mr. Harley. We have it from a reliable source that Mr. J. C. Copeland will again run for magistrate. So far he is the only candidate for the office that has been spoken of. ' Candidates are quite numerous of late, and some are bound to be left. It looked for a long time as if very few of the offices were to be contested at all. It don't make any difference if a thousand candidates come out, let us have clean politics one year at least. If an officeseeker isn't wanted by the people, there are more and better ways to beat him than by slinging mud. Misses Miller, Miss Barrier and Miss Rebecca Jenny were welcome visitors to our city last week. Aronnd White Pond. White Pond, June 7.?If we could get a nice shower now, by no means would it look gloomy for the farmers. Cotton is about as fine as it possibly could be considering the drouth at the time it wanted to come up. Corn on an average is all right too. Messrs. W. B. Owens and W. B. Nixon, two of our most prominent citizens and progressive farmers, have each shipped over one hundred crates of beans so far. The demand is still pretty good, while the price is a little off. This last week Mrs. Joe Kitchines pass ed from life's toils and troubles to eternal rest. She was nearly eighty years old, and had been a consistent member of the Baptist church nearly all of her life. She leaves an aged husband and a number of children, with numerous friends, to mourn her less, but as our loss is her gain we must meekly wait and murmur not. The time ; cannot be long ere her good, noble, and devoted husband will meet her where they will rest forever. Mr. 0. W. McCreary, of the Savannah Grocery Co., was in our little town Sunday looking after business interests that really looked like life time interests. Only those who have such Sunday affairs can understand the never tiring pleasures they afford. Miss Mae Nixon, who has been very ill for some weeks, we are glad to say, is able to be up again. Mr. Otis L. Copeland, formerly of Ehrhardt, now of Sallys, paid a short visit to his brother and sister, Mr. and Mrs. G. Edward Copeland, last week. We are sorry to say and to know our I assistant post master, Mr. James Bell, is < unable to be on duty this week. < Mr. G. W. Gaddy, section foreman, j Southern Railway, who has been unable i to go on duty for about a week, we are 1 glad to say, is able to be up again. * Mr. O. F. McMillan has been spending { some weeks with Mr. W. H. Eaves, of j Williston. Mr. Eaves has gone to Augusta i to have his ear treated. He is very hard j of hearing. The negroes had a grand "sassiety" i meeting and funeral Sunday. They had a small attendance of about five hundred. ( "Something doing" for the State con- ] stables away back "in the sticks" to-day. ] Look out, ye "tussick" men! W. P. < * 1 Denmark Doings. j Denmark, June 7.?A severe wind and 1 hail storm visited this section on Monday, ^ May 30th, and did much damage to the crops and fruit trees. The path of the hail was not over three or four hundred \ yards wide and commenced its worst near j Grovan and continued parallel with the i Seaboard Air Line railroad on right side through our little city, and on to Hon. S. G. Mayfield's home place thence to S. D. M. Guess's place. There are places that 1 are as clean as if cotton was never plant- j ed. The wind blew off portion of the ] top of E. B. Guess's gin house. It is said i that i^ was so completely done so near j the middle that a carpenter could not j have done the work better with a saw. i A number of people who went out to see ' , -.4 \ it say they never saw anything like it. We are sorry to report the death of Mr. Hagood Zorn, who died with pneumonia un May 30th. He le3,ves a wife and child, md a number of relatives to mourn his ieparture. To the bereaved loved ones :his community extends sympathy. Mr. J. P. Storm is all smiles. There is \ little MissStorne on a visit to his home, who arrived on May 24th. The infant son of Hon. and Mrs. S. G. Mayfield, who has been quite sick for some time, died on Wednesday of last week. The bereaved family have the sympathy o:: the entire community. Mr. S. G. Ray had the misfortune to iiave a wagon shaft run through his fine nare which he recently purchased from Mr. G. Frank Bamberg.

She is still living but is suffering with great pain. On Monday with a squad of hands Contractor Hope left for Cope, where he has the contract and will erect a modern ginnery for Mr, John H. Cope, of Bamberg. We are glad to report that Drs. J. W. Wyman and S. H. Tindall, who have been quite sick, are out again. Dr. Wyman has left for the springs for a month's rest. Hartzog Happenings. Hartzog, June 7.?We are having fine weather now, and the farmers are making good use of it. Rev. E. M. McKissick preached a fine sermon Sunday afternoon. Mr. J. G. Rhoad and family spent Saturday and Sunday with relatives near Carters' Ford. Miss Sophy Carter returned with them. Mr. Monnie Rentz was the guest of Mr. 0. G. Rhoad's family Sunday. Miss Lillian Black is visiting relatives in Bamberg. Mr. D. P. Rentz is home again, from Florida, full of life as ever. He attended the C. F. S. commencement exercises at Bamberg last week. Mr. and Mrs. 0. G. Rhode are visiting in Bamberg. Mr. Hammond Carter was here Sunday. Miss Ollie Rhode is home again, we gladly welcome her. Her reports and examinations while at the Fitting School were very praiseworthy. Misses Anna and Mattie Bellinger are visiting their grandmother, Mrs. M. A. Black. Miss Maud Raysor is in Orangeburg this week. Miss Mamie Rhoad had the misfortune to fall from some steDs yesterday While she is not seriously hurt, she is suffering from a sprained ankle, this making her unable to walk. Mr. J. G. Rhoad went to Bamberg Saturday afternoon. We understand that a "pit" party has been organized here, with the following officers and members: Mr. Doty Rhoad, supervisor, Mr. G. T. Rhoad, tafly-keeper; Miss Maggie Black, fun-provide:*; Mr. Scott Rentz, cheater; Misses Mamie, Ollie, Florine, Mell Lizzie Rhoad and Lillian Black and Messrs. Sam and Richard Rhode, champion players.

Attention was drawn by Dr. James Shaw at the Ambidextural Culture Society to the singular fact that the buttons of feminine clothes are on the wrong 3ide?or rather, since liidies may maintain that it is men's buttons which aie wrong, that men's buttons are on the right side of the wearer, and women's on the left. This peculiarity Dr. Shaw ascribed, not to feminine perversity, but to the fact that those who set ladiiea' fashions were lupposed to have maids to dress them, rnr whom this Dosition was more con kV4 wwrnrn^mmm j renient. Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets Better Than a Doctor's Prescription. Mr. J. W. Turner, Turhart, va., says Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets have done him more good than anything he could get from doctors. If any physician in thi9 country was able to com-! pound a medicine that would produce 3uch results in cases of stomach troubles, I biliousness or constipation, his time | would be used in preparing this one medicine.

Little Rock, Ark., June 7.?Cessation of rain brought immediate comfort to the flood stricken localities along the Arkan- : sas river today. Although the river continues rising, reaching a stage of 26 feet or three feet above the danger line at Little Rock, the announcement is made : that it will come to a stand to-morrow. Reports of irreparrable damage to cotton and corn crops in the lowlands multiply and the result will be disastrous because it is now too late for replanting. Thousands of acres of rich bottom lands are under water. Much live stock has been drowned. No report of any loss of life has been received. Petition for Pardon. A petition was circulated here this week asking the governor to pardon Zissett, the white man who was convicted of murder here shortly after Bamberg county was established. Our readers will remember that Zissett shot and killed a young white man named "Wilson, and the jury found hini guilty of murder and he was sentenced to be hanged. However, Governor Ellerbe commuted his sentence to life imprisonment in the penitentiary, and now his friends and family are trying to get him pardoned. The trial took place in 1898 we believe, and he has only been in the penitentiary about six years. It is not likely that the pardon will be granted, as several people in this city who were asked 1 to sign the paper refused to do so. Graded School Building Accepted. Architect Stewart, of Atlanta, was here last week, and after consultation with him and going carefully over the new graded school building, the job was accepted by the building committee. The building is practically completed, there only being a little painting to be done yet. The roof is being painted, but this does not come in the contract, it being paid for extra by the committee. We trust that those in authority will now take up the matter of beautifying the grounds and plant flowers and shrubbery. The school grounds can bs made beautiful with very little trouble, and we know of nothing that will add more to the appearance of our school property. By all means let us have pretty grounds. If there is no money available for this purpose, we suggest that the ladies be called on to do the work. We feel sure they will gladly undertake it, and if they do, we are assured that it will be done well. Improvements at the Oil Mill. Down at the oil mill is a busy place these days. Manager Dickinson is rushing the improvements in order to have everything ready in plenty of time for the ginning season. The gin house has been enlarged, five new gins with a new and complete system of elevators, fans, etc., are in place, a magnificent new Cdrliss engine will be installed to run the ginnery, and the gins used heretofore are being thoroughly overhauled and will be made as good as new. The company in tends to take care of all the cotton which comes to be ginned this fall, and with a battery of ten first-class gins and a new boiler and engine, there will be no shutdowns or long waits. The seed house is being, made one-third larger, while the capacity of the hull house is almost double what it formerly was, or will be when the addition now being added is complete.

State News Boiled Down for Quick Reading Pungent Paragraphs About Men and Happenings. It has been decided to encamp the State militia at Columbia this summer. Joe Dyson, a white man living at Manning, committed suicide by swallowing a vial of laudanum on May 28th. It is stated that domestic troubles caused him to commit the act. A serious shooting affray occurred at a negro cabin in Anderson county Sunday afternoon in which two negroes, Jerry Dial and Henry Sherman, were killed and Warren Samples fatally wounded. Last Saturday night at Dillon, Benjamin Frierson, was shot and instantly killed by John Daniel. It is said that Frier son was drinking and attacked Daniels' little boy with a razor which led up to the difficulty. Statistics of the Department of Agriculture estimate the total acreage of cotton planted in the United States this season Af Q1 TQA Q?1 a/trad on in/traoan Af O QOQ _ wi)iuv,wii au iuvivi 016 acres, or 9.8 per cent over the acreage of last year. The annual farmers' encampment of York county will be held at Rock Hill this year instead of Tirzah as heretofore. The date has not been fixed but the encampment is generally held the latter pait of July. Jesse W. Crapse, a white man, is in jail in Hampton, charged with the murder of his cousin, J. S. Crapse. The killing occurred Thursday of last week, and grew out of a dispute over a public neighborhood road through the premises of Jesse W. Crapse, which road he had been endeavoring to have discontinued. Henry T. Evans, a young white man about 80 years of age, a machinist by trade, committed suicide in Newberry last Friday night by drinking the contents of an eight-dram of laudanum. He had been drinking heavily for the past week, and this is supposed to have been the cause of his rash act. He left a note saying that "It could not be helped," but no reason was assigned for the deed. George Caulfield was shot and killed Monday night on the streets of Charleston by Pat Carroll. Two friends of Caulfield, Joe Myers and Hunter Sharp, were also wounded by bullets from Carroll's Distol. Carroll was drinking and joined a crowd in which were Caulfield and his friend9. He took exceptions to some remark made and he and Caulfield clinched for a fight. They were separated and Myers and Sharpe, after counseling peace, started home with Caulfield. Carroll followed and fired into the crowd, emptying his pistol. Caulfield was shot in the* back and fell dead; Myers was shot in the arm and Sharpe in the leg, both wounds being slight.'Carroll was arrested and is in jail. Caulfield was formerly a dispensary constable and Carroll is said to be a blind tiger keeper. AN ALARM CLOCK FOR 25C. If you want to get up early and feel good all day take a Little Early Riser or two at bed time.

"A doctor here has sued me for $12.50, which I claim was excessive for a case of cholera morbus,1' says R. "White, Coachella, Cal. "At the trial he praised his skill and medicine. I asked him if it was not Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy he used as I had reason to believe it was, he would not say under oath that it was not." No doctor could use a better remedy than this in a case of cholera morbus, it never fails. Sold by H. C. Rice; Bamberg Pharmacy. IMPROVEMENT IN COTTON BELT. Crop Outlook is Generally Favorable?Boll Weevils in Texas on the Increase. "Washington, June 7.?'The weather * ''-WM bureau's weekly summary of crop condi- -1$ tions says: As a whole there has been quite a decided improvement in the condition of cotton over nearly the whole of the cotton II belt. The crop has, however, suffered some damage in Oklahoma and Indian territories from overflows and from in- cljaj sufficient moisture in scattered localities in Louisiana. Rapid growth and a good :-||m state of cultivation are generally indicate ' M ed. Boll weevils are increasing rapidly and doing considerable damage in a num- . * ber of southwestern and south central counties in Texas. The week has been exceptionally favorable for transplanting tobacco, and this * v^JB work has advanced satisfactorily, having > JjlH been completed in Tennessee and North 3 Carolina and about three-fourths finished in Kentucky and Virginia. In the extreme northern States there is .jjSfc an encouraging outlook for apples, but in central Mississippi and Ohio valleys and .:M : middle Atlantic States the prospects ap- ' , pear to be somewhat impaired by extensive dropping. In the southern States a good crop of peaches is indicated. J Of Course Not. Mr. Wise?My wife bought me a shirt in ^ \ this store. Can I change it at this conn- : Floor Walker?No, sir.
