Decanters Marked C. 0. D.
A story of British stolidity, says the
Boston Record, is going the rounds. A
) certain wealthy American in London
i dropped into a shop to purchase a ?ct of
decanters.
As the purchase represented more mon\ey
than he had on his person at the time,
\ he gave his address at the hotel and in
' strncted the assistant to mark them C. 0.
D. The assistant made a note of the re..
;.. quest, but the purchaser was surprised to

was unpacked, however, it developed that
each decanter had been beautifully en;.

At a luncheon recently ex-Governor
Foster M. Yoorhees, of New Jersey, told
this story on a distinguisned Virginian:
The son of the old Dominion had been
out with the boys. As he softly opened
the hall door the melodious voice of his
v better half greeted him with the query:
"What time is it ?"
?t?- ;0 oorir- mv dear." resoonded the
A? , J , A

"How can you say so," exclaimed his
spouse) "when the clock has just struck ?"
-X , "All right,". said the Virginian, his
voice thundering virtuous indignation.

Of ad?d Yankee clock against that of a
Virginia gentleman you may do so, but I
have my opinion of you!".

George Ade's Easy Boss
[ Judge Saunderson, who is practicing
law in Everett, Washington, formerly lived
in Kentland, Ind., the boyhood home
r of George Ade, the humorist, says Success.
. 4 "Ade was a peculiar character, in his
younger years," says the judge. He made
my office a sort of loafing place during the
little time he spent in loafing. He was
employed on a farm owned by a banker,
g One day he walked into the office and
said to me:
" 'That man is the best I ever worked
tor.1
" 'Why?' I asked, for I knew that some
thing fanny was coming from Ade. i
"'Well,' he replied, 'he doesn't ask a
man to do a day's work in ten hoars?he
gives him sixteen.'"

Thought Carpenter Usefhl. j
Daring the inspection of the hospital
corps of the Fourth Maryland Regiment
recently, one of the members was asked
? his occupation, says the Baltimore San.
"I am a carpenter," the man repled.
"Why, what canyon do for the corps?"
j inquired the inspector, "as the hospital
corps of regiment is generally composed
^ of pharmacists and medical students."
"I can make coffins," was the reply,
and it was eminently satisfactory. j
The Devil Clot Him.

was the first step that led him to ruin, said:
"The first thing that led me to my downfell

me that I could not shake him off."

IN THE PALMETTO STATE.
NTERESTING OCCURRENCES OF VARIOUS
KINDS IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
State News Boiled Down for Quick Reading
Pungent Paragraphs About Men
and Happenings.
The cotton seed oil mill at Townville,
Anderson county, was burned last Monday
morning. The total loss is about
$20,000. The mill was built last year.
Last Friday dispensary constables seized
a carload of whiskey at Cayce, just
across the river from Columbia, but no
one has put in a claim for it and the State
is that much better off.
A gun in the hands or an eieven-ycar old
white boy was discharged and killed
a negro girl sixteen years old. It happened
in chiefly a negro settlement near
Beaufort last Thursday evening.
Rudolph Rabens, who conducts a grocery
store on King 'street in Charleston,
was arrested last Friday on warrants
sworn out by postoffice inspectors, charging
him with complicity in the robbery
of postofflces. His place is said to have
been the rendezvous of the gang while in
Charleston.
Mr. Elbert H. Aull has been appointed
chief clerk of the engrossing department
for the coming legislature. Last session
it was under the direction of Mr. W. W.
Bradley, who has since been elected *o a
county office. Mr. Aull is thoroughly
competent and a better selection could
not have possibly been made.
Judge Brawley has sentenced the negro
A. P. Prioleau to pay $50 and imprisonment
in jail for three months. Prioleau
is the Charleston negro who was recently
found guilty of opening letters wnue
serving as railway mail clerk. It is stated
that be has discharged his negro attorneys
and employed a white lawyer and
will appeal bis case.
Governor Heyward last week offered a
reward of $1,000 for the capture of R.
A. Adams, the Colleton dounty white
man who escaped from the jail of that ,
county while under sentence of death for i
murder. Adams is said to be still in the
county near his home, but it is thought
that the lange price on his head will result
in his leaving or capture. <
Ned Oliver, a young white man of Orangeburg,
was arrested and bound over
to the United States court last week on
the charge of making counterfeit money. '
His trunk, which was being held pending
the payment of a board bill, was opened
and a purse containing nine spurious half <
dollars was found in it. He denies all
knowledge of the counterfeit and has en- 1
gaged counsel to fight the case.
William Hardin, a negro, was hanged
at Chester last Friday for the kUling of
his father-in-law. He was convicted at
the November term of court for that county
and the crime was committed some time
in September. Hardin was cruelly beating
his wife, and her father protested
against it. This enraged Harden, and he
seized bis shotgun and shot the old man
and then crushed hi? skull with the gun
barrel.
At Florence last Friday W. B. Howell,
a dispensary constable, shot and instantly
killed Joseph Blount, a detective for the
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. It is said
that Rowell saw Blount coming out of a
place which he supposed was a blind tiger,
and questioned him about it. Some hot
words and the lie passed, and Blount
struck at Rowell with a stick which he
carried. Rowell then drew his pistol and
fired with the above result.
A cadet was expelled from Clemson
college last week for stealing, and as
other articles were reported missing, the
rooms and personal effects of every student
were searched for the stolen property.
It was not found, however. The story
got out and a sensation was created by
the statement that this searching was
done by order of the faculty. Then the
students came out in a signed statement
saying that the corps of cadets and not
the faculty, was responsible for the searching.
The publication of the Southern Christian
Advocate, the organ of the Methodist
church in South Carolina, was, at the recent
session of conference, placed in the
hands of a board of seven managers, of
which four are preachers and three lay
men. The new board is composed of
Marion Dargan, W. A. Massabeau, R. A.
Child, W. P. Meadors, Geo. C. Hodges,
J. W. Hamel, and J. Fuller Lyon. Rev.
S. A. Nettles has the contract to publish
the paper, and the price will be $1.00 a
year, instead of $2. This arrangement
goes into effect one year from now.
The proposition to make 18 years the
age limit for admission to the Knights of
Pythias of the world, which was submitted
to and passed at the last session of
the supreme convention of that order,
has been approved by Charles E. Shively,
the supreme chancellor. Under the provisions
of the constitution the proposed
amendment will now go to the various
grand lodges for action.

Public School Libraries.
Editor The Bamberg Herald: In a lecture
given to the normal students of the '
South Carolina college on December 10th,
1904, Hon. O. B. Martin, State superintendent
of education, called attention to e
the fact that the legislature has appropri- t
ated $5,000 for the establishment of libra- r
.ries in the rural schools of South Caroli- t
ra, and that, although four hundred of a
these libraries have been established, there a
is money enough left in the State treasury t
for one hundred more. t
After the meeting of the next legislat- c
ure, which is not very far off, the money r
that is unused will go back into.the State f
treasury. The new library law ought to i
be appreciated, because it is a distinct ef- s
fort on the part of the legislature to aid
and build up the country schools. Bam- (
berg county has established seven of these t
rural libraries, but she should secure the i
five others before it is too late. The good t
results sureto follow will demonstrate the c
wisdom of our lawmakers. Success with <
them will open up the way for other im- t
provements and other helpful legislation, t
These libraries can to be secured with i
little work. A teacher, a trustee, or any s
public-spirited citizen in a community
can visit patrons, and in half a day raise 1
the necessary ten dollars by private sub- i
scription. Then he can get the trustees to <
draw a warrant for ten dollars in favor of 1
the county superintendent of education, i
who, as secretary of the county board, <
will approve such warrant, and will apply <
to the State boarcl for ah additional ten (
dollars. i
After the county superintendent gets s
the thirty dollars he will turn it over to 1
the trustees, who are to buy the libra- i
ry. The educational publishing compa- \
ny under contract will supply the books, t
freight prepaid, to the nearest railroad j
station, at prices which they have quoted
to the State superintendent of education, v
This company will furnish a substantial h
bookcase with lock and key free with v
each thirty dollar order.
There are many bright pupils in the 0
public schools of this county that are c
idling their time away for the lack of tl
some good reading matter. "A library is g.
a true fairyland," says Sir John Lubbock,
ua very palace of delight, and heaven of
repose' from the storms and troubles of the a
world. Rich and poor can enjoy it equally; 0
for here,a^ least, wealth gives us advantag- t]
es. You can transport yourself without de- '
lay and without expense to any part of the "
elobe, or even in any region of the skies, o
Von can call up the greatest men of the f,
past or the present of this or any other country."

FREE ADVERTISING ABUSE.
ngenuity and Persistency Used to Cheat the
Newspaper Publisher.
The demand for free advertising is in
ixtent, persistence and ingenuity beyond
he belief of any but those who have expeience
in the business. A man who would
lever think of going into a grocery store
md requesting the proprietor to donate
i barrel of flour or into a shoe store and
elling the owner that if he has no objec
ion he thinks he'll help himself to a pair
>f shoes, will walk confidently into a
tewspaper office and prefer his request
or several dollars' worth of free advertisng
and feel mighty offended if refused,
ays the Salt Lake City News.
All of which is true, agrees the Nyack
N. Y.) Star. The solicitor of free adverising
is always sure that the proprietor
vill be "glad of something to help fill up
,he paper." He is just as glad as the groceryman
is glad of some one to help carry
)ff his stock without payment. Time and
igain, under the guise of news items, mat*
;er is presented which is plain advertising
ind if used at all should be paid for as
mch.
The newspaper proprietor expects to
furnish a certain amount of free advertisng
to religious, charitable and public
enterprises. If he didn't he would be
looked 'on as a heathen, hard hearted,
nercen^ry, lacking in public spirit. His
contribution is accepted as a matter of
lourse, and rarely is he accorded a word
)f thanks. Sometimes he refuses to dolate
as much space as the promoter of
iome enterprise desires, and then he is
ooked upon as unreasonabl and disobligng.
The proprietor also expects and is
rilling to give a little free advertising t<*
hose who run paid advertisements in his
taper.
This is a matter of business courtesy
rhich is rarely abused. But with the
lorde of solicitors for free advertising
rhich constantly besiege the newspaper
ffices, with no possible claim upon its
ourtesis save the hope of getting somebing
for nothing the proprietor has no <
vmpathy whatever. I
The duties that newspaper proprietor <
nd editor owe to the public are numer- .
us, diverse and exacting. It is high time ]
taat public should understand that those
uties do not include the sacrifice of a
onsiderable amount of valuable space 1
jr the benefit of individuals or enter- <
rise which give nothing in return. i

"The same as lawyers," was the reply.
"But doctors' mistakes are buried six feet

We tender the family our sincere sympa- %

in Heaven. It was my sad duty to officiate *
at the funeral on the 18th in the afternoon. -si

As Chiekens Come Home. ' v
You may take the world as it comes and J
And you will be sure to find, ^
That fate will square all accounts she owes *
Whoever comes out behind;
And all things bad that a man has done,
By whatsoever induced,
Return at last to him, one by one,
As the chickens come home to roost.
Sow as you will, there's a time to reap,
For the good and the bad as well,
And conscience, whether we wake or sleep ;v||
Is either a heaven or hell;
And every wrong will find its place,
And every passion loosed, jsgBj
Drifts back and meets you face to face?'
Like chickens that come home to roost.
Whether you're over or under the sod,
The result will be the same,
You cannot escape the hand of God, - >3$
You must bear your sin and shame;
No matter what's carved on a marble slab,
When the items are all produfcetL
You'll find that St Peter wa&keeping "tab''
And the chickens came home to roost*
