Those Prized by Men and Women in Differ, ent Countries. Mme Miriam Harry, the Persian novelist, who has traveled about the world a good deal, tells the public what evidences of affection are prized by men and women in different countries. In Jerusalem she once met a young Arab who had not a tooth left in her head. Mme Harry's native servant said: "Lucky woman, her husband knocked all her teeth out. He does love her." In Conchin-China Mme Harry was told that there a husband was not believed to love a wife properly until he had made a present to her of a coffin. In Galicia, among the sect of Masachists, a man values his wife's affection by the degree of suffering which she causes him to endure. Mme Harry there .

Never Speak 111 of a Woman. An exchange says the following gem from an unknown author should be pasted in every man's hat as a reminder of his duty when he desires to speak ill of any woman. Remember this: "Beware how you speak of a woman's character. Think how many years she has been building it, of the wounds received,of the toils and privations endured; and let no suspicion follow her actions. The purity of woman is the salvation of the race, and hope of future greatness and the redemption of man. Wipe out her purity and man sinks beneath the wave of despair with not a single star to guide 1ii8 life into a channel of safety. Think, then, before you speak, and remember that any hog can root up the fairest flower that ever grew, so the vilest can iHin the purest character. Dragged by a Horse. Johnston, May 18.?Mr. Jeter W. Crim was killed this afternoon in a peculiarly : horrible manner. I Mr. Crim had been out plowing and about sundown started home from the V" field, riding the horse, sitting sideways. In some way the horse bolted, and Mr. Crim's feet became entangled in the har - - ? -_e _ ne88. He was dragged lor a quarter 01 a t mile, with the horse going at full speed. When the horse was stopped, nearly at / Mr. Crim's home, the unfortunate man was still alive but unpble to speak and in . that condition he lived for about thirty -r.. . . J minutes. Mr. Crim was 60 years of age and was a Confederate veteran. H,e was a fanner and senior member of the firm of Crim & Son. He was a prominent member of the < . Johnston Baptist church and a higly respected citizen. He is survived by his wife, who was Miss Lizzie Cogburn, and six sons and one daughter. Effect of Yankee Invasion. "I don't take much stock in the new . way of pronouncing that people have these days," says W. W. Nordyke, of Birmingham, Ala. "Take the word 'interEST.' 'Everybody pronounces in INTerest' these days. If you say you are interESTed in anything people look at you with pity. One day I went to an old school teacher, who has the reputation of being one of the best grammarians in the j South, and asked him: ' " 'When did interEST get to be INTer est?' and he replied: " 'When the d? d Yankees came South in the '60.'"

Caruth, of Kentucky, tells this story of an experience he once had on & visit to a little Ohio town, says Harper's Weekly: "I J , went up there on legal business." he says, "and, knowing that I should have to stay all night, I proceeded directly to the only hotel. The landlord stood behind the desk and regarded me with a kindly air as I registered. It sems that he was a little hard of hearing, a fact of which I was not aware. As I j abbed the pen back into the dish of birdshot I said. 'Can you direct mev to the bank ?' He looked at me blankly for a second, then, swinging the register around, he glanced down swiftly, caught the 'Louisville' after my name and an expression of complete understanding lighting up his countenance, he said: 'Certainly, sir. You will find the bar right through that door at the left.'" HOT WEATHER PILES. Persons afflicted with piles should be careful at this season of the year. Hot weather and bad drinking water contribute to the conditions which makefiles more painful and dangerous. DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve stops the pain, draws out the soreness and cures.

State News Boiled Down for Quick Reading Pungent Paragraphs About Men and Happenings. Greenville, S. C., has been selected as l the next meeting place of the Southern Presbyterian General Assembly. Walter Hill, a young negro of Edgefield, being jealous of his wife, killed her on Monday night. He first shot at her with a Winchester rifle, but missed; then he crushed her skull with the weapon. He made his escape. A special to the News and Courier from Cheraw says that Cash Watts, son of Judge Watts, accidentally hit a negro while shooting his pistol in the road on Friday night and the wounded man is in a cnucai conuiuou. The Citadel cadets revolted one day last week and refused to enter the dining room on account of the food given them and the manner in which it was served. A protest was made by them to the faculty and the conditions improved. The announcement has been made that the Southern railway will build a double track to Summerville, 22 miles from Charleston. The double track now extends as far as the ten-mile hill, and the engineers are at work grading the road for the extension. Mack Jackson, a negro, shot and killed his brother, Lewis Jackson, at the latter's home at Campobello last Sunday morning. They quarreled over the ownership of some whiskey, and the dead man called his brother a fool, who then seized a shotgun and killed Lewis. The opening of the Pee Dee river by the United States engineer's department will make the river navigable from Cheraw to the ocean and the Charleston Steamship company, which was organized last Monday, will doubtless avail itself of this opportunity to extend its service high up into the State. A special election was held in Pickens county last Saturday on the question of voting out the dispensary. The anti dispensaryites won by a vote of about four to one. One by one the upper counties are getting rid of the dispensary, but we very much doubt that the absence of dispensaries will do much to promote temperance and sobriety. Clinnie, the thirteen year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. N. P. Smith was accidentally shot in the breast with a shotgun last Friday afternoon in the town of Marion. She and several other children wereplaying on the lawn at the home of Dr. Utley when the accident occurred. A boy in the crowd had the gun and it was discharged. She died a few hours later. It is estimated that there are yet 14,000,000 acres of undeveloped land in South Carolina. Think of the great increase in the value of taxable property, the increase in the volume of all lines of business, the additional support that would be given to schools and churches, not to mention innumerable other advantages, were these vast acres peopled with a thrifty class of white people. S. C. Bojs in Baltimore. University of Maryland, Baltimore, Md., May 22.?Dr. Vance W. Brabham, of Bamberg, S. C., who, a few days ago, graduated in medicine from the university, has been appointed resident physician to the maternity hospital of the University of Maryland for one year. Other graduates from South Carolina in the medical department were Edward McQueen Salley, Orangeburg, and Stuart Baskin Sherond, Iva. Mr. Kivy Pearlstine,'06,of Branchville, S.C., has been appointed clinical assistant for one year to the University of Maryland Hospital. t "The Stingiest Man." The stingiest man in Anne Arundel county was married by a justice of the peace and paid the marriage fee in turnips. For a wedding trip he brought his bride to Baltimore in a market wagon, and for a wedding dinner they ate bologna and crackers. Before starting for home he bought a dime's worth of stick candy. As the bride opened the sack for the second stick he stammered: "Say supposin' we save the rest of this here candy for the folks at home." Since the weather became warm he has stopped the clock in the house to keep it from wearing out, and listens through the open window to hear his neighbor's j clock strike.?Baltimore Sun. Going Some. Speakin' of fast ridin' I suppose I took the goldurndest fastest ride out in Western Kansas of any man who ever rode. I hadn't much of anything to do one fall, and I put in the time a trappin' jack rab ^ ^ i 11 bits. \ I finally managea to get tugetuer 100 live jack rabbits, and then, just for amusement I hitched them rabbits up, two by two, and trained 'em to drive. They got to be as gentle as dogs, and when the whole 100 were hitched onto a light buggy they could snake it along as easy as could be. I got a heap of fun in drivin' round over the prairie with that team of jack rabbits, but one day I was drivin' when a pack of hounds came in sight.going full tilt after an antelope. In aminute them jack rabbits were flyin'and I couldn't hold 'em. Gentlemen,the time we made beat the fastest record. We went so fast that I hadn't no chance to breathe without turning my face the other way from what we were goin'. Well gentlemen, them jack rabbits run just 10 miles and 4 rods by actual measurement before I could get 'em slowed down, and when I looked at my watch I found that we had made them 10 miles in just 4 minutes and 10 seconds. . I want to say to you gentlemen that was goin' some.?Truthful James, in Seneca, Kansas, Tribune. I Answer to Billy?The Devil is Loose. Editor Bamberg Herald:? It is true as Billy has heerd, It is time for Bamberg being skeered; Yes rite on ban', de debil is loose, And de police sleep, and de calaboose Empty on account so many billy goats loose, Like de little Billy making such fuss, Cause de sheep wants laws, Like Moses has sed. It is so, dat dis here town Is falling fast and going down, And little if any dat is good Going on in de neighburhood, And de sabbath is broken ebery day, So many Billy goats in de way, So many Billy goats running at large, So many kids have we in de farge. It is true dat Moses' laws Is no more counted and am gone In Bamberg. ? - ? n:n_ i SO It IS lime as rmiy uas ueeru For all de Billy goats getting skeerd In Bamberg. It is not fur off, but it is true, I have said it and am going too. Yes der is a plague some time called Der national game of base ball Er going on in Bamberg, Dat dam de kids and Billy goats, Dat goes ter see it'or ter play Just fer fun on er-week-er day, Which Moses wrote was innocent?not When he was on der mounten top. It sure is true dat de bad spirits loose, In Bamberg. It appears to me as Moses has said There is none got er gun to shoot, To slay de Billy goats in Bamberg. God says son of man. Put on the whole armor of God And cry out against all de Billy goats in Bamberg. Then we should do as Christians true, Do as God would have us do, Hit all de goats in Bamberg, And Billy too, who? who? who? Yes Moses said Billy too. Den let de goats turn ter sheep, Which the good Master wants ter keep, Way down yonder in Bamberg. Then de Sabbath we will keep, Wonce er week in Bamberg. Then God will be our Master, And Christ our Sheperd in Bamberg. Then Moses could no longer cry Against de enterprise of Bamberg. Now der wonce was a leetle child, He was de bestes, he wuz so wise, Dat his mama had ter hide him From a great goat like Billy. Dis big goat he died and went Ter punishment, like Billy will Unless he repent and cease to play ball, Like Billy does, against God's law's.. Den dis good child went ter work^ And stirred up all de debilment, As Moses did in Bamberg. And de people cried away with him, He is too good for us, As dey did against Moses in Bamberg. But dis good child to earth was sent To keep de Billy goats out of debilment, Tn thnsp who ter theatres cro. And ter de diamond do flow, And he has said if dey repent He will keep dem oat er aebilment, So dis good child from de sky do cry, Repent, repent, or lest ye die A Billy in Bamberg. So listen to what Moses said, Or else de cry will be, he ded, he ded, He is gone ter punishment Fer all his debilment in Bamberg. Bat Moses died and is at rest Fur crying oat against debilment. A new Moses in Bamberg treads And fits a cap on Billy's head, Billy sed dis cap do not flt, So he did at Moses hit. Bat Moses said Billy it do fit, If it was you dat got hit. Moses said Billy do not throw, For God said Moses tell him so, And Moses done as he was taught, To keep Billy from going ter naught. Rnt Moses did not know De plain truth would hurt so, But God said you must go And Moses went and found it so, And true Moses in God's way went, . And now he rests in de furmement. But where will Billy go Unless he repent, repent, And den keep out er debilment ? Den Billy will Moses' brother Aaron be, And he will say I now Bamberg's evils see, Den he will say Moses dis evil we will fight, Until we run dis debilment out. Den all de goats will turn to sheep, And serve God every dav in der week. Now Moses' gun is still loaded, With God's word it exploded, God said Moses keep it loaded, And point it at de base ball ground, Where all de Billy goats are found. To these goats God's son was sent, And now he cries repent, repent. Respectfully, Moses. Oar Pension List. The Columbia Record seems to think that South Carolina newspapers can not afford tu criticise other States for abuse of the pension law, when we have so much of the evil here at home. The Record says the State board has found hundreds of names on the list which ought not to be there. This is not meant as an attack on the old soldiers, because they are entitled to all the State feels justified in pay ing, yet in almost every county men who never shouldered a musket and who never heard the sound of a battle are living on the money which should go to those who fought for the South. All of us can doubtless point to some particular case of grafting. "If the newspapers," says The Record, "by publishing the county lists are instrumental in having the names of those not entitled to pen sions stricken off they wiii in some measure perform a duty to the public and to the Confederate soldiers." TERRIFIC RACE WITH DEATH. "Death was fast approaching," writes Ralph F. Fernandez, of Tampa, Fla., describing his race with death, "as a result of liver trouble and heart disease, which had robbed me of sleep and all interest in life. I had tried many different doctors and several medicines, but got no benefit, until I began to use Electric Bitters. So wonderful was their effect, that in three days I felt like a new man, and today I am cured of all my troubles." Price 50c. Guaranteed by all druggists at Bamberg; Felder & Matthews, Denmark. V' V * \ V v COUNTRY NEWS LETTERS. SOME INTERESTING HAPPENINGS IN YARIOUS SECTIONS. News Items Gathered All Aronnd the County and Elsewhere. Death of Dr. J. L. Kearse. Olar, May IS.?Dr. James L. Kearse, aged 79, died here yesterday. His death was not unexpected, as he has been very ill for some time. Dr. Kearse was highly educated. Before the war he practiced for the large rice planters east of Walterboro, and was for four years a surgeon in the Confederate service. Since the war., he has lived on his farm here, a veritable hermit. He possessed many noble traits of character, was a gentleman of the old school, a gifted linguist, a successful physician, but was very eccentric. He never married and belonged to no church. His remains were laid to rest today, just in front of his old home, a spot he dearly loved. Peace to his ashes. Affairs in Allendale. Allendale, May 20.?Mr. J. M. Jennings, of Bamberg, is at present engaged in boring an artesian well here. The location of the well is between the school building and the town hall. Miss Lucy Darlington left on Monday last for Alexandria, Va., where she will spend the summer. The Southern Bell Telephone company has a long distancejpay station here now. Mr. R. H. Middleton, of Augusta, is constructing the line and also reconstructing the local 'phones. The town council is spending a good deal of time and money on the streets and roads; the results are quite gratifying. The town expects to put in an electric light plant in the near future. The railroad commission and the managers of the Charleston and Western Carolina Railway came down on a special last Monday for the purpose of making preliminary arrangements for the new depot. 0 """"" Bookkeeper Arrested. Spartanburg, May 16.?William H. Zimmerman, bookkeeper and cashier of the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph company in this city, was today arrested here on a warrant sworn out by an inspector for the American Surety company of New York on the charge of embezzling $125, which amount, it is said, will be materially increased when all the reports shall have been received from connecting exchanges. The accused this afternoon waived preliminary examinaton before Magistrate Kirby, who released him on bail to await the action of the grand jury in July next. Zimmerman, who is only 24 years old, [has hitherto been regarded as a young man of uncommon promise. He is well connected. His friends offered.to make restitution, but the American Surety company, which is on his bond, declined to compromise the matter. ' Stands Up to Sleep. For twenty years Mary Dickerson, a servant in the family of Mrs. B. H. Smoot of Cleveland, Ohio, has slept at night leaning against the wall while standing on her feet. Her case has just come to the tnrnvlpf1<M? nf thplnral nhvsir.iAnfi and has created much interest. Mrs. Dickerson is seventy-nine years of age, a small woman, but exceedingly strong and wiry for one of her years. She informed the physicians that for more than fifty years she was addicted to the use of morphine, but has cured herself of the habit through becoming converted at a religious revival. "It's this way," she said: "When I took the dope I had the most terrible dreams. The more morphine I took the worse the dreams got. I found that when I took the dope and went to bed I would dream of falling into hell's fire or going through the worst tortures. I just couldn't stand it and I'd have to get up and take more dope. I couldn't afford that. I had just money enough to buy a little of the stuff at a time and couldn't afford to take it day and night. So I started to sleep in a chair. That was better, but the dreams still came, and so I started to sleep standing up. Then I had no bad dreams, and I've kept it up ever since. I couldn't sleep in bed now if I wanted to." A Negro Shot. Union, May 17.?An unfortunate affair occurred at Mr. W. M. Palmer's place east of Union on Monday, as the result of which Charles Long, colored, aged 22, now lies in a critical condition. It seems that Long had worked for Mr. Palmer, and having proved himself a nuisance Mr. Palmer ordered him to leave the premises. Repeated visits met with repeated orders to leave. On one of the last visits Long cursed Mr. Palmer roundly and put his hand to his hip pocket, seeming to. indicate that he was armed. The next day Mr. Palmer, seeing Long returning, took down his shotgun and went to meet him. Words passed, Long seized the gun, whereupon Mr. Palmer fired, and Long is now in a desperate condition. Vice President and Mrs. Fairbanks have selected a five hundred dollar inkstand, which will be paid for by the government and will become the private property of Mr. Fairbanks when he retires from office. There is something in the vice presidency after all. Bamberg. .

Editor The Bamberg Heraldi?Sinee my last letter to the Herald I am in receipt of a request from one of your subscribers (a personal friend) that I describe through the columns of the Herald the beauties and attractions of Sul.Evan's - ;/ Island and the Isle of Palms. It would \ be well if our Bamberg friends would avail themselves of the many oppoiitmi- ~ ties offered during the summer, and, by J. visiting these resorts, see for themselves,.-.. as no pen picture can do them justice. -; ^ In the first place the trip from any.;- . ^ given point in the city to the pavilion at trSfi the Isle of Palms abounds in of beauty and interest. Taking the belt line trolley we pass many handsome and inter- . eating buildings. On Meeting street the Charleston, Argyle, and St. John's v hotels, the great old Central Market, the handsome Commercial Club, the new ~:-lp post office, court house, city hall, St. Michal's church, that historic old place of -|p| worship so well known to all. In the -raj center aisle of this beautiful building, is the pew where George Washington worshipped ; just as it was years ago so it stands now. The very chair in which: 'v ^ this great leader and father of his country . M sat is still in his place and the pew is still known as "Washington's pew." But I have not time to describe in detail each building as we pass or -we will S M never reach our destination, the Isle of Palms. Let us, therefore, board the "Comorodore Perry," and take a seat on the upper deck which commands a perfect view of the water, city, and surround ing Islands. Castle Pinckney, the two light houses, Fort Sumter, whose history, is fresh in the memory of all from gray' ] 'M haired men to thoughtlees youth, Fort Moultrie on Sullivan's Island, made famous by the daring deed of William Jasper. The island is well fortified and garrison- ->|| ed, and the daily dress parades and drills by Uncle Sam's soldier boys keeps the place alive. Many new cottages have been built, ample boarding house and - ^ hotel accommodations supplied, and quite a number of families have already moved . down. Surf bathing, strolls on the beach, /-||| card parties, and hops and concerts at -M tVio hnt.pl are & few of the attractions '"> the island offers. At the Isle of Palms the attractions are even more varied. The spot itself is most beautiful, deriving its name from the thousands of stately palms which surround it The daily excursions ^8 from other towns, semi weekly concerts } J| and hops, a dip in the ocean, fishing, a , ramble in the woods, carotussels, steeple chase, ferris wheel, merry go round, are 'Jji some few of the many pleasures which attract large crowds to the place. Ample ^ hotel accommodations are to be found there, as on the Island, and many cottages '* just built will be occupied during the season. I fear even now I have given but a :'fj| meagre description and crude picture of the Isle of Palms. If I haveomited to touch on any subject which my friends would : -V find interesting I will do so in my next.
