An exchange points out that there is a law ordering drivers of vehicles on public roads to keep to the right when meeting other vehicles. In a city or town promiscous driving is attended with much inconvenience. If all drivers would keep on the right side of the street much trouble and turning and annoyance would be saved. There is another trouble that could be averted. Sometimes one overtakes a slow vehicle which occupies the middle of the road and not room either side to pass. The driver of the loaded or slow team should always turn to one side and make room for the other to pass. Twice a day the streets are crowded with school children. They are very much like older people and like to take up the whole sidewalk, and persons meeting them find it very inconvenient to pass. Let teachers instruct them to leave half the sidewalk at all times for others. Then when crowds rush from the opera honse and churches, they walk out six to eight abreast, or just as many as cover the ."dewalk. People going the other way eitl zt have to take to the street or be bumped against by rude men and women, who do not know enough to keep to the right. A little common sense and politeness would suggest to them that they should turn to the right and give people going in the opposite direction half a chance. A Circuit Preacher's Notes. It was at a big meeting, according to the Florida Times-Union, that all this was said,more of a citizens' meeting than a church gathering, and Mr. Dukes asked: I "Now what can you do for the preacher? I don't intend" to put the burden of my living upon any one family, but up on all of you turn ana turn aoout. i win not, however, go where the latch-string is not hanging out of the door. What can you do for the preacher?" One old lady who had a dim recollection of a small church in the pine woods of Georgia, when she was a girl, said: "I kin eat him, but I can't sleep him." "That's good, now who next?" asked the missionary. "Well, is Sister Jenkins is gwine to eat him, I'll agree to sleep him, but I can't wash him." "That's good, who next?" Then auother sister spoke up and said: "Well, I'll wash him. but I ain't much on biled shirts." G. Prank Bamberg handles the best buggies and wagons, yet the prices are reasonable. How to Enter a Printing Office. An Alabama exchange gives wholesome advice when it says; "In entering the printing office, you should advance to the door and give three distinctive raps, or knock the door down. The devil will attend to your alarm. You will give him your name, postoffice address and the number of years you are owing for the paper. He will admit you. You will advance to the center of the room and address the manager with the following countersign. Extend the right hand about two feet from the body, with thumb and index finger clasping a five dollar bill, which drop into the extended hand of the manager, who will grasp , A (Ka Kill A ffcpr o-ivinc your utiuu auu wu >? .. ? D 0 him the news of your locality you will be permitted to retire with a receipt for an obligation properly discharged." "I THANK THE LORD!" cried Hannah Plant, of Little Rock, Ark., "for the relief I got from Bucklen's Arnica Salve. It cured my fearful running sores, which nothing else would heal,and from which I had suffered for 5 years." It is a marvelous healer for cuts'burns and wounds.

"No, she's too weak to be dangerous any more!" Ideal Court Prayer. Prior to the commencement of a term of Court at Manchester, N. H., several years ago, Judge Doe, in his usual brisk way, requested the sheriff to invite some clergyman to make the customary opening prayer, provided one could be found who would be brief. The sheriff, in his quest to fill tbe bill, met the Rev. Mr. Buckley, a minister who had charge of one of the city churches. The sherin toia mm warn, was wanted, that the prayer mast be 6hort, and suggested that the quicker he could earn the $8 fee allowed the more satisfactory would be his efforts. While demurring at the mercenary and commercial spirit of the invitation, Mr. Buckley concluded to accept, and immediately repaired to the court house. A brief introduction to the Judge, call of silence by the sheriff, and the minister's dignified form arose. With closed eyes and solemn visage he slowly and impressively delivered the following brief prayer: "Oh, Lord! bless this court and bless these lawyers, make them feel that life is short and time precious, not to be wasted in empty declamation, for Christ's sake, amen." Judge Doe afterward said this should be adopted as a model prayer for such an occasion. A DISASTROUS CALAMITY.

Methodists to Dedicate Their New Building Next Sunday. Branchyille, Nov. 11.?The Methododist church will be dedicated Sunday, Nov. 19th, with sermon morning and night by Rev. John C. Kilgo, president of Trinity College, N. C., one of the best and most eloquent preachers of the church. The church, which was commenced about two years ago, and completed this year, is one of the prettiest buildings of its kind in this section. Much of the credit for thb early completion and in settlement in full for the church is due Rev. S. A. Nettles, as well as some of the building committee. The ladies of Branchville also deserve a great deal of credit for the valuable assistance they have given Mr. Nettles and the committee in raising the necessary funds for the completion of the church. The building of a $10,000 church by the Methodists of Branchville was at first thought to be a pretty big undertaking, but the church will, by date of dedication, be completed, paid for, and the members will have a house of worship of which they may well be proud. Clielso D. Peruchi. Mr. Chelso D. Peruchi, who is to appear with the Perucbi-Gypzene Company at the Bamberg opera house for 3 nights, November 20-21-22, has fairly won and has been readily accorded by the most ....A.nntino stritista tho title nf nnp nf the l^UUOC 1 vativ^ V^l iUVJ VUV, VIV4V W*. VMW foremost comedians on the American stage. Mr. Pernchi has in the past few years attained a widespread popularity of such proportions as has been awarded to few other actors of his class. In the past few years he has appeared in many of the well known companies of the large cities with great success. The company includes that charming little comedienne, Miss Mabel Gypzene, who will be seen at each performance in her singing and dancing specialties. The opening bill for Monday night will be that stirring comedy drama entitled "A Romance Above the Clouds," with a special matinee on Wednesday. Colleton Cotton Mills Reopened. The whistle of the Colleton cotton mills is again heard in Walterboro. The mill started up under the new management last Monday morning with a large complement of help. The mill has recently been reorganized with the following officers: John F. Lucas president, Walter Pringle, vice president, Julien Mitchell, Jr., secretary and treasurer. Directors: Paul Sanders, P. R. Rivers, Julien Mitchell, Jr., Walter Pringle, and John F. Lucas. Jas. T. McGregor, an experienced mill man of Fort Mill, S. C., was elected superintendent. Mr. McGregor comes highly recommended and it is believed that the mill will prosper under his supervision. T. P. Murray, one of Walterboro's rising young men, has been appointed bookkeeper. The mill opened under very auspicious circumstances. The hum of machinery will again be heard in Walterboro and it is hoped that the development of this property will inure to the benefit of the entire community.?Walterboro .Press and Standard. "The Beggar Prince." This charming opera, which is to be presented at Folk's opera House this (Thursday) evening, is really a first class attraction. The company has played in Anderson, Yorkville, Gaffney, and other good size towns in this State recently, and the audiences were delighted with their performance. The editor of this paper believes it to be a high-class attraction, for Ed. H. Decamp, editor of the Gaffney Ledger, manager of the theatre there, personally endorses it, as also does W. B. Moore, manager of the theatre at Yorkville. We know these men, and they would not endorse a show unless it was first class. Their endorsements are of the strongest kind, too, The people composing this company are good actors and singers, and our people can be assured of a really meritorious performance, Seats on sale at Hoffman's. This is the only opera booked for this season, so you had better attend or you will miss a treat. Fitting School Lycenm. The next number on the Carlisle Fitting School Lyceum course will be an illustrated science lecture, "The World Builders or the Wonders of Oxygen," by Prof. H. Y. Richards, of Chicago. This attraction will be given in the Filting School chapel Tuesday evening, December 5th. This number is one of j real merit. The many experiments made | by Prof. Richards will make this an evening not only instructive but very entertaining. Prof. Richards comes to us from Wilmington, N. C., where he delivers this interesting lecture. From here he goes to Columbia to fill a number on the Lyceum course of the Methodist college. Season tickets can be had from W. D. I Roberts at the Fitting School. General admission tickets will be on sale at C. R. Brabham's store by Mr. M. W. Brabham. Reserved seats, 50 cents. "I am a poor man," he began; "but if the devotion of a true and loving heart goes for anything with you; I?"

I Methodist Church Debt j Those in charge of the matter are hav- ? ing very good success in securing sub- j scriptions to pay off the debt of about z ?3.200 remaining on the new Methodist s church, and it is hoped that the fall t amount will be raised, as all subscriptions * are made with this proviso. The debt j ought to be paid off, and now is the best i time to do it. Our people are prosperous * and the longer the debt is carried the t( more of a burden it will become. The e Methodist congregation is amply able to a raise this money without much effort or sacrifice, if every member will do his J duty. All should be represented on the subscription list, no matter if the amount is small. Let's pay off the debt so that the church can be dedicated to the wor- si ship of God.

Bishopville, S. C., November ll.?Mr. H. Le Gare Smith, a worthy farmer of the Wisacky neighborhood, died yesterday under very peculiar and distressing circumstances. Some fifteen days ago, as he was lighting a fire in his living room, one of "the house cats, usually a tame and gentle ani mal, suddenly dashed towards him and sunk her teeth into his hand with such venom that she had to be choked to break her hold upon it. The wound was dressed in Bishopville by Dr. McLuref but in a few days blood poisoning set in and Mr. Smith died yesterday morning about 8 o'clock, suffering terribly until relieved by death.

It will be of general interest to note that quite a number of judicial elections will be held by the general assembly at its next meeting. According to the records in the office of the secretaiy of state the elections that will bo held are . '"I to fill the positions now held by Chief Justice Pope, Judge Dantzler, Judge Aldrich, Judge Purdy, Judge Watts, Judge Gage and Judge Klugh. These half dozen' elections will enliven , 5 the next session to a considerable extent." It is not known whether all of the present judiciary whose terms expire during the year 1905 will be candidates for re-election. There have been suggestions that some of the present members of the bench will retire to private life, and that they have had quite enough of the worries and tribulations of life on the bench. ? ?
