Exercises were suspended at the graded school on Friday on account oi her death, she being a pupil of the school. Rosa was a bright child, and her death was a very sad one. She was attacked with abscesses on one of her limbs. These produced blood poison which caused her death. A Delightful Reception. In spite of the cold and rain on Thursday evening, the home of Dr. and Mrs. H. F. Hoover was beautiful and bright, for it was the occasion of a reception in honor of their guest, Miss Hoover, from Hampton. Only those who were fortunate enough to be present can fully appreciate how pleasing a picture was presented to the aye upon leaving dark clouds and muddy streets, and entering the cozy parlor where bright lights shone o'er beautiful ferns, palms, and hot house plants, blending their sweet fragrance and rich coloring with large clusters of white carnations. The feature of the evening was progressive whist. Nine interesting games were played, Mr. D. M. Saves being the lucky winner 61 the first prize, a hand tainted vase. The consolation, * sliver nanicure set, was won by Miss Pearle founts. After the awarding of the prizes the quests were invited into the dining room, where the same color-scheme was carried >ut with the addition of red ribbon gracefully festooned from the chandelier to the corners of the table. The hostess, with her usual graceful hospitality and brilliant conversational powers, was becomingly gowned in blue silk with exquisite rose applique trimmings. Hiss Hoover wore a beautiful gown of white silk with touches of blue paunel. The guests were: Miss Hannah Gale with Mr. J. D. Copeland, Jr., Miss Pearle founts with Mr. Henri H. Copeland, Miss Lizzie Sawyer with Mr. David Felder, Miss Lulie Bamberg with Mr. D. M. Eaves, Miss Mayme G. Jennings with Mr. J. A. Wyman, Miss Nina Riley with Mr. J. F. Darter, Miss Kate Felder with Mr. Harry Murphy, Miss Myra Hooton with Mr. jlrigsby Chandler, Mrs. J. C. Lewis and Miss Mamie Hoover. It's good for the sick and well and excellent for the young and well. All doctors recommend SHAW'S PURE MALT. Rev- T. J. Sandiftr Excluded from Church. Rev. T. J. Sandifer, a Baptist minister of Bamberg, was on Sunday, the 28th instant, excluded from the church here, of which he was a member, for the charge of immoral and unchristian conduct. He left Bamberg five or six weeks ago and went down in the vicinity of Walterboro, or near some of the churches where he was preaching and remained there till last Saturday a week ago, at which time he sold his horse and buggy and took the early train that morning for parts unknown. savincr to some of his friends that " ?7 ?/ O he would not return again. He was written to by one of the church officials that his case would in all probability come up for trial on last Sunday, but the letter was returned to the writer, having reached its destination after he had left. Fitting School Entertainment. In spite of the lowering clouds, heavy mist, and extreme cold last Friday evening, quite a large crowd assembled at the boys' hall, to enjoy the good things on the program, as well as the good things on the tables. Following is the.program in full. Piano duet?Mrs. A. M. Brabham and Mrs. A. W. Knight. Vocal Solo?Mrs. W.C.Koger. Piano Solo?Miss Louise Sheridan. Vocal Solo?Mr. W. C. Koger.. Selection-Reading?Miss Marie Stokes. Mixed Quartette?Mrs. W. C. Koger, Mrs. H. J. Brabham, Jr., Messrs. C. W. Rentz and W. C. Koger. Piano Solo?Miss Agnes McCants. Male Trio?Messrs. C. W. Rentz, W.C. Koger, and W. D. Roberts. Piano Solo?Miss Alma Arant. Vocal Solo?Mrs. W. C. Koger. There had been three other good numbers promised, but owing to sickness and the inclement weather, these persons were unable to attend. After the program was concluded oysters, salads, ambrosia, charlotte, and cakes were served. All the delicious candy was disposed of, and after expenses were paid $27.00 was left as the proceeds of the entertainment. This is a much smaller amount than was expected, but the weather made it impossible for the attendance to be anything like what it should have been. However, the ladies are thankful for this and are glad that so many as did, came out. .. .? Lyeeum Number. Don't forget the next number on the lyceum course is coming Friday evening, February 2nd. This attraction will be worth while attending. It is the GilesBlake Concert Company, and you can't afford ;to'miss it. The New Baptist Minister. This week the Baptist Press, published at Greenwood, prints a cut of Kev. A. J. Foster, the new Baptist minister at this place, and gives a short sketch of his career as follows: "Arthur J. Foster, the new pastor of the Baptist church at Bamberg, of whom we present a picture oh this page, is a native of Indiana, but has spent most of his life in Tennessee. Was educated in Colfax college; Carson and Newman college (Tenn.), and the Southern Baptist Theologicalseminary, where he graduated in 1905. He taught mathematics in the Andersonville, Tenn., Institute for a year, and while in the seminary was pastor of Salem and New Haven Baptist churches. "He entered upon his work in Bamberg, January fourteenth, and has already made many friends. The people are much pleased with Brother Foster." Death of Mr. C. E. Tyler. Mr. C. E. Tyler, of Denmark, died at his home in that town very* suddenly Tuesday evening. Mr. Tyler was in his usual health up to a few moments before he expired. He was express agent at Denmark, and had met the evening train as usual. He went home and ate a hearty supper, and while sitting in front of the fire he was suddenly taken ill and almost fell in the fire. His death came a short while afterwards, and was caused, so we have been informed, by acute indigestion. The burial took place today (Thursday) at the Denmark cemetery. m_i? -1 . ...... Air. lyier was auuut uity ycaio v*u, and leaves a wife and several children. He had been married three times. A few years ago he married a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Simmons. He was a mem* ber of the town council of Denmark, and occupied a position of prominence in the affairs of his town, his church, and community. He was a good citizen, and his death is a distinct loss to hia town and county. He was a member of the Baptist church. He was quiet and unassuming, but was possessed of those fine traits of character which make up the true man and good citizen. Death of Mr. Frank McMillan. Mr. Frank McMillan, of the Cope section, died Tuesday. He had benn ill for a long time with some heart affection. He was about thirty-five years old, and leaves a wife and two children. He married a daughter of Mr. E. B. Guess, of the Denmark section. The burial took place Wednesday afternoon at Union church. Mr. McMillan was well known and had relatives in Bamberg, he being closely related to Mrs. H. J. Brabham and others. It will be remembered that only a few months ago his aged mother was accidentally burned to death. A Good Suggestion. The evil of members of the general assembly becoming candidates for offices to be elected by the body of which they are members seems to be on the increase, and it would be a good thing for the State if a law were enacted making members of the general assembly ineligible for any office to be filled by an election by that body.?Anderson Mail. DEVOURED Xy SAVAGES Hemaitu of a Campfire and Dried Hand Gold Grebu* cm* Story, On the desolate shores of the gulf of California, near a deserted Indian village, a wandering sheep herder has tffend the charred remains of a huge feast fire and the circular path of an Indian war dance and near the embers a pair of dried human hands and the trappings and books on nautical anlon/ta -a-hlnh nnpfl helonffed to HeniT Miller and Gas Ollnder, the explorers, whose fate on Tiburon island has been shrouded in mystery since the day of their departure In search of gold. The news of the discovery of the Mlller-Olinder relics was'received in Los Angeles, Cel., by George W. Knox. There seems little doubt that the discovery tells the true story of the death of Miller and Ollnder. Hinging on the Mlller-Olinder tragedy, if tragedy it be, is the disappearance of a second party, whose mission 1 to the grim Island was to find Miller and Ollnder. Lieutenant Thomas Grindell of Douglas, Ariz., left on June X 1905, at the head of a relief expedition of six, declaring that the island would be scoured from end to end in the hope of uncovering some trace of the missing explorers. When he reached Guaymas, Mexico, he wrote that he expected to return to the Mexican coast about Aug. L Then Tiburon island shut its curtain of silence about him, and there were seven more to be sought Lieutenant GrlndeU's brother, Professor B. P. Grindell, went to Tiburon n ROBINSON WAS KTT.7YKT) BY THE NATIVES. island on bis second searching expedition, and it was in connection with bis search that the relics of Miller and Olinder were discovered. The other members of the missing Grindell party were Qavid In grab am, Olan Ralls and J. E. Hoffman. Hoffman is the only one who ever returned to civilization. He has never been able to give any definite information of the fate of his companions. He says, however, that the Seris Indians are cannibals and that there is little hope for the survival of Grlndell and his followers. Several explorers who have visited the Tiburon islands in the past have been attacked and have narrowly escaped. About ten years ago a newspaper man named Robinson left Phenlx, Ariz., with two companions to explore the islands. For months no word came from the party. It was finally established that Robinson was killed by ths natives. The fact was brought to the attention of the Mexican government which assisted In locating the body. Altrnism. She?Papa doesn't want us to be married for ten years yet. But don't look so worried, George, you will still be young ten years from now. He?Yes, darling, but I wasn't thinking of myself. Truths Worth Remembering. If you find fault with others it will make them faultier. Worry about your work, it will make you less capable. Anticipate evils, you will be sure to bring them upon you. Imagine you are disliked, it will make you less likeable. Talk about your ill health, it will make you less healthy. Sit bemoaning the past, you will never get on in the future. Talk much of what you are going to do, you will never do it. Complain of lac* of opportunities, you'll miss what yon have. Wail bitterly that it is an unjust world and life not worth living, you'll find it come true for sure, in your own case at least. LUCKIEST MAN IN ARKANSAS. "I'm the luckiest man in Arkansas," writes H. L. Stanley, of Bruno, "since the restoration of my wife's health after five years of continuous coughing and bleeding from the lungs; and I owe my good fortune to the world's greatest medicine, Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption, which I know from experience will cure consumption if taken in time.
