Patterson, congressman from the second district and a can- ' didate for re-election, could not be present at the campaign meeting here Tues- ^ day, on account of his duties in Washing- < ton, but sent the following letter, which 1 was read by county Chairman H. C. Folk: Hon. H. C. Folk, Chairman Democratic Executive Committee, Bamberg county, Bamberg, S. C. My Dear Sir:?In pursuance of the assignments made by the State Democratic Committee, the State campaign patty, consisting of all candidates for State offices, and candidates for Congress, will address the citizens of your county at your county seat on the 26th instant.. I regret that my official duties will prevent me from attending the meeting. ? 5-- -r ri '1 fie present session oi ouu^tcss um i been a long, tedious and important one. | A great many measures of interest to the public have been and are now pending, and it is of the utmost importance that every member of Congress should stand by his post of duty during the closing days to protect the people from rash, unwise and hasty legislation, so common to legislative bodies in the last hours before adjournment. It would afford me much pleasure to attend the meeting and meet my constituents, and give them an account of my stewardship, but my official duties require my presence here, and I hold that a public and official duty is the highest obligation an officer or citizen should know, and I feel that I would be unworthy of the trust and confidence imposed in me were I to desert my official duties, at this time, to go to my district in my own personal interest to seek re-election to this high office, which I now hold at the hands of the voters of the Second Congressional District. "When my duties here have been performed and Congress has adjourned, I will return to my home in South Carolina and endeavor to meet all of the people of my district face to face and give an account of my actings and doings as their representative in the Congress of the United States. I have been active and energetic in my efforts to serve the people of my district ?i.p?11ir, T trncf that mr onnrsp in laimiunj, <*?? j* ?j Congress will meet with the approval of my constituents, and that they will feel warranted in re-electing me to Congress, that the knowledge and experience of Congressional work that I have attained in the past few months may be used in furthering and safeguarding the interests of the people of the Second Congressional District and of the State of South Carolina. Very sincerely yours, J. O. Patterson. League Social. The Epworth League social meeting for June was held at Mr. H. C. Folk's residence Tuesday evening.

A mass meeting of citizens of the town was held in the town hall last Thursday afternoon to consider the question of putting in waterworks on Main street for fire protection. H. C. Folk was made chairman and J. F. Carter secretary. A general discussion of the plan outlined in this oauer last week was indulged in by a number of persons.

Hoover SUBTERRANEAN RIVERS. Yucatan's Only Streams Flow Beneath Coral Rock. There are 110 streams in Yucatan which flow above the ground, but the whole peninsula is one vast table of coral rock and beneath it are immense sheets of fresh water, with regular though ill defined tides and currents. Along the coasts these subterranean waters are quite near the surface, but in the interior, where the calcareous layer is of great thickness, the waters are low down. At intervals they break into caverns formed by earthquakes by pressure of their own force or by the infiltration of surface water into the . natural grottoes of the coral rock and wherever the water can be reached, whether through artificial pits or by the operations of nature, the place is called a cenote. There are a great many of them scattered all over Yucatan, and those near Merida are utilized as public bathhouses, affording most refreshing resorts. Centuries ago the Indians marked the courses of the subterranean rivers by heaps of stones and always built their cities close by the water caves, as their ruins show, and it is interesting to note to this day all the civilized centers of Yucatan have arisen around these natural reservoirs. There are many forms of cenotes. When the tfater flows at a slight depth and the calcf^eous layer has been only partially eaten away there follows an irregular sinking, which forms a cave, opening from side to side, but when the crust is thicker and the underground stream has a regular course the soil is generally corroded in a circular space and the vault thus formed, lacking support, falls in, making an immense open wall. Often the crust is so deep that the soft parts only crumble down, leaving a small aperture toward the top, fashioning a real grotto, with stalactites and stalagmites galore. Again, it happens thatl the crust is exceedingly thick, when a colossal subterranean passage, like a tunnel, is formed. In short, all the variations' which an undisturbed stream may produce in a friable soil by the silent work of ages may be here , p witnessed. The cenote of which I write is a natural cavern nearly fifty feet deep, broken down at one side, thus forming a gigantic arch. Within it appears every form of stalagmite and stalactite, and its roof is perforated with holes, in which are thousands of birds' and hornets' nests. At the bottom of It reached by a flight of stone steps from the charming garden above, is an extensive sheet of clear, fresh water, containing a multitude of tiny fish (Peecado cenote) similar to those found in the Mammoth cave of Kentucky, only these are not eyeless. The overhanging roots of trees fringe its broken arch, affording shelter to innumerable lizards and iguanas, which dart along the ledges like embodied sunbeams, while above them countless swallows circle in masses so dense that the whirring of their wings produces a deafening noise, echoed from below in hollow reverberations. The Italian Baby. No infant receives a warmer welcome to the world or Is more happily born than the Italian baby. No infant is the object of more caresses or is more fondly admired. Indeed, no matter how poor the mother and father may be, no matter how large the family, they have very merry times when another son or daughter comes to them. The neighbors are invited in, a feast is prepared, a gallon or two of cheap wine is procured, and the merriment sometimes lasts several days. The Italian considers there are only three great events in the life of man?namely, his birth, marriage and death. These three events never pass without a gorgeous and elaborate celebration. In this simple way they strive to carry out the tender life lesson: "When you were born you wept while those around you smiled. So live that when you die you alone may smile and those around you weep." And so they laugh and drink wine and sing, for they believe it will have an effect upon the life of the quivering form soon to take its place among them.?London Standard. Machinery of Memory. The machinery of memory was thus interestingly described by an authority on the brain: "The act of remembering something," be said, "involves a distinct change in the brain substance. The tiling to be remembered is recorded by a little nerve cell. The first time the cell does its work an impression is made upon it But that lmpres| slon is apt to wear off unless the ac tion of the cell is repeated, and the of" ** * *?- - * >. tenef mi8 lfl me caw um> uviv u&<m becomes the Impression, or 'cell memory/ as It la called. Suppose that the work of this particular cell Is to enable you to recogBfet a certain smell. If the Impression is made but once, the cell may fail to retain it, but if it is repeated several times a lasting impression will be made, and you will recognize the particular odor when you meet with It again." Southern Wit, In the early days of the civil war, says Mrs. D. G. Wright In "A Southern Girl In '61," many northern senators were especially violent in their denunciations of the seceding states, occasionally much to the amusement of their listeners. On one occasion a western senator ended a speech by declaring that were certain threatened events to occur he f would "leave this country and Join some other nation. Even the Co manches he would prefer to this gov[ ernment In such a case." Senator Wigfall of Texas rose In an\ swer and stated in a tone of grave re monstrance that he trusted the senator ? would consider well before he took t such a step, "for the Comanches had j already suffered too much from con* . tact sith tt* ^: 9 v ,c . -> - - ..... . ..^ ' . 1" * ' ' - ' ' xt'PfM . -r Jvi HH ? . %> -iMli !: :i :: -I--:i !: : :! ! :! :! -:l? :! il- ii:- :! ^1.- :!: -:n ;r>$ {Corset Comfort!: A The W.
