Murray, colored, who said he was 52 years old and had been a congressman representing South Carolina, asked a divorce of Judge McEwen today. He said his wife Ella had deserted him without cause. Murray showed considerable modesty while on the witness stand and told his story in a voice scarcely audible. His children, be said, were self supporting and his only objection to his wife was her acqaintance with other men. He will get his freedom. Just now Murray does a realty business with colored residents in Chicago. !$- \ * v. Home Mission Items. As a source of information to those who are interested in the workings of this society and also to those who underestimate the work being done, we should like to give a few figures. The report of the general secretary at the annual meeting of the woman's board of home missions shows 2,609 auxiliaries, and 53,833 members with over 13,000 subscribers to Our Homes, and nearly 7000 women pledged to tithing. The general treas urer reports $355,318.17 as a grand total of cash for connectional work, city missions, supplies and local work. Bevond this, 12,000 children are en' ?* ? i i J _ 3 listed in tne mite dox Drigaue, anu have raised over $9,000.00. Last year the "baby roll" raised $2,345.43. It might be a source of surprise to the natives of Bamberg to know what local work is being done right here under the direction of this society, in a quiet, humble way. During the months of March and April there has been reported 67 times nourishment provided for the sick, (those unable to secure this for themselves) 55 visits to sick and strangers, 10 garments in good order given to poor, 13 needy persons assisted, clothing worth $5.90 distributed besides $44.40 expended for local work* all this in two months, and yet this is not much when we think of the great field that lies open to us. This unseen work is of the most vital importance, and will bear a rich and glorious harvest in His kingrlnrrt VIV4iI? Old Acquainances. Among the visitors in New York, during the centennial celebration from the South, was a gentleman on the staff of the Governor of Virginia. He had written to a friend to engage a horse for him to ride during his stay in New York. A white horse, proud stepping and slender-limbed, was selected, and on the morning appointed was led in in company with a coal-black steed to the spot where the Virginia gentleman and a friend were ready to mount, when lo! the black horse pawed the ground, shook his head, showed great uneasiness, and altogether behaved so remarkably that he attracted great attention. "As sure as I live," said the rider of the white steed to his companion, j "You are mounted on Black Diamond j my own old horse!" "Nonsense!" said the other equestrian. "You wouldn't know Black : Diamond now, and he wouldn't know you." j By this time a little throng of spectators had gathered, interested in the scene. Black Diamond's saddle was taken off, and under it was discovered an old scar, and a little tuft of white hair, which proved his identity ; beyond a doubt. When his old mas- , ter mounted him, the horse fairly quivered with delight, and gave a 'cry of gladness. All through the centennial week there were two hap- < py beings together, a naan and horse, : and a horse sometimes shows intelli- J srence so nearly human that one can- < not but be glad when a great pleasure falls into the life of this faithful friend of man.?Our Dumb Animals. Fitting School Notes. _ The Orangeburg Collegiate Institute baseball team came over and crossed bats with our team on Monday. Quite a large crowd came out to witness the game and they were 1 not disappointed, for it was an in- I teresting game from start to finish. Only seven innings were played, the Orangeburg boys having to leave on the afternoon train. The final score was 4 to 3 in favor of the visitors. Up until the fifth inning it seemed a victory for C. F. S., Orangeburg not ^ having scored up to that time, but l by a series of errors and wild throws the game was lost. The ice-cream festival given Monday. night was quite a success. Aside from the serving of cream several excellent musical selections were rendered by the local orchestra?Dr. 0. D. Faust, violin; Miss EliseRentz, P piano: Mr. C. W. Rentz, cornet. P There was also a voting contest for the most popular young man and 2 young lady present. Miss Ida Muller s on/1 Mn PV?oc FalrJor \iroro fVio win- I ll ailU 1U1 VlUAO. A. VlUVi. IT Vl\.

Examinations be- gin this week and will furnish entertainment between now and the beginning of the commencement exercises. Prof. Guilds spent Friday at the session of the Orangeburg district conference at Rowesville. The noted vounir humorist and impersonator, W. Powell Hale, will give an entertainment at the chapel tonight, Wednesday. Mr. Hale comes well recommended and will doubtless give an excellent and enjoyable programme. Miss Leonie Ashe has been forced to withdraw from school on account of sickness. Miss Sudie Ritter, who has been out for some time, returned Monday. A man who does not love his work, official or otherwise, and who does not conscientiously put his whole heart and soul into that work, is unfit for that position or calling, regardless of the salary paid him. Honesty to one's self, and honesty to the public confidence demands true and earnest effort. Death of Mr. Bostick. The daily papers of yesterday contained news of the death of A. McIver Bostick, Esq., which occurred at his home at Beaufort Tuesday. Mr. Bostick was well known in Bamberg, having lived here for several years, moving from this place to Beaufort. He was an able lawyer and a fine citizen, and he had many friends in this town and county. He leaves a wife and three children. Country Correspondence Hampton school closed on last Fri. day. Mrs. S.

"Say on, uncle." "The red cottage has bee^ rented for a rectory. The new rector, young Bitting, will live there with an older sister." "Welir "Hands off!" The expression was perfectly intellible to Jeannette Howland. She knew that her uncle forbade her taking up the rector's attention and getting him into a state of mind wherein he must kA/wv?MA ?? a/iAAnf/wl onifni* af VltUCl UCVUU17 O.U ttLLCptCU ouibvi VI resign his charge. This she had done with the last incumbent, and her uncle, who ran the church and was obliged to find rectors for It, did not propose to continue hunting them up for her to render unavailable. "You needn't fear, uncle. I understand Mr. Billing is a celibate." "The better game for you." "Ridiculous!" "Very well. I warn you that if you play your pranks on him and get him in love with you you shall marry him. That's all." This was serious. Jeannette hadn't a cent In the world, w?s an orphan and heir expectant to r uncle's fortune. She had seen the poung clergyman and had already l ade up her mind to discover whether her powers of fascination or his resolve was the stronger. She left her uncle sorely troubled. She must either give up her Intention or a fortune or, In case of success, marry Mr. Bitting. She, knew her passion for what Is commonly called flirting and was not sure of herself. For a time she conducted herself with crreat elrcnmaoeotinn. bnt the devil, who could never be the devil he is unless he knew women well, proceeded to whisper in the ear of Kate Willard, whom Jeannette could not bear to see step in ahead of her,^ that Mr. Bitting would make a desirable conquest Miss Willard at once began to practice those little arts upon the rector which, though unintelligible to most people, were perfectly apparent to Miss Howland. That settled it Even a prospective fortune could not tempt her to forego the doubly exhilarating pleasure of defeating her rival and defeating her enemy. But Mr. Bitting proved a harder nut to crack than most of. Jeannette's conquests, or he at least appeared so. Jeannette did not work slippers or make bookmarks or vestments for him; she chose another course. She let him severely alone. She did this, at first deceiving herself that she was carrying out her uncle's wishes. Man, who as well as woman is a bit inconsistent, wishes to be let alone by women who will not let him alone. Mr. Bitting for awhile failed to notice that he was himself unnoticed, bat when he did he wondered, especially since Jeannette was the only girl in the parish who treated him with indifference. He asked Miss Howland If his coming to the church was in opposition to her wishes. "Not at all," die said. "Our li^es lie In different directions. You are devot ed to your church duties and to study; [ am fond of sports. I play tennis, golf and ride on horseback. What can we have In common?' Now, the minx knew perfectly well that Arthur Bitting while at college was an athlete, even'to contending on the gridiron. She was not surprised then when he offered to play with her it either of these innocent games she lad mentioned or to ride on horseback. Feannette expressed a preference for :he latter sport and received an Invitation to ride with the rector the next sorting before breakfast. It was a couple of months after this hat Miss Howland received an inviation of another kind?to join her incle in the library. She knew well mough what it meant, and If she had iny doubt it was dissipated the monent she saw her uncle's frown. ".Teannette," he said, "do you remember the warning I gave you when Mr. rttinjr came?" "Yes. uncle." "You have not heeded It" "I paid* no attention to him; he tough t me." "If you had treated him in the usual nanner, he might not have sought rou." "Then you would have blamed me 'or not keeping out of his way." 'It is useless for you to try to derive me. Jeannette, I was a witness resterday of what occurred when you ind he were out jumping your horses >ver logs and ditches." "How could I help it?" said Jeanlette, a blush spreading over her face. "I saw more than you suspect I was >ut myself and was near when you lasbed ahead of him to take the ditch, fou distanced him.

Jeannette stood mute, with her back till turned, her face buried in her lands. "Jeannette," continued her uncle, 'you must marry the rector. If not, ou know the alternative." She turned with a flaming face. 'Never mind the alternative. I acceptd him on the way home." IRENE MILLS. / . - , 1. "'% / p SIGNING YOUR NAME TO A CHECK MAKES YOU THINK.
