Murray in riore Trouble.
> Chicago, III., May 13.?Geo. W.
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.

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

Prof. Hogan was called home last
Friday on account of the critical s
illness of his father. We hope for f
him an early restoration. c
Commencement is now near at c
hand and teachers, matrons and stu- y
dents are working for the success of
the occasion. Dr. A. B. Cooke, of
Worford college, will deliver the
literary address, and Rev. Pierce
Kilgo, of Columbia, will preach the g
annual sermon. 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.

"Jeannette, I have something to say
to you?something important."
"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

lasbed ahead of him to take the ditch,
fou distanced him. He could not see

or the brush on the other side. Betides,

Jeannette turned away and covered
ler face with her hands.
"When Bitting came up, this Is what
le saw?your horse nibbling the grass,
ou lying as if dead on the grass. He
ook you in his arms, cried out In
igony and covered your face with
:isse8. Do you call that not being
ble to help it?"
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."
