State News Boiled Down For Quick Reading?Paragraphs About Men and Happenings. The Lexington county dispensary board has been selling beer in Columbia, but it will now be stopped, as Attorney General Lyon says such * sales are illegal. An election on the dispensary question will not be held in Aiken county, as the petitions asking for the election did not contain the required numoeroi signatures. An election on the dispensary question cannot be held in Colleton county > 1 this year, as the petitions were filed with the county supervisor on the first day of May, which was one day too late. James Drenna, a young white man, telephone lineman, was drowned in the canal at Columbia last Saturday. He attempted to swim out to some - ' ;? boats anchored in the middle of the ' \ stream and was caught in the current and his body carried under the locks. A half witted negro woman named t>. Kate Betsill, died in Union county I recently, and soon afterwards rumors got abroad that she had been killed 4 by a negro man. The body was taken up and an inquest held, the jury > saying that a negro named Charlie J Briggs caused her death. ' , Judge Wm. H. Brawley, in the . United States Court at Charleston last week. decided, that contracts Ifer farm labor were unconstitutional. This strikes a heavy blow at the farming interests of the State,, and will upset conditions materially. No firmer will want to start a crop to have his labor go somewhere else for a little more mopey in the middle of * the summer. It is likely that the || case will be appealed. W. H. Ruff, Jr., of Ridge way, ': formerly teller in a bank in that town, was arrested in Columbia last week. Young Ruff was short in his ||v accounts, and his father agreed to pay the shortage and stop prosecu. lion. Qias. E. Lamb, who was running a "bucket shop" at Ridgel way at the time of young Ruff's de} falcation, claims to have lost $4,300 ?4 and says he has never been paid. He i therefore had Ruff arrested. Magistrate W. T. Wiggin, of BeauKr*.' fort, was acquitted last week on the charge of killing a negro in that town a few months ago. Mr. Wiggin was W: v on duty as special policeman, and the negro approached him at night and | cursed him, paying no attention to | ^the warnings to keep off, when WigSp gm shot him. The negro was drunk Elf: and in an ugly mood earlier in the Ife-'J". . night, and he apparently wanted to % show that he could go through the | fire lines. i Arthur Davis, a negro, shot and 1 killed Clarence Gist, a white man, at I Carlisle, Union county, last Thursday ni^ht. Davis was rowdy at a negro baseball game during the af. ternoon and was arrested by Gist : ^ and put in the guard house. Later , be was' released on bond, and that < night he waylaid Gist near the deS' pot and killed him instantly. Davis i , attempted to escape but was captured several miles away early next rhorning. Three other negroes were also arrested as accessories to the ; i ; murder. All have been put in Sv i"'.' -tail of TIninn f Two Remarkable Newspapers. It is stated that there was a newsfiPjp paper published in Madrid called the Luminaria, whose ink contained a "!;X small percentage of phosphorus, so vv that the letters were visible in the y dark. No doubt that sheet cast much V light on many questions of the day. There usecUto be another paper at ? one time named the Regal, printed with an ink guaranteed non-poisonous on the sheets of dough. After J* reading all the articles in the journal T the reader could literally devour it. There was a sheet that was food for thought sure enough. There was /nourishment for mind and body. Once they got out a special edition, J and had jam filling between the sheets. The jam could be licked off try the subscribers, the news beneath read and then the whole eaten. : Whenever the employees of the pa. per were on their uppers, they would :c- just eat the leftover copies of the ? ^ paper.

Lovett who is under arrest under the double charge of seduction and bigamy. The case has been brought against him by the Georgia authori ties and they are expected to arrive here to-day (Wednesday) with the necessary papers to carry him back to Greensboro, Ga. Lovett's story is about as follows: While in Greensboro he was boss of the spinning room in a cotton mill there, and while so employed he married a daughter of a'Mr. Dillard, who told him she was 18 vears old. and she told the minister who married them the same thing. But wh?n he had left Greensboro and was en route to South Carolina, he was arrested at Augusta, but later released, and then arrested at Aiken. He said that he was willing to go as he felt sure that he would be cleared oij all charges, and as it turned out later the case was thrown out. After the case had j been thrown out, he was advised by his counsel that in the eyes of the law he was not a married man. When he had arrived at Orangeburg and had accepted the place of boss of the spinning room, he was advised by the president to get married and he did so, with the belief that he was not a married man. Then he came to Bamberg where he held a similar position in the mill about ten days, that is up to the time he was arrested. According to all of the mill authorities, Lovettmade a good workman, and seemed to conduct himself in a quiet orderly way. What will be the outcome of the case is a mere matter of conjecture, and Lovett does not seem to be worying about the consermpnPAs. Hp is a vonnv man of verv good appearance, medium height and seems to possess only a fair education. Onr New York Letter. It is said of Pope Pius that when the conclave to elect went to Rome he was the only one who bought a return ticket; all the others, expecting to be made Pope, paid a single fare so as to remain. Pope Pius was the only one elected. It is so in churchr, politics, business?the mantle is apt to fall on the one least expecting it, the one making the least effort, the one altogether indifferent. This thought Is suggested by the study of those on the top rungs of the ladder in a great city. In early life, even now, the question often occurs to the mind, liow did he get there over others? It is rather an old saying "labo* has sure reward," but if big success is meant the truth is verified. Investigation shows that the great wealth 01 New York city i? in the hands of persons intellectually, moraly, physically, not the equals of others holding less and often next to nothing. Few among the wealthiest worked for what they have. This is not penned to discourage workers but merely chronicling a singular state of affairs. It begins to look as if riches are a punishment, a burden instead of the fruits of labor. Rockefeller admits his are such to him, and Andrew Carnegie, the canny Scotchman, got his without much labor on his part and at his death the millions go to a now eightyear-old child who has never and probably never will do a stroke of work. The Goulds, Vanderbilts all inheritechtheirs from workers of the true type, men who lost their health seeking money, then should have lost their money seeking health. Instead they died in the harness and others reared in luxury and idleness stepped in and possessed it. In many cases, notably that of Helen Gould, the best of use is made of these inherited fortunes, but in too many, as the Thaw illustration, useless spendthrifts get it to not only do others no good but frequently harm. A study of human nature, events, in a city like New York is as interesting as any a person can engage in. Conclusions, right ones, though, are hard to arrive at. Just why so few people have so much, so many so little, is a problem, but if peace of mind, health and happiness are to be valued it really looks as if the possession of great wealth is really a punishment and the lack of it a reward. Delmonico, the cook who rbse" to be the millionaire restauraunter, paid $800 a pair for his pants, $60 a piece for neck wear, yet he looks no better and doubtless felt worse than - the man wearing $3 breeches and half dollar ties. Yet all such riches. Why? For 5 cents one can- ride as far and more comfortably than the multimillionaire in his $20,000 auto. The latter is lonely, the former surrounded on every side by agreeable, entertaining company. A wise head, if i+eol-f wnnlH nrp-for anv dav I 1^1 V l?V I V*JV/*A y if VUiU VAVAi the comforts of the medium class to those of the wealthiest. Why then the struggle? In some future article the writer hopes to portray the life of a multimillionaire, the moderate liver, the poor man, to enable readers of this J paper to determine which is preferable. H. W.

Ehrhardt, May 27.?Mrs. Willie B. Moore and daughter. Grace, have gone to Cottageville, S. C., and will spend several days with relatives. Messrs. J. W. Padgett and Willie Moore will go to Anderson to-day to attend the Grand Lodge, K. of. P. They expect to have a fine tim6 as neither of them have been farther than Columbia. They will enjoy the hills and rocks, especially walking up and down them. Mr. H. Kinard has gone on a business trip to Charleston. Oats cutting is in order now and most of the farmers are making use of every fair day, as horse food is scarce and they need the oats for their stock. A party enjoyed a fish fry at HowelPs old mill one day last week. They had plenty of nice fish and the way the fish disappeared after being fried, showed that the crowd was in good shape for the occasion. The recent rains and warm*days have made an improvement on the little corn and cotton and grass too. After the rain on Sunday the temperature dropped, not to zero how- j ever, but a coat felt comfortable. Miss Edrie Ehrhart reached home on last Thursday. She was glad to get home and take a rest from her books and duties of Mound Amaena Female semiary, of Mt. Pleasant, N. (J. C. Ehrhardt&Sons are gettirlg out some large pieces of timber for the Central Phosphate company, of Beaufort. The pieces are 18x24in x 22 ft. Young chickens are in good demand here. It seems as if the old hens have found out that there are 4 incubators in town and thus depriving them of the pleasure of sitting, so they have put some bad mouth on the hatches. Some as bad as three out of one hundred and twenty eggs. A young couple in this section needs an almanac. His brother and wife went to spend Sunday with them recently, and found the host in the woods cutting cross ties, and the hostess in the cotton patch hoeing cotton. From the amount of work | done they must have gotten an early start. When their attention was called to the day they were ashamed and said that they did not know it was Sunday. Jee. Colston Dots. Colston, May 27.?The heavy rains still continue to fall in this section, the crops are very small and odr farmers are looking gloomy over the prospects. Messrs. B. F. Beard and Hasting Barns, of Jenny, visited at the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Beard last Sunday., Rev. S. P. Chisolm spent Friday and Saturday at Bamberg.

Kinard went to Charleston last Sunday and will return Tuesday. C. Ehrhardt & Sons' new gin system is being rapidly put in place. From the outlook now the old one could have ginned the crop on half time. Messrs. Mays and Mould, who have been here for the last two weeks making pictures, leave today for Walterboro. Miss Lucia Copeland spent last Thursday night with Miss Minnie Owens. Mr. J. M. Dannelly returned from Bayard, Fla., last Wednesday. Rev. S. P. Chisolm, of Colston, was in town last Friday. Clarence Moore. Ehrdhardt Graded School. ? % . ;. Olar News. Editor Herald:?It has been said that frogs croak, and farmers growl, both are busy. Crops small, poor stands, too wet for fishing and so it goes. Two weeks ago we had a flood that sent crops to nowhere. Each farmer trying to tell the biggest tale, and some huge ones were told; all were in the dumps over the situation except one little darkey boy. As soon as possible, all went to work and this little black in mud trying to hoe some stunned, half dead cotton-, and grassy as you please, was singing to the top of his voice: "I loves my darling," yes I do, I loves my darling, bet I do, I loves my darling, Oh I do.

The little fellow jumped about two feet high, turned around, saw me, and showing his white teeth said in a surprised tone, "Sir." After a pleasant word with him I passed on, and thought that boy was a true philosopher, and tried to view the situation in a more cheerful way. Mr. Verdier quietly passed away on Saturday, and was laid to rest in the family burying ground on Sunday morning. Peace to his ashes. Some of the young1 folks expect to attend the Barnwelr ball tonight, so I have been informed. Guess they Will have a delightful time. Hope the picnic on Friday next at theOlar High scool will be a success. With best wishes to the editor and his paper. Far Back. Olar, S. C., May 27. Country Correspondence. . More rain, more grass, is the farmers cry. Heavy rains fell here - i ri 1 mL - ?

This is the season for blue ribbons organdie dresses, essays, "sheep skins," and medals, and we think we might add, reunions. How many girls and boys looks forward to going home? They have fomed many acquaintances and a number of friends, who will ever be true and tender to their memory, they have fought the battle and won the victory, by receiving a piece of white paper tied with long ribbons, and for some extra duty they have won a piece of gold or silver, etc., both delivered in beautiful and appropriate words.

We hope the teachers and pupils a pleasant and profitable vacation. Miss Gertrude Oxner, who has been teaching at Clear Pond, return-^ ed to her home in Leesville Monday' morning. Two contests were held at the closing exercises of her school Friday evening. The subjects were whiskey and cigarettes.

Two medals were awarded, one to Miss Llyn Walker and the other to little Frankie Ayer. Rev. T. L. Belvin, Messrs. Willie Hiers and David Smoak being the judges. The Lees Graded school will give its closing exercises Wednesday and Thurday, May 29th and 30th. . Arrayed in Homespun. Asheville, N.C., May 20.-In order * . * a A to encourage and revive tne almost lost art of hand weaving among the mountain women of the Blue Ridge mountains, Mrs. George W. Vanderbilt has taken to wearing homespun. Mrs. Vanderbilt appeared in Asheville a few days ago in a yellow homespun gown. It started a fad for homespun among the women of the town and has resulted in just what Mrs. Vanderbilt has wished it to result ingood business for the women of the mountains. Mrs. Vanderbilt's gown cost her $25. Yesterday she placed it on exhibition at Biltmore among the Biltmore estate exhibits to go to the Jamestown exposition.

This week marked the close of fifteen years of work for the Carlisle Fitting school in this city. This institution, founded by the generosity of the people of Bamberg of all denominations, has always had a warm place in their hearts. The school has always been conducted on conservative lines. It does not claim to be a college, and has not put forth extravagant claims, but is willing to be judged by the young men and young women who go forth with its dinliwioi" Tlio forttil+w Viae alnrovo Koon piumao* xavui i/j nuu u& T?

The annual celebration of the Kilgo and Sheridan literary societies was held. Prof. W. D. Roberts, first assistant and instructor in English and history, was the presiding officer. The following students acted as marshals: Eugene H. Ackerman, William H. Fender, Chas. A. Smith, Isaac S. Anderson, "Meredith R. Wolling. The exercises were held in the school chapel, and there was a large crowd present, notwithstanding the heavy rain. The program was as follows: Music, "Defile March," Miss Annie Laurie Rice. Prayer, Rev. Pierce F. Kilgo. Music, "Water Sprite," Miss Flossie Murdaugh. Declamation, "Americanism," Jno. W. Bell. Reading, "Briar Rose," Miss Mildred Kearse. Music, "Overture de fra diavolo," Misses Carter, Dukes, Herren and Muller. Declamation "Oration on Humboldt," Ernest L. Hiers. . Reading, "The Coming out of Miss Commings," Miss Janie Belle Sanders. Music, "Dorothy," Miss Lousie Risher. Music, "Song Without Words," Miss Louise Folk. _ Declamation, "The New South," Kichtfrd B. Spell. Reading, "A Set of Turquoise," Miss Pritchard Shuler. Music, "Fantasies from Tdnnhauser," Misses Rentz and Murdaugh. Debate: Resolved, "That it would be to the best interest of the South to organize an aggressive Republican party within her borders." Affirmative, Rhett H. Ott, Clyde E. Yongue. Negative, Richard G. Addison Joseph Murray. Music, "Charge of the Uhlans," Master Pinckney Bellinger. Music, "Tripping Over the Lawn" Misses Lehlin McCown, Lizzie Smith, Carrie Smoak. Music, "Troisieme Ballad," Miss Elise Rentz. The music was all of a high order and was well rendered, reflecting much credit on the musical department of the school. The declamations, readings, and the speeches in the debate were well prepared and delivered well, all showing thorough training of the students. The declaimer's medal was won by Miss Mildred Kearse, and was presented to her by Rev. Peter Stokes. Thexjudges in this contest were: Rev. Peter Stokes, Dr, J. B. Black, and Dr. V. W. Brabham. The debater's contest was decided by J. F. Carter, Esq., Jno. R. Bellinger, Esq., and M. William Brabham. The medal was won by Joseph Murray, and- was presented to him by J. F. Carter; Esq. Thic^lnopH the evening's exercises. after which an .informal reception was held. SUNDAY MORNING. The annual sermon was preached in the Methodist church by Rev. Pierce F. Kilgo, pastor of Washington street Methodist church, Columbia. The Baptist church was closed on account of this service, and that congregation worshiped at the Methodist church both morning and evening. A large crowd was present, both the main auditorium and the Sunday schopl room being crowded. The speaker took the life of Joseph as the basis of his remarks, and emphasized the importance of faith in God as a foundation for character building. False pride and mock humility were to be availed, but the world never respected a young man who had no self-respect. The lesson of humanity must be learned. The experiences of Joseph were but a training school to fit him for the high position he was later to occupy, and.no man was truly great who could not sympathize with and appreciate the sorrows and trials of others. Special music was render ed by a large choir. At night the sermon before the Y. M. C. A. of the school was preached by Rev. Jas. W. Kilgo, presiding elder of the Oranflreburer district. Monday morning at the chapel of the school Dr. Arthur B. Cook, of Wofford college, delivered the an nual literary address before the two societies. His theme was a well known one, that of the Holy Grail, but it was treated with the hand of > - - .' % -J M a master who clothed his thoughts in rarest words of truth and idealism. Ideals and things idealistic were the speaker's thoughts. He made an eloquent and earnest plea for the v young men and women to hold their visions fast and not allow this age of . ' 08a things materialistic drag them down into the quagmire of selfishness and pleasure. The speaker is a man with wide experience and a mine of deep . thoughts. While no age has ever been more directly opposed to the ideals which Dr. Cook pleaded for, still as he said there has never been a time which needed that very sort "fm of man more than today. Wofford college has sent a number of speakers here, but never has a more elo- ? quent or interesting speaker come $1| from there or elsewhere than Dr. ' Cook. Monday evening the final exer- , cises of the commencement were held, the program consisting of numberg, by the graduating class.

Miss ',;$?

Simms Fender, John "im\ Huffman, Eugene Stokes. Music was rendered at intervals and some very high class selections >31 were heard. Especially should the playing of Miss Elise Rentz be men- ? tioned. Miss Rentz is a musician of no mean order, and she gives great promise in that direction. Her rendition of the Hungarian Rhapsody ^' 19 was especially good. After the exercises were closed Rev J. W. Kilgo made a short announcement ~ in behalf of the Board of Control. He announced the re- -|5 election of all the teachers, but ^ '3 stated that the board had been oblig- , fi ed to accept the resignation of Prof. W. D. Roberts, who has seryed the school so well for two years as professor of English and history. This announcement will cause much regret in Bamberg and the surround- ^ ing country, for during Mr. Roberts' stay here he has- made many friends and admirers. He has been a great addition to the town in many ways. He has not fully decided where he will go, but he will have* the good wishes of his Bamberg friends whereever he may cast his lot, Mr. Kilgo also announced that the school had experienced a successful year, and that it had been decided to. recommend that another year be added to the course. With this ad- / dition the Carlisle Fitting school will be able to extend its already high j| grade of scholarship. _ Im Iartnord vr ' v Vafcafi 1 YTICV 111 UVU|/lu An old negro was recently brought ' c| before a justice in Mobile.
