Tminpniv rrnnmnv 19 1AA6 1IIUK3UAI, ITDKUAIU 10, 17WJ. We are rather of the opinion that the, legislature made a mistake in providing for an infirmary for Confederate veterans in Columbia. These old men we believe had rather be taken care of at home. ? . Our legislative delegation should oppose the proposition to raise the salaries of auditors and treasurers so far as it affects Bamberg. We are not now in condition to raise salaries, however much these officials may deserve better pay. They have not asked for it so far as we know, and besides, to make these salaries $1,080 a | year would be entirely out of proportion to the amount paid other officials. We understand that our county t; supervisor considered the paragraph 1- - A 1_> 4.^ m last wee*. s paper m reierexiue tu county expenses as being a reflectioiy on his administration. Nothing of the sort was in our mind, and the article itself does not warrant any such construction. In this connection we may say in all sincerity that our supervisor is a good man and a conscientious official, who is not to be blamed in any manner for the leaks alluded to in county expenses^ They g - are beyond his control, and can only be Regulated by legislative enactment. Serious Shooting Scrape. Rock Hill, Feb. 10.?A shooting P1 ^ scrape occurred last night about 10 rff- o'clock in a stable in west White street, in which Tally Forth was seriously and perhaps fatally wounded , by a boy named Torrence Melton.

The bullet entered Forth'^ abdomen, perforating the intestines in ? . two places, as disclosed by the operation performed today at the Rock v Hill hospital. The outcome can not fi; as yet be predicted. Melton was locked up by the police. Negro Lynched. Brookhaven, Miss., Feb. 10.?Eli Pigot, the negro who criminally asJr saulted Miss Williams, a young white woman near here several weeks ago, was taken from custody of the Jackson military company and a posse of deputies to-day and hanged from a telegraph pole within less than a 100 : yards of the court house. He was to have been tried today for the crime. ' Hie military company and the police ' were overpowered by a mob of more than 2,000 citizens.

The damage aggregates $10,000 with J half as much insurance. Cardin is ( buyer for Buckner & Dunkerson of 1 Louisville. Neither he nor his family was at home. Firing volleys of shots into the air, the nignt riders returned through Fredonia and released .../ their prisoners.

Note in a Bale of Cotton Sent Back to the Writer. !. Sometime last fall, Mr. G. F.

Carson, and he requests the manufacturer to write him should he find this address: G. F. Carson, Fort Motte, S. C., U. S. A." A short time ago Mr. Carson received the piece of paper on which he had writter his note back with the following endorsement on it: "This paper was found January 16, 1908, when the cotton bale was opened in the cotton spinning mill of the undernamed firm: G. Timmerman & Werner, Baumwell-?kinnerei und 'Weberei, Rheine, Westphalia, North Germany." This little incident gives us an idea of the importance of the cotton crop.

"What book do you wish to see, ; madam?" asked the polite clerk. v "Kin you find out if Jim Jones' was married?" j Search of the records disclosed the name of James Jones, for whose mar; riage a license had been issued two years before. "Married Elizabeth Mott, didn't he?" asked the woman. "The license was issued for a marriage with Miss Elizabeth Mott." "Well, young man, J'm Elizabeth.
