Hie social event of the year took 1 place last Monday night in the recep- j tion given by the faculty and stu- J dents of the Carlisle Fitting School. ( The night was ideal, and at 9 o'clock, ( [ the hour set, the auditorium was ?.; ringing with the merry chat and 1 laughter of students and friends. 1 Hie auditorium bore a new, a dif- } ferent and splendid appearance. The i young people who had this in charge s spared no time nor effort, and they are to be congratulated on their 1 success in converting a plain school i auditorium into a beautiful reception j hall. i j The benches were all removed ex- j cent enough to girt the walls of the 1 hall and half a dozen double, setteestyle seats in the center. These were ? grouped around the elaborately j. draped columns, producing a very j v pleasing cross effect. The open f spaces were broken by rugs thrown x tee and there and by beautiful be- j gcnias, ferns and calla-lilies. v After the guests had all been re- .. ceived in the hall and had enjoyed the t social chat of an hour, they were fft <*n nrv nn thp msimm whprp refreshments were served by several n fl charming young waitresses. It was here perhaps that the ar- 11 rangement committee did their most ? effective decorating. The entire ros- , tram was hedged in by green and J vines, affording one high-arched en- J trance, lighted by a large Japanese 2 lantern. Overhead were suspended long ropes of green, decorated with s lanterns, and the white walls were broken here and there by graceful ? bunches of green. The tables were v covered with pure white linen and ? decorated with elaborate center- 11 pieces, beautiful flowers, fancy doilies and china. b One was stopped at the entrance a here and presented with a souvenir a of the occasion, it being pinned on by v two bright, smiling young ladies. It ? consisted of a plain white card as H a bade ground on which was tied by lJ dainty white ribbon a smaller dia- * mond shaped card brightly gilded ? and artistically inscribed in black * "C. F. S.," bringing out the school colors. Under the diamond was written the date "May 11, 1908." These catchy little souvenirs called C s, forth many compliments.

Langley the Scene of a Terrible Crime Last Friday. Aiken, May 9.?Lula May Leopard, the 8-year-old daughter of Mr. Dolliver Leopard, of Langley, was criminally assaulted yesterday afternoon by an unknown white man, and is in a critical condition. Her assailant escaped and up to a late hour last night he had not been caught. Excitement was at fever pitch last night at Langley and the woods aroupd the village were literally swarming with crowds of armed men. Had the object of their search been n Imnnkinfl. hovo fftllrtro.

At an early hour this morning scores of citizens and a number of officers were scouring the country, but no arrest has been made. About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, as the little girl was returning home from school, she was approach- . ed by the man who told her that he ; had lost four dollars and would give ! her half of it if she would assist him J in his search. The child agreed, but , later showed signs of fear and turn- ! ed back when the man seized her to j force her to accompany him. The girl attempted to call for help, but j her captor tightened his grasp and , choked the little one into insensibil- 1 ity. He dragged her almost lifeless body to the edge of a swamp and , there she was found some time after- | ward. She had been assaulted and j the man had escaped.

Rain, cold and the like have kept them on the go, and did not know one day ahead what they would do the next. No crops, comparatively speaking, are in any shape so far. Mr. Lewis W. Ritter came very near losing his dwelling, barn and out houses one day last week. They were all out in the fields at work when they heard the bell ring. Being an unusual hour for such a signal, Mr. Ritter ordered all hands home in haste. When they reached home found that the house had been on fire, and Mrs. Ritter, after giving the alarm, gathered her bucket and procured water and went on the roof and put the fire out before assistance arrived. Mrs. Ritter is to be commended upon her presence of mind. Most ladies would have been so excited when they saw the house on fire until they would not have done {anything towards saving the house. Messrs. Hiers Bros, have gotten some of their lumber placed togetner, and will soon raise their store building frame. Mr. Jayson Fender is boss carpenter on the job. ,0' Mr. Jerry Chassereau has' a hen that is a remarkable hen.

Undesirable Aliens Cause Great Work for Police and Courts. New York, May 5.?Alien lawbreakers were the subject of a portion of a charge to the King's county grand jury delivered by Judge Dike in the county court. He said: "The broad provisions of the Constitution of the United States in its generous invitation to the oppressed of other lands, never intended oppressors to enter this country or to have our population increased by the off-scourings of Europe and Asia, and yet today the elaborate machinery of the police department is employed in the detection, apprehension, prosecution and conviction of those offending against our laws, and two thirds of the number are undesirable persons from Russia and the Mediterranean States. "While laggard lawmakers are awakening to this frightful situation, it remains the duty of grand jurymen to keep the iron hand of firmness on these people who so little realize the benefits conferred upon them in this land, and do their duty by indictment." News from Kearse. Kearse, May 11.?Turn about is fair play. Two weeks ago the Ehrhardt nine took the game from the Kearse team so completely that they looked and felt like (I suppose) the calf the boy ran over. As repoiJted Saturday evening, the 9th, the Ehrhardt boys came up to try their hand with the Kearse boys. This time the tide turned, and when the game ended Kearse had 29 scores to Ehrhardt 9, and the boys feel jubilant. So much for hard work and a determination to win.. The Kearse team will try their hand against Ulmer on Saturday next. Turn out in force again, young ladies, for your cheers and smiles will go a long way to help the boys to success. The cold winds have played havoc with the tender crops. Cotton came up to from good to fair stands: sat down and looks now as if it will stay seated. On Friday evening last, much cast rJnum rtvpr thp nrnsneet. was walkin? over his fields, an old man thinking of other cold snaps in the Mays of the past, sometimes so discouraged he had felt like quitting. Just t' en he came across a nest of ants that had been turned up by the plow. Had they quit? No, all were busy as bees in their half frozen state to repair the damage. That made the ' old man stop, look, and think at these j little mites of creation so ready to , work against such odds. He almost ' felt ashamed of his folly. While he was still thinking of the little creatures that had even taught Solomon the wise king of old to use them in one of his proverbs, at this time he became hobbled by something. Look ing down he saw a live snake twined around his feet. In far less time J than it takes to write it he was cut- " ting up pranks that would do credit to a wild west show. That was a " 3cared snake, and you should have 3een it running for dear life, while a i certain old man was looking to see if : any one had seen the spectacle he had : just presented. That snake is still J alive, as the scare it had was punish- s ment enough. J The oats crop will be short; much ; land sown to them drowned out. It nits the farmer hard, following last J year's short crop of corn, but you ; can't starve a live farmer, he has 1 many resources.

Kearse reports eight acres of corn waist high on the average. Pretty good for May the 11th. Mr. and Mrs. G. E. Kearse paid us 5 i pleasant visit on last evening, also \ Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Kearse on Satur- J lay evening, he bringing his banjo, ! and we had some nice music. 1 Glad to report Mrs. L. S.

Exercises Most Interesting?Messrs. ? flichie and Ansel Deliver Good Speeches. In November last when Bamberg stood helpless viewing the destruction of her graded school building the hearts of all were sad. No other institution of our city ever held nor now holds such a big place in the life of her citizens. Here our children were accustomed to assemble, it was their play-ground, their training school, here in great measure they }??J 4? ~ were uemg muuuuccu IUUICUUUMUC world, their vision of life was being broadened, here they were being taught that some day they must stand among men equipped and ready to assume their part in the great business world. Our people cherished the institution for what it stood for? the young manhood and womanhood of their sons and daughters. It seemed that all was lost within those two fearful hours. Before the smoke had cleared away, even before the last timbers had fallen, the trustees began to plan, citizens began to offer assistance and while the fire yet burned, the trustees announced that school would be resumed on the following Monday. Court house officials offered their quarters, did not hesitate to discommode themselves that the work might go on. Principal Sheridan and his faculty of teachers moved into the court house and resumed the regular work of the school within ten days. Teachers and students have been for six months enduring the hardships, and yet they have been doing most efficient work. The spirit of our people was again seen when the question of a new building was presented. How shall necessary funds be obtained? was the question asked in a public meeting. Go down in our pockets and get it was the answer of a representative citizen. We can afford to be penurious in contributing to the building of a railroad to Ehrhardt, or the building of a cotton factory, or to providing water works for protection against fire or the building of a sewerage system, but we cannot afford to be stingy in providing a necesary building for the training and education of our children. Without a dissenting voice an additional tax levy was placed, and all Bamberg is proud of the beautiful temple now being erected on the hill across/the way. May the 7th, 1908, will long be remembered by our young people as Bamberg's gala; day, made so by the exercises attending the laying of the :orner stone of the new school building by the Masons, decorated in their nysterious jewels and wearing their funny little aprons, their solemn narch, their doleful "So mote it be" ?to the average youngster.entirely inintelligible and therefore amusing. Again, two hundred and fifty real i ive young Americans in line of i narch, headed by sedate and learned preceptors, passing to and fro ;hrough our streets was an unusual sight but withal a pretty sight. I say: Let the children have the right i )f way to-day?the to-morrow of ] luty and responsibility will find them 1 strong and ready if their education is 1 jroperly directed. i Few occasions have witnessed the 1 dosing of the business houses of Bamberg, yet this was done on this ] >ccasion?a thoughtful tribute to our n si ting guests and to the youth of >ur town.

It is said that he will render no official duties, but will be around the Capitol . most of the time, and will leave the last of the week for his long stay . abroad.
