k SHORTAGE CASE TO COME UP
HAMPTON COUNTY MATTER RESULTS
IN SUIT ON BOND.
Nec essary for the State to Take Some
Action to Recover Amount
< Alleged Lost.
The State of South Carolina will
sue the bonding company that went
on the bond of J. C. Langford, county
treasurer for Hampton county. It
will be recalled that on Mr. Langford's
shortage of over $24,000 the
^ bonding company tendered the State
$20,000, the amount of one of the
bonds, but the attorney general has
refused to accept this amount in settlement
of the claim. There > are
^ other bonds during previous administrations
and it is expected the full
amftiint oon ho ronnvoroH and hpnno
the suit is brought. The State has
employed Mr. W. H. Townsena, rorm,er
assistant attorney general, to conduct
the case, which will come up
very probably at the approaching
term of court for Hampton county.
In the 1908 report of the comptroller
general it was pointed out that
^ Mr. Langford was short in his acoounts
$17,670.70. The matter was
reported to the governor and the
* treasurer was removed and another
appointed in his stead. Later on Mr.
Wilson, an expert from the comptroller
general's office, went there and
made an examination and the shortage
appeared to be over $24,000.
This was confirmed later when an expert
from the bonding company also
moHo an oromlnntinT)
, The company does not wish to pay
1 more than the amount of one of the
bonds?$20,000. The State thinks
it can recover on the other bonds and
the suit will be brought at the term
of court for Hampton county for the
$4,000 over the $20,000 bond.
The Berkeley Case.
Assistant Attorney General De1
Bruhl will appear for the State in
Berkeley to push the suit against
County Treasurer Edwards of that
county to recover the $6,000 alleged
shortage in his accounts. This treasurer
was also removed by Governor
Ansel and another appointed in his
stead. The case was to have come up
at the last term of court but was
postponed. The suit will probably
4 come up next month.
Music Festival in Charleston.
Rejoicing in the promise of a commercial
rejuvenation which is to
make it the chief coal-distributing
point of the South Atlantic States
and one of the greatest ports of the
country, Charleston, coming at last
into its own, is inviting the people
of South Carolina, and of every part
of South Carolina, to visit "the city
by the sea," during the week of October
25-30 and help the people of
Charleston enjoy the jubilee festival
which is being arranged for that
time and which has back of it the
leading business and professional men
u of the city.
With three great coal-carrying
railways heading for Charleston, new
and adequate facilities for handling
cotton shipments being provided for,
* new steamship lines being added and
others promised, the new navy yard
in operation and doing fine work,
the future has never been so bright
for Charleston as at present, and
Charlestonians are convinced that
these matters are of deep interest to
the people of all South Carolina and
that they will directly affect the welfare
of the entire State.
It is desired, therefore, to bring
the people of Charleston and the people
of all other parts of South Carolina
into the closest possible touch
and sympathy, and it is for this reason
that the present festival is being
given, with leading business men
promising a financial support for it
which will make all the varied
amusement features adequate.
Interest will center in the five
greatest musical concerts, for which
a chorus of more than two hundred
voices is being trained, and in which
one of the finest orchestras of the
country will make its initial bow in
the South. Accompanying this great
organization, the Russian Symphony
- Orchestra, which during the last two
or three years has firmly established
its fame in the North and West, will

lected with special care for their flt
ness for the numbers embraced in the
musical programme arranged for the
concerts to be given here.
Charleston hopes to have the pleasure
of entertaining many thousands
of the people of South Carolina during
the festival week, and promises
to all of them a reception of the utmost
cordiality.
Lexington Grog All Gone.
Lexington, Oct 16?It is good-bye
to whiskey in Lexington. Dispenser
Caughman sold the last half pint of
liquor to-day, and there was "weeping,
wailing and gnashing of teeth"
when the announcement was made
that there was not a drop of liquor
to be had. About $125 worth of 15
cents beer and wine is all that is left
and this will likely be closed out earK
ly next week. It is not known how
much remains in the Peak dispensary,
but it is supposed that there are
only a few hundred dollars worth of
stock there.
There has been an appreciable decrease
in drunkenness on the streets
to-day, due no doubt to the fact that
mere was notniug 10 ue naa to cneer
and make merry. Merchants report
the largest business in their history,
and there has been a lot of money
"turned loose."
And Just as Good as Ever.
An old physician of the last generation
was noted for his brusque manner
and old fashioned methods. One
* time a lady called him in to treat her
baby, who was slightly ailing. The
doctor prscribed castor oil.
* "But, doctor," protested the young
?> mother, "castor oil is such an oldfashioned
remedy."
h "Madame," replied the doctor, "babies
are old fashioned things."?Philadelphia

MAY GO TO INDIA.
Aiken Lady Said to be Leprous Patient
May Leave Country.
Aiken, Oct. 13.?A committee of
three from the Aiken city council has
been appointed to confer with Miss
Mary V. Kirk, the alleged leper, or
her agents, in regard to the sale of
her property in the city of Aiken to
the city authorities. It is stated
that Miss Kirk desires to sell her
property here and move away.
Miss Kirk is now quarantined within
half a block from the business part
I r*f <-Vip ritv nn Main strppf thp nrpm
ises being under guard to prevent entrance
and exit of persons to the
house in which the aged lady is incarcerated.
It will be recalled that
some months ago, when the board of
health was preparing to remove her
to the hospital for contagious diseases,
on the edge of the city, an injunction
was secured to prevent its
doing so. Later the case was appealed
to the supreme court and the
board of health was restrained from
moving her to the present pest house
or city hospital. But the right of
the board to keep the premises quarantined
was reserved to them by the
court's decision, and accordingly the
quarantine has never been lilfted.
Now the lady expresses her desire
to leave the city, and it is stated
that she wants to go to India. Miss
Kirk is a lady of refinement and culture,
and was at one time possessor
of a considerable fortune, most of
which she spent in missionary work
in South America, where she is said
to have contracted the dreaded leprosy,
which the board of health of the
city of Aiken still maintains she is
suffering from. If a reasonable price
can be agreed upon, it is probable
that the city will purchase her property.
The committee will report
back to council before action is taken.
Pushing Work at Key West.
Key West, Fla., Oct. 15.?Aid for
the victims of the hurricane which
swept this city last Monday continued
to reach the city to-day and the
work of cleaning up the city has so
far progressed that there is no danger
of an epidemic of sickness.
A donation has been received from
the militia organizations at Jacksonville
and assurance is given that a
much larger sum will be made up by
the business men of that city for the
storm sufferers. It is expected also
that the national government will
render aid in reply to an appeal sent
by Mayor Fogarty.
Be Loyal to Home.
No matter where you live, where
your home is you ought to take a
special local home interest. Your
neighbors should be more to you than
utran?prs Yrm Rhonld he nroud of
your churches and your lodges and
your clubs, proud of home improvements
and home advantages; proud
of home industries.
Home to you should be the best
place on earth, and loyalty demands
your influence to help make it so.
Give your homev*the preference in
pleasure and in business. Some other
place may have more people, but
they are strangers to you. Some
other place may have more churches
and finer and larger school buildings,
but they don't help you or your neighbors.
Some other place may have
more business advantages and more
merchants, but they don't pay any of
your local taxes, they don't help to
bring to your community any permanent
local value, they don't make
you any richer, they don't sympathize
with you in sickness or in trouble.
The place that gives you a living
is entitled to your best efforts. No
person has a right to live in a town
and enjoy its benefits and pleasures
without identifying himself with its
interests.
Give your home the first chance,
your home workmen, your home merchants
and your home paper.
The only men of worth to a town
or community are those who forget
their own selfish ends long enough,
and are liberal enough in their ideas,
to encourage every public and private
enterprise, every home industry,
who are ready with brain and purse
to push every project calculated to
build up the town and enhance its
importance.
Greenwood Lad in Trouble.
Claud Ellenberg, charged with attempting
criminal assault \i|)on a
pretty little 10-year-old girl in the
eastern part of the city late Saturday
afternoon, is behind the prison bars
in the Greenwood county jail.
The boy, who is about 14 or 15
years old, is a son of Mr. M. D. Ellenberg.
He was arrested Monday night
in Greenville where he went after the
affair occurred. He was brought
back to Greenwood Tuesday at 12:07
o'clock on the Southern train by Mf.
Decatur Fortner, who had been sent
to that city by Sheriff McMillan for
the purpose of making the arrest.
It seems that the little girl came to
the house Saturday afternoon where
the Ellenberg boy was, to use the
telephone. It was at this time that
the alleged attempt at criminal assault
is said to have taken place.
The case will be tried, in all probability,
at the coming term of criminal
court which convenes here October
25th.
The affair is regretted on account
of the parents, friends, relatives, and
the youth of the boy.?Greenwood

mark: "The man who grows up in
his native town is regarded as a boy
by his elders until he is well started
down the declivity of life that ends
in a hole. The stranger who comes
into a place is more often pushed to
the front than the young man who
has grown up with the town. This
is the reason why so many young men
become dissatisfied with their home
surroundings and long to cast their
lot in other quarters."
There is no way of improving a
place so much as by encouraging
good merchants, good schools and
good people to settle among you,
and this cannot be done unless you
spend your money at home.

frlit jar burst.
Mrs. Oscar Smoak, of Branchville,
Suffered Severe Accident.
Branchville, Oct. 14.?An unusual
and painful accident happened to
Mrs Oscar W. Smoak yesterday morning
while she was engaged in canning
some fruit at her residence. It seems
that Mrs. Smoak had filled a number
of fruit jars with pears and as she
was putting the top on one of the
jars the jar burst and the force of
the gas in the jar was so great that
pieces of the broken glass jar struck
Mrs. Smoak on her left hand and cut
it so badly that it was necessary for
the physician to take several stitches
with his needle before he could stop
the wound from bleeding.
A Boy's Influence.
"I wonder why Sam Darrow is
so popular?" said a visitor at the
house of a friend of the Darrows.
"I know," piped a little voice,
"it's because Sam loves everbody."
"How do you know Sam loves
V> T Vi J WU/
"Cause he does. Now, there's
Jim Blake; his father drinks, and
sometimes Jim don't bring any lunch
to school. Then Sam divides his
lunch with Jim, always. And when
the boys made fun of Jim Short because
his elbows were out, Sam gave
'em a look that they won't forget
in a hurry."
"A look! What would boys care
for a look?"
"Well, sir, if you'd seen Sam's
look, you'd understand. It was just
as if he'd said: 'Now ain't you
'shamed of yourselves?making fun
of a poor little fellow who wears
the best he's got?' "
"Doesn't that look of Sam's make
the boys angry?"
"No, sir; it makes 'em asbamed,
and they like Sam all the better for
it."
"What else does Sam do?"
"Oh, I couldn't begin to tell you
all he does, but he's forever doin'
something for somebody. That day
Dick Mills got hurt, Sam carried
him all the way home in his arms,
an' Dick just loves Sam. When
Burt Brown broke his leg Sam went
to see him every day; and when Billy
Chester was sick you'd ought to
have seen the nice things Sam took
him."?Selected.
Overdoing It.
A young Englishman after he had
been in Devil's Valley for a couple
of months, began to grow thin. Wyoming
cooking did not appeal to him.
Besides his squeamish appetite, there
was another thing that the natives
held against him?his outlandis'custom
of taking a bath every morning.
One day his landlady was discussing
him with a friend.
"I tell ye what, Sal," said the visi
tor, "he's jest a-wastin' away a-grievin'
for some gal back east thar."
"Nothin' o' the kind," * said th
landlady contepmtuously. "You mark
my words, now?that young fellei
he's jest a-washin' hisself away."?

her bright golden hair, when heated

her, the bear did not bite her, she
lay back and murmured: "O, still
