Sunday evening subject: The Plagues of Sin. The Home Mission Society Tuesday afternoon held an interesting meeting. The subject was, The Indian. An article from the Missionary Voice was read describing the Indian as he is to-day, what the government is doing for him, and the part our chyrch has taken in trying to help him. Several interesting stories were read and told, showing the Indian character refined and ennobled by the gospel. Rum, the curse of civilization, has been his undoing in many cases, and, like his white brother, he finds his only help and hope in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Mitchell, who is leaving the presidency of South Carolina university to accept that of the Medical College of Virginia, is likely to become president of the University of Virginia. A Richmond dispatch to the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot sav&: "It is generally believed here that Dr. Samuel C. Mitchell, who has just been elected president of the Medical College of Virginia, will shortly succeed Dr. Edwin A. Alderman as president of the University of Virginia. Dr. Alderman has been very ill for some time and is now absent from the university on indefinite leave. Some of his friends think he may never be able to resume the duties of his office. ' 4 1 J - - - 1 AP ^riroriniO " rne ivieaicax ^uncgc ui ?u&ima will in all probability soon become a part of the University of Virginia. It will then, of course, have no need for a separate trtesident, and, knowing this, it is not believed that Dr. Mitchell would resign the presidency of the University of South Carolina to be come the head of a school which may lose its individuality at an early date unless he has good reason to believe that he will be offered the presidency of the University of Virginia." Some people seem to live a long time just to spite other people. Temperance Lesson. Mr. A. B. Utsev, Superintendent of Trinity Sunday-school, is always seeking some new way of presenting truth ! to the school. Last Sunday being [temperance day, several young men of the Fitting School gave an attractive exercise. The first to ent^* was the farmer, Mr. M. M. Stabler, with an ear of corn in his pocket declaring that he I had no use for alcohol; he wanted I his corn to be put to better use, to j be a blessing, not a curse. | Next came the athlete, Mr. W. P. Foxworth, saying that athletes had discarded its use; they needed an alert brain and nerves and muscles ready to do their utmost. The railroad engineer, Mr. H. A. Mitchum, next appeared saying "I run on the temperance main line; Whiskey Town can't sidetrack my train. I obey my orders, run on time. An engineer can't trust a wild brain." Next in line was the civil engineer, Mr. 0. J. Hydrick; then the chaffeur, Mr W. J. Bowen; the merchant. Mr. G. I. Whetsell; surgeon, Mr. Raymond Smith; lawyer, Mr. L. B. Stabler; each one in his turn telling that in his profession alcohol was out of business. Following these wTas the stately governor, Mr. G. B. Hydrick, declaring that he had promised to serve the people of his state, they trusted him and he was going to give them the best that was in him, and not" the service of a brain muddled by strong drink. Then the teacher, Mr. C. R. Staley, appeared with the message that he was ever teaching and trying to promote temperance. The minister, Mr. A. R. Phillips, announced that he was preaching in the only safe way and he hoped that the day would speedily come when patriots vote as they pray. The young men, each dressed in appropriate costume, formed themselves into a pyramid and as the last one took his place in the pyramid little Miss Mary Ann Bronson entered bearing aloft a total abstinence banner. From the testimony of all the vocations represented the duty of all, she concluded, was plain: to practice total abstinence ana pray ana worn for prohibition. Descending from the rostrum the young men passed through the audience distributing the following time table: PASSENGER TIME TABLE. Dark Valley Railroad. Great International Route.

James Colbert, of South Attleboro, was killed by a burglar early today and an hour later Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Powers, neighbors, were shot and severely wounded. The same robber is believed to have figured in both affairs. Tonight a poorly dressed man, who was unable to give a satisfactory account of himself, was taken into custody as a suspicious person. Mrs. Colbert, according to the police, was awakened by a strange man in her room and screamed to her husband who was in another part of the house. Without a word of warning the intruder shot the woman in the breast and disappeared through a window. Mrs. Colbert was barely able to gasp out her story to her hushand before she died. Colbert noti fied the police who had just began an investigation when word came of the shooting at the Powers residence. Mr. and Mrs. Powers said they had been aroused by some one in their room and when they called out both were shot. They are ex pected to recover. The burglar obtained several hundred dollars worth of jewelry and silverware from the Powers home, but got nothing at the Colbert residence. DELIGHTFUL AFFAIR. Mr. and Mrs. W. I. Johns Entertain in Honor of Their Young Guests. Mr. and Mrs. W. I. Johns entertained most delightfully on Thursday in honor of their guests, Misses Brown, of Florida, Bramlett, of Greenville, and Wilson, ofUlmers The occasion was an afternoon dance given at the Baldoc pavillion, after which the party repaired to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Johns where a most enjoyable evening was spent. At a late hour a sumptous supper was served. Those present to meet these most charming young ladies were: Misses Brownlee, Louise Wilson, Delphine Googe, Alma and Olivia Strange, Effie Cave, Gladys All, Inez and Tecumsey Flowers, Sallie Harley, Mesdanies W. W. Speights and F. H. Boyd.

However, Miss Elma Chitty gave her a close run and landed in second piace at mis count, ana was awarded the second special prize of a $4.00 pair of shoes, given by Rentz & Felder. Several other contestants were running close to the leaders, notably among them being Miss Fanny Free, who still holds second place in the grand line-up for the handsome piano which is to be given away at the close of the contest some time in June. Interest is beginning to pick, up in several sections of the county as evidenced by the handsome vote which is recorded for Miss Kittie Dannelly, Nell Clayton, Mattie Nimmons and Cleo Kearse. Misses Dannelly and Kearse are new contestants who entered the race after the first count which was held last month. The third count will be held on May 26th, at which time a special prize of ten dollars in gold will be given the contestant making the greatest gain in votes between the second and third counts. The young women who are engaged in this contest have any one of them an excellent opportunity to win the grand prize at the end of this contest if she will just put her mind to the work and get busy.

At a meeting of the board of control of the Carlisle Fitting School a building committee consisting of Headmaster J. C. Guilds, Messrs. H. C. Folk and W. D. Rhoad was appointed to have charge of the work i of erecting the new dormitory. They have employed Mr. Goodrich, of Augusta, as architect, and he is already at work on the plans. Some of the material has already been contracted for, and it is hoped to erect the building during the summer and have it ready for the opening of school this fall. All of the money needed has not yet been subscribed, but we feel sure it will be, as the business men of Bamberg cannot afford to let the school suffer for lack o-f equipment. The people behind this movement mean business, and the dormitory is ^ going to be jpuilt. Memorial Day Exercises. Memorial day will be observed by i the Francis Marion Bamberg chapter, U. D.
