Murray, the genial and well known Southern Railway conductor, / of Aiken, will regret to learn that ;?|- ,. owing to the condition of his health he has gone to the Johns Hopkins hospital in Baltimore for treatment. He was accompanied by Mrs. Murray. Very little cotton remains to be :{ " ginned in this county. Where farmers have beeih ginning as the staple was picked, the season is about over with them. Some farmers still have & few bales of cotton on hand to be i f \ ginned out. The crop is considerably shorter in this county than at first K thought.

First Season. * c Last week was one of activity and c pleasure on the Carlisle campus. Any 1 t holiday occasion brings pleasure to c a student, and especially at an insti- * I tution which has few of them, as at c P the Carlisle school. Some of the stu- 1 dents who live near enough went * home and every effort was made to * make the occasion a pleasant one for * those who remained here. * On Wednesday evening the annual * Thanksgiving reception was held. The f spacious reception hall or lobby of s Guild's hall was tastily decorated r 1 with handsome pot plants and chrys- t 1 anthemums for the occasion. During the evening a delicious ice course r 5 was served. The students and their c , friends who were present declared it 1 - to be a delightfully pleasant evening. t i It was a pleasure to have as guests r on that occasion the members of the . Beaufort high school football team. 1 At1 noon on Thanksgiving day came . the football game with the Beaufort J t high school. The game was very one- * L sided, the score being 144 to 0 in Car- t lisle's favor, but served as quite a t . pleasant pastime. Then came ye p I turkey dinner! c The Beaufort game closed the foot- D hall season and the management is much pleased with the showing the s team has made, considering the fact * that this is really Carlisle's first year 1S in football. Out of seven games * played the team suffered only one de- c feat; in fact, was scored upon in only b , one game. Porter defeated Car- ^ % lisle early in the season.

Both of these gentle men are charming speakers and maae two most helpful talks. LaFoy-Ayer Marriage. One of the prettiest of the many November weddings was that at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jno.'L. LaFoy on Wednesday, November 24th, at 3 o'clock when their daughter, Kate, became the bride of Mr. Frederick Charles Ayer, of Bamberg. S. C. This hospitable home was never more beautiful and inviting than on this occasion when it was tastefully dec orated with, great masses of ferns and chrysanthemums. Promptly at the appointed hour to the strains of Lohengren's wedding march played by Mrs. Tavener LaFoy, the two ' small brothers of the bridp led the bridal procession into the parlor and 1 took their place, one on either side . - " ?

Immediately F after the ceremony the couple left in a an automobile to take an evening g train for Augusta, Atlanta and points c in Florida, after which they will be jat home to their many friends at Bamberg. Mrs. Ayer is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. LaFoy and is a very charming and accomplished young c lady. She is a graduate of Winthrop S college and for the past year has 1 been one of the most successful teachers of the State, having taught ? in fho RamhArc nnblic schools, at N JAA kUV x which .place Mr. Ayer first met her. Her many friends here will regret to see her leave Anderson but feel sure she will receive a hearty welcome to her new home at Bamberg, where ^ she has many friends. Mr. Ayer is a grand nephew of the much loved General I^ewis M. Ayer, ' who is so well remembbred in Anderson. Both Mr. and Mrs. Ayer have many friends here and throughout the entire State who wish them hap- . >- piness in their married life.?Ander son Daily Mail. e ( Mrs. Ayer, as Miss LaFoy, was quite a favorite among a large ' circle of friends in Bamberg. She taught in the graded school last 0 session, and by her bright and lovable disDosition endeared herself to a e large number of acquaintances. Mr. Ayer is a young man who has as many r friends as acquaintances. Mr. and Mrs. Ayer have the best wishes of y_ their numerous friends in the city and county. They are residing with Capt. and Mrs. L. M. Ayer. Xmaa goods at Herald Book Store. | . . / For National Prohibition. Hon. John G. Woolley and Rev. George W.

The Carlisle school football team defeated Beaufort high school at I Rhoad's park Thursday morning, i score 144 to 0. It was evident from I the outset that the boys from Beau1 fort, were outclassed and the only point of interest was to see how high the score could be piled. At the end of the first half the score stood 8,9 to 0, and so during the second half , Coach Whitaker put in quite a number of his substitutes in order that they might get a taste of a real game. The entire Carlisle team showed up well. This game closed the season. Time of quarters, 12 minutes. Referee, Gue (Carolina.) Umpire, Cooner (Carolina.) Head linesman, Beh linger (Carolina.)

We have a good many lady members of the convention, so the ladies and their friends 'and baskets are expected to be with 1 us. If any should desire to bring a basket same will be very much appreciated and helpful.

At a meeting of a committee from the Civic league it was decided to observe next Thursday, Dec. 9th, as clean-up day in order that our town may be attractive and in good order for the holidays. So much has been written on this subject, it seems hard to know just what to say to arouse the civic pride of our citizens, but am sure nothing better can be found than the extracts below, taken from 1 an article in the Pictorial Review: "A town or city is as dirty or at- : tractive as its people make it. It cannot rise above the level of its citizens. When traveling, you realize that a dirty city is made up of dirty households, inefficient citizenry, it you do not keep your city clean, you confess to unclean individual homes. As a man liveth, so is his home town. If you believe in your home town and 1 have testified to this belief by investing in property or a business venture, increase your property values and ' your income by demanding a clean ' town. Remember, it takes concerted action, community pride of all class- { es, in all sections of a town, to bring about municipal cleanliness. "Clean your own home first, be-- j cause no woman can throw herself heart and soul into a municipal . house-cleaning campaign if her own . home needs her attention. And while cleaning look to your plumbing, your drainage, your well and cistern. Burn 3 your refuse in a hole dug for the ( purpose." (Do not put paper boxes, etc., out in the street, burn them at the back.) " j "First cousin to a refuse-strewn < alley is tnat weea-cnoKea lot Deiweeu you and your neighbor." (IJamberg { cannot be clean and attractive as } long as property holders are allowed j to keep their^vacant lots covered with < weeds, trash 'and undergrowth.) ] "Clean your street. Do you think that a neatly clipped lawn and well7 1 kept gravel walks will command re- j spect from those who pass your ] house, if they see the sweepings from < lawn and walks have been flung out ( into the gutter or street? Don't you , judge a neighborhood by the condi- 1 tion of the gutters and streets in 1 front of the houses? Don't you see s them first and the front yards and j trim porches next? Clean your markets. Make it very clear that a merchant who sweeps the trash from his store into the front street or back in-, to the alley is not a desirable citizen ! worthy of your trade. Boycot that tradesman who keeps vegetables,' ^ fruits,and other foodstuffs In a filthy, i unventilated, over-heated cellar. Take J your trade from a butcher who hangs 1 his meat where it is exposed to flies i J 1 AM/) UAT?/1PI O /111*- 1 3.QQ WIIUSB iiyruil auu liauuo aic u??- ty, or the grocer whose bins and bar- < rels are always open. Offer your trade 1 to clean dealers and put the fear of ( God and your sanitary l^ws in the ] hearts of those dealers Who are un- ' tidy. ^ "Clean your schools. Do you know i whether your schools are kept clean i and how they are/cleaned? Do you : know whether they are freed from dust, germs, or whether they are 3 sprinkled with a disinfectant? < "There is a great difference between i removing dust and laying it, between digging out germs and numbing them with disinfectants. Have you ever seen the lavatories and toilet rooms in your local school houses? Do you know whether the, plumbing is in good condition and the water supply clean and pure? Do you know whether your children use a common or an individual drinking (pup.or a fountain faucet? "Clean your churches. Do you know whether the sexton airs the church after service or closes it up, germs and all? Do fresh air and sunlight ever bathe your dear old church, as the word of God bathes your souls on Sunday? "Clean your movie theatres. Have you ever stopped to consider what the popular 'movie' theatre can do to hurt health conditions in your town? The unventilated theatre is probably the best little breeder of germs in your city or town. By all means clean up your 'movie' theatre. Insist that it be thoroughly aired after both afternoon and evening performances, that ventilators and proper* cleaning facilities be installed, or you will not patronize nor permit your chidren to patronize t{ie theatre. "pioan un vour dairies. Perhaps this looks like a big contrast in civic house-cleaning. But stop to organize the work?and you will find the individual burden light. Individually, you control the cleanliness of your own premises, and you correct municipal evils by force of example and sentiment. "The first step is to create a desire for general sanitation, cleanliness and beauty in your town. The second is 1 to work together all through clean-] up week and keep at it. Every wee* ought to be a clean-up week. Cleanup week represents the best investment of energy American homemakers can make. It stands for healthier families, happier homes, higher real ( estate values and better citizenship.*' ?Contributed. I f Xmas goods at Herald Book Store.' * > Richard Carroll to Speak. * Rev. Richard Carroll, of Columbia, will speak in Bamberg at the court house on Monday night next, at eight o'clock, to men only. Both white and colored people are cordially invited to- be present and hear him. The lecture will be free of admission. Carroll is the leading member of the negro race in this State,^ and, perhaps, the most prominent negro in the country since the death of Booker T. Washington. He is now being urged as the negro race leader. \ One-half of the court house will be reserved for the white people. Car- H roll's work for the elevation of the negroes has attracted nation-wide at- I tention, and every one wrho hears him J may be assured that they- will hear ^ p nothing offensive. The following are some comments on the lecture of Richard Carroll to men only: "Some years ago the Rev. Richard Carroll gave in my presence in the chapel of Benedict college, a lecture .j to young men that was the most discreet, judicious, appropriate, safe and helpful that I have ever heard Rertaining to sex and sexual relations. If he is now giving to men that same lecture he gave to them, it will not only be instructive but' eminently t helpful."?A. C. Osborne, Former f President of Benedict college. "He is one of the/ most sensible, | practical speakers I have ever heard." % ?Rev. J. P. Robinson, D. D., (white) Cincinnati, Ohio. "His lecture at our fair association was one of the greatest I have ever tieard."?Dr. C. T. Walker, Augusta, & 3a. * fl "We wish to say that no public ut- 1 terance delivered in Gaffney by any man, white or colored, has been fraught with more truth or common sense than that of Rev. Richard Car- ^ roll."?The Gaffney Ledger. "I have been in Austin twenty- J \ three years and I have never heard ' I anything like it before. It was the largest gathering of negro men I have v -J sver seen in this city."?Dr. L. L. Campbell, Austin, Texas. "If our men had heard this lecture . +} svhen they were boys, we would have v oetter homes, healthier wives and v stronger children."?Dr. W. H. Crawford, physician, Austin, Texas. ?adv. ' '* v' ' 1 Forgery of a Thumb Print. Calcutta, India, Oct. 25.?r(Corre- ^ 3Pondence of the Associated Press.) ?The forgery of a blind man's . thumb print has just been the s>ub- > ject of protracted litigation in the * high court at Madras, for the first time, it is said, in legal history. A ' f.:l merchant asked for judgment against - - - i ? ^?i > the blind man, supporting ms appu- . cation with a'document signed with the alleged thumb print of the debtor. The latter repudiated the paper, declaring that the plaintiff had ^ traveled in a train with him and * ! while pretending to massage his fin- * ^ * gers had taken his thumb impression and used it for fabtfjfc$ing the document. The court, after protracted hearings, fodnd the blind debtor's story correet and dismissed the merchant's application for judgment.
