In Pes Moines, Iowa, they tell of an elderly Irishman, long .desirious of official dignity, who was finally appointed marshal in a parade in that city. Veterans, bandsmen and school chil iren lined the streets of the town, patiently waiting the signal to start. Suddenly the marshal, on a prancing hor<e, dashed up the street. After inspecting the procession, he gave his horse a touch with the whip, stood up in his stirrups, and shouted: ''Ready, now! Every wan of ye fcape ster wid the horse! March!" Capt. IV.A. Riley Dies in Orangeburg Captain William A. Riley, for many years a citizen of this county and resident of Bamberg, died at his home in Orangeburg early Tuesday morning. The death of Captain Riley came as a great shock to his relatives and friends. While he had not been feeling entirely well for a few days, he was not too unwell to be about as usual. In fact, he was in Bamberg one day last week greeting his many friends in town and looking after his business interests here. Death came very suddenly and without previous warning. The funeral will be held in Orangeburg at 11:30 a. m., Thursday, and the remains will be laid to rest in Surihyside cemetery in that city. The services will be conducted by Rev. A. C. Walker and Rev. Thos. G. Herbert, the latter the pastor of St. Paul's Methodist church, of which Captain Riley was a member. Captain Riley was in the 74 th year of his age.- He was born a short distance across the Salkehatchie river, in what is now Allendale county. Many years ago he moved to Bamberg and resided here until?eix years ago, when he and his family moved to Orangeburg, * The deceased was a Confederate veteran vand a member of Camp Thomas J. Glover, U. C. V., of Orangeburg. Captain Riley had been connected with a number of Bamberg's business houses during his long residence here. For eighteen years he served the Bamberg Banking company as cashier. He was an expert bookkeeper and quite an authority on legal papers. > He had never held public office, but had once been a candidate for county treasurer against Col. John F. Folk, who wa9 the incumbent at that time, and failing of election. Capt. Riley was one of Bamberg's finest citizens in years past, and had friends by the score throughout this entire section. He was distinctily a gentleman of the old school, one who was held in the highest esteem by every body. While he moved from Bamberg some six years ago, he always loved to come back and meet and talk with hi9 friends, who were always delighted to see him. His wife, who survives him, was before her marriage Miss Rosa Barker, of Sycamore, daughter of the late Major Ransom Barker. He is survived by the following children: Francis M. Riley, of New "iork; J. Wilson Riley, of New York; H. Jack Riley, of Bennettsville; Mrs. Eva Eaves, of Orangeburg, Mrs. William S. Desportes, of Ridge way; Misses Nina. Lynn, and Clara Riley, of Orangeburg. *One brother, W. T. Riley, of Allendale, also survives him. Captain Riley was a devoted member of the Methodist church, and in every way a high-toned Christian gentleman. Few men will be more sadly missed ,bt his wide circle of acquaintances than Captain Riley. * ^ itFriday Afternoon Book Club. Mrs. G. Frank Bamberg was nostess to the Friday .Afternoon Book club on the afternoon of the 23rd instant. This was the first fall meeting, and was characterized by an unusual amount of "pep." Many new plans were discussed, and the members all seemed to have taken on new life, after the lapse of the lazy summer days. The curb market was discussed, and all were enthusiastic over the idea, which the club hopes to make a reality, in the near future. The different phases of library work was a topic for much discussion. It was decided to form a "library association" giving even member full access to the library for the fee of one dollar annually. It might be of interest to note that the club has recently received several donations of both books and cash, which were very much appreciated. The committee, which has under nftTioidoratinn thft course of study for WUtjAUV wrv.v?. the coming winter stated that they had not reached a definite conclusion, but as soon as they do so the new "Year Book" will be printed. The programme for the afternoon was brief though very interesting. It was as follows: The aim of our library by Mrs. McCrackin. Statistics of library work by Mrs. Clarence Black.

A troublesome young woman had been trying for some time, rather indefinitely, to make known her wants to a salesman in a music-shop. Finally, the clerk was obliged to say: "Pardon me, miss, but if you can- ( not tell me either the name of the music you want or the composer, I don't see how I can be of any help to , you." The young woman smiled sweetly. "But," she continued, "if you will be so ki^l as to sing over a few of the new songs to me, I think the problem wopld be solved. I should recognize the air at once, I am sure." Expired. The defentdant who was held in an Ohio court on the charge of keeping a dog without a license, repeatedly tried to interrupt the evidence, but was hushed each time by the court. Finally the clerk turned to him and said: "Do you wish the court to understand that you refuse to renew your dog license?" "Yes, but?" "We want no 'buts.' You must renew your license or be fined. You know it -expired on January 1." "Yes," said the defendant, "and so did the dog." Mrs. Chas. F. Black announces that her art class will open Oct.

' CHARGE DEAD MAN WITH TWO MURDERS. Greenville S. C., Sept. 25.?"We find that Alexander Sudduth and Thomas D. Scruggs came to their death at the hands of William A. Howard, deceased," was the verdict returned by the coroner's jury investigating the Glassy Mountain triple .tragedy today, and Early Harrison, held in connection with the shooting, was released immediately after the inquest a!nd returned to his home near Glassy Mountain. Dallas Scruggs, ten-year-old son of Thomas Scruggs, and who has been in the hospital recovering from an ugly wound in his shoulder received luring the shooting, was the principal witness placed on the stand today, and the only one, with the exception of L. L. Howard who was one of the first persons to arrive at the scene of the shooting.. Taking his seat near Coroner Arthur Vaughn, facing the group of strangers, the boy shyly told an incoherent story of the affair as he remembered it, his voice breaking and his muscles twitching a little at the mention of his father's death. Dressed in new clothing from head to foot which had been bought by. Coroner Vaughn, during the morning, young Scruggs sat quietly in the straight chair and with one suspendsr pulled over the sh', aider which had not been pierced by the bullet, answered questions directed to him. His story was at best uncertain and differed in several material points from the account given in his affidavit. Uncertain About Sack. / The boy had gone with his father to Sudduth's home from his home near Fingerville, Spartanburg county, and had been at that home for over an hour before the visitors and host went down to the road and sat on a small moUnd as his father was being pointed a better road for him to return to Fingerville, the boy said. He was uncertain about the sack that was said to have been carried by his father and Sudduth from the' home and. did not know what it contained. He remembered th'at two strange men n had come tnrougn a grove 01 ueca i behind them, one carrying a rifle and the other a pistol in his pocket and had demanded tfcat no one move, but he failed to identify Harrison as one of these assailants. The man with the rifle had pointed the gun at the group while his companion had opened the sack the boy said. He *said that firing began at this point but did not remember who fired, what was said before the first shot, how many persons were shooting, how many bullets were discharged or which of the men fell first. When finishing the account he said that his father was killed soon after the first shot was fired and he was wounded'at the same fime and by the the same bullet. He knew that the man with the pistol did have the gun in his right side breeches pocket until the shooting began, but could not say whether or not it was ever fired or taken from the pocket.

Only October 2 Remains to Register Books for registration of voters in the general election in November will be opened at the various county court houses on the first Monday of each month, according to the acts governing registration. In order to register, taxpayers must be provided with a tax receipt. In order to vote, it is necessary to have registered 30 days before the general election and to have a registration certificate. Therefore only the first Monday in October remains in which to register for the November election. The statute provides that the registration books shall be opened on the first Monday of the month and "kept ? ? ?? lt??AAAnniTrA /lotTfl AO nVl uptJil uiiiee' &uv;i;ca3ivc uaja iu cai>u and every month." until 30 days before a general election when they shall be closed.
