Mr. Bellinger has been a resident of Columbia ever since he entered ThjtTis tbe"second' temTof! tht office of •«omey gyi*r»l, and upon retiring from office he made his home here, entering inte the practice of law and meeting with much success. He had many warm and lasting friendships, and his 1 death removes one who had become (devoted and Ipyal citizen. Mr. j Ballinger had many of the elements of a great public character and had do.

I be-1 com promiser, he might have gone i school buildings in the near future It is perhaps not generally known that a recent Act of the Legislature provides that the Countv Board of Education shall set aside five per cent, of the entire school funds for the purpose of encouraging and aid ing in the construction of new school buildings. This will be good nevOs to the friends of education in this county who desire to see better school buildings erected. In addi tion to this fund there, was $20,000 appropriated from the State dispen sary fund by’the Legislature for a similar purpose and following the same conditions provided in this Act, therefore, it is possible for every school district in the county, that will invest $000 in a school building to obtain $600 additional from the County and State. With this incent ive. there is no reason why Colleton County should not nave some better school buildings.

Methods of Winning Men and Women to Bible Stt dy. The Rev. P.

Here are some arrow-heads from the quiver of this enthusiastic archer who “does things,” by sure aim, and continued effort. Wake Up—Opposite a certain rail way station may be found a restu- rant, with sign, “Open All Night:” a saloon, proclaiming, "We Never Close,” and a Chinese laundry fol lowing suit with "Me Wakee, Too.” We need to be roused. We must wake up, and push the Adult Class Movement. We don't begin with the janitor; he is supposed to be awake and at church early. We nqjst begin with the leaders. W'e have an unwritteh*law in our church that no one is to aerve upon the official board who is not interested in the Sunday-echool. We now have forty-two members on that board, and every one engaged in school work. A Church Habit—Six new families ■came into the church and were asked at once to come to Sunday-school. Four of them odd it was not their habit to attend, but aft?r repeated invitatfoty the six famUies came, end soon all were interested and regular attendants. They mid that "it aaaaad to ha the habit in that church, and there was evidently nothing else to do.” Definite Work-Men wiU work if tomething definite is given them to came to it. But somehow he be came interested in a membership contest, and -aid, "I waht to take a street-car full of recruits to Sunday- school.” He invited and gathered up the i»eople. paying the those who could not afford and also his and the candor and boldness were vvrDial.

The Grace of Perseverance—A stenographer, taking dictation from her employer, asked him, after an astonishing number of letters to one refractory customer, ‘‘How long do you intend to keep after him?” “Till 1 land him.” was the, signifi- :ant answer. This must be the fixed policy and practice of the New Movement class that would increase its membership.^ Then, there must oe continuous looking after those i O’Bannon. George Dnncah Bellinger, son of John A. and Ann P. Duncan Bellin ger, was bom November 4, 1856, at Barnwell. S. C. His father was a lawyer, a man of amiability and courage; he was lieutenant in Lan caster’s company. Brown’s regiment, and, in 1863 was killed at James Island, South Carolina, being but 30 years of age. The Bellingers are descended from the Bellinghams of Bellingham in Northumberland, and Ijave kept General Assembly of the State of South Carolina.

Have a hand-shak ing committee to‘‘shake’.' men into Ale class and out of it. too, and to ask after their welfare with genu ine interest. A preacher, visiting in Boston, set out to hear a celebrated minister there, but on the way strolled into a church, with which he had no fellowship—simply to see the inside. He was met by a young man at the head of a row of twenty-five. This man gave him cordial greeting, and passed him on along the row till he had had twenty-five hearty hand* shakes. He felt unwilling to leave after this, and went in for the ser vice. Coming out there was another row of smiling young men to shake hands. Next Sunday, in spite of his previous plans, he was drawn again to this particular church where he had been 90 welcqmed, feeling under aaort of obligation to go there. Now. if an orthodox preacher can be so drawn into a service which he did not intend to attend, what can not an organized Bible claas of men do with "the other fellow*”?

Elsewhere in this issue will be found the’card of Hon. D. L. Smith, announcing his candidacy for re- election for the House of Represent atives from this county. Mr. Smith, is well known throughout the entire county, and has many strong polit ical friends, having been in political life for a great many years.

Hiott of Jacksonboro, who is a candidate for the office of Probate Judge. Mr. Hiott has been persuaded by his many friends to make the race for this office. He is without political experience, with the exception of a political campaign for county supervisor, made eight years ago. He polled every vote at Wolfe Creek, his precinct, and re ceived a good vote at every precinct in his part of the county. Mr.‘Hiott is a cousin of the late M. H. Hiott, Probate Judge, and has large family connections through out the county. He is 80 years old, but is remarkably preserved for his age, and does not appear to be over 56 or 60. Adams Run. May 7.—Editor Press and Standard: A great event here in social circles and one of the most charming entertainments of the sea son, was the “Art Exhibition” given by Mrs T J Taylor last Monday af ternoon from three to six at her charming home. Mrs Taylor was assisted in receiv ing and entertaining by her rister-in law, Mrs. Hugh Taylor, her sister. Miss Eloise Cuthbert. and aunt. Miss May rant. The guests were each given a pro gram, from which was (attached a tiny pencil, then usheredj into the dining room and hall where the dif ferent landscape scenes were on ex hibition, then the fun began, for the various comments were highly amusing to those who knew from being behind the scene. The time devoted to the mental strain was about two hours, then It he papers were taken up and it was found that Mrs FitzSimons, Mr$. S. J. Humph and Mrs. Perry tied but Mrs. Humph cut the highest so she was the fortunate winnerjof the prize, a dainty center piece. Mrs Manigault Barnwell won the booby. After the prize was awarded dainty refreshments were served, little Pauline Taylor, niece of Mrs. Taylor, making a charming little waitress. The hostess displayed much taste and ingenuity in the get ting up and arrangementjof this af fair that we hope for another ere long. Miss Eloise Cuthbert ^of Summer- vilfe, is visiting her sister, Mrs. Talleford Taylor. Miss May rant returned to her home at Summerville last Tuesday. Miss Maggie May Boyntcn, who has been visiting her aunt, Mrs. S. J. uKumph, returned to her home at Green^ond last Friday. "More Anon’s compliments” to Jj» B. D., and will say many more such nice things will cause a disease known as enlargement of the head. We could not select ’’suffrage” nor the wearing of "hats” for we agree on those two subjects "zackly,” un less? I advance an unique view. Sonrte times the power behind the throne is stranger than the one who occupies the throne, one would think so by the way the "wavv iKilitician” seeks the gopdl lady of the house and tries to ingra tiate himself in her good graces by all the aris of which he is adept, for by winning her approval he many times w ins the votes, so why should woman want to vote? No true woman does she was not made to mingle with the rough element she would come in contact with at the polls. Stil! 1 think she should read and be able to converse intelligently on the political situation, so as to use her influence in the right direction, and not be token in by every candi date of pleasing appearance and plausible tonk,ue—for instance, pro hibition or dispensary. . We have St. Paul as authority for the uncovered heads and dare not dispute him. Butateinr wi old bachelor he was rather hard on the "weaker sex.” There can evei' be something said in favor of the leav ing off the hats. To buy theeedainty creations in this day and time makes the pocket book look like it had been struck by a cyclone, so when wifey leaves her hat off at night out of consideration of hubby’s pocket book (dews and night are rumous to hats) do not you really think in your hearts of hearts there is some ex cuse for her? Perhaps the subject I’d select for VIOLATION OF DISPENSARY LAW - Two cases of considerable interest were tried Monday before Mayor protem, Howell. Henry Middleton and Sam Gadsden were charged with violating the dispensary law, and each were given 30 days or $100. Both caws have appealed. From the testimony it appears that BiHy Connor gave Sam Gadsden $2.26 to get Henry Middkton to bring a gallon of Hquor from Yem- aesee, for which Middkton waato be paid 20c The Hquor was brought and was to be deUvqrad to Gadsden on the arrival of tho train, but Policemen Aclsprman arrested Mid dkton arhik the Hqoour was in hk by Pad gstt. Lwnada. and Moorer, and Kddktoo by Mr. Fkhboras. you to write upon would hot be in teresting to the public, so I’ll let you exercise your own good judgment in this matter, only as the editor said, "do not hide your light under a bushel.” How about the picnic for the correspondents our.
