Touch ing r nd lo.veLy was her devotion to those of her household, and her kindly sweet ways warmed the heart of everybody outside that knew her at all. She clasped the toil-hardened, homy hand of those less fortunate than herself in sympathizing friend ship; and, in snort, out of the full ness of her heart she gave always, even to a poor fallen creature, the greatest thing that one can give— namely, lovmg human kindness. One of Miss Haskell’s charitable endeavors was the organization here in 1899, of a circle of the well known order of the Ring’s Daughters and Sons, whose great and grand object, needless to mention, is the uplifting w ith seven representatives of each company of the 3rd Regiment, pitched camp at the target range four and one-half miles north of Charleston. This camp, it was quietly reported in camp, was named in honor of the disbursing officer. Col. "John Robert Lindsay,” so that he could find no excuse for forget ting to pay. The camp was under command of Col. Cogswell, to whom much credit is due for provisions made for the tomfort of the men. Capt. Raines, who acted as quartermaster, pro vided an excellent fare with his corps of Citadel cooks. After the daily practice, the mos quitoes began their "ping-pong” and kept it up during the night. One of the men, who disliked their music, purchased a preparation guaranteed to run them, or $10 if it did not. The fact that it^was a tent, and not a grandstand, might have been overlooked, or it might have been overzealousness in trying to get the $10, but certain,.it was—we surrendered the tent, and next night when it was suggested that "just a little be tried,” a unani- of humanity.

Monday Mayor Ackerman was en gaged a large [ art of the day trying four negroes who were charged with gambling Sun lay afternoon in a house in to-vo. These negroes were -aught by Chief Ackerman and com mitted to jail. Alex McCall, another negro, hai been employed by Chief Ackerman towaid in catching these negroes, whom it seems had been suspected of this Sunday gambling. Sunday afternoon John Ford, Buddy Odum, Murphy Staten and Robert Warren were found in Ford's boose with the windows and doors closed and all sekted around a box with" a deck of cards in the box. They ad mitted they were playing cards to pam away the time, but denied that they were gambling- Mayor Acker man thought differently, and fined eechopelSS or thirty days. They all annealed.

She was elected leader of the circle that she organized and through her influ ence there was united effort for nearly ten years, during which there was much good accomplished—that, of course, goes without saying. But. at last, circumstances over which no body had any control disbanded it. In a letter that she wrote to some one here the day week before she died, she sent a message of remem brance to the few members of the disbanded circle that are here now- some have moved off, while others have passed on from changeful time into eternity. To her message of remembrance she added these dear words: "Tell thenf all that I often think of ‘Bleat be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love.* ” When the seed-time had ended, and the fruits of the harvest ‘ were required at her hands, how full they of ripe, golden sheaves!

MEETING. The Woman’s Missionary Union at the Hendersonville Baptist Church on last Saturday was well attended, and very much enjoyed. The Mis sionary societies composing the untion were enthusiastic in their work, and the outlook is very en couraging. Excellent papers were read by Mias Sauls of Spoaks, and by Mrs H J Givens and Mrs Williams of Black Creek and Mrs J K Graves, of Great Swamp. The next quarterly meeting will be held with the Peniel Church, and the annual meeting in September with the Walterboro Church. On Sunday morning Rev Mr Cur tis preached to a very large congre gation from Esther 4:14, "Who knoweth whether Thou art come to the Kingdom for anch a time at this," This was an able and earnest sermon. A liberal oontribn- tion was made for State mlwinna The meeting of the union was pre- alded over by Mia R G W -Bryan of the HeoderapaviQe church. VWtor. CHILDREN S DAY ATjTABER NACLt The regular Children’s day exer cises were held at Tabernacle church near Smoaks Sunday. There were several hundred i>erspns pres ent, and a splendid program, consist ing of recitations, dialogues and songs, was carried out. Addresses were made by A. A. Patterson, Jr., Dr. H. W. Black and L. C. Padgett, all of which were very good, and listened to with rapt attention. Supt. B. L. Jones presided over the exercises and led in the singing. Arvevent of no little interest, not on the regular program, was the marriage immediately after the pro gram was concluded, of MissDrawdy and Mr. Preveaux. The ceremony was performed by Supt. Jones, who proved equal to the occasion. This maiyiaga of Mr. Preveaux and Mias Drawdy was quite a surprise^) their many friends. Dr. H. W. Black, J. M. Ackerman, and A. A. Patterson, Jr., of Walter boro were present. at that point, and thence to White Point. A rough sketch accompanying this letter shows the proposed road, also the public road now in use between these two points. The new road as shown on diagram would cross War ing creek not more than i mile be low the bridge, known as Gibson’s bridge now spanning this creek which is about 190 feet long. The new bridge would be considerably longer, as would also the embank ment leading to the bridge, which would necessarily make it a very ex- pensive crossing. This new road from Young’s Wand to Ethel would cost the County not less than $8,000 to $10,000. and would not save in distance as much a» one mile between these two points. You will note from the diagram that the furtherest point between these two routes is less than one , rpile, being from the Baptist church to a point in the vicinity of D. Q. Towle’s residence. Our contention is that this road is not of sufficient importance to the public to warrant the expenditure of the County’s money to this extent, especially when, as we vnderstand, the treas ury is dry. which would under these circumstances result in additional taxation to raise this money. The road beyond Ethel, croaring Toogoodoo river at that pointy feould be of great benefit to the peo ple living in that section,' but once they reached Ethel they would have a comparatively straight road, in good condition, to Young,s Island. Unfortunately a good many of our citizens, as well as those in other parts of the County and State, are always ready to sign a petition with out looking into its merits, or even knowing what they are signing; and are led like a lamb to the slaughter, without stopping to inquire whether they are being led in the interest of themselves, in the interest of the public or in t.he interest of the lead er. A little study of this digram will convince you, or any other man who has the interest of his County and the public at heart, tfcatjjiis would be a useless and extravagant expen diture of the public funds. ' We understand that this petition will go before the Legislature very soon and the representatives of our County should be in ptwesrion of all the facts in the case when it ia pre sented. We invite the public inves tigation into the matter. Yuors in the interest of the County at large, A Citizen. IN HONOR OF MISS HUCKER. Mias Eda Hickman of the Great Swamp sectiot entertained a few of her friends Sunday afternoon, June 19th, in honor of her cousin, Mtes Annie Hucker, of Ritter.
