was full of love, even to overflowing,
for God and for humanity. 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-

GAMBLERS IN MAYOR’S COURT.
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.

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.* ”

and far more sad, for it
means the retirement from among
our readers, our contributors,-our
friends, and the paper we have
learned to love.
Our readers and our friends reas
sure us the paper is far better than
ever before; and we feel grateful
for such encouraging words, for our
whole energy, mind and soul- and
our.money —have been given every
day to the paper without cease since
wo assumed the editorship and man

We appreciate with our whole
heart the patronage our friends
have given us; they have shown fully
their appreciation of our effort to
serve them. To one and all we feel
grateful.
As in the past, so shall our future
remain, always ready to serve our
friends and countrymen to the most
possible good. We have served you
to the best of our ability; we will
continue to serve you in whatsoever
way we can when cflled upon.
In conclusion will again say good
bye. Respectfully.

W. M. U. 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

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,
