Supt of Education. H*avent Artillery. On Monday night lightning struck a large tree near the cow ?hel of Mr. Geo. T. Little, and .killed two very valuable cows that were lying under it. No suit against the railroad this time, even if the cows were Jerseys. George does not live near enough to it. We regret his loss. Our Job Office. We have just completed our full line of job printing supplies, and are prepared to turn out any work that may be brought us. A single glance at any job that is turned out by tlvs office will convince the most skeptical that .:wp da , exactly as wa promised to do. ? Again we extend thanks for the kind words and more sub ? istuutial encouragement in our ^efforts to give you a good paper. .A sentence in one letter we re ceived the other day particularly struck us: "We cannot live with out that progressive pajier, the People, so ask Mr. Schrock to aend us tl*e last three copies to ,my new address, at Colorado Springs, Col." We sent them with pleasure. A Ti|(er Caught. Our energetic friend, Police . man J. A. Sliaw, of Bethune, ar rested at that place on last Sun day, J. Ladson Smith, on the charge of selling blind tiger whiskey. On Monday he proved the charcre on liim before Mayor King, who promptly gave Lad son his choice of paying a fine of $10 or taking a course in road working for 5?0 <iays. It seems that the colored brethren were holding a love feast in Odd Fellows Hull, and Ladson was furnishing the xfririt it'll part of the entertainment. Home Burned. On last Thursday evening Mr. Mint Tiranham, who lives on the plantation of Mr, .lohti Kabon in West "Watoree had the misfor tune to lose his house by tire, to gether with all its contents. Mrs, Branlmm it seems had made a tire in her stove preparatory to cooking supper, atter which she went to the lot to milk. The fire burned so rapidly that nothing in the house could be rsaved. This is a case for the charitably disposed to tako up. Any contributions for the relief of the family of Mr. Branham will be reemved at this office and promptly remitted. To Carrespoiuleiitft.

'We hear that the old woman who occupied it lost all she had, including some money. Death. Mr. Ben. Oardner,xa brother of Mr. Jesse E. Gardner, of. Be thune, was killed on Saturday at Antalusta, Ala. We could not learn the particulars. His re mains were brought to Bethune and interred there on Tuesday. Our sympathy is extended to the family. Advertising* Why is it The People is not getting its share ot the legal, county and municipal advertis ing? Of course if we have done anything that we are sorry for we are glad of it and apologize most handsomely. However, we want the ads. The People is said to be the most widely read newspaper ever published in the county, and if this is the fact, why are we not getting the ad vertisements. We have always heard that the ads. followed the paper that held the eye of the reading public, so it this is so we are entitled to at least our share of them. Camp Richard Klrkland. This Camp met on Saturday, and after the usual routine busi ness had been transacted, which included the election of several new members, proceeded to elect five delegates, with their alter nates, to the State Convention at Charleston. A sponsor for the Camp, in the person of Miss Henrietta Brailsford, with her Maid of Honor, Miss Mary Can tey, were chosen. The meeting adjourned after electing four delegates to the National convention, the delega tion being headed by Capt. L. L. Clyburn. An invitation, by motion of Col. E. B. Cantey, was extended to Camp Angus McLaurm and to Kershaw Camp to meet the lo cal Camp here on Memorial Day to join with ua in paying tribute to our honored dead. ITntl?n?'tr l>rntli. Mi . Willis C. Nettles, a form er valued citizen of tlns^ place, was struck and almost instantly killed by a train at Earle, Ark., on the 4th inst., presumably while in the discharge of some duty connected with an exten sive business of which he was in charge at that noint. This untimely death strikes us with sadness and causes us to morat izq_,9# qnce^tainties of human life. Only a few days previous to*tWe accident w?e were shown a photograph of Willis which re presented him as a man of mag nificent physique, good in the natural order of things for a long life, with such degree of happiness as usually falls to the lot of mankind. Now he is join ed to his fathers, perhaps him self better off, but leaving an j aching void in the hearts of the relatives and friends who loved him, Mr. Nettles was a friend of our earliest youth, and we mourn sincerely. Sam and .fake. It rained oil Saturday evening, but Jake was on tlie scene asj usual, and lined up before the store of Mr. H. G. Carrison, as h<) liad heard Sam say thrtt he was going 1o buy a pair of those Hart & Arrow shoes mentioned in our last, and the joke he had to tell Sam was too good for long keeping. Pretty soon along came Sam, and JaKo suid to inm, with a smile on his face that, made it look like a full moon in August: , "Sam, dey wns do funnies' ting happen de odder day yu eber hear ob.

Meet me heah agin ncx' SwVIty. - IgBOtllL MT mumfr It was witn a mingled feeling of pleasure and sadness that we attended the Memorial exercises at the cemetery on Tuesday af ternoon?pleasure at witnessing the evident interest of the peo ple in honoring their dead, sad ness as we looked upon the "city of tne dead" and thought of the many gallant spirits who are ly ing there cold and silent, men who died for principle, and many at the hand of the foreign hire ling and not at that of the regu lar foe man north of Mason & Dixon's Line. The day was ideal, the audi ence larger than hud ever been seen at a similar gathering, the programme full and complete, and the Orator of the day just tit to make the effort of his life in the way of a memorial address. The following was the order of march: Kerliaw Guards, slow inarch at tap of drum. Children of the Graded School ? a host of them, Ladies of the Memorial Association, United Daughters ol the (!?nf?lerary, The Hon. J. T. I lay, orator of the dny, accompanied by ?t he several ininU isters of the city, excepting Kev. W. IV. Mi"8, who is yet too ill to be out. The old Veterans, paiufully few in numbers. The general public, a great multitude The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev. A. B. Earle, of the Methodist Church, which prayer was followed by the song, "Maryland, My Maryland," ex quisitely rendered by a select choir led by Mr. J. B. Wallace on the cornet. Mr. Hay was then introduced in beautiful and feeling language by Hon. B. 15. Clarke. Mr, Hay, in his address, made one of the strongest points to which wo have ever listenod when he said that character was the basis of all that is good and noble. Take that away and noth ing remains. "We thoroughly enjoyed his re marks as to assimilation. If there is anything under the sun that tries our patience to the lim it, it is to see see one of our young men, gently born, gently bred, and witn a dozen ancestors of fame and repute amongst us, oome splitting down the street on a broncho bareheaded. And what, if in this process of lation , will be thought, as a class, of a gentle girl, 1 elm i* merely ftA hnriiHj the fa*hion, if her friends -and the community in general should see her on horseback axtraddlef Prom such assimila* tion, good Lord, deliver us. After Private Hay's address, the choir rendered "The Bonnie Blue Flag." Col. W. D. Trant hamtham, by request of. Mrs. C. J. Shanuon, jr., read the rules governing the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Then, while the budges of hon or were being pinned upon the luppels of the coats of the seve ral veterans who had not re ceived them, the choir rendered in a most beautiful manner "Tenting on the Old Camp Ground. " The proceedings were closed with prayer by that inveterate old rebel, but Christian gentle man, Rev. W. B. Gordon. Long may all that witnessed the exercises ou Tuesday live to take part in them. BREVITIES. If there .is any moral in the story of Sam and Julio this week, wo can not sec it. Can you? Ask Snyder. The farmers who were fortun ate enough to get their share of that beautiful rain on Satuaday are hard at work improving an opportunity long delayed.

If Sam and Jake are not up to the mark this week blame them and not us. We try to give you each week only the most amusing and the most instructive parts of their conversation, and it is not every week that they are in structive or amusing. A blinded horse can be led out of a burning stable at any time, but in the matter of this court house proposition, it is the horse that is burning and the stable that is blinded. Can our friends who favor the court house scheme expound this proposition? Why do not some ofourmonied men co-operate with some of those Columbia capitalists aud build a trolly line connecting the two cities? rrtlerei> a mint of money in it without considering the other advantages which would accrue to the inhabitants of both cities.

If you do not just agree with us, cuss and keep quiet. We promis not to kill more of you than you do of us. Closing the cess pools of the is no doubt a good move tor a starter, but why not go into something larger? We are ^re ceiving more material damage from the open ditches, drains and so forth, than can be possibly en compassed by the few cess pools we have, all of which are in a small area. We have room in our columns for the announcement of at least, three more candidates for solici tor, two for Congress, and for one or more Clerks of Court. There is also space for the cards of several minor officers, such as Governors, Secretaries of State, State Treasurers and smaller fry. We had a promise of an inter esting article on a very impor tant subject from a prominent public man of our county for this issue. While we must con fess to a feeling of disappoint ment ut its non receipt, the sub ject will keep, and we hope to give our readers a treat in our next. The most of our country corre spondents must either bo at. work on the farm and elsewhere, or suffering- from a transient attack of loss of grey matter. If the latter, we hope they may soon recover; and if the former, we say, "plow on, boys. We guess we can hold things down until you have more leisure."

They were somewhat cen tral figures as both of theui re ceived at the hands of Mrs. A. W. Burnet, Pres't U. D. C. of S. C., that grandest of all decorarions, the Southern Cross of Honor.
