Powders “Railroad’' or “Railway.” Prof. B. H. Myers, Ph. D., of the University of Wisconsin, has the fol lowing to say, in the Railway World, on this question of terminology: “The words ‘railway’ and ‘railroad’ j have been used interchangeably and , 4 . indiscriminately throughout the Unite<l An election will be held today, States Somet f mes the one has serVe(1 ( I uesda> for a sup< 1 ’ . . . j to designate a company which stands graded schools, and one a . . • j in a certain legal relation to another; The lodge of Red Men which was j thus, as is well known, the A.

In reorgani zations and consolidations dn the Children’s day exercises were hell United States, the two words have at Midway Sunday. The attendance been of great utility and convenience, was large, many going from this place, During the early epochs of our rail way history the term Rail Road was used almost exclusively, while in Eng land the term railway is quite as old as the institution itself, and for many years past, ‘railway’ has been used al most exclusively throughout Great Britain and her colonies. An eminent philologist to whom the relative merits of the two words were submitted de cided in favor of the term ‘railway,’ partly on the ground that ‘railway’ was better adapted to the use of both noun and adjective and that it sounded bet ter. affording a smoother form of ex pression. In his first monograph on railway subjects, the present writer employed the word ‘railroad’; but in all subsequent publications he has and lemonade was furnished in abun ; dance to the congregation. f There was only one case in the may- | or’s court yesterday morning. Bob White, colored, was up on a charge of selling liquor; but his case was con tinued until this morning. At a meeting of the board of direct ors of the National Bank of Gaffney, held in the offlc* of the president last Friday, the usual semi-annual dividend of 1 per cent, was declared, payable July 1st. Some of the young men of the city gave a very delightful dance at the Commercial Hotel Friday night, in honor of visiting young ladies. The I used the word ‘railway,’ as being, on affair was greatly enjoyed by all who : the whole, a much more agreeable and took part. Prescription Druggists J. E.

American railway legislation has been conspicu- ously wanting in the definition of terms; and had the English custom of defining the terms used been adopted by American law makers it is not im probable that either railway or railroad has held the field to the practical ex clusion of the other. However, both words abound in our laws and neither can be said to have defeated the other. OrledoI b’gi^h^ure or in company terminology. Virginia has now de clared that the two terms shall be used and construed synonymously in the laws and decisions <»f the State. Hannibal Hamlin’s Client. Hannibal Hamlin, for many years a United States senator from Maine, and vice president durin’g the Civil war, was wont to t< 11 the following story on himself, says the Boston Herald: An Englishman by the name of Pear son while passing along the main street in Bangor stepped in a hole in the sidewalk, and falling, broke his leg. He brought suit against the city for $1,000 and engaged Hamlin for counsel. Hamlin won his case, but the city ap pealed to the supreme court. Here, al so, the decision was for Hamlin’s ] client. After settling up the claim. Hamlin sent for his client and handed him $1. i “What’s this?” asked the English-) man. “That’s your damages, after taking out my fee, the cost of appeal, and sev eral other expenses,” said Hamlin. The Englishman looked at the dol lar. and then at Hamlin. “What’s the matter with this,” he said: “is it bad?” Crockett and the Mules. (Harper’s Weekly.) When Davy Crockett sat in the na tional legislature as a representative of the State of Texas he had many clashes with men of more education but less wit than himself. It is told of him that one day while standing in front of his hotel on Pennslyvania avenue a swarm of mules trotted bv under the custody of an overseer from one of the stock farms in Virginia. A congressman from Boston, who was standing near by, attracted Crockett’s attention to the unusual sight, saying: “Hello there, Crockett: here’s a lot of your constituents on parade. Where are they going?” The celebrated hunter looked at the animals with a quizzical glance, and then turning to the other said quietly, but with great emphasis, “They are going to Massachusetts to teach school.” NOTICE Colored Teachers of Cherokee County.

First Sight of a Train. “Now and then one hears of people who have never seen a locomotive or a train of cars, but these people are becoming scarcer as the time passes, until they are almost as remote as the legendary heroes of the olden times,” said C. T. Bruce, of Roanoke, Va. “A few weeks ago, however, it was my fortune to notice the actions of a grown man who had never seen a train or heard the whistle of an en gine or steamboat. It, was in a little village in Kentucky, near the wild mountainous districts inhabited by the moonshiners, and this man had been arrested by the revenue men. He was being taken to a place for trial, and at the village where I encountered the party his first trip on the cars was to begin. “Suddenly the train whistled not more than a quarter of a mile away. The moonshiner jumped nearly three feet and stood like an animal at hay, his head up and his nostrils quivering with astonishment. And in a few min utes the train rolled in. The man from the mountains, as the engine passed the platform, became as one bereft of reason. Down to his knees he dropped, and with his manacled hands extended in a gesture of suppli cation and with tightly closed eyes, he broke into a tearful prayer to, be saved. He had to be carried on board, and was nearly insane during the trip. From his wild ravings we gathered that he thought the end o f the world had come.” —New Straw Hats at cost at Carroll & Byers’. his property was sold r taxes because ho didn’t read the treasurer's' sales. Ho wr.s arrested and fined $8 for going 1. nting on Sunday simply because he didn’t know it was Sunday, and paid $30(1 for a lot of forged notes that had been advertised two weeks and the public cautioned not to negotiate them. He then paid a big American with a foot like a forge hammer to kick him all the way to the newspaper office, where he paid four years in advance and made the editor sign an agree ment to knock him down and rob him if he ever ordered his paper stopped again. The Tables Reversed. The game of ball between the two teams heretofore known as The News and The Ledger, last Friday was quite interesting, although The News turned the tables on The Ledger, winning by the score of 10 to 5.

The teams will nlay again this after noon, hut on account of dissatisfaction will play under another name. The Ledger had no objection to the boys using its name, but some seemed to think it would create too much rivalry. WANTED! All youi clothes that need brightening uu bring them to us.
