LOCAL INTELLIGENCr'. Thursday, December 22, .1898 LOCAL BItEFS. -Rev. Mr. Croat is able to be out agaiv after ois recent sickness. -Rev. Jabrz Ferris, pastor of the Reptist Church here, preached in the Baptist Church at Kershaw on Snday. -Rebeacs, the little daughter of Dr. and Mrs..- . B. Hanahan, is quite iick. It is hoped that she will soon recover. -Mr. W. B. Creight is having re pairs made on the cotton yarehouse that was daMaged by fire several months ago. -The ladies of the Baptist Church are arranging for a feast for the chil dren of that Sunday School. Tbey hope t have it on Tuesday evening, and will make the children have a nice time. -Te little colored girl who was so badly burned about two weeks ago, died on Wednesday morning from the effects of the burn. It was not thought at first that the burns were so serious, though very pa'nful. --The young ladies from Winnsboro wno. are attending the various cIl leges in Columbia will spend Christ mas at home. Miss Jennie and Marie Beaty, Clara Beaty and Isabel Doug lass arc among those who were ex pctea to reach home on Wednesday. -The mayor of Charlotte has passed an ordinance forbidding the firing of crackers on the streets of that city. It would be well it the mayors of all towns and cities should follow his exarop'e. Many accidents, such as happened here 'on Tuesday, would be preveated if this most unappropriate way of celebrating Christmas could be stopped. -Srmtor Tilhnau has introduced a bill to give Mrs. Belle McCaw Alston a pcni'm of fifty dollars per month. It was stated a short time ago in a Chester paper that Mrs. Alston was to receive a pension of five dollars per day from the governient. As the above will prove,- this report was a mistake, the bill not having bcen in troduced at the time that this- state ment was written. --Lumnber is being brought here for the new passenger depot and it is ex pected iniat the building will be finished and ready to be occnpied at the end of about three months. It was said at one time that the depot would be finished by the 1st of January, but that was inmpossible. The favorite Sunday afternoon walk for those who are interested is past the new depot and a great many people can be seen there on a fine Sunday afterrnoon. -The negro Ellison Brown who was so dangerously wounded bWy Harris on Satur'day evening and who has been in such a critical condition evter since, is showing Eome slight signs ofimproverr.ent, and the attend ing physician thinks that he might r ecover after iall. When his wounds were first examined it was thought that his recovery .would .be impossible and that he could not live more than a few days. The negro who did the shooting of course is still in jail.

Morticello, Dec. 16, 1898. A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. Clarke McCants, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jie. G. McCants, met with a serica:: acci:leumt on Tuesday. He and several other bnys were firing crackers near- the A R. P. parsonage, and a large '-racker exploded in his right band. The force of the explosion was so great that the first joint of the little fellow's min~dle finger was blown off, -the thumb was knocked ont of joint and (t~e hand was spIl open. The index finger- was badly hurt also, but the doctor- hopes tQ be'able to save it. '1h echild suffering very much from the wound and shock was taken to a drug store and received medical atten tion very promptly, and at last ac counts he was doing vet y nmcely. rnn nye e-na, Fs.

The special train carry ing Prcsident McKinley aud hii party passed through town on Monday night at about half past eleven o'clock. It is unforiunate that the Presidential train should have passed through at ' ach an unsenson able hour a a thus prevent our citi zens from having even a glimpse of Mr. McKinley. The people of Colum bia were more fortunate, and not only had a sight of the President, but were honored by a little speech from him. The south-bound train was delayed on Monday night by having to wait for the President's train. We hope that if the President ever passes this way again it will not be in the dead of night. All of us would like to have seen Mr. McKinley and the other distinguisted men in the party. Remarkable Rescue. Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield, [Il., makes the statement, that she caught cold, . which settled on her lungs: she was treated for a month by her family physician, but grew worse. He told her she was a hopeless victim of consuration and that no medicine could cure her. Her druggist sug gested Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption; she bought a bottle and to her delight found herself benefited from first dose. She continued its use and after taking sixbottles, found her self sound and well; now does her ewn housework, and is as well as she ever was. Free trial bottles of this Great Discovery at McMaster Co.'s drug store. Large bottles 50 cents and $1.00. 6 COMING AND GOING. Sheriff R. E. Ellison has returned from a hunting expedition.

He witbholds hi real :i.me because he doesn't think that, as a literary achiievement, it could contribute to a fame which he never had. Iu it he has anathematized nobod-:, slandered nobody, nor said aught to wound auii body's fcIIhgs. Yelu can publish it, if you will; if not, yon can commit it to the voracious jaws of the relentless waste basket, But don't, I beseech you, ptch it in rudely and unfeelinagly, but fold it with care, and lay it in gently and reverently, for you know not what hopes you may thus entomb to -ise again. "Quoth the raven, ne'crmorc." Farmer Blue. The cry of "Hard Times" at the door The farmer oft has heard before, Yet never, until here of late, Has e'enis shadow crossed the gate. But row with ghostly step and mien, Within our homes his form is seen. King cotton is no longer king, No iorger do his praises ring, Of his royalty be is shorn, From bis brow the dioem's torn. He .; only now a worthless thing For whom no homage vassels bring Low xrices have dethroned quite, At.. left his subjects in a plight, Witout a star to guide them o), V th scarce a hope to build upon. But tho' cast down, they don't despair Thd f.-runes so.nehow to repair. Still . :y'ie puzzled just what to do W ha :ur-e is wisest to pursue. On. - *-nds, the merchants, all advise, If fr.. a our low estate we'd rise And from our hines the wolf expe!, We mst raise meat and grain to sell. Now their advice seems stripped of self, And leaves to them slim ch'nce of pelf; For with meat, corn, wheat, oats, and rye, There'd not be much for us to buy, And ston out friends would come to be As posr as even now are we. Far he it from each farmer's i-eart To c' so base and mean a par!! %hrein our friends grow can and po or Wilke we should have abut-'Itt store 'Tis irue that in the bygone past The merchant held us hard anc fast Yhether we begged, or dared to stand, Ie always held the w~tining hand.

For without a change we well know Tba' soon the plow must cease to go. And ;,ow, dear HERALD, we must close Before our muse begins to dozo, For Morpheus whispers it is time o seek our couch and cease to rhyme. f e'er we win kind Fortune's smile nd heap up riches in a pile, erhaps our muse may come again nd sing for thee a sweeter strain. ill then we must both work and pray nd watch the coming of that day hen the farmer shall be the peer f any man that treads this sphere. ood night, dear HERALD! pleasant dreams, hile Luna pours her softest beams, J hile stars of night shine bright and fair, nd bowers of night perfume the air.
