"has beens."
And now comes Newberry wanting
to vote on the question of abolishing
its dispensari?s. Newberiy, by the
way, is the home county of Mr H II
Evans, chairman of the State l>oard
of directors.
Champion James Jeffries, of fistic
fame, has abdicated Ins throne and
the empire of pugilism is without a
legitimate sovereign. Al1 things
considered we are not a candidate to
fill the vacancy.
About one hundred convicts in
the State penitentiary* were poisoned
last week by eating cabbage cooked

While none of the convict died it
seems that wholesale murder was
k
the intention of the poisoner, who,
it is suspected, is one of the convicts.
Just what the motive could have
been is hard to imagine unless it
was just pure "cussedness."
Whatever else may be said of th?
Russians?and it seems that everyone
delights to give them a kiok?
they cannot be accused of cowardice.
Obedient to the command of his
Emperor, Rojestvensky camly and
heroically went to defeat and probable
death, knowing that he stood
no chance against his more powerful
adversary. The quality of courage

Mr Tonnme Steele returned homet
1 Friday, after sending several weeks
in the "City on the Sampit."
Last Saturday a party of about
tweiitv-ti\e or thirty from this and
, adjoining neighborhoods enjoyed a
good old-fashion.*d "fish fry" in the
Swamp at McCants' lake. This
was a day that was heartily enWed X
i by every one piesent and how ^ej<_
could it have been, with plenty of j*
tish and lots of other good "rations" |*j
and just enough mosquitoes to keep,
us from imagining that we were bv
'
the sea shore? Our little picnic
grounds were beautifully adorned
with earth's fairest flowers and their
gallant admirers, with just enough
"old folks" to keep order. Late in
the afternoon we assembled at the ;
pleasant home of Mrs L .T Nesmith, !
and enjoyed some nice, cord water ,
and sweet music.
It wt s the good pleasure of the ;
writer to attend tae commencement.
of the Union Graded school at
Rome last Friday. The 'day was an
ideal oue.. Soft, fleecy clouds floated
lazily high up in a clear, blue sky
and nature seemed to smile approval } ?
upon the jauspicious occasion. A j Tj
large crowd was present to enjoy the I ?
hospitality of the good folks of Koine,
who seemed to use* every effort to
make the day one of pleasure foi i
their visitors. The programme was ;
an excellent one and nicely carried !
out, as I haven't a copy I cannot
give the details. The welcome address
bv Furney Hemingway was1
j j & .
rich, rare and racy, eliciting loud1
applause and hearty laughter, Furney
is a ' funny" bov and said a fun- j
uy speech.' jp
The most interesting number ofjx
the programme was the debate. The I
query was, "Is a Man of Thought ^
cf More Benefit to His Countryl
Than a Man of Action?" The af-'
firniative was represented by Furney
Hemingway and Elise Rollins, and
the negative by Bessie Snow and'
Sadie Waldron. Each of the de-!
baters made a good effort and brought!
out some strong points, but the! \ k
judges decided in favor of the nega- j
tive side. j
Daisy Brock in ton's ''Essay on i
Mail" was heart'ly applauded, but!
we think Miss Daisy was too hard j
on the poor inoffensive man; her
"mamma'' should "chastise" her.1
All of the children did remarkably j
u-^11 rpfWtincr credit on their teach
ers and the school.
After dinner we had the pleasure
of listening to a masterly address by _
Hon J E EHerbe, whose subject was ?"*
"Country Schools." This is an im- j
portant subject and Mr Ellerbe j
made a tine speech. When Mr El* j f**
lerbe closed, Editor Josiah Doar of
Georgetown was introduced as the.
next speaker. Mr Doar said he in-1
tended to make a "big sjga.'ch" but
Mr Ellerbe had said just what he
, might have said, so he would do like,
"Pat" did when he was asked to
speak once. Pat got up and said:
"Faith, and these people must
think I can speak or they would
, not have asked me and, now rather
than disappoint them, I'll keep my !
d u mouth shut." Prof Ken- ;
