Dr C D Jacobs has opened an office on the second floor of Stack ley's new building, where he offers his services to the public as a medical practitioner. Dr Jacobs has had about a year's experience ;u his profession and has already met with quite marked success iu his practice. Magistrate James Bryan seized a box of "jag juice" at Lane Tuesday aud confiscated it, us he had a suspicion that it was intended for the "blind tiger'' trade. The package was addressed to "Vest?r Gamble, Lane, S. C.," and apparently con taiued about 8 or 10 quarts of the stuff. Mr J S Eron is utilizing a good space this week lo convey a business message to our readers and he will continae to tell them things of interest from week to week. Mr Eron has lately got in an elegant line of new and seasonable goods and prospective buyers will fiud it profitable to visit his establishment. The legislative delegative met Monday here and the three members of the house named DrJ L Bass a9 a member of the county board of control, Senator Bass not voting. This gives two members, but so far as we can learn the board of education has not yet uamed their man, so that the liquor situutiou is likely to remain in statu quo for some time to come. \ Graded School Department. Among those who visited our school last week was one of our townsmen, Mr. G. Ollie Epps. After speaking some encouraging words to the 10th grade, he presented each member of the I grade with a beautiful Bible.1 j We appreciate very much this| kindness on the part ol Mr. Epps. Mr Burrie Brockinton, of the ninth grade, who has been quite ; sick for some time, is back at | school. Miss llallie McCollough, of : the eighth grade, was taken to I her home near Taft on account j of sickness. We hope she will i soon be able to return to school.

There It a Differenco Between Him Here ar.d In England. "The different use of the same ! words in England and America," ' said the returned tourist, "is sometimes amusing, sometimes bewildering, and occasionally, as I have found it, embarrassing. During mv ! i sojourn in the British isles I found myself one evening in the quaint ' old town of Warwick and very much 1 in need of a square meal. Not being familiar with the place, I step- 1 ped into a drug store, or chemist's, OQ +h nu noli if f/\ ninlrn inntiirino I The proprietor looked me over. " 'Well,' he said, 'if you want ho- ! tel faro, go up to the Arms, but if you're looking for a place where a homely man can get his shilling's worth go right across the street/ indicating a little restaurant. "My good looks are not my strongest point, but I don't know that I ever had their absence so forcibly brought home to me?at least by a stranger. I must have . regarded mv informant with some . interest. 'Thank you,' I said, 'and supposing I were a beauty, where would I go?' "The English aren't overquick to see a point, and it took him at least ' half a minute to begin to smile. The relaxation of his countenance j ended in a laugh. " 'Bless you/ he said, 1 wasn't referring to your face, but to j*our tastes. I fancied you were a man who wanted plain food, and plenty of it. Homely here means home loving, substantial folks/ ^ "So" we arrived at a satisfactory understanding, and later, I am glad to sav, I had a satisfactory meal. .

( CDt Bscl: at ths Plumber. j The Rfv. Dr. J. 0. Pock, once * pastor of Trinity Methodist church, 1 was not only fond of a good horse, ' but of a good joke, and he could preach a good sermon. One year 1 funds were low in the,church treas- ^ ury, and it devolved to some extent * upon the pastor to see that money ^ was raised. A meeting for the discussion of ways and means was called, the doctor being present. The 1 directors suggested that some of the wealthiest members of the congre- 1 gation be called on and asked for * private subscriptions. To this Dr. Peck agreed. A few days later he was met on the street by one of the ' directors. i "Well, doctor," said he, "how are ] you getting on money raising ?" "Fine," said Dr. Peck as his eyes 1 [ twinkled. "I went around to several bankers, merchants and manufacturers, but it was of no use. !

A rather stout lady was enjoying a bath at Scarborough. She kept a tight hold of the bathing machine rope and gave quite a juvenile scrcanilct as each wave of the incoming tide tried in vain to lift her ^Anf Hn tlxn con<lc r?loiP 1 i Will lit'l ICVll VU bliv cuuvtu www . by sat ,t countryman paying his first \ visit to tiie seaside. As the tide brought each successive wave nearer to the position he had taken up he cast an indignant glance in the lady's direction. At last an extra big one came splash, and the holiday suit was ruined. Flesh and blood could stand it no longer. Jumping up, he shouted in a voice which completely drowned a nigger ' I minstrels' chorus: "Hi, Fatty! If ! tha dunnot stop thy blessed boppin tha'll be droonin' folk!"?London Mail. . ( .

It was a good head, and the keen wittcd huckster was alive to the chance of selling it, although the hour was late. As he glanced from ?ide to side of the street, seeking a purchaser, says a writer in the NewYork Sun, he was hailed from a doorway by a housewife's cry: "What are you selling?" "Whoa, Bill!" said the vender to his horse, and to the prospective customer he called, "Only one cabbage left, missus!" "Is it a good one?'* she asked from the curb. "Sure; as good as any ever came from Jersey." "How much do you want for it?" "It's worth a dime, lady, but I want to sell out, so you can have it for a nickel." After pulling off some of the leaves to make sure the head was fresh and sound the woman handed :hc huckster a nickel. The coin was transferred to his pocket, already filled, and the cabbage was daced in the woman's arms. As she turned to go another woman who had come up during the .argaiuing said to the merchant: "Got any cabbage?" "Yes, ma'am; one head left." "How much is it?" "Ton cents." "Is it a good head?" "Finest kind of Long Island cabjage." The woman who had just bought he last head of cabbage was astonslicd bv his calm as.?crtion that he lad one left when she knew the oor;om of his cart was bare. She wait?d to ^c? he would satisfy the second woiniin. When the last comer snid, 'Til :ake it," the huckster turned calmly o the owner of the cabbage, took it ;rom her arms and handed it t? the lew customer. At the same time le took her dime from her fingers. As the first woman stood with nouth open, too astonished to pro:est, the second walked awav. Then :he woman deprived of her cabbage found voice to say indignantly: "That was my cabbage! How"? The huckster interrupted her with: "Yes, ma'am; I know it. Here's the dime I got you for it. You're i nickel in." nut X U1UII t nuiu vu ecu U. "Didn't want to pell it!" he exclaimed in a sorrowful tone. "Sure rou did when you could make a profit like that.

Professed politicians who have reduced public office to an exa*t science find the independent voter a sad stumbling block, a fact which is amusingly disclosed bv a story found in the recent life*of the late George Monro Grant, the eminent Canadian educator and clergyman, i Toward the end of Sir John Mac- J donald's life he and Principal Grant, then the head of Queen's college, met at dinner at the house of the premier's brother-in-law, Professor Williamson. "How I wish," the premier said to the principal, "that you would be a steady friend of mine!" "My dear Sir John," the principal replied, "I have always supported you when you were right." The premier's eyes twinkled, and he laid his hand upon the shoulder of the principal. "My dear man," said he, "I have I no use for that spec ies of friendship!" The Vote Was Secured. An ex-M. P. who contested a highland constituency some years ago tells the following anecdote: Once, after a long and fatiguing " * . 1 i i -1! x day's canvass, 1 tacKiea a aisseming minister, who was very keen upon the subject of getting the bishops out of the house of lords, and in pursuance cf his favorite hobby he asked me: "Well, sir, what are you prepared to do about the bishops ?" I was irritated and fatigued by ray day's work, and I testily muttered. "Oh, hang the bishops!" The minister bowed and replied: "Well, sir, you go rather beyond me there. I canna undertake to go altogether that length with you, but you shall hae my vote."?Pearson's j Weekly. " ' ? 07 GOODS V , V. * \ s s J No goods at sale prices charged. s s s m, W ~~ l;. H - i .
