To make It cut five slices of white bread about half an Inch thick, and spread each with softener sweet butter before slicing It from the loaf. Trim off the crust from the slices and shape the latter into squares of even slse, about three by three Inches. Lay esch slice, buttered side up. upon a oatstry board. Spread the first one with cream cheese rubbed smooth with minced parsley and cress, th? latter previously sprinkled very slightly with lemon-Juice; cover the next slice with a thin layer of smoked tongue freed from skin ami gristle; strew the third with rlced yoke of a hard egg seasoned with salt, pepper, and a bit of dry mustard snd put a layer of smoked salmon or of ro.?y ham on the fourth slice. Pile the slices one upon the Other evenly, and In order mentioned, and top them with the fifth slice laid witn the buttered side downward. Wrap csrefully In a cheese-eloth hinder which has been slightly dampened, and weight with a book for an hour or so. When ready to serve, remove the cheese-cloth and dlv'de the little brlek into thin slier*, cutting down? ward with a keen-edged carving knife. The result will be a square formed of half-Inch strips of bread pressed together and crossed by lln of greeen, red, yellow and pink. A different style of ribbon sandwich is made with a number of slices <>f brown bread and of white bread pil? ed alternately, each slice previously spread w!th cream cheese blended with finely-minced nuts, and overlaid with a crisp leaf of lettuce. When sliced downward the sandwich shows a pretty medley of brown and white crossed with hair lines of light jreen. ?The Delineator for Dect ruber. The Lutheran Synod meets this week st Lexington.

Ardls Attacked and Seri? ously Injured by Unknown Negro. Mr. R. R. Ardis, who works for the Pine and Cypress Lumber Co., at Rocky Bluff, was attacked by a negro while on his way to the mill from this city Wednesday afternoon. He was walking on the railroad track and was about 2 1-2 miles from town when he met a negro man. Just as he passed, the negro turned on him and struck him on the head and back with a railroad spike, inflicting a number of painful wounds, three of them on the head. After knocking him down the negro drew a pistol and shot at Mr. Ardls, but did not hit him. The attack was evidently for the purpose of robbery as the negro took a suit case which Mr. Ardis was carrying. Mr. Ardls did not recognize the ne? gro and up to this time he has not been captured and so far as is known no serious effort has been made to apprehend him. The sheriff was no? tified of the assault on Mr. Arids. President Taft, who passed through this city Mnnday afternoon at 6:30 o'clock, en route from Augusta to Florence, made a brief stop at the de- j pot and, from the rear platform of, his special train, addressed the three or four thousand people, who had gathered on the station grounds to greet him. When the special pulled into the station yard the entire place was massed with people who had been gathering for more than an hour. At the point where the train was to stop the Sumter Light Infan? try was lined up on either side of the | track to keep back the crowd. The band struck up a lively air as the train stopped and the immense crowd sheered enthusiastically and cordial? ly. President Taft came promptly to the rear platform, accompanied by Gov. Ansel and other members of the party. The local committee of re? ception, headed by Mr. R. I. Manning hoarded the train and after exchange of greetings, Mr. Manning welcomed the President to Sumter and Intro dued him to the crovvd. President Taft spoke for perhaps five minutes and had not finite concluded his re? marks when the train pulled out, forcing him to cut his speech short and bow his adieu to the crowd. The Sumter High School football team played in Floreence Monday, their opponents being the team of the Florence Presbyterian High School. The game was a fast and scrappy ex? hibition and the Florence boys made a game and determined effort to put the ball across the line and break Sumter's record of never having been scored against. But they couldn't do It?Sumter was too strong for them and knew too much about football. The Sumter team had everything and while the score was not as big as some of those piled up last year, the Game Cocks were will satisfied with 10 to 9. Mr. L C.

With Dr. Bigham, Was Convicted of Manslaughter at Georgetown Recently for Killing Young Mi's. BlghAm, GlvOfl Himself Up, Hut the Hushaml is Apparently Missing?Horn! of Each Was I'if tecn Hundred Dollars. Georgetown, Nov. 10.?From de? velopments within the past few days it seems likely that Dr. G. C. Rlgham. who with W. B. Avant was convicted at the last term of court of man? slaughter for the killing of Mrs. Big ham on Murrel's Inlet, will yet escape the penalty of three and a half years' hard labor in the epnitentiary, im? posed by Judge Watts. The notice of appeal made by the defendant's attor? ney, J. W. Ragsdale, not having been filed within the ten days allowed by law, Solicitor Wells wired Sheriff Scurry to apprehend the convicted parties at once, they being out on a $1,500 bond. On Saturday Avant, learning of his being wanted by the sheriff, cam to town from his home at Harpers and surrendered himself. He is now in the county jail. Sheriff Scurry wired Sheriff Burch, of Flor? ence county, to arrest Dr. Bigham immediately, but from information so far received it seems that he cannot be found. The surmise is that he has fled the State.. There seems to have been some in? consistencies In the bonds required by Bigham and Avant. When the men were first arrested on the warrants is? sued by the coroner, the bonds wore fixed at $500 each, being later raised, at the instance of the solicitor, to $2, 500, under which amount they appear? ed for trial. After conviction and sen? tence the men were turned loose un? der a bond of only $1,500, each pend? ing the result of an appeal to the Su? preme Court. It Is said that as Dr. Bigham's family are well-to-do, the forfeiture of the bond is of small con? sequence. D. A. R. MEETING AT GREEN? WOOD. South Carolina Daughters of the American Revolution in Session.

Moultrie Bratton, after which "America" was sung by the choir and the audience. Then followed respon? sive readings from the D. A. R. ritual.

Lander College chorus then sang with feeling and spirit that noble ode, "Carolina." The young ladies were all attired In colonial costumes. The response to the addresses of welcome were made by Mrs. Louise F. Mayes, of Greenville. Mrs. Mayes is a woman of much culture, and she was much complimented upon her address. Then followed a violin selection by Miss Annie E. Aunspaugh, of the mu? sic department of Lander Colege. Mrs. R. 1). Wright then extendel greetings from the U. D. C. of South Carolina. Mrs. Wright is a very forc? ible speaker and held the attention of her audlenee closely, and was most happy in the blending of the patriot? ic spirit Of 1S61-65 with that of 1776. Mrs. Hobt. D. Barle, of Columbia, then sang a vocal selection, "Birds of Spring," and her encore was "Cava j hera Rusticana." Mrs. Barle has a charming voice Of much sweetness and power. Mrs. R. Moultrie Bratton, State Re? gent, did not read a regular report.
