^ the following: As three men were
walking the trestle at Alston, one of
them slipped on the trestle, a shot
rang out, and the man did not get j

NH morning Greenville train, and the
engineer seeing the man fall on the

jjochihut, urc. o.?married, on .No- t
vember 29, at the Presbyterian church <
at 8. p. m., Mr J. Gibbs Pridmore and c
Miss Alice Riggins. The ceremony was a
performed by the Rev. Mr. Greer of j
8haron, 8. C. The rhurch was beautifully
and tastefully decorated and by ^
7 30 quite a congregation had gathered, ,
and promptly at 8 o'clock the wedding t
march began. The bride entered on the i
arm of her brother, Mr. 8. 8 Riggins {
The groom and best man entered from
a side door. The bride was richly f
dressed and I must confess they were t
the most beautiful couple I ever saw. t
Mr. Pridmore comes from Gaffney and j
Miss Alice is a daughter of Mr. Robt. r
Riggins of York ceunty. She had been c
employed in Lockhart mills office for f
some time as stenographer and type- j
writer.

I noticed sometime Hgo someone writ- t
ing about the so-called Gypaies that were y
camped here. They said that there was ]
some mystery connected with these peo- ]
pie but I claim that there is no mystery ',
about it, they are Just a set of people
(not Gypsies) going around getting their ,
living for nothing It is a surprise to
see the people flocking to them paying (|
them to ?ell them a whole lot of bish. i y
They would tell young wives that their (
husbands loved someone else M|d I hey j,
would believe it. I say the legislature- \
should say something about these |
dirty rakes doings over the country and ]
let the child labor and hour laws alone.

volunteers to build the Hose cottage,
eliing them he would untertake to do it w
within one day if they would contribute
heir work. Thenty-six carpenters, w
nasons and painteis, agreed, on the cor- tj
lit ion that Mr. Rose would furnish a C(
hicken dinner, and a time was flxed for h
ill to report at the site of the propostd 0

When noon came the framework was all b

Then came dinner. Mis. Ilose had
ried two dozen chickens. There were ft
en loaves of bread, four dozen ears of ?
loiled corn and nearly a bushel of mashed n
Kitatoes. The dessert consisted of cher- C
y cobbler and various kinds of pie The
jontractor had to call his men off for ^
c,
ear they would eat so much they would
rot be able to finish the job.
The hurry began again. Before the (1
roof was on the plasterers were at work,
md at exactly six o'clock the cottage wa^ b
Inished, all but the second coat of paint ^
he skim plaster, neither of which could
ie put on before the first coat dried.
Everything else, even to putting on thu ti
ocka and hi nates, was done liefore the tl
nen were called off, and done well.
The contractor complimented his men h
when the job was complete. He said ri
that although he had done "hurry" work j,
before, he had never known a house to g
ie begun ar.d completed in a day. The I
cottage contains five well lighted rooms ^
tnd a large attic. The woik is done n

rATE CONVENTION U. D. C. IN ORANGEBURG.
Too much cannot be said of the
gautiful and generous hospitality of
rangeburg. It is a larger and much
undsomer town than most of the
isitors expected to see, and it re?ived
the S. C. division of the U. D.
". In Che hearty old southern style,
o many of the houses, built since
herman pussed that way, are laage
nd colonial in architecture, and are
?t back from the street with spacious
iwns and big trees in front so that
n effect of great space is obtained
nd an air of dignity given to the
)WD.
The meetings of the convention
ere harmonious and more interestig
than any proceeding ones; the
umerous receptions were elegant.
The literary evening given by the
istorical committee of the Division
us made very brilliant by the music
mderqd by locul talent. Three
ucal soloists, one lady and two
k-ntleinen, gave beautiful selections,
nch of which received double enores.
"Torudor" given by one of
10 gentlemen was especially tine
nd had to be repeated. None of
iese, however, impressed the writer
) much as tiie beautiful way in
hich Orangeburg has commemorated
lie valor and devotion of her sons
ho "wore the grey." '
Large marble slabs are fitted into
tie brick wall on each side of the
nnrt house door, and the.s? sluh*
ear the names of those sons of
rangeburg who died for their homes
nd friends Forty-one names to the
olumn and twelve long columns, all
i alphabetical order, every letter of
he alphabet exc.ep.t Q and X fully
^presented. Ah! how those silent
'itnesses appealed to our hearts and
rought the tears to our eyes.
In front of these, just beyond the
on gate open'ng from the court
ouse green, on the pavement stands
very handsome monument. A tall
lassive pedestal of marble is surlounted
by the bronae figure of a
onfederute soldier.
It cost the people of Orangeburg
6,000 and it took them six years to
ollect the money?but they did it.
The inscriptions Are:
"To the Confederate Dead of
rangeburg District, 1861-1865."
"Erected by the Women of Orangeurg
County 1898 "
"A grateful tribute to the brave
efendern of our rights, our honor,
nd our homes."
"Let posterity emulate their virtifli
and treasure the memnrv of
heir valor and patriotism."
After all it doesn't seem so very
ard to die for those who love and
emember. M. 8. 0.
In Orangeburg last week a Spartanurg
delegate touched a Union deleate
upon the arm and said, "You
Inion women keep us real nervous,
rou are getting so fur ahead of us
ow and we never know what you'll
o at next."
The Union delegate replied, "Just
ake some bromidie. and keep per
ectly quiet, you'll get over it all
Ight."
Later the same Union delegate was
pproached thus, "Look here, can't
ou be prevailed on to come up to
nrtewn? We want you to stir us
U up mkI give u? new idea#."
