The Bell Telephone had a mos unique design, a blue and whit chiffon l>ell with an electric clapper This was suspended from the bal cony of the central office over tin pavement below.

This sporting club will also embrace hunting and fishing among its sports of fun and frolic. We are reliably informed that on Monday afternoon Mr. \\*. M. Palmer shot and seriously wounded a negro man, Charlie Burke, who walked into the field where Mr. Palmer was and cursed and abused Mr. Palmer most outrageously and shamefully. We have not heard what the provocation was that angered Burke so much as to make him take such a risk as to curse Mr. Palmer. * Dr. L. J. Wood, ;i prominent practicing physician of Kclton, called at our office Wednesday and renewed his subscription. He brought two very fine speeiuicns of cabbage heads grown by him on his truck farm, lit: lias two acres of these fine cabbage, the rows arc four feet apart and lietween each row he planted cotton which is now growing with three and four leaves. He expects to make three lmlcs of cotton on the two acres. His cabbage will doubtless sell for as much as his cotton at the present price of each. n Buy Fo r.....FROM n Mills Departi / equal to any sold in Uhlon, p Flour, per barret.'. > y.- ^ VV* ? per-box 7 bars for. y, 3 cans for >r : bushel ational Biscuit Com You can get what y f you buy Tobacco y< prices.

Our American nconlc. > K?1 ?, in the last few decades, have de, vclopcd a tendency, which ultit matcly threatens to ruin the na" tion. For years it has been said 11 that the deity adored by Americans is "the almighty dollar," and, to' y our shame, we cannot but acknowl- j r edge the truth of the fling. As a ' people we adore money, and the| great social qualification apparently , i> is money. The great question, in every direction, seems not to be? who is he, but how much has he. t Thus a false standard of cxccl15 lency is created, thus all past . maxims arc set aside, and a new i - people is born, with an entirely un-1 j i worthy ideal. j The Apostle tells us that they i - who desire riches fall into a snare ; and into divers temptations of the J evil one. And no one doubts it ^ who lives with open eyes in our i ' day. 1 Our national wealth is getting to ( Ik? colossal, and individual wealth ( 1 far exceeds the most golden dreams ^ I of the richest Croesus. What looked t I like, and actually was, a compc- j ' tcncc to our fathers, is Ichs than I nothing to us. Princely fortunes are unconcernedly made and lost in y a day, according to the rise and fall v j of the speculative market. Q , There is a system of "frenzied finance" abroad, which whets the appetite of the "quickly get rich" people, till it is a menace and l>c, comes a mania. Men, in whom we . trust, fail us ntt/?rlv ?* a i vyiiiUICIIl . Insurance Companies, through the p . unworthy conduct of their chief jofficers, become a public scandal. t< ; A man like Bigelow, of Milwaukee, ^ , Wis., the pride of his banking-as- ^ ' sociates, last year chosen their \ ! president; a man, whose integrity I] J no one doubted, whose business tl principles seemed of the highest and l i l>est,?suddenly failed in his trust and proved to have robbed the bank, whose president he was, of a mil- y lion and a half of dollars, while his whole liability is perhaps double ^ that amount. Widows and orphans * are among his victims. ? Why did he do it? *. Back of the stage on which this * tragedy was enacted, lies the surging wheat-pit in Chicago and in that maelstrom the man's own fortune disappeared and other fortunes, H entrusted to him, besides. itc r Lesd'i %|| nent Store. 1 ' ' >WH r/ "* Rh| er barrel... $6.10 ^ 5.75 g ................. 3.25 l#g 25c Eg 25c g@ "25c jggj 75c g| ipany's Cakes ^ ou want from ^ >u can't afford_||j ing our Cloth- || j out, we are i nowhere else.

How long will our people continue to walk in the false way; while the straight way of noble purpose and unswerving loyalty to duty, lies invitingly before us! God only knows. But let us not forget that this very spirit, that the same low views of life, that the same gamblingmania destroyed old Rome, and Rome was the symbol of strength. \T-.i ?t- ? i^ui, wiiai a man gets out of life, but what he puts in it; not what a man makes, but what lie does; not the question how rich, but rather that other one how good, how altruistic, how gentle, how developed he is?determines his final plapc in society, in history.?-Christian Observer. Death of an Infant. On Sunday morning, May 7th, ihe death angel knocked at the lome of Mr. J. C. Quinn, on Lyjrand street, West End, and claim* ;d the spirit of J.

HIS ONLY OPPORTUNITY ^ The Ladies' Home Journal tells a of a woman who lectured on the subject of Woman's Rights." She began her talk as follows: "Is there a man in all this audience that has ever done anything to lighten the burden on ; his wife's shouiders? What do you know of woman's work? Is there a man here," she continued, folding her arms, and looking over tne assembly with superb scorn, "that has ever got up in the morning, leaving his tired, worn-out wife to enjoy her slumbers, gone quietly down stairs, made the fire, cooked his own breakfast, sewed the missing buttons on the children's clothes, darned the family stockings, scoured the pots and kettles, cleaned and filled the lamps, and done all this, if necessary, day after day, uncomplainingly? If there be such a man in this audience let him rise up! I should really like to see him!" In the rear of the hall, a mildlooking man in spectacles, in , obedience to the summons timidly j arose. He was the husband of I the eloquent speaker. It was I the first time he had ever had a chance to assert himself. Letter to Power Fuel Co., Union, S. C. l>ear Sirs: Thos. J.
