Already those who have wood
to buy are finding it difficult to
supply their needs. This commod
ity grow6 scarcer and scarcer with
each succeeding winter. Another
reason why it is more aifJQcult to
obtain wood now is that the peo
ple who reside in the country dis
tricts are more prosperous and do
not care lo haul it at the prevail
ing prices, for there is but a sn all
margin of profit after the cost of
hauling it for several miles is
paid.?After the roads are bad, as
they usually are in winter, the
wood problem will be still more
serious and vexatious.

Salt pork is a famous old*
fashioned remedy for con
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork," was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott'sEmulsionisthemod
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
Scott's Emulsion is the most
refined, of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
Scott's Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos
phites in Scott's Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.
A sample will be
sent free upon request,

About twenty four regulation mail
boxes have been purchased and the

From Edgefield tho carrier (who

county are impressed with the
[act that tho members who com
pose them are upon a higher plane
D? spiritual living, more consecra
led aud take a greater interest in
Christian work than during for
mer years. This is due probably
to two causes : First, the bitter
factionalism that was rampart all
over the 6tate not many years ago
has subsided, and secoud, because
the pi ese nt pastors (meauiug no
iefiectiou upon those who served
the churches in the past) are
more active and, withal, more
efficient. Furthermore, the stand
ard of church music hus been rais

churches had such organists as
Mrs. J. M. Shaffer, of McKendree,
Miss Lt na Stevens, of Stevens'
Creek, and Mies Belle Harling, of
Berea, all of whom it has been
the writer's pleasure to hear re
cently. What is needed now is
congregational singing-singing

delightful Halloween Party
On Friday evening last Col.
and Mr6. J. H. Tiilmau compli
mented the faculty of thu Sou'h
Carolina Cu-lCdueational Institute
with a Halloween party. Besides
the youug ladies and young gen
tlemen of the faculty, there were
present Mrs. Emma Auld, Mrs.
Beauregard Timmons, Miss Flor
ence McDonald, Revs. Marvin
Auld and C. E. Burts. The hours
of the evening were passed in
pleasant conversation, fortuue
telling, relating ghost stories with
the lights lowered, biting hagging
apples aud in various other uuique
and uovtl ways. The harrowing
effect produced by the ghost sto
ries was heightened by having a'
large pumpkin, with gruesome
face carved i-n thc side and light
ed candle within, placed upon the
mantel. Rev. Mr. Auld was voted
the honors for being the one rao6t
gifted in the art of relating ghost
stories, rivaling both Nathaui-d
Hawthorne and Washington Ir
ving. A uer adieus were said, with
harrowing scenes yet before their
eyes and awe-producing words
yet. lingering in their ears, the
guests wended their way home

Some Geed Detective Work
Maj. R. S. Andersou is alwayc
on the alert when a fugitive from
(justice or a porpetrato* of some
foul deed is wauted. He it was
who captured ibe Bostick negro
when the latter was in the act
of firing the McCullough house a
few years ago. Maj. Anderson's
latest achievement in. detective
work was iu locating and arrest
ing on Thursday la&t W. L. Hen
derson who shot and killed Mat
Moree in Saluda county several
weeks ago. Acting upon the sug
gestion of Solicitor Thurmond
Govenor Hey ward offered a reward
of $100 for the arrest end delivery
of Henderson to the sheriff of|
Saluda. As soon as the governor's j
proclamation was published Maj.
Anderson set about to locate his
man, which he did with the dex
terity of a Pinkerton detective,
finding him at the home of a
relative in Saluda county. Maj.
Ai.d rson has thew ti us a receipt
for Henderson from the jailor and
sheriff of Saluda county. He is
entitled to ibe reward and will
doubtless receive it promptly
upon presentation of the rec i pt
to I he governor.
