Headquarters, Department of the
Kiist, prescribing the course in alb
tetics and giving lists of exercises
suitable for military tournaments
ami athletic contests, was prepared
hy an infantry officer for the use of
infantry troops.
It is thought that in this depart?
meut whert the proportion of artil
lery to infantry posts is about fifty
five to eight, more attention should
bu devoted to contests suitable to
artillery troops.
The following are suggest? d for
tho ?se when the subject of the re
vision of this order is under consid
eration, as being peculiarly suitable
for artillery and those in which from
long practice may be expected to
excel :
1. "J'JO yard dash, up a stairway at
ingle of 45 degrees, cadi contestant
to carry one section of cartridge for
i2-inch gun, weight 7" pounds.
2. For teams of two men : To haul
a I,OOO-pound projectile for 12-inch
_?u ii from ground t<> top of ll ag-sta ff,
using a "Triplex" block and chain.
8. For teams of two men : To pro?
iel a mortar truck loaded with one
1,000-pound projectile two hundred

Constables Placed in Pickens County.
Acting upon a report by Chief
State Constable I lammet, Governor
Moy ward recently ordered Mr. Ham
met to agnin place dispensary con
st aides at work in Picketts county.
They will ho paid out of the pro
ceeds of a special levy of a half mill
ill that county. Mr. Hato met also
tonde a report as to Newberry, but
action as to that county lias been
postponed for further investigation.
Mr. Ilnmmet's report is as follows,
addressed to the Governor:
"At your request I paid a visit to
Newberry and Picketts counties last
week, and endeavored to gather such
information ns would enable me to
mak<> to you an impartial report of
the actual situation with reference to
tito enforcement of tho law, which
report I trust will prove satisfactory.
"At Newberry I conferred with n
number of the most prominent peo
ple, both for and against the dispen
sary, ami from a careful review of
what was "old me I am led to believe
that tlie local oflicinls and the bettor
element of the citizens desire the en
forcement of the law, and are en
deavoring to compel it in tho city,
lint at the same time I am forced to
the conclusion that it is being vio
lated in certain parts of tho county
outside of tile town, and I would
recommend that constables be placed
in tin* county where it is necessary
to prevent the trafti'i in whiskey aa
long as it may be deemed advisable.
"From Newberry I went to Diek
ens, where I found about the same
conditions existing, with the excep
tion that I satisfied myself that liquor
is being sold in the towtis as well as
in the country. Here, too, I inter
viewed a number of substantial and
well-posted citizens, eliciting from
them sufficient information t<> war
rant tin? above opinion. I learn that
the distillers are again active, and
that most of the whiskey being used
is blockade.
"In view ol* the above fitcts 1
recommend that constables be placed
in Dickens county where necessary."

Married Despite Difficult Circ (instances.
Kneeling at the bedside of her
sweetheart, whom she believed to be
dying, Miss Elsie Anderson, a promi
nent young society girl of this city,
was secretly married on October 4
to Hubert Hutchinson, says a New
York dispatch.
The ceremony was performed by
the girl's father, tho Kev. Thomas
W. Anderson, and was witnessed
only by the mother of the young
man and one other person.
On September 6 the young man
was taken violently ill in Iiis o til ce
and was taken to St. Luke's Hos-1
pit al, where it was found that he
was suffering from appendicitis, and ,
an operation followed.
Miss Anderson and Mr. Hutchin
son had been engaged for some
months, and at the hospital she was
Constantly in attendance at his bed
side, but ho grow weaker until Dr.
Curtis, the house physician, said that
ho could not recover. When tho
young man was told that he must
die, ht; asked to be married. The
girl knelt at the bedside of her
sweetheart, whom she believed to
he ?lying, and lifted him tenderly in
her arms, while her father pro
nounced tile words that bound them
together for the few hours which the
doctors had declared ho bad to live.
The doctor and nurse had been out
of the room during the ceremony,
and not a hint of what had happened
reached them until yesterday, when
a few intimate friends of the young
couple learned of the wedding.
From the hour of this strange
marriage the young man seemed to
take a new grip on life and, defying
the prophecy of the doctors, began
to gain strength. At the hospital
ist night it was said that tho
0.0,068 for recovery aro good, and
that e no complications set in he
willi able to leave tho institution
and s t on his honeymoon in about
two v? el '. Ho is twenty-two years
