INTERESTING OCCURRENCES OF VARIOUS KINDS IN SOUTH CAROLINA. State News Boiled Down for Quick Reading Pungent Paragraphs About Men and Happenings. * Henrietta Summer, a negro woman, was shot and killed in Newberry county last Wednesday night while riding along the road in a buggy. Drate Bailey, a negro, has been arrested for the crime, he being charged with it by the coroner's jury. Governor Heyward has appointed R. W. Shand, of Columbia, R. M. Cleveland, of Greenville, and Wilson G. Harvey, of Charleston, as a board of pkrdons. This - board is to examine all applications for pardons and make their recommends* tions to the governor. The president, vice president, and cashier of the Columbian Banking and Trust Company of Charleston, which failed last week, have been arrested and bound over to court. The charge is a - . criminal one?that they received deposits knowing the bank was insolvent. The legislature elected an entirely new i 1 board of State dispensary directors. H. H. Evans, chairman of the board, was defeated by J. M. Rawlnison, of Richland, by a vote of 108 to 30. J. B. Wylie, of Chester, and John Black, of Colleton, were effected as the other members jf the board. Towill and Boykin did not offer for re-election. ^ In a short time Lanrens will have a complete system of sewerage, and with the recent improvements made on the water and light plants that city will be pretty well equipped in these respects, pv The sewerage embraces about seven miles and the system will probably be ready to 1' tarn over to the city authorities some P . c ' time next month. The system will cost about $80,000, for which bonds were voted last year. SgSjAt? , ?, / * < On account of the recent investigation - / i^to the affairs of the Carolina Qlass \ * Company, the dispensary investigating committee recommended that the legisla^ ture cancel all outstanding contracts : ; with that company for bottles for the State dispensary. The State board of directors had contracted ahead for about p'l $900,000 worth of bottles. The legislaBSpfl tare cancelled the contract, and new bids * trill be called for when bottles are needed. ? * * ? Watson Stays. nATmrBT> Va)i 1Q?Tmmicrration r.om i'\ . Wi4W?m,fii Aw* AV? m?w,.?

After wear * lag oat his welcome m ms own ueiguuui' hood he thought he would visit an old ' " Quaker friend some twenty miles distant. > * ' v /v.On his arrival he was cordially received by the Quaker, who, thinking the visitor had taken much pains to come so far to see him, treated him with a great ' deal of attention and politeness for several days. As the visitor showed no signs of leavt 1 ing, the Quaker became uneasy, but bore ? It with patience until the eighth day, when he said to him: j "My friend I am afraid thee will never come again." "Oh, yes I shall," said the visitor. "I ir have enjoyed my visit very much, and ft^all certainly come again." j "But," said the Quaker, "if thee will never leave how can thee come again?" \ A In Maine Also. afr. Child labor in the mills and workshops is being discussed somewhat, growing out of the fact that the State Inspector Morrison, of Biddeford, takes the law serioualy, and thinks it was meant to be enforced. He has been looking abont. In a Biddeford mill he fonnd seventy-five children, two-thirds of them under the age limit of the law, in one of the Lewiston mills he found and turned out forty?hree. The parents had sworn falsely and given certificates of age subjecting them under the law to severe penalties.? Bridgton (Me.) News. LUCKIEST MAN IN ARKANSAS.

Once upon a time a man married a woman who had inherited $500 from a grandfather. This was all she ever received, but the man never got credit for his efforts the rest of his life. He built a new store. "Did it with his wife's money," the neighbors said. The home was made over and enlarged. "His wife's money did it," was the only comment. The little measly $500 she inherited was given the credit for everything he did during life, and when he died and bis widow put up a monument with his life insurance, "Her money paid for that," was said again. But this is what her money really went for: During her engagement she bought herself a $350 piano and a $150 ring and in a few weeks lost the riDg, and there was always some regret that she didn't also lose the piano. Both Were Barbarous. Prof. Starr, the famous ethnologist, was in his humorous and whimsical way accusing women of barbarism, says the New York Tribune. "And she is not only barbarous?she is illogical and inconsistent," he exclaimed. "I was walking in the country one day with a voung woman. In a grove we came upon a boy about to shin up a tree. There was a nest in the tree, and from a certain angle it was possible to see in it three eggs. "You wicked little boy," said my companion, "are you going up there to rob that nest?" "I am," the boy replied coolly. "How can you?" she exclaimed, "Think how the mother will grieve over the loss of her eggs." "Oh, she won't care," said the boy 'She's up there in your hat." Farmer Stabbed to Heath. Lamar, Feb. 17.?Charlie Emerson, a farmer living about four miles from this place, was stabbed to death to-night about 8 o'clock in front of the store of Dr. J. F. Watson. Who did the cutting is not known, bat two negroes suspected of some knowledge of the affair are in the keeping of the officers. Emerson bad been a few minutes before in a nearby store, in which he, with Jim Wadford and Bowman Scarborough, had some trouble,Emerson having been drinking. He left this store and while walk ing along in-front of Dr. Watson's arng store was stabbed to the heart. Emerson never spoke a word, though his little siryear-old boy called to him piteously to speak. The knife with which it is supposed Emerson was killed was found by his side. N t Henry Miles and his son, colored, were arrested and are being held pending the investigation. Emerson leaves a wife and two children. Bay a Farm. Buy a farm, young man. No matter how small it may be; buy a farm and prepare it so thkt your land will provide you a living. Twenty years from now the man who owns his farm will be independent and will have at his command the means of a livelihood. The expansion of manufacturers cannot go on forever and there will come a day in this country, as there has in others, when the supply will exceed the demand and the only absolutely sure occupation will be farming. Buy a farm while one may be had.-r American Farmer. Honesty is Best in Business. A liar may succeed for a time, but eventually he will pay the piper. Such a lesson is conveyed in the following in acnueu hi cic^i <*u wiwuiv ..vu Bamberg to this place to haul passengers and freight. Let the good work go on. Miss Rebecca Jenny is visiting Mrs. T. D. Jones this week. An Iowa editor has handed out the knockers a hard jolt in the following: "The sorriest man on earth is the fellow who will sit around and cuss his own town. If I lived astride of the north pole I would call it home and be ready to boost it up. If I could not say anything nice about it I would say that my ice bill didn't come high. I would not stay in a town I had to cuss, not while the world is as big as it is now." . ? . . .n- ' - ? . . * t>- ' *. cident told by Dr. Morden, ana repeated in the Baptist Commonwealth: "If I hire yon," said a Detroit grocer to a boy who had applied for work, "I suppose you will do what I tell you!" "Yes, sir." "If I told you to say the sugar was high grade, when it was low, what would you say?" Hesitatingly the boy said, "I'd say it." "If I told you to say Mie coffee was pure, when it had beans in it. what would you say?" Td say it." The merchant was nonplussed. "How much would you work for?" he inquired very seriously. "One hundred dollars a week," the boy answered in a business-like tone. "One hundred dollars a week!" responded the grocery man. "With percentage after the first two weekssaid the boy coolly. "You see," he went on, "first-class liars come high, and if you need them in your business you'll have to pay the price, but I'll tell the truth and work for three dollars a week." The boy caught the grocer at his own game and got the job. A HEALING GOSPEL. Rev. J. C. Warren, pastor of Sharon Baptist church, Belair, Ga., says of Electric Bitters: "It's a Godsend to mankind. It cured me of lame back, stiff joints, and complete physical collapse. I was so weak it took me half an hour to walk a mile. Two bottles of .Electric fitters have made me so strong I have just walked three miles in 50 minutes and feel like walking three more. It's made a new man of me."

Denmark, February 20, 1906.?Things are very quiet in our little city ]ust now except the ring of the carpenter's hammer and saw, the hauling of fertilizers, the song of the darkies on the nearby farms, and the birds in the gradually budding trees. These beautiful sunny days makes' one feel and know that spring, gentle spring is near at hand. Our much beloved pastor, Rev. Mr. Traywick, delivered a most interesting and instructive sermon to a large congregation at the Methodist church on Sunday last. Bro. Traywick is a deep thinker and his sermons are always interesting and instructive and ths prospects of much needed good in ou:* county looks bright. Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Patrick lost their infant on last week. The little one has been quite sick for some time and the end came on Thursday last at 12 o'clock. To the bereaved ones we extend our heartfelt sympathy. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Carroll went up to Langley last week to visit the lattePs sister, Mrs. Holman, who was stricken with paralysis.

Arledge is rapidly pushing the Goza & Gillam cottage at West End to a completion, while contractor Hope is doing likewise with the ice factory and several new dwellings he has under way. , There is prospects of six new store buildings to go up in our city in the near future. The material is now being placed for some of the work. This shows that Denmark will soon be the coming town of lower South Carolina. Let the good work ato on.

A few bales of cotton changed hands last week. Some was badly damaged by letting it stay on the ground without cover. Mr. J. D. Padgett went to Walterboro on Saturday to attend to some business. The farmers are anxious about their fertilizers. It seems as if they can't get enough this year. We heard of one farmer who has hauled home fifty tons and hasn't a hand hired up to now. Lumber is in good demand, but our mill men can't furnish anything like, the quantity they could if they could get a force of hands to work. Nearly all the mill men are paying one dollar and upwards for hands and then can't get them. Mr. J. M. Jennings has finished an artesian well for Mr. 0. P. Folk. Mr. Folk has very a good flow, and has it piped all over his dwelling. ? - ~ ? i j. 1 r>__ Uol. (J. Jiiornarui weui iu Dauiuci^ iu? day on business.

Id.?Jesse Bash shot and killed James W. Israel in a field on the lands of Mr. Berry Cadd about five miles beyond the city near Whitney this morning. It was the result of a serious family trouble. Last night the daughter of Bush, about 14 years of age, gave birth to a child. It is said that Israel was accused of being its father. The Bushes lived near Lolo, but last year they lived on the Cudd place, not far from Israel's house. Seeing Israel in a field working this morning, Bush arm* ed with a shotgun and a pistol, approached him and fired three times, twice with the gun and once with the pistol. The gunshot wounds killed Israel. At the time Israel h?d a hoe in his hands working but when commanded to throw up his hands he dropped the hoe. The coroner's inquest was held this afternoon, the verdict being that deceased came to his death from a gunshot wound, the gun being in the hands of Jesse Bush. Immediately after the killing this morning, Bush came to the city and dalivered himself to the sheriff. He is in the county jail. Israel is survived by a wife and two children. He was recently indicted in the magistrate's court for hugging and kissing the wife of his brother-in-law against her consent. The case was compromised. THE YELLOW FEVER GERM has recently been discovered. It bears a close resemblance to the malaria germ. To free the system from disease germs, the most effective remedy is Dr. King's New Life Pills.

Columbia, Feb. 19.?An erroneous impression prevails in many parts of the State that the dispensary investigating committee has concluded its labors so far as taking testimony is concerned. On the rtAnf fo vrf f Kq tr? not lmnnftont Otlll intof ksKJ LlLl CkL J j |iUC LLXKJO b lUi^UlVOUV WUU iU ?V* ~ esting hearings are yet to come, and the fireworks will open up from these in about two weeks. The "best" part of the show has been reserved for the last. The Richland distillery matter is yet to be gone into and the ex-members of the board of directors are to be put on the stand, and the "Newberry situation" is _ again to be presented to the committee. Representative Lyon and Senator Christensen, who have "borne the burden and heat of day" in this committee work and have dragged up a mass of evidence and presented with consummate skill and ability, are men of unflinching courage, physical and moral, as well as men of brains and great energy and zeal. It was not their fault that the facts were not brought out as to whether material prosperity has blessed the members of the board as reward for managing the great moral institution. The threats which were made on the floor of the Supreme Court room the morning the Newberry witnesses were to testify only sharpened their desire to do their duty by their State. "All of these matters are coming out," said a member of the investigation, "if certain members of that committee have to take the responsibility individually. The findings of the sab-committee will be made public whether they are allowed to come out before the committee or not, if members of that committee have to go down to their jeans and pay for the advertising space." The March Delineator. In the March number The Delineator has fallen under the spell of romance which the recent marriage of the presi- i dent's daughter evoked, and presents as its leading feature an article on "The Brides of the White House," illustrated with a handsome portrait of Miss Roosevelt never before published. The fictionof the number includes a short story by Mary Stewart Cutting, a clever study of child life by Virginia Woodward Cloud, I and the continuation of "The President of Quex," Holen M. Winslow's interestesting club story. Viola Allen, the p^oular young actress, who recently married a southern millionaire, writes of Shakespeare's heroines from the point of view of one who ha 3 personated many of them | with great success. Dr. Murray concludes her series on "The Rights of the Child" with a paper on growth and development; and a unique feature beginning in this number is "Houses by Correspondence," the first being The Doctor's House. Stories and pastimes are supplied for the amusement of children, and in the other departments many topics of interest and value to the home are treated. Fashion of course, plays a large part in this number, and the newest styles are illustrated and described in detail.

It appears that he had three j sweethearts, either of whom he loved | well enough to marry. But he was deterred from becoming a Benedict through fear that the two sweethearts who must necessarily have been disappointed would bring suits for breach of promise. So he remained a bachelor, and at his death bequeathed to each of the three the sum of $10,000. " ' ' v: V ^ &&&?&*?iv* THEIR CRYSTAL WEDDING. Mr. and Mrs. C. J. S. Brooker Entertain their Friends Upon the Fifteenth Anniversary of their Marriage. One of the most prominent social events of the season was the "crystal m wedding' celebrated by Mr. and Mrs. 0. J. S. Brooker, at their home on Railroad Avenue, last Thursday evening. The re? ception room and parlors were beautifully decorated with trailing bamboo, carnations and evergreens. The guests were received by Mr. and Mrs. Brooker, and Mesdames W. D. Rhoad and Jane Rice, and were ushered into the parlors, where they viewed the ' fine collection of cut glass, which spoke stronger than words the great popularity of the host and hostess. At 10 o'clock the guests were invited into the dining room, "where a sumptuous dinner wan served. At each of the plates was a mend ^ card, on which were the photographs of . Mr. and Mrs. Brooker, and burning on the tables were fifteen candles, representing fifteen years of happy married life. The menu as served was: Deviled Crabs. Olives. Pickles. Celery. , i| Carolina Turkey. Ham. Buttered Kaiser Bread Sticks. > Cranberry Sauce. Chicken Salad. Waldorf Salad, Coffee. Chocolate. -X" Punch. Champagne. White Crystal Fruit Cake. Black Fruit Cake. Pound Cake. Angel Food. One of the most interesting scenes of the evening came just after the last toast had been given, when Mr. H. D. Calhoun introduced the Hon. John R Bellinger, who in a few appropriate words present* ed to the bride of fifteen years a magnificent diamond ring, the gift of the groom. After the presentation of the ring the party assembled in the parlors, where the : -M evening was spent enjoyably in a tasting contest. The first prize, a cut glass knife and fork holder, was presented to Mrs. I. H. Morris, of Augusta; Mr. Ben Hill Cave, of Barnwell, receiving the booby prize, a vase of carnations. One of the features of the evening and one enjoyed by all were songs sang by Mrs. Henry Seigling, of Charleston, and Mrs. William Koger.

Did you ever see a lot of nine-spot men who had it in for a business man and did not know why? Ever hear the gang curse ; -p and berate a home man who had made a success of what he undertook while they have been chewing and spitting and lush: ing at the same old job they monkeyed with fifteen years ago? Ever see a man who gloried in another's success and take a straggler by the hand and say: 'Tin glad to see you succeed?" Ever see any of these things? Of course you have.' You see them every day. Then there are dozens t>f reptilians who will greet you with a smile and stab you in the back because you attend to your business and succeed. Whether they can do as well or not, there are always plenty of the venomous knockers who are so filled with envy and jealousy that they can't be decent when some one else wins. They fight you and lie about you for no other . reason, than to tear you down. In short no one has described them any better than Shakespeare has when he said: llVrtt.
