CUTTING AFFRAY.-Mr. William W.
Freeman and MIR. John Entrekin got
into difficulty last week in which
both used their knives. Mr.. Entrekin
was slightly cut in tho abdomen and
Freeman in the hand. We know
nothing about tho origin Of tho diff
Guilty.

Who can calculate the misery and
suffering child has to endure who is
infested with worms? Shriner's In~

pei worms from both children and
adults. Only rs cents bottle.
SHor--Wo arc Informed that Mr..
III. e. Null, of this County, was shot
by his own son during the Christmas
holidays. The ball entered the left
breast near the region of the heart,
but fortunately struck q rib and fol-
lowed it around, preventing, proba-
bly,, instant death. We know moth
ing of tho origin of the trouble. The
last we heard from Mr.. Null was to
the effect that he was doing we'll and
was able to walk about.
Mr.. J. A. Stewart brought to this
office on last Monday morning the
foot of red fox which he killed on
Saturday last. He and others were
out deer driving on Little River in
Oconee County, when the dogs jump
ed tho fox and ran it from about nine
o'clock in tho morning until about an
hour by sun'in the evening, when Mr.
Stewart shot and killed it. He in
forms us that it would have weighed
IL or IA pounds and was tho largest
tox he ever saw.

Some Very Exact Statistics.

A Detroiter has been for the last two
years collecting and arranging statistics
of an odd nature, and if his book is ever
published readers will find nothing dry
about it. He goes right to business on
page one by estimating that the num-
Der of lickings received by the average
boy up to his fourteenth year at 12j.
This includes the spanking process dur
ing infancy.
Out of every 100000 people in this
country 1000 get up cross in the morn
inc, but only hundred or so remain in
that condition very long after breakfast.
Out of $4,000 men only 600 will put
up money on bet The rest will craw-
fish around and finally back water on
their assertions.
Only ten women out of every 500 who
start out on a railroad journey consult
a railroad map or have the least idea Of
the direction they take; 49S worry about
their baggage, 497 are certain they
took the wrong train, 494 wish they had
never started.
The risk of being bitten by a dog is
greatly overeStimated. Out of every
1000 big and little dogs only two care
10 get up a row with the human race,
and those two are ready and willing to
die.
The number of men who can put in q
more pleasant evening down town than
at their own tireside is on the decrease,
and the number of wives who are tax
ing little extra pains to make home
more pleasant than a concert saloon is
on the increase.
Out Of every 1000 men who get mad
and swear they will see a lawyer about
it, only fifteen carry out their intcn-
tionS.
Out of every 1000 women who ride
on street cars only twelve will move
along to offer another woman a chance
to sit down. Nine hundred and ninety
eight of them argue that it is a mans
duty to stand up, even if there is plenty
of room, and the other two are supreme
ly indifferent.
Only one woman in 5000 pays the
first price asked for q bonnet, and only
one milllner in l, 1,000,0 900 expects her to.
The time occupied by the average
man in buying full suit of clothes is
just One-fOurth the time occupied by
the average woman in buying single
pair Of stockmgs.-DctrO Free Press.

Don't Argue.

1t is not easy to remain silent when
others are expressing opinions with
which YOU cannot agree; but never rush
into an argument when in company. A
disputatious person is never a tayorlte'
If YOU do not agree with what Is sald'
it IS best to remain silent. OF course,
if YOU are asked your own opinion, give
it clearly and firmly, and yet in a man
ner that cannot be construed as Often
sive by those holding different views;
and if the matter is one with which you
are only partially Or not at all ac-
quainted, own the fact rather than slay-
ishly follow what another has said. No
one can know everything, and the can
did expression that you are not compe-
tent to Judge in one case will cause your
opinion on other points to have all the
more weight. Some people bristle with
objections like porcupine with quills.
No matter what is mentioned or pro
posed, there comes an objection IN q
moment. Such habit may be almost
unconsciously acquired and INDUCED
in, but it is a very veXatious one.
Should you meet with person OF this
temperament do not attempt to defend
your own views. He would continue
unconvinced; so drop the subject and
turn the conversation into another chan
mel. Be careful, also, that you do not
plunge into personalities Ormake critical
remarks upon the mental shortcomings
or personal defects of others. If you
are thoughtless and inattentive, remarks
which you intended as generalities may
