Lace and Tuile Bonnets.

French laces initiating real thread
laces are used for making entire bon
nets, and for partly trimming others.
Wide scarfs or barbes of lace are
doubled and have the edges gathered
together across the top. and the closed
part then forms the crown. while the
lower edges are fulled in, and covered
with bandeau of jet in which are
many pendent beads. This bandean
edges the front also, and flowers with
loops of velvet or of watered ribbon
form the high trimming, and the strings.
match the ribbon loops. Poppy red

make stylish contrast in such bon
nets. For instance, red tulle, forms
the lengthwise puffs of a bonnet,
mounted on transparent foundation
of wires, bordered with jet drop trim
ming, and finished on top with Jet
butterfly of mammoth size resting on a
lace bow; thestrings are poppy red vel

bonnets are trimmed in front with
puffJ of French Grape of the brilliant
coquelcot red, and still others have
black piece-lace mounted ON red

ribbons are also used ON black lace
bonnets by fashionable French MILL
ners. Gilt galloon in many loops is
laid over the brim of black lace bon

The Vote-Buying Evil,

The statement is very generally made
that at the election in this county on
Wednesday the votes of the negroes were
freely purchased. While 1t would
be difficult, perhaps, to get evidence to
support this statement, there are very
few, doubtless, who do not believe it.
Assuming that it is true, does it not pre-
sent a subject which ought to arrest the
attention and command the earnest con-
sideration of every citizen who feels an
interest in the welfare OF this community.
Taking a wider view of the matter,
do not thinking men all over the South
see in this readiness of the negroes to
sell their votes an evil that justihes
feeling of uneasiness and even alarm for
the future? 1t must not be forgotten that
a very large proportion Of our population
is negroes. In many communities and in
several of the States the negroes are in
the majority. Owing to their want of
education and lack of intelligence there
is no prospect that they will be influenced
soon in casting their ballots by desire
to choose those who are best qualified to
become public servants. 4 few dollars
seem to them to be far more desirable
than good officials or good government.
They will, therefore, vote for those who
will pay them the most. And who are
those who will pay them the most? Not
the honest candidates-those who intend
to serve the public honestly and faith
fully. The purchasers in the main Will be
those who expect to make Legitimate
incomes out of their offices, or who have
selfish ends IN view. A man with money
and some white following will be able, by
purchasing the negro votes, to secure
almost any office to which he may aspire.
The consequence will be that those best
qualified to serve the public will be
crowded out of the offices. The
officials will be those who care very
little for the prosperity of their
cities, counties or States. They will call
around them those who are Influenced by
similar motives. Is it not easy to see
how deplOrable the condition OF affairs
will be under such circumstances? 1t
may be said, and with truth, that votes
have been purchased in every part of the
country since the foundation of the cOun-
try. 1t must be remembered. however,
that the percentage of purchasable voters
in any Northern State is extremely small
as compared to the percentage in any
one of the Southern States, and the
evils to be apprehended in Northern States
from this source, therefore, are proper
tiOnaIly less. Now is the time to strike
at this vote-buying eyil-while it is in It's
infancy If it is let alone the time may
not be distant when it will reach giant
proportions, and will be beyond the reach
Of all ordinary remedies. AT the present
stage of the evil, even men with honest
purposes may be induced to cOuntenance
it rather than submit to be defeated
bv purchased votes; but if the evil is al
lowed to flourish, men of good intentions
will stand no chance whatever for getting
an Office.

\ WEDDING COAT made by Andrew Johnson
will be shown in the Tennessee exhibit at the
New Orleans exhibition. The coat was made
in Johnson's little tailor shop in Greenville,
Tenn, in 1888 or 1899, for Mr.. II. T. Price of
that town. The garment is made of the best
navy blue cloth, cut in the Old-fashOned
''claw-hammer" style. The collar and lapels
are very broad, and there are five large but
tonhOles on each side. When the coat was
made there were twelve large brass buttons
five on each side and two behind, besides the
small ones on the cuffs of the sleeves. All the
buttons are now missing except two on the
right breast. With the exception Of the loss
of the buttons, the coat is in good state of
preservation. None Of the seams ever ripped,
and there is not hole worn in the cloth.

The result of the election in this county
appears to be satisfactory. 1t certainly
ought to be. Those chosen to fill the
offices are competent and will no doubt
discharge their official duties faithfully
and satisfactorily. Nearly all of them
have been tried in the positions to which
they have been chosen and have not been
found wanting. The people, therefore,
have every reason to think that the
interests of the county will be carefully
cared for in their hands. Their fitness
was one of the reasons, perhaps, that con-
triDuted largely to their success. ROta-
ton in office may have its advantages,
but when an officer is capable, honest and
conscientious the people cannot do better
than to retain him in Office if they can.
That feeling seems TO have influenced a
good many when casting their votes on
Wednesday. All things considered, the
people of Chatham county have reason to
congratulate themselves on the result of
their election

PennsyIvania's Riches.

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, who was promi-
nently placed before the public few
days ago as an advocate of sOcialistic
ideas, has an article in the last number
Of Mac uiiIdH'S Magazine that gives an
idea Of how rapidly fortunes were made
IN Pennsylvania in the early days of the
Oil excitement in that State.
About % years ago he and few friends
visited what was then beginning to be
known as the famous StOey oil producing
farm on oil creek. The well was yielding
a great deal of oil, much of which was
being wasted because there were no ia
cilities worth mentioning for getting it to
market. Mr.. Carnegie and his friends
made an offer of 1000 for the farm, and
it was accepted. They Immediately con-
structed a basin capable of holding
100. 600 barrels of oil and soon had their
basin full. Although a great deal Gfthe oil
was lost, the well paid, in dilidends,
$1,000, 900 in one year, and the value Of
the farm rose to $5,OO0.OO0.
Mr.. Carnegie says that before the oil
excitement began the oil was gathered

up from the surface Of Oil creek and sold
as Seneca oil, 1.-THE Great Indian Remedy"
and was warranted to cure about every
i'll to which flesh is liable. 1t was readily
sold at 81 a bottle. When oil got to be
worth 81 a barrel, ''The Great Indian
Remedy ceased to be a much sought
after medicine. What better illustration
is there than this, that many of the medl-
cInes that are alleged to have remark
able curative virtues are wholly worth
less. Mr.. Carnegie gives a very in
teresting account Of the use of gas in
the Pittsburg furnaces as fuel instead OF
coal. This gas, as is we'll known, is the
natural product of the earth and the
supply may last for centuries. 1t is not
only cheaper than coal, but is in every
respect more desirable.
