eeouired of a Doctor.

DR.. W. T. Ner says: Of all the profes-
sions, | think the medical must be the.
most exacting. No one has any idea of
the amount Of work a physician of any
practice must perform, and the strain he
must be under. In the first place, he
never knows whether lie is going to get
i nights sleep or not, unless he simply
makes rule that he will not take it
unless it is very urgent. Then, when he
gets up in the morning, he finds half
dozen or two dozen calls, from all direc-
tious, which, in large city Ike ST.
Louis, means great deal Of travelling.
Starting out on these, he returns for
Office hours, works without spare min
Ute there, and then is out again. Then
comes dinner, more Office hours, another
round Of calls, and night Office hours
again, the day being filed up from early
until late without allowing q moments
pleasure, CT even relaxation. Such a
physician should never invite company.
to entertain them, unless it is of friends
who will not feel bad il they have to
dine alone.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Beauty of American women,s Feet.

American women have made Paris
their second home for so long that there
is little to be said about their demeanor
here. They are great favorites with
dressmakers, and especially admired for
their little feet. The French shoemakers
say that they shave down the lasts Of
even the Spanish women to fit the beau
tiful American foot. A well arched foot
looks better in boot than in shoe, and
it is sad to see foct crumpled up in a
tight slipper and too high heel, a per-
feet piece of Chinese deformity. To do
Americans justice, they do not have to
squeeze their feet to make them look
small, and the only advice to give them
i, to so to England for thoir walking
shoes and to learn to walk more.-Paris

A Woman with q Heart Of Stone.

James Redmond, (. farmer Of Lake 3 lu-
port, is dying from the treatment he re-
ceived from neighbors on Christmas Eve.
He was driving home in snow-storm and
the temperature was twenty degrees below
zero. Half way to BEAUFORT he accident
ally ran into another sleigh containing two
men, who got out and beat Redmond with
an iron bar till he was insens!bs Then
they put him into his sleigh and Stated the
horse OFF. Redmond regained conscious
ness few hours before daylight and found
himself before farm house. He dragged
himself to the doo~ and knocked The
woman of the house allowed him to enter
the hallway, but, seeing that he was cov-
cred with blood and dirt, turned him out,
saying that she didn't want her floors
soiled.-Quebec Special.

That Ended It.

Some of the greatest orators the world
ever produced have shone their brightest
when some incident or impertinent ques-
ton drew them out The eloquent and
erratic Tom Marshall, of Kentucky, was
once delivering an address in Buffalo,
N. Y. AS was usual, he began in low
tone of voice. Some one in the rear Of
the hall yelled Louder, louder" Sc eral
times. Marshall stood the interruption
some time, then advancing to the front
of the platform, he raised his impressive
voice to tone that everybody could
hear, and said: "When the last great day
comes and the angel Gabriel blows his
trump to waken the quick and the dead,
t,.en, l suppose, some id cuss from
Buffalo win yell louder, louder" That
ended further interuption.-St. Louis

THE SIN OF OMISSION.
It isn't the thing you do. dear,
It's the thing you leave undone
U7,;,h ,wi.oo va, q I;t ~ hoo - nha

It isn't the thing you do. dear,
It's the thing you leave undone
Which gives you bit Of teartache
At the setting of the sun:
The tender word forgotten,
The letter you did not write.
The flower you might have sent, dear.
Are your haunting ghosts tonight.
Tho stone you might have lifted
Out Of the brothers way,
The bit Of hearthstone counsel
You were hurried too much to say;
The loving touch Of the hand, dear,
The gentle and winsome tone
Thu. you had no time or thought for,
With troubles enough Of your own.
These little acts of kindness,
So easily out Of mind,
These chances to be angels
Which even mortals find
They come in night and silence.
Each child reprc1chful wrath,
When hope is faint and tagging,
And blight has dropped on faith
For life is all too short, dear,
And sorrow is all too great,
To suffer our slow compassion
That tarries until too late;
And it's not the thing you do, dear.
It's the thing you leave undone
Which gives you the bitter heartache

Mems Dress Don't Suit Her.

The Anglo-Indian official swelters in
scarlet cloth under tropic sun; the jap
anese wears a tall hat under his tulip
trees; the farmer Of Illinois cuts his
wheat in a rusty surtout; the Italian
peasant perspires in a cheap ulster; the
English statesman snores under black
chimney pot; they are all as Ill clad and
as thoroughly uncomfortable as men can
be. Who will teach them the supreme
truth that the man alone is we'll dressed
who is dressed in keeping with his sta
ton and his occupation, and that while
male dress IS as senseless, as ugly and
useless as it at present is, it is absurd to
pirate Of the taste or to boast of the wis
dom of ciyiization?-Ouida.

The Wrong Woman.

There is legend told in great York
shire town to the effect that, after sew
eral couples had been simultaneously
married at the parish church one bride
found her bridegroom walking away
with another lady on his arm. The
curate, summoned to her aid, remon-
strated with the defaulter and besought
him to take his proper partner. Nay"
said he, law was married to this 'un,
and | loike her t. best" There is no
reason why this should not be sober
truth.-The Cornhill Magazine.

questioned by her angry father, whom he
suspected of knowing more about the af-
fair than she was willing to admit. "Were
you aware that your sister was going to

she never told me anything about it."
Ibid you suspect anything?" Nothing
whatever" replied the girl did she not
make some preparation for the escapadeY
'Not that l knew anything about" "Did

A Real LiTe Zulu.

In San Diego there is a man who is
supposed to be a full blooded Zulu and
who goes by the name Of Stephens be-
cause no one can pronounce his Zulu
name He says he was a member Of
Cetewayo's body guard during the Zulu
war, and was in the skirmish in which
Prince Napoleon was killed. He shows
numerous scars and relics in proof Of his
assertion and talks hideous jargon that
may be Zulu or Choctaw. for all any

White Caps in spartsnburg.

RAvESSA. fan. 23.-On last Monday
night colored man named Wallace Little
John, residing in this vicinity, was visited
at his house by party of masked men,
who threw bag over his head to stife his
cries for help, and dragging him a consid-
erable distance, administered cruel whip
ping. There is no clue as yet as TO who
the parties are, although sharp lookout is
being kept for them. Littlejoln states that
the party consisted of five or six men, all
of whom were closely masked and armed
with pistols. Litttlejohn is weak minded

GOVERNOR STONE.
Jackson Commonwealth.

Jackson Commonwealth.
Governor Stone is not man of
many words, but what he says is
full of meaning, directly to the point
and emphasized by implicitly and
sincerity. From the reports of his
speeches he Is expressing views in
respect to public questions and
affairs that must bring useful and
healthy results to the state. Every
body of intelligence and genuine
public spirit must perceive that the
prosperity, morality, progress and
safety of this commonwealth de-
pend upon an administration of law
and order, and the conditions of
repose aud tranquility. Any other
condition is incompatible with the
public welfare.
Governor Stone is reported in his
Macon speech TO have called atten-
tion to that clause of the democratic
platform which pledges the equal
protection of the law to all citizens
without regard to race or color.
The laws Of the state fairly and
justly enforced by the courts and
the executive, armed with all powers
that pertain TO these departments Of
government, are adequate to the full
protection of all citizens in the right
to life, liberty and the pursut of
happinoss. There is no place in a
civilized government for mob law.
Ii we are TO retain our private
morality and public virtue We must
do justice and love mercy. There
could not be more stupid mistake
than to suppose that. An administra-
ton founded upon principles oi
justice and the enforcement of law
and order is incompatible with the
safety Of society.
Governor Stones past adminlstla
ton ard present utterances place
him well in front as the representa-
tive of the best thought of the state
| His nomination came directly and
freely from the people and not the
politicians; and the fact that all the
best elements of tho state are back
isehim will add greatly to his eff
cheney and usefulness.

There can be no more conservative
or peace-preserving force in COM
try than a we'll organized and thor
oughly equipped military company.
This fact is very generally apprecia>
ted, and bcnce ahy, reasonable ap-
preparation towards the maintain
ance OF the militia would meet with
very hearty approval. In this con-
nection attention is specially called
to section 20 Of the act OF 1888,
authorizing municipal corporations
OF boards of county supervisors to
provide suitable armorics and drill l
rooms free of expense to the militia
ry companies. In few instances
this has been done, and would be
IN many others if the subject we're
brought before the proper authori-
ties. 1t cannot be doubted, for an
Instance, that the board of supervi-
sOfs Of Kinds county or the city
council Of Jackson would refuse to
provide suitable armory for the
Capitol Light Guaros, who are al
ways ready for any emergency. An
application to tina. effect would be
promptly and generously considered.

WHAT co OPERATION HAS
DONE.

Southern Farm.
Georgia sends greeting to her sis'
ter States and announces:
First. That she is now harvesting
the best crop that ever grew on her
soil.
Second. That this crop was made
20 per cent. cheaper than any crop
since the war,
Third. That her farmers owe 40
per cent. less debt this October than
they ewed year ago.
Fourth. That they will purchase
what they want at rs per cent. bet
ter advantage this year, and sell
their crop at better advantage than
ever before.
For the first of these blessings
they return thanks to the Lord. For
the others they are disposed to thank
the Alliance. Many hold. that the
Lord has been bountiful to us be-
cause the Alliance has been earnest.
and that He helps those that help
themselves. Two effeots of the
Farmers Alliance may b. noted
here.
lst. The educative.and restrain
ing effect. Men cannot league to-
gcther without learning something
of each other. Hundreds of speakers
who have studied thoroughly make
their speeches instructive. have ad-
dressed the Alliance meetings thro'.
ont the state; hundreds of farmers
have gone to great conventions and
meeting. and returning homo have
told their county Alliance what they
have learned-this is the educat,ve
effect. The restraining effect is as
strong when man Is associated with
his noighbors In the resolve to live
cheaper, keep out of debt, and work
hard he is g,ing to keep these
resolutions better than if he were
relying on himself. In many cases
he makes part of the Alliance credit
and has pride in holding up bis end
he knows that fellow members will
review his work, and he Is anxious
to get their good opinion and res
/ pect hence he does many good
things and refrains from many un.
wise things, because he Is under a
common pledge with his neighbors
End. The cooperative effect. The
great city of Atlanta is built by co.
operative effort. The Kimball house
that costs 100000, was built by
little contributions, the largest sub.
scriber gave 81, 900, most of them
averaged q hundred or so dollars.
Atlanta learned the secret that
many mite makes might and
going on this she has built great
city ont Of the bonus OF q poor peo4
pie. The farmers are learning the
magic power of corporation; there
are 10000 Alliance Een in Geor.
gia (; suppose they were to put $5
each into Alliances enterprises. il
would build all tho factories, ex-
changes and warehouses they need.
Suppose they pooled their orders
for goods that would give thcm the
very lowest discount and enablc
10 buy direct from the factories.
The world is going to be moved ID
future by corporation, and that
class 10 wise that learns this lesson
we'll and stands by il earnestly.
