Fashion Notes.

Cheveril gloves show four buttons.
In lingerie the. toby" collarette is
the latest novelty.
Very good black kid are shown with
two wrist buttons.
Buckles will be largely used as a
garniture for dresses.
The latest styles of ladies' bangs are
more curly than wavy.
Navy blue will be favorite color for
street suits the coming winter.
Bronze shoes are to be worn with
evening dresses tho coming season.
Ribbons and belts have taken the
place Of girdles, which became too
common to look pretty.
The elongated basque bodice or coat
is now modified to meet the require
ments of short women.
A new variety of autumn hat is called
the Brighton: that with cleft crown
being SO styled.
Grenadine is the most popular
material of the lady's cravat.
For fastening bonnet strings pins Of
various designs are now employed.
Very many OF the newest skists are
gathered, instead Of the pleatings,
which have had such run. being used.
One Of the new things is rolling
chamois collar in the natural color,
pinked about the edge. With this is
worn gloves to match. Both collar and
gloves can be successfully washed in
cold water.
Tailors will again make a stand in
favor Of short skirts that escape the
ground for all walking dresses. Some
of these shortened skirts have sea ms
piped with velvet, GALLON, or fur, while
others are in the new widened shapes,
less scant at the top than formerly and
with plaits in the back set in clusters
at the belt, or in broad box plat that
flares gradually wider to the foot.
Elastic straps hold the plaits in place.
Cloth holds itown most firmly among
the most favored of all fabrics for Fall
gowns. although the number of new
fabrics are beyond all telling.
Fortunately most ofthe new materials
are lighter in weight than they look
or the wearers would be weighed down
even iu these days of plain skirts.
Corduroy will undoubtedly be made
much use of, and it can be had in dark
as well as in lightshades. These last
win, until the cold weather comet, con
tinue to be much worn.
Henrietta cloth appears in some Of
the most beautiful of the new costumes,
as also fine serge with vague, subdued
figure, and which combines admirably
with silk or velvet.
The useful camel's hair, especially
the rough surfaced aud cheviot,
promises to be among the well favored
fabrics, as we'll as plaids having only .
few rough threads.

Mr.. E. Brooks Sigh, of Chester,
the young man that thought he would
shake the State from centre to cir
cumference by announcing that be
had renounced the political faith of
his fathers .and embraced the doc
trines of national Republicanism,
was one of the principal actors in a
drama in which the cowhide and pis-
tol figured conspicuously. After Mr..
Sligh's letter to the public announc-
ing his change of politics, Editor Jag
gers, of Public Opinion, a temperance
paper, made some comments about
Mr.. Sligh's conduct, which brought
out severe pen-attack from Mr..
Sigh. Monday these young men
met on the streets of Chester, and
Sigh struck Jaggers with a cowhide.
Jaggers threw up his hands and said
that he was not prepared to fight. IN
about fifteen minutes, however, Jag
gers got pistol, and upon seeing
Sigh opened FIRE. Sigh returned the
fire, and the chief of police, thinking
that he was being fred upon, also
commenced firing. Sigh was the
only one hit, one ball striking him in
the face.

A CAUTION FOB YtuNG LADIES
Young ladies Will see an advertise
ment full of promise. Send Stfour
postage stamps" and receive in re-
turn Ga valuable package" Send
three stamps and we will show you
how to make easily from two to five
dollars day, or perhaps ten. For
the first, the return is half dozen lit
tie colored pictures; for the second,
an opportunity to canvass" day and
night for some pretentious and val
ueless book. You have lost your
stamps and your hopeful spirits, and
have nothing to show for them. An
other delusion, and tempting one, is
in the form of an invitation to young
ladies to do lace or crochet work, or
embroidery or decorative painting
cat home" The sshome" feature has
a special charm. The advertisement
is answered, and circular is return
ed, stating that deposit in money is
required, simply because references
canuot be Investigated, and because
of the cost of the material to be for
warded. Just here the tlittle joker"
is found. The young lady sends her
deposit, receives the material, finishes
and returns the work, and is informed
that the whole thing has been done
so badly, that her deposit will not be-
gin to pay for the damage and loss
she has caused. So the young lady
is "beaten" out of her deposit, her
time and toll, and of all those beauti
ful but delusive hopes wherewith she
glorifed the hours of her industry.
Do not let these swindlers get this
easy advantage over you. They lie
in wait in the most unsuspected man
ner. Be careful how you act as de-
coys for these willy hunters. They
are birds Of prey, that make spoil of
household innocence.-Anaerican Ag-
ricuhuulia.

THE STATE TRIUMPHANT.

Chief Justice Fuller, of the United
States Court, has fled his decision in
the matter of the State of South Car
olina against the Coosaw Mining Com
pany. He decides that the charter
granted by the State to the company
expired in 1891, as claimed by the
present administration, and for which
Governor Tillman has been so much
abused and ridiculed.
The chief justice sustains the ad-
ninistration, and says that while the
act Of 1876 did modify the Coosaw
charter, the Legislature did not, by
the act, extend the period of it's dura-
ton. This decision has been con-
CURED in by United States District
Judge Simonton.
The Coosaw Mining Company is a
rich corporation, and will no doubt
appeal to the Supreme Court of the
United States, but we predict a COM
plete victory for the State.

Is Your Alliance on the Decline ?


There should be no such thing as de-
ance spirit pervades the membership, there
aoM be no decline in interest, in member
ship, or in attendance upon the regular
meetings. There is too much Of informa-
ton and mutual benefit to be derived. if the
alliance standard is held firmly and high,
to admit of decline And yet it is not un-
common to hear it said, "My alliance seems
to be on the background. We have drop
ped some of our members; others are irreg-
ular in their attendance" Something is
radically wrong when this is the case, and
it behooves true men to set about to find
out the evil and correct it. Show me such
an alliance, aud I will show you one whose
members have made little or no effort to
help each other, or to help build up the or
der at large. Those who are full-handed.
and can pay cash for what they buy, pull
off from their poor brethren and act inde-
pendeut of them. Their patronage is court
ed by local merchants. snd they think, and
sometimes say, their money isl good enough
alliance for them. When it is proposed to
make note to the bank, these cash men
decline to sign. whose names would secure
the moneyto run the alliance for cash, and
the poorer members are left to shift for
themselves, and to make the best arrange
ments they can for supplies to make their
crops They are driven to the necessity of
giving liens or mortgages on their crops and
stock, which results in the merchant taking
about all that is made at the end of the
year.
Is it any wonder, then, that members be-
come disheartened and gradually drop out
of the Alliance ranks? They see no i'm
provement IN their condition. That beauti-
full dream of brotherly love and help vanish
es. They know they are honest; they are
willing to secure, by lien or mortgage, their
abler brethren for all advances made-and
yet sympathy and aid is withheld. Of
course, there ere some noble exceptions.
We have never yet heard of brother losing
anything by helping a poorer brother,
either by loaning him money or by going
on his note in bank, in order that he might
buy his supplies for cash. We were in
formed few days since, by a brother. that
in his Sub-Alliance there were FIVE brothers.
hard-working, honest men, who had been
for years purchasing their supplies under
liens, paying the usual enormous per cents.
charged. Last year it was agreed by some
two or three members to make note in
bank for enough money to run these FIVE
brothers for cash. They bought supplies
through the exchange. The result was they
out considerably ahead. Let this sort of
experiment be tried in every Sub-Alliance
in the State, and we will see no more falling
of, but a general upbuilding all along the
lines.-G -Gree,svMe advertiser.

The school districts OF this county
are entirely too large and unwieldly
to give best results. No school dis
trict should contain more area than
is embraced in a township, and the
larger and more populous townships
should be divided into two or three
school districts each. Now is a good
time for this division, and we hope
our efficient school commissioner will
give the matter bis attention. If the
districts are small, the trustees will
be nearer together, and can meet Of
tener and with less inconvenience,
and being more nearly and immedi-
ately interested in the welfare of the
schools, they will give them closer at
tention. By all means let US have
the county re-districted.

In the last Sunday Meecs appeared
an article from NJ. F. Tighe, Colum-
bia correspondent of that paper, in
which it was insinuated that the State
was being run with Republican
money. The article brought out re-
ply from the State that was not at all
complimentary to Mr.. Tighe, where
upon Mr., Tighe wrote to Mr.. Con
zales, editor Of the State, that he would
have to fight or apologize, and that he
would not let him dodge, as he did in
the case Of Talbert and Candy, who
had publicly denounced him. Mon
day afternoon Gonzales, armed with
cowhide and accompanied by
friend, met Tighe sitting in front of
the Neecs and Courier bureau Office,
and as Gonzales approached, Tighe
arose, and the former pulled his whip.
Sheriff Rowan was there at the time,
and commanded the peace. Both,
however, made at each other, and
Gonzales struck at Tighe with the
whip. Tighe struck his assailant
several times in the face, and himself
was struck several times, but neither
were seriously hurt. Yesterday
morning these gentlemen were called
up before the mayor, who fined Con
zales, and his friend who accompanied
him to attack Tighe, forty dollars
each, and released Iighe without fine.
The mayor, in the course of the trial,
spoke of two strong men going with
cowhide to attack a man, physically
weaker than either, and said that a
cowhiding was disgrace to which
no South Carolinian would submit.

Thankful for Small Mercies.

Jenny-Oh, Miss Passe, can it be
really true that that horrid brother OF
mine seized you in the conservatory
and absolutely kissed you?
Miss Passe-Yes, it's quite true,
and I feel as if I could sink into the
earth at the thought of Toms out
rageous conduct.
Jenny--It's infamous, and I'll tell
pa as soon as I get home. But what
did you say when the wicked boy
made his daring attempt?
Miss Passe-Say? Well, as near
as [ can remember, I was too much
shocked to say anything, but '.For
what I am about to receive may the
Lord make me truly thankful"

CRITICISM OR PERSECUTION!

About six years ago Col. John J.
Dargan made strong abolitionist
speech in Brooklyn, in which the
course of the South in the late war
was condemned. In the impetuous-
ness OF youth and the love we had
for the memory Of our lost cause so
dear to every Southern heart, we crit
icised and condemned Col. Dargan's
course in thus denounciDg his breth-
ren and native land before a body Of
hot headed abolitionists. In reply to
this Col. Dargan sent US az author
lied copy of his speech, but after
reading it carefully we saw that we
had not been too severe in our criti-
cism and so stated. The following
week communication appeared ap-
proving our criticisms and by no
means complimenting Col. Dargan.
The head lines to this communication
showed our approval of the commu-
nieation. Thus for three weeks in
succession we had something to say
on this subject.
Then Col. Dargan wrote US letter
for which we thank him. He gave us
some advice which has been of great
benefit to US. He wrote US that when
we had aught to say against man,
to say it in such terms as not to have
to keep repeating it, and that to con-
tinue picking away constantly, little
by little, at a man, showed a small
mind, and was unworthy true man.
We did not think the letter sppli-
cable to US, as we had as nearly as we
could already followed his advice, but
we had nothing more to say on the
subject from that day to this, and we
mention it now only to point moral.
Now, will our learned preceptor ac-
cept similar advice from the one he
then advised? Doesn't he think it
would be more manly, and more con-
genial to his readers, to approve or to
condemn the course of a public Off
Ger, and then to let the matter rest9
We sgree with The Freeman that Gov
ernor Tillman should not have taken
that pass, and have so said in our pa
per, but will it do anybody any good
to keep saying so week after week for
months? Doesn't such course sa-
vor very largely of the spirit of perse-
cution?

Important Notice to Cotton. Planters.

Cotton will be low this year, and our peo-
pie must endeavor, in every possible way,
to realize the best prices. The following
circular, from one of the largest cotton buy
ing firms in the South, contains some ad.
vice, and it would be well for our farmers to
read it carefully:
WiAnhgtor, N. C., august lst, 1891.
The accumulation of low grade cotton has
overstocked the markets Of the world, and
this surplus will probably have to be sacri-
feed at extremely low prices. On the other
hand, the supply of good cotton is quite
limited, and there is always a market for
the better grades. It is therefore matter
of the utmost importance to our friends the
planters, that extraordinary care be taken
in handling the next crop. The greatest
precaution should be taken to pick the COT
ton only when it is perfectly dry, avoiding
stained and sandy cotton, which should be
most carefully kept separate from the better
qualities. Then exercise care in setting the
and when packed, see that no gin falls, in
ferior cotton, sand, or water IS permitted IN
the baling. This preparation will insure a
ready sale, at the best current prices while
the neglect of these precautions will proba-
bly, cause loss of from five dollars to ten
dollars per bale to the farmer, upon every
bale he produces.
Hitherto many Of our planters could af-
ford to take the easier course and gin good,
bad and Indifferent cotton together, but as
the indications point to ruiuous prices for
medium and inferior grades next season. it
benooves every cotton producer to exercise
the utmost care in preparing his crop for
market.
We trust that our friends to whom this
letter is addressed, will appreciate our mo-
tive in Offering this advice for their benefit,
and that they will circulate it among their
neighbors ALEXANDER SpEUNT i SoN.
