PISTOLS IN CAROLINA.
Legislator to Propose Prohibition of
Hip Pockets in Trousers.


Hip Pockets in Trousers.
Columbia, S. c., Dec. 2S.-Mr. Joseph A.
Mccullough member of the House of
Representatives from Greenville, is going
to try to stop the killings in South Carroll
ma by introducing a kind of dress reform.
He has prepared a bill that will doubtless
be one of many on the same subject to
be introduced in the legislature, to prevent
carrying of concealed weapons. The bill
makes it unlawful to wear what is known
as a nip pocket" in the rear of trousers
or coat and fixes the minimum penalty
for the violation of the law at six months
Imprisonment and 800 fine.
The bill also provides that If for any
reason a person wishes to carry a pistol
he shall apply to the clerk of court, who
if he concludes the reasons given by the
applicant sufficient, shall grant him per-
mission to carry deadly weapon. The
clerk of the court will also supply the
said person with badge, which shall be
worn on the outside of the lapel of the
coat or in some other conspicuous place
Mr. Mccullough is one of the strong
members from the up country, and is ex-
pected to receive strong support for his
measure.

ROPES OF HUMAN HAIR.
One of Them Kept In the Great Mu-
scum of the Smithsonian Institu-


ton.
From the New York Times.
In the thirteenth year of Meiji QSSO) Hi
ramatZ Rel, high priest of Japan and chief
dignitary at the Temple Hon-zan, which
is the principal temple in the Japanese en-
pire, decided to rebuild a portion of the
Hong wan-ji temple at Kioto, and after
the manner of priests and other religious
leaders in all countries, called upon the
faithful to aid in the enterprise
Those to whom he and his subordinate
priests ministered, being devout Bud
dhists gave of that which they had Many
gave gold and silver, and others which to
Americans will seem strange, gave of
the hair of their heads
Immense quantities of hair were given.
They were sent to Iiramatz Rel from
eight provinces of Japan, and were con-
sidered the most sacred of all the gifts
that were received for the construction of
the temple, it being a great sacrifice for
a follower of Buddha to part with his
or her hair. Under the direction of the
Buddhist priests these gifts of hair were
made into ropes-ropes that could lift the
heaviest timpers that were used in the
restoration of the temple. So great was
the aggregate quantity of hair contribute
ed by the faithful that fifty-three long
lines of ropes were made Of il. These
ropes ana lney Deen placed end 10 end
would have measured 1872 feet, and their
combined weight was 23,517 pounds
During the rebuilding of the Hon-gwan-
il temple many foreigners tried to get
portions of these hair ropes but it was
not until 1890 that the priests could be pre-
vailed upon to part with any portion of
these curious yet sacred instruments
which they were using in the reconstruc-
ton of their temple, and then only would
they part with a portion of one of the
ropes as a gift to the American people.
When the priests of the Temple Hon
gwan-ji were asked for piece of one of the
ropes they refused to part with it, fearing
that it would be profaned by being in the
hands of unbelieYers, but when Hiramatz
Rel was asked for 1t and was tod that it
would be received by the American nation
al an especial gift, and. as such. kept in
its great museum, the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition, he gave a piece of one of the old
ropes to the people Of the United States
The piece of rope was sent to this coun-
try as quickly as possible after 1t had been
prepared for shipment, and is now in
Washington. How many thousands of
hairs there are i'm It no one knows, and
how many millions Upon millions of hairs
there were in the original 23,517 pounds of
rope no one can guess

NO FAITH CURE
ABOUT sTUART's DYSPEPSIA TAB
LETS.
They Cure stomach Troubles and In
digestion Anyway, whether You
Have Faith in Them or Not.

They Cure stomach Troubles and In
digestion Anyway, Whether You
Have Faith in Them or Not.
All physicians agree that the element of
faith has great deal TO do in the cure of
disease.
Firm belief and confidence In a family
physician or the same confidence and faith
in a patent medicine have produced re-
markable cures in all ages.
Tfis is especially true in nervous troub-
les, and no field offers so prolific harvest
for the quack and charltan as the diseases
arising from weak or run down nervous
system.
Nevertheless, the most common of all
diseases, indigestion and stomach troubles,
which in turn cause nervous diseases,
heart troubles, consumption and loss of
flesh, requires something besides faith to
cure.
Mere faith will not digest your food for
you, will not give you an appetite. will not
increase your flesh and strengthen your
nerves and heart but Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets will do these things, because they
are composed OF the elements of digestion,
they contain the juices acids and pep
tones necessary to the digestion and as
similatlon of all wholesome food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
food IL placed in jar or bottle IN water
heated to 9S degrees, and they will do it
much more effectively when taken into the
stomach after meals, whether you have
faith that they will or not.
They invigorate the stomach, make pure
blood and strong nerves. in the only way
that nature can do it, and that is, from
plenty of wholesome food well digested.
IL is not what We eat, but what we digest
that does us good.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
druggists at 50 cents for full sized package
