A LAUNDRY BRUSH.
An Excellent Aid in Washing Flans
nela.

~ n Hs' So
nels.
A rather stiff brush (about four and
half inches long without reckoning the
length of the handle), such as the one
illustrated, is an admirable adjunct to
the laundry outfit. The bands of heavy
sheet of wool and heavy seams or bands
are much more costly scrubbed clean
than rubbed clean on the board. Elan
nels of pure wool, which are not rubbed
but scrubbed with n brush, using water
softened with ammonia or borax, and n
white. non-resinous soap, and all final
ly dried on wooden frame the size and
shape of the garments washed, will not
shrink and grow hard. The rubbing OF
wool flannel on board causes the ulti-
mate spiral fibers of the wool to become
entanglcd and shrink from this cause.
This cannot happen when the tlanncls
are scrubbed with brush, and the dirt
is so much easier removed from the in.
tersticcs of the cloth in this way that
the labor of washing is materially les
sened. When wool is wet and dried the
ultimate spiral fibers draw up unless
the cloth or garment is stretched on n
board frame so this process cannot take
place. Hard water and resinous, brown
soaps cause flannels to be hard. A
brush with convenient handle vii!
cost about ten cents. The garment to
be cleaned may be laid across the rub
bing board. and the more soiled portion
scrubbed more easily when the brush
has n handle.-N. y. Tribune.

Washington, Dec. 22.-Dr. David u.

that the disposition of the property OF

rests with congress and not with the
state department.. He continued:
IT should think that a court similar le
that which was organized after the an

title of innumerable pieces of church prop
erty in New Mexico Arizona and Cali

faction.
.There is no reason whatever for Cath
olics to think that their churchmen Will
not be honorably treated by the United;

reason for anyone to believe that the adj
ministration will not proceed on broad
lines, aiming to form for the Philippine

The democratic party, originally be-
lieved in as little government as possi-
BILE, that is that the individual should
be allowed to work out his own life
problem with the least possible govern
mental interference. Since the popu-
list element has entered so largely into
democracy however. it has become in
fused with socialistic tendencies-we
do not use the term socialistic in any
deprecatOry sense. but in the sense OF
enlarged governmental powers. and the
sinking of the individual. This ten
dency finds expression in sundry planks
favo1lng government ownership of rail
roads etc. 1t is not universal with the
democratic party, however. and these
expressions increase or decrease accord
ingly as the populistic influence has
been much or little felt. In the same
way it may be said that one of the
principles of the democratic party is
the suppression of the negro vote in the
south, not universal dogma of the
party, but one which is accepted and
believed in by large number of demo-
cratic faith, and in fact by the control
ling element of the party.

The democratic party believes in a
tariff for revenue only. This means
tariff placed upon necessary articles
such as tea, coffee. etc, without regard
to conditions of manufacture or pro-
duction in this country.
The republican party believes in adj
justing the tariff SO that it will provide
the necessary income and at the same
time protect from foreign competition
such manufactures or products as may
need such protection.

- What looks like the beginning of a
bloody race war was precipi,ated out
in Mississippi last Saturday. A white

assaulted by a Negro named Bill Burke.
When posse of Is men, under Con-
stable Thompson, went to arrest Burke,
they found him fortified in little log
hut, with a guard of so or 60 Negroes
about the premises. The demand OF
the constable for Burke's surrender
was answered by a volley, which
wounded Constable Thompson and
killed a member of the posse named
Sibley. The posse was thrown into
considerable confusion but promptly
returned the fire, and terrible battle
ragged in the dark. Next day the
whites were reinforced, and they got
from Burke's mother the names of 40
Negroes who were in the crowd. They
began hunting the Negroes down one
by one, killed 10 or II, captured a
number and wounded several. Gov
ernor McLaurin raised posse, secured
a special train and started for the scene

believe that there would be no further
spread of the trouble.

COLONEL J. K. ALSTON.

In the death of Colonel J. K. Alston,
South Carolina loses patriotic son
who gave unusual promise of refecting
honor and credit upon his state.
People seldom receive unanimous
public acknowledgment of their mer-
its during life. 1t is best perhaps that
it is so. Colonel Alston's high position
made him the target for much jealous
criticism. But little of this criticism
ever found its mark. Among all the
young men of the state, the governor
could not have found for the purpose
desired, one more worthy, more COM
petent or more deserving.
Colonel Aston was gentleman in
all that the term implies, and soldier.
His aspirations were high, unselfish
and noble. His position involved re-
sponslbilities that few who are not
trained soldiers can appreciate. The
discharge of his duties necessarily in
volved the incurring of the ignorant re-
sentiment of some of those for whom
he would have freely poured out his
lifeblood. But there are some natures
so sensitive, some characters so fine, as
render the shirking of duty impos'
IL hn oh ontn
nature of Colonel Aston.
Good old Chaplain Bussey evidently
understood the case fully, when he
said at the grave last Saturday, that
Colonel Aston had not been appreci'
ated as he deserved, because of the iu'
capacity of many TO comprehend him
but that proper appreciation had begun
to develop, and that had the colonel
lived, the whole regiment would have
learned to love him as he loved it.
The chaplain had in mind the absolute
necessity of discipline; the high quail
ties that are required of a commander
who would impart discipline and the
inability of inexperienced men to ap'
preciate the benefits of discipline until
after they have possessed themselves
of its benefits.
But, all the same, Colonel Aston
was fully endowed with all the ele'
ments of greatness. There was moth
ing mean or contemplate in his char
acter. No man who knew him we'll
could fail to see in him qualities that
were high and noble, and while indi-
vlduals may for time have been
unable to appreciate him for his full
worth, for his fellow citizens as "a whole
to make such mistake is impossible.
In life he was real hero, and as such
he deserves to be, and will be remem-
bered
