and listening to some kind of a tale Of
woe.
"But they miss it now and then, and
am glad to note an instance which Oc-
Cured only a day or two ago. A men,
Der from a Northern State had been
invited to call at the lady's hotel the
next day, and she had asked him to let
her know If he would come. He wrote,
saying among other things: To- morrow,
madam, / hope to see the loyeiiest wo-
man in the world. Naturally she was
pleased, and told all the people around
the hotel about it. The next day he did
not appear, and the next she saw him
at the Capitol, and asked him what he
meant by treating her SO.
What did do?' he asked, innocent
ly.
"'You said you were coming to see
me- she said, blushing at the remem-
brance of his words.
II think not
Indeed you did, she insisted. You
said you would see the loveliest woman
in the world and she blushed again.
"'Oh I beg pardon he said, smiling.
I meant my wife. She just arrived yes
terday.' y.'"-WaShington Star

Robert Fulton's Torpedoe..

Before re turned his attention to navi-
cation by steam, Robert Fulton invented
a marine torpedo which he endeavored
to dispose Of to the United States Gov
ernment. Succeeding in interesting
James Madison, then Secretary Of State,
in the matter, he obtained a small ap-
preparation from the Government for the
purpose of conducting some public ex-
periments. In the summer of 1906 he
invited the high dignitaries and num-
Der of prominent citizens Of New York
to Governors Island to see the torpe-
does and machinery with which his
experiments were to be made While
he was lecturing on his blank torpedoes,
which were large empty copper cylin-
ders, his numerous auditors crowded
around him. After a while he turned to
copper case of the same description,
which was placed under the gateway of
old Castle William, and to which was
attached clock-work lock-
Drawing out a peg, Fulton set the
clock in motion, and then he said in SOL
emn tones to his attentive audience:
Gentlemen, this is a charged torpedo,
with which, precisely in it's present
state, mean to blow up vessel; it con-
tains 10 pounds of gunpowder, and if
l were to suffer the clockwork to run
fifteen minutes I have no doubt that it
would blow this fortification to atoms"
The circle of humanity which had
closed around the inventor began to
spread out and grow thinner. and before
five of the fifteen minutes had passed
there were but two or three persons re-
naming under the gateway. Some, in
deed, lost no time in getting at the
greatest possible distance from the tor
pedo, and they did not again appear
on the ground until they were assured
that the engine of destruction was safely
lodged in the magazine, whence it had
been taken. The local historian of that
period remarks:
THE conduct of Mr.. Fultons auditors
was not very extraordinary or unnat-
ural; but his own composure indicated
the confidence with which he handled
these terrible instruments of destruction
and the reliance he had on the accuracy
o. the performance of his machinery.
The apprehensions of his friends sur
rrised and amused him, and he took oc-
casion TO remark how true it was that
fear frequently arose from ignorance.

proval of the taxpayers OF the State.
The placing youthful offenders along
side of hardened criminals without an
effort to reform them other than by the
punishment inflicted by the operations
of penal statutes speaks badly for q
people living in the midst of Christian
civilization. The long neglect OF so
Important a matter-so great q debt
due to humanity--can scarcely be
atoned for now, however willingly and
promptly we may ask through our rep
rcsentatives in the Legislature, and to
nostpone the matter longer would
amount TO little less than criminal
NEGLECT. Under existing statutes the
iron hand of the law deals alike with
young and old. They are sent to the
same prison, placed IN the same cells,
worked side by side and what the
youth lacks in criminal education he
soon learns from his older companions.
His inclinations to reformation meet
with no encouragement; he realizes
that he is vagabond and an outcast
and for the want OF an opportunity to
be once more trusted and tried be-
comes, indeed, q vagabond and a men
ace to society.

Thejurors serving at the present term
of Court in Greenville deserve to be
congratulated upon the faithful per-
formance of their duties. The jury
system is the bulwarll Of civil liberty,
but lit is so only when stern duty sweeps
aside prejudice and sentiment and
makes naked evidence the basis of its
operations. When sentimentis is allowed
to overshadow duty and check the flow
of justice criminals take courage and
it is only question of time till all the
land is deluged with crime. However
much the sentences Of the Courts may
do violence to the tender susceptible
titles of jurors they should know that
duty, alone, which brings swift, but
Just, punishment can give that security
of person and property which is so
much desired by every community.
The juries of Greenville County should
be made up of as good men as can be
found in other Counties, and doubtless
are, but from laxity of duty, or some
other cause, the increase OF crime III
that County within the last few years
is to be deeply deplored.

FOR GAsH ONLY.

ANDERSON, Nov. ID, 1898.
We have learned by experience that
the business methods of the majority
of people to whom we have extended
credit are altogether too loose, and as
we find this condition Of affairs is be-
coming more prevalent, We will from
and after this date, conduct our prac-
tice wholly for cash. In conformity
with this intention, we hereby give
notice to that effect. By adopting that
method, we will defend ourselves from
that undesirable element of fashion
able, we'll dressed dead beats, living on
what they owe, and from that class
who do not dress so fine, but have no
regard for their promises. Thus we
will avoid making bad debts for which
the paying class will not have to pay,
and, too. giving us more time to work
for the better class.
We realize that we will work for
fewer people, and will lose q few OF
our customers, whom we prize very
highly, but we will have more money.
and not be so rushed. Now, we wish
to offend no one, but will most posi-
lively refuse the invitation to do any
work on time. therefore we beg you
not to ask lis for credit. II you are oil
the better class. "by which we mean
the paying class that we speak OF, We
will be glad to see you. But If you be-
long to that undesirable element men
toned, we will not be glad to see you,
nor would we work for you Knowingly.
Ne are yours respectfully,

The anti-cigarette law passed by the
last Tennessee Legislature is declared
constitutionalby the Supreme Court of
that State. The opinion declares that
cigarettes are not legitimate articles of
commerce, because they are wholly
noxious and deleterious to health and
therefore are not within the provision
Of the Federal constitution protecting
Legitimate commerce. 1t also holds
that the conventional cigarette pack
age is not an original package" in the
true commercial sense, for which addi
tional reason the Federal law has no
application to this statute. The sale
OF cigarettes has been stopped by
order of the police. The decision will
likely be contested in the Federal Su
preme Court, and will be watched with
interest by the whole country.

Let it be remembered that each bank

Let it be remembered that each bank
check or draft must bear stamp. So
must every bin of lading, mortgages,
conveyances, leases, power of attorney,
warehouse receipts, telegraph mes
sages and express packages. In every
case the stamp must be affixed and the
person affixing it must cancel it by
writing across its face his initials and
the date. The tax act provides that if
any instrument or document specified
as subject to q tax stamp is left un
stamped with intent to eyade the pro-
visions of this act" the offender shall
be deemed guilty Of q misdemeanor,
and upon conviction shall be fined not
exceeding $50, or imprisoned not cx-
ceeding six months, OF both. Some
people are very careless in aifixing
these stamps to the papers requiring
them.
