THE LEADERS, MILLINERY OPENING.
A Much Larger Attendance Than in
Former Years-- The Popularity OF

The first day of the Leaders milln-
cry opening was remarkable for the
large number of people who attended.
Previous years were no comparison.
Neither was there any comparison in
the display. Never was there a mill
linery department so festively draped
for an opening. The interior trim
ming certainly deserves special men
tion, as the erect is truly wonderful,
more especially, however, in the mill
linery show room, where the very
zenith of decorative perfection seems
to have been reached. An unusually
large attendance for Thursday is ex-
pected and preparations are already
being made to Increase the facilities
for showing hats.

SNAKE AMONG THE SLEEPERS.


Two drummers were sleeping OF
Tags in a Pennsylvania railroad Cal
not long ago, when one of them utter
ed howl and said:
"Great heaven, Charley, did you see
that ?" and he crept up on the car seat
with both feet"
"Ugh remarked Charley, norcha'
lantly, half opening his eyes:
awake up, for Gods sa !" the
other went on, terrifedly. "There's a
snake under the seat. / think it's q
snake, anyhow, and I want you to
tell me whether he is or not"
"T'll wish SNAKE" said Charley
with one eye entirely open. "You got
'em. Luke. ToP you what'd hap
pened if you didn't quit" =,
Don't kid me. Charley" said
Luke imploringly, awake up and see
for yourself"
But Charley by this time felt yield
ing substance passing over his shoes
and with a wall of terror he rose to
the occasion and joined Luke on top
Of the car seat. Aroused by the noise,
the other passengers rubbed thell
sleepy eyes any aWoke.
One by one the passengers joined
the minority on the car seats, till a.
length a vote on the snake question
would have resulted unanimously IN
the affirmative. The sleepy brake
man who was doing near the stove,
finally awoke, and, catching a glimpse
of a dark object wriggling across the
aisle carpet, he opened the door with
a whoop and disappeared.
By this time there was but one per-
son in the car who was not up on his
seat, and that was man with box,
who still kept peacefully in his corner
"Get up on your seat" he was ad-
iured. "There's a snake loose in the
car"
"Snake loose?" he exclaimed.
"Guess it's my Jim. Rattler, is he?
About five feet long? Yes, that's him.
Had him in box, you know, but he
must have crawled out while 1 was
asleep"
Then, reaching recklessly under the
seat, he grasped and hauled ut five
foot rattler, which he lugged back to
the box in the corner. After securely
clamping the box he went out on the
platform.
"Sorry my Jim disturbed you, gen:
tlemen." he called back. "Fact is,
forgot to say he is only a toy snake,
made up largely of springs and India
rubber. One simply winds the spring
and he will crawl around till he's run
down. I get off here. Au revoir !'-

GETTING THE BETTER IN MAN
NERs.-The most characteristic in
stance of carrying politeness to an ex
treme, came of not long since at

one gay Lothario, in crossing the room
to request Bridget's hand in the mex
reel, stumbled over over the outstretch
ed foot Of Mr.. Terrence O'Grady, VINO
promptly arose, and in the polltes'
manner said:
II beg your pardon, SIR"
"No offnce-no ofince, sir, at all,
responded the other, ''it was my
fault"
II beg your pardon, sir, it was in
tirely my fault" was the response, &C
companied with a graceful bend Of the
body and wave of the hand.
"No, sir" answered Misther O'Toole
eyer intirely in the wrong, sir, 1 tel
ye, it was altogether my fault"
II tell We it was not, sir !" respond
ed .Misther O,Grady "do ye name te
say I'd be tilling lie, sir ?"
"Bad luck to ye, sir, dye name tt
say I'd be afther tilling ye lie, sir
whin till We it wasn't your fault?
responded O'Toole, quite wroth.
"Bad luck to yer bad brading, "
ignorant polthroon dye think ye'd bt

ners ?" shouted Misther O'Grady, a:
with a tip and blow he laid the un
fortunate O'Toole fiat as pancake
The latter rallied, and rough-and
tumble ensued, which ended in the ex
pulsion of both gentleman from the
ballroom.

THE JOHN RODDEY IDEA.
The State Alliance Wants to Handle the
Staple.

| Staple.
An important incident in the pro-
ceedings of the State Alliance, last
week, was the introduction by Mr.
Crosswell, of Newberry, of a plan to
control the sale of cotton. The plan,
which is said to have been favorably
discussed, was as follows:
That the Alliance take charge OF
and handle the cotton for the producer.
1t is proposed that the Alliance grade
the cotton and negotiate its sale for
the farmer. 1t is contended that the
same grade of cotton will bring uni
form price. The headquarters for the
negotiation of sales, it is suggested,
should be in Columbia. The plan is
for a farmer to inform the Alliance
how many bales he has on hand, send
ing a sample, and then the Alliance
could negotiate its sale to cotton mills
in the state or elsewhere. The Al
lance would simply act as the agent
for the producer in placing his cotton
to the highest bidder.
An Allianceman speaking about the
plan, said "This is only suggestion,
and it will be brought up for discus
sion at our meeting. 1t seems to be an
excellent plan. I believe it will meet
with favor if fully matured. have
heard it said that the cotton mill peo-
pie in one county in the state drove a
local cotton buyer out of the business
by letting it get broadcast through the
county that it would pay higher
price for cotton than the local man
could pay. The local buyer knew
the mill could afford to buy cotton
higher than himself for awhile in order
to run him out of the business and
the mill actually succeeded in driving
the local man from the county. When
farmers offered to sell, the mill people
paid less for cotton than farmers would
have received if the individual buyer
had remained. The plan suggested, if
carried into execution, would prevent
such action. The Alliance would deal
with the consumer for the farmer, and
the quoted prices and the grade of cot
ton sold would be closely watched. 1t
would equalize the business, and, in
my judgment, protect the farmer from
encroachments."
The matter was referred to Manager
D. P. Duncan and the directors of the
state exchange.
