Rules For Horse Traders.


David Harum was a go,d horse ira
der, but recent transaction in horse.
flesh which was made by well-known
Memphiah shows that there are others
who know how to get the long end of
horse trade. Several weeks ago this
Momphis man saw fine buggy horse
which he thought he wanted. He To-
| Gated the owner and asked the price.
"One fifty" was the reply. After
looking the animal over closely and
trying her speed he concluded it was a
good trade, and without moro ado
wrote check for the amount. The
next day he found that the mare was
as blind as bat, but this did not
hinder her speed nor detract from her
general appearance. He drove the
animal for several weeks and succeed
ed in attracting the admiration Of
another lover of horsefesh, who made
proposal to purchase. "Wel)," said
the Memphian, II gave one fifty for
her, but I will let you have her for
one sixty-fve."
The prospective owner looked the
animal over and concluded he had a
bargain. He paid over the money and
took the mare. When the animal was
unhitched the first thing she did was
to run against post and then by way
Of emphasizing the fact that she was
blind fell over a barrel. The next
day the buyer came back to the Mem

"Colonel, you know that mare you
sold me- he began "WssH!! We'll, she'

with an easy air.
: "You didn't say anything to me
about it," said the purchaser, his face
reddening with anger.
4-Weii, Iii tell you" replied the
colonel. 'iThat fellow who sold her
to me didn't tell me about it, and I
just concluded that he didn't want it
known"
The new owner took his medicine
and is now on the lookout for friend
on whom he can even things.--Mem-

L. q. of Anderson, s.

The following resolutions were
adopted at the regular monthly meet
ing on April 3, 1900, of the Woman s
Christian Temperance Union, of An
derson, S. c.:
Whereas, We learn with great sor.
row that already hundreds of saloons
have been opened in the city Of Ma
nila;
Whereas, it cannot be denied that
if we add to the barbarism and super
stition Of the Filipinos, the evils Of
intemperance, American rule will be a
curse and not blessing.
Whereas, the Hawaiians have petit
toned our government, with most
commendable good sensec, to prohibit
the sale and importation of iptoxicat-
ing liquors and opium on this is
land; therefore,
Resolved, That we confidently ex-
pect the Congressman from South
Carolina to use their best endeavors
to pass through Congress the bill now
pending as to the sale of intoxicants
in the Philippines. That they see to
it that the request of the Hawaiians
be surely granted. That they watch
with untiring vigilance the movements
of our insidious foe, the whiskey
power, leaving no stone unturned to
defeat thci. nefarious designs.
Resolved, That the language of the
bills be made such thatit will be i'm
possible for the most willy politician
to misinterpret it.
Resolved, That we feel sure that
the members of the South Carolina
delegation need only to have their at
tention called to the matter to insure
their working indefatigably till we
shall have removed from Christian
America the stigma Of causing our
weaker brothers to fall into the
clutches Of the rum fiend.
Resolved, That our Secretary be
instructed to send copy of these re-
solutions to each of the Congressman
and Senators from our State.

An appeal from .he Hawaiian is
lands, signed by plantation owners
physicians, teachers, pastors, mission
aries aud leading business men repre-
senting 80 | er cent. Of the total popu
lation has been presented to Congress
It asks: First. That the Importation
manufacture and sale Of Intoxicating
liquors be prohibited. Second. That
the importation and sale of opium be
prohibited; and, Third. That gaming
be prohibited. This appeal should
not be denied or delayed. Itwould be

Twenty MillIon Pins.

1t requires an average Of more than
20, 1000, 900 pins per day to sustain the
falling skirts, replace the missing sus
pender buttons and meet the other
needs of the American people, says
the New York Herald. What becomes
of all these pins is aquestion that no.
body has been able to answer. but
there is no falling off in the demand,
so that this number must disappear iu
some manner every day.
1t is hard to imagine anything sim
pier than pin, and it is striking
proof of the complications of our mod
ern industrial system that every pin
in the course of its manufacture pass
es through dozen separate processes.
involving the greatest skill on the part
of the operatives employed and the ac-
tion Of great amount of automatic
machinery.
The pin makes its appearance at
the factory in the eorm of barrels Of
coiled brass wire. The first process is
that of Strengthening the wire. The
coils are placed on revolving racks,
and fed from these into little machines,
from the vice-like grip of which the y
emerge perfectly straight. Thence
the wire is fed into the pinmaking
machine, which is almost as complica-
ted as printing press. Asharp knifo
cuts the wire off into uniform length
Of the desired size. AS each little
longth IF wire drops from the knife it
falls upon a small wheel, tho edge
of which is notohed into small grooves
just large enough to hold the bits of
wire.
Each piece is carried along by the
wheel until an iron finger and thumb
seize it and hold it firmly, while an au-
tomato hammer, by single smart
blow puts head on one end. Then
the embryo pins fall upon another
grooved wheel, which revolves hori-
zontally. AS they move on in the
clasp of tre second wheel the project
ing ends pass over a number of circu-
lar steel files, which neatly grind them
to point. Further on they encoun-
ter pumice stone, which smoothes
off the fil. ends and then they drop
into wooden receiving box. The
cutting, heading, pointing.a and smooth
ing has all been done by the wonderful
automatic machinery.
From the wooden boxes the pins go
to the whitening" room, where they
are cleaned in revolving barrels filled
with sawdust and receive nickel
coating in big vats. Then they are
dried in the sawdust barrels and are
run through sorting" machine. It
is impossible to get the better of the
machine.
The big department stores and
wholesale dealers bug their pins by
the case. A case contains los dozen
papers, $50 pins in each paper. A
single order from the larger stores US
ually calls for 100 cases, or nearly So
600, 1000 pins.

A Word More.

Last week we gave in brief our
reason why we could support the
whole fusion ticket. Now we WISH
to say a word TO home voters on
that line.
For some reason it is rumored
away from home that the fusion
vote at Emmett is divided, which
is much to the JOY of the repuoli-
can campaigners, and that n Will
not support the ticket. Upon M
vestigatiol we hardly believe TINS
true. We do not find more fusion
voters dissatisfied with their men
than republicans. We do ind 'ha'
delegates and others from mere '.re
not satisfied with the action o' lhe
democratic nominating convention
held in Nampa last month ahO
that Emmett has rights that the us
pirants should respect but Oh
the other hand there is another s'o'

All kinds Of arguments were advanced
as reasons why such action should not

suing this course blindly shut their eyes

nope that the matter of presidential elcc-
