court the names of all who are therein

AN EASILY TRIED HEADACHE CURE
"This most excellent and never-failing
cure for nervous headache" says the
apostle of physical culture, "is the sim
pie act Of walking backward. Just try
it some time If you have any doubt
about it. have yet to meet the per-
son who didn't acknowledge its eff1ca-
cy after trial.
Nobody has as yet discovered or
formulated a reason why such pro-
cess should bring certain relief Ply
sicians say that 1t Is probably because
the reflex action Of the pody brings
about a reflex action of the brain, and
thus drives away the pain that, when
produced by nervousness, Is the result
Of too much going forward. AS soon as
you begin to walk backward, however,
there comes feeling Of everything be-
ing reversed, and this is followed by
relief. The relief is always certain and
generally speedy. Ten minutes is the
longest have ever found necessary.
IAN entry or long room Is a good
place for such a promenade; but even
better than this Is a long porch, or
secluded walk in the open air. You
should walk very slowly. letting the
ball of your foot touch the floor first,
and then the heel; just the way, in
fact, that one should, in theory, walk
forward; but which, in practice, Is so
rarely done.-Philadelphi Record.

SENTIMENT IN THE COURT ROOM

There Is nothing more successful in
swaying a jury and especially a jury
of farmers, than the proper application
Of sentiment" said the old lawyer. II
remember when Ralph B. Turner, who
was sent up from Kansas City for lar
ceny, Turner defended himself. He did
the same in the trial of which I am
thinking, and after all the testimony
was in, and 1t was damaging evidence,
too, Turner made his plea.
Gentlemen he said, it is impossi-
BILE that I could have committed that
crime. Gentlemen, my old father lies
buried on the hills Of New Hampshire,
and many years ago when that godly
old man was on his deathbed, he put
his hand on my head and said: My
boy, you have always been my stay
and my comfort, never do anything to
disgrace your old fathers name And
the prisoners voice was choking, but
he continued: And it was not many
years ago that my sanity mother took
my hand in hers, which already was
growing cold, and whispered: My boy,
as you pass through life, with all it's
failures and temptations, remember
that your old mother is watching you.'
Gentlemen of the jury, could not COM
NIT crime
Turner was quite overcome with his
emotions, but back in the court room
was his brother-i.'-lav, and he turned
to me and said with smile:
"'Did you hear that fellow? Why,
his father and mother are both living
But the jury turned him loose"
The old lawyer told another story in
which the sentiment game was made
little too strong.
"A young man." he said, was on
trial for murder in the first degree. He
was charged with killing his father
and mother, and the proof was con-
elusive against him. The jury return
ed with a verdict Of guilty. The pris-
oner was called before the court to be
sentenced, and as is the custom, the
judge asked:
eff you have any reason why SEN
tence should not be passed upon you,
you may give 1t now
"T haven't any judge said the pris-
oner, excepting that I think you ought
to have pity on poor orphan '"-Kan-

ENDORSED BY MILLIMEH.
What the Cotton Manufacturers Think of the
Stand Taken BY Senator McLaurin.

Your correspondent has received from
this state and South Carolina, letters,
most of them strongly commencing the
position taken by Senator McLaurin, of
South Carolina, on the pending shipping
bill. These letters are from prominent
men, widely known as leaders in this
industry. Only one letter out Of those
received opposes Senator McLaurin's 8
position. Tne letters follow:
J. w. Cannon, secretary Cannon Man
ufacturing Co., Concord, N. c.: II
heartily endorse Senator McLaurin, of
South Carolina, or any other man who
is looking forward to the best interests
Of the United States, and my opinion Is
that the men abreast of the times are
those who are looking forward to the
broad expansion of American business
interests. I heartily endorse the sub
sidy bill, and think 1t would be great
benefit to our Southern states"
8. B. Tanner, Caroleen, N. c., Sec
retary and treasurer of the Henrietta
Mills: 1--WE think the stand Senator
McLaurin has taken Is decidedly for
the best interests of this country from
a business standpoint"
John H. Montgomery, president Pac-
olet Manufacturing company. Pacolet,
IS. c.: Il commend the stand Senator
McLaurin has taken"
R. T. Fewell, president Arcade Cotton
Mill, Rock Hill, S. c.: II fully concur
with Senator McLaurin's views on the
foreign policy Of the government aid to
the merchant marine. climate the Me-
gro from politics and you will see no
more solid South, and our representa-
tives would not then be hampered and
condemned, as they sometimes are, for
voting for the best interests Of the
country, regardless Of party"
w. C. Leak, president Pee Dee Man.
ufacturing Co.. Rockingham, N. c.:
1--WE are not in favor Of the ship sub
sidy bill, and consequently do not COM
mend the position taken by Senator
McLaurin, Of South Carolina. If the
United States is able to build bridges,
ETC., for the purpose Of competing with
foreign countries in steel, iron, etc.,
we do not see why we should not be
able to build ships to compete in other
lines of trade"
r. 2. Gates, president Arkwright
Mills, Spartanburg, s. c.: I'm my
judgment, the present greatest need Of
this country at large is extended out

products, nor do believe it possible to
obtain these except through increased

TO CURTAIL PRODUCTION.
Yarn Spinners to Run on Half Time For -Four
Months.

Four hundred and fifty thousand
spindles were represented at the meet
ing of the Southern Spinners' associa-
tion held in this city today, says
Charlotte dispatch of Thursday. The
meeting was called for the express
purpose of effecting a curtailment IN
the production of cotton yarns and the
result Is that for four months from
March 1, the production will be reduced
very considerably. This will be brought
about by shut down Of night work as
provided for in the following resolu-
ton, which was unanimously adopted
Resolved, That we recommend all
mills to stop night work entirely for
four months, beginning March 1, 1901,
and that mills running daylight only
stop one day in every week, beginning
March 1. At the expiration of 60 days

The POLITICAL BEE.
How Some Men Act When Stung BY the H.
sect

when a man is stung good and
sharp by the business end Of a politi-
cal bee, he is poisoned by the virus Of
an Unsuitable ambition which pro-
duces, in some instances, curious symp-
toms Of which he of all men Is last to
discover" said a well-known repre-
sentative in an uptown hotel lobby:
"The historical instances of great
men going down to their graves bro
ken in body and spirit by the insid-
ious and deadly effects Of political dis
appointment are too well known to be
recounted; but will give you a case
aptly illustrated what men will do for
the sake Of office, or an attempt to
secure it.
"This is my third term in congress.
Before the nomination each time I
have been steadily and bitterly opposed
by fellow townsman whose sole aim
in life, apparently, Is to come to con-
gress. Ten years ago he was q man
ufacturer with a large and growing
business. The political bee first stung
him when he was elected an alderman.
From that moment he took very ac-
tive interest in local politics, starting
in the free-for-all trot for the CAPT.
tol, and buying a controlling interest in
local paper to further his candidacy.
Three times I have beaten him for
the nomination at the primaries. In
fact he could not carry his own elec-
ton precinct and ward. In spite Of
this, after each defeat he would begin
the battle anew, and as I shall be a
candidate again, the contest will be
fought over again at the next primary
election.
"For the sake of try for seat In
congress. my opponent has ridden but
one hobby all of these years, spent
thousands Of dollars, wasted his time
and energy, neglected his family by
devoting his days and nights to wire
pulling and absence from the hearth,
chewed increasingly at the cud Of bit
ter disappointment, nursed and foster
ed his unfulfiled hopes and wrecked
ambitions, nearly bankrupted himself
and has lost a business which would
have made him a wealthy and conten-
ted man-all this sacrifice for little
honor, $4,000 a year, mileage and sta
tionery.-Washingt Star.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1901-02-20

from March 1, mills stopping night
work shall also conform to arrange
ments made herein for mills running
day time only.
DR.. John H. McAden, president Of the
association, says that this action in
sures a reduction of so per cent.
Leonard Paulson, Of Buckingham,
Paulson & Co., was the only Northern
commission man present. He made
speech, in which he said the market is
dull and prices only nominal. In the
hands Of commission merchants, he
said, there are yarns sufficient to last
certainly for 60 days, and probably four
months. He thought the action taken
by the meeting would have a good ef-
feet.
President McAden, speaking of the
meeting, said that the thousands of
mill operatives that would be immedi-
ately affected by the partial shut
down, would receive the special consid-
Grafton and care Of their employers.
The night shifts will not be allowed to
suffer and all operatives will be given
just as much work as is possible under
the circumstances.

sepsrate Towels For Children

Two or more children should not be
permitted to use the same towel. Each
child should have a separate one and
be taught to regard it as personal prop
erty. Towels may be bought with
initials woven in them, which makes
it easy for the owner to distinguish
his own. Diseases Of the eye and skin
diseases are easily communicated by
the indiscriminate use Of the same
towel by different persons. If careful
ness In this matter be inculcated in
childhood it may save much suffering.

-(Sedl.)
In commenting on the above, the
judge remarked that t would be legal
to identify the possessor of the legal
acumen who drew it up. He described
it as having no force in law and as be-
ing contrary to the constitution and
contrary to good morals. He thought
there should be special investigation OF
the magistrate who issued a warrant
under such a paper, and he told the
grand jury to procure a list of all the
so-caled landlords and laborers who
were parties to such contracts. In con-
clusion he said:
Mr.. Foreman and Gentlemen: AS
white men living in state where sc
large a portion Of our population is
composed of Negroes, 1t is our duty as
representing the law abiding element
of our population to see that justice is
done to that inferior race. There Is nc
doubt that the Negro race is inferior
to ours in intelligence, in civilization, in
moral character. There is no doubt
that we have deprived them practically
| of political power, and it is best for
| them that it is so, but we are all the
more bound to treat them kindly, fairly
and justly They are, in fact, our
wards, and we, as their guardians must
see to it that they are not made the
victims of deceit and fraud, imposi-
tion and oppression. The fact that the
Negro is ignorant, poor and dependent
on the white man is no reason why
he should be made the helpless victim
of the white mans greed, deceit and
tyranny. We must not allow the Ne
grOS necessity to be the hard-hearted
white mans opportunity The white
mans burden is a heavy one. and the
white man Of the Southern states has
larger portion Of it to bear than any
other white man. We must endeavol
to show ourselves worthy of our re-
sponsibility, and as grand jurors and
officers of the court we must see to ii
that in Anderson county this prosper
Gus, enterprising, Christian community
the Negro shall have justice done him
You will therefore spare no pains to
make a thorough investigation of the
stockade scandal. The oath which you
took as grand jurors requires you to
present all things truly as they come to
your knowledge, to the best Of your
understanding so help you God. You
have sworn not only that you will not
present anyone for envy, hatred OF
malice, but that you will leave no one
unpresented for fear, favor, affection

Seven Shots Nobody Hurt.

A little excitement was Great ed
yesterday by pistol shots in the
vicinity of DIR. VIM. Crawford s
lot. 1t developed that Frank
White and John Sadler, both
colored, had engaged in battle
but that no one was hi. 1t seems
that Sadler had cursed Whites
wife in his absence and that White
called him to account about it
when he cane to his dinner.
Sadler told White he would see
him in the afternoon and walked
off. In little while, however,
Sadler returned to the lot and
opened fire on White, shooting
five times. 1t was then Whites
time to shoot but he only got to
shoot twice vt Saddler before he
reached place OF safety. No
body was hurt and the nearest
any ne came to being hurt was
10y one of Sadler's shots which
went througha a sash at the graded
school and fell to the floor. Both
darkies were placed under arrest
