An Economical Dog.

1t is not often that a dog will be
found showing as much intelligence
as the pet of Miss Mary Owen, of No.
80 North 9th street. This dog believes
in economy in the home and was not
slow, the other day, in acting upon his
belief There was visitor at the
Owen residence who met great favor
in the eyes of the family pet. The dog
made friends with the guest immedi-
ately ard stayed by her side during her
visit to receive caresses. Just as the
visitor was preparing to leave the
thoughtful animal decided that his
new friend should be rewarded for her
caresses, so excusing himself with a
bark, he left the room. In a short
time be returned with basket con-
tanning peaches. Straight to the Wis
itor went the dog and placed the bas
ket upon the sofa beside her. The
guest accepted the CANNES treat and
selected two fine peaches from the
basket. The dog then picked up the
basket, but instead of carrying it
away stood there and whined. Neither
hostess nor guest could tell what was
the matter, but the canine soon en-
lightened them. Releasing the basket
he jumped upon the sofa beside the
guest and, taking one of her peaches,
dropped it back with the others. Then
he picked up the basket and carried
it into the kitchen.-St. Joseph,

The crime of wife desertion is a
growing one among the negroes and is
an evil that should be abated by some
more stringent legislation. As it is
here now the penalty does not fit the
crime and the grade of the ofense
ought to be raised to measure up some
where to the seriousness of the offense.
The legislature of Minnesota has raised
it to the grade of felony punishable
by Imprisonment in the penitentiary
for not less than one nor more than
three years with provision for sus-
pension of sentence if the husband
gives bond for the support of his
wife and family. That is a wise law
for it enables the courts to enforce
their jurisdiction over the culprits by
means of a requisition upon the gov
ernor of any State to which he may go.
AS it is here now man has onlya to
cross the Savannah river and be is
safe and his family is left to get along
as best they can or perhaps to become
a public charge Close akin to this is
the crime of wife beating, for which
there is no adequate punishment pro
vided now. There is but one penalty
that fits that crime, and that is the
whipping post. \ man who IS so de-
graded as to beat his wife ought to be
strung up and punished in kind.
Nothing would deter him so much as
letting him feel how it is himself

HUBBARD's COTTON LETTER.

New York, Sept. 11.-European mar
kets paid more attention to the offers
and the south than to the steadiness
of the American market, and came
disappointing in tone to be followed by
a decline. Receipts are comparatively
light, representing the lateness of the
crop in the Atlantic, and the DISPOSE
tion of Texas to hold on account of the
disaster to the crop in that State. A
large purchase of print cloths in Fall
River at full prices cleared that mar
ket of the surplus stock which had
been pressing for sale. Weather con-
ditions continue favorable for the
development of the crop. European
selling orders furnished the contract
which were bought by the local trade
who took for reaction abroad from
the depression of today, and some in
vestment buying on Mr.. Ellison's es-
innate that at present prices ship
ments would consume 1000, 900 bales
of American cotton. The undertone,
however, was not confident.

Queer Form of Hysteria.

DR.. Dimopoulos, a medical practi-
toner of the town of Kutahla, in Asia
Minor, sends to Smyrna journal par
ticulars of an epidemic'' among
women of that town, which has proba-
bly, no parallel in modern experience.
About three years ago a young woman
became subject to form of hiccough
like the crow of cock, which resisted
treatment: soon after second began
to hiccough like cat mewing. and in
six months there were sixty women in
the town affected with what may be
described as animal hiccoughs, ex-
ceedingly varied. Braying, barking
and sounds like those made by the
fox are included in tie list. DR..
Dimopolous says that to be in room
among a number Of those women was
like an experience of the forest or a
menaegrie. Some men are affected,
but the victims are mostly women,
which is ineligible if the doctors
theory is correct, that the disease. for
which he vouches. is a form of imita-
tive hysteria. Mail Gazette.

Anarchists in Danger.

Chicago, Sept. 13.-General orders
were issued tonight by Chief Of Police
O'Neill for every available man on tae
police force throughout the city TO be
kept on reserve in the event that there
was any demonstration against the
anarchists. At central station 50 men
were detailed to watch the principal
hotels and public buildings for any
signs of a demonstration, and thirty
more were held in reserve. At the
detail station the entire day force was
held on reserve duty.
Eve are prepared for any kind Of an
emergency said Chief O'Neill. g If
anv one cares to create a disturbance,
I believe we will be able to stop any
acts of violence. The county jail is
well guarded and in addition the entire
force is so mobolized that it can be
called together in short time. .
Three men, one Of them the son of
a prominent hotel keeper, visited the
Offices of the papers during the early
part of the evening, with q call writ
ten out and signed by all three, asking
that if there were definite news of the
death of President Mckinley by 10
O'Clock tomorrow morning, they want
ed ten thousand men to meet them
in front of the county jail and take
steps to lynch the anarchists confined
in the building. Their call met with
little response. although the general
feeling was with them. There We're
no crowds around the jail or around
the Harrison street police station,
and no indications of any.
At the same time the police recog-
nized the possibility of trouble when
authentic news should be received Of
tae presidents death. and announced
themselves ready and able to protect
their prisoners if any attack should be
made against them.

The proposed combination of the
bituminous coal interests Of Ohio,
PENNSYLVANIA, West Virginia. Illinois
and kentucky, it is noted, would put
under a single management mines that
will produce 80. GOO, coo tons of the
total OF about 1000, ,0G0 tons of that
kind of coal in the year 1901: about
three-fourths of all the bitumlnoUs
coal mined in the United States. 1t

tons mined in the south and In Mis-
souri,, Iowa and Kansas and the Trans
Missouri States, but will include them

care of the remnant Of their standing

they do not.

OLD BOOKS CLEANED UP.

Some parents may not be fully in
formed of the fact that all old school
books now in the hands Of school chill
dren can be turned into money while
the new books are being purchased ):
but that if they neglect this until
November 18th, 1901, it will be too
late after that. l have learnd that
some merchants, not wishing to be
bothered with taking up the old
books. do not encourage them to be
brought in, and there are people who
are buying books. not knowing that
they can turn their old books into
money. Each County Superintendent
should see to it that no such mistake
occurs in his county. Inform all your
teachers and trustees. and secure from
all,,merchants assurance Of cooperation :
and have your county swept clean Of
the old books. Very truly,
John J. McMahan,

More Race Prejudice.

New York State has furnished an
other instance of their race prejudice
against the negro and the falsity Of
their claim that they are the negro's
special friend. James Il. Tarbert,
who is the assistant principal OF the
Fort Valley, Ga, High and Industrial
School, with a party has been IN the
habit of making trips through the
North soliciting funds for the school.
This summer he made a trip through
the Adirondacks and he and his party
had great difficulty in securing food
and shelter. They finally wound up at
Saranac Lake, summer resort, where
they gave concert. After the con-
cert they went to hotel to get lodg-
ing and the proprietor laughed at chem.
This was repeated at two other hotels,
one of which gave them some hash and
tea on the grass in the back yard and
charged them 25 cents each. They
then tried farm houses and finally Sc
cured the privilege of sleeping in a
hay loft. This was pretty rough treat
ment to receive in the land of great
moral ideas and the brotherhood Of
man. We do not know that they
would have Jared any better at South
ern hotels nor would they have applied
at them, but they had right to ex-
pect different and better treatment
at the hands of these loud-mouthed
friends in the Adirondacks. We make
no professions here of receiving ne
eroes on an equality but up there
they do. but it seems it is all profes
sion. Hypocrisy wears very thin

To County superintendents.

Dear Sir: It is now unlawful for a
school to be operated with the old text
books. Attend to this matter IN ad-
vance. and do not wait until teach
er's certificate is presented to you for
approval. AS the schools open the
new books should be put in and the
old books taken up. It is your duty
as County Superintendent to exert
yourself to facilitate the exchange of
books, and save the loss that will re-
suit from neglecting this matter.
You are forbidden by law to allow any
teacher to be paid who uses the old
books instead of the new.
In addition ..totaking up the old
books and selling the new through the
repositories, County Superintendents
are fastening the exchange by secur-
ing the cooperation of the merchants
in different country neighborhoods
They have recommended to the pub
fishers reputable men to handle the
adopted books on consignment, and
the publishers have consented to ship
supplies to all such persons-the books
to be sold at the wholesale contract
price, the merchants handling them
to be allowed 5 per cent of the
proceeds in compensation. Although
this is small compensation it sat
isles the country merchant who
realizes the value of the advertise
ment in handling the school
books of the neighborhood. Text
books are thus sold as cheaply in the
country neighborhoods as from the
County Depositories. The publisher
thus receives less for his books in this
State than anywhere else in the world,
and school children buy books at the
price wholesale dealers have to pay
outside of South Carolina.
I write to ask if you are one of the
County Superintendents who have
made this arrangement in their coun-
ties? If you have not done so, [ wish
to urge you to do so at once. The
publishers that have SO far consented
to this arrangement are the B. F.
Johnson Company and CHM & Com
pany. Theirs are the books that are
most necessary-readers, arithmetics,
biographies and histories. They
started this arrangement, and | am
now trying to induce other publishers
10 make it.

Mrs. Matte Hughes skips.

Spartanburg, S. c., Sept. 12.-
There is a defendant missing at the
criminal court in Greenville this
week, says the Spartanburg journal.
The celebrated Matte Hughes case
was to have come up, but the defend
ant is not there, and she is ont here,
where her home has been for more
than a year past. She has been run
ming a restaurant and it is generally
conceded has made great deal aof
money and trouble.
Matte A. Hughes left this town last
week in the attire of a man. She sold
her restaurant business and for day
or so was seen about town several
times with mans clothing on. 1t mas
been hinted by some who pretend to
know that she has either gone to
Charleston or Charlotte. 1t is not be-
lieved she is in the city.
This woman has been the cause OF
a great deal of trouble. Nearly three
wears ago she killed her husband,
George W. Hughes, at Greers, and
three times she was put on trial, but
in each case mistrial resulted. Judge
Townsend heard the case first and it
is his time at Greenville again. a
few LIQUOR cases are pending against
her there.
In Spartanburg her course did not
improve and complaint resulted from
her establishment at the depot. Fights
became frequent ard the police were
in demand. A case for keeping dis
orderly house was made by the grand
jury.
It is understood she has threatened
the chief of police. Several cases for
LIQUOR selling are pending against her.
Mrs. Hughes is undoubtedly away.
She dressed up in S15 suit, took 81
600 it is said, and went out to see the
world.

A Bear in Lancaster.

Lancaster Ledger, Saturday: There
is some excitement in the Primus Sec
tion over the fact that a very large
bear was seen by Mr.. J. D. Hinson
near his home last Tuesday evening.
He followed it some little distance
into the woods and fired several
shots from his pistol at it, to which
it paid no attention. It was going in
a kind of fox trot and did not quicken
his gait. Mr.. Hinson and some Of his
neighbors tried to track it to its hid
ing place the next morning, but soon
lost the track in the woods.
