The New Woman.
Written for The Herald.

Rev. Chas. B. Gregory, writing in the
Chicago American, seems much exercised
about the passing of woman" His Ia
ments and worries are poured forth as
follows:
Mother as well as the pies that mother
used to make; wife with the unspeakahle
charm and beauty that once went hand
in hand with her; sister with the tender
endearments that used to be associated
with her name and home and its atmos-
phere of peace and JOY, are slipping away
from u.s."
VIM. J. Bryan comments on Mr.. Greg
ory's lamentation in his spicy little paper,
THE Commoner," in this wise:
MIR. Gregory thinks the new woman is
neither mother, wife or sister, but as the
Frenchman would put it, simply a female.
There is no change in woman unless it
be for the better 'Tis true today more
women have to toll to earn their daily
bread than formerly. This fact indicates
an unsatisfactory condition, but is Mr..
Gregory using his energies and talents to
remove this evil?"
Women are coming to the front very
coaspicuously, not only in the avocations
and political affairs of life, but in the
formation of public opinion. There are
today hundreds of womens' clubs and So
cieties, where none existed few years
ago. But as Mr.. Bryan observes in com
menting on female clubs, do the clubs
and societies hurt woman either individ-
ually or in relation to society? Indeed
no, on the contrary they aid and inn
prove her"
Civilization has nothing to fear from
the new woman" for she aspireS to an
intimate acquaintance with all that con-
Germs society. She intends no vain
glorying in her advancements, no office
seeking, except where she can improve
ON the workings of man." Mir. Bryan
saws there is much more fear to bc antic-
ipated from the "old man." who elevates
his nose whenever he secs woman
brave enough and energetic enough to
earn her own living and keep in touch
with the world, than from the ''new wo-
man! The husband, brother an! child
are better off and happier when the wife.
mother and sister have in addition to
affection, education and business capac-
ity. Mr.. Bryan remarks again that the
world needs women's brain as well as
mems, end even more does she need
women's conscience. Mrs. Bryan is a
lawyer of great merit, and during her
husbands practice was of infinite aid 10
him. To say that wife is Il helrmoet Is
far more admirable than for her to he
beautiful and simply help eat.
No, Mr.. Gregory. YOU can rest perfectly
easy, there is no passing q woman'
and she is still wife, sister and mnthcr.
and can make just as nice pies as mother
did years ago. She can do more; she can
pay for the materials that constitute
those pies and leave "John' to wonder
how she manages to live 10 well on such
a small grocery bill! ~. .. t4S!EH.

Tobacco and Cigarettes.

Mr.. EDITOR:-I have been reading
"Whiskey and Pistols" from two writers
of your paper, by Clod Hopper and c. A.
p, which were fine, and I would suggest
to one of them to give us an article on
tobacco and cigarettes, which lesson is
much needed in all parts. I think the
worst thing for boy of sixteen to
eighteen years of age to do is to smoke
cigarettes. I have been to several places
where the boys would hardly get out of
church before lighting a cigarette, and
they would stand around and puff and
swear. 1t would not look as bad if they
would not smoke in the company of
young ladies.
I believe what young man told me.
He said that young man from sixteen
to eighteen never smoked in the week,
but saved his tobacco until Sunday shcn
he could get where some bige.6Wd could
see him.
When a haJ from twelve to eighteen
gets cigarette stuck between his fingers
and pistol in his back pocket he thinks
he is worth million dollars.
Now, young men, let tobacco and
cigarettes alone. But if you will smoke
get you cob pipe and get in the woods
where no one will see you.

Life in Kentucky.

Man born in the mountains of Ken
lucky is of feud days and full of virus.
He tisheth, fiddleth, cusseth and fingcreth
all the days of his life.
He shunncth the water rs q mad dog,
and drinkcth much mean whiskey.
When he dcsireth to raise Cain he
plantcth nciglbor, and 10! he reapeth
twentyfold. He riseth even from the
cradle to seek the scalp of his grandsires
enemy, and bringeth home in his carcass
the ammunition Of his neighbor's wifes
cousins uncle's father-in-law, who
avenged the deed.
Yea, verify, his life is uncertain, and
he knows not the hour when he may be
jcrkcd hence.
He goes forth on journey half shot
and cOmcth back on shutter shot.
He riseth in the night to let the cat
out, and it taketh nine doctors three days
to pick the buckshot out of him.
He gocth forth in joy and gladness
and coming back in scraps or fragments.
\ cyclone bloweth him into the bosom
of his neighbor's wife and his neighbor's
wifc'S husband bloweth him into Abra-
hams bosom before he hath time to cX-
plain.
He emrticd demiiohn into himself
and 4 shotgun into his enemy, and his
son licth in wait for him on election day,
and 10. the coroner plowcth up q forty
acre field to bury the remains Of that
man.
Woe, woe is Kentucky, for her eyes are
red with bad whiskey and her soil is
stained with the blood of the innocent
mo0nshincrs.
Kentucky, oh! Kentucky, how love
thy classic shades, where fit the fairy
figures of brighteyed Southern maids.
Where the birds are sweetly singing mid
the flowers newly born; where the corn
is full Of kernels and the Colonels full
of corn.

Government Exhibit Sure.

WASHENGToN, April S.-Drectur Gen
cral Avcrill, of the Charleston EXpoSi-
ton, accompanied by Senator McLaurin,
had half an hours interview with Tie
President this morning on the proposition
to have 4 Government exhibit displayed
at the Charleston Exposition. "You may
say for friends in Charleston that we in
tend to have a Government exhibit ut onr
EXpnsition." This confident statement
was made by Gen. Averill before he left
the White IIcuse after his interview with
the President: 1T is impossible at this
moment to 90 into all the details which
lead me TO express myself so cmphatical-
lv ON the subject, because there are GER
tain matters open for further considera-
ton which public discussion at this time
might not benefit. The President cx-
pressed himself deeply interested in the
success of the Charleston Exposition,
and expressed 4 willingness to lend his
assistance in having the Government
properly represented there, under certain
conditions. Senator McLaurin opened
this question for us, and having interest
ed the President and members of the
Cabinet in the enterprise, I am assured
that we will be able to comply with any
fair and reasonable conditions which
will enable us to secure the Government
exhibit. I am not prepared at this mo-
mcnt to discuss the subject of furnishing g
buildings and other apartments for the
care and transportation of the exhibits.
These are details which are yet to be
considered. expect to remain here two
or three days and with the assistance Of
Senator McLaurin we will confer with
the various members of the Cabinet in
tcrcSted and cndcavor to reach conclu-
sion which will be acceptable to the
Government as well as to the managers
of the Charleston Exposition. 1t may be
necessary for Senator McLaurin and my
self to 60 Buffalo to consult the officials
Of the exposition there relative to the
transfer This is about all that can
properly be said on the situation at
present, although I appreciate the fact
that our friends in Charleston would
only be too glad to have more detailed
statement. Under the present circum-
stances it would not be wise to indulge
in premature publication of our plans,
but I am safe in saying that we will
surely have Government exhibit at the
Charleston Exposition"

HOW TO TREAT BRUISES.

For an ordinary bruise such as re-
suits from an i'll directed hammer
or from a door shutting on ones fin
ger use a mild astringent Of some
sort, such as witch hazel or vinegar.
Keep the bruise constantly wet un-
til the pain ceases, using a bandage
of old muslin for wrapping. If the
pain is very intense, laudanum may
be added. After the pain has ceas-
ed and only discoloration and swell
ing remain to tell the tale it is a
good plan to apply a stimulating
liniment. This induces an extra
flow of fresh blood to the spot. In
the case of severe bruise the sup
ply of blood to the injured part
must be lessened by elevating it
above the heart and applying cold
water or even ice. Of course when
the bruise, or confusion rather, is
of such moment house remedies
should be INDUCED IN only while
waiting for doctor, a truth that
necessarily applies to all the various
emergencies that arise. In cases of
severe burns physicians are often
hampcred by the home remedies
that cover the burns and hide the
real extent Of the injury.

Denmark DOings.

DENMARK, April 9.-The dwelling
house of Senator s. G. Mayfeld was to-
tally destroyed by fire last Thursday
morning. Mr.. Mayfeld and his wife
were in the business part of the town at
the time and did not reach the scene of
destruction until the flames were rapidly
eating their way into the main building.
Friends and neighbors responded to the
alarm and did much toward confning
the fire to the burning building as well
as removing furniture and valuables from
the lower story. As usual, almost all of
the articles saved were more or less dam
aged. The cause of the fire was at
tributed to defective stove pipe flue.
The building was partially insured but
the loss is great. Mr. Mayfield has in
course of construction a temporary home,
which will relieve his family of present
Inconvenience, and will erect in the
near future commodious dwelling ON
the most desirable part of his Denmark
plantation. The community extends
sympathy to Mr. Mayfeld and his family
with the hope that in short time an
other hospitable home will take the place
of the one thus destroyed.
Easter services at the Methodist church
last Sunday were impressive. Rev. Mr..
Stokes preached very striking sermon,
interspersed with excellent Illustrative,
logical argument. Rev. Fl. B. Browne oc-
cupied the pulpit in the afternoon. The
singing during the afternoon services
was exceptionally beautiful. A sacred
chorus rendered by Misses Lola Rice,
Nell Evans, Nettie May Rice and Mr..
William Riley, was highly enjoyed by
the entire congregation. Miss Lola Rice
sang "The Christ is Risen" very compass
sionately, and as usual, her soul earnest
ness and exemplary Christian character
re-echoed in the inspired bosoms of her
attentive listeners. Miss Annie Elwell,
a young lady of rare musical talent, fur
niShed instrumental music.
Plans for the approaching district con-
ference have been perfected, and nothing
will be left undone in order that visiting
preachers and friends may feel that they
are thrice welcome.
Sensational developments are about to
be revealed to the public laying bare the
numerous robberies and general devil
ment committed and perpetuated in this
town and community during the past
twelve months. Possibly some honest
fathers and pure mothers may have to
gaze upon the recklessneSs of their
thoughtless. wayward sons
Quite number of Danes are attending
court at the county seat this week.
Cotton planting is being given the
right of way on the farms. J.

Taking Other PEOPLES Mail.

Those persons who have been in the
habit of taking other peoples mail from
the postoifice and failing to give it to the
one to whom it is addressed, or return it
to the postotfice, had better be little
careful They are laying themselves
liable to severe punishment.
The new postotlice ruling has just gone
into effect, imposing fine of $500, or
one years Imprisonment, on any one
who, through carelcssness or otherwise,
takes mail not belonging to them from
the postoflice and fails to return it imme-
diately. This applies to newspapers as
we'll as to letters and other valuable mail.
People when taking their mail from the
Office should examine it before going out
of the building. 1t will only take mo-
mcnt and will save great deal Of
trouble Te-say it was the postmaster's
fault will cut no figure under this ruling
1t will be your fault if you don't return
it, and YOU will be the one to suffer

SUBSTITUTE FOR REFRIGERATORS.

There are times when the house
hold gods are set up in places
where refrigerators, cold rooms and
cellars are not possible. In such
cases human ingenuity has sur
mounted the lack of all these and
found ways and means of keeping
food. The following suggestions
may be helpful if they are needed:
If there is a convenient spring or
well, butter may be kept cool and
palatable by being hung in the wa
ter. Put it first in jar or bowl
and stand this in a tightly covered
pail. If the spring is deep one,
lay a strong limb or stick across the
top and with a stout cord fasten the
bail of the pail to this. Milk can be
treated the same, and watermelon
never tastes so we'll as when cooled
in the water.-Mary Graham in
Woman's Home Companion.

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
A Few Simple but Useful Rules
For WaShday.

Try washing red table linen in
water in which a little borax has
been dissolved.
Add a few drops of ammonia to
the blue water to whiten the clothes.
Clothes turned right side out,
carefully folded and sprinkled, are
half ironed.
Sprinkle salt on a wine stain and
pour hot water through it until it
is gone.
Wet fruit stains with alcohol or
pour boiling water through them.
Kerosene may be safely used with
boiling water to whiten yellow
clothes. The quantity required is a
tablespoonful to each gallon Of suds.
For very yellow or grimy things
make an emulsion of kerosene, clear
limewater and turpentine in equal
parts. Shake them together until
creamy, then add a cupful to a boil
erful of clothes and boil for half an
hour.
The same emulsion is good for
very dirty articles, such as jumpers,
overalls, working shirts, children's
trousers. Use it in conjunction with
strong sud-, as hot as the hand can
bear, and rub a little upon the spots
that are dirty and grease spots. Let
the clothes stand five minutes be-
fore washing out, and be sure to
have the second suds and the rims
ing water as hot as the first.
If coffee is spilled on linen, the
stains can be removed by soaking
the part in clear cold water, to
which little borax has been added,
for 10 hours.
If the stain is from. tea or fruit,
do not put the article in cold water,
or the stain will become set; SIM
ply pour boiling water over it until
it disappears, which it will do If
quite fresh.

The Columbia State says: "If precedent
counts for anything, none but statesmen
bearing gifts-either of commission OF
omission-need expect the vote of
Charleston. ** Political Charleston has
adopted an ancient platform in four
words: Good Lord! Good Devil" And
so has every other part of the State, Rich
land county included. Communities,
like individuals, can generally be depend
ed upon to look out for the dollars. If
we mistake not, Stanyarne Wilson led in
the congressional race of 1898 in Rich
land county, also that he was working for
q government appropriation for the Con-
garee river. Evidently the appropria-
tion failed to materialize, for the county
went against him in 1900.
