Alabama Jury System.

Montgomery, Ala, July s.-Thes
constitutional convention today, after:
an animated debate, decided not to.
change the present jury system, which
guarantees the right of trial by jury.
The pending question was on section
u of the proposed constitution, which
is arousing great interest all over the
State. An amendment by the minority:
that three-fourths of a jury shall find.
a verdict in civil cases was the princi-
pal cause Of contention. Long, Of
Walker, opposed the amendment. He:
said it was brought up by men hostile
to corporations. who wanted to get
big damages out of them.

That typical Southerners seldom
have gout in their lower extremities
is explained thus by Victor Smith in
the New York Press: The moment one
sits down he looks about for some OBJ
ject upon which to elevate his feet,
usually resting them on chair or
window sill, if indoors, OF the balus-
trade if on the porch or piazza. Now,
the location of gout being simply a
question of specific gravity, it does
not descend to the feet because of this
habitual elevation. If it should get
there it would be obliged to climb.
Englishmen keep their feet plastered
right down on the ground or floor at
all times, as if afraid of letting some
thing get away from them. They
have gout in their feet in consequence.

SUMTER SHIRT MANuFAcTuRlka co.
Began Business Tuesday and Has Bright
OutIook for Success.

The special order department OF the
ESumter Shirt Mfg Co. opened Tuesday
and the factory is ready for BUSINESS.
The factory will make standard quail
ity of shirts for working men and will
sell the output to jobbers.. The special
order department. will make shirts to
order Of any material that the Gus
toner may select and in any style.
The work will be done by experienced
workmen and every article will be
guaranteed perfect insofar as work
manship, flt and finish are concerned.
The factory occupies the second floor
Of the Pierson building on Main Street,
adjoining the Cout House square, and
is well equipped with all necessary
machinery and appliances for doing
first class work in the promptest man
ner.
The factory begins business with
only eight or ten hands, but the enter
prise will be pushed by energetic and
progressive men who will endeavor to
make and put on the market the best
shirts to be purchased anywhere at
prices that will be just a little cheaper
than competitors and in this way
build up a trade Of large proportions
that will necessitate the regular em-
ployment of large force of work
men. If hard work, progressiveness
and knowledge of the business will
bring success the Sumter Shirt Mfg.
Co., should prosper from today onward
and with the support of the local
trade at the start when the enterprise
stands most in need Of patronage, while
the outside trade is being built up,
this newest of the city's enterprises
will succeed.
The several manufacturing enterprises
that have been most successful and
that have done the most for Sumter
started on as modest a scale as the
Shirt Mfg. Co., and we have seen
them grow in magnitude and in capital
until today they are pointed to with
pride by all citizens. Small and numer-
Gus and diversified manufacturing en-
terprises do more for a place than one
or two big factories and are more to
be desired, for they, each and every one,
contain the germ of great industries
and with time and good management
they grow into large prosperous con-
Germs. Sumter, more than any other
place in this State, has departed from
the beaten path and has number
OF manufacturing establishments that
are growing and prospering, and that
do not have to meet the active com
petition of many other concerns in the
same line of business located in the
same territory, as do the cotton mills.
The Shirt Factory is an addition to
the city,s industrial life and welcomed
by all public spirited and progressive
citizens. '

rnifor,n For Women.

\ Belgian artist. NJ. Van de Velde.
has been lecturing in Vienna on the
subject of women's dress. The lecturer,
as reported. reminds one of nothing so
much as the fitting of Don Quixote at
n windmill. NJ. Van de Velde seeming
ly would have been much better en-
ployed with the palette and canvas ex-
cept perhaps in so far as he gave harm
less pleasure to his audience. The
whole drift of the lecturers remarks
was in favor of uniformity. This comes
surely with an odd sort of grace from
the lips of one who is profesSedly n stu
dent of nature. One can well imagine
the ironical smiles on the faces of NJ.
Van de Nelde's hearers when he told
them that at public dinner or festival
the men with their symmetrical cloth
ing Showed more beauty than did the
ladies. The Belgian dress reformer
will be satisfied with nothing short of n
uniform toilet for women.-Philadel-

Good Coffee.

1t is said by the best authorities that
pots with more or less intricate interi-
ors no better coffee can be made in any
of them than in the common % cent tin
pot. But there is one important item
to remember: The cOffeepot of any style
must be bright and clean inside. Old
grounds standing in it or neglect to
rinse it clean and wipe 1t out will grad
ually cause muddy coffee in spite OF
good material or the best method of
making.
Coffee is either boiled or filtered. For
boiling it should be ground rather
coarse, but for filtering it should be
powdered. Breakfast coffee is usually
boiled. To one cup of ground coffee
add one egg beaten with one-quarter
cup of cold water. Stir well together
and then pour over five cups of boiling
water. Stir and set where il will come
to n boil. Let IL boil for three minutes,
then draw to the cooler part of the
range. Pour in one-quarter cup of cold
water and let it stand ten minutes to
settle. 1t may then he strained into n
silver pot which has been heated by
filling 1t with boiling water.
For after dinner or black coffee make
a boiled coffee of double strength or use
one cup Of pulverized coffee and pour
three cups of boiling water over it, one
half cup at a time. Never allow filtered
coffee to boil.

Pen Picture of the One In SAN Fran

In one corner Is 4 miniature wooden
warrior, frantically riding fiery steed
toward n joss who stands in his door
way awaiting the riders coming. y
teapot Of unique design, filed with
fresh tea every day, and 4 very small
cup and saucer are always ready for
the warrior. This represents 4 man
killed in battle. whose noble steed,
missing his master, refused to eat and
so pinned away and died. 4 welcome
is assured to them in the better
land if the work of man can accom-
plish il. The horse and rider are to
them the Chinese what the images Of
saints are to Christians. In another
corner is n tiny bowl of water. The
gods occasionally come down and
wash. At certain times of the year di-
rect questions are written on slips of
paper and put into the hands of one
of the greatest josses. These disap-
pear, and then the joss either mods or
shakes his head in answer.
On the altar or affairs are several
brass and copper vessels, in which the
worshiper- leaves Il sandalwood punk
burning in such a position that the
ashes will fall on the fine sand in the
vessel. When one of these is full, IL is
emptied into an immense bronze vase
on the balcony, and this, in turn, is
emptied into the ocean. The Chinese
take good care of their living and new
er forget their dead. Once year, the
fourteenth day of the seventh month,
they have a solemn ceremony by which
they send gold and silver and cloth to
the great army of the departed.
A furnace is a necessity in a joss
house. 1t is lighted on ceremonial
days, and paper representing cloth.
gold and silver is burned, the ashes of
the materials being, in their minds,
useful in spirit land. Private families
send to their relatives and friends
whatever they want by throwing the
gold, the silver and the cloth paper,
also fruits, into a fire built in the street
in front of their houses. The days of
worship come on the LIST and 18th of
each month.-Modern Culture.

Hanging Pictures.

An old rule for hanging pictures was
that water colors. black and whites and
oils should not be hung in the same
room, but this rule is rarely regarded
now. 1t is, however. inartistic to see
them arranged in the same group, and
a little care will easily avoid it. 1t has
come to be pretty well understood that
pictures should not be hung on a level,
though this rule does not mean that
there should be no symmetry or plan in
their grouping. Too heavy pictures
should not top very light one. \ natu-
raj sense of proportion must be regard
ed. With this general idea in mind
square, oblong and oval pictures may
be satisfactorily arranged, always pre-
missing that the pictures are worth
hanging in any event. Some of the
modern bargain counter art depart
ments have to answer for serious sins
of taste.

annually by the latter city in the
care of them and the setting cut of
new ones. Every street of certain
width is entitled to row of trees on
either side, every street of a certain
greater width to double row. The
criticism has been made that the
Paris method results in too great
uniformity, but as Charles milford
Robinson, author of a new book en-
titled. The Improvement of Towns
and Cities" says, 1t will always be a
question of taste between Journalism
and naturalism. The cities Of
Italy sometimes go further than
Paris in the direction of form
alism, trimming their trees to
fantastic shapes. For us probably
the best system is a happy medium
between monotonous symmetry and
the haphazard arrangement so much
in vogue on this side of the Atlantic.
Viewed merely from the aesthetic
standpoint, there is every reason why
our American cities should give great
CT attention to tree planting. In the
year 1900 no less than 1000 trees
were planted in New York City under
the auspices of the tree planting So
ciety of that city. Some complaint
has arisen over the deadly effect of es-
Gaping gas upon the roots. but very
few trees. comparatively. have per-
ished from this cause.
Cities like Rock Island should give
more attention to tree planting and
protection as q part Of the general
scheme of attractive appearances
We have some beautiful parks. We
need more progress in the same di-
rection. We need boulevards in the
resident portions where such i'm
provements have not yet been made.
Nature aided by human taste and
skill should do part in the beautify-
ing of modern cities.

A srRIKE ZOE a PKINoIPLE.

Twenty Thousand men in the en-
ploy of the sheet steel trust are on a
strike, but they do not ask for in
creased wages or less hours. They
simply ask that the shops recently
absorbed by the trust be unionized
and the employees thereof receive the
same wages as are paid in union
ships. The trust declines, notwith-
standing that it was organized to
control prices and limit the output.
Why. then, should it oppose the men
in its employ who have com bined to
enforce the payment of living wages?
If 1t is right for capital to combine to
control prices, why is it wrong for Ia
Dor to combine to control wages? The
cost of living has increased, without
apparent increase in wages. Yet rich
men are growing richer and if the
poor are not becoming poorer they
certainly are not lettering their con-
dition. The volume of money has
largely increased, but the accumu-
lations have gone mainly to the small
minority.
Capital. and particularly trust cap
ital. ought, in all reason, bear these
facts in mind. 1t should not oppose
every effort of the laboriDg man to
better his condition. The instances
wherein labor has secured an advance
in pay without resorting to a strike
are few.
Great corporations whose profits
are enormous should be willing to
allow the worker a fairer share in
these profits. Fairness will stop dis
