Mr.. John M. Caughman was in
town Friday, and in keeping with his
usual custom, after selling his first
bale of cotton, called and renewed
his subscription. He says Lis crops
are not as good this year as those OF
previous ones. He is good farmer
but cannot control the fall of the
rain and sunshine to suit the season.
Mrs. George D. McCartha died at
her home in this place last Saturday,
after few weeks illness, in the 44th

on Sunday. She was a Christian
lady Of bright experience and adorn-
ed her profession, was kind hearted
and greatly beloved by those who
knew her.

Titus, on the 17th day of last
August. He has also offered a S100

Applications for entertainment are
constantly coming in. Everything
points to a most successful meeting.

The enterprising clothing firm of
Leaphart & Drafts has just received
a complete line of fall clothing,
underwear, hats. shoes and gents

are the agents of the celebrated

teed as to fit and finish. Their

money and they promise not to be
undersold by any one.
The South Carolina Marble Works,
of Columbis, are the largest marble
and granite dealers in the South.
They do not claim that they are the
cheapest manufacturers, because
cheapness means shabby work and
this they do not do; but they do say
they will compete with any fair
dealer in the country. They also
handle splendid line of iron and
wire fencing, grave lot coping, etc.
When in need of anything in their
line, see Mr.. P. B. Edwards, of Lex
ington, or address the South Caro-
lima Marble Works at Columbia.

The average layman who may attend
any of the more conspicuous trials In
the civil or criminal courts Is usually
amused at first by the wrangles and
Tits of opposing counsel, but In the end
he becomes bored and wonders what
Is the point of all this furious recrlmi.
nation. Some light was shed on this
nmtter the other day by prominent
criminal lawyer, who said:
II never engage In any of these con.
trOversies without IN object. When
have witness who Is going along
swimmlngly and keeping his head
never mix 1t up with my opponent. but
when my witness begins to get ratified,
under cross-examination. for instance
I am pretty apt to interject a remark
that will bring retort from my learn
ed friend on the other side. One word
leads to another and In n jiffy we are
Mt 1t hammer and tongs until the court
stops us. Meanwhile my object Is ac-
complished. The witness mind IL di.
verted, he gets chance to recover him
self, and. II happen to have had the
better Of the argument. he feels re.
assured and his confidence Is restored"

CHAPTER NN,

Uncle David did not doubt Johns good
intent to keep his word about staying ut
home that evening. Nevertheless, he said
To himself:
Human nature Is weak, and the temp
tation Of love Is strong. had better
stroll over there after supper and keep
an eye on John for awhile"
That was, perhaps, all well enough; but
why should Uncle EXTRAORDINARY so
careless about his personal appearance
have taken SO much trouble In combing
and brushing his hair and beard, chang
ing his coat for Il better one and putting
on II smart nccktie? lie would hardly
have done so much by way of preparation
for attending u meeting of the elders OF
of the board of supervisors.
John aud his mother were still sitting
In the door, when he put In an appear
ance before them, and ut the farther end
of the porch, In front of the new eXten-
sion of the house, Miss Mary Elder oc-
cupied n rocking chair, enjoying her even
ing rest after busy day of work on Mrs.
Cameron's summer wardrobe. Seeing
that the widow and her son were In earn
est converse, the giant went up on the
porch and seated himself near the spin
ster, with the most casual, unpremedi-
tated and unconcerned manner he could
assume, quite unconscious that behind
him John was lifting his eyebrows with a
look Of surprised inquiry, to which Mrs.
Cameron replied by nod and knowing
smile.

sati0n, both Uncle David aud Mary spoke

IS SANTA TERESA A WITCh7
Peculiar Gift of Girl that Troubles
the Mexican Government.

the Mexican Government.
Sonora Teresa Urea Rodriguez,
known to the world us "Santa Teresa"
the title lovingly conferred upon her by
the Yaqui Indians, has gone to Europe,
perhaps only to make the grand tour"
or perhaps to try In secret her alleged
healing powers on some ailing member
Of Old-wOrld royalty.
For u decade now the fame Of this
dark-eyed young woman as q healer
Of physical Ills has spread from far
away Mexico, the land of her nativity,
northward and into and over the Uni
ted States.
She has been twice banished from
Mexico because, In the view OF the au-
th0rities of that country, the Yaqui In
dams have offered her an awe and af-
lection amounting to idOlatry ana caus
ing them to riot and disturb the peace.
After leaving Mexico she resided In
Arizona; then In San Francisco and
other places on the Pacific coast, and
last In st. Louis. In all of these places
she Is reputed to have made some won.
derful cures. Her method Is u simple
one, consisting of the laying on OF
hands, but there Is mystery surround
Ing 1t, because very few of her patients
among the fashionable people she has
treated are willing to make the results
public, or even to let 1t be known that
they have applied to her. She herself
Is very silent ana secretive, using gen
orally an Indianlnterpreter In her deal
ings, hut 1t Is believed that she has
been called to Europe In what might
be called professional way.
Santa Teresa Is the daughter of Il
Mexican ana IN Indian woman. She Is
2S years old, not pretty, but of Il com,
handing presence She says her first
realization of her powers of healing
came to her In n trance. She denies
that she ever melted her Indian wor.
slippers to go on the warpath, and II
does appear that when ordered to leave
them she always went quietly. Once,
however, her going caused the Ih,.,ans
to rise against the authorities, and she
was requested by the authorities to re.
turn. Then. when she came back and
the trouble subsidized, she was asked to
leave quietly, which she did.

In those days such a thing as train
