A REAL CASE OF FLUNKEYIsM

We have made no criticism of
the proper and dlgnifed ceremo-
MES arranged for the entertainment
of Prince Henry of Prussia. We
have not sympathized with the far
fetched charges of funkeyism
against those who join in courteous
treatment of so distinguished a
guest, a prince though he be.
But we do feel our gorge rise
somewhat at the particularly with
which the press reports of the
millionaires' lunc heon to Henry
dwell upon the fashion in which
the walters for the occasion we're
gotten up. More important de-
tails were sacrificed in order that
the nation may know that these
platter-pushers we're diked out in
corded coats, waistcoats with IN
visible buttons, black plush small
clothes, gold buckles and black
stockings! All this minuteness in
describing the attire of the man
behind-the- guest chair may be inn
portant in New York, but we fail
to see why such buffers room rot
should be imposed upon the press
and people of the entire country.
1t would have been intensely in
teresting had it related to the cos
tume-de luncheon of j. Pierpont
Morgan, for instance. If he had
appeared with a stock and lace
frills flowing down from his throat
latch, with a wine colored claw
hammer, a crimson velvet and vel
low plush knickerbockers, diamond
buckles at the knees and red opera
hose-now that would have been a
sartorial sensation worthy of pre-
else and panoramic reporting

monarch. He is the biggist king

EFFECT OF GOOD AND EVIL AS.
SOCRATES.

The effect of good associates are
very wonderful to the rising gen
Grafton. They direct us to all
benefits of life that may be oene-
fetal to us. All of this should be
placed in our young hearts while
tender. When properly planted
in our hearts the culture is easy,
and the harvest is great. Trials
and troubles may occur, but by
correct training in our youth it
prepares us to overcome all these
disturbances. We can always OBJ
tain something of some benefit
from good associates. They will
always direct us in the way that
we may be of great use along the
warpath of life, Our associates
should be easy told, for you or [
can tell good workman by his
shavings. Little boys and girls,
we should study a great deal about
our company we keep or ought to
keep. When weare taught right, we
should heed and obey and great
will be our reward. | hope there
will be none of us when we become
grown men or women, can look
back and see that we have wander
ed from our childhood training.
We should watch as we Journey
along through life. The HOLY
Bible says watch and PRAY I,
Evil associates cannot be comp9 4
to anything that is a likeness X
more than Satan himself. 81
They will lead and decoy ug is
Satan will. We are taught this
by the word of God. Evil associ-s
ates will tell US there isn't aTsy
harm in doing great many thi2aoe'}
and if we don't watch our asst
ates we will be on the downward
road to destruction and then after
they have ruined us they will point
the finger of scorn at us. Little
boys and girls, let us heed togthis
before it is too late. After to-day
has passed we cannot call it back.
If we are following evil associates
that is time wasted. Evil associ-
ates will come to us in sheep's
clothing and at heart they are raw
ing lions. If we will allow them
they will deceive us in many ways.
If we are taught right they will
try to make us think it is false.
But take warning and shun their
words. Their words should be
blown out as ehaff is blown before
the wind. Little boys and GIRLS.
if we would apply to this rule
there would be better men and
women. Evil associates may be
compared to nothing more than a
fast going train to destruction. If
we get on this train it will soon
carry us to our destiny. Let us
heed before il is entirely too late.
Shnn evil companions.
Bad language disdain,
Look ever to Jesus,
He will carry you through.

day, II regard it as an outrage on
the people Of South Carolina and
on the whole United States"
The Senate held very brief ses-
sions on Tuesday and wednesday,
no business being transacted, and
it is hoped that the Committee on
Rules and Privileges will report
tomorrow in favor of some action
that will be acceptable to both par
ties.
The Republicans who have been
inclined to speak with derison of
the alleged lack of harmony in
Democratic ranks are realizing the
position of people who live in glass
houses this week for the Republican
members of the House are present
ing sad spectacle in their division
over the question of Cuban reci-
procity. The Republican members
of the Ways and Means Committee
adopted a resolution favoring a
concession of 20 per cent of the
Dingley tariff rates in return for
similar concessions from Cuba and
determined to submit their decision
to q caucus. The caucus met on
Tuesday evening and no sooner
had Chairman Payne read a bill
which he had prepared in accord
ance with the conclusions arrived
at, than half Of the members pres
ent were on their feet and pande-
monium was let loose. A counter
bill was presented by Representa-
tive Towney of Minnesota which
provided that 20 per cent of the
duties collected on imports from
Cuba should be paid into the Cuban
Treasury and, of that amount, all
that had been collected on Cuban
sugar and tobacco should be re
turned by the Cuban government
to the growers of those products.
After a bitter controversy which
lasted until nearly midnight the
caucus adjourned until next Mon
day evening.
Iasked q Democratic member of
the Ways and Means Committee If
he would vote for 20 per cent
reduction on reciprocal lines, yes

gard reciprocity as a chimera in

Prince Henry, of Prussia, visit
ed Washington on Monday and re-
turned to the city this morning.
He was present in the Senate when
Senator Bailey was making the i'm
passioned appeal above referred to
and appeared to take a great IN
terest in the proceedings. So in
tense was the feeling in the Senate
that the informal reception that
had been planned was dispensed
with. The Prince viewed the
House of Representatives from the
diplomatic gallery and then re-
ceived most of the members in the
room of the Ways and Means
Committee. Today he will be pre-
sent at the Joint session when Sec
rotary Hay will pronounce the eu-
logy on President Mckinley and
will then 60 to Mount Vernon to

ton.
Prince Henry and his suite at
tended the Mckinley memorial
services at the Capitol and at their
conclusion made a flying trip to
pay tribute to the memory of the
Father of His Country at Mount
Vernon.
The Prince journeyed to Mount
Vernon and placed two wreaths on
the tomb of Washington. He APP
proched the grave of the first pres
dent with barred head and that
there might be nothing irreverent
in the ceremony, asked the holders
of dozen cameras who stood
around to refrain from photo,
graphing him.
PLACING THE WREATHs.
The royal visitor and his party
were taken to Mount Vernon by
special train. When the iron gate
of the tomb was opened he re-
moved his cap and entered. Two
large wreaths made at Washing
ton by his order already had been
sent to the tomb, and taking them
up, he formally set them in place.
A group of over a hundred men
that stood in the approach to the
grave uncovered and that, with
their silence, added to the spirit of
solemnity.
Fifty feet down the sward that
falls away from the tomb Prince
Henry planted a Linden tree. The
tree had been set in place prior to
his arrival and, taking spade, the
Prince filled the earth in around
it's roots.
The Prince was taken to the old
Washington home. He spent a
few minutes in looking at the
Washington relics and then depart
ed for WASHINGTON.

Almost Killed Sy Ants.

jackson, Miss, June 3-Mr. L. F.
Anderson. one of the most prominent
cotton buyers in this section of the
State, came near being killed yester-
day afternoon by ants.
Mr. Anderson was in his flower gar
den cutting grass with grass blade,
when ho stuck the end into an ant
nest and in some unaccountble way
knocked about million of the vicious
littel insects in his face and down his
collar Wherever they stuck they
struck and proceeded at once to bust
ness. Mr.. Anderson brushed and
knocked at them, but it seemed to do
no good, and he ran for the house,
where he tainted.
Neighbors hearing the disturbance
ran to his assistance, tore his clothes
from him and soused him in bath
tub, into which strong ammonia wa
ter had been poured by his wife. Mr..
Anderson regained consciousness in
five or six minutes, thought he was
going to die, told his family good-by
and tainted aga-2. He was soon
brought around, however, and under
the care of his physician, who had
been hastily summoned, was soon put

nate man head and face swelled up
to twice it's normal size, and his neck
and hands looked like piece of raw
beef. In relating his very unusual
experience Mr.. Anderson states that
the pain from the innumerable stings
was indeScribable. and declares that
he thought he was going to die. No
such ant experience was ever before
heard of in this section.

the tariff at one cent for four ebarac-

take the risk of being the first fool,
