SHIRT WAIST LINENS.
Iixht and serviceable Materials
That Are In Favor for the
z Present Season.

Nothing in dress is much more dain-
ty than the shirt waist in sheer linens
and batistes and fine, thin silks so pref
tily embroidered and hemstitched.
Shirt waists of some sort have be-
come one of the necessities of dress,
and now they have grown into shirt
waist suits, making distinctive cos
tune quite apart from any other style
of dress. These are blossoming out in
some different material from time to
time and you see them in foulard'
chambrays, madras, dimities, tatfeta
silks, mercerized cheviots, and more
than all in linens, says fashion au-
thority.
This is . most useful costume, an
swering many purposes-for travel
Ing, outdoor sports and general morn
ing wear-and apparently it has some
significance beyond usefulness, mas
much as it shows the tendency to-
ward entire gowns, instead of tho
separate waist, which is entirely diff
ferent in material from the skirt.
However, it is simply another way
of trying to GUST the separate waist
Many plans have been tried before,
but with no results, except to cause
women to put higher value upon its
advantages. So. q. as
In place of the flannel waist worn
in cool mornings, there are some
pretty dotted velveteen blouses. The
material is very light weight and has
a sort of pressed finish which gives 1t
gloss. ...,..
These waists must be mode by
men if you would have them smart,
yet women are not to be ignored in
this class of work, as the men waist
makers are not infallible, by any
means. r
Women with plenty of money to
spend on clothes have a fad for COL
lecting odd waists, and buy any
thing and everything which strikes
their fancy just to crafty their de
sire for pretty things. And this il
no small item of expense, since the
waists may cost anywhere from five
dollars to $75 for the dainty hand-en'
broidered cobwebhy things brought
over from Paris. Much of the enl
broidery is done here, however, but
that does not lessen the price much
If any at all.
The fad of. last season for EN-
broidered monograms on the left side
of the bust is revived again, and 8
very popular one it is among those
who care to have something indi
vidual about their waists. Colored
floss is used on the white waists, and
young women sometimes have their
monograms embroidered in black.
For some unaccountable reason
they affect black and white very
much this season in the costumes and
hats as well. Perhaps it is the only
way they can achieve any youthful
distinction in dress, as the older
women have appropriated all the col
ors to their use. But whatever may
be the motive, it is a fact that black
and white is conspicuous in the
young girls summer outfits.

John M. Wise, in Chester Lantern,
1t will soon be time for our
county campaign to begin and for
men, wishing to represent US in
the Legislature, to announce their
candidacy, and it is only fair that
we should have some expression
from such candidates on the lien

greater part of our hard times to

OF its workings to know that it ia

this state This law in my opin-
ION is the greatest curse ever put
upon the people of this state and
allowed to remain there by a
body Of intelligent men. Its bad
effect can be seen in almost every
business, but more especially in
the farming business.
The present law was passed
more than 16 years ago, but has
been amended many times and
the people for whose benefit it
was made have been getting poor

force. The more amendments it
mas the poorer they, or rather we,
get, for the country generally is
getting In the same condition,
with the exception of merchants
and few other men with money
who are able to take advantage
of the opportunities the law pre-
sents. They, however, are not to
be blamed for making the best
of these opportunities. The fault
is not with them, and l am not
trying to place it there, but with
this law. 1t was passed princi-
pally for the benefit of the farm

Not long ago there was a most

and also of great eccentricity had

He bought big safe and had 1t
placed In neighboring cemetery.
1t was the mans custom to paw
periodical visits to the cemetery
and inspect, and even open and
enter, the queer tomb which he
chosen for himself. One winters
day, when he was thus grimlv
sitting inside the safe while a
wind storm was raging outside,
gust slammed to the door, and he
found himself a prisoner. Sud
denly that tomb, which he had 80
gloated over, lost all attractions
for him, and he called aloud In
terror for help and threw himself
against the door OF the safe. He
might as well have thrown him.
self against a rock, and as to his
cries, the rushing and the roaring
of the wind drowned them.
Some hours later, when the
wind had gone down, a passer by
thought he heard sounds coming
from the safe. He did not wait
to investigate; it might be
ghost for all he knew, but ran q nd
told the people in the village,
who came in body to confront
whatever might be crying for
help In the cemetery. When they
became convinced that some liv-
ing thing was inside the safe it
was opened, and the rich man
was found lying on the floor of
his steel prison in the last stages
of exhaustion, with almost every
particle Of clothing torn from his
body In the agonies and despair
OF an imprisonment which had so
nearly meant death.

strong room of the bank, and
nearly died from the effects of it.
he was on the point of leaving
the bank after the closing hours
when his eyes fell upon a bundle
of notes which he had forgotten
to place in the vault. He stepped
inside the strong room to stow
away the notes when the cashier,
not knowing he was there, closed
and locked the door before the
clerk realized the situation and
went away leaving the young
man to his fate.
In vain the clerk shouted and
kicked at the unyielding door.

suit, but nevertheless the result
of it.
The evil effect in this direction
may easily be seen In this one
illustration: A man having land
to be worked, not having the
money or supplies with which to
work it, and not wanting to bor-
row 1t, valves a practice far
worse than borrowing-his right

enough of this to know what the
result is when the account is due.
some times-and it was MANY
times last year-the merchants
find the debt side of the account
much larger than the credit side.
Some lien law defender will
say all this is due to the failure
In crops. Pll admit that this has
a great deal to do with it, but we
have not always had bad crops
and cases like this have occurred.
And, too, it has driven away all
effort Of some to raise grain, corn,
hay and fodder sufficient to sup
ply themselves for a year, Just
simply trying to raise cotton with
which to pay a debt obtained by
giving a lien for the provisions
that should be raised instead of
so much cotton. 1t has driven

not being as fortunate as some
others, have to depend on their

<coRRECT STATISTICS.

Mr.. William H. Stewart, Of Rock Hill,
has been appointed a local special
agent of the census office to collect
cotton-ginning statistics for this coun-
ty, and we join the government IN
urging the ginners to give Mr.. Stewart
their hearty support and cooperation
thus enabling him to make prompt and
accurate returns. We would impress
upon the ginners the fact that this
agent Is sworn officer Of the govern
ment, and that their reports are for
warded as given to him directly to the
census office at Washington, without
passing through the hands Of any mid
dlemen. The information given is held
as strictly confidential, and the opera
tions of individual ginners are not d.
vulged. Upon the joint cooperation OF
the cotton growers, the ginners and To-
cal agents must depend the success of
the census office in this inquiry, and
it's ability to render this great service
to the southern people and to all In
terested in the cotton staple.
The census office has demonstrated
in three annual reports, the fact that
the ginners are the only reliable source
of information as to the volume of the
annual cotton crop. This Is very COM
plimentary to the ginners, who, no
doubt, will feel pride in sustaining
the reputation earned.
In recognition Of this interest shown
by the ginners, and Of general demand
for more frequent reports through this
source, congress, in the act creating
permanent census office, provided for
the collection and publication Of these
statistics at intervals during the gin
ming season. For the crop of 1902 the
office will issue three reports; the first
two will cover the quantity of cotton
ginned up to and including OCTOBER lS
and December 13, respectively; and the
final report will cover the total quan-
tity ginned from the growth Of 1902.
Realizing that the collection OF the
data for these reports is made at sea-
son when the ginners time Is greatly
taxed, and appreciating the necessity
for prompt returns, the census office
has located, in each county contain
ing ten or more ginneries, an agent,
who will visit each ginnery In the
county and secure report of the guam
tity Of cotton ginned up to certain
dates. In undertaking the frequent and
hurried reports now sought, it Is OF
vital Importance that the returns be
made with absolute uniformity, and
that all be received at Washington at

The Fairness Of 1t.

The story of the cause of the coal
strike published elsewhere in this issue,
is interesting as illustrating the fact
that the miners are unjust and unfair
as well as the operators.
According to this story, it will be seen
that the miners who made from $6 to
$40 a day were unwilling to pay their
helpers but 50 a day, and that the
strike was probably caused not so
much by the dissatisfaction of the min
ers with their wages, as by the dissat-
isfaction of the helpers at the pay they
were receiving.
1t seems that not only have the min
ers a union for the purpose Of organ
lied contest with the operators; but the
helpers have a union to represent their
interest with the miners. This indi-
Gates that just as miners have to COM
pei fairness from the operators, so also
do the helpers have to compel fairness
from the miners, and that, as matter
of fact, the miners are hardly more
sympathetic with regard to those less
fortunate than are the operators.
There is a well-established maxim,
requiring that he who asks for justice
must first do justice in order that he
may come into court with clean hands,
and this maxim no doubt applies with
