BAIL NOT GRANTED.

The habeas corpus proceedings
recently instituted by attorneys
Of r. B. Tenyson, who in June,
1901. was convicted of the mur-
der of Morris Drees, and who
since that time has been in jail
awaiting a new trial, which was
granted by the supreme court,
came to a conclusion last Mon
day, at which time the writ was
finally disposed of by Judge Ste-
vens, of West Point, who declined
to giant it on the ground that the
law had not been fully complied
with, in as much as no reason
was given by Chancellor Byrd,
who issued the writ, for not hav-
in made the same returnable be-
fore him.
Gen. E. t. Sykes appeared for
the prosecution and made the
above stated point, which was
sustained by the court.

THE SUMMER GIRLS COMPLEXION.

GA good complexion is not TO be had
for the asking" says Priscilla Wake
field in the August Delineator, in an
swer to a girl who complains that all
compilations do not take kindly 10 the
suns rays. ''The first requisites for
clear skin are fresh air, exercise, reg
ular bathing, careful diet and plenty of
sleep. Eat fruit and vegetables, drink
milk, and take a generous quantity of
water between meals and before retiring,
two glasses each time. Avoid candies,
pastry, pickles. hot bread, tea and coffee.
Take bath every day and rub the body
well with rough towel. Wash the face
carefully and never with very cold wa
ter. Wipe with soft towel, rubbing
up and not down. If very tired or over
heated, wash the face with water al
most hot and containing little glycer-
inc. A lather of CASTLE soap rubbed in
we'll win remove dust and perspiratiOn
from the pores of the skin. The soap
must be rinsed off thoroughly. A good
remedy for sunburn is to bathe the face
with a mixture of sliced cucumber soak
ed in milk. A mixture of lemon Juice,
pure borax and powdered sugar is ex-
cellent for freckles, or a combination Of
our cream and finely grated horse ~ad-
ish. Rose-water and elder-flo water
are beneficial in softening the skim

IT is to be regretted that SO
many men are connected with the
press who feel called upon to use.
when speaking of prominent pub
lie men, harsh and undignified
language. Just like school boys,
they express their contempt for
these public characters by calling
them names and nicknames. This
is a clear indication that charges
cannot be maintained or sus-
tanned; food for argument is
wanting, or that the newspaper
is being used as vehicle for
venting ire, that would other
wise remained bottled up. Re-
spectacle people and gentlemen
may indulge in such methods, but
ordinarily it is clear indication
of i'll breeding and lack of gen.
uine gentility. Neither is it ac-
cepted by the public as proper
ground of opposition and makes
the indulger in such methods
more or less contemplate in the
public estimation. The more
courteous and considerate a man
can be, even in speaking of his
enemy, or the man he effects to
dispise, the more influence he will
have with his listener or reader.
The above from the West Point
Leader is correct. No man ever
made a point by abuse. Thelan-
guage used by some newspapers
in criticising officials create a
sympathy for the official and a
disgust for the writer.

THE NEW CHURCH.

A committee consisting of Rev.
T. w. Lewis and Rev. E. P.
Craddock has been calling upon
the merchants and business men
of the city during the past few
days for the purpose of soliciting
donations to the fund for the
erection of the new Methodist
church in Robertson's addition.
The lot on which the church is
to be built has already been pur-
chased, and its erection will be
undertaken just as soon as the
committee secures sufficient funds
to justify the undertaking.

WANT A CURFEW LAW.

Some of the citizens of the city
who have young sons growing
up are endeavoring to prevail up
on the city council to pass cur
few law compelling all young
men under eighteen years of age
to be at home at nine O'Clock
every night. The gentlemen who
are at the head of the movement
all have young sons who are just
entering manhood's estate, and
they claim that such law would
materially assist them in controll-
ing their boys.
The curfew law is one which
has been tried by many munich
palities with varying degrees of
success, but the concensus of
opinion seems to be that wherev-
er it was rigidly enforced that the
moral status of the community
has been materially improved.
The city council meets tonight,
but as the meeting is for the
special purpose of discussing the
new city hall and school house,
the proposition to enact curfew
law cannot come up, but will
probably be considered at the
next regular meeting, which oc-
ours on the first Tuesday in Au-
gust.

The Democratic party was a
great party, great in leadership
and great as an advocate of sound
political principles, in the days of
Seymour, Tilden, Randall, Thur
man and Herman. They were
truly great men, and they were
great leaders and statesmen.
The past should be forgiven, the
words of vituperation and abuse
that have lately characterized the
differences in the party should be
discarded and abandoned, and
generous and liberal sentiments
should efface the acrimonv that
recently inspired the two factions
of the party. This is the part of
good sense and judgment, if it is
expected to accomplish anything
in the politics of the country.
The mud -throwers must retire

was a native of North Carolina,
the mother of fifteen children, ten
of whom are surviving. Two
sons, Clark and Howard, are
aged 80 and 90 years respectively.
The records of the family are
well authenticated, and the hus-
band of "Aunt Polly" who died
more than twenty years ago, was
116 years of age.
"Uncle SAM" Hanslow, Co.
piah county negro, died at Halle
hurst a few days since at the ad-
vanced age of SO years. He was
a South Carolina negro and
served as a Confederate soldier
during the civil war. Since that
time he has been a consistent
democrat, and died as he had
lived, an honest, Christian man
who had the respect and conf
dence of all who knew him.
