FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

Good garden soil Is good for pot
plants, but can be improved by the ad-
dition Of leaf mold
Weak rosebushes may often be made
to grow by giving them an occasional

One advantage with small fruits Is
that they can be made to furnish a

In planting a border don't plant every
thing in rows. A row Of hollyhocks,
for instance, isn't half as attractive as
irregularly placed groups that break
the outline.
With pot plants in general way too
little water is better than too much.
The dropping leaves indicating drought
are more easily remedied than yellow
leaves, the result Of being kept too
wet.
In preparing pots for plants the
pieces Of broken pots or crockery in the
bottom should never be omitted, as
without proper drainage the soil be-
comes sour, the plants languish and
the leaves become yellowish.

Roof Paint.

Mr.. w. T. Mixson, of Charleston, is in
town, introducing his celebrated "graphi-
lite roof coating. Mr.. Mixson is no
stranger in Bamberg, having been mana
ger for Baldwin & Garvin when that firm
: first opened their thinning and roofing
business here in 1891 in the store now
occupied by the Bowling Hardware Co.
He has made a study of roof paints, and
has been experimenting with them ever
since that time, and claims that "graphi-
lite" is as near perfection as it is possible
to make roof coating. He does not sell
his coating, but carries crew of painters
with him and has it applied under the
direction of man who is thoroughly
skilled in the art, and allows no chance
of adulteration by either dealers or paint
ers. The fact that the Southern Railway
Co. has adopted his coating for use ex-
clusiyely in its Southern territory should
be sufficient proof that it is good thing,
and we bespeak much success for him in
his old home.

"Not at aI," replied Schumann; "for

he is a very clever man, but he talks

years ago on my return from Paris l

without saying word. Faith, took
leave Of him almost Immediately. He

A Drunken Prisoners Excuse In I
New York Police Court.

A Drunken Prisoners Excuse In a
New York Police Court.
1t is characteristic Of almost all the
prisoners except the drunks that their
chief concern is 10 secure delay. They
plead and beg for an adjournment,
which they know will only postpone
tie inevitable for day or two, and
that although, through their inability
to obtain bail, they will have to stay in
prison just the same. The most plausi-
bic explanation is that they all are
fatalists, always hoping that something
unexpected may turn up to stave off
the impending catastrophe. The
drunks, on the other hand, are more
eager to face the arbiter Of their fates,
knowing that nothing worse than fine
is likely to befall them and that the
sooner it is imposed the sooner it may
be paid or served of. And thSn there
is the chance, If the mag1stl&A Is In
good humor, that they may get away
unscathed at once.
As rule, although not seldom still
in their cups, they are loath to make
any discriminating admissions. mo,

The Ariel Quartette.

The four young ladies composing this
company appeared at the Fitting School
chapel last Saturday evening and the
program given was really a high class
performance. The vocal solos and quar-
tettes were good, the recitations were
well rendered, and the violin playing
pleased the audience thoroughly. The
plastique poses were also much enjoyed.
Really, all the young ladies are artists in
their line, and the delight of the audience
with their performance was attested by
frequent and hearty encores. The Japan
ese fan drill and love song in costume
was clever number, and was something
out of the usual in such entertainments.
Those of our people who did not attend
missed a delightful evening, and it is to
be regretted that the attendance was not
larger 1t is probable that the course OF
entertainments arranged for the winter
will be discontinued on account of the
poor patronage.

SOOTHING SHOPPING.
A Peaceful Experience ut the Eus'
Morley General Emporium.


Morley General Emporium.
The exhausted shopper sank upon
the sofa, while from the open mouth
Of her reversed Boston bag poured q
cascade Of little parcels, freshly strug-
gled for at the Monday bargain coun-

"Oh," she cried, why does one have
to shop in the city? Everything is so
hurried. confused, complex, distractng
and nerve destroying! If We're only
back at East Morley!
Last summer while I was there /
had to buy yard Of dark blue ribbon,
and drove over to the one store at
the crossroads to get it. 1t took some
five minutes to convince the amiable
proprietor that l really wanted dark
blue and could not be persuaded to ac-
cept light instead, which he considered
more suitable and becoming to q fair
complexioned person Of my years; he
added reassuringly that anybody under
forty was not too young for baby blue.
Another five minutes were given up
to his incredulous reluctance to believe
that two inches wide would not do as
we'll as three, especially as the three
inch width had been mislaid on a top
shelf and be would have to get STEP
ladder to get it down. Several more
minutes passed In the search for the
ladder, its laborious portage from the
cellar, its erection and repair with a
piece Of twine, the braces being broken,
and his final ascent to the dim and
dusty upper region, whence the box Of
wide ribbons was at length produced.
II found q shade that would do, and
he leisurely measured of yard, fin
gered it, then paused to rub a per-
picked ear and smile ingratadngly.

This is the season of the year when the
prudent and careful housewife replen-

Remedy. 1t is certain to be needed be-

much more prompt and satisfactory when
it is kept at hand and given as soon as
the cold is contracted and before it has
become settled in the system. In almost
every instances severe cold may be ward

soon as the first indication of the cold
appears. There is no danger in giving it
to children for it contains no harmful

Recently wealthy merchant In Par.

drm in Yokohama had failed, but the
name Of the firm be could not learn,
though he was most anxious to ascer.
tain whether it was the one with which
he did most Of his business In that city.
He could have learned the truth by
cabling. but instead he went to the
man, a well known banker, who had
received the news and requested him
to reveal the name of the firm to him.
THAT'S q very delicate thing to do"
replied the banker. ''for the news is
not official. and If gave you the name
might incur some responsibility"
The merchant argued, but in vain,
and finally he made this proposition:
Il will give you," he said, "a list Of
ten firms in Yokohama, and I will ask
you to look through 1t and then to tell
me. without mentioning any name,
whether or not the name Of the firm
which has failed appears in It Surely
you will do that for meT'
"Yes." said the banker, ''for If I do
not mention any name cannot be held
responsible In any way"
The list was made. The banker
looked through 1t and as he handed It
back to the merchant said, "The name
of the firm which has failed Is there."
"Then I've lost heavily" replied the
merchant "for that is the firm with
which l did business" showing him a
name on the LIST.
"But how do you know that is the
firm which has failed" asked. the
banker In surprise.
Every easily" replied the merchant
"Of the ten names on the list only one
is genuine, that Of the firm with which
I did business. All the others are fcti.
