OUR
Clothing
SAIE1!

For sometime past we have
been talking about our prices
on Clothing. We have made
some rather broad claims for
low prices, but these claims
are being verified by scores of
people every week who come
to test our claims. There are
very few people who have ex-
amined our Clothing with a
faint idea of buying, but who
have TAKEN A SUIT OUT
when they left. This fact
certainly shows that our prices
are low all right. Look at the
prices at which we are Offering
Clothing from another point
of view. Just suppose, for in
stance, that we offer you a $40
Suit for $50 per cent. re-
duction. You may not need
the Clothes today; but you
will next fall. Do you know
of any other investment of IS
that will make you rs per
cent. between now and Novem.

below, and note the per cent
age you will save by buying
here and buying now.

Things IN GENERAL

1t is unnecessary to say that we
have a tremendous stock Of all kinds
of goods that one would look for In

glance around our big store rooms is
enough to convince anybody of that
fact. A little inquiry Of our statesmen
and salesladies will develop too, that
the goods are going at ridiculously
LOW PRICES.

The state supreme court handed
down an opinion that winds up that
celebrated chart business which has
attracted so much attention. The de.
cision sustains the view taken by Mr..
Gunter, of the attorney generals Of
flee, in the opinion he furnished the
county boards of school trustees when
the issue first arose. 1t will be recall
ed that an agent of Chicago chart
factory, named Tutwiler, canvassed
this state about three years ago, and
sold to county boards of school trus-
tees about 100000 worth Of his school
charts, which were placed at $3I.5O
each, it being subsequently alleged
that they were not worth more than
about 81. The charts were sold and
notes were taken from the trustees
When Mr.. McMahan became superin-
ton to the matter and an opinion was
asked from the attorney generals Of
flee. 1t was to the effect that the
school trustees had no authority tt
purchase such charts. and thereupor
throughout the state the county super
intendents refused payment of thu
claims. In Lexington county, a sui
was brought by the Loan and Ex
change Bank of Columbia against +

Judge Ernest Gary took the same view

"'Deed l did, H."


A perfect head, viewed from the side,
falls within a perfect square, ayerag-
ing nine inches for n man ana So
inches for a woman. The width of the
face is equal to five eyes. The distance
between the eyes Is equal to one eye.
The size of the eye is two-thirds that
of the mouth. The length of the nose
is one-third the length of the face. The
ear is, at all ages, as long as two eyes.
Although these are the ideal measure
ments and are approximately adhered
to, so fond of irregularity is nature
that rarely any face corresponds to
them. The two sides of any face are
never exactly alike Strictly speaking,
the face extends only from the chin to
the root OF the nose. Above that point
is the brain case. For well developed
brain the width of the head just above
the ears, measured with callipers,
should be from 5la to Gla inches. and
the height from the opening of the ear
to the top of the crown should be ex-
actly the same. In women both height
and width are one inch less than in
men, women's heads approaching the
type belonging TO children.-London

muscle tonus corrugating the brow,
rigidifying the face or attitudes ana

tiers after toll is over. We Americans
lack the very words gemuth and esprit,
and II Is very hard for us to entirely
forget the struggle for existence In So
cial intercourse. The careful studies or
Partridge and others show that the de-
sire for this kind of unbending Is one
or the chief causes that lead Ameri-
cans to drink, because they have lost
the power TO feel the normal exhilara-
ton which inebriation stimulates. In
stinct points To this as great boon,
and so 1t Is sought oyer cups and glass

artificial stimulation. A little more roll
licking jollity, with jest and quip with
congenial friends, the tale, the song,

this we have too little in our stern
American life, with its tendencies to
overtonicity and cramps of will and at

African snakes.

The African cobra is regarded some
what reverHntly by the natives of that
country. who once a year kill cobra
de capello and hang its skin to the
branch of tree. tail downward. Then
all the children b.rn during the last
year are brought out and made to
touch the skin. This the parents think
puts them under the serpent's protec-
ton. The cobra de . pello divides with
the horned viper - Africa the ques-
tionable honor Of being the worm of
the Nile" To whose venomous tooth
Cleopatra death was due.
The KatIirs use the venom of this
snakes cousin. the puff adder. to poi
son their arrows. and when they have
any small quantity left they swallow
1t, having theory that 1t will protect
them from the bad effects of future
bites. The Snake tribe of the Punjab
say that the bites OF snakes do not hurt
them. and If they find a dead serpent
they dress il In clothes and give 1t a
superb funeral.

The Culture.

The couture worn low down in the
nape of the neck suits lots OF women
and is apt to impart an air OF simple
ity and youth distinctly pleasing. But
not few of us vary the fashion OF our
hair with reckless indifference to the
fashion of our hats, and the result Is
an unsightly gap in the back view.
Even the most bewitching Partisan
confection that ever crowned the head
of pretty woman may prove unbecom-
ing if donned with a careless disre-
gard of the mode of couture that its
design demands. Some women seem
to use only their front glass and leave
the back view to take care of itself.

AT the first symptoms of earache
let the patient lie on the bed with the
painful ear Gppermost. Fold Il thick
towel and tuck it around the neck;
then with teaspoon ill the ear with
warm water.
Continue doing this for fifteen or
twenty minutes The water Will fill the
ear orifice and flow over on the towel.
Afterward turn over the head, let the
wdter run out and plug the ear with
warm glycerin and cotton.
This may be done every hour until
relief Is obtained Ii Is an almost in
variable cure and has saved many
cases OF acute Inflammation. The wa
ter should be quite warm. but not too
hot."-London Tit-Bits.
