In commercial relations South ern
women have shown the most reluctance
to the divorce. The Students Club
is fully aware that the ideal plan of
Genesis, man taking the lead and
woman being inclusive, is still the
ideal plan. For example, to be lucid
and practical: A subscription paper
should be headed by enterprising fir ms
who realize that a reading room with
a sitting room adjoining, supplied
with stationery, a place where persons
from the country could bring their
lunches and meet for social intercourse
would invite custom and increase their
daily profit. 1t should be free. The
commercial world has discovered that
human nature, however ungrateful
cynics may think it. is peculiarly
melted, tanned ana convinced by get
our modern day advertisements. 1t is
true they are will O. the wisps-de
ceitful mirages in the desert-this con
spicuous ''given away which always
turns out to be charity Wanting itself,
or otherwise behaving itself unseemly.

has no park, no lunch room. not even
one gracious shade tree with bench
under tia wake to its own possibili-
ties, it will start this enterprise and in
the very near future gather an abundant
harvest.

Use one of these and you will resist
the drought and keep your land moist
all summer. one-horse 9-foot Weeder
will cultivate 10 or 20 acres day. A
two horse 2-foot Weeder will cultivate
30 or 40 acres day. Use one of these
Weeders once and you will use it al
ways You can use it for almost every
kind of work on the farm. A farmer
on the Nashville pike used one last
year in his corn instead of pillow, and
he raised some of the best corn in the
country; he also used one to prepare
his land for navy beans and had the
ground in moist condition July 4th.
Mr.. Brown also used it in cultivating
his sweet potato crop. 1t is the only
thing that will keep the ground in
good condition and retain enough
moisture to raise good crop through
a drought. Those who used it last
year in their corn can tell you about
it. Call on

further information in regard to it.

THE STUDENTS CLUB.
Its Object and Purposes-The Read
ing Room.

In commenting upon the plan of the
Students Club to have public reading
room. the Herald said last Thursday
''We thought that the consensus OF
opinion was tina. the girls and women
of Columbia should scream and get
excited over anagrams, the boys smoke
cigarettes, and the men work. F"
Our first thought on reading that
comment was that it was finely
phrased sort of Carlylean outburst
of sincerity that often makes us CRATE
full that the great Scotchman had
dyspepsia. Cur next thought was that
here too was a case for gratitude
something ''to prick the sides Of our
intent and make our enterprise start
out full gallop.' Our last thought
was that although the comment is
apparently true, the Students Club
must rise to explain.
There is something inherent in
Southern women that makes them
reluctant to speak out We're it other
wise, the explanation would not be
needed. Being something Of an
"Ancient Mariner" and having touched
upon many shores, the writer can
speak the more confidently of the sew
eral sorts and condition of women and
several lands taking these experiences
as standard of comparison. A GER
tain professor and close student Of our
acquaintance often meets his querulous
wife who breaks in upon his studies
with, with all thy faults love thee
STILL"
Now if there is any condition of
merit in which the Student Club has
surpassed all others of its sex known
to the Ancient Mariner, it is this; 1t
never screams. at least over anagrams
it never wrangles it always talks to
some purpose it is conspicuously har-
monious, amiable and direct. Up to
few weeks ago it's only object was in
dicated by its name, STUDENTS Club.
The papers prepared have shown
careful study, patient research, fine
discrimination and appreciation of the
best thought to be found in the best
writers, with laudable absence of pre-
tention to originality on the part of the
club itself
In the last wrestling for example,
the lady, to whom the subject THE

Rae To PreVentIt.

Washington, Aug. 9.-Thc United
States and IIaytien Telegraph and
Cable Co. has appealed to the state
and navy departments here to pre-
vent the cutting of its cable at Cape

QUEER ORDINANCE.
II ForbIds Two Persons TO Ride Upon
Box of Hired Carriage In Havana.

Havana, Aug. Mrs. Squiers, wife
of the American minister, recently
drove from her home in Mariana in
a hired carriage with footman on
the box, to call upon the wife of the
French minister at the Hotel Ingle-
terre. When the carriage stopped at
the hotel the footman went to an
nounce the visitor. In the meanwhile
first one policeman and then two
more officers ordered the driver to
drive away from the position occu-
pied in front of the hotel. The foot
man, who is also an interpreter, re-
turned, and told the policemen that
the occupant of the carriage was tho
wife of the American minister. The
policemen shrugged their shoulders at
this information and insisted that the
carriage should drive away; they also
ordered the foOtman to come down
from the box and get inside the car
riage.
The chief of police has called upon
the American minister and explained
to him that a municipal ordinance
fOrbids two persons to ride upon the
box of a hired carriage, and that car
riages arc not allowed to stand in
front of the sidewalk at the Hotel
lngleterre. The policemen in ques-
ton will be discharged for their con-

An Account of Battle which Was
Fought on the Islands.

Washington, Aug. 7.-Copies of Ma
nila newspapers received at the war
department give interesting informa-
tiOn concerning dOings in the islands,
which have not been fully covered by
cable
An account of the battle of Bayan,
Niindanao, states that after Col. Bald
win had his line drawn completely
around the fort, "the intrepid Ameri-
cans went up the hill, sweeping the
bolomen like chaff before them.
Through carnage unparalleled since
the Alamo, the fort itself was at last
reached and here our troops met an
insuperable obstacle. The high walls
were insurmountable and men dug
their fingers into the earth and
jumped upon each others shoulders IN
their efforts to get at the foe with
in, who was pouring lead into them.
Those inside the fort at last re-
luctantly surrendered and afterward
made break for liberty, in which
about 40 more were killed. OF the 800
who dcfed American authority about
40 survived"

SYSTEM TIED UP.
Employees of the FaIrhaven and West.
VILE Railroad Co. on a strike.

New Haven, Conn, Aug. THE
Fairhaven d Westville Railroad Co.,
operating and controlling all trolley
traffic. local and suburban, within
radius of ten miles of this city, found
its entire system practically tied up
yesterday morning, as result of
strike of its 400 conductors and mo-
tormen.
The men demand changes and re-
forms in methods of administration.
The officials of the company have
thus far refused to yield. Meanwhile
the public are walking.
The company at 1915 o'clock start
ed out six cars from the barns. Two
policemen were carried to each car.
The strikers themselves were orderly,
but the crowds which had gathered
in considerable number hooted and
jeered at the conductors, motormcn
and policemen aboard the cars.
All efforts to run cars were aban-
doned by the company yesterday af-
tcrnoOn and at , o'clock nothing but
mail cars went over the line. These
were not molcstcd. The disappear
ance of the cars produced good re-
suits on the streets and at o'clock
quiet prevailed with traffic at com
plcte standstill.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Thirteen Lives Are known to be Lost
by an Explosion n of Gar In a Mine.

Pueblo, Col, Aug. s.-A special to
the Chieftain from Trinidad says: \
disastrous explosion occurred at g: 80
o'clock last night in No. mine at
Bowen, small camp about ten miles
north of this place. Thirteen lives
are known to have been lost The
exact number of men working on the
night shift and in the mine at the
time of the explosion is unknown.
The explosion occurred about 500
feet from the mouth of the slope and
was caused by fire damp.
Immediately after the night shift
had started in the sIoping start
ling explosion occurred, entirely fill
ing the mouth of the slope and shak-
ing buildings and breaking windows
mile distant.
The mine is filled with gas and
the rescuers are afraid of afterdamp
and are unable to stay in the mine
more than short time. Mothers,
wives and children of the dead and
imprisoned miners are almost crazed
with grief and the scene presented at
the mouth of the mine is most
pathetic one.
The powder house in the mine, usu-
ally contining 1000 pounds of pow
der, blew up and it is this which
caused so great danger. The general
belief is that the entire mine has
been ruined and if not, it will take
months to get it in working order
again. The rescuing party is pushing
forward with all possible haste and
before many hours the exact number
OF lives lost and the total amount of
damage can be determined.

OUR NATIONAL BANKS.
Controller of Currency Makes "a State
ment In Regard to Th cir Condition.

Washington, Aug. 9.-IIon. William
Barrett Ridgely, controller of the
currency, yesterday made the follow
ing statement in regard to the sum-
mary of condition of the national
banks of the United States at the
close of business on Wednesday, July
16: The reports of condition show
the banks to be in excellent shape as
have all recent statements of the
kind. The increase in most of the
items of the statement are consistent
with the universal reports of the
prosperous condition of business and
the increase in its volume all over
the country.
"The footing of the statement,
$6,0OS, ,7j4975, is, as might be expected,
the largest on record. The least
favorable feature of the statement,
however, is perhaps the continued in
crease in loans-$49, ,1O2, ,145, since
the statement of April 30, 1902, and
$264, ,953,255 over the statement of
July Il, 1901. In this expansion of
the volume of loans there is, of
course, considerable solid growth and
increase of values, upon which loans
can properly be based, but there
must also be some initiation and there
is always danger in going too far in
this direction"

Thoy Took Place AT Buffalo During
the Fourth Week-A Blind TrOtter
Captures N Prize.

Buffalo, y. y, Aug. 5.-The fourth
week of the grand circuit opened at
the Fort Erie track yesterday with
clear skies and a fast track. Three
races were decided, each in straight
heats. In the 2:3O trot, rhythmic, the
blind trotter, won. Dan X. won the
2:0s pace just as cleverly. In the 2:12
trot Dan T. won in three straight
heats.
Buffalo, y. Y, Aug. 6.-The second
day of the grand circuit was rather
tame. Direct Hal and The Roman
repeated their wins of early in the
season. The only excitement came in
the first heat of the 1924 pace, when
there was collision on the first turn,
the drivers of King Charles and
Grasshopper being unseated. Grass
hopper made the circuit of the track
without a driver, but King Charles
was stopped. Cooper, who drove the
forcer, was not hurt, but Maloney,
the owner of King Charles, got
black eye and badly skinned cheek.
The Judges ruled that as the collision
seemed unavoidable all horses would
start in the other heats. Maloney
got up behind King Charles and in
biiN UNI u meat PluChJ dllNt,
getting second place and the third
money of the race.
Buffalo, y. Y, Aug. 7.--The feature
of the third day of the grand circuit
meeting was the defeat of Roamer in
the 2:14 pace. The race went six
heats, Roamer getting the first two
handily in 2:O6h and 2:07H'. In the
third Laconda, the New England
PAGER, came at him and they had it
hammer and tongs all through the
mile, Laconda winning by head
Time 2:O7H.
Buffalo, y. Y, Aug. s.-Rain at
