lace still remains the standard of su-
preme elegance.
Sometimes a touch of color Is given
the white evening gown. A new fancy
in the way of white evening frocks of
transparent fabric is a lining of color to
give the opalescent effect. The silk
foundation may be of one color with
chiffon of another color over this both

flower-trimmed hats.
All the taffeta ribbons are popular
for sashes, and the satin taffetas are
the most used of all. The Louisines
are in vogue and aristocratic sashes are
of the exquisitely fiowered taffetas and
moire ribbons. The newest of the lat
ter have a large polka dot in self-color
woven here and there along their lovely
length.
The sashes are made up in various
ways, with soft, crush girdle and ends
at the back varying i'm length from
those quite short to streamers which
hoat to the hem of the gown. The ends

are knotted or trimmed with rosettes.
The rosettes are sometimes made in the
form of huge rosebuds, and these are
lovely on a pale pink satin taffeta sash.
Chiffon roses are also cunningly strewn
along some ribbons to give the effect OF
sure-enough posies.
A fashionable sash Is of seven-inch-
wide pink satin taffeta ribbon-the coll
or that tints the petals of a wild rose.
The ribbon Is softly and loosely crushed
around the waist; huge. puffy rosette
covers the closing at the back. From
this two streamers of the ribbon fiutter
to the hem of the gown. About one

one at the top-is fastened to the right
streamer. The left streamer Is grace

rosette on the other sash end.

ribbons are especially chic for the plain
muslins.
Sashes made of two kinds of ribbon
knotted a little below the waist at the
back are seen on some of the thin sum-
mer gowns, with corsage bow to
match. Two shades of one color or two
different colors are sometimes used In
the sash. In white two kinds of rib
bon, for example. white molre and
Louisine, are used.
Sashes of tucked chiffon are dainty
things to wear with the thin summery

FASHION.

InlS Is Cdlleu white summer De-
cause thin white gowns are in so much
greater demand than they have been
in seasons past. White, in whatever
material you may choose, is without
question the smartest thing for morn
ing, afternoon and evening wear.
OF the thin, white materials, Paris
muslin, Persian lawn, French nain-
sock, organdy, batiste and dimity are
all popular, and they lend themselves
with charming adaptability to dainty
elaboration with tuckings, ruffles,
laces or embroideries and ribbon
sashes. The dotted and figured Swisses
have been simply irresistible this sum-
mer. The patterns are surprisingly
varied, ranging from the dot in differ
ent sizes to Swisses figured, striped
and embroidered all over. Lovely
gowns are seen of Swisses with in
sertions of Valenciennes lace.
woolen fabrics and the silk-and-
wooden combinations are having an un-
predecented vogue this summer. Eta
mines in sheer, beautiful open mesh
lead: then there are the voiles and
grenadines, plain and fancy eolienne,
and crepes of diversified beauty, vary
ing all the way from a wide open mesh
to the weave which makes the sheer

pecially for children.

summer, Louisine, satin liberty and
pongee being especial favorites.
OF the morning frocks seen, the
summer gown which is most popular
with women is the linen one and white
very smart, made absolutely plain
with only strappings, stitching and
buttons for ornamertation, or trimmed
with heavy linen laces or antique lace.
Then there are applique designs of
colored linen on the white dresses. The
white linen which has a tinge of ecrue
in it is considered very stylish,
trimmed with narrow bands of the
new colored embroidery-done in mer-
cerized floss. Some of the more pre-
tentious linen gowns are made over
taffeta silk Innings, and these trimmed
with nd-embroidery cost as much as
silk gowns.
Pongees vie with the linens in popu-
larity. Very smart frocks are those of
white pongee trimmed with ecru lace
in the darkest shades. The filet laces
are much used with this material.
White mohairs are to be reckOned
with in a summary of the fashionable
white materials of the season. The
newest fancy is to trim these gowns
with stitched cloth bands.
The smartest summer dancing and
dinner toilets are of white. Here, as
in the day dresses, a distinct character
is given many Of the frocks by the use
of laces in ecru tints, and these range
in the quality of their coloring from the
palest lemon to coffee color. Every

tained on his fathers plantation after
the emancipation proclamation. The
elder Miller, a liberal minded man, in
sisted on giving each of the freed
Negroes salary, but asked, in re-
turn, that each perform his or her
assigned duty without fail, just as
would be done were they to seek SER
vice elsewhere, as they were free to
do. To one old fellow, Jonas, was
assigned the duty of watering Mr..
Miller's saddle horse threa times
daily at regular intervals. Several
times he neglected the duty. and
each time was told by Mr.. Miller
that they would have to separate if
he were not more careful. When
next he fo'got, Mr.. Miller said:
"Jonas, you've had fair notice. Now
you and I must part" "Yaa, Marse

msn George R. Patterson, of Ash
land, in an interview today said he
spent most of yesterday in conference
with Senator Hanna at Washington,
acquainting the latter with the situa-
tion in the anthracite coal region.
Mr.. Patterson and Senator Hanna
intimated that the Civil Federation
has not yet lost hope Of bringing the
striking miners and operators to-
gether.
Congressman Patterson said Sena-
tor Hanna assured him that what
ever action was taken by the Civic
Federation looking toward settle
ment of the strike, it should not be
in any way derogatory to the miners.

n Memoriam.

Death is sad at all times and un-
der all circumstances but it was
peculiarly sad when on the evening
of May %, 1902, the soul of Mr.. Levi
Nichols took it's fight to relms Of
eternal bliss. He was only sick q
y little over one day but suffered in
tensely during that time. During
the last few years death has entered
that home for the third time, first
Jacob their only son, bright and
promising young man was taken,
then a little over one year ago Minnie,
their only daughter and surviving
child, was taken, now the father has
gone to be with them, leaving the
widow with neither husband nor
children to comfort her. God has
seen fit in his wise providence to
spare her four little grandchildren to
comfort her in her declining years.
May they prove blessing to her. .
Mr.. Nichols, united with Union
Evangelical Lutheran church in early
life and remained a consistent mem
Der of the same until death. He
loved his church and was seldom
absent from services. He will be
sadly missed in the church and in
the community in which be lived,
bat most sadly of all at home. His
dear little grand children who loved
their grandfather so dearly will miss
him but his companion will miss him
most of ALL. His seat is vacant
around the ireside and there is no
one that can take his place with her.
His funeral services were conducted
at Union church, Lexington county,
S. c., May 24tb, by Rev. Shumpert,
from text of his own selection, viz:
Let me die the death of the righteous
and let my last end be ike his. After
which his body we're gently laid TO
rest in the cemetery near by to await
the resurrection morn. May God
bless the sorrowing ones and help
each of them to so live that they may
one day form an unbroken family
around the throne of God.

Who Will Succeed Miles?

Washington July l0-There is
considerable speculation in the army
as to the probable successor of Lieut..
Gen. Miles, who retires by reason Of
age on August s, 1908, but it is net
generally known that the duties of the
Office of the commanding general are
largely performed by General S. NJ.
Young, the president of the war COL
lege.
Il is an open secret in the war de-
partmeut that General Miles is com.
manding general in name only. His
name appears on official orders, ard
routine papers pass through his Office,
but when advice is desired by the
secretary of war on matters affecting
the army, General Y'ung is always
called into consultation.
1t is definitely known that when
General Miles retires, either by rea
son of age, year from now, or by
order of the president, Gen. Young
will be named as his successor, but
as General Young retires for age on
January 9, 1904, be will have only
few months to serve and the real in
terest, therefore. centres in a success
sor to General Young.
The friends of Major General Cor
bin say that he is the logical candi-
date by reason of long service and in
recognition of his conduct of the war
with Spain. General Corbin declines,
however, to authorize the use of his
name in this connection and has al
ready disavowed any intention to
scramble for the Office.
Secretary Root and the president
are much impressed with General
Corbin's ability and among the officers
of the army his chances for appoint
ment are considered excellent. The
candidates against him will be Major
General Adna Chafee, John G. Bates,
Arthur Macarthur and James F.
Wade. General Wade is now Brig
1ier General, but be has been assured
.: promotion to Major General upon
the occurrence of the next vacancy.

Legal Holidays.

Some of the lawyers Of the city are
dissatisfied with the law in connec
ton with sslesday and legal holidays.
For instance, several of them have
made arrangements to settle up prop
erty accounts on Septenber salesday.
Afterwards they would find that it
was Labor Day, and as the law
makes no provisions for another day
in the month, everything has to wait
until October. The lawyers have no
objection to legal holidays, but they
want the law to fix a remedy for the
long waits between settlements.

annually in the colored free schools

annually in the colored free schools
of that state Prof. Blackshear says
that the policy of separation of the
schools for the two races calls for the
employment of an army of colored
teachers. This proves, he asserts, a
great incentive to a great many of
the more intelligent colored youths
to fit themselves to be teachers of
their race, while these teachers in
turn become, in their own persons,
as representatives Of character and
culture, helpful examples to the
youth of the race.

Poisoning the System.

It is through the bowels that the
body is cleansed of impurities. Con-
stipation keeps these poisons in the
system, causing headache, dulness
and melancholia at first then un-
slightly eruptions and finally serious
illness unless a remedy is applied.
DeWitt's Little Early Risers pre-
vent this trouble by stimulating the
liver and promote easy, healthy action
of the bowels. These little pills do
not act violently but by strengthen
ing the bowels enable them to per-
torn their own work. Never grippe
or distress. J. E. Kaufman.

Candidates Troubles.

The laudable attempt of the candi-
dates in Charleston to 'scut out" beer
and whisky in the campaign has
proven miserable fasco and one by
one they have succumbed to the
buns and heelers. Charleston's ex-
ample has been held upas a good pat
. tern for candidates in other counties,
but all this has to be takan back now.
It never has been quite as bad in
Richiand about beer and whisky as
} it is in Charleston, but the disrepula-
BILE practice has been bad enough,
and the signs are that it will be re-
newed and that increased demands
will be made on candidates this year.
Already the candidates are loud in
their protestations of the wrong in
ficted upon them, but they seem
powerless to resist. These leeches
are already sucking their blood until
at the end of the campaign they will
have been bled to death.
The Charleston Post has the follow
ing account of how the candidates in
the city capitulated:
When it was announced in the
Evening Post several days ago that
the candidates had made an agree
ment among themselves not to furn-
ish the boys with beer this year and
for the first few days after the an
nouncement the heelers were on the
anxious bench, for they did not know
where the stuff was to come from to
satisfy their parched lips. A meeting
was held and they determined thai If
beer and booze was not forthcoming
they would see that no votes were cast
for them. Every candidate was noti-
fed and since they have received no
tice they have been liberal in sending
out beer.

McLaurin MAY Decline.

Some people in the South Carolina
circle in Washington who claim to
have inside information as to affairs
in this State seem to think that, after
all, Senator McLaurin may not be
appointed to the federal judgeship
of the court of claims. Not because
they do not. think the President
would appoint the Senator if he de-
sires the honor, but because they be-
lieve that after all the talk concern-
ing the Senator that he may not care
to accept the place. He may prefer
to remain in the Senate until the end
of the next session Of Congress,
when his term will expire, and then
to reenter the practice of his profes-
sion, either in South Carolina or in
Washington. The Senator. it is
stated by his friends, has received
many tempting offers, but he has &C
cepted none of them, and it is said
be may decline the judgeship if Of

at Gray Gables. He said that at first
the candidates were disposed to act
ugly and shut down on beer: bui
when the boys got together and
agreed to knife every candidate who
refused to cough up keg of beef
occasionally, he said the candidates
knew that they were determined and
they came around all right.
A keg of beer intended for some
of the voters of Ward 10 was held

disposed of in short space of time
The boys in Ward 10 waited patiently

WHY LEAVES CHANGE COLOR.

Probably not one person in thou
sand knows just why leaves change
their color in the fall, says an eminent
botanist in the Washington Star
The green matter in the tissues of a
leaf is composed of two coiors, red
and blue. When the sap ceases to
| flow in the autumn the natural growth
of the tree is retarded, and oxidation
of the tissues takes place. Under
certain conditions the green of the
leaf changes to red; under different
/ aspects it takes on yellow or brown
hue. The difference in color is due to
the difference in combinations of the
original constituents of the green it's
sues, and to the varying conditions Of
climate, exposure and soil A dry,
hot climate produces more brilliant
foliage than one that is damp and
cool. This is the reason that Amer;-
can autumns are so much more gor-
geous than those of England and
| Scotland
There are several things about
leaves, however, that even science
cannot explain. For instance why one
of The two trees growing side by side
of the same age, and having the sane
exposure, should take on a brilliant
red in the fall and the other turn yell
low, or why one branch of a tree
should be highly colored and the rest
of the tree have only a yellow tint,
are questions that are as impossible
to answer as why one member of a
family should be perfectly healthy
and another sickly. Naples and cakes
have the brightest coIors.-New York

Indispensable. With no one, how
