! proverbs

" When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphltes
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

Cabbage Worms Not Deadly,

The report from GAINESVILLE of
the existence Of cabbage snake
or worm, which has caused wide
spread destruction Of the cab
bage crop, and poisoned the yege-
table so that deaths have resulted
from eating it, caused no little
comment at the Department of
Agriculture today. State Chem
ist ]. M. McChandless says the
report that he had examined the
worm and pronounced it poison
Gus is unfounded and untrue.
The matter has never been re-
ferred to him in any shape.
One Of the worms was sent to
the department and was turned
overtoState Entomologist Newell.
He pronounced it an eel worm, "
or hair worm,' a parasite SINH
lar 10 character to the tape worm.
1t might act as parasite in the
stomach, he said, but there was
no reason topresume thatit could
in any way cause death.
Specimens of the insect have
been sent to Washington for in
vestagition and analysis. In the
meantime the people Of North
Georgia have scratched cabbage
off their bill of fare, and even At
lantans have ceased to eat, the
vegetable. The story has at
least produced a considerable
scare.

Little Plat r. Spencer seem
ed born possessed with a desire
to write. Living in the woods
of the Catskills, with very little
encouragement for learning, from
his earliest years his great wish
seemed to be to make letters.
Up to his eighth year, he had
never owned a sheet of paper,
but had marked on any smooth
surface he found. At this time
he got hold of a big copper cent,
almost the first money he had
seen. The desire of his heart
could now be fulfilled. He in
trusted his coin to 1um herman,
and asked him to buy sheet of
paper at Catskill, the 1um Der
camp, twenty miles away. Late
that night the message returned.
The boy wearried with waiting
had gone to bed. At the sound
of the arrival, he awoke, his first
thought being of the promised
paper. He arose, and with fever
lsh eagerness tried to make char
acters on the smooth, white sur
face. His hand was too untrain-
ed, and the rude characters little
resembled letters. Disappointed
he returned to bed, only to take
up the struggle on the following
days, and conquer the difficulties.
Paper he could not afford every
day, especially as he soon moved
with his father to the frontier, in
Ohio. There, birch bark, sand
banks, snow drifts and ice were
his most frequent writing sur
faces. His schooling was very
meager,-a few months when he
was twelve years ole, so he had
to dig out his own learning by
Pickering candlelight.
Books were scarce, and worth
any hardship to procure. To
continue the study of arithmetic,
he had to have a book, and heard
that he could get one twenty
miles away. 1t was winter, and
he had no shoes, but he walked
barefoot on the frozen ground
and secured his treasure Dark
ness came on and found him miles
from home. His only food had
been frozen turnips found in a
field. AT length he found a set
ler's cabin, where he was shelter
ed for the night. Under such
conditions, he acquired a fair ed
ucation and developed a system
OF penmanship for years was al
most universal in American
schools. Spencerian business
colleges were established in forty
cities. The boy who learned
writing with SO much difficulty
made the task easier for thous-
ands of boys and girls, and lived
a beautiful and useful life on the
shore of Lake Erie, where he
lies buried, at Geneva, Ohio

1t would be a romance Of dol
lars and wealth-growing to mar
rate the number of men who have
n1adc credita BILE little fortunes by
trading in town lots. One will
answer the purpose of many: A
young man in 1896 invested 5000
in lots, five years after selling
out for $4,000, re-invested his
money, and few days since re-
fused $4,000 for his holdings. 1t
Is claimed that dollar has never
been lost in real estate invest
nnent in the colony limits. The
impetus in investment in Fitz-
gerald has just fairly begun. 1t
is town of immense confidence
in itself, and in all community af-
fairs solid, aggressive, enthusi-
astic cooperation.
To say Fitzgerald is a wonder
full town is not fairly expressive
of its tremendous growth and
growing.
One may wonder if there
is reason in this tremendous
stride. When we consider that
Fitzgerald is in the midst of the
very best farming section in
Georgia, that the mills and naval
stores and operators are rapidly
leaving these lands open to farm
ing investment, and then take up
the statistics of population in
crease in the South Georgia coun-
ties for the last twenty years,
and we will find cause to the eff
feet,

Mercer, President of the Cham
Der of commerce, will secure
more particular information.

FarcicaI Justice.

They say the newspapers ought not
to discuss pending litigation, and espe-
cially the merits of murder case. In
this instance, however, they say" Is
generally the people who are deeply in
teresteds and who are using every pos
sible means, not to secure justice; but
to win.
1t ought to be so that it would not
be necessary to discuss a pending mur-
der or any other kind of a case in the
newspapers, or elsewhere. 1t ought to
be so that the public could depend alb
solutely on justice being done, and that
when litigation is determined, every
body could rest content that whatever
that determination, justice has been
done. Theoretically that is true of
South Carolina justice; but that it is
true in fact no intelligent man in this
state really believes.
The love of justice is strong in the
heart of the average South Carolinian
and we are proud Of this fact. We
know there is as much virtue among
the people of this state as there Is
among the people of any other state Of
this Union, and there is no cause to
blush for South Carolina on that score
At the same time we know that

THE present high price or COTTON
aoos not nron ise we'll for the manufac-
turing interests Of the country. inere
bas been a dearth Of orders from the
warn buyers, and the mills are not dis
nosed to take a great deal Of cotton
at prevailing prices. Serious trouble
has already developed between the
operators and operatives OF the Ne"
England mills, and it Is probable tnat
the trouble Is due as much to the hlgn
price of cotton and the weakness OF the
market for manufactured goods as 10
anv other cause. Although it Is not
an admitted fact, there Is good reason
for believing that operators are as Oh
ten responsible for strikes as are oper-
atives. That seems to be the situa-
ton now. Having reached polnt
where they could not continue opera
tions at a profit. the New England
mills have fomented discomfort among
their operatives in order to have pre-
texts for shutting down. A panic III
the cotton industry is easily possible
inst at this time, but there Is good
reason to hope it will not develop. Ii
there is trouble Of this nature, how
ever, it would seem that the blame Will
lie with the spectators who have cor
nered practically all Of the cotton that
was not previously taken by the spin.

out Of their speculation more than le-

The first case taken up Monday was
that of the State VS.. Ezekiel Ford,
Florence Palmer and Fred Sanders,
charged with burglary and larceny.
The jury returned a verdict Of guilty
as to Sanders and not guilty as to the
others.
A great deal Of amusement was oc-
casioned by the trial Of Jack Kirkpat-
rick, a 15-year-old Negro boy on the
charge of housebreaking and larceny.
The prosecuting witness was a Negro
man named Milton McCarter. The boy
was accused Of stealing corn from a
crib. He had no counsel. McCarter
told a story as to how he had met the
boy in the road with crocus sack un-
der his coat, and suspecting an evil
errand followed him to the corn crib
where he caught him red-handed In
the act. Kirkpatrick had already ex-
cited much interest by his action In
objecting to some Of the jurors as
they were presented and by refusing
to allow an outsider to speak to one
of the jurymen after the jury had been
empaneled. Upon being advised by the

Tioer Outrage In Charleston.

There was much 1nd1gnatlOn mere u
day when 1t became known that dis-
pensary constables had invaded tne
Trenholm home on hunt Tor DINO
tiger" liquor. Mrs. Trenholm Is the
widow of William L. Trenholm, VINO
was COMPTROLLER Of the currency under
President Cleveland. She has flne
house at the head of the Battery, ana
she was astounded when five rough
countrymen called and said they had
orders to search the place. Protests
and entreaties were unavafling.
The officers pushed their way IN,
frightened women who were Gazing
and went through every room.
They opened wardrobes, scattered
clothing and left without finding
trace of whisky. Friends OF the ramlly
kept the wires hot today and Governor
Hayward was informed OF the outrage.
The only explanation the constapies
could offer was that some grievous
mistake had been made in the street
number, and today the chief Of the dis
pensary in this city called on Mrs.
Trenholm with an apology. 1t was not
accepted.
Feeling ran high for a time and the
citizens recalled the fact that 1t was
dispensary work of this kind that pre-
cipitated the Darlington war When
Tillman was governor.
It was said tonight that committee
would be sent to Columbia to file pro-
tests with Gov. Hayward with the nope
of preventing similar outrages In the
future.-Charleston dispatch OF Sat-
urday to New York Sun.
The dispensary system Is an out
rageous one; but there Is absolutely
nothing the matter with the laws that
have been enacted for its enforcement.
In it's character as liquor dealer the
state of South Carolina is entitled to
but little more respect than is any 9TH
er liquor dealer whether blind tiger
or licensed saloonist; but in it's efforts
to enforce the laws the state will be
upheld by all good citizens.
That Mrs. Trenholm has been an in
nocent victim Of outrage there seems
to be no question whatever; but as to
whether the dispensary constables are
responsible for the outrage we are ex-
tremely doubtful. Charleston tigers
differ from others in the state in that
they have more means, more intelli-
gence, more ShreWdneSS. with all
these things they have just as little
character or sense of moral RESPONSE
bility or regard for the rights Of others.
1t is difficult to conceive Of the possi-
bility that these constables made such
a blunder on their own motion. We be-
lieve that the Charleston tigers are at
the bottom of this raid; that they man.
aged to make the constables believe
that liquor was stored in the house,
and that their object was the starting
Of the outrage mill.
Under all the circumstances, we
think Mrs. Trenholm can very we'll af-
ford to accept the profered apology, and
also we think the governor will do very
we'll not to be gulled by the incident.

federate Veterans organization printed
copies Of the different company rolls
now on file in the adjutant and inspec-
tor generals office with spaces marked
for filling in the casualties or any 9TH
er information required, of each SOL
dier. These were to be distributed
among the survivors Of the various
companies with requests that they be
filled out with names and casualties,
etc., and returned to headquarters for
general revision. It is fact that many
uneducated men, when called upon TO
do their duty, could and would give In
valuable help. They will remember
and can account for every man with
wonderful precision. And when a
number of these come together, while
there may perhaps be different reports.
yet they will not be Of such serious
nature that the same cannot be set
tied with reasonable accuracy.
At a meeting Of the U. c. veterans
in Columbia In November, 1895, the
state was asked for and Il understand)
did in 1885, make an appropriation TO
carry out this measure, but what be-
came of it never knew. I made re-
peated efforts to get the roll OF my
own company, but never. got It. The
resolution Cor rather petition) asked
for so or rs copies Of every company
roll to be printed and sent out through

possible accuracy in the details be had.
