DANCING, GAMBLING,
THEATERS AND DRINK.

Discussed by Rev. }. A. smith at
EDwOrth Church.
It is an annual custom in the Meth
odist Church to bring prominently be-
fore the members at some time some
of the fixed rules of the Discipline,
and last night Rev. ]. A. Smith, pas
tor of Epworth Church. spoke to his
congregation on dancing. drinking.
theater-going and gambling. These four
acts are contrary to the regular teach
ings of the church, he said, and in
treating them he quoted frequently
from the sSible and from high church
authority
Rule 4, OF the Discipline, as laid
down for the guidance of members of
the Methodist Church declares that
they should avoid drinking, except
when necessary. Rev. Mr.. Smith had
numerous references to show that
drinking is disapproved very generally
by the highest church authorities and
gave many examples OF harm that had
come from the habit.
Dancing was brought in under the
rule that urges Christians to partici-
pate only in the amusements that ele-
Mr. Smith dwelt considerable time
upon this feature Of the sermon and
gave references from the words of
eminent men in the various Christian
churches, all opposed to round dancing.
A statement was made that a large per
cent. OF women who had gone astray
had said their downfall was attribut-
able to the habit of round dancing.
Theater-going was discussed under
the same head and the fact was de-
plored that the drama is not generally
OF pure and moral tone, but that it
more often appeals to the sordid and
depraved tastes and is neither en-
nobling or uplifting.
Gambling is contrary to the teach
ings of the Methodist Church because
the rules declare that Christians should
be honest. Gambling involves the
thought and effort to gain another
property and the Christian cannot en-
10y with clear conscience the money
won at a game of chance, for they are
endeavoring to get money without
working for H.
Rev. Mr.. Smith heartily Endorsed the
sermon preached Sunday, July rs. by
Rev. Robert Van Deventer, at the Duffy
Street Baptist Church, on dancing.

Large Increase In Tax vaIues-GoOd
Crop Prospects.

Large Increase In Tax ValueH-GOOd
Crop Prospects.
Americas, Ca, Aug. 2.-The increase
in property values in Sumter county
this year. amounting to $171,00O as
shown by the digest just completed,
evidences the prosperity and steady
growth of this city and section. The
increase in realty values, both city
and farm property, is very considera-
BILE, while in all lines a gain is made.
Sumter stands this year for greater
prosperity and progress along all lines.
The crop prospect here remains fiat
tering, though in some localities rain
is needed. Cotton, upon the whole, is
doing well, and promises a good crop.
Sumter county will gather this year
the finest corn crop made here in the
past ten years.
w. w. Wheeler, for many years chief
OF police of Americas, is critically i'll.
and his death at any hour is expected.
He was a valiant Confederate soldier.
and much esteemed.
Americas is inoculated with the base
ball germ to an alarming degree. and
local fans crowd the ball park dailv.
Last week the local club defeated
Buena Vista and Dawson, and this
week VIII play Columbus a series of
three games here. Maynard of Ma
con and wild BIZ Clark, a celebrat-
ed pitcher, are with the locals.
The new ice factory and cold stor-
age plant, representing an investment
of $4,000, will be completed this week
and made ready to begin business.
Americas merchants are looking for
ward to the finest fall trade in a de-
cade, and many of them are in the
East buying fall goods accordingly.
Cotton money will be plentiful here
this fall, and business in every line
promises to be excellent.

MORE BEAUTY DON'TS
SECRETS OF HAVING SHAPEIY
AND PRETTY NAILS.
Precautions by Which Redness of the
Skin May Be Avoid

Don't overmancure the hands or thew
will become SO tender as to be easily red
dened and roughened
Don't wash the hands oftener than neces-
sary, and dry them thoroughly after every
washing.
Don't neglect the palms of the hands,
They need attention as much as the backs
of tie hands. Rub emollient-perfuned
honey is goodinto the palms with thumb
and forefinger.
Don't neglect massaging and kneading of
the hands in order to secure good circula-
ton. which helps to keep the hands white
and to make the skin plant
Don't forget to pinch the ends of the fing.
ers now and then. This will do a good deal
toward making the fingers taper
Don't polish the nails too highly or they
become so brittle that the slightest contact
with anything hard breaks them down To
the quick, thereby causing intense pain.
Don't file or Scrape the nails; either pro-
cess only helps to thicken them. They
should b rubbed down with the very fina
emery and cinnabar powder, which is used
for polishing shell and ivory
Don't allow the nails to remain long
soiled with anything that will stain them.
Don't always use a nail polisher or buffer.
Once in a while try polishing the nails on
the palm of the hand.
Don't trim the nails to sharp points. If
there is anything that will set the teeth on
edge it is to shake hands and feel a slight
Craze from such claws. 1t is feline.
Don't always use scissors to trim the
nails; file is better to round off the edges.
Nothing tends to injure the nails much
as persistent trimming with pair of scis-
sorS.
Don't think that one rule applies to all
finger nails. No two sets of nails can be-
treated quite alike not alone because of
their texture. but of their formation. To
trim some nails overmuch renders them
thick and ugly. To leave others too long
uncut increases their tendency to brittle-
ness
Don't wear rings that are too small. The
inevitable result is Disagreement from red
and swollen hands and knuckles.
Don't wear bracelets so tight that they
affect the circulation and thus injure the
appearance of the hands.
Don't wear gloves that are a size too
small that fasten too tightly. This pre-
vents free circulation and makes the hands
red
Don't wear gloves stitched with colors.
They make the hands look larger.
Don't think the appearance of the hands
n trifing consideration. A beautiful hand
may be even more fascinating than beau
tiful face and nothing more strongly marka
the person of birth and breeding.

The Autumn Stamp.
But to return to the requirements and
possibilities of the present. Practical and
becoming effects for immediate use are
suggested by all the shops, and if none of
these bear the stamp of extraordinary
novelty, they possess the merit of fitting

which the substitution of autumn berries
for the blooms of summer is likewise bene-

one TO choose, and no matter how old thew

Fashions in China.

Chinese ladies never rejoice in the dainty
fashions of pretty cottons, as their Euro-
pean sisters do, but year in year out they
are attired in silk, for cotton is of no ac-
count in the celestial empire, being con-
sidered only fit for the coolies, who dress
in 1t entirely.
Chinese dress does not call for any great
ingenuity on the part of the makers, for in
form it is always the same. A ladys first
garment is a plain piece of silk fastened
round the waist to form an apron, which
laps over at the back. In the place of this
poor women wear sort of cotton front
which covers the chest, but has no back.
Next come the underjacket and the over
jacket the trousers, the apron and tine foot-
gear. The last consists of bandages and
tiny shoes for the little footed or cot
ton boot and shoes of sensible size for
the uncrippled peasant woman.
In cold weather the number of jackets
worn is increased the heaviest being OUTER
most which is padded and quilted or fuf
lined. For outdoor wear a sleeveless oyerp
jacket, known as front and back" ~
used.

Written for The Evening Star.
The yearly calendar of an eastern col
lege for women has for it's September Illus
tration a group of students eager to begin
the fall work. The figures are silhoueated
against the massive walls of some of the
college buildings. more practically ac-
curate background would be some sewing
room scenes, with anxious mothers and
dressmakers at work with machine or
needle, for to them September means the
yearly rush which rounds up the summer
festivities. Into a few short weeks they
must crowd all the preparations for the
college girls wardrobe. And this outfit
covering as 1t does all the requirements of
a half year, has attained to the dimen-
sions of brides trousseau. Indeed, the
girl owner often laughingly refers TO it as
her "trousseau."
For this work of preparation the sea-
Soned sophomore or Junior may give some
useful ORDERS but the fearful freshman n
and her assistants must work to some ex-
tent in the dark, for they can have only
vague idea of the requisites of a col
lege wardrobe until taught by actual eX-
perence. To them few hints may be ac
ceptable.
The piece de resistance Of a college
'trousseau" is the shirt waist and golf
or walking skirt OF course, there must be
tailor suit for chSrch and matinee wear,
rather elaborate reception gown and a
number of pretty simple evening frocks
But these pale to insignifcance before the
prominence of the shirt waist and short
skirt. In these the college girl will mainly
"uve and move and have her being
White Remaining Good.
The work of shirt waist preparation will
be much lghtened this fall. The summers
penchant for white has done away with
the usual unwearable quantity OF faded
colored shirt waists There is reason
why the college girl should not utilize many
of her summer waists for winter wear
This is especially true since fashion de-
crees that the heavy English vestings shall
take the place to a great extent of flannel
or silk. Indeed except for elaborate even
ing or dinner blouses, the silk waist seems
to have disappeared off the face of the
fashionab BILE earth.
Shirt waist models for fall show little diff
ference from the summer styles. The sleeve
is tight fitting to the elbow, and then flares
into a puff. which is drawn in at the hand
into tight-buttoned cuff. The shoulders
are still broad. and the curved waist line
