THIRTEEN AND QUARTER CENTS.
Price of Cotton Reached in New
York YESTERDAY.

York Yesterday.
Thirteen and a quarter cents for
middlirg cotton was the price paid for
the staple in New York yesterday, the
most phenomenal price to which the
market has scared since Bull Brown
let loose.
In Americas the price was 81 cent?,
a difference of A cents per pound, or
$21 per bale.
Of course this was but a figurRtive
difference, as the New York price was
the result of squeeze wherein one
blackleg gambler squeezed the life out
of another gambler.
1t was the day of reckoning among
the cotton pirates, the professional
gambler who fatten off the tolls of the
farmer And the only regret is that
the life was not squeezed from the
whole rotten lot.
Good middlings, the finest grades of
cotton, brought 81 to 81 cents here, and
as orders were brisk many sales were
effected.

EXCELLENT ROADS IN COUNTY
Will Prove of Great Value to County
at Large,

The discussion Of improved roads in
Sumter county through the working of
misdemeanor conYicts continues, and
despite the slightly increased tax rate
citizens generally hope the change
will prove beneficial, in that it will
soon give to Sumter an excellent sys-
tenn of roads. tits said that in Haral-
son county one can ride 20 and 80 miles
and find as good roads as can be built
in the south. The influence of such
improved public roads in the rapid de-
yelopmeut of rural communities can
not be oyerestimated. The automo-
bile and the fifteen-bale load of cotton
will here find their way along smooth
thoroughfares, that were formerly al
most impossible roads in bad weather.

DISCRIMINATING LADIES.
Enjey Using Herpicide on Account OF
Its DfstinctiYenesa.

Enjey Using Herpicide on Account OF
It's Distinctiveness.
The ladies who have used Newbro's
Herg8cide speak of it in the highest
terms, for it's quick effect in cleansing
the scalp of dandruff and also for it's ex
cellence as a general hair dressing. 1t
makes the scalp feel fresh and it allays
that itching which dandruff will cause.
Newbro's Herpicide effectively cures
dandruff as it destroys the germ that
causes it. The same germ causes hair to
fall out, and later badness; in killing 1t,
Herpicide stops falling hair and prevents
badness 1t is also an ideal hair dress
ing, for it lends an aristocratic charm to
the hair that is quite distinctive. Sold
by leading druggists. Send 1Oc. in stamps
for sample to The Herpicide Co., De-

ADAMS AS A TEACHER.
Few People Know that Our Second
President Was Once q Peda-
.gOgue at Worcester, Mass

The exercises at Worcester, consist
ing Of the unwilling of a bronze tab
let in honor of the second president,
informed most people for the first
time that John Adams taught school
in Worcester when a young man, just
graduate from Harvard college. 1t
was in the first school house erected in
town, according to the Springfield Re
publican. The old building stood at
the souther1y end of the lawn in front
of the American Antiquarian society
building, and it is here that the new
bronze tablet may now be seen.
Charles Francis Adams, one of the
speakers, did not attempt to make an
address, contenting himself with show
ing John Adams diary in which the
schoolmaster of 175S had recorded his
impressions of local life. DR.. Hall and
Senator Hoar were more elaborate In
their remarks. The senator was par
ticularly interesting in his explanation
why Sam Adams, rather than John
Adams, was given the honor of a
statue in the Massachusetts, inches at
Statuary hall in the national capitol
Briefly stated, it was due to the fact
that John Adams did not need the
statue so much IS Samuel in order to
perpetuate his fame. This will i'm
press most of us as peculiar; yet when
ever any Massachusetts,. citizen visits
the capitol at Washington the Sam
Adams statue will be invested with
fresh interest if he knows this fact

Wine and Wit.

The giving of a public testimonial
some times has no real significance,
and is merely the result of previous
promptings for recognition by the re-
cipient, who wishes to have his name
and his fame blazoned in all the news
papers. I was at a surprise party a
night or two ago, at which service of
silver was presented man who wants
to run for Office. There were speeches
galore, more or less insincere, which
were inspired by some of the beverages
that circled the board, and the most
f1amboyant address was made by the
chief guest, who unfortunately, could
not let well enough alone, for under
vinous excitement, he said: '"This is
a noble gift, my boys, and 1 am proud
to say that paid for it myself" When
some one beside him said: ''Sit down;
you're giving the whole snap away"
he replied, Don't hide your face
under the table; I'm telling the truth. -
The moral of this is that man must
avoid an excess of intoxicants at a
public dinner, for when the wine is in
the wit is out, and in this condition
he reveals his true character I'M

Max Muller. A1odesty.

Speaking once of languages to Max

why this caution?" laughed the
lady.
81 will tell you," said the great San
skirt scholar. There came to me one
day, as I sat here in my study-the
Buddha on my hearth-a man who
seemed my ideal of the Sanskrit priest
hood. He spoke to me in an unknown
tongue. I asked him what language
he was speaking.
"The man huddled himself together

'|I have honored you all my life,
said he, tas the greatest living Sanskrit
scholar in all the world. 1 speak to
you simple Sanskrit salutation, and
you do not understand me-
"Since then,'' said Professor Muller
ct never say that I know any Ian
guage."
1t was merely the difference between
the spoken and the written dead
tongue that puzzled him. But that
takes nothing from the humility OF
the linguist-a humility as refreshing
as it is rare, and scarcely the mark OF
the age to which Professor Muller be-
longed.

UNDESIRABLE IMMIGRANTS.
Six Hundred of the Foreigners Who Land
ed in New York Last Year
Public Charges.

Washington, Aug. 3.-The investiga-
ton that Commissioner of immigration
Sargent ordered into the matter of I'M
desirable immigrants becoming public
charges has developed some startling
facts. Yesterday he received report
that no less than 800 of the poorer
class of foreigners who landed at New
York during the last year are now in
mates of the penal and hospitable in
situations of that city and state. The
same report also states that 5000 peo-
pie of the same class were sent back
to Europe during the year and that,
judging from the number which have
been held up so far this year, the num-
Der mentioned is going to be exceeded.
''These figures are only a part Of
what the whole investigation is likely
to disclose" said Mr.. Sargent yester-
day, land I have no doubt that the
other big cities are going to show a
'imilar condition.
