AS to the shape of the popular pet

widening of the outside skirt must
naturally soon effect an increase In
the under one. The best gown skirts
in the market are already very full

petticoats will soon be as wide as they

Again, a long chemise of black pom
gee or China silk will be worn, or the
corset adjusted over the long silk pet
ticoat, though in this case the garters
must be worn around the leg.
To obviate the awkwardness of the
shoulder straps, undervests, intended
for transparent bodices, come without
shoulder pieces. A soft silk tape holds
the wide band about the figure, and
instead of the usual tight corset cover
a filmy chemise is worn over this de-
tail, this providing the skirt as well.
Among the trihes supplied for the
comfort of the feminine toilette are
shield pins, which may be bought for

BEAUTY DON'TS FOR
THOSE WHO WANT
TO DRESS WELL

Don't think that beauty unadorned is
adorned the most. In spite of the poets
dress has much to do with personal
loneliness.
Don't give slavish subservience to
fashion. That is INDUCED in only by
the most scatter-brained. On the
other hand. to display a contempt for
fashion is vulgar.
Don't try to attract attention by
your dress. This is done by the wom-
an who knows she has nothing at
tractive in herself.
Don't use raiment, consciously or
unconsciously, to create envy. Fine
dresses then sink to the level of vul-
garity.
Don't forget that dress, like archi-
lecture, is based on certain practical
requirements, and the first require
ment is appropriateness to the occa-
sion.
Don't suspend clothing from the
hips, but from the shoulders, If you
want to keep wrinkles and crows leet
in allegiance.
Don't draw corset-laces too taut
An elephant takes eight breaths MIN
ute, a mouse 100. A tightly-laced wom-
an takes pretty nearly as many as
the mouse, and is of just as little ac-
count.
Don't have a tight collar band 70

4 TRUE 70 HIS PRINCIPLES
Excellent Example Of Pessimisn In
North Carolina.


DR.. Charles D. McIver, president
of the North Carolina State Normal
and Industrial College, told story Of
rural pessimlsm at a dinner given by
Robert c. Ogden in honor Of the Gen
eral and Southern Education Boards
"There was once a North Carolina
countryman," he said, who had ar
idea that gayety was synonymous
with evil, an idea that he inculcated
into. his family life. 1t came to pass
that the man committed murde. and
was sentenced to be hanged. Now.
In that part of the world the only
chances for amusement were in going
to hangings or travelling circuses
When the day on which he was to be
executed approached, the condemned
man wrote a note to his wife, saying:
"'Don't let the children come to the
hanging. 1 know you'll be there, but
do please keep the little ones away.
ITO this the wife replied:
Its just like you to ask what you
do. You never dc want the children

FALL RIVER ALARMED.

Fall River, Mass, May 1.-THE con-
tinued rise in the price Of raw cot
ton and the stagnaticn in the cloth
market, together with certain other
unfavorable features, are. causing
some uneasiness among many of the
managers of the forty manufacturing
corporations in this city. Mill own
ers in Rhode Island and elsewhere also
are watching the situation closely, but
in no section has a satisfactory remedy
been decided upon. Manufactures
assert that wages, as well as the price
of cotton, are too high, while the
price of cloth is too low.
Some of the managers favor a ser-
eral reduction in wages, while Others
advocate curtailment in production,
but so far there has been little DISPOSE
tion among mill treasnrers to act IN
harmony.
Manufacturers say the high price of
cotton is not the only difficulty which
confronts them. They say the cotton
they are compelled to buy is either
tinged, stained or dirty, and they
cannot hope to store goods made from
this kind of staple at the high notch
costs now prevailing. Much of the cot
ton that is being offered is little bet
ter than high grade waste, but the
brokers say that prices for other grades
are prohibitive, and there is little
hope for the manufacturers to choose
from.

low that night or this morning. One
hundred and twenty FIVE reunion
tickets were sold by The; A. G. Il.
ticket agent yesterday morning and the
earlier train over the Southern by,
carried a small deleagtzor. OF old SOL
diars. But the Sumter crowd was
only part of the delegation from
this section. The Bennet5sville train
came in with five coaches we'll filed,
and the Charleston train had at least
two hundred on board when 1t arrived.
The Charleston train carried seven
full coaches through to Columbia and
the Bennettsvllle train was sent on to
Columbia, as second section of No.
50, with five coaches crowded with re-
union visitors. It is estimated that
the two trains carried in the neighbor-
hood of $50 to 700 passengers, of whom
the majority were veterans
In the rush aud crowd at the depot
yesterday morning it was impossible to
obtain a complete list of the Sumter
county veterans, but as there were so
many of them it is safe to say that
any old soldier who is missing from
his accustomed haunts during the next
few days is having Jolly time with
his old comrades in Columbia.

The MARKET GOES Wild.
Cotton in New York and Else
where Goes Up by Bounds and
all Records are Broken.

New York, May ll.-There was a
wild market in cotton trading today,
with prices covering range Of a dol
lar bale in this market from Satur-
days closing quotations, and $3.50 to
81 a bale in New Orleans. Prices
scared at the commencement of busi-
ness, going up by leaps and boundings
on trading, 20 to 25 points here, and
80 20 40 points at New Orleans. The
Liverpool markets were almost equally
excited. There spot cotton advanced
10 points or equivalent to 81 per bale
in our fluctuations to the basis of 5s
Sd per pound for n,iddling cotton,
which is equivalent to LEO cents in
our markets.
At all points all previous high res
cords for cotton options and also spot
cotton on this seasons crop were sur
passed. Spot cotton here is held at
about 11.15 cents per pound and l03a
cents at New Orleans, against 934
cents last year.
There has not been anything like the
equivalent of these high prices since
the last week of January, 1901. when
option and spot cotton in this market
was forced up to II cents per pound.
That was the highest record for cotton
since 1890, when it sold in January Of
that year in this market at 1234 cents
and about I'd per pound at Liverpool,
after a prolonged season Of bull
speculation.
The shorts in the May option here
we're practically all driven in last week
except some spot dealers who intend
to make good their deliveries. That
option will soon retire. The stock
of cotton here Of contract grade,
which was only 80, 600 bales month
ago, has gradually been increased to
about so, 600 bales, through the recent
steady advance in prices, attracting
cotton here.
Almost every stock broker was loaded
with buying orders when the market
opened, and there was great roar
when trading began. May sold as high
as 11.20 in the afternoon. July, which
closed at 10. %, started at 10. 40 bid and
was bid up to 10. 80 before there were
any sales. Then the transactions were
on an enormous scale, ranging from
that price down to 10. 45 to 1919, and
then there was break to 10.41. The
August option, which closed at 9.97,
started at 1920, and 1921, and was
as heavily traded in as July, while
the September option Of next years
crop, which has only just been planted
and which closed at 9.2S, opened IA
points higher at 9.42, and sold up to
9.44, and then broke 10 points and
afterwards rallied to $40. These three
months July, August and September,
were those which we're most heavily
dealt in.
At New Orleans the July option.
which Saturday advanced Is points and
closed at 1145, started at 35 points
higher at llS0, and then sold at
II. 70, and 1l.75, while August, which
closed at 1860, started % points high
er at 1921.

Aiken.

Ed Jones, white, son of old nan
George w. Jones, was brought to this
city Thursday afternoon from Langley,
where be had been arrested, and COM
mitted to jail to await trial at the
next term Of court in Lee county.
He is charged with poisoning Mrs.
Manning Rogers, and thereby causing
her death and eIoping with a daughter
Of his victim. He had wife sRd
family, but deserted them, it is
charged, to run away with the Rogers
girl. He went to Aiken county and it

girl have been living there as man and
wife.
Jones lived in Spring Hill township
not far from Bradford Springs, and
Mrs. Rogers was of the same neigh
borhood and Jones was hired to work
for her this year. Her death occurred
about two months ago.
Jones left his home about two weeks
ago. 1t is said that he was known at
Langley where he was arrested, by
the name of DuRant, which is his
middle name.
Jones denies all the charges, and
wept bitterly when he was committed
to Jail last night, claiming that he
went away to hunt work, being out Of
employment after the death of Mrs.
Rogers.
