ing home from the hills with a
heavy load of pinion wood and IN
crossing cut IN the road he was
thrown from the spring seat for

wheels passed over one leg below
the knee an,. the thigh of the other.
He was alone ut the time. Fortu-

he managed to climb onto his load
and drove home, but was not able
to leave his room for week or
more and is yet quite lame.

Heavy Rainfall.

The whole section of upper Carolina
was visited by very heavy rains last
week, and great damage is reported in
many sections. On Saturday all the
rivers and creeks were out of their
banks, and many bridges in Oconee,
Pickens, Grcenville and Spartanburg
Counties were washed away and the
crops in the bottom lands destroyed.
In Anderson County tue damage was
not SO great as in the other Counties
mentioned above.
than ever before, and Saturday night
it was feared that the dam Of the An
dcrson Water, Light and Power Co. at
POrtman Shoals would be washed
away. The water reached 0 feet and 4
inches over the top Of the dam, with all
the flood gates open, and was nearly
Jour feet deep on the floor Of the power
house. The dam was not injured. Int
the michinery in the power house could
not be worked until yesterday, aud the
cotton mills and other enterprises in
the city using electric power were clos
ed down ON Monday. All the machin-
cry has been cleaned and everything is
now in good order again.
At Piedmont and pelzer the Saluda
River broke all former records, but no
damage was done to the milh property
IN either town. At Pelzer the water
was three feet deep on the floor of the
iron bridge just below the dam.
Considerable loss was entailed ut
was badly wrecked and about sixty
bales OF cotton h0ated down the river.
Water got up into the second floor OF
tho Newry mill.
Du9ham's Bridge, over the Saluda
River in Brushy Creek Township,
erecteda few years ago by Anderson
and Greenville Counties at cost Of
$4,000, was wished away.
The Blue Ridge Railroad is the only
rnad IL upper Carolina that was not
damaged by the high water. The
Southern Railroad suffered very heavy
losses. The trestle over the 81 tneca
River, between Seneca and Greenville,
was slightly damaged, and one or two
trestles between Greenvillc and Gaff-
ney were washed away. On Sunday

Since the refreshing rains vegetation
has put on new life and is growine

out their cotton now have it to thin
again and fine coat of grass to take

Dear Sir: It is all very we'll for us to
say that II takes fewer gallons OF Devoe
Lead and Zinc to paint house than it
does of mixed paints; but you want to
know why.
For the same reason that 1t takes less
good cows milk to feed baby than it
does OF SKINNED milk.
Most mixed paints are fifteen TO eighty
per cent. n-inconceivable,
but true. Water isn't paint. Barytes
isn't paint. Whiting isn't paint. BEN
zine isn't paint. Petroleum ian't paint.
Fish Oil isn't paint. None Of these do
ahe work that belongs to paint.
All they do is to fill the can.
Devoe Lead and Zinc Is one-hundred
per cent. paint. The adulterated mixed
paints are only twenty to eighty.five per
cent. paint.
Mixed paint ought tc be from fifteen to
eighty per cent. cheaper than Devoe
Lead and Zinc-no; :tho worst Of them

your money; you not only buy moro gal.

Keeping Home for Others.

Many a tired housewife and mother,
robbed of much needed change and
rest by the lack of competent substi-
tute, would be more than relieved
could she turn over her entire house
hold to a temporary housekeeper,
knowing that home and children, hus-
band and hired men would be well
cared for in her absence. There is
scarcely a village or community where
one competent and free to do this work
would not be a Godsend. The mex
perlenced girl will have to content her
self with small pay and much work,
but IL she Is a competent waitress. a
neat and dainty maid and an apt
scholar she will find the work much In
demand and will gradually learn, by
observation until she, too, can aspire
to the dignity of a professional title
AS she progresses people will hear OF
her and her work, demand will follow
and success is assured, for houseworl
Is the one industry which never com
plains of hard times.
A start may be made by taking up {
certain branch of cooking and making
a speciality of it. Orders may be takel
for canned fruits, preserves, jams, jel
lies or pickles and, by buying at whole
sale or nearly so, reasonable profit Il
made. A good speciality would be ont
of the nice cheeses which we find 81
delicious and which require few specia
appliances and only REASONABLE
amount of work. Milk may be pas
teurized in suitable bottles for infants
use and delivered daily and orders ma
be taken for special delicacies to b
delivered regularly once or twice
week.

The Wisconsin State Labor Bureau
has been collecting reasons why girls
prefer working in factories and stores
to household service. Inquiries were
sent to 100 persons, says Chicago
newspaper. Among the answers were
these:
"If ladies' would only give girls bet
ter rooms, kinder treatment, and warm
err beds and let them live Independently,
more girls would do homework"
81 went into factory because l
wished to be treated like human be-
Ing"
The reason l won't do homework
Is because | won't be treated like half
a slave and always a nobody"
II love homework, but, like the host
Of other girls, / refuse to do 1t under
present conditions
"None of the girls | know would do
housework because girl who does II
Is always looked upon as kitchen
drudge, always on duty and seldom
treated justly"
Il am treated better In the FACTORY
in every way, and, besides, l am no
longer obliged to entertain in the
kitchen or receive my friends at the
back door, since I can live at home
with my own people"
There is no sign in these replies of an
insistence on the part of servants that
they be regarded as members of the
family. They desire as little to intrude
on other circles as they wish for intru-
sion upon their own. But they complain
justly when the fact Of social distinc-
lions is thrust upon them with bald bru
tality. The Wisconsin answers, which
would probably be good for any other
State, suggest that upon the untactful
mistress of the house lies large bur.
den Of responsibility for "the servant
girl problem" as 1t s.-Exchange.

The wise housewife is she who would
rather dispense with a reception room
and have a sewing room than vice
versa. The sewing room does not need
to be large. 1t must not contain carpets
or upholstered furniture. The floor
should be stained and vanished, so
that the daily brushing up may be cas-
lily accomplished. There should be
hooks on the wall, from which the
piece-bags should hang. Several shelves
are necessary, where boxes containing
buttons, trimmings, findings, patterns
and the like should be kept. A lapboard
an armless rocking-chair, dress form
and big closet for unfinished work are
other necessaries The machine should
be placed in a strong light, and there
should be long mirror, in which the
hang" of skirt may be viewed with
ease

The Really wer.Dressed Woman.

1t is extremely difficult to find a
woman really well dressed under the
existing prejudice that everybody must
be dressed like everybody else. But
once in while we do find one whose
taste and tact command our admira-
ton. Her first study seems TO be the
becoming; her second, the good her
third, the fashionable. You see this
wise woman giving but scant hearing
to the assurance of shOpmen and the
recommendation Of milliners. She
cares not how new or original pattern
may be, If 1t be ugly; or how recent Il
shape, II 1t be awkward, Not that her
costume is always costly and new; on
the contrary, she wears many IA cheap
dress, but 1t is always pretty-and
many an old one, but 1t is always good

colors, nor does she affect studied

John Il. Mcdonald is a remarkable
man. He was born in Ireland in 1874,
out has lived in New York since he was
three. AS young man he became
connected with the work of contrac-
tor, and 1t was not long before he put
in bid for some contracts Of his own
in the building of the New York Cen
rial tunnel Being successful, he went
INTO railroad construction and did his
work right. But the occasion was to
present itself when he could show that
he was capable of more than ordinary
work. He was living in Baltimore, to
be near his railroad work. The city's
transportation facilities were wretched.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, I'M
able to get franchise for tracks
| through the city on grade, was ferry
ing its trains completely around the
city to make connections with Philadel-
phia. Tunnelng had been put aside.
Baltimore stands on low gravel hills
under which run countless little
streams, perhaps the most difficult Of
soils to tunnel. The problem came to
his attention. He thought it over; he
computed; he estimated; and in the end
he prepared a plan for a tunnel. A
franchise was obtained. The people pro-
tested, declaring that to build tunnel
under Baltimore would imperil life and
endanger property. Day after day with
rubber coat and hip boots Mr.. Nc
Donald went down into the tunnel to
direct the work himself. For five years
the struggle continued. Any visitor to
Baltimore knows the outcome. The
Baltimore Belt Railroad, as the tunnel
is called, is one of the hardest bits of
tunnel construction ever successfully
accomplished.
Now Mr.. Mcdonald is at the head Of
construction company capitalized at
S6,0OO,000, and in the building of the
subway 10000 men are employed by
himself and the sub-contractors.

The Secret of Youth.

The great secret of keeping fresh
and young is to be cheerful and always
to look on the bright side of things. A
sense of humor is gift to be grateful
for. Laughter and light-heartedness
are beauty philtres of the most potent
description.
Gloom, sour looks, discomfort, peev-
ishness and bad temper generate wrin-
kles. With activity Of mind and body,
and a determination to make the best
of life, we may retain our youthful
feelings and our youthful looks.

Don't pick it up every time it cries
or you will instill into it a restless dis
position.
Don't give it any toys until it passes
it's first year. Let it bite it's fist and
play with its toes.
Don't try teaching 1t to walk before
1t is year old. If you do, you may
make it's legs crooked
Don't give it elaborate mechanical
dolls. The rag doll of old times suits
it better and furnishes a lesson in
economy.
Don't worry about its crying If you
have made certain that nothing hurts
it. That's just it's way of developing
its lungs.
Don't hurry 1t into talking. You
may overwork its brain, and, besides,
it will make up for any lost time be-
tween the ages of four and five.

Led in a Praiseworthy Reform

Wisconsin was the first State in the
nation to give married women the alb
solute control over their own prop
erty. Fifty-five years ago, when this
radical change was incorporated in our
constitution, 1t was thought by many
to be dangerous and extreme reform
and yet that grand step has since been
followed by nearly every State in the
Union and no one now says it was a
premature and unwise law.-Milwau-
