What About This?

Superstitious people, and there are a
great many of them, always regard the
number Is as being unlucky. They will
never undertake to start anything new
On the 18th Of the month; you couldn't
pay them to spend night in hotel room
with the number Is on the door; likewise
they wouldn't sit down to dinner if there
were already Is at the table; yet these
same superstitious people will carry any
number of quarter dollars in their pockets
and never have the least fear.
If they will take one of their numerous
quarters and look at the tail" side, they
will notice that there are Is stars; the
motto E Pluribus Unum contains Is
letters, the shield is made up of IL bars;
in one claw the eagle is holding 13 arrows,
in the other claw there are Is leaves on
the small branch. Below all these lbs
the value of the coin is given as "quarter
dollar" this also contains 13 letters.
Here we have in all six thirteens on
the coin. Can any of the Suns readers
tell whether this was intentional?-New
York Sun.

No Use for Rat Traps.

A wealthy resident of Philadelphia who
has lately built an expensive 10y cabin on
an island in Penobscot bay tells of his
experience with the fishing and farmin 6
population of the island when he was
building his rustic residence. AS many
workmen were employed for all summer,
the owner of the new home opened a
small store to supply his help with to-
bacco and other needful articles, includ.
ing groceries for those who lived in camps
with their families. One day an cd
laborer named Grant came to the store
and told the clerk that his home was over
run with rats, which destroyed every bit
of food as fast as he took it from the store.
The clerk showed him wire rat trap and
told him he would sell it at cost, and if it
did not satisfy him he could bring it back
after giving it a fair trial. Grant took
the rat trap home, but brought it back a
week later, saying he did not wish to pur-
chase
Didn't it catch any rats for YOU" ask,
ed the clerk.
Every blamed one of them" was the
reply. There isn't rat on the premises
now, and that's why brought the trap
back, as I do not wish to pay out the
money for things cannot use"

None Of Mans Business.

We'd like to know why it is that ladies
have their dress skirts made so long that
they are obliged to carry a half dozen
yards of cloth in their hands in order to
be able to walk?-Arlington News.
Strange how some men will spend so
much valuable time in issueless curiosity
as to the why's of woman's conduct.
There is no why" in the case. No man
knows anything about any woman that
ever lived, except his mother and she is
not like any other woman-not another
like her ever lived. A married man finds
out new things about his wife every day;
finds that he doesn't half know her; never
did know her, never will know her; she's
too much for him, too much for any man
living. She's the riddle of creation. In
time he learns to quit asking fool ques-
tions like the above, and about her net
hose and half hose, or which end of her
dress is short. It's none of his business,
and he won't find out by asking, either

THURSDAY. 0cteber s. 1893.

Brother Decamp, of the Gafney Ledger,
takes up our little squib in regard to the
labor unions in Columbia, and we fully
agree with him in all he says, for his arti-
Gle does not refute single word of what
we wrote. If he will carefully compare
the two, we think he will agree with US
in this. We cheerfully concede the right
of labor to organize, but unions should
be conducted ON the right principle" I"
No doubt they are capital organizations
when controlled by good, honorable,
and Just men," Those unions which we
have known most of 1--WE have had no per-
sonal experience) seem to be controlled
by chad men," and this appears to be the
condition of affairs in Columbia just now.
Therefore that sort of unionism should
be crushed out. We believe in protecting
the laboring man, and We never fail to
do what we think best for his interest
whether it is popular or not. There may
be isolated cases where strikes have been
from Just reasons, but labor unions are
responsible for more lawlessness than any
organization on the face of the earth.

"Once We were engaged to play at a

AN EARTHLY TRINITY.
Health and Wealth Ought to be
Linked With Happiness.

Health and Wealth Ought to BE
Linked With Happiness.
We are used to feel, to put it crudely,
that folks who have health and money
ought to be happy. And SO they should.
A sufficient income promotes comfort,
and that contributes to cheerfulness OF
spirit. and to have health Of course
means to feel we'll, and that Is a long
step toward feeling good. But how far
do we have to look to find persons with
health to squander and more money
than they know how to spend making
strenuous efforts to attain happiness
and merely achieving impaired health?
If YOU have health and money you can
usually buy pleasure, but enjoyment Is
a different article, and even when you
have got enjoyment happiness may
still elude you. Pleasure pals and
sometimes demoralizes; enjoyment cas-
lily yields to WEAKNESS, but you don't
get tired Of being happy, and you may
be ever so tired and be happy still.
Happiness Is a state Of satisfaction.
One reason why it Is 80 elusive may be
because we human creatures are a
complication of body, mind and spirit
and require for our complete satisfac-
ton: q particularly nice adjustment OF
blessings and of conduct. If we in
dulge the body too much the other two
partners become mutinous; II we over
cultivate the mind the body may break
down, and If we bestow all our atten-
ton on mind and body, the spirit, ig-
nored, takes q sure vengeance on US Tor
our neglect. It is 80 difficult 80 to
measure and direct our efforts as to
appease all the demands Of our trtpli-
cate natures that the simpler way Is
to regard happiness as a byproduct,
give over all direct attempts to acquire
q constant supply Of it and simply ac-
cept however much Of it may come
while we go about our business with
such intelligence as we can. We can
usually keep our bodies in fair repair
II we are not too lazy or too self indul-
gent. II we have to earn our hvings
our minds and bodies, too, find occupa'
ton that Is usually wholesome, and
the discipline of work done, as It usual
" is, for others as we'll as for our
selves, helps to satisfy the exactons OF
the spirit.-Harper's Weekly.

Trial Of the kearses.

HAMPTON, Oct. 5-The October term
of court for this county convened this
morning with Judge R. o. Purdy presid-
ing. Solicitor Jas. E. Davis, one of the
ablest criminal lawyers in the State, was
at his post of duty. In the absence of
Mr.. Jas. F. Brynes, Mr. Patterson is act
ing stenographer. The most important
case on the criminal docket is that of the
State VS.. John Kearse and Perry Kearse
for the killing of the fcrmertown marshal,
A. D. Gooding. There is motion pend
ing in this case for change Of venue, in
which event the criminal business will
consume less than a week. There are a
large number of cases on the common
pleas calendar, and it would be impossible
to get all the cases to trial were the entire
time of court devoted to civil cases.
