Cured in Saluda County about 3
thismorning A negro tenant house
on the property of Jacob Lorg
about three miles from the steel
bridge, on kinnard's ferry road
to Saluda, was soaked with kero
sene, and set on fire when the
three immstes were supposed to
be in bed and asleep. a negro
woman, Sallie Ready, was living
in the house with her blind mother
and a small child. One of the wo-
men was awakened by the blaze in
time to summon aid and check the
head way of the flame before much
damage was done. On iuvcsti
CATION it was found that The
mnrderous sche,ha had been care
fully planned, and that only GOOD
fortune prevented tie death Of all
three inmates Of the house. The
building was solid, we'll put to-
gether, having single room
with one door and one window.
The door had been thoroughly sa-
turated with oil and sacks of shay
lngs had been placed outside and
under the window. These shay,
lnGs had also been soaked with
Kerosene aid The stnF was poured
over the staucture at other places.
About 3 o'clock this morning this
completed death trap was set on
Gro. From the fac's cf the case
it is evident that tie woman arose
by the very first sound. She
scattered the shavings, called for
help and the tragedy was narrow>

men OF the community vas held
at Mr.. Longs and the entire sec
ton was aroused. Thoy teiephoned
for blood hounds, but because
the ground was too dryfor them to
be of use they were not sent.
Suspicion pointed strongly to
negro women named CorrieGreen
and later this morning she was
taken into custody. Other par
ties are also suspected, but to this
hour have not been captured.
The investigation is proceeding in
an orderly manner, and there
is no talk of violence.

by improving them? Lack of eyebrows
is the most usual blemish in an other
wise good looking photograph. The
strong light in which the sitter is
placed tends to make a natural growth
appear too scanty, and the most expo
rienced women always darken their
eyebrows with a grease pencil or even
an ordinary one If your lashes are
too light you can darken them, too, and
this is done by a bit of theatrical
makeup. Take a small tin dish, hold
it we a spirit lamp and melt in it
one-fourth of a stick of eyelash CO.'S
metic; then dip a camel's hair brush
in this and pass it lightly owe your
eyelashes while it is still hot and
liquid. 1t is a great improvement also
for those whose lashes are too thin.
If you have thick lips wonders can
be accomplished with a stick Of grease
paint No. 1, flesh color. Using this,
you can mark out considerably more
than a line of the Objectionable red of
the lip, and the remainder can be given
d~istinctness with a touch of pink salve.
With this same means moles will dis
appear in the photograph and scars be-
come beautifully less.
OF course if you have a thin neck
that need not prevent you from being
taken decollete, for the photographer
will remove the bones" A low neck
ed gown is one of the best for a photo
graph because it does not present lido
syncrasies of fashion which are apt to
go out of style.
And don't look pleasant unless you
feel like it. Be natural.

But the future Patt simply went

1t was too hard.

The result was hat the girl who

given a line to speak, while she who
remained planted in one spot for fear
of doing anything else is still in just
about that same spot. as far as her
profession is concerned.
And so it is in everything. It's the

the Jewish origin of the custom of

This is said to have begun from the
mistake of Noah sending the dove out
of the ark before the water had abat-
ed, on the first day of the month which
among the Hebrews answers to our LIST
of April, and to perpetuate the memo
ry of his deliverance it was thought
proper whoever forgot so remarkable
a circumstance, to punish them by
sending them upon some sleeveless en-
rand similar to that Intellectual mes

WOMAN ACCUSES SHERIFF
SMITH OF LIE SUEUR CHARGED
BY MRS. KRITZER WITH CRIMI-
NAL ASSAULT.

LIE Sueur, Mimi, April 20.-Mrs.
Lizzie Kritzer, young and handsome
woman living near this place. has filed
a written complaint with Justice
George J.. Dressed, charging Sheriff
Joseph Smith of LIE Sueur county with
having criminally assaulted her.
The Kritzers live on farm which
they rent of Sheriff Smiths father.
Sheriff Smith called at their home
about two weeks ago, according to the
complaint filed by Mrs. Kritzer, and
persuaded her husband to drive to
town for a keg of beer.
Mrs. Kritzer's father-in-law,. who
also lives at the house, went out to do
some chores. Mrs. Kritzer alleges
that while she was alone in the house
with Sheriff Smith he assaulted her.
A complaint has also been lodged
with the county attorney, but that Of
fetal has taken no action, and Smith
has not been arrested. The matter
will undoubtedly be brought to the
attention Of Governor Van SAINT by
some citizen if charges are not made
by the authorities.
Mrs. Kritzer is is, and bears an
excellent reputation. Smith is serv-
ing his second term as sheriff, and has
been a popular official. He has a
family.

One other feature Of the oats matter
as compared with barley. is that the
latter is crop easily damaged by un-
favorable harvesting weather. Even a
heavy dew stain will take few cents
off the barley price, and such. weather
as we had last fall will knock 10 cents to
Is cents off the price of an entire crop.
The Commercial Record Is confident
that, In advocating wheat and oats In
preference to barley or flax, 1t Is taking
a position that will be more than borne

Poor Outlook for Flax.

Regarding flax It is hardly necessary to
say much, because everyone has pretty
we'll decided what he Is going to do about
1t. Still 1t might not be amiss to call at
tention to some facts that may not be
generally understood.
The average consumption Of fax seed
In this country has been about &c, 900, 900
bushels yearly, and the crops Of 1901
and 1902 produced a surplus of about
900 bushels. over and above eX-
ports and home consumption.
The 1903 crop was around $4,000, 900
bushels and there were exports from
it, so that deducting even 1000, 900 bush
els for seed we will have a surplus of
1000, 900 bushels to be added to the 12,-
900 bushels carried forward from pre-
vious crops. In other words we will have
on hand In this country on Aug. 1 next
about 100000 bushels Of old seed.
AS regards the present price of seed
$1.16 for May, 1t Is one Of manipulation
pure and simple. II our domestic prices
were free Of manipulation we should, or
rather would, be obliged to seek an ex-
port level, and that would be around 80
cents, as seed Is selling in foreign mar
kets at 96 cents to 9S cents. 1t Is barely
possible that the one interest that Is now
making the price Will continue to arti-
fio!auy enhance values. and, on the next
crop, put the price to a still higher level.
But at the present time they are de-
terred from doing so, If such is their
desire, because any higher price would
invite imports.
There can be no question that anything
Iess than $1.s5 per bushel at terminals
is poor price for flax. and a losing prop
