ON WINEING A WOMAN.
Herb ert keicey Enrmerates Ihir-
teen Ways Of Counting.

The New York Journal recently
published a Sympc SUM Of opinions as
to "The Way to Win a Woman
Herbert Kelcey, who, with Eaie Shan.
ncn, has just scored an enormous sue
cess in TAPS" at the Lyric Theater,
suggested the following thirteen
methods:
/. Be considerate Of her in small
thirgs. Small things make up VIC.
man's life.
2. Remember always that every
where in the animal Kingdom kind
and not sex makes difference in brain.
3. Need her and let her know it.
Women understand best that it is
more blessed to give than to receive.
4. Let her feel before, and partlc--
ularly after marriage, that she is more
important than your business. You
wouldn't care to be supplaoted in her
thoughts by constant musing over
that s3.17 that slipped through her
hands yesterday.
5. Before marriage kiss her as
though she were your Wife-afterward
Fkiss her as though she were your
sweetheart.
s. Never abuse her confidence. Her
faith in you is capital, which you will
have to invest many times.
7. Compel her respect Respect is
the mother, and admiration the IA
ther of love.
8. Take an interest IN her affairs.
You would be hurt il she took no in
terest in yours.
9. Devote at least quarter Of the
thought to entertaining her during a
lifetime that you would devote to en-.
pertaining her pretty sister half an
hour.
10. Don't mag" Men nag as much
as women, and vaccination, the Sow

than the quick incision Ct the sur
geon's knife.
II. Remember that she Is the bet
ter half OF yourself and to thine own
self be true.''
IL. Be generous, not lavish. When
she is your wife, she is your partner.
Never compel her to ask for money. a
woman feels dependence as much as a
man would.
13. I have devoted as much atten-
tion to the subject Of whining the
woman you have won as to winning
the woman you haven't. It is more
important to keep the love OF your
wife than to create love In the object

the nation needed Indiana. Speaking
Of what be called the Republican ar
gument that the silver and gold Dem

"We find Simon Miller and Russell
Mccormick guilty of manslaughter
and Joseph Miller guilty Of carrying
an unlawful weapon" Such was the
verdict Of the jury rendered. at 9
O'Clock Wednesday morning in the
case Of the state against the Miller
boys and Mccormick, charged with
the killing OF the Truesdale negro at
Long bridge in Saluda County in
April last. The case went to tie Jury
at 4 O'Clock Tuesday, who after re-.
naming out for II hours returned
their verdict. The defense put up
a strong fight and the testimony put
up by them was contradictory at al
most every material point to that OF
the state. The plea OF self.defenSe
was interpOSe6.

GROVER Cleveland made a speech
Saturday night in New York before q
great audience which went wild with
enthusiasm. The speech was an efec-
tive puncturing Of the Republican
bubie claim of credit for everything
that has been done for the country's
good. Imperialism and bad faith Ii
the Panama affair were vigorously
scored. We believe that CleVeland's
speech will help Parker In New Yorka

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.
Some Interesting Figures About the
Number Killed and Injured.

Recently the Pail Mall Gazette, re-
ferring to railroad accidents in the.
United States, said: "They are tar:
too common in America, especially Of
late. The fact that it is large coun.S
try with plenty CT room for them to
happen in is not sufficient to, explain:
them. Probably the fundamental;
cause is the nasty and imperfect coz

This statement prompted a writer.
in the New York World to compile,
some inter sting figures. These fg-

enormously larger number who are,
killed or injured each year getting on

OUR GRANDMoTHER's BIBLE.


On one Of the shelves Of our library,
surrounded by volumes Of all kinds,
on various subjects and in various
languages, stands an old book, in it's
plain covering Of brown paper, unpre-
possessing to the eye, ah5 apparently
out of place among the more preten-
tious volumes that stand by its side.
To the eye of the stranger it certainly
has neither beauty nor comliness. Its
covers are worn; it's lsaVes marred by
long use; its pages, once white, have
become yellow with age;yet worn and
old as it Is, to US it is the most beau
tiful and nost valuable book on our
shelves, No other awakens such as
sociations, or so appeals to all that is
best and noblest within us. 1t IS, or
rather it was, our grandmother'S b.
ble-companion If her best and boli-
est hours, source Of her unspeakble
Joy an consolation. It was the light
to her feet and lamp to her path. 1t
was constantly by her side and, as her
steps tottered in the advance pilgrim
age Of life, and her eyes grew dim
with age, more and more precious to
her became the well-worn rages.
One morning, just as the stars were
fading into the dawn Of the coming
Sabbath, the aged pilgrim passed on
beyond the morning, and entered into
the rest Of the eternal Sabbath-to
look upon the face Of Him Of whom
the law and the prophets had spoken,
ard whom, not having seen, she had
loved. And now, no legacy is, to US,
more precious than that old Bible.
Years have passed; but it stands there
on its shelf, eloquent as ever, witness

Because Of the drought in Alabama

many miles almost daily to prevent

The Cotton Outlook.

S. F. B. Morse, the New York cot
ton expert, advises the planters to
''stand firm and dictate the price" In
a communication to the Manufactur-
ers' Record ne says: II am reliably In.
formed that foreign cotton commit
ment for October exceeds 100000
bales. Strenuous efforts will be made
to aepress all future markets. Advise
planters to stand firm and dictate
price"
To this warning OF a bear combina-
tion the Record also adds it's testi-
mony, saying: The Manufacturers
Record has also learned from other
sources that the spectators have just
formed a very powerful combination
to force prices down, and as every bale
OF this years crop will be needed and
can 20 into consumption at fair, not
an extravagant price to the farmer,
with profit to the spinners il the spin
ners will work as hard to advance cot
ton goods as many Of them have to de-
press the price OF cotton, it IS inpor-
tant that the cotton planter should
get the real value Of his crop"
The Atlanta Journal says the
warning Of Mr.. Morse and of the Re
cord concerning bear combination,
reveals only the usual state OF affairs.
There always is concerted effort to
keep tie price down until after the
farmer has parted with the greater
part of his crop. The advice to stand
firm and dictate the price, is good, as
a general proposition, but it IS easier
for Mr. Morse, and for US, to advise
the planters to hold their cotton thar
it often is for them to do SO. We
should advise them to hold it as loLg
as they can do so; but the length OF
time which it can be held must neces-
sarily depend on the circumstances OF
the individual holders. The advice is
all right-the only trouble is that
great many will find it pretty hard to
