After more than II months in
prison and three mistrials on the
charge of numbering Caesar Young,
Nan Patterson, the show girl, is a
free woman, and the probability is
that she will never again be tried on
this charge. Her trials were remark
able in that the vast and powerful
machinery of the great State of New
York were exhausted to convict her
without avail and the conduct of the
case by District Attorney Jerome and
Ills assistants was SO apparently a
studied effort on the part of the
State to persecute rather then prose
cute the unfortunate girl that univer-
sal sympathy was awakened for her.

Single 5lessedness.
Wonan's Life.

W O@AASSAA - ~~AS.
At best it is only in the exercise of
a great unselfshness that the elderly
spinster can continue to enjoy the
sunshine of happiness. So long as
people are young there need not be
much loneliness in the single state
of either man or woman. The
sweets of liberty and the unconscious
hope of happiness to come make up
for much that is lost in the present.
It is when life begins to grow gray,
when old friends, through death,
through marriage or through exi-
gencies of time and place have fallen
away and new friends are more diff.
cult to make-it is then that both
the spinster and the bachelor will
feel the inexorable ache of loneliness.
And the outlook then Is worse for
the spinster than for the bachelor
because it is more inexorable. A
man, if he has the means to support
q wife and often if he has not, can
always turn to matrimony as a pos.
sible consolation when he chooses,
and he knows that.

Cotton Bags Displacing Jute.


Charleston, May 1.-THE idea OF
a more general utilization of cotton
bags instead of jute is spreading, as
was evidenced this morning in the
receipt by the Royal Bag and Yarn
factory of large order from the
Orange Rice Mill company, OF
Orange, Texas, for bags, the MILL
having determined to use cotton in
stead of jute bags. The CORES
pondence of President G. A. Wage
ner shows that there is q general
interest in the subject and as a re-
suit of the agitation, there will be
a greater demand for the Southern
stale. A number of very large
orders have recently been received
by the Charleston mill and there
seems to be a general appreciation OF
the benefits and advantages of cotton
bagging over jute through this sec.
tion. As result of the increased
demand for cotton bagging, the mill
is putting in additional machinery
and erecting more houses for its
operatives.

The principal to be observed ir
both budding and grating is sub
stantially the same. The idea is tc
80 place the parts to be joined that
the one is closely fitted to the other
and so to be held by tying or other
wise until the parts thus brought
together become united into one
growth.
The ordinary play of the all
should be excluded until union be-
tween the parts sought to be joined
has actually been formed.
In budding, bud is transferred
from one tree to another. This is
done when the bark on the tree
from which the bud is transferred
and that to which it is taken will
seperate from the wood-peel, IS it
is said.
A sharp knife-there are knives
made for the purpose-to do nice
cutting is required to open the way
to where the bud is to be inserted,
and also in removing the bud from
it's place of origin. After the bud is
inserted in it's new place, the bark
raised in giving it admission is
brought carefully and closely around
it, taking care that the bud protrudes
above the tying.
There are many different kinds of
grating - whip grating, veneer
grating, side grating, inlaying,
cleft grating, bark grating, her.
baceous grating, seed grating, cut
ting grating, marching, double
working.

Budding and Grating.

There are very apt to be times
when it would be to the interest of
every good farmer to know how to
bud and graft.
The doing of these things is sim
pie enough when once one has seen
them done by person who really
knows how. More help can be given
in suck cases by one object lesson
than by many lessons furnished
otherwise, and hence our advice to
those who would best and most
assuredly be informed regarding
these affairs is to go to nursery

The Odd Fellows Convention.

The Odd Fellows Convention.
Greenwood, May 10-The annual
State convention of the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows began it's
session here this morning at the
court house when Grand Master
John J. McSWain, of Greenville, call
ed the meeting to order.
There are about 200 delegates in
attendance. The assembly this year
is made up of practically three con-
ventions, embracing the annual con.
vention of the Odd Fellows, the
Rebecca assembly, composed of the
ladies of the order and the grand en-
campment.
The main feature of the session
was the acceptance of the orphans
home property and the adoption OF
the rules which are to govern the
institution. The club rlsn was modi'
fed and for one year the entrance
fee for all subordinate lodges in this
State will be So. Fifteen hundred
new members were admitted in 1904
and nearly $4,000 was spent for re-
lief. Fourteen new lodges were
instituted and the number of Odd
Fellows in South Carolina now ex-
ceed 5000. The encsmpment branch
of the order was strengthened by
the formation of a state grand en-
campment.

whv Suffer from rheumatism

Why suffer from rheumatism when one
application Of Chamberlain's Pain Balm
will relieve the pain? The quick relief
which this iniment affords makes rest and
sleep possible, and that alone is worth
many times its cost. Many who have
used it hoping only for short relief from
suffering have been happily surprised to
find that after awhile the relief became
permanent. Mrs. Y. q. Leggett, Of Yum
Yum, Tennessee, q. S. A.. writes: Il am
a great sufferer from rheumatism, all over
from head to foot, and Chamberlain's Pain
Balm is the only thing that vii relieve the
pain" For sale by The Hartmann Drug

There is brighter day ahead for the
town of Lexington. All the signs OF
the times point in that direction and
unless all signs fail our people may
reasonably hope to see wonderful
changes wrought in the appearance
of our town both as regards it's bust
ness interests and social conditions
in the next few years to come. And,
why should it not be thus. Lexing-
ton is the county seat of live, pro-
gressive county; it is eligibly located
convenient as market for buying and
selling, for large scope of country,
and the merchants and all classes OF
business have felt the influx of the
tide OF trade which has turned TO-
ward Lexington and with increased
business facilities to meet and supply
the demand.
The time is ripe for our people to
get together and with strong pull,
q long pull and a pull altogether build
ND and extend the business influence
of the town. In union there is
strength, but in division there is

we are proud, but there is much more
to be done if we would retain and

WOMAN WALKED
FROM OPEN BRIDGE
BODY SANK IN CHICAGO RIVER
AND COULD NOT BE RE-
COVERED.
Rv Associated Press.

Chicago, Aug. 29.-In sight of hun
dreds Of passengers crowded about
the rail of the steamer Eastland. a
woman walked from the partly swung
bridge into the river at Wells street
last night as the bridge moved back
into place, after the passing Of the
excursion boat. The efforts of dOz-
en- life-savers who leaped from boats
and docks to the river were futile,
as the victim failed to rise to the
surface after the fall.
The playing Of the excursion boat s
searchlight about the spot and shrieks
of the whistle caused much excite
ment on the boat and among passen-
gers in the Northwestern railway de-
pot Scores of suburbanites missed
trains while they fingered about the
docks and aided in the search.
Descriptions of the woman given
by the scores of witnesses who saw
her walk from the bridge differ mate
rally, but the police believe she was
about forty years old, and of matron-
iy figure and aspect.

CABIN
Crowds Flock at Portland Expos
ton Where Ranch D0miCile
Is on Exhibition.

Portland. Aug. 29.-Questions of
politics and opinions for or against
the Presidents policies apparently
bear little weight with visitors at the
Lewis and Clark Exposition, for the
Roosevelt cabin in the North Dakota
section of the Agriculture and Horti-
culture building has interested visit
tors from every state in the union,
and of every political creed. The
cabin brought from the ranch which
the President owned in the eighties
and set up again at the fair, is the
striking feature of North Dakota's
most interesting showing.
A register is maintained within the
cabin, where visitors may inscribe
their names. Four books are now
filled with names of $4,000 visitors
who have registered. The registered
visitors constitute only 4 small pro-
portion of the number who visit the
cabin. The total is estimated at half
a million. The cabin is built of logs,
which are whitewashed on the inner
side, and every available inch of space
bears a scrubbed signature. Visitors
have written their names on the win
dow sills and the door casing, and the
little placards describing the several
Roosevelt relics are black with sig.
natures.
