The supreme court OH Monday
rendered a very important decision as
to the liability of bondsmen OF dispen-
sary constables. The case arose from
that of Wieters, a blind tiger! dealen In
Charleston, who alleged that consta-
bIes in making search Of his place as
saulted him. He sued them for dam
ages in the sum OF $4,000 each ana
Wher. the case was called the state,
through the attorney general, demur-
red. The case. was taken TO-. the SUI
preme court and the effect of the de-
cision is to hold the bondsmen liable
in such cases. The practical outcome
will be that the case will go back TO
the lower court for trial and for the
assessment of damages IL any be al

THIS secret order Of General Oku,
Of the Japanese army, was captured
by the Russians recently and by them
given out.
Throughout all fights all, from the
chief to the last soldier have done
their duty. Nevertheless, we have not
yet been able to thoroughly defeat the
enemy. The most difficult and heaV-
lest fighting Is yet before us, and the
end of the war is far distant. Let
commanders instruct subordinates that
any hesitation or irresolution increases
the loss, and a determined attack
lessons loss. II Is, therefore impera-
tive to advance with determination.
Commanders must punish the unwor-
thy without the slightest mercy. There
must be no following personal incli-
nations except in the strict line or
duty"
That seems to cover the whole ques-
ton pretty we'll, and in a large meas
ure explains the Japanese successes.
But as a matter Of fact Is 1t not the
real secret of success in every day
life. Do your duty and go forward.
The man who retreats or who tries to
escape his burden, always gets the
worst of the undertaking. Ninety-nine

PEOPLE who have pledged them
selves to reduce their cotton acreage
should carry out their obligation, be-
cause they have made it. We have
no information to indicate that any
body who signed the pledge intends tc
violate the same. We are quite sat-
isfied however tnat the generally ex.
pressed determination to reduce the
acreage has had much, If not every
thing to do with holding prices up tc
present figures. If the cotton plant
ers insist on planting as much cotton
as they think they can work, prices
will certainly decline. The man who
reduces his acreage is the man who
Is coming out on top. If prices rule
higher, he will get the benefit, and II
they rule lower, he will not have sc
much to lose. Corn Is a good price
now. There is more clear profit in II
at present prices than there is in
cents cotton. AS a business PROPOSE
ton, therefore, It is safe to plant corr
almost without limit. If cotton Is
high, corn will necessarily be high also
and If cotton is low, corn will be ever
more valuable In proportion.

A Hint About Buttons.

The buttons of the winter are rich
ly elegant, but the person who does
not want to pay quite so much for her
buttons as Dame Fashion requires,
can still keep in the march of style
by making her own buttons. She can
cover button molds and make a set
of buttons every whit as elegant as
any she can buy.
One lovely button set consisted OF
button mOlds covered with turquoise
blue velvet. In the very center OF
each button there was sewed a little
bit of pearl. Another and more elab-
crate button was covered with blue
silk. And on top of the button was
a very tiny blue silk rosette, making
a button as round as ball. Buttons
with much handiwOrk on them are
used for ornament, not utility.
There are button sets, made of but
ton mOlds covered with silk in all
sizes, to be used in various ways in
the trimming of a costume. There
are the tiny little buttons, and the
buttons of medium size, terminating
with the great fiat ones that are used
for the backs and the fronts of the
DirectOire coats. Thus one manages
to get variety.
a set of this description was hand
embroidered, in white, each button
with a different pattern worked upon
it. Crosses and other conventional
designs were worked out and the SET
when completed was as stylish as one
/ would want.

Wavina Paradise Plume.

The paradise plume, either in the
natural feather or some one or an
other of the skllfully made limitations
and some of these are simply mar
velous in their fidelity to nature-is
one of the best things of the season.
The hat is Of seal brown paon velvet,
the fabric stretched tight over the
brim, with a shirred edge for binding.
The crown is high and narrow, and a
soft drapery of brown chiffon faille
ending in two reversed loops and
caught with a smart jet buckleSmakes
a good trimming effect The paradise
plume is posed at the right side,
starting at the crown, and the slender
tips fall over the brim. There is no
bandeau to this shape, the head size
fitting comfortably without.

profitably. He has been doing this for
twelve years with such good results
that the secretary of agriculture and
the congress of the United States
highly approve his deeds and both are
extending him liberal assistance.
"My idea from the start" said DR..
Shepard, was to add an additional
crop to the farm products of the coun-
try. The road to agricultural SUI
premacy is through diversifying. My

gratified with what has been accom-.
plished.
"Tea-raising in the United States is
certainly practicable. 1t is no new
thing in this country, for in the old
days French priest planted tea on
the banks of the Ashley river. But
owing to the difference in the ccst of
labor the United States can not com.
pete with the orient in low-grade or
cheap teas. 1t will pay us to produce
only that of the highest quality, which
brings a high price In market. The
tea grown on my place in South Car

New Styles In laces.

Eaces are used as bOrderings and
as wide fiat trimmings and as decora-
tive bits in the gown. But, instead OF
being inset, the lace Is laid fatty on
top of the goods and is bordered with
narrow band or a piping Of silk or
satin, This gives it wonderful
strength and a fine finish
A great many laces are applied in
long panelesque fashion and, for this
purpose, the strong heavy laces are
used. And, then, along each side OF
the lace panel there is an opportunity
for some very fine handwork. One
lace panel was bordered with embroid-
cred daisies in the middle of which
was set little rhinestone. Another
lace panel was bOrdered with roses
upon the petals of which there were
fastened the smallest seed pearls,
just enough to look like drops of dew.

Another ornament is in the shape OF
dragon fly. The body Is one mass
of brilliant gems. A great ruby Is
set into the head and the eyes are OF
opals. But all this solidity is lost
when 1t comes to the wings, which
are fashioned of a special metal,
drawn to the fineness of a thread, and
then woven with faithful accuracy to
the structure of natural wing The
effect Is beyond description.
At last some genius, at loss for new
IDEAS, has utilized the wild carrot in
hair ornaments. An example Is one
representing the full-blown flower, the
center of a solid mass of opals, the
surrounding circles being of white
enamel. The entire flower is worked
out in detail, and diamonds further
separate the natural divisions of the
bloom.
