What a Farmer Did.

Ten years ago farmer put his initials
on dollar bill, went to the nearest town
the next day and spent it with merchant.
Before the year was out he got the dollar
back. Four times in six years the dollar
came back to him for produce and three
times he heard of it in the pockets of his
.neighbors. The last time he got it four
years ago he sent it to mail order house.
He has not seen the dollar since and
never will. That dollar will never pay
any more school or road TAX for him, will
never build up or brighten any of the
homes of the community. He sent it en-
tirely out of the circle of usefulness to
himself and his neighbors.-Exchange.

lmmOdest Dressing.

Now that summer weather is approach
ing wish to beg our fair women not to
dress as many of them did last summer.
They then seemed to imagine that the
more the dress exposed the person the
more stylish it was. If arms, shoulders
and bust, were not bare, they were cover
led with the fimsiest peek-a.boo lace or
fgauze. The sight was embarrassing to
hardened men, and called forth many half
sneering comments. One of these under
dressed ladies, visitor to a Georgia
town, was leaving the presence ola group
of men, when one of them said as he
bowed to her, 81 hope to see more OF you,
Miss Blank, before you leave town." 81
don't see how he can well see more OF
herr commented another man in low
voice.
Our good women are very scorntul OF
their fallen sisters. Why, then, do they
strive to initiate and outdo them in dress
ing immodestly? Do they think this style
of dress is admired by men? If so, 1t IS a
mistake. 1t brings up no thought OF a
woman's purity and delicacy-qualities
that to women are as grace and fragrance
10 q flower. Recently heard young
man say that it made him feel ashamed
for certain girls when he was in their
company, they had so little covering on
their bodies. Think of women who
wonld deem themselves insulted if their
purity were called in question dressing in
snch a manner as to embarrass even a
man of the world! In decency's and NOR
ality's sake, dear women, try to dress IN a
way more worthy Of your better sense
and taste and of the respect OF the men,
whom it is said women dress to please

QUALITY VS.. QUANTITY.

Hard muscles and strong body do not
depend on the quantity of food you eat,
but on its perfect digestion and proper

what you eat regardless of the condition
of the stomach and conveys the nutrient

Remarkable Haul in Fish Basket.

James H. Bagwell, of this city, yester-
day made remarkable haul while fishing
in Chattahoochee river near Chatta-
hoochee Park. He brought up basket
which he at once recognized as one be
longing to him last year. About a year
ago he was basket fishing and hauling
this identical basket to the surface found
three fairly good sized fish in it.
The basket slipped back into the river
and was not seen again until yesterday,
when it was found with the three fish still
in. it-alive and grown considerably
larger.-Gainsville Correspondence At

They Must 60.

The North Carolina supreme court has
affirmed the decision of the lower court
sustaining the act passed by the last legis-
lature prohibiting "bucket shops" and the
practice of dealing in futures. The law
makes it a misdemeanor to open place
where quotations on futures are furnished
or to buy or sell options for future de-
livery when the actual delivery of the
goods is not contemplated. The effect of
the decision is to close up all branches of
cotton exchange houses in that state
doin a future business.

he puts on his hat and says, "Great Scott!

Judge Henry McGinn, who was recent

Widespread attention has been attract
ed by the reported threats of Chinese
boycott against American-made goods, in
retaliation for the action of this govern
ment in enforcing the provisions OF the
old Chinese exclusion law. The matter is
of special interest in the South, because
of the large volume of our cotton textile
trade with China, and if she carries out
the boycott the South will be the great
sufferer.

No "Pretty Men" Need Apply.

An employer does not as a general
thing like to hire "pretty man." and he
has we'll defined reasons for his prejudice.
"When man is so blamed good look
ing he generally has got it on his mind so
hard that he hasn't got time for anything
else," says one employer. Maybe he can't
help it; but then again, maybe he's done
whole lot toward making it possible,
caring for his complexion, etc. Anyhow,
it generally proves to be the case that
when fellows exceptionally good look
ing he isn't much good for anything else.
A man worrying about his looks doesn't

Ex-senator Mayfield's Speech.

In the account of the commencement
exercises of the Orangeburg Collegiate
Institute, we take the following account
of the address of the Hon. 8. G. Mayfeld
from the columns of the Orangeburg
Evening News:
Then came the address by the Hon, 8.
G. Mayfeld, former Senator from Bam-
berg county. Nh. Mayfeld is well known
as an interesting and at times eloquent
speaker. He can always be depended
upon to catch and hold the attention of
any audience, and he did not fail to
please those who heard him last evening.
Mr.. Mayfeld's address was full Of
"meat" to the student of Southern litera-
ture and especially to the student of South
Carolina history. It was brief resume
of the part the State has played in the
world of letters from the present day back
to time far before the Revolution. He
spoke from the standpoint of the scholar
who has delved deep, ard talked of the
part the State had played in the country's
commercial, literary, and historical life.
He brought out two points which should
be impressed upon the. younger genera
ton. First that Eli Whitney did not in
vent the cotton gin, and second that
while South Carolina had produced
Hayne and a Calhoun to. rank with a
Webster, all the New England States were
able to produce but one man OF equal tai.
ent and that man Webster himself.
The address was a splendid effort and
was one which will not soon be forgotten
by those who heard it. 1t was made pos
sible only by the fact that the speaker had
read deeply the long forgotten pages Of
old books, and had read them with jeal-
Gus outlook for the honor of his native
State. He told anecdotes of Simms which
many had never heard before and he
created by his address in the minds OF all
who heard him, q desire to know more OF
the history Of this great State, and to
depend less and less upon the yankee ver-
sion of Southern stories. -.

KILLING AT OLAR.
Fred Gunnels, White, Shoots and Kills GlostU'
Daniels. a Metro.

A telephone message was received from
Olar this "wednesday morning a short
time before We went to press giving the
information that Mr.. Gunnels had killed
negro. The message was from Magis-
trate NJ. D. Reed to E. T. LaFitte, Esq,
and asked that he come down at once and
bring the coroner. Mr.. LaFitte and Cor
oner Zeigler left soon afterwards for
Olar, and the inquest will be held this
"wednesday afternoon.
The Herald at once called up friend
at Olar and asked for some of the partic-
ulars of the killing. The dead negro is
named Gloster Daniels, and the man who
killed him is Mr.. Fred Gunnels. The
shooting occurred Monday morning.
Daniels is negro tenant and was run
ming share crop on Mr.. Gunnels's place.
They had some dispute about cutting oats
or tying oats, it appearing that Mr.. Gun.
nels wanted him to do the work and the
negro refused to do it. No doubt expect
ing or fearing trouble with the negro,
Mr.. Gunnels carried his gun when he
went to see the negro where he was
plowing. Words passed and Mr.. GunnelG
shot him, the load taking effect in his
side. The negro at once ran and went to
Olar and from there to MI. Frank Brab-
hams place, where he received medical
attention. He died Tuesday night.
The negro's statement is that he was
shot while between the plow handles,
but Mr.. Gunnels says the negro had
gun and threatened to shoot him. As
soon as he shot the negro ran and he Sc
cured the gun, which he brought to Olar
and turned over to the magistrate. The
gun is said to be loaded with buckshot.
As to whether there were any eye-wit-
nesses or not we were not informed. This
is the best information We could get con-.
cerning the tragedy in the limited time
at our disposal, but the entire matter will
come out at the inquest. 1t is greatly re-
gretted here, where Mr.. Gunnels is WELL
known and has friends.

TWO DROWNED IN WACCAMAW RIVER.
S. A. Causey and His Little Nephew Died To.

sether-Was Teaching the Boy to Swim.
CONWAY, May 29.-Mr. s. A. Causey
and his nephew, G. Hugh Causey, were
drowned on Sunday at Pitch landing on
the Waccamaw river, four miles below
this place. A number ofmen had gathered
at this place, we'll known to bathers, at
about 10 o'clock in the morning. Mr..
Causey was trying to teach his little
nephew, boy about 10 years old, how to
swim. They were the only ones in the
water at the time, with the exception of
two small boys. Mr.. Causey took his
nephew on his back, and announced his
intention Of swimming across the river,
at that point about 80 yards wide. When
about half way across, he turned around
and started back-the reason for which
no one will ever know. When within q
few feet of the shore, he suddenly sank,
and never rose. As he went down his
nephew loosened his hold, and tried to
reach the bank, but succeeded only in
drifting a few feet farther down stream,
before he too was overcome.
None of the others present were able to
swim, and all efforts made to get a boat
or reach poles out to the struggling boy,
proved unavailing, and the horror had to
be endured of seeing him 60 down before
their eyes, just beyond the reach of help.
Mr.. Causey was noted for his skill as a
swimmer, and various theories have been
put forward to account for this most un-
fortunate accident, the most plausible
being that, due to the extra burden of the
boys weight, he felt his strength ebbing,
and turned back, only to be seized by
cramp before reaching shore. This prob
ably accounts for the fact that he did not
rise after going down the first time.
he was merchant at Bear Swamp,
and leaves wife, but no children. For
the past four years he has been member
of the local camp of Woodmen of the
World, and as soon as the news of the
accident reached this place, as many of
his brethren as could be summoned went
out to the scene. His body was recovered
about ten yards below the point where he
sank, at o'clock in the afternoon; and a
few minutes later the boys body was
found, some distance further down the
river. The members of the camp also
attended the funeral exercises this morn.

ouired inquest at 5 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, and the finding of the jury
was in accordance with the foregoing &C
count of the facts.

Cost of Bad Roads

Col. J. Killebrew, in the Southern
Farm Magazine of Baltimore, says:
No portion of the South can afford to
pay such extortionate rates as are now
paid to get produce to market. This
cannot be less than % cents per tom
mile. not to mention the wear and tear
of wagons and teams and the loss of
time on the roads. One two-horse
wager on a good macadam road should
be able to convey in one load ten
bales of cotton to market or two hogs
heads of tobacco. A good load with
such a conveyance over the miserable
roads of the South is two bales of cot
ton and one very light hogshead of to-
bacco, attended, then, with frequent
miring of both wagon and team. Pub
lie spirit needs to be aroused to this
pitiable condition of the great majority
of the highways of the South. No
money can be expended for public i'm
provements which will bring more
comfort and happiness to 4 greater
number of people. No money eXpend-
ed in building good highways ever
causes regret after the roads are conf
plcted. The improved roads become a
source Of pride to all taxpayers and to
all philosophical citizens.

Weather Hureau Saving.

amount of property saved in one year
by the warnings Of the Weather Blu

found that on an average the people
of the United States saved every year

service. AS the people contribute ST.
100000 every year to its support, this
means that they get annually a divi-
