Terrible disgrace to his family!

promising young fellow as Jack should

Zle0 CdpeiouS f1uSOdHo'
A certain we'll known politicians
daughter has a husband who is dis
posed to be critical. Most OF his
friends are men of great wealth, who
live extremely we'll, and association
with them has made him somewhat
hard to please in the matter of cook
ing.
What is this meant for he would
! ask, after tasting an entree his wire
had racked her brain to think up.
"What on earth is this?" he would
say when desert came on.
rs this supposed to be salad?" he
! would inquire sarcastically when the
| lettuce was served.
The wife stood it as long as she
could. One evening he came home IN
particularly captious humor. HIS
wife was dressed in her most becom-
ing gown and fairly dubbed over with
wit. They went in to dinner. The
soup tureen was brought in. Tied to
one handle was a card containing the
information in a big round hand:
This is soup"
Roast beef followed, with a placard
announcing: "This is roast beef"
The potatoes were labeled, the
gravy dish was placarded, the olives
bore card marked "Olives," the salad
bowl carried tag marked Salad"
and when the ice cream came in a
card announcing This is ice cream"
came with it,
The wife talked of a thousand diff
ferent things all through the meal.
Never once by word or look did she
refer to the labeled dishes. Neither
then nor thereafter did she say a
word about them, and never since
that evening has the captious husband
ventmed to indulge in criticism of
his home dinners.-New York Press.

Physicians are Liable for Liquor Tax.

Washington, October 3l.-A large
number of letters are being received by
the commissioner of internal revenue on
the subject of alcoholic compounds, such
as patent medicines, essences, etc.,
against which rulings have recently been
made and Commissioner Yerkes is an
swering them as rapidly as possible.
In letter to a correspondent the com
missioner says that there is no special
tax under the internal revenue laws for
the sale of apple cider, but cautions them
that the only safe course for dealers to
pursue is to sell the beverage only under
its true name and not attempt to pass it
off under some other name. 1t is stated
by chemists that the pure apple cider Of
the United States contains more alcohol
than beer.
in another letter the commissioner
writes that druggists may use alcoholic
liquors in compounding physicians pre-
scriptions and in making tinctures for
sale in good faith for medicinal use only,
without subjecting themselves special
tax as liquor dealers.
He decides that a physician cannot
prescribe whiskey to apatient, when not
compounded with medicine, without in
volving himself in special tax liability.
even though he prescribes and sells it for
use as medicine only.

History OF Old Stone Church.

DR.. r. N. Brackett, associate professor
of chemistry of Clemson College, has
spent two years in collecting "The His
tory of Old Stone Church" and saw his
labor of love and fondest hopes realized
last Saturday when he presented to the
people beautiful book, bound in gray
cloth, containing store of valuable in
formation to all lovers of history. The
book is very interesting, containing
sketches written by fine writer's, of such
men as Generals Pickens and Anderson
and others. Prof. w. S. Morrison's adj
dress on Memorial Day, May 4, 1901,
should be read by every pupil of our
schools. The late Prof w. A. Dickson
wrote we'll of his country; and DR..
Bracket secured an article written by
him, calling attention to the grave of
General Anderson in a field unprotected.
A list of those who are buried in Stone
Church cemetery, list of The members
of the o. S. A., and list of the officers
of Andrew Pickens and Cateechee Chap
ters of D. A. r. are found in the book.
The ID. A. r. and the o. S. A. will re-
store the church ana care Tor the sacred
dead. The historian of Andrew Pickens
chapter of d. A. r. has secured the aid
of Congress in making monument to
these beloved soldiers who made Stone
Church.
The history should be in every home.
The book can be secured by sending one
dollar and a half to DR.. Brackett
We trustees should secure copy at
once for the schools.
This quotation is found on the first
page and it expresses my whole senti-
ment:

of their remote ancestors will achieve

 Prices of stocks have backed and filled through the week without getting far from a given level In either direction. There has been evidence of a waiting speculation which was disposed to make tests of the market on any sign of easier money, and the course of the money mar ket during the week has been towards mitigation of the tension in force through all the great money centers. At the same time 1t was clear that the improvement in the money situation was due laregly to the restraint on the speculation and the fear has persisted that any departure from the conservative spirit maintained in the speculation would find resources insufficient to maintain itself.
