raped a colored woman at Biuffton on
Saturday escaped yesterday from the con.
stable who was bringing him to Beaufort
and is at large. He was given a prelimi-

buggy and over barb wire fence. The
constable fired four shots but missed. A

ANOTHER DlSpENSARY SENSATION.
Mr.. wylie, a Member Of the State Board,
Says it Is Corrupt, then Denies it.

Mr.. Wylie, of the State board Of dis
pensary directors, was on the c. & N. W.
train yesterday morning, going toward
Gastonia and Between Yorkville and Clo-
yer he said in the presence Of DR.. j. E.
Massey and Mr.. F. P. Mccain, who were
going to Glover with the county campaign
party, that the State dispensary has al
ways been corrupt and it is as corrupt
now as it has ever been. He said that the
State board is corrupt; but he is only one
man against two and cannot help himself.
He cited that recently, over his protest,
the other two members of the board had
purchased two thousand cases of social
ed case whiskey. Upon the arrival Of
the whiskey, he, Wylie, insisted on hav-
ing it analyzed. The analysis showed q
per cent of alcohol and the balance was
various kinds of chemicals. AS the re-
suit of the analysis, and Mr.. Wylie's
threatening to make fuss, the liquor
was sent back. DR.. Massey and Mr.. Nc
Cain both repeated Mr.. 'Wylie's state
ment to them in their speeches at Glover.
-Yorkville Enquirer.
Did Major Wylie, of the board Of d.
rectors of the State dispensary, say that
the other members of the board are cor
rupt; that he is only one man against
two, and cannot help himself, but was
able recently to compel the others, by
threats, to return goods purchased over
his protest?
In long distance telephone converse.
ton this morning with a Record man,
whom he called up, Major Wylie denied
the allegation that he had made such
statements, and authorized the newspa-
per man to quote him as strongly, in de-
nial as his command of the language
would permit.-Columbia Record.
Mr.. Mccain puts the matter like this:
"In my speech at the, campaign meet
ing at Clover on Monday, to show the
corruption in the State dispensary man.
agement, stated that Mr.. Wylie Of the
present board of directors had stated to
Drs. Massey and Saye and myself on the
train that morning that the board of d.
rectors of the State had purchased 1000
cases of whiskey over his protest. That
it was found on arrival to contain only
about 2 per cent. of alcohol and was re-
turned to the house from which it was
purchased. I made the deduction from
this that there was still corruption in the
dispensary management. Mr.. Wylie did
not say to me in so many words that the
board was corrupt"

The Mystery of PRAYER,

1t is sometimes urged that prayer is
mysterious. So is everything, if we
stop to think about it. Matter is a
mystery. Nobody knows what matter
is. Force is a mystery. Nobody knows
what force is. Gravitation is a mys.
terry. Nobody knows what gravitation
is.
Nobody knows what takes place
when we drop lump Of sugar into q
cup of coffee. Whether the change Is
mechanical or chemical the very wisest
men are not able to say. We know
just one thing, that by dropping sugar
into the coffee the coffee Is sweetened.
For most Of US that is enough. We
know that by dropping prayer into a
day we sweeten the day. How that
is brought about We do not know. Who
has sight - keen and strong that it can
follow the flight Of song or flight Of
prayer?
Why should we not be as reasonable
and practical in our religion as we are
at the dinner table?-Charles E. JEFF

The Teacher,s IseligiOn.

1t was said of good Christian min
lister that wherever he went he made
people fall in love with the Lord Jesus
Christ. Evidently he had the right
sort of religion. 1t would be we'll If all
Sunday-school teachers had the same
kind. There are some people, Chris
tians too, godly and conscientious, who
live honestly and uprightly, and who
are active in good works, but who do
not make people fall in love with
Christ. 1t was said of very earnest
church worker the other day. Il sup
pose he is Christian, but somehow he
never makes me think Of Christ" Yet
are there not 100 many such church
members? The teacher ought to have
a religion that will make other people
think of Christ. 1t should be sunny
religion. Christ was the light Of the
world. 1t should be joyous religion,
for Christ was always joyous. 1t
should be a religion Of love, for Christ

"What Shall I Do 2"

That is the problem which frequently
confronts averyone-especlally parents
with small children. A slight Illness
treated at once often saves q long
period of sickness and expense-some-
times prevents death. The trouble Is
that so few people can think on the in
stant what treatment to apply, even if
they have the knowledge necessary to
recognize the disease and know what
simple remedies are best. 10 meet I ls

Lingerie Blouse.


The lingerie blouse appears TO gain
in favor week by week and month Dy
month. 1t is worn at all seasons OF
the year, is always daintily charming
and fills so many needs as to be hrst
fayorite. This one is made in quite
novel fashion and affords opportunity
for the embroidery, which makes such
an essential feature of the season, and
which always gives an air OF elegance
and distinction to any garment. In
the illustration the material is hand.
kerchief linen and the banding is Val
enciennes lace. but the model can be
utilized for all the materials that are
used for blouses of the sort, and also
makes most satisfactory one for the
entire costume, made from any pretty
fabric of the season, figured and
flowered as we'll as plain. The tucked
portions over the shoulder make dis.
tinct innovation, while below them the
waist is arranged to be becomingly
full at the same time that the plain
space for embroidery is left at the
front.
The waist is made with a narrow
yolk, to which the front and back por.
tions are attached. The tucked por'
tions are arranged over the whole and
the material beneath the tucks is cut
away to give the desired transparent
effect. The closing is made invisible
at the back. The sleeves are the ac.

MICROBES WAR ON ONE ANOTHER
Sewage System Of Saratoga Likely to BE
Adopted by Burlington W.

Sewage System Of Saratoga Likely to BE
Adopted by Burlington, W.
Professor o. II. Landreth, Of the
State Board Of Health, and F. o. Sim
clair, city engineer of Burlington, vt,
visited the sewage disposal plant at
Saratoga with a view to the adoption
of a similar disposal system for Bur-
lington. At the conclusion Of &he in
spection Mr.. Sinclair announced that
he would recommend a plant similar
to that at Saratoga for his city.
The process Of sewage disposal adopt
ed by Saratoga is simple and lnexpen-
sive. 1t can be described as a process
Of nature, or likened unto battle Of
the microbes" The sewage flows into
q large tank or basin, which is covered
to eXpel the light. AS soon as this tank
fills up, microbes, which can develop
and live only in the dark. begin to eat
the sewage to prepare themselves for
the struggle which they will meet in
the next tank. They fatten and con-
sumo all there is to be consumed, and
cry for more. They crawl through
holes left for the purpose and emerge
into the other tank. Waiting there is
the enemy, or opposing microbes, and
as wolves would pounce on flock of
calves, they meet and destroy this ad-
vancing enemy. The result is the lique-
faction of all the forces, a clear and
pure (ninety-eight and half per cent.
Of purity effluent, or stream of water,
which can be drunk vita more impu-
nifty than the average drinking water.
Burlington is the first Of the Vermont
towns to act on the recent order Of the
Vermont State Board of Health to pu-
rify water supplies. The State Board
gave the cities until June next to take
the proper steps, and threatened, if
they did not, to condemn the supply
and order the discontinuance Of its use.
Mayor Burke at once appointed COM
mittee to act in accordance with the Or
der of the State Board. Similar action
by all the towns will result in the puri-
fcation of the waters of Lake Cham
plain.-New York Post.

Lace Coatee Appears.

Odd jackets, short coates and fam
ciful boleros in baby crochet and all

the Chicago News. One such short
jacket was contrived linen and heavy
venise point. The body Of the boiero
