By tie Light of the Moon.

Three young men OF Abbeville serreptious-
ly left the city q night or two ago by the
light OF the moon for parts unknown.
AS the hands OF Johpson's clock pointed
to ten, Messrs. Gottiob Neuffer, Chevis Sond-
ly and James Hemphill wended their way
toward the vague and visionary south. After
five hours plodding the lonely lanes they
espied the cozy outlines Of coon cabin on
the weary wayside, and as sleep lay heavily
on the eyes OF all living things except the
hoot owls and sand blind bats, move was
made to "turn in, Morpheus promptly
snatched each Of these young gents away
from the lonely cot TO the far off land OF Nod.
As the shadows began to climb the hill OF
old Long Cane they awoke and with re-
past OF fresh air and water from purling
spring, hied them on toward the southern
cross, even as the faithful son of Mohammet
faceslto the black Kabal stone and the NIGH
ty city OF Mecca and withholds not his
strength until his lips have touched the
sacred rock.
On and on, across the watershed Of rivers
over winding streams and lifting brooks
with faces set to the south and hearts afire
with an srdor old, this trio OF determineds
kept their course. AS the hours Of the day
grew small and the shadows heightened. an
unusual brightness lit their eyes, even as the
Hashish brings light to the eyes OF the In-
dian devotee, and as the brook spsrkes in the
light OF the newly risen MOON
No miners steps were lighter when the
yellow CLINT of gold strike the eye; nc
flight OF bird OF passage more bouyant when
the land Of the long leaf pine reoedes and the
purple peaks of its long lost home begin to
lengthen and grow on the dim and distant
horizon, than were the steps of these young
men as their journey drew near its close.
The ardor OF the mounted moslem on the

As the air passes through refrigera-
tor once it absorbs food odors that
make it unfit to circulate again.
Yet in the ordinary refrigerator it
does re-circulate; passing over the
food again and again, contaminating
milk, butter, etc., and making food
compartments smell musty.

air is not permitted to flow through
the box twice. The fresh air enters
the ice chamber, and freezing cold
drops to the bottom of the box; passes
over the butter and milk while per-

other dishes-a system insuring the
circulation of constantly renewed
current of pure, fresh, iced air through

Cotton Badly Damaged.

From all parts Of the country come
reports that the cotton crop has deteri-
grated much during the recent rains.
In some districts there is complaint of
bug that is injuring the cotton to a
considerable extent. The bug ia about
the size of a pea weevil, but cannot fly
and hops like a flea. The bug looks
much like the boil weevil, but has not
the elephantine snout of the boil wee
vii.
The appearance of the insect is
creating CONSERVATION in parts of the
county.

To the Trustees OF
Abbeyille Episcopal Church.

Gentlemen -
It's sound sense that we tell you.
1t will cost less dollars to paint your
church with l.. & M. Paint, because
more painting is done with one gallon
of L. & M. than with two gallons OF
other paints, and the L. d M. Zinc
hardens the L. & M. White Lead and
makes the l.. & M. Paint wear like
iron.
Any church will be given a liberal
quantity free whenever they paint.
4 gallons L. & M. mixed with 8 gal
Ions Linseed OIL will paint moderate
sized house.
Actual cost L. g. M. about $1.20 per
gallon.
j. E. Webb, Painter, Hickory, n.
c., writes, "Houses painted with L. &
NJ. Is years ago have not needed
painting since"

Death OF a Child,

Charles Russell Tribble. the only
child of Mr.. and Mrs. G. w. Tribble,
of Donalds, S. c., died on Sunday
night. The little fellow had been un-
we'll for some time, but it was not
thought that anything serious would
result from it. On Sunday he rapidly
grew worse and although everything
was done that loving hands could do
for him, he died that night. The re-
mains were inferred in the Baptist
Cemetery of that place. The funeral
exercises were conducted by Rev. j..
E. Beard, of the Methodist Church.
Although only six weeks old, little
Charles Russell had won a large place
in the hearts of many and his death is
great shock to them. The family
desire to thank all for their kindness
during his illness.

PHONE TROUBLE IS ENDED
Differences All Adjusted and Both
Sides Claim a Complete
Victory,

After enother conference with the Of
ficials of the Utah Independent Telephone
company yesterday forenoon the linemen
who have been out ON strike for about
two weeks returned to work and added
the final chapter TO the story of the trOu-
bic which FOR a time threatened to AFFECT
the entire system. The whole trouble
started over the question of a ground
foreman doing -lineman'S work when the
city foreman could act as ground fore
man. The amount paid the foreman
when doing line work was the same as
when he acted in the capacity of fore
man. which was in excess OF what the
regular linemen were receiving. The tel
ephone company evidently made the ar
rangerhent for the purpose of reducing
expenses, but the men would not stand
airy than another. At the time the mat
ter was first brought to the attention of
the company by the local electricians
union. they refused to consider the mat
ter i'm any form but later an appoint
ment was made with the officials at Salt
Lake. subsequent meeting was held
in Ogden last Thursday. at which the
trouble was practically adjusted. The
finishing touches, however, were applied
yesterday. The basis of the settlement
Is regarded by both sides as a victory
and all are satisfied. The company agreed
10 dispense with the city foreman which
VIII leave the ground man undisturbed
IN his regular capacity. In this way the
company has succeeded in reducing it's
expenses and the men have gained their
contention that the ground foreman
should only do ground work

Two Notes on Which Nipple
Got Money Found With
Fictitious Names.

Philadelphia, Sept additional evil
dence as to the methods employed by
Frank X. Nipple, the suicide president of
the wrecked Real Estate Trust company.
were revealed today by the state and
county investigators. The district attor-
ney found two notes. one for So. 900 and
the other for $4,000. The first note was
made TO y. w. Schwartz" and the col
lateral named was 10000 shares Of Inter
national Match company and 4S 600 shares
of the Washington. Alexandria and Mount
Vernon Electric Railway company. The
other note bore the name of y. Wabeet"
and the collateral entered against il was
10000 shares of the New Alexandria Land
* River Improvement company.
No Such Persons.
1T is my opinion there are no such
persons as j. ". Schwartz and j Wa
beet. said Mr.. Bell. AT least, | have
or any evidence that they exist The col
lateral which they are purported to have
furnished is worthless
Il believe that Nipple took the money
for his own use and entered the bogus
collateral with the mythical names to
deceive the trust company officials. This
theory is supported by the fact which
learned today, that Nipple always paid
the interest on these loans himself There
is no record of any interest having been
received from Schwartz or Wabeet"

not mean, however, that such evidence is
not in existence. But one thing is GER
