Burial Suit Returned.

A most unusual occurrence is re-
ported as having happened recently in
Newberry. Several months ago a man
who resides in the county purchased
a burial outfit, consisting Of black
suit and white gloves from a local
clothier, the purchaser stating that a
young friend had died, and he de-
sired the clothes for him.
Nothing. more was thought of the
transaction until a few days ago,
when a young man entered the store,
and depositing large package on the
counter announced to the clerk, II am
just now returning the suit which had
been purchased for my burial" The
young man then explained that he did
pot die; that he was thought to be
dead at one time, and his friend had
hurried off to secure his burial clothes.
The explanation was satisfactory,
and the clerk unwrapped the parcel
and laid it away on the shelf.

CHARGES Negroes With Conspiracy.

CHARGES Negroes With Conspiracy.
S. T.. Kiser, a prosperous farmer OF
Dorchester county, has brought suit
against a number of negroes in that
county, charging conspiracy to pre-
vent him from employing hands.
The trouble grew. out Of the lynch
ing Of Willie Spain several weeks
ago, which is the same case in Which
Sheriff Limehcuse was removed from
cfice by the governor of an indictment
by the grand jury for failure to pro-
tect the prisoner from the mob. Klser
had the lynched negro buried and has
incurred the enmity of the negroes,
who swore that anyone who had
SPANS body buried would suffer the
same fate that had overtaken Spain.
The warrant sworn out by Mr..
Kiser before Magistrate ]. W. Cum
nings, charges ten or twelve of the
most prominent negroes of the COM
munity with banding. themselves to-
gether with the intent and purpose OF
opposing Mr.. Kiser and preventing
and hindering him in the exercise
and enjoyment of his rights and priv
ileges as granted him by the consti-
tuition and laws of this state.
The negroes in the vicinity OF St
George have been greatly intlamed
and wrought up since Spain was lynch
ed, forming numerous societies, the
object of which was to hamper es-
pecially those who were suspected OF
having anything to do with the lynch
inch. ...

arm, where they are loosely tied with
succession of ribbon bows. In lin
gerie garments the square neck Is
preferred to the round this year, and
this is always finished with a band of
lace or embroidery.
The empire form is, of course, very
fashionable for chemises, but, while
1t is a pretty cut, it needs to be made
of very fine material else its straight
form will lie in folds beneath the cor
set. Most chemises nowadays are
shaped in under the arms SO as to do
away with this extra width at the
waist-line. A pretty finishing to take
the place of sleeves and shoulder parts
m q garment to be worn with decol-
lette dress, consists of ribbons which
tie on the shoulders and may be un.
tied and slipped beneath the bodice
when worn with the evening gown.
The Japanese nightgown of quite
loose cut is a decided novelty. This
has rows of little tucks descending
from the shoulder and extending half
way down the figure. A double band
of insertion starts at the foot of the
gown, passes by the side of the tucks
over the right shoulder and around
the neck at the back, meeting in the
centre of the front at the wcistline.
The sleeves are loose and flowing as
BELTS garment of this nature. Few
nightdresses have collars, most Of
them being finished with. straight
bands of embroidery or lace.
CHARMING DRESSING SACKS.
Some very jauaty little dressing
sacks of silky batiste or naiasook are
being constructed. These are entire

tion of the sleeve. Lace and insertion

Empire cut, band of the same marks
the high waistline in back and in
front rises over the bust to be fastened
with ribbons. Some of these lingerie
tea jackets have broad and elaborate
collars which reach over the should
ers.
Another new conner is the blouse
waistcoat OF embroidered linen, batiste
or mousseline de sole. This Is made
without sleeves and drawn in about
the waist with tape to adjust the full
ness in front. These are designed to
be worn with lingerie suits of which
a long or short jacket forms a part.
Lingerie petticoats are of increasing
daintiness. They are for the most part
elaborately trimmed, the top portion
being of sheath-like cut and fitting
without a bit of fulness. They are
completed with broad founces Of
tucks embroidery and lace. Some Of
these flounces show several frillings
of lace or embroidery, while others
are elahoI ate with hand-embroidered
designs.

SUGAR BEETS AND MOLASSES.


SUGAR BEETS AND MOLASSES.
An acre of sugar beets will produce
224 gallons of alcohol. Our vast irri-
CATION projects in the West are water
ing lands which will soon produce
sugar beets more profitably. perhaps,
than any other crops and the molasses
from these crops can readily be turned
into alcohol. A waste product of the
ca e sugar mill, known as "base mo-
lasses," would be another available
source of our commercial alcohol sup
ply. Millions of gallons of this pro-
duced in all the Central and South
American countries and the West In
dies are now largely burned, fed 10
animals or destroyed, although por-
tion is dumped on our shores at almost
any price above freight. At New Or

under the new bill, it will serve as
well as any other alcohol thus manu-
factured for power, heat and light.
Already in Cuba such alcohol from
this base molasses is being made at
10 cents per gallon. The base mo-
lasses itself can be had at New York
at cents gallon. A similar grade
of base molasses is turned out as a
by-product by our beet sugar factories.
Ten factories of Michigan send their
produce to distillery in that state
and produce from it about half mil
lion gallons of absolute alcohol. But
this by-product of our beet sugar fac
tories generally goes to waste in other
states. Yet we sit by and bemoan the
decreasing supply and increasing price
! of coal. the diminishing supply of
wood, wonder where we shall turn
next for power, heat and light
whether we shall harness the moon

eastern petroleum is falling off and
practically no gasoline is being found
