Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great change n
Few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of MANY
women. The freshness, the charm. the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, a faint echo
OF the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change. ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesSes which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
OF its freshness and the form of it's
fairness.
As surely as the general health suffers
when there is arrangement of the health
OF the delicate womanly organs, so surely
when these organs are established in
health the face and form at once witness
to the fact in renewed comeliness. Nearly
a million women have found health and
happiness in the use of DR.. Pierce's Fa-
yorite Prescription. It makes weak wom-
en- strong and sick women well. Ingredi-

A Happy Occasion.
The Recent Annual Reunion
at Oakhurst of the Robert
son Family.
Reported for The News.

AT Oakhurst on Friday, Aug.
"a, 1906, there was a reunion of
the family of the late Samuel U.
Robertson and Mrs. M. Caroline
Robertson, his widow who still
survives, being about IS years of
age.
This was very happy occ aston;
such a sweet, easy, christian spirit
seemed to animate each member
of the assembly. Of the family
of 1872 living members there were
81 present. There were about 16
friends also present to enjoy the
occasion.
The morning was spent in hap.
py social conversation in which
all took part, and appeared to be
enjoying the occasion.
The dinner hour having arriv-
ed, long temporary table was
constructed in the shadow of a
beautiful shade tree in the front
yard, which was soon laden
with an abundance that would
tempt the appetite. Thanks hav-
ing been returned to the great
giver of all good, our keen appe-
tites were soon satisfied.
When all were filled, many
were the fragments that remain
ed, of which bountiful supply
reached the Methodist parsonage,
and was much appreciated.
Dinner being over all seemed
to enjoy themselves in social con.
verse until the time drew near
to part, when all gathered into
the house and the CIV Psalm was
read, and we meditated for a
short time upon the good provi.
dence of God that had followed
us in the past, and especially this
large happy family, after which
we all bowed in prayer and
thanksgiving to the God of our
lives and hopes.
May the sweet christian spirit
OF the mother and grandmother
be richly upon each of this lare e
family. Ultimately may the
whole family meet in heaven.
A Friend.

Mayor Roddey, of Rock Hill,
on Cotton Future Deal
ing.

Rock Hill special in News and
Courier: Hon. John L. Roddey.
mayor of Rock Hill, has during
his incumbency of about one
year done quite a lot by his firm
dealing to break up lawlessness
in his jurisdiction. He was at
one time a well-known stock
broker in New York, and the
letters from his firm were pub.
lished in the prominent papers
of this State. In view of this
fact his stand in regard to cotton
Exchanges" and "bucket shops"
is an interesting one. He has
been asked to speak on this sub
ject at different times, and did
so recently at the Tirzah cam
paign meeting. He writes let
ter in local paper this week =,
which expresses his antagonism
in no uncertain terms. 1t is only
that part which bears on his ad-
ministration as mayor which /
shall quote in part, as follows:
"The writer has visited many of
the big gambling houses in New
York; has played poker, faro,
roulette, horse races and cotton
futures, and unhesitatingly de-
clares that cotton futures, in his
opinion, is the lowest down
form OF gambling known, or
that he has even seen or indulg-
ed in," etc, etc. Further on he
says: "And now | want to say
to the people of Rock Hill that
if the city council will license
this form of gambling, which, in
my estimation, is the lowest form
in existence, then the city coun-
Gil must not impose the fine on
the five-cents crap.shooter and
the ten. cents poker player.
cannot conscientiously do it, and
/ will not. The council must try
such cases. If a man is allowed
to take ten or twenty thous
and dollar stake and bet it on

whether he wins or loses his
money, then i can't conscien.
tiously impose a fine on negro

for the poker player for a few
cards ticking against a tai q

secret service on account of his In
timacy with criminals
| had been working to locate Hughes,
but had been unsuccessful until Au-
gust, 1876, when Swegles informed me
of his whereabouts. Starting with the
information given by Swegles. l soon
found and arrested Hughes in the
Hub" saloon at 294 West Madison
street, previously mentioned as having
been kept by Jim Kinealy and Terry
Mullen. Hughes was arraigned and
deposited $4,000 to secure his appear
ance for trial the following January.
In the meantime Swegles, whose
identity and connection with the secret
service was a most carefully guarded
secret, was working to ingratiate him
self into the confidence Of the counter
feitng band that made its headquar-
ters at the Hub" while in Chicago.
He confided to Hughes that he had
served time in a western prison for
horse stealing, but that he was anxious
to forsake the crudities of horse steal
ing and other common lines of crime
for the reflnements of dealing in coun-
terfeit money Swegles, by clever dis
sembling, was successful in convincing
Hughes that he was promising mate
rial for an addition to the ranks Of
the "coney men"
/ was fully aware that Swegles was
working to win the confidence of the
counterfeiters that met at the Huh" ="
but it was about two months before

then contided to me that the band had
under way sensational plot-not
along counterfetng lines-but to steal
the body of Abraham Lincoln and hold
it for large ransom. Accustomed as
I was 10 the daring operations of these
men. the audacity of this plot startled
me. Swegles mentioned 100000 as
the amount the couspiralors had fixed
as the price of the return OF the body.

of Chicago, st. Louis and Lincoln
could, therefore, secure no "coney"
money worth the handling, and the
smaller dealers, from the Canadian
line to the gulf of Mexico, were send
ing in orders for bad money that could
not be filled. The only plate available
for use at the time was the one of q
$40 note of the Bank of Richmond,
Ind This was what was known as a
skeleton plate-that is, so made that
the part bearing the name of the bank
was mortsed in, allowing the insertion
of the name of another bank, the rest
of the note being the same. Counter
feits of the Lafayette and Muncie, Ind,
banks had been printed from this
worthless on account of the worn con-
dition of the plate. The Richmond
los" were so well known as to be
practically unpassable.
Peter Mccartney was at large, but
was not inclined to divide the fruits
of his labors with the Lincoln crowd.
Charles F. Ulrich, another cutter, had
been released from the Ohio peniten-
tiary, but his release was not general
ly known and he was not disposed i'm
mediately to resume operations. With
a knowledge of these facts 1t can read
lily be understood why the straits to
which the counterfeiters were reduced
was an absolute necessity, to be ac-
complished at any cost
For months the members of this
most cunning and desperate band had
been whipping their brains for feasible
plans to effect the release of their pal.
None that passed muster in the Grim
inal council had been suggested. The
secret service, knowing that every en-
ergy of the criminals would be
strained to free Boyd, but having no
knowledge of the plans suggested
worked diligently to enmesh the
known members at large on counter
feiting charges and in so doing made
a special effort to trap John Hughes
who for a dozen years had success
fully passed and dealt in counterfeit
money, besides taking side excursions
into other paths of crime. Sufficient
evidence against Hughes had been
gathered to secure an Indictment by
the federal grand jury in 1874, but for
a year and a half he had elTded the
shrewdest men in the secret service.
At that time | often secured in
formation from a man named Lewis

termed a roper" or stool pigeon.
Swegles was the son of the first audit

had been of considerable value to the

Washington, Dec. 28.-Whether the
bust Of President Roosevelt shall be
set up along with the busts of others
that have been vice presidents Of the
United States in the inches about the
gaHeries of the senate chamber or
shall be forced to stand out in the lone
illness Of the main corridor is an in
eresting question that soon will have
to be settled.
The theory is that eachs vice presi-
dent shall be honored by having his
bust in marble in the senate chamber,
solemn superintendence over the pro-
ceedings. When Mr.. Roosevelt's bust
is finished the only vice president that
will not be represented by one will be
Vice President Fairbanks. His will be
executed later. a
The embarrassing feature Of the mat
ter is that all the inches about the
galleries are now filled. There seems
to be no place for the bust of Mr..
Roosevelt, except out in the corridor
In view of the well-known antagon-
ism between the president and various
elements in the senate some might
calculate that it would be fine re-
venge to take on the president for his
habit Of shaking the big stick at the
upper branch Of congress to leave his
bust out in the corridor and exclude It
from the chamber. Just how the mat
ter will be settled it is too. early to
guess. The committee on rules will
dispose of it. Possibly the bust of some
