According to schedule of dates CIV
en- out to the press. Senator Tillman
will speak at Filbert on Tuesday,
July "a.
The Fort Mill Times is responsible
for the statement that Capt. j. w. Ar
drey will not stand for reelection to
the general assembly.
All of the York county members are
included in the list of those who must
be left at home, according to the orders
of Senator Tillman, because Of their
support of the Mauldn bill.
People in town yesterday from differ
ent sections of the county say that the
rain of Sunday afternoon was quite
general. The common report as to
crops is that they are looking fine.
The grand jury has been making
quite extensive Investigations into the
affairs of the county, but has nothing
that seems to be deserving of especial
attention. 1t may, however see proper
to make some recommendations at the
next term of the court.
Chairman Brice has called the York
county Democratic executive commit
tee to meet in the court house next
Saturday to arrange the matters of fix
ing campaign assessments and the
county campaign and 10 attend to
such other business as may be brought
to the committees attention.
Mr.. w. L. PIaxico of Clay Hill, left
at this office yesterday some specimens
of Kelsey Japanese plums, Of which he
has an abundance. These plums are
about as large as guinea eggs, reJof
a grceniSh brown color on the outside
and blood red on the inside. They are
of delightful flavor and said to be very
fine not only for eating but for can
ming. Mr.. PlaXico also has choice va
rieties of Burbank plums and Of peach
apricots.
Hon. r. w. Memmineer, Of Charles
ton is presiding over the circuit court

addressing the grand jury In CheSter
last week, he read a carefully prepared
paper on the judicial history of the
state from the proprietary days down
to the present time and made some in
teresting remarks on the jury law, Its
advantages and it's defects. Members
of the York county bar would have
also been pleased to have heard this
paper; but at the request Of the Ches-
ter bar his honor has consented to print
what he had to say so that it may be
had in permanent form. Judge Mem
minger is making a pleasant impress
sion upon the people up this way, and
the concensus Of opinion seems to be
that he is the right man for this very
difficult position.

be made Immediately looking towards
the ultimate freeing of Sawyer and
Adams, whose date for hanging has
been set for August II. When Scott
was hanged here today his counsel
was in Washington trying to get
stay of execution in order to have
him examined as to his sanity. On
trial Sawyer and Adams testified that
Scott alone enacted the tragedy and
told how he had shot the officers one
at a time while they begged for mer-
cy and then threw their blood-drench-
ed bodies into the sea. Their tale
seemed almost impossible and they
were convicted and while Scott claim
ed his innocence and the guilt of the
other two negroes, he was also con-
victed, as it was plain that he had a
hand in the mutiny and murders.

SENATOR Tillman says that the peo-
pie have a right to destroy the dispen-
sary: but representatives have no right
to assume such responsibility without
especial authority from the people
That sounds very nice; but as matter
of fact, was not the dispensary estab-
lished by the peoples representatives
after the people had declared at the
ballot box for prohibition? If the peo-
pie have ever endorsed the dispensary
except in two or three counties where
they refused to vote it out under the
Brice law. we have no record of the
circumstance.

Tillman at Sandy Flat.

We have been looking forward with
more than ordinary interest to the deliv-
cry of Senator Tillman's widely herald
ed speech at Sandy Flat in Greenville
county. hoping that the senator would
have something to say that would give
promise of willingness on his part
to assist in giving the poor state some
relief from its corrupt and corrupting
with the whisky traffic; but to
our mind a careful reading of his re-
marks which appear elsewhere, offer no
There is no doubt about the fact
that Senator Tillman'S remarks have
the ring of broad-minded sincerity
throughout. and his arguments would
probably be convincing were it not for
the fact that he was evidently just as
sincere when he first launched his dis

quite creditable to the new publishers.
We hope Messrs. Perkins and Irwin
will be able to keep up the pace they
have set; but to do it they will need
help from the business folks of Ches-
ter. Two papers like the Lantern has
been and is and the Reporter is now
are a plenty for the town and county.

The situation with regard to labor
in this section Is something serious. 1t
is next to impossible to get anything
done promptly. The manager of the
local telephone system informs me that
Monday last his hands quit in body.
One of them who has been with the
company for five years and who was
receiving wages of $50 per month, stat
ed when asked why he was quitting,
that he was satisfied with his pay but
was Just going to quit" The tele-
phone company is expecting to secure
white men for their lines.
At the adjourned meeting of citizens
looking to the organization OF Cham-

Now Surely Not!

The Rock Hill Record believes"
says that paper in its issue of yester-
day, that the conference called for
July 16 at Yorkville of the REFORM
ers, the friends of Senator Tillman
and the dispensary system to be
nothing more nor less than a confer
ence of dispensary advocates-this
and nothing less. True, the men who
signed this call are supporters of Till
man, but there are scores OF men In
this county who are supporters OF
Tillman and at the same time dead
set against the dispensary Every
thing goes in politics; but The Record
believes the men who call for this
conference would have acted with
more wisdom had they not tried to
cloak this conference in the guise OF
one for 'reformers and the friends of
Senator Tillman.' Stand on your own
bottom, gentlemen. Make an above
board fight for the principles you
represent. The people are not easily
fooled. The dispensary people claim
strength in this county. Then why
not let that strength sustain you?'

Potency of Gems

TN olden times astroloyers had much faith
in the belief that the destiny OF persons
born in certain months was governed by the
gem of which the month was symbolic. The
following is an old astrologer's table of months
and the precious stones that correspond to
them:
January-The jacinth hyacinth, symbol
izing constancv and fidelity.
February-The amethyst, symbollz1ng peace
Of mind and sobriety.
March-The bloodstone or jasper, symbol
izing courage and success in dangerous under
takings
April-The sapphire and diamond, signifying
repentance and innocence.
May-The emerald, signifying success in
love.
June-The agate, symbolizing good health
and long life.
Tulv-The carnelian, signifying cure OF evil
resulting from forgettulness.
August-The sardonyx or onyx, signfying
conjugal felicity
September-The chrysolite, symbolizing
preservation from folly or its cure.
October-The beryl or opal, signifying hope.
November topaz, signifying fidelity
and friendship.
December.The turquoise or ruby, SYM
bolizing brilliant success.

Concerning Jewels

THERE Is hardly Il precious stone that has
l. not some superstition connected with 1t.
The NeapolitanS still wear amulets OF coral to
avert the evil eye, and perhaps some will re-
member wearing a string OF amber beads about
their necks during their childhood to ward OFF
sore Threats.
\ piece OF agate worn on the person Is sup
posed TO be an infallible guard against light
ming. and some people have asserted that 1t
was also cure for thlrst-what kind they did
not mention.
The beryl was by the ancients supposed To
be a sure cure for leprosy and to promote hap
piness between man and wife. Turquoise IS
said TO be a protection against falls and sudden
injuries The topaz was highly priced by the
ancients, who believed that it had magical
powers OF dispelling entertainments and calming
frenzy.
The sapphire was believed by the ancients
to be embematic of chastity. The pagans
dedicated il TO Apollo
The green emerald is held in high esteem by
the Peruvians. and the worshipers of Mantu
still believe that the mines whence are eX-
tracted all emeralds are guarded by terrible
genii and dragons.
Perhaps more superstition attaches itself TO
the opal nowadays than to any other stone.
On the contrary the ancients considered that
this fiery gem had the power OF rendering its
owner lovable, and also of bestowing on him
the gift Of invisibility.

About Insects

TT is regarded as a death warning i'll Germany
to hear a cricket cry in the night.
The Koran says all flies shall perish with the
exception OF one, the bee fly.
The Tapuya Indians Of South America assert
that the Devil assumes the shape OF a fly, and
the Spaniards in the sixteenth century thought
that spiders indicated the existence of gold
wherever they were IN abundance. Although
a sacred insect among the Egyptians, the
beetle receives little notice in folk lore. 1t is
unlucky in England to kill one.
The grasshoppers are SAID to forewarn people
in Germany of the visits of strange guests, and
the ancients believed that there was a close
connection between bees and the soul. An
old Welsh tradition Is that bees came from
Paradise, leaving the Garden when man fell,
but with Gods blessing; so that the wax is
necessary in the celebration OF the mass. All
beetles are detested in Ireland, and uneducated
people sometimes say even now that the sight
of a beetle IS sure to bring a rain storm next
day.

Symbolism of the Finger Nails

FINGER nails have from the earliest
times been supposed to bespeak charac-
ter. The old SaXons set great stock in this
belief, and the children of every family were
instructed in the signs of the nails
A white mark on the nail is supposed to fore
tell misfortune. Pale or lead colored nails in
dictate melancholy people People with long
narrow nails are quarresome and ambitious
Broad nails indicate a gentle bashful, and
generous nature. Lovers of knowledge and
sentiment usually have round nails. Small
nails indicate conceit obstinacv, and littleness
of mind. The finger nails of great soldiers
have generally been spotted red. Nails
growing into the flesh at the points or sides
indicate sensuality and love OF luxury.
