on back to Barnwell, never giving an
other thought to the episode. That he
made no attempt to lay hands on her
and criminally assault her and that
when he was arrested he had no idea
what he was being arrested for. He
came back here that night and regis
tered at the hotel and spent the night
in the same room with Green, cousin to
Mrs. Roundtree, and that Green was
in the room with him when he was ar
rested. He stated that in his convcr-
sation with Mrs. Roundtrce she said
to him, a perfect stranger, that she
had a lot of family trouble and made
complaints against her husband, and
told him that she was going to quit
him in few weeks. He says that
when he drove off she told him good
bye and asked him to write to her.
The negro driver who was with Prath-
er stated that in coming back by the
house Mrs. Roundtree did not call to
them, but that Prather told him to
stop that he wanted some water and
that when he got out to get it. he told
him to go back and get that package
he had left by the road. That he
drove back, leaving them alone, and
went about 300 yards down the road
to where the whiskcy was concealed
in the cane pateh,got in and came
right back. When he returned he saw
Mr.. P.rather standing in the door,
and that he came out and got in the
buggy and drove off. AS they left,
Mrs. Roundtrcc went through field
to Mr.. Burckhalter's house. After
they left the place Prather told him
that he had come back too soon with
the buggy. There seems to be very
little feeling in the matter here. The
people are divided in their opinions,
as to the facts in the case, but to pre-
vent any possible danger to the pris-
oncr from mob violence Sheriff Creech
took the precaution to take him to Co
lumbia at 5 O'Clock this afternoon,
where he will be kept for safety until
he can arrange bond or stand trial.

As to Ladies and Gentlemen.

''It 5 fine thing to be lady or a
eentlcman, said the booIlkeeper.
"What's your idea of gentle
man?" inquired the stenographer.
GA man that s clean inside and out;
who neither looks up the rich nor
down on the poor; who can lose with
out squealing and who can win with
out Dragging; who is considerate Of
women, children and old people; who
is too brave to lie, too generous to
cheat and who takes his share of the
world and lets other people have
theirs"
"And what does it take to make
lady?' asked the stenographcr.
"a perfect lady is a woman who
can hear a choice piece Of scandal
about her dearest enemy and then for
get it," answered the bookkeeper.
"Huh - cried the stenographer
"That kind of woman wouldn't be Il
lady, she'd be in an asylum for the

Worth the Money.

James Barnes, the correspondent
and short story writer, was crossing
City Hall Park few days ago when
he was approached by torn and
tattered derclict, who prcfaced story

In company with his new found
friend Barnes made his way to a
Chambers street restaurant, where
he ordered substantial and satisfy
ing meal. When the waiter brought
check for one dollar and fifty cents,
and Barnes thrust his hand into his
trousers pocket to dig up only seven
cents. He had never been in that

Tea-Growing in s. G.
New York Commercial.

NE" Ork COmInCrclul.
The annals of successful tea-grow-
ing in this country have thus far been
the annals Of "Pinehurt,' the estate
of DR.. Charles U. Shepard at Sum-
merville, Sounth Carolina. At least,
such is the statement of r. II. True
of the national department of agricul
ture, which has co-operated with DR..
Shepard in American tea production
for the last seven years. But reports
of new American tea-gardens devot
ed to similar experimental work in
dicate that others than Pinehurst will
soon be included in the annals of oc
midental growing. The tea fields
and picking, the methods of she'd
growing and Of drying and the fac
tory and class of employers are made
the subject of an interesting illustra-
ted article in the September Review
of Reviews. TO Americans the idea
Of growing our own tea does not read
lily commend itself, so long have we
associated the industry with remote
and alien peoples. Yet we have seem
within few years, great commercial
fight for our tea trade between pro-
ducing countries as widely separated
as tropical Ceylon and that northern
China, where the tea lies under snow
for several months each year. TO de-
tcrmine the question Of the adaptable
ity of our soil and climate to tea
growing some soradic experiments
were made early in the last century.
and some more noteworthy ones IN
the eighties. But it remained for DR..
Shepard and the department to test
the factor Of labor in addition to eli
mate and soil. To sum up the results
to date briefly, a tea Of generous yield
and great dclcacy Of flavor has been
secured, the labor Of negro children
of ten to fourteen years Of age has
been utilized as an offset to the small
wages of oriental pickers, and the
objection to child labor have been
largely forestalled by providing them
with school instruction on the tea
plantation. The total result is a dis
tinct gain, and with it the promise Of
new American industry III the not
remote future.

A Dog.

Faithful among many faithful; un-
selfishness itself: and truest among
the true! Though others may fail,
friend may desert, fortune take wings,
and sorrow may come; the faithful
dog is ever the same. Popularity, UNI
popularity; fortune, poverty; great
ness, obscurity; health, sickness; com
fort, want; nor any of the varying
circumstances of life affects dog s
love for his master. The one absolute
ly trustful creature on earth; with
out suspicion and with a never vary
ing worship, he follows day after day
the footsteps of him he loves. His
masters lot is his, and never muir
mur escapes. If the crust is ever
so small, he takes it and with soul
full eyes blesses the hand that gave
it.
Unselfish In him no selfish thought
finds home. All night long will he
guard with watchful eye the slumbers
Of his master, even though the frost
is biting and the winds bitter cold.
He is there ever watchful and ready
to warn if danger approaches, and to
battle if harm comes near. And his
reward is simply this: to hear his
masters voice, to lick his hand and
be ever at his side.

A New One for Taft.

Secretary Taft has taken on a
new style of treatment which it is
ventured will materially assist in
the reduction of his flesh. He has
reduced him TO a modest 24O or
thereabouts since he set about TO
get Congress TO legislate for the
Philippines. But, gratifying as is
this showing, the guess is risked
that the Philippine tariff treat
ment for adipose will be a hope
less back number when the genial
War Secretary shall have given a
fair trial 70 the famous brigade
army post system. We think that by
the time Mr.. Taft has carried cut
his scheme Of getting Congress to
reduce the number of army posts to
seven or eight, with a brigade at
each one, he will have worked him
self down TO the point of absolute
invisibility. He is now a very fair
sample of sylph; but later he will
be transformed from a sylph to a
shadow.
This by no means in disparage-
ment of the War Secretary's scheme.
1t is a good one. There is no need of
fifty little army posts to do frontier
police duty, because the day of In
dian uprisings is past. The Deadwood
police force, who. of course, is Irish,
could arrest any Sioux rising that
could possibly be scared up in these
degenerate times. 1t has come about
that while the army's size has been
doubled the use for it has vanished.
II IL has excuse for existence, that
excuse relates to the theory
that il is a nucleus of thoroughly
trained soldiery around which TO
develop a volunteer army in event Of
ased. You can't train troops proper
The Washington times., 1906-07-20

ly by companies or battahons. A
hundred years of the manual Of
arms wouldn't enable them to
maneuver over a forty-acre lot with
out stepping on each others toes.
Larger bodies are necessary if there
is 10 be real training in the soldiers
profession. There ought to be
brigade posts. They would be cheap
er by far, and more efficient. But
none the less we guess Mr.. Secretary
Taft viii have more gray hairs and
less surplus flesh before he gets
them.
The army post is a treasured and
sacred institution, wherever it is. 1t
would be reckless TO guess how
many there are; but every one of
them expects TO be a brigade post
some of these days. and has an en-
thusiastic Congressional delegation
to support its claims. Not one of
them has ever dreamed OF being
abolished. 1t would be a very rape
Of Congress to wipe out all the little
posts. Congress gets the last guess,
and Congress will make the defeat
of Philippine tariff legislation look
like victory in comparison to the
things it will do to this schme of
brigade posts.
