ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
Suggestions For the Use of Drapery
Net In Home Decoration.

Net In Home Decoration.
Plain Russian net is of great
value in house decoration and has
the virtue of being both washable
and durable. 1t is woven two yards
wide. Straight lengths of the net
finished simply with French or
double hem will make curtains that
are not out of place with fine fur
nishings.
This coarse net is wide enough
for bed cover or spread and can
be simply hemmed and attached to
colored lining, or it may be edged
with deep flounce to hang around
a brass bed. 1t may also be long
enough TO cover a bolster or pillows,
and coarse braid can be used as
liked in ornamentation. Covers for
dressing cases and chifIoniers made
of the net and basted to colored lin
ings to match the spread make a
neat decoration for the sleeping
room.
When this net is laundered, use
but a suspicion of boiled starch or
just enough to give it the appear
ance of new lace. Iron crosswise
carefully TO keep the mesh open or
pin to sheet. Ii pure white net is
used have the rinsing water blued
slightly. If the net is cream or deep
ecru use a little clear coffee or saf-
from tea to give the desired depth
of shade

For Cold In Chest.

Chop raw onions up rather fine,
add an equal quantity Of corn or rye
meal and small quantity of water,
and let it all steam few minutes.
Thin with vinegar and cook about
five minutes longer Apply it as a
poultice OF compress it as hot as it
can be borne. In the morning rub
the chest we'll with alcohol or cam
phor and then olive oil or, better
still, goose oil, and put a flannel
cloth over to protect the clothing.

Some Uses For Ammonia.

After the carpets have had their
beating nothing restores them so
much and hrightens the dull surface
as Il rub over with cloth wrung
out of ammonia and water, and for
cleaning white enameled furniture
there is no better treatment than
whiting mixed with water, to which
little of this magic fluid has been
added. Ammonia may be put to
splendid use in the laundry, and
there is no better plan when washing
hannels and all woolen garments
than TO add some ammonia to the
water.

WAYS of Serving Carrots.

Besides serving with peas, carrots
can be prepared in cream sauce.
After adding the sauce they can be
placed in dish, covered with
crumbs and baked. After boiling
they may be sliced and fried, or if
cut in small pieces a little butter
and sugar can be added and the pan
shaken over the fire until they are
glazed. For fritters mash enough
boiled carrots to measure one cup
full and a half. Add a high season
ing of salt and pepper, two beaten
eggs, enough -four to make a thick
batter and one teaspoonful Of bak-
ing powder. Drop by small spoon
fuls into deep hot fat or saute in
little fat in pan.

A LITTLE NONSENSE.
The Farmers Daughter Was No En-
couraaer of Laziness.

courager OF Laziness.
One of those family emergencies
had occurred. There were several
unexpected guests and an INSULT
cheney Of servants. So the head Of
the house persuaded a daughter of
farmer who lived near by to Off
ciate as waitress for one night only.
Its easy enough" he explained to
the unwilling girl. "When the bell
rings all you have to do is to come
in, do whatever little thing is want
ed and then go out"
AS the guests took their seats at
the table one OF them brushed a
fork to the floor. The host touched
the bell. In came the temporary
waitress "D'ye want mel" she
asked.
"Yes," said the host, motioning
with his hand. "The gentleman
dropped fork"
The girl stepped inside the room.
With uplifted hands and eyes open
ed wide in astonishment, she drawl-
ed out;
"Good Lord! Yew don't mean
ter say yew rung that ere bell jest
ter have Inc cum in N pick up thet
fork, do yer? Well, by CORY! f
'e's ser lazy he can't pick it up him

exit, banging the door.-Woman's

Marks on Polished Tables.

For removing marks from polish
ed trays or tables occasioned by
heated dishes make thin paste
from salad oil and salt. Spread il
over the marked place and leave for
an hour or more, and then rub off
with a soft cloth. The result will
be complete disappearance of the

"squAar DEALERS, 4"

We are agreeably surprised to
learn that conditions in Hooking
county politics have not changed
since last fall. The bosses and
square dealers are still facing each

N1
A B house leader. is increasing his
efforts to expose the mon
strosities of the Dingley tariff bill. He
has introduced measure after measure
high. OF course none of his measures
or mine or any other looking toward
tariff revision, wholesale or piecnmeal,
is ever reported favorably When we
call them up in committee Hon. Serene
h. Payne. chairman of ways and
means. puts on n smile that is chidlke
and bland. which is the signal for Mr..
Dazell or General Grosvenor or some
other stand patter to move to indeh-
nitely postpone. But, nothing daunted,
Williams returns to the assault at the
next opportunity. His latest effort to
improve things was Il proposition in
substance as follows: That whenever
the tariff duty is more than 100 per
cent OH any article it be reduced to 100
ii proposition which ninety-nlne peo-
pie out of every hundred will say is
plain common sense or course he
framed it that way in order to show
the iniquity of some Of the most outra-
geOuS rates. Did the stand patters look
kindly on this sane and safe PROPOSE
tion of the sane and safe MiSsissip-
plan? Not Il bit of it. On the contrary.
Hon. Serene Il. Payne. house floor
leader for the Republicans, assumed
an air of righteous indignation and in
jured innocence and roared out Il furi-
Gus denunciatiun of Williams and all
his wicked coadjutors amid stand pat
applause.
1t ought not to be forgotten in this
connection that when Williams first
made his proposition it was boldly as
serted that there was no tariff rate in
excess of 100 Per cent. but he went to
work and dug up the facts, which show
that there are scores of such rates
outrages all Then Brother Payne cut
his righteous Indignation caper, but
somebody else may become Indignant
to wit the American people. Truly
they have been slow TO wrath, but they
are certain to wake up at last and huII
the stand patterS from power and cast
them into that outer darkness where
are weeping, wailing, gnashing OF
teeth and much cussing They have
had long lease OF power and have
lorded it over the masses after the ruth
less manner of 81 fer&lal baron of the
dark ages, but it's Il long lane that has
no turn, ana the signs OF the times n-
dicate that the turn is in sight. There
is much unrest among the Republican
masses. They are beginning to con
clude that if the Republicans will not
revise the tariff when they have such |
whoppng big majorities in both houses |
Of congress that they can do precisely |
as they please they do not intend TO re- |
wise it at any time SO believing and !
desiring II revision, they are sure to con-
rlude that the only chance to secure !
revision is TO elect Democratic con-
sress and president. The signs of the
times indicate that that is precisely [
what they intend TO do at the first OPP
portunity.

Four Crazy Negroes Raise Riot.

Greenville, September 14.--Suffering
from emotional insanity, superinduced,
it ia believed, by religion, four of the
best negroes in Anderson county late
yesterday afternoon became violent,
pulled one white man from his horse
and forced him to flee for his life, wan
tonly destroyed mail box belonging to
a white man, stoned the white man and
his wife when they offered resistance and
finally barricaded themselves i'm their
cottages, where they sturdily resisted all
efforts made to arrest them until yester-
day morning. One of the four negroes
was shot while in the house and died
yesterday. The other three have been
lodged in the Jail in Anderson.
Reed Anderson, sixty-fve years old,
William anderson, Elsie Anderson and
Aaron Anderson, all of the same family,
were the four negroes. They together
own more than two hundred acres of fine
farming land and are generally regarded
as the most respectable negroes in the
county. All four of them became vio-
lently insane Tuesday evening and met
Talmage Merritt, who was pulled from
his horse and forced to flee for his life.
Letter the negroes went down the road
and came to the place of James Long
and tore down his mail box. When Mr..
and Mrs. Long ordered them away they
stoned the farmer, and his wife was cut

by the flying missiles. The negroes were
captured and tied, but they broke away
and went to their cottage, where they
barricaded the doors. A large crowd Of
white people gathered about the house
and waited outside, it being evident that
the orazed negroes were armed.
Dr.. W.. A. Tripp, hoping to administer
some sleeping potion, finally gained ad-
mittapce, but was shot in the face and
hurled through the door He is net seri-
ously hurt.
Finally Sheriff Scott, of Anderson
county, was admitted by the negroes and
the maniacs were handcuffed. Reed An
derson was shot in the melee and will
die. Mrs. Long was not seriously hurt
by the rocks.
The affair created excitement, but
there were no efforts made at lynching,
as the negroes were very favorably
known, and it was easily seen that their
reason had been dethroned.

Over 700 Applications at Clemson.

Clemson College, September 1.-THE
annual session of Clemson College for
19O6.7, the fourteenth year of the institu-
tion, opened Wednesday. Nearly 700
applications for admission have been ac-
cepted, which means that, making al
lowances for the ones who do not come
after applying, and for the return home
Of some who do not succeed in passing
the examinations, there will be an at
tendance when the work of the session
gets under way of about $50 students,
the full capacity of the institution.
OF the total number accepted 42S are
old students, which is a larger proper
tion than formerly. The present senior
and junior classes are the largest in the
history of the college, and the prospects
are that next June will see the largest
graduating GLASS ever turned out from
Clemson. The class of 1903 and the
class of 1906, each numbering 60 men,
have been the largest so far.
Besides those accepted, 240 applicants
have been refused admission for this
session on account of lack of dormitory
and other accommodations, 1SO from this
State and 60 from other States. Nothing
shows better than do these figures the
need of the new dormitory, which the
board of trustees have already author
lied, and which will be furnished in time
for the opening of the session beginning
In September, '9O7.
Entrance examinations for new stu
dents and makeup examinations for
old students who were conditioned last
year, began this o-nlng and will con-
tinue through tie week. All other stu
dents begin regular class work at once.
The full teaching force is on hand,
those who had been away for the sum-
mer or part of it having returned dur
ing the last ten days.
