 The City Council at recent fneetInS when 1t heard the report of a special committee of the Board of Health on ths condition of the slaughter houses around the city, left the appointneenls y or selection of a meat inspector to tnis hody.

 The regular monthly meeting Of the c,tv council is scheduled to take niace Monday night and the meeting nromises to be a lively one. The prln. cipaI feature of the meeting no douo! win he the question of the granting oi license for the operation of two sa- icons in the eastern part or the clty As during the past several meetingi of inc council, it is again very nkelI that the local option law will be thor ourhiy discussed, both by attorney' on3 Iavnen who are In on either slo' of inc question. The law as It now stands is that no saloons can be op' srated outside of the fire limits and tt grant the license the fire limits or th' citv will have to be changed.
 Reouest for license to run two sa. looms in the fifth ward has been tnt nrincipal topic of conversation betweer tha residents of that part of the city for some days past. It Is stated tnal the male residents of the ward are eho,,t eyenly divided upon the question hut that the ladies are bitterly oppos- ed to such thing. A numoer or Ia Sias are said to have circulated peti: tions among the ladies of the ward whIch asks the council that these H. cense be not granted These petitions will very probably ha nraSented to the council when the mater comes up Monday night. It Is aiso very likely that the pastor of the " w.

 E Negro Escape Caught.
 4 Much excitement was created in the city last night by the rapid firing of many revolvers on Intendencia street :. near the business section. Bob Wash ington, a notorous negro who has once been shot by police officer, and who Ia now serving five year sentence, escaped from the convict camp late in the afternoon and came to the city with the avowed intention of killing negro woman, who had married the week before. The officers were look ing for him. and half a dozen deputy sheriffs and policemen were on the street where he was expected. when he appeared. He ran and several shots were fired at him Being surround ed in a block by officers the negre would go from one street to the oth- CT to be fired upon. Finally in jump ing fence his pants caught in a picket and he hung there helpless until the of ftcers arrived and placed the handcuffs on him. large reward had been of tered for his capture.

American Grown Tea.

Shipment of the first crop of tea ever

commercial organization Will begin at
Tea, s. c., near Rantowles, today
Seeds for the tea plants which have
been successfully planted by the Amer
lean Tea Growing company were Sc
cured from DR.. c. Z. Shepard Of sum
merville, who has been the pioneer Of
practical tea growing in the United
States Two years were required to
grow the seedlings in the tea farm
nurseries. Two years more were need
ed for the tea plants, transplanted, to
attain a size and strength which would
make them tea bearing. It was last
April that the first picking started.
This harvesting of the tea leaves ceas-
ed about the first OF October.
At present the company has 100 acres
Of tea under cultivation. OF this num-
Der sixty acres are planted with tea
bearing plants. Fully 200 pounds to
the acre are produced. 1t is the plan
to increase the acreage under cultiva-
ton by about thirty acres a year until
there are 500 acres Of tea growing,
which will mean that between 100, 600
and 100000 pounds of tea will be pro-
duced in South Carolina each year by

Man As a shopper.

A man Is worth watching when he
goes shopping. He may know how to
do many things and do them well, but
unless he is an exceptional man. shop
ping is not one OF those things. He
may be a capable business man and
able to drive a shrewd bargain. yet he
Is out of place in front OF a counter.
He Is usually excited and nervous and
acts as If he wanted to have it over
as soon as possible. Keep an eye on
the next man you see shopping 1t
will be an interesting way of spending
a few moments.
A woman Is usually an artistic shop
per; that is. she understands how to
get results. She obtains the most for
her money. OF course, some women
overdo the bargain driving business.
yet as a rule they do not. on the other
hand man never really shops, he just
buys. Suppose, for instance he desires
something at the haberdasher's he
knows about how much he is going to
pay and he also knows what he wants.
He tells the haberdasher and the latter
gives him the articles. Little or no
time is spent In selecting. The man
pays and the deed IS done. Now, that
isn't shopping, not by any means!
When 1t comes to actual shopping the
average woman has man beaten from
start to finish. She leads into the store,
she gets ahead at hustling the crowd,
she talks the clerk into her way of
thinking, she looks" at most every
thing and gets her moneys worth.
There is just one thing at which a
man beats her; he gets out ahead. He
is sometimes so glad to get away from
a rush that he fairly races down the
street A woman even takes her time
at getting through. She looks at every
thing on her way out and perhaps
makes another purchase before she
leaves the store.
No a man doesn't know thing about
shopping. He IS the rankest kind OF
an amateur. A clerk can sell him most
anything. IN truth, he is quite at the
mercy Of the one on the other side Of
the counter. He is absolutely helpless
Indeed, a man trying to shop deserves
pity, for he IS UP against a proposition
which is Greek to him. A man may be
a good buyer, he may have excellent
taste, but an artistic shopper, never

La Porte, Ind. Dec. 22.-The men,
bers OF the master BARRIERS union are
now going to try another attack, 1t

business a little more securely. on
Dec. L the price OF shaves was boosted
to Is cents, but two shops, those OF II.
L. Findley and George Kistler, did
not go in, and one Of the other shops
afterward dropped out. This leaves
eight shops in the combination. The
plan now is to organize a BARRIERS
union, taking in all the journeymen

national union. The workmen in the
shops of the men who are not mem
bers of the union viii be induced to
join and that Will force the owners
to maintain the price stipulated by
the union. If the workmen refuse to
join the shops will be designated as
scab shops. Just what the outcome
will be remains to be seen.

NEW YORK LETTER

New York. Dec. threading was
again the feature of the stock market,
opening at 1913 and selling down to
129- This represents a loss Of almost
twenty five points from the prices pre-
yailing two months ago.
The extreme weakness In this issue
had depressing influence on the en-
tire list. Union Pacific, Northern Pa
cihc, Southern Pacific, St. Paul, Sugar
and Copper showed perceptible weak
ness and declines of one TO three
points were established during the
first hour.
The Hill stocks were particularly
weak, establishing new low records in
both Northern Pacific and Great
Northern. The selling throughout the
list was on an enormous scale, Il
shows plainly that the bear operators
have control of the market for the
present at least.
After the opening furry the market
became more normal, rallies were
brought about in a few Of the issues
by shorts realizing some of the hand
some profits they have made during
the past ten days.
The rally did not extend very far,
however. and after the shorts cover
ed sufficiently, liquidation continued
steadily. The call money market rul-
ed easier, loans being made as low as
5 per cent.
The market as a whole closed ire
gular and feverish with losses discern
ible throughout the active list.

crop. The news was more or less bear
ish in tone, the cIearances being the
lightest OF any day in months; cash
demand practically nothing; northwest
ern traders sent liberal selling orders
to the market. In the last hour the
market rolled about three eighths Of a
cent, closing fairly steady.
CORN-FractionalIy lower early IN
the session in sympathy with the weak
ness in wheat Car shortage is retard-
ing the increase of receipts at all mar
kets. Commission houses were fair
sellers OF the May option on the slight
declines. The market closed steady at
about yesterdays prices.
OATS-W eaker than any Of the other
cereals. Profit taking by the longs was
the chief feature of the session. The
market lost about a half cent for the
day, closing with a weak undertone.

Advertising Thoughts.

One of the most desirable elements
in advertising is cumulative inser-
Unconstitutional Advertiser.
The advertiser who holds his copy
until the last minute cannot expect to
secure typographical satisfaction.
A newspaper which is unwilling to
inform advertisers concerning It's cir
culation is apt to have a rate card and
not stick to it.
Try this plan: Dictate an adver-
tisement to your stenographer and tell
her to write each sentence on a separ-
ate slip of paper. This will render it
easy to arrange the sentences in the
best order-which is seldom the order
in which they occur to one-and. bet
ter yet, it will enable you to quietly
drop into the waste basket any SEN
tence which, taken by itself, does not
say something worth saying.

WITH THE EDITORS.
The s.Nop' From All Around.

Naturally the army and the navy do
not like Mr.. Roosevelt's attempt to get
Congress TO pass a law allowing the
President to dismiss navy or army of
GERS whom he deems unworthy to re-
main in the service. This opposition is
not reflection on Mr.. Roosevelt's in
telligence or fairness. He might, and
probably would. use this authority
wisely. But the service Of a President
is necessarily short while that of an
officer in the army and navy may last
thirty or forty years. Mr.. Roosevelt
will step down from the White House
in 1909, but there are officers now in
the service whose names will be on the
rolls until 1929 or 1899 They believe
1t would be unjust to clothe the Pres
ident with power to cut their service
short at his own initiative and end
their career. They believe, too, that
the method already provided for get
ting rid of unfit olncers is working sat
isfactorily. and that it should not be
extended in the direction which Mr..
Roosevelt asks.--St. Louis Globe-Dem-

Feminine Reasoning.

logic of a young woman of Fort Dodge.

of her husbands was in her lap. The
