behold with grief and dismay the desc
Grafton OF the Holy Sabbath in our
town, especially in the form of base

The glazing advertisements ON The

this form of dissertation on the young

the moral and spiritual element of the

ROAD IMPROVEMENT.

The recent decision of the Sn-
preme Court multiplying the consti.
tutlOnal amendment adopted in
1900 in this State, authorizing
county courts to levy an additional
tax of H. cents for road and bridge
purposes, will greatly cripple road
Improvement in the counties. The
decision of the Supreme Court does
away with the additional tax, and
now the County Courts can levy n
tax Of only ! cents on the 800
valuation, which reduces the reve.
nue. for road aud bridge purposes
two.thirds. In this county ) cents
of the - cents levy was set apart
by the County Court for general
county road fund and 10 cents ap.
piled proportionately to the dis
tricts, giving the latter the past
year total Of 81 ,GJ0.jG. 1t can
be seen at glance how road i'm
provement III our county will be re.
tarded and crippled under such con-
ditiQus,
The recent Road Improvement
Convention held at Columbia pc.
titioned the Governor to call an eX.
ira session Of the Legislature TO
remedy this condition; to prepare
constitutional amendment to be
submitted to the voters at the
general election in November that
will overcome the defects of the one
declared invalid. Several plans
have been suggested, one of which
is a local option measure by which
the people of the several counties
may vote to tax themselves, as
school districts now do for school
purposes. The Road improvement
Convention adopted a resolution
favoring law authorizing county
courts to levy tax notexceeding
so cents on the 800 for road and
bridge purposes.
Governor Folk has under ad-
visement the question of calling an
extra session of the Legislature to
formulate a practical road law or
amendment to the constitution that
will cover the case; and unless
something is done, and done quick
ly, road improvement throughout
the State will be greatly retarded
for several years. 1t is a condition
that must be met, and the sooner it
is met and remedied the better.

Last summer there died at Wash
ington a lawyer, who for many years
had shocked a large number Of friends
by his rather liberal views touching
religion.
\ friend of the deceased who cut
short Canadian trip to hurry back
to Washington for the purpose Of at
tending the last rites for his colleague
entered the late lawyers home some
minutes after the beginning of the
service.
"What part Of the service is this9''
he inquired in a whisper Of another
legal friend standing in the crowded
hallway.
"I've just come myself,'' said the
other, "but, I believe they've opened

The Cost of a a'Debutante.

There is a young debutante in Phil
adelphia. Miss Clara Waterman
Knight. of whom it is said by the
North American that two balls given
in her honor cost. respectively, $780,
900 and $4,000, total Of $4,000.
The first was dinner dance or
''pink cotillion,'; given for Miss
knight by her father, Edward Col
linys Knight, and the second ball at
the new and fine Bellevue-Stratford
hotel. arranged by her rich bachelor
uncle, Edward Waterman knight. The
ball room was decorated as a garden,
and in this garden bloomed 10000 cut
flowers. $500 Of them American Beau
tv roses. American Beauty roses are
81 apiece just now, but Mr.. Knight s
order was so large it emptled all the
hot houses within easy train distance
of Philadelphia, so some Of the roses
cost $3.50 each. A great bank OF
yreenery ran from the ball room floor
ND to the galleries, cutting the ball
room down to half its usual size. Here
and there in the green were broad
spreads of white blossoms Most Of
these big masses Of blossoms were
mountain laurel in bloom. Some OF
the trees were found in the greenerles
of Philadelphia and neighboring cities
and others we're brought from the
south. Other white blossoms were
those of the white lilac, another bush
not easy to find in bloom at this sea-
son. without going far to the south
ward. Hundreds and hundreds Of
palms and ferns and palmettoes help
ed to make up the bank of green. Rare
cvbodium ferns stood at the corners
and in the middle boxes, the finest
specimens to be had in the country,
Boston ferns were brought all the way
from the Pacific Northwest. In the
Clover room and Red room, where the
ball supper was served, there we're i'm
mense masses Of pink roses and great
bouquets Of American Beauties.
It is figured that the decorations
cost $4,000, the hotel rent for the
night was $1,000, the cost of the ball
supper and wine for 1000 persons is
put at $4,000, with $1,000 for addi-
tional expenses Of various sorts. This

FEWER WIDOWS WED AGAIN.
They Have Met Greater Competition
Young Girls and Bachelor
Women More Attractive and
Widows Enjoy Freedom
More than Formerly.

There is an old ballad the refrain
of which says: "A maid is sometimes
charming, but widow all the while. -
Latterday rhymes OH the subject of
widows charms are scarce, it is said.
The fascinations of widows are not, 1t
seems, popular theme just now with
writer's in this part of the country.
Neither in fact nor in fiction does the
widow play the leading part in most
matrimonial romances.
It was New York widow Of ma
ture age and large fortune who point
ed out this circumstance when at her
luncheon tables some one referred to
the scarcity Of widows among the
winters brides and suggested that
nowadays widows didn't seem to be in
such hurry to marry as formerly.
II could name a dozen widows, >
she said "women of middle age and
younger, good looking and with nice
little incomes, whom have been eX-
pecting to step off for the last five
years and they don't step. Not one
of them, so far as l know, is engaged.
"At one time there were every sea-
son several weddings of widows who
were conspicuous in society. 1t was
almost the exception for compara-
lively young and good looking widow
to stay single more than two years.
II do not know anything about the
widows to whom you refer,' said the
hostess, "but I do know that, TAX
ing widows as a class, they are much
less popular than they used to be.
Widows don't get the chances to mar
nv they once did. How do account
for it? In this way:
"Widows are just as attractive as
they ever were, but spinsters, as they
used to be called, bachelor women as
they are now described, are a good
deal more attractive than in the old
days.
II was introduced to society at II,
and soon after I remember I met

Young widow Of p. who used to go to
the parties and entertainments given
by her girl friends with whom she had
grown up. She was not nearly SO
pretty as some of the girls. but she
ALWAYS got a lot more attention from
the Young men.
I'm those days Il young girl might
stand a slight chance Of holding her
own with a widow Of hel. own age; but
spinster Of 33 or more had not the
ghost Of q chance when competing
with widow Of 33.
"Youne girls were kept back from
minglins with general company and
older folks till out Of school and al
most segregated from the other sex.
with the result that when first intro
duced to the world they were shy,
lacking conversational topics and no
match at all for a widow of any age.
It is not like that now. The bache-
lor woman instead Of assuming an
apoloeetic air. born Of feeling that
she is almost in disgrace because she
has reached 80 without being married:
goes about with a superior, lofty, l.
prefer-my freedom expression, exact
ly the reverse Of apologetlc, and IN
stead Of retiring modestlv behind
Younger women and widows she is
more apt to be found in the front row
when it comes to a question Of being
entertaining and jolly.
THE widow is less charming than
she ever was. but the unmarried
woman-the one time old maids
much more attractive than formerly
and generally hetter read and better
educated than most widows.
''Simply because she IS widow
no longer entities a woman to first
place as charmer Of the other sex.
She must now compete with young
girls who are neither awkward nor
shy. nor tongue-tied in the presence
of men: and also with single women
Of her own age, quite her equal in dip
lomacy and powers Of fascination. -
"Perhaps you are right,' returned
the woman who had first spoken. II
am inclined to think, however, the
reason why fewer widows than for:
merly marry is because they are more
charv of matrimony than were widows
in the old days and prefer to enjoy
their freedom. They believe that the
most enviable state for a woman is
widowhood in conjunction with good
sized bank ACCOUNT
When the manager Of big busl-
ness concern which employs hundreds
of women, among whom are many
widows. was asked what proportion
of the widows married again he gave
the answer:
almost none. 50 far as | know.
In ten years I can only recall one case
of a widow giving up her place here
because she meant to get married" "
