J. =. Parks Killed.

In a difficulty between Mr.. j. T.
Parks and Mr.. Robert FL. Covar, at
Orangeburg, S. c., on Friday, June
20, growing out of a business transac-
ton concerning the purchase of the
Patriot printing Office, Mr.. Parks was
shot by Mr.. Covar, and afterwards
died from his wounds, while Mr.. Covar
received painful but not serious wounds
from Mr.. Parks pistol. Mr.. Covar
saws that Parks struck him first and
drew his pistol and shot when he
returned the fire, both emptying their
pistols at each other. The body of
MIR. Parks was carried to Edgefield
county, his old home, for burial. Covar
is in the custody of the sheriff not
having recovered from his wounds.
The difficulty is deplored by everyone,
and Mr.. Covar says no one regrets as
much as he does the unfortunate diff
fculty.

Senator Tillman's Opposition.

The opposition to Senator Tillman
by Col. w. w. Lumpkin is to be
treated more as a joke than anything
else. Col. Lumpkin is a great joker,
and we must confess that this is really
the biggest joke the Colonel has ever
sprung. Col. Lumkin is very well
known in Georgetown, and has many
friends here, but the votes that he
will receive in this county for United
States senator in opposition to Sena-
tor Tillman won't be enough to cover
his railroad pass from here to Lanes.
Of course the Colonel will enjoy going
around with the campaign party and
telling his BILLY goat' story and
several others, but we don't believe
the Colonel seriously thinks for one
moment that he has a ghost of a
chance to be elected. So the opposi-
ton to Senator Tillman won't amount
to a row of pins.-Georgetown Out

Asthma Sufferers Should Know
This.

Foley's Honey and Tar has cured
many cases of asthma that We're con-
s3dered hopeless. Mrs Adolph Buesing,
7O1 West Third ST. Davenport, Iowa,
writes: "a severe cold contracted twelve
years ago was neglected until it finally
grew into asthma. The best medical
skill available could not give me more
than temporary relief. Foley's Honey
and Tar was recommended and one fifty
cent bottle entirely cured me of asthma
which had been growing on me for
twelve years. If I had taken it at the
start I would have been saved years of
suffering. Kaufman Drug Co.

BRYAN TALKS
ON SOCIALISM.
Why II Cannot Succeed in a Country
Like This.

London, July 3.-Wm. J. Bryan, in
an interview here today with the cor
respondent of the Publishers Press,
said he did not believe cooperative
socialism would succeed in America.
'sI do not think government control
of the means of production and dis
tribution would result favorably, nor
could it successfully be brought about
in a country as free as America. In
case of countries where freedom is
limited, people are more radical and
their demands might compel the
authorities, in a burst of radicalism,
to begin productive operations, but
American freedom tends to conservat-
ism in this direction.
81 distinguish between socialism,
meaning government control of fmeans
of production and distribution, and
municipal socialism. 1 believe in pub
lie ownership of natural monopolies,
but do not think this is really social
ism. I, also, believe that telegraph
lines should be purchased by the fed
eral government and put under con-
troll of the postofice. The railways,
also, should be publicly owned, the
trunk lines by the federal government
and small lines by individual States"

I was foolish enough to treat my stom-

Women Who Wear Well.

It is astonishing how great n change a
few years Of married life often make In
the appearance and disposition OF MARI
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from q
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect 10 deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesseS which too often come with mar
rage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form of its
fairness.

CHAPTER xvI.-(Continued. }

y
The woman sat down and stared at the
nat, white envelope, that was to be the
price of her freedom. Suddenly Sylvia
turned. She held in her hand a small,
old-fashioned picture.
THAT was how / looked twenty-five
years ago, George Stanton" she said.
you will find no hardness, no selishness
in that girls face. / started life hum
bly,, IL you will but at least there was
purity and honesty surrounding me.
Many have tried to search out my origin
and few have succeeded. / have been too
careful for that. 1t was not of myself
j thought so much, but of those who, in
the long ago, belonged to me and cherish
ed me. / have never spoken to a living
soul of that past till now but as we
stand on the brink of becoming man and
wife, / am driven TO look back on that
past. Something Of my old self saems to
cry aloud against what you would have
me do. / have never willingly stopped
to crime. See, this picture represents my
soul. In those days l was as white as a
sily. Swear to me on this picture that
this money came to you by no evil means,
and / will take you for my husband"
Advancing toward her, he tooG the pic
ture she held and pressed 1t to his lips.
II swear to you,' he said, thiekly, that
this money has come to me honorably."
The next moment she lay in Stanton's
arms, but the lips he kissed were unre-
sponsiye, and he knew that though he had
stained his soul to win this woman, she
would never really be his.

Little Girls Obstinate Case of Eczema
Mother Says: "Cuticura Rem

LAST year, after having my little
girl treated by very prominent physi
clan for an obstinate case of eczema,
resorted to the Cuticura Remedies, and
was so well pleased with the almost
instantaneous relief afforded that we
discarded the physicians prescription
and relied entirely on the Cuticura
Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticuca
Pills. When we commenced with the
Cuticura Remedies her feet and limbs
were covered with running sores. In
about six weeks we had her complete
ly well, and there has been no recur.

Cuticura Remedies are a valuable

STANFORD WHITE AND
THE GIRL IN THE PIE"

In the traditions of gay life in New
York. there is no incident more pic
,ueresque nor better remembered than
that of The Girl in the Pie" says the
New York American.
A banquet was in progress in James
Breese's studio. The studio was
synonym OF luxury. The entertain
character and truthful description
OF them would read like chapter
from QUO Vadis." In this instance
the host had surprised all his former
munificent hospitality.
The little spread" as Mr.. Breeze
chose to designate 1t, cost $3.50 a plate.
Artists, architects and men about
town, with several women of fash
ionable" stratum Of the underworld
were his guests. There had been much
drinking and little eating, toasts bril-
iidnt, put ftiuiIIlb tApuibdtIpll ioi
family use, and the hour was nearing
dawn. The guests were trying politely
to repress signs OF WEAKNESS, when
the host served his piece de resistance.
Four negroes entered, carrying a huge
pie, around which We're grouped wax
candles of every shade. The negroes
retired The banqueters looked on In
amazed silence. Beneath the crust I'm
faint STIR as If from living thing.
At sign from Mr.. Breeze, the or
chestra. concealed by palms, swung
into the strains of the old nursery jim
gle:
"Four and twenty blackbirds baked in
pie"
simultaneously, the stir beneath the
crust Increased. 1t was burst by
movent beneath and there rose
slim figure, half child, half woman,
who turned pretty infantile face upon
the diners. and stood poised, in her
black gauze wrappings. as a bird about
to fly, while twenty -four golden can
aries that had been imprisoned In
cages with her, released by her hand
flew about In every direction.
one of the men sitting at the end Of
the table rose and pressed his way to
the middle. He laughingly lifted the
girl from the table to the floor He
was Stanford White.
The girl was Susie Johnson, a child
model. She then was fifteen years old
Immediately after the dinner she dis
