In commenting on our editorial as
to railroad from this place to Ehr-
hardt, the Walterboro Press and
Standard says: eve echo these senti-
ments, and we recommend this pro-
posed road to the consideration OF
our business men. A railroad con-
Meeting with the main line would be
of great value to WATERFORD as well
as to Bamberg. Let us 60 to work. ="
If the business men Of Bamberg
will take up this railroad matter IN
earnest, with the determination to
accomplish results, we feel sure that
substantial aid will be rendered by
the citizens of Walterboro and the
road will be built. The people OF that
section are very anxious for this con-
nection. We can build the road if
we will.

Few people look at it that way, but
the man who plows into the public
road does more for the discomfort OF
the travelling public than he could
possibly do any other way. Some OF
the best roads in the county are be-
ing practically ruined by plowmen'
and it high time the practice was
stopped. No favors should be shown
any man guilty, no matter who ne
is, but the full penalty of the law
should be imposed. It will never be
stopped until the authorities come
down with heavy hand on all vlo-
lators of the law.

Union county is to have a special
term of criminal court, commencing
Monday, July 10Th. When the two
additional circuits were formed, the
promise was made that this would
stop these special terms, but we
notice they still continue. But the
politicians tell the boys to plow on,
all's we'll, and the taxpayers foot the
bills. How long, oh how long will
the people put up with extravaganza
in public matters?

A Great Catcher.

Here is a play which is vouched 1or
by two old ball players who saw 1t
come off and admitted to be true by
the victim Of the catch, big En- Gross,
once the star catcher Of the National
league and perhaps the heaviest hit
ting catcher that ever donned glove.
EN- was a great catcher, wonderful
thrower and grand hitter, but he had
his weakness, and that was in catching
foul flies. Some facetious writer In
those days remarked that EN- couldn't
see the high ones In daytime.
He tried for everything In sight, ran
circles around the ball and sometimes
speared it, but he never felt at ease
when one Of those tall twisting fouls
went up.
he was catching in Providence one
~ey when a Philadelphia batter poked
ID a fly that looked 500 feet high.
There was a wind blowing, and the
ball began to twist around in circles
with EN- doing a merry-go-round under
it. Finally, seeing that it was escap-
ing, he made q desperate effort to turn
quickly and fell fat on his back.
Instinctively he threw up his feet
and hands to protect his face. The
ball struck the sole Of his shoe, bound
ed up into the air, and as it fell again
En- reached out and caught 1t.
And the next morning Providence's
napers had the nerve to say he did 1t

Stop the Clock.

Two men were talking together in
the rear of a saloon, and the question
of Rockfeller's wealth came up. One
of them said, to show the enormous
income of the man:
"Say, do you know whenever that
clock (pointing to a grandfather
clock in the room) goes tick, Rookie
feller makes a thousand dollars?"
''Is that so?"
That's a fact"
Then stop the clock"

Never forget that you are a part
of the town, and that your own de-
pertinent helps to make up the
Strangers estimate Of the place. Sell
all YOU can and buy all you can at
home. Every dollar that is sent or
carried away from home makes the
town that much poorer. If you
have the means invest in some thing
that will give somebody employment.
Do not kick at proposed improve
ment simply because it is not at

Where money is unlimited and grounds

a good plan. In the little cottage that

that is well adapted for a narrow lot.
1t is jaunty and pleasing in its appear

Separate Blouses and
Bodices.
BY DOROTHY DALE.

The two blouses illustrated show de-
signs that would be suitable either for
separate waists to wear with white linen
the skirts being trimmed with graduated
tucks or insertions of lace, after the sea-
sons mode.
One of the designs shows a most effec-
tive style for sheer white material. Inch
wide lace insertion was used as trimming,
and there was a band of pale green
tucked null, set In between rows of In
sertion at the upper part of the yoke.
Fine yalenciennes allover was used to
make the lower part of the yoke, and
frills of val edging to match the insertion
were also used as trimming.
The skirt. If the waist is to be worn
as part of a complete costume, was
trimmed with three two-inch bands of
pale green set in between rows of In
sertion about the lower part. This idea
of colored insets Is also most attractive
in trimming white swisses, mulls, or or
candies, which are figured in color, the
color of the dot or figure In the material
being repeated In a plain fabric in the
bands on the bodice and skirt.
The second sketch shows a pretty
blouse, the model being in white hand
kerchief linen with insertions Of narrow
Cluny beading. The little collarlees yoke
was of the linen scalloped and embroid-
cred by hand in a simple eyelet flower
pattern This same design could be used
without the hand embroidery by substi-
tuting fine allover Valenciennes for the
yoke, standing collar of the same being

This cottage In modified form can be
built OF cement blocks. 1t has also been
planned to be built of frame consrruc-
ton with wire lath and cement on the
outside carried up to the shingles. The
design is we'll adapted to this treatment,
and the additional cost would not be great
over the siding.
The shingles on the walls should be
stained dark green, the shingles on the
roof Of the front porch and main roof
would look exceedingly well stained red,
the other portions of the house, siding,
cornices, etc, painted a light cream
color. This combination would make q
beautiful contrast and a very artistic
looking house. II outside green binds
were added 1t would not only be a com
fort but add much to the beauty Of the
house.
The cost of this house is given as ST.

Trade Talks.
Railroading.

Though offering but small wages with
hard and risky work, to the beginner
In "railroading," which means assistant
freight brakeman, the great railroads have
been able to build up a splendid esprit
de corps In their hundreds Of thousands
Of employees.
The civil service system of promotion
was known and practiced by railroads
long before the government or municipal
ity took 1t up. Though the man of pre-
ponderating ability will Jump" the man
of average ability Is reasonably certain
Of slow but steady progress up the lad
der.
Inasmuch as the Pennsylvania system
alone has 10000 employees, who with
their families would populate two cities
the size of st. Louis, 1t is easy to con-
ceive what a great proportion railroad
men are of the whole country's popula-
ton. Accordingly, the futility of such
short space demands that a succeeding
article be given over to this great sub
ject. Consideration will first be given to
the atmosphere" of railroading, for the
up-to-date young man seeking his life
work thinks of the social environment
and human consideration as much as he
does Of salaries paid.
Considering the demands Of the work
and the size of systems, 1t Is one of the
wonders of the century how we'll the COM
panies get along with their men. For
years railroad presidents have been ex-
perimenting with a desire to be human"
that is the man to man" proposition as
opposed to the martinez rule that Ia
bound to spring up. in a great system.
One railroad president in the Middle
West carries a photographer on every
trip to Europe, and when he comes home
gives stereopticon lectures to employees.
President Peters of the Long Island holds
regular levees In his offices to which ev-
cry one from trackwalker to division su-
perintendent is welcome. Industrial In
surance Is compulsory on the railroad
men. thus providing partially for their
families In case Of death.
Under present conditions anyone who
wants work 'railroadng" can get 1t,
provided he has physique and other quail
fcations, Outside of the clerical depart
ment, practically the only opening for
unskilled labor that promises future is
as extra freight brakeman, which usually
pays from $4,000 week up until regu-
lar run can be obtained. The next pro-
motion is to freight conductor, and after
that into the luxury of working on a
passenger train.

are no set rules for the restful room. 1t
may be the library the bedroom, the par
Tor, the kitchen even, and but one thing
is common to all these-if they are OF
the restful sort-they are not crowded
with furniture. We can go out and get
gaiety and excitement enough or we
can have these at home, If we 80 wish
1t; but the most of us prefer to come
home and feel the restful and quiet at
mosphere given by tasteful surroundings.
1t is given to very few to rise superior
to their surroundings, Indifferent to ugly
and inharmonlous things. Only those who
have known the figured, yellow paper,
the seventy-fve cent gilt mantle clock,
the unspeakable, upholstered. spindle
legged sofa, the painted tin plaque on a
twisted wire gilt stand-those alone who
have known these things can appreciate
the effort 1t takes to keep an equable
temper over such surroundings, and the
relief which is felt when foot is set In
a home in which the keynote is repose
and restfulness
