AQ I'M GREAT REUNION:
GUESTS OF DAUGHTERS

The annual reunion OF the COnfed-
crate Veterans of this county at the
court, house yesterday was one Of the
pleasantest and most successful af-
/ fairs of the kind ever held here.
The veterans were the guests of the
Daughters of the Confederacy and
were most royalty entertained by that
noble organization.
The program of the day was quite a
lengthy one and was carried through
without a hitch and greatly enjoyed
by the veterans, as we'll as by num-
bers Of sons and daughters of veter-
ans who had gathered there
DR.. ]. D. Donald was to have deliv-
cred the address of welcome on be-
half Of the city, but was called away
just before the appointed time and
Hon. D. M. Watkins, one of the lead
ing attorneys of the city. was called
upon to extend the welcome, and did
SO in his usual happy, eloquent and
forceful manner.
Upon the conclusion of Mr.. Wat
kins address, Hon. Robert s. Hall, the
orator of the day, was introduced by
Rev. T. B. Holloman, the master of
ceremonies, and during the grafton he
held his audience spellboupd by his
splendid oratory and eulogistic praise
of the boys in gray and their wives,
daughters and sweethearts.,
Mr.. Hall said:
Confederate Veterans, Ladies and
Gentlemen:

good women have selected a novice to
perform this important and compli-
mentary duty. In the selection of me,
1t reminds me of the published Incl
dent of some great general who about
to make an important and decisive
charge on the enemy. He wanted to
select some soldier to take note of
the exact time the charge was made,
and instead of selecting some old and
tried soldier of his regiment to do
this task, he selected new and In
experienced young man, handsome
and well dressed, but raw in the art
Of war. He called the young man
from the ranks and informed him of
1.-The important office he was assigned
to. The young man feeling that the
long dreamed of time to make himself
and name famous in the annals OF
history had arrived, he understood
the duty So when all was made
ready and in the thickest and most
exciting time of the onslaught, the
general called on the young man to

REMOVING STAINS.

When a stain proves unusually obstinate
and absolutely refuses to come out by
ordinary methods. wet the spot thorough
ly and then cover with dry chloride of
lime. Let Il remain a few moments, rub
bling well with the finger meanwhile, and
then rinse until the lime is out. It will
generally be found that the stain Is gone.
also. If not apply again. A second ap-
plication will remove anything that is
removable.
Owing TO the nature OF the remedy. how
ever, 1t is far better to make a second
application than to leave the first one on
until the stain is all gone. The chemical
action of the lime removes a portion OF
the internal fibre of the material and thus
eats up the stained part. The proportion
Of fibre thus removed is SO small as to do
no injury. but If left on too long the lime
VIII insinuate itself, taking . strong hold,
and finally bite through the fabric, or
weaken 1t so It win soon wear in holes.
| Chloride Of lime is the base of javelle
water, which is so often recommended for
the removal OF stains. but using the pow
der itself is more satisfactory in many
ways, and, as It can be bought in small
cans with a sprinkling top 1t is quite as
convenient as when In solution.

THE JUNGLE's faint.

The student world OF Chicago Univer-
sity was shocked the other day to dis
cover that one of its social leaders was a
negress. The girl showed no trace of
her African ancestry. She was beautiful,
accomplished and popular. In every way
she showed herself the equal. II not the
superior. of her girl companions. But
when her secret leaked out they all shrank
from her as IL she were a poisonous SER
and tried to excuse themselves for ever
letting her become part of their life, says
the washington Star.
It was not because she had deceived
them. They probably deceive each other
every day. 1t was not because her brother
was a notorious gambler. A white girl
with a d~isreputable relative would un-
doubtedly a received their sympathy
and their closer friendship. It was simply
because she bore the objectionable blemish
Of a drop of black blood.
1t is doubtful If the negroes sas a race
will ever equal the white race in culture
n civilization. Yet one is inclined to
doubt our own culture apd civilization
when educated white girls refuse to ASSOC
ciate with their equal Of another race.
Yet. by all the laws of heredity and breed
ing. the outcast is. not of another race.
To descend to a vulgar comparison. the
girl is a thoroughbred white girl just az
much as our registered Jerseys are thor
oLghbreds. BY the laws of animal breed
ing in this country. a Jersey COW whose
ancestors for five generations ave been
registered Jerseys is a thoroughbred Jer-
sey. even If some animal In the sixth
generation was an Attorney. The girl In
question is no more than one-sixty-fourth
negro. yet all her white blood and all
her culture are considered to be lost IN
that one drop Of black blood. Truly, those
co-eds have neglected their mathematics.

SOME ADVICE
ON DooRBELLS.

1t Is quite as important 10 know how
to answer the doorboll as It II 10 know
how to ring II. Servants are apt 70 be
quite neglected. In this matter. and n
many houses one can tell whather the
mistress Is home or not by the promptness
or lack OF promptness- with which the
servant comes 70 the door.
To be sure. II isn't always possible 70
respond Instantly. In houses where there
is only one servant she may be engaged
in kneadlng bread or scruhbing the floors
and will require a few moments 20 wash
her hands and adjust her clean apron.
But servants arc not always the Offenders
In this matter. II seems almost 10 amount
TO a custom at certain houses to keep
one standing on the doorstep no matter
If tho weather be wet or the Thermometer
own In the teens.
In your parlor you would not walt nf-
teen seconds before you anseered your us
itor's question. Why should you keep them
on the doorstep fifteen or twenty minutes
when they ring TO know whether you are
at home? Then. again. probably you have
not been conscious Of it. hut every time
a doorbell Is pulled 1t registers TO a marked
degree the sort of person YOU ara Il Is
very edo that two rings are alike.
A doorbeil has az many voices as its
visitors. and its philosophy, while not
recognized In tho etiquette books, IN
eludes a number of things which may oe
remembered with profit at either end of
the wire.
The postman's has n snap and vim 70 IT
which is unmlstakable and tells you at
once tina he Is In a hurry. The caller
with a bad temper pulls the bell with a
quick. vicious jerk that sends a Wild
jangle into every corner Of the house. The
impatient caller pulls the hell in two
short jerks and does not walt long 10 re-
peat It again. The hesltating woman
draws It out In two or three timid half
way jerks and. allows It to relax with a
faint. apologize tinkle. The jolly friend
that knows she Is welcome grasps the knob
with a hearty swing that Is fairly eloquent
with gccd nature.

a noticed how very few really
hot days we have had during the present
summer s~eason-days when re really SUI
fered from the heat? And don't you think
there is a lot more complaining than
there need be, even from those who are
obliged to stay in the city most of the
summer and work?
But there is a class OF people who al
ways complain. They find fault with the
heat, and in the winter they find fault.
too, because 1t. is cold. They find fault
with their food, their clothes don't suit
them. and even when a friend volunteers
TO do them n kindness they complain about
the way 1t was done.
People who are ~discontented are never
happy, and, besides, they mar the happi-
ness of those around them. To hear a
person constantly complaining when there
is little need TO complain will wear the
patience of the meekest Of us. Yet there
are people who newer do anything else but
complain.
IF she would only be quiet; she is never
satisfied" l heard a woman say of a
member of her household, who WINS
grumbling about the heat.
And 1t was the truth. She fretted and
worried constantly and worried everybody
else by telling them she was afraid she
was going to be stricken by the heat.
No amount of reasoning could persuade
her that she could make herself very COM
Portable If she did not give SO much
thought to the weather conditions and her
self. The fact of the matter is she
imagined 1t was arm and suffered ac-
cordingly.
We are really well off. and so Is this
particular woman, If she could only be
made to realize 1t. When we think Of the
hundreds of poor mothers and sickly
babies who crowd the hospitals and dis
pensaries during the hot wealth we
should consider ourselves fortunate. We
can at least provide the things that will
add to our comfort, but for those who
live in the crowded enement districts.
where dirt and squalor and bad sanitary
conditions abeund there is little comfort
during the trying heat of August.
We can make ourselves comfortable
under any and all conditions. IL we only
try; but fauit-finding and complaining will
never d much to our comfort.

your maid or butler standing at the front

REMARKED AT 50?
DIVORCED WIFE OF MAN
MAKES CLAIM.
If MRS. McCarren Can Show That Rich
Ex-Husband Took Her Back, She
win GetsHugo Fortune.

ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 9.-Upon the
ability of his widow to prove a secret
remarriage to aged and wealthy Alex
ander McCarren, of New York, rests
the success of her claim to a fortune OF
$3.50, 900 left by the dead man, over pos
session of which heirssare now at war.
A most unusual romance, Mrs. Nc
Carren's attorneys declare. will be UNI
folded at theN hearing in this city,
which began today before Counsellor
w. 1. Garrison, referee for Judge Nc
Call, of New York. They say 1t will be
shown that, after q separation late In
life, the aged pair were again reunited
in marriage after a chance meeting at
the Marlborough-Ble nheim in this city.
Mrs. McCarren will depend upon the
testimony of Josiah White and his sons,
proprietors of the hotel, to prove that
the second marriage actually occurred,
these men being CALLED in as witnesses
to a simple ceremony performed in one
of the hotel parlors. The understand
ing between the aged pair was that the
wedding was to be kept a secret, and
McCarren is said to have carried the
secret to his grave.
That there was a separation Attor-
ney Daniel w. B~loomenthal, counsel for
Mrs. McCarren, admits, but he says the
flame OF love burned afresh when, a
few months afterward, they met here
in 1908. McCarren then was so years
old, while his bride vas 60. The at
terney expects TO thwart the fight of
other heirs. based upon the allegation
that the aged pair were divorced by
the courts, thus shutting her out from
any share. of the fortune. Documents
to substantiate the claims of Mrs. Nc
Carren are said to have been dis
covnred.
