The Winters Muf.

Muffs are exceedingly graceful
Ia design this year, and while
fiat effects are still seen, the
round muff is gradually asserting
itself-not the. actual small,
round, old-fashioned muff, of
course, but rather a compromise
between this model and the later
fiat style. One such muff is a
partly rounded affair made of er-
mine. and trimmed with mink,
two entire bodies being used
These bodies start under the
heads, curve upward, and then
take opposite directions, pointing.
downward, ending gracefully in
tiny tails.-Woman's Home Com

We love the man with a smile;
the maa with. the roses on bis

all faults but whose tongue is

Two Young Hearts and Lives Made

One in the Church of orr Saw
iour st Trenton To-day
There have been times whcr
Edga6ald and Trenton mingled
their tears in common sorrow
but to-day they, with great Joy
aud exultation. join in showering
congratulations and good wishes
upon the happy marriage Of two
of their best. beloved young peo-
PIE.
At eleven o'clock this morning
the Church of Our Saviour at
Trenton will be the scene of one
of the most beautiful weddings
ever held within the borders of
our county. Loving friends have
adorned the interior of the church
in manner befitting such an oc-
caaion, the beauty being further
enhanced by the soft light OF
numberless candles. Mr.. Bettis
Cantelou will lead to the altar
Miss Sara Lee .Morrall, where in
the presence of great throng OF
relatives aud admiring friends,
Rev. Royal Shannonhouse will.
utter the solemn words that will
make them man and wife. Mrs.
B. R. Tillman, Jr., will be dame.
of honor, and besides the maid Of
honor, Miss Florrie Morrall, and
best man, Mr.. J. E. Minis, there
will be no other attendants. The
bride will be given away by her
brother, Mr.. Gadsden Morrall, OF
Charleston. The ushers are DR.. R.
A.. Marsh, Mr.. Ben Bettis, Mr..
Walter Wise and Mr.. R. B. Will
lis Of Augusta.
From the church the wedding
party and a few relatives and
friends will repair to the elegant
home of Mrs. S. A. Morrall, where
an elaborate wedding breakfast
will be served. Mr.. and Mrs.
Cantelou will board the early af-
ternoon train for a weetern trip,
going by way of Aeheville aud the
Land of the Sky"
The prominence of the bride
and groom, as well as their popu-
larity, has been the cause of such
great interest being taken in their
marriage. The bride is descended
from two OF the Oldest, most Gu
tured and most honored South
Carolina families, and is young
woman who possesses unusual
magpetism and personal charms.
The groom is also a worthy de-
scendant of very refined and aris-
tocratic ancestry. being ameng
the Oldest and most prominent
families in Edgefield county.
After spending fortnight up
on their wedding journey Mr.. and
Mrs. :. Cantelou will return to
Edgefeld and be at home to their
friends at the home of Mrs. Ella
S. Tompkins. About the first OF
March they will q out to MIR.

Nothing Equals Human Fingers.

Nothing Equals human Fingers.
Mr.. John G. Shaw told tho wri-
ter a few days ago that recently
he saw a catton picking machine
in Augusta, and after watching
its operations, which were only a
partial success, he remarked to
It's owner: "fbe great Creator
made the five fingers OF human
hand to I'll an open boil of cotton
and no satisfactory substitute can
be found" We believe Mr.. Shaw
was right. To say he least, the
DAY is very remote when a cotton
picking machine will be SUCCESS
fully operated.

Edge6eld's genial clerk of court,
Mr.. w. B. Cogbnrn, has doubtless
recorded many unique mortgages,
but we question whether he has
recorded one more novel or as
far-reaching in it's terms as the
following which is recorded in
Colleton county: "One red and
white COW and calf, also az in
crease and all farming utensils
and all poultry on yard; also one
small dog, said to be good at
'possum aad coons; and on ali
crops that may be cultivated by
me or my family uniucumbered. "

Letter to DIR. Manly Timmons.

NNSS AS'Ns3 os We
Dear Sir: Here's tale VI ith point
to it. Florida is the hardest state in
the union for paint.
Gilmore & Davis CO. Tallahassee,
Florida, think they know what paint
can do in their climate: they've been
palnte RS for 35 years. Devoe ten
years; and they say Devoe wears 10
years-their words are :"Buildings we
painted Devoe 10 years ago are in good
condition of paint today"
They also say lead-and-oil wears
only one year there; Devoe 10 years!
Ten years is long lifetime for
paint in Florida; longer than 20 in
Maine. We don't dare say that either
is true as a general fact in those
states; but there are such instau ces.
If we should call the cost of Deyoe
in Florida half of the usual cost of
paint, it would be too much; we sup
pose it's about one-third; there is so
much trash there~the costliest paint
is the worst. and the worst is the
costliest everywhere.
Yours truly

Edgefield as a Cotton Market.

While for some time the course
of the cotton market has been
steadily downward, the local buy
ers have this season kept up Edge
fields reputation by giving every
traction of cent that the prevail
ing price of the staple would war
rant. It is alleged that on some
markets combinations exiat
among the buyers to such an ex-
tent that there is very little bid
ding, one against ths other. Such
capnot be said of Edgefeld. Every
buyer stands for himself and must
bid lively if he gets any of the STA
Pile. Scores and scores of farmers
fer many miles around will testi-
fly to tbe fact that Edgefeld stands
among the leading cotton markets
in this section of the state.

IN
COAL: REGIONS
All Disputes Between Miners
and Operators Settled By
Commission

NEW YORK, July 16.-The follow
ing statement is authorized on behalf
of the anthracite coal operators:
The board of Cancellation, created by
disputes between the anthacite coal
miners and operators, has at last a
clean docket. Not single case Is to-
day pending. This marks condition
of industrial peace brought about by
means which are probably unique in
this country. 1t must be assumed that
if the miners have no complaints to
make, they are satisfied with the way
they are being treated.
During the four years of the COM
missions existence 1859 differences be-
tween the coal operators and their elm
ployes have been settled. The board
itself-composed of three representa-
tives of the operators and three Of the
miners-has disposed of 1872 of the
cases, and an even division Of the
board has made it necessary to refer
only q cases to an umpire. OF these
appeals he sustained the complainant
in only six cases.
Experience gained In handling the
complex questions involved has en-
abled the board to render it's decisions
with increasing promptness and Of the
159 cases presented 40 were disposed
of within less than one month.
OF the grievances considered only
one was presented by the United Mine
Workers of America as body repre-
senting all the miners. Thirteen were
presented by the operators and 146 by
the miners. BY the boards decisions
20 cases We're sustained lis not sus-
tanned or withdrawn, and Is settled
through the influence of the board"
Almost every element of the miners
welfare is involved in controversies
brought up for consideration. The dis
charge of an employee failure of an
other to secure reinstatement, suspen-
sion of a contract for loading "dirty
COAL" requests for a half holiday on
pay day, and scores of other questions
come before the board.
Questions affecting wages have been
rarely brought before the board, for the
reason that the anthracite strike com
mission, after exhaustive investigation
settled upon a minimum scale OF
wages, which was. renewed for three
years by the miners and operators al
the expiration. April 1. 1906, of the
original arrangement To put the min
ers upon a sharing basis the
| commission further awarded that for
| every advance of cents above $3.50
in the wholesale selling price per ton
Of domestic sizes Of coal at tidewater,
the wages of every man about the
mines should be increased one per
cent. above the schedule.

TO DEVELOP
RICH VALLEY
Oregon Short Line Officers
Will Investigate New
Territory

SALT LAKE, July 16.-General
Manager Bancroft and other officials
of the Oregon Short Line will go to
Idaho this week to investigate the
feasibility of running a line into Te-
ton basin. This valley lies approx
mately 100 miles east of the present
st. Anthony branch of the Short Line.
1t is a fertile valley, and in the past
few years has been largely developed.
Several towns and villages of mod
crate size have been established there,
and broad areas of land are being
brought under cultivation. The re-
sources of the valley have only been
indicated thus far, however and men
who have looked over the ground are
of the opinion that it will shortly rival
it's neighbor the Snake river valley.
For long time the residents of Te-
ton basin have been clamoring for a
railroad The long wagon haul from
the present line has retarded the
growth of the valley largely, and
boosters of the section have been ac-
tive in agitating the question of a rail-
road. The railroad company, however,
has not felt justified, up to the pres
ent time to go to the expenseofbuild-
ing thed esired road, particularly as
it has been making large expenditures
for the extension of the present line
to Yellowstone park. With the COM
pletion of this extension the attention
of the railroad officials is again being
turned to the proposed Teton branch,
and 1t is confidently expected that the
coming visit of Mr.. Bancroft and his
associates will result in the giving of
orders for the construction of the line.
Gossip in local railroad circles has it
that Gould has his eye on the Idaho
territory and that this fact is urging
the Hartman people to action in the
matter of getting into the basin, 1t is
said that the Utah Fuel company has
quietly secured options on large areas
of coal land in Teton basin (of which
there are stretches of many miles)
and this is taken as an indication
that the Could system may be extend
ed into Idaho, territory which at
present the Short Line controls ex-
clusively.

OPIUM CURE
FROM INDIA
COnCOctiOn Made By Boil
ing Leaves Of Shrub
Stops Craving

WASHINGTON, July ia report
from Consul Lester Maynard, of San
dakan, shows that the opium cure of
the Straits Settlements has reached
Borneo and has been tried with good
results. The consul reports:
drug which is claimed to be a cure
for the opium habit has recently been
introduced into British North Borneo.
and although it has been used but
short time many old opium smokers
claim that they have greatly reduced
the amount of opium smoked by them
daily. The drug is used with the OBJ
ject of counteracting the effects and
finally curing the craving for opium.
A connection is made by boiling the
leaves and mixing the result with
opium. After smoking, a dose of two
tablespoonsful of the drug should be
taken. and this lessons the desire for
further indulgence. The drug is known
to the Chinese as Tong Hing Chu.
Mr.. l.. Wray, curator of the TAPPING
Museum at Perak, has identified the
plant as "Combretum sundaicum" 1t
is woody climber, with opposite
leaves, in size and shape somewhat re-
sembling that of the pear tree, and
bears globular clusters of small white
flowers arranged in panicles, the flower
being followed by red fruit about
an inch long furnished with four longi-
tudinal wings. The plant is abundant
on the plains around Kuala Lumpur,
in Selangor.
The properties of the combretaceoe,
the natural order to which it belongs,
are very little known. Some are used
IL malarial fevers, two are known to
possess vermifuge properties. and one
is used for poisoning bats. A few
preliminary tests applied in the re-
Search laboratory of the Pharmaceuti-
cal Society of Great Britain to the
small quantity of the leaves available
indicate only the presence OF an as
tringent principle and coloring matA
ter. but do not afford a definite proof
Of the presence of any alkaloid or glu-
coside. although the leaves appear to
contain some substance as yet un-
known to chemists.
