SlMr1S ON IMMIGRATION.
He Favors the Coming of Aliens fn'Re'
stricted Sense.

BARNwELL, Oct..20.-The Sake
hatchie agricultural club, composed
of farmers and business men in and
around Barnwell, held an important
meeting at it's club house a few miles
from town Friday. The feature of
the meeting was a discussion of i'm
migration by several members. A
number of prominent men spoke,
among them Hon. Charles Carroll
Simms. Inasmuch as Mr.. Simms
has been prominently spoken of as a
possible candidate for the office Of
United States senator, his position
on the question of immigration may
beofinterestto thepeople of the State
Among other things Mr.. Simms
said that he favored immigration in
restricted sense. He declared that
the natural immigration which
comes from a proper advertisement
of the States resources met with his
approval.
He thought that the bureau of i'm.
migration should be maintained and
supported in a manner sufficient to
allow it to continue the work of let
ting the world know what South
Carolina has to offer homeseekers.
He praised Col. Watson for his work,
saying that he was an officer OF char
acter, earnestness, courage, ability.

Most Applicants Negroes.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-That SO
few white men in the South are seek
ing civil service positions is now a
matter of deep concern to the Of
ficials of the postofice department.
A recent examination for positions
in the railway mail service was held in
various points in the south and seven
eights Of the applicants were negroes.
The postofice department is perplex-
ed. They say that the reason white
men are not taking the examinations
is that so many negroes are serving
in the railway mail service. In one
Southern city all of the applicants
were negroes and the department de-
clined to give the name of this city.
They look upon the whole situation
as grave and it is very evident that
this particular examination is looked
upon with considerable concern, so
much that they are extremely eau
tious about talking on the subject.

WAYS OF DRESSING THE HAIR.
Pumes, Jewels and Wreathes All
Have Their Admirers

The paradise plume is as popular in
coiffure decoration as in millinery and
this soft, sweeping feather is more
easily adjusted in the hair than are
the little ostrich tips which rival the
paradise feathers in general popular
ity.
The full straight aigret is much
worn in Paris-not the fine small al
gret for many seasons past used in
association with knots of velvet or
tulle or with jeweled ornaments,
but such a big aggressive aigret as
has appeared upon many a modish hat
this winter.
Next to the jewel and feather orna-
ments the Partisan most favors sin
gle large rose or cluster of smaller
flowers.
A wreath of simple green leaves
pointed in shape and arranged in Ma
poleonic fashion with the points meet
ing at the center front is an unpreten-
tious affair, but has charming possi-
bilities in association with the right
coiffure.
Wreaths of small flowers are always
charming and some exceedingly at
tractive things are shown in these
floral wreaths in coronets.
A cluster or roses posed at the left
side of the coiffure and holding cor
onet wreath OF maidenhair is good
design. Maidenhair of gold and sill
yer, as well as roses of gold and sill
YER, is much in evidence.
A wreath Of exquisitely natural vio-
let's sprinkled with dewdrops is most
attractive and wreaths made up of
tiny morning glories in all the deli
cate morning glory colorings shot with
silver are among the loyeliest of the
novelties.

Frock for School Girl

The simpler combinations are most
practical. The green and blue, with
lines of white, yellow or red that is
an old and tried favorite. Gay Stuart
tartans that seem just right for
bright, dark-eyed little maids, and are
almost as pretty on flaxen-haired
Gretchens, are used by the best
houses Then there are newer and
rather more somber combinations of
blues and browns and white grounds
barred with other colors Judiciously
selected to brighten or subdue the ef-
feet as the materials demand.
Blue serge is the material chosen
for some of the incest gowns and
suits, both for the school girl and for
the mother. This never goes out of
style, but is this season reckoned par
ticularly smart
1t demands the incest cut and finish,
and needs to be given an air by the
use of a color contrast of some sort.
Almost any tint may be selected that
is liked and becoming to the wearer.
A soft bright green all the fashiona-
BILE reds, as well as scarlet, light gray
ish blue, and the various deeper by
drangea shades Tawny browns and
yellows are all excellent for this pur'
pose.
Nearly all the schoolgirl frocks
have washable cuffs. Many of them
have also lingerie cuffs that are pret
ty, but soil very quickly. In most
cases it will be most practical and al
together satisfactory to use regular
guimpes that can be changed as FIRE
quently as necessary and that stay in
place and look trim, however much
the active little wearers may romI
about,
Iron County register., 1907-01-31

The principal amendment was the
substitution of a new section, which
was taken from the statutes OF Neg
York. Under the bill as originally In
troduced, and to which there was some
objection raised, 1t would be unlawful
for the paid agent Of corporation to
speak to my member of the legisla-
ture except through the committee.
and not then until after he had COM
piled with other conditions.
The amendment makes the lobbyist
or legislative agent file with the sec.
retary of state statement of the in
terest or corporation he wishes to rep
resent, together with the legislation
he intends to promote or oppose.
A statement of the expenses in
CURED by the lobbyist during the ses-
sion of the legislature must be filed
within thirty days after the close of
the session by the corporation repre-
sented, verified by the oath of the leg
islative agent.

Fitting a Skirt.

Trouble is sometimes experienced
In fitting skirt to a stout figure, but
little insight into the correct method
of changing the pattern will be saw
ing of time and patience. After cut
ting and carefully basting the seams
try the skirt on. 1t must be pinned
smoothly around the hips, the front
gore hanging perfectly straight. The
fullness OF the back should now be
laid into plaits and pinned into place,
In cutting the skirt for stout person
1t is well to cut the front and first side
gore a little longer than the pattern
It is very essential that the front gore
be kept in the position in which it is
now pinned. To do this the side cores
will have to pe lifted.

Fur Hats Grow in Popularity.

Fur hats grow in popularity with
the length of the winter. Black lynx,
caracul, mink, chinchilla and squirrel
are the animals used for making
quaint and charming head dresses.
A smart little hat Of gray squirrel
is trimmed with rosette formed of
tiny balls of the fur. This rosette is
set at the left side and supports two
large gray tips. The cravat which
matches this hat is long one. Small
tails form the fringe and two wee
heads are set near the ends of the
tippet. The square muff is similarly
decorated.

CHAPTER xXI.-CoNrlNuED.

She only said: 'T understand" and
they went on in silence to where the
horse was tethered by the wayside.
The old gig, its dusty sides tapping in
the wind, stretched empty shafts, like
long, hungry arms, across the road.
Lavender climbed into the seat to
await the return Of Gonzaga, who had
taken the horse to drink from the hol-
low log at the rear of the church.
Alone and unobserved, Lavender drew
the slip Of paper from the little black
bag that hung at her waist. Through
tears which dimmed the scrawling
characters she read the words:
"She will be there; she needs you;
come secretly-I ask this favor by my
double right. Belle Price"
Unnoticed she sat apart from the
crowd which was dispensing now with
Jest and banter.
Unnoticed-save by two men, who,
starting to walk to the village, looked
back, and stopped at sight of her.
Winslow shaded his eyes. Even at
this distance he recognized the grace
full heap of muslin in the dusty gig.
He stared long, but said nothing, and
made no move In her direction.
''My brother will not go, them" for
Owatoga had OWNED his masters in
decision-knew his desire to join her
whom his eyes held thus in mute gaze,
admiring, tender.
To his surprise, the answer was sud
den, vehement. "No, Owatoga, will!
not go. It would only make me feel
more the fool of fortune when that
Spanish bravo busters up with his
air of ownership. Some day, shall
find out why he dares."
"Owatoga knows" said the Indian
oracularly.
Winslow looked up. "You think II
As because of what the preacher said
He thinks to marry herr"
Then as the other gravely nodded:
''Let his thoughts beguile him, then,
and a harsh laugh grated through the
shut teeth. "He shall never have her!
We must prevent it, Owatoga; he must
not marry her." and he turned swift
ly down the road with futile anger in
his heart.
He failed to note that the Indian did
not follow. Intent upon his unhappy
thoughts, he did not hear the sig
nificant repetition Of his words: "He
must not have her," with which Owa
toga went back-straight to the girl ir
the wagon.
At the Indians approach, she slipped
the yellow envelope with its-to her
ominous revelation, again into tht
silk bag.
Good morning, Owatoga. l feared
you were not going to grant me a!
much as a nod of your feather to-day,
she said, with forced lightness.
But he had no time to waste il
pleasantly; the Spaniard might return
at any moment. He placed one grea

1t is no longer the thing to make
of children idols for the display of a
mothers taste in dress. No child
should ever be made uncomfortable
or conspicuous by her clothes. The
one is detrimental to the bodily de-
velopment, as well as that tranquil
lity which comes from forgetfulness
of self, which is so necessary for the
child's happy growth of mind. To
make child conspicuous panders to
her vanity and spoils her manners

eyes we're on a level with her own.
S'The white maiden come with yonder
one?" and he pointed down the way
the Spaniard had taken.
Lavender bowed without speaking
1.-THE white maid will be with him
always?"
To gain time, she feigned ignorance
of his meaning. BE with him?" she
echoed, inquiringly, and he repeated:
"He will take the white maid for his
squaw?"
Lavender WINGED, and her laugh was
high and forced, as she replied: 1--WE
do not call it that; we say wife,"
"It is the same" the other insisted.
Then as she had not answered him:
"You will be his wife?" he demanded,
sternly.
There was a moments hesitation,
while Lavender stared into the woods
opposite. Just then her hand touched
the silken bag, and the paper she had
crushed into 1t rustled a reminder.
This was the feather in the scale. She
raised her head. "Yes," and she met
his stolid gaze deiantly. TO her sur
prise, he only said. with utmost ir-
relevance: Come with me-Owatoga
has something to show" Then as she
hesitated. "It is boon Owatoga
Graves; he would take walk with
the white maiden" and his stern
mouth relaxed in half smile. And,
indeed, why not? She had often taken
long walks with him as guide, and ne
was ever faithful, interesting. Besides
1t suited her defiant mood to be abb
sent when Gonzaga should return.
