Monotony of proceedings in the
Federal Court was broken for brief
moment yesterday when Special OFF,
Ger Merrick and Attorney Simm,s of
Spartanburg, came dangerously near
engaging in a personal encounter.
Had it not been for the presence of
the court and Judge Brawley's tact
full insistance that the dignity of the
court must be preserved, the Incl
dent might have led to trouble.
1t seems that Mr.. Merrick, who
had been a witness with several
Others against one of MIR. Simms' cli-
ents, took exception to the lawyers
insinuations, and at the conclusion
of the latter's argument before the
Jury, told him so. Mr.. Simms said
that he did not consider that 4he had
done anything to apologize for and
refused to retract. Mr. Merrick in
sisted, and then Mr. Simms called
out to the court that he, an attorney,
was being threatened by an officer:
Judge Brawley cautioned both to
be careful, and the matter was soon
brushed over.

How to Mend Mating.

Often in moving a heavy piece or
furniture the mating on the floor will
have an ugly hole torn in 1t, says the
Chicago News. The torn place is usu-
ally where it Is the most noticeable
and cannot be covered with rug.
There is an excellent way to remedy
this defect by darning the place with
raffia Of colors to match the mating
straw. 1t is much better than threads,
and the work can be neatly done. 1t
may be necessary to run heavy cords
across the work through which the
raGia is to be woven. The threads are
sewcd in place with large darning
needle Torn places on the edge or
mating can be remcdied in the same
manner. 1t is best to sew mating to-
gether with a loose stitch using very
heavy linen thread for the purpose,
but where this cannot be done then use
the regular mating tacks or ordinary
tacks, placing first one side, then the
opposite side. to prevent the baggy ap-
pearance which so often occurs. New
err use Il claw hammer to lift tacks
from mating, since it invariably breaks
the straw. Get an old blunt chisei,
place it beneath the mating and tack
head. pound gently with the hammer
and pry the tack up. This will draw
tie tack out straight and leave the
m ttinp uDbroken
