which were satisfactorily given. Mr..
McMaster finally decided to issue the
company another license, but not be-
fore giving the officials a bad scare.
The first case of rebating in violation
of the new law was brought before
Commissioner McMaster a few days
ago, the defendant being NJ. l.. Greg
ory, of Greenville. But the evidence
did not sustain the charge and the
case was dismissed. A good witness
who had seen Mr.. Gregory writing"
the man to whom the agent was ac-
cused of rebating, testified for Mr..
Gregory, as did the man written. And
the informant was haZy and uncer-
tain in his statements.

"DURN THE MERRY WIDow."-The
Merry Widow" as woman, hat or
phrase, has become disgusting. The
hat is supremely hideous. The
writer of this as his people we'll know,
is devoted to dress. flnery, fashion,
style, but the Merry Widow" hat is
hopelessly ugly in itself, and gives a
woman an air of loudness. Imagine
a great, illimitable far-spreading sail
or" with a huge, hideous fort built
around the crown. This fort is some
times circular, sometimes square,
sometimes three-cornered. And then
long, straight, stiff, cheap quills
are so disposed on the fort as
to make it doubly hideous. Fash
ion is one thing. Good, gentle,
refined taste is another. Fashionable
hats, even outside of the Merry Wild
ow," are too big and too ungraceful.
They make women look common, and
give them locomotor ataXia and volhu-
lus. Durn the Merry Widow. =

Letter to S w lnman,
Yorkville, S G,

Dear Sir: Mrs S C Ashes house in
Yorkville, S c, was painted Devoe 21
years ago and hadn't been painted
since; it is a handsome house and the
paint was in good condition when we
were there three years ago.
Do we therefore say that Devoe
wears 81 years in South Carolina?
No; on the sandy coast, where the sun
is hot and the flying sand cuts the
bark off trees, Devoe is the only
paint that wears more than one year.
Localities differ; Devoe doesn't
differ 1t is the paint that takes least
gallons to cover a job and makes
least cost and wears longest: how
long depends on sun wind sand etc.
Yours truly

FIRE ON RIVER STEAMER
 TERRIFIED THE PASSENGERS

Memphis. Tenn, Sept. 1.-The river steamer Peters Lee plying between Memphis and upper river points caught on fire a short distance above this city today and was peached on Island No. 8.

 The fire broke out at midnight, orig mating in the rear of the boat near the laundry.
 Seventy-five passengers were aboard. Immediately after the boat had been btached the gang plank was hurriedly put down and the terrified negro roustabouts. unmindful of the women or children. or of any consideration savxe their own safety. damned and crowded the gangway. despite the ef- forts of the crew. and were the first ashore. the passengers following. Tie steamer remained on the beach only a short time and arrived in Memphis on time today. One of the owners of the Lee" made the following statement:
 The damage to the steamer is slight: the linen room ths laundry and one stateroom is al the d,lmage done"

LACK OF SMALL MONEY
 WEAKNESSES MANY BANKS


 New York. Sept. 11.-The National and state banks through the country have cash reserves that have been equalled seldom in the financial history of the country. but there has developed this week scarcity of small bills which is beginning to embar- rass many bankers and their customers
 This lack of si and $2 bills is the more extraordinary because 1t occurs at season when email money Is ordinarily plentiful and because in the panic last fall tho treasury turned out small bills as rapidly as the printing presses could work them off and thus increased the amount to a point never before reached.
 Owing to the demand for small bills. the New York sub-treasury found itself yester- day without any bills of the smaller de- nominations except those that are turned in daily by the banks.
 Tho amount yesterday was but $4s,0oo or an average of but s2.ooo for every bank turning in the smaller denominations of currency. Requests were in much greater amount and many of the banks desirinR z small bills for their customers were oblig- ed 10 look elsewhere.
