It has been my habit to advise moth.
ers to steal a while away from every
"cumbrous care" and, even II sleep
fails to be wooed, to take about 2C
minutes every day in absolute peace
from all anxieties anl relaxing all the
muscles. A habit of this kind is
easily acquired. and We might have

show condition of affairs that jus

The treasurer, Mr. John o. Ed

$4,000, but this does not necessari-
ly mean that the treasurer is guilty
of peculation, since the shortage

Mr.. Edwards to-day stating that he
has the money to cover the short

The auditor, Mr.. c.. N. Virgins,
is reported for "grossest. neglect and

made by the experts IN regard to
the auditors books are very strong,
to say the least.

Senator Tillman paid grand aao
beautiful tribute to the womanhood
Of the South, who, he said, would
keep the race pure, but he scored in
scatching terms white men who were
guilty Of the great wrong to their
race of raising colored families. He
said all such men were the worst
enemies the South had, and that
they should be made to leave the
South in broad, open daylight, never
to return. AS usual with the sen
ator, he did not mince his words
when on this branch Of his theme
but talked out plain and ia unnis-
taxable language. He told Of some
Of his experiences in speaking to
Nortehrn people. He said the peo-
pie of the North were having their
eyes opened about the conditions at
the South and that they were will
ing for the South to settle the race
question if it was Eliminated from
politics.
He said the Northern people had
so few negroes among them that the
race question did not menace them
as it did the people Of the South.
He said the negro up. North was
like one dead fly in pan of milk,
which could be swallowed by the
people of that section without much

conditions were reversed. Here, he

Mills te Shut Down Jaly !.

Spartanburg, April 3O.-President R.
q. Oates of the Arkwright mills has
handed to the press the following
statements:
cat representative meeting of cot
ton manufacturers held this day in
the chamberof commerce it was re-
solved that they will accept no fur
ther orders for cloth at present prices; !;
that they will shut down their mills
indefinitely not later than July 1, 1908. !"
In reply to many inquiries on the
part of reporters the only answer was
that the above was all there was to
be given out as to the meeting of the
cotton manufacturers,
and when the mill men were appro-
ached they declared with one accord
that they had nothing to give out. 1t
is sr1derstood that this meeting repre-
sented the cotton cloth manufacturers
of South Carolina, Georgia and North
Carolina, those not represented by
officials being represented by proxy.
Though there has been much dis
cussion of a possible shutdown the
impression here has been that the blow
would not fall-that in some way it
would be avoided-but the resolution
has had disquieting effect in all cir
cles. There are 81 mills in this coun-
ty and fully $15,O00,0O0 invested in
them. The proposed shutdown is the
result of the demoralized condition in
the cotton cloth market.-The State.

Corn an5 Cash.

Corn in the crib is just like cash in
the bank.
Most farmers who have corn at this
season also have cash.
There are very few farmers who
have cash and no corn.
The man who buys corn at this time
has to send out of the country cash
that would be very acceptable at
home.
If York county should raise all the
corn she needs, there would be great
deal more cash than there is because
approximately speaking, every bushel
of corn that comes here from the
West pinches one dollar off of the To-
cal circulation.
All good business men have more
or less appreciation of the extent to
which corn is a money crop. 1t is
only those who have less business ca
pacity who hold that there is no
money in corn.
1t is very rarely the case that a
farmer who makes enough corn to run
him until the next crop gets into fl
nancial difficulty and it is almost as
rare when farmer who fails to make
sufficient corn to run his place, gets
to the next crop without troubles

sembly of the State Of South Carolina,

Young White Woman Found
Dead IN Room.

Mary Mayes, young white woman,
aged 20 years, was found dead in her
room at Enoree few nights ago.
Her mother said she heard a struggle
in the girls room and when she en-
tered the room found her daughter
dead. The next morning black marks
were noticed about the throat and
there was suspicion that her death
was caused by violence. Coroner
Turner held an inquest, but there was
no evidence to bear out the foul play
theory. The physician stated that
death was from natural causes and
that the dark spots on the neck was
caused by the bursting of blood ves-
sci.
