You see. I am not a wife, but am a sister. and I know the gentle art or brotheriy teasing from A to z.
 When a man really loves his wife ne ought to combine all his incest senti- ments toward other women into one big sentiment for her.
 He should show her the respect ne feels toward-his mother, the politeness he shows other women. and the respon- sibiiity he feels toward his sister.
 To all of that he should add the great love he should feel for wife.
 Occasionally some benighted man usually college professor and bach eIor-suggests a school for husbands. Everyone laughs at him. but the fded is not so foolish as 1t sounds.
 If I had anything to do with that school would advise the following course:
 First, kindness; second, sobriety; third, sympathy; fourth. courtesy nth. not demanding too much of any one mana sense of humor.
 One great trouble abodt the average husband is that he comes to regard his wife as a possession. not as a wo- man.
 He is far too sure of her. especially if she has any children.
 He knows that he can stretcn the rein of her endurance pretty tight be- fore 1t will nsap. For the chil>swnf sake she will bear much.
 Tn reality. the mere fact that she has borne his children should add to his love and protectiyfness tenfold. says the Bulletin.
 Different women need different treat ment. but every woman in the world wants sympathy. you may be sure or that.
 Whether the man behind me at the opera was husband, brother or friend. I do not know. but one thing do kno., and that is that he was kind enough to be one, friendly enough to be the other, and courteous enough to be the third.
 Which do you think he was. For I'm sure I don't know.-Richmond News-Leader.

 In the article Sir Lauder Brunton makes the following speculation:

THE WAY IT is SERVED
 MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

The way a meal Is served makes all the difference imaginable. It matters not how much or how little you serve, unless 1t Is tempting 1t lacks almost everything True--it necessitates a little extra work to make an ordinary fish trif1e more tempting in appear ance, but it is always a satisfaction to the housekeeper to see the meals en- joyed.
 Take, for example, the clear soup served In cups at luncheon; 1t is very simple, at the best. but when served in fragile cups with dainty spoons. the cup placed on small fancy dolly if at once becomes a soup ofsimportance and Is also very tempting and delicious in appearance when few odd-shapeo crackers are added to it
 A soup made of white meat, the soup a clear white when done. can be made more tempting in appearance if q few French pears are added.
 Chartered hard boiled eggs. pieces of fresh parsley and slices of lemons or boiled beets all go to furnish dish decorations.
 Any meat dish looks best when gar nished with green. To overdo the work is really worse taste than not 70 do anything toward decorating the dishes. Spoonfuis of rice, placed u with green and few slices of lemon, makes the most pIebian roast look ike a prime cut. In many fashionable cafes they serve cream of corn soup win fancy crackers and few kernels or popped corn on each cup-just enough to look pretty as the soup is served.
 Tomato jelly has its foundation In gelatine. but 1t is very pretty among garnishes. A little fancy cutter can be used to cut shapes from radishes and beets.
 Lobster salads are more or less no- ticeable for their decorations. As some one says. They come to us with claws, nails and near-sighted vision. The small moulds which can be pur- chased for few cents are too yaiua- ble not to have in any home for Tn them the bits of cold meat can be moulded into meat jellies making a pretty dish served on lettuce leaves Clean nasturtium leaves. flowers and seeds furnish a most important part In preparing fish salads.

OF INTEREST TO SHOPPERS


 Wide stitchings are noted on the backs of the new chamois gloves. On the white varieties there are wide black stitchings and on the natural. bands of brown.
 The hosiery counter offers silk stockings with cotton soles and toes. The hose being so much more durable than the ordinary kind will be much in favor. They come in the tans and black.
 The new slippers. show buckles made of kid of the same color. White gilt buckles will be popularly worn, kid varieties will prevail. Chous or rosettes of lace adorn the white satin footwear.
 A short frock for little miss is very simply made of rosebud dinrity, with shallow tucked yoke. and all the edges of thef rock, neck, yoke, cuffs and around the bottom cut in scallops and button-holed in pink.
 Motor veils for fall wear are double, dainty shade serving as lining. The veils are of chiffon and are yard and a half square, finished with satin ribbon hem two inches wide.
 Some of the best wiping cloths for glassware are made from muslin which can be cut from mems worn-out white shirts. The muslin dries the glass quickly, with a good polish and does not leave any lint.

In speech recently delivered by
DR.. S. c. Mitchell, president Of
the South Carolina University, DR..
Mitchell made the following state
ment:
"How have all these signal results
in social progress in South Carolina
been achieved? The secret lies in the
cooperative effort Of the community
The individual may be weak :;
the community is strong, almost ON
nipotent when thoroughly aroused in
the interest of progress. The highest
lesson which We are learning to-day
is that Of cooperation in all efforts
for social progress. -
We have 50 often andeavored to
emphasize the truth contained IN this
statement that We are pleased to
have it expressed so strongly by an
other.
There is no doubt that the secret
Of success and growth Of any COM
munity lies in cooperation. Individ-
ual effort is all right but in order to
keep pace with the development and
progress of to-day every community
must have cooperation Of effort.

GEN, BUTLER IN THE SENATE.

"When Gen. Butler returned from
South Carolina in the winter Of 1894,
after his unsuccessful campaign for
reelection, and walked into the Sen
ate Chamber, the scene was the most
remarkable Of its kind that I have
ever witnessed. One or two W bio first
saw him enter rose and met him, and
in a moment practically all the Sena-
tors on both sides Of the Chamber left
their seats and focked around him,
expressing their sorrow for his de-
feat. The business Of the body was
practically suspended for a number
of minutes, and some Of the Senators
were greatly affected. After minute
had passed, Senator Frye, the Presl-
dent pro tenn, who was presiding, lett
the rostrum and came down and
Joined in the demonstration. AS a
tribute of personal affection the in
cident was perhaps without parallel
in the Senate, and it illustrated per-
sonal hold on his brother Senators by
Senator Butler that no other member
of the body has had. He was the
most loved man in the Senate, and
there was practically no difference in
feeling towards him by Democrats
and Republicans"
What we have related was sub
stantiallv the language of the late
United States Senator J. L. NJ. lrby
to the writer, after Col. Irby's retire
ment from the Senate ten or twelve
wears ago, and Senator Irby was a
rarely acute and discriminating judge
Of men and did not indulge in su-
perlatives.-News and Courier.
The same was true Of Gen. Butler
everywhere. He numbered his friends
by his acquaintance. If he ever knew
YOU, he always knew you and he was
the same pleasant and genial gentle
man always. Our first recollection OF
General Butler was hearing the peo-
ole who lived in the county when
they would return from Edgefeld
talk about how he would know them
and how pleasant he always was and
that he knew them by name. This was
while he was in the Senate. This add
&c to his ability and his courage made
him a great favorite not only IN the
Senate of the United States, but
ev verywhere.

WEST END PARK.
President Wright Has Completed
Park and Will Formally Open
May 8.

The Herald and News has hereto
fore written about the park which
President Wright Of the Newberry
cotton mills was laying out and beau
tifying on the grounds Of the COM
pany in West End.
The work Of arranging the park and
pavilion has been about completed;
and it is proposed to have a formal
dedication Of the park to the people
of West End on Saturday evening,
May s.
A very pleasant and entertaining
program has been arranged for this
occasion and while President Wright
has probably neglected to secure some
speakers who should have been on his
program, still those who are there
will entertain the public as we'll as
instruct those who are fortunate
enough to hear them.
In addition to the addresses which
are to be delivered, a musical program
has been arranged.
President Wright should have
brought Newberry into the lime light
of musical centers by bringing the
Damrosoh orchestra by Newberry for
this special occasion.
We notice that all the towns and
cities the size of Newberry are now
having music festivals, and, Of course,
with the musical talent which is here
in Newberry it is very important that
Newberry should not be behind IN
this matter.
However, President Wright has ar
ranged a very nice and happy pro-
gram and is to be congratulated on
the interest which he is taking in the
pleasure, comfort, and amusement OF
the people he employs in his mill.
The Herald and News wishes very
much that the authorities Of the town
of Newberry would exercise a like in
terest in beautifying and adornlng
and making arrangements for. the
pleasure and comfort of the people
of the community generally.
1t is we'll to make money but at the
same time we ought to do something
for the cultivation Of the finer quail
ties of our nature.
The following is the program for
the dedication Of the park on May g.:
1. Grand National-Newbery Concert
Band.
p. Song West End School.
3. Address-Dr. 0. B. Mayer.
4. Song-Young ladies.
Is. Merry Widow (waltz)-Newber-
ry Concert Band.
6. Address-President ]. H. Harms.
7. Cornet Solo-W. 81. Wherry.
Is. Red Wing-Newberry Concert
Band.
10. Address-Hon Cole. L. Blease.
10. Song-Young ladies.

Greenwood has begun the paving of
her public square and the work is
under the direction of competent en-
gineers. That should be the case al
ways. Newberry ought to have en-
ployed competent engineers before
any work was done in the way OF
sidewalks or street paving. 1t would
have saved money besides giving us
q better job.
We need to have some more street
paving done without delay.
Newberry is a larger town than
Greenwood and the cost to do some
needed paving would be no more than
at Greenwood.

Under recent act Of the leo1sla-
ture, Mr.. E. J. Watson, commissioner
of agriculture, has also been given
control Of the enforcement of the Ia
Dor laws as they affect the manufac-
turing institutions of this State.
In an interview with the Columbia
correspondent Of the Augusta Chron-
icle Mr.. Watson is quoted as follows
thereafter, it will not be we'll for
the mills or other concerns employing
children to let the inspectors catch a
child under the legal age inside Of an
establishment of this kind, even to
bring a lunch. The custom has pre-
vailed at many points in the state to
have children helpers-a child helps
his mother, or older brother or sister,
and his name does not appear on the
paw roll, but when the facts are
brought to light it is discovered that
this child is running two sides IN a
.1.iiil, the brother or mother or sister
getting the pay. This will be
stopped"
The following is a notice which
Mr.. Watson has sent out to all OF
the mills in this State:

THE DARK CORNER.

The second edition of Zach Nc
Ghee's novel, "The Dark Corner,'
is announced by the publishers, The
Grafton Press, New York, the first
edition, rather larger than the usual
one, by the way, having been COM
pletely exhausted. The book is some
what larger, more nearly the regular
novel size, with better and more
substantial binding. The author s
name appears in gilt on the front
cover, together with an attractive de-
sign in gilt. On the wrapper the pub
fishers give description Of the book,
which did not appear on the first
edition, as follows:
Something wholly new in Amerl-
can fction-a tale Of present day
life in the rural South, with scenes
and characters which, while unique
and picturesque, are yet real-by one
who was born and reared among
them. In vivid, fascinating style we
are shown a, hitherto neglected phase
Of backwoods life, being introduced
to the pompous 'perfesser,' the hol-
lering preacher, the grandlloquent
county statesman and the simple,
but sterling folk whom these impose
on-all 'in the original; while we
are told a story of love, romance and
'uplift' which, in the language OF one
critic, will make any person reading
it sit still until it is finished -
Upon the wrapper are printed also
a number of press comments. One OF
these which is rather out Of the ordl-
nary is that of the New York Even
ing Post, a paper which rarely praises
the work of any author. The Post
does not follow it's usual plan, how
ever, in its treatment Of Mr.. Nc
Ghee's novel. 1t points out several
features which it criticises, and then
proceeds in each instance to more
than make up for it's adverse opinions
by praising the book. 1t says:
"They (the contents) are limited
and often crude, but there is a real
ity, a sincerity that imparts positive
quality. Its naviete is overtopped by
the actual substance. The burlesque
humor is forgotten in the real. The
tasteless is forgiven for the sake of
the genuinely aspiring. With many
rawnesses and roughnesses it is in
some inscrutable way very hkable
little story"
The following are some Of the num-
erous other press comments:
The Charlotte Observer:
"The description Of certain phases
Of village life as depicted in Hollis
cille' and the pictures drawn Of the
bleak and dreary life of THE Dark
Corner are as clever and sprlghtly
as anything that has been done IN
American fiction this. many a day.
The humor Of the book is spontaneous
true to life, and absolutely whole
some. The character of 'Tilson' IS
nothing short Of great"
The Montgomery Advertiser:
"The man raised in a small town
of the South finds the book a we'll
spring Of delight. Such man has
never known many of the baronlal
planters who drink mint juleps and
say 'ah' for IT, so prominent in most
novels about the South, but he has
known the politicians and the shams

Corner. -

would it be with white and negro
school with only fence between the
lots!
Might it not lead to serious trouble
that co;;!l be easily guarded against
right now?
The negroes will never have a
school there, we'll you cannot tell
what the future will bring forth, the
negro Episcopalians have private
school in town at present, why not
another one later?
Avoid all race troubles while you
can, don force them or invite them
and when they do come your con-
science will be clear to fight them to
the death if necessary, but if You
bring them on then don't blame the
negro for the trouble caused thereby.

I would like to talk about.
I invited questions and I think po-
lite and pertinent and courteous ques-
tions are calculated to add interest
to my column, but did not promise
to answer all questions that might be
fired at me. I most humbly appre-
ciate the compliment some of these
questions pay me. I am going to take
it that way anyhow. Of course, you
know, they may be making fun Of me
and may be saying one thug and
meaning another but you know [ told
you we must be humble and have FSiah
in our fellowman.
But here is a question the editor
can ask "Dow, Jr.," whoever he IS,
to answer if he wants to. And want
to say right here and now and want
this Confederate son to understand
that 1 do not attempt in the slightest
to attend to other peoples business
and I don't know everything by a
jug full. I asked some Confederates
to answer some question for me s)me
time ago but they didn't.
But here is the inquiry:
Mr.. Idler: You seem to know every
thing and look after everybody s
business, so tell me please, was gen.
tleman told recently by a public Of
ficial hereabout, that he must make
an ex-Confederate soldier and an old
veteran leave his home or that he
would lose his place?
If so who was it?
