Pointed Paragraphs.

A man likes you to think he's
smart because the candidate he voted
for got elected.
The reason stout woman doesn' :
expect to keep on getting fatter is
she keeps right on.
A girl is almost as much flattered
by having a man propose to her as
his sending her box Of flowers.
There's nothing that can influence
a man to take a present home to his
wife SO strongly as a guilty con-
science.
You can spend an awful lot of
money educating boy to reason
about one-tenth as we'll as he could
do before by instinct.
All the money a man would make
in one form of investment he loses
in another.
The more mistakes man makes
the luckier he is if nCne Of them were
to get married.
Where a girl is smart IS knowing
how many more beaux she can have
by being pretty without the brains.

BOB EVANS URGES PATRIOTISM.
Tells Naval Apprentices to be True
to the Flag and Honor Women.

to the Flag and Honor Women.
"You ought to be proud to be in
a profession which required you to
die, If need be for your country"
said Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans,
U. s. NJ, retired, as he handed GER
tificates of promotion to those of the
naval apprentices brigade at Newport
r. l., who last Sunday became petty
officers. "Be true to yourself and
your flag and your country and honor
women. Be thoughtful and courte-
Gus to them and do your full duty"
The scene was most impressive as
the Admiral, crippled by an old civil
war wound, leaned forward in his
carriage and addressed the 1900
boys in their spotless white uniforms
drawn up on the parade ground. The
entire available force Of the train
ing station turned out to receive Ad-
miral Evans, and at the conclusion
of the presentation of certificates to
the petty officers, the brigade sang

REUNITED BY PICTURE.
Brother and Sister Meet Under Pc
culiar Circumstances.

A dispatch from Atlanta says the
publication of photograph of Edgar
Allen Poe, which had been an heir
loom in a Virginia family, resulted
in the reuniting Of two members Of
this family, brother and sister, who
had been separated for seventeen
years. The photograph was pub
lished by A. C. Snyder. Mrs. D. s..
Webb, his sister. living less than four
blocks from him, was struck by the
resem blance Of the photograph to
the old picture with which she was
familiar, and after becoming con-
vinced that her brother was it's pos
SCISSOR, sent for him without letting
him know her identity. He did not
recognize her when she met him
at the door, but asked for her hus-
band. When she called him by an
old boyisn nickname he stared IN
surprise and then knew her to be his
sister.

A dispatch from Havanasays
a duel was fought Sunday by Col.
Orestes Ferrera, president of the
House of Representatives, and Senor
Monleon, representative, as the out
come of sharp words, which were eX-

men in the House. Rapiers were
used, and both Col. Ferrera and Sc

whereupon honor was satisfied.
The encounter followed a chal-

sequence of alleged offensive express

floor of the House, when he accused
the Speaker OF lack Of respect to the
members of the House.

TIGERS" TO VOTE
CHARLESTON AUTHORITIES AR
RESTING ILLEGAL SELLERS.
Injunctions Against Unlawful Traffic
Are Disregarded or Evaded.
Unique Situation in 1.-THE City"


1t was learned Saturday that the
magistrates of Charleston will is
sue warrants OF Monday for the al
rest of a mum Der of blind tigers with
the purpose in view Of binding then,
over to the court of general ses-
sions. This is in accord with the
strong protest which the grand jury
made few weeks ago on the meth
DDS of the operation of the dispen-
sary law in Charleston.
The blind tigers are now lining
up with the prohibition followers in
Charleston.
They make no secret of their opin-
ion that with prohibition they will
be able to operate just as they please
and that the city will not be able
to reach them, even to the extent of
fining them periodically, as is done,
and thus collecting from them some
revenue for what their unlawful bus
mess takes away from the sales of
the dispensary.
The authorities are probably be-
ginning to see the error Of their
ways now and the law will probably
be applied to the tigers. With the
arrest of the blind tigers and COM
mitment for trial, things will be
lively in Charleston, for the tigers
have not been disturbed by such pro-
cess of law in many years. The ac-
ton will strengthen the hands of
the State authorities and allow for
the placing of few more dealers
in Jail on contempt proceedings. for
some of the enjoined people seem to
think the supreme court proceedings
sort of a joke and pay no regard
70 the orders, their establishments
running now as before, simply with
change of the nominal proprietor
and the place of business to somp
other stand in the immediate neign-
borhood Of former operation.

The Fourth was spent quietly at the
Walkers. Mrs. Walker drrotinG the
whole day to Miss Co!ingwood. whom
she regarded as the savior of her
chi!d's life. while Walker took Trow-
bridge out for long ride in his new
automobile. Chester sat alone on the
piazza in the evening. when he heard
his name called softly.
He rose and was about to enter the
house through the front door when he
heard again:
"Mr. Trowbridge. won't you please
come In here for moment?"
Where is here" he asked.
"In the library"
He quickly entered the room through
the window and saw the form of Miss
Collingwoud lying on the lounge. Her
face was partially concealed by band
age. She put out her hand as he ap.
preached. but when she saw his
swathed in bandages she gave low
cry.

Boy Falls From Second Story of School

West Blocton, December 2i.-(SpecialD At the West Blocton school yesterday afternoon Ernest Pope, 14-year-old boy, fell from a second-story window onto an icy porch roof and from there to the ground. fall of about 10 feet His right arm was painfully hurt, one of the bones in the forearm being broken about two inches from the wrist. He received medical attention at once.
 The superiority of the well-paved streets is greatly apparent during this icy spell, for they are more largely pa tronized than the sidewalks Everything has been under coat of ice for three days, and boys and girls are enjoying coasting and sliding for the first time In several years.
 The Library club of the West Blocton school has fitted up a neat room for the use of the club in the school building. It was formerly a rough cloakroom, but the club has papered. painted and fur nished it. and with the help of their friends will have a room to be proud of.

MRS, HATTIE POPE
 GETS NEW TRIAL Convicted or Murder Of Her
 Mother In Chiffon ERROR IN TRIAL JURY Though Tried at Special Term lndict- ment Was Returned By Grand Jury Drawn For Regular
 Term of the Court.

Mrs. Hattie Pope, tried and convicted in Chiffon county for the murder of her own mother and given a life sentence, has been granted a new trial by the supreme court in ruling handed down today. The error found to he reversible was that though tried at special term of the court the indictment was returned by a grand jury drawn for a regular term.
 There is no showing that the verdict was not just one, nor that the jury of 12 that sifted the evidence did not give the prisoner all that she had con- ing to her in the way of protection; just
