The Rengo belt is constructed sci
entifically along practical lines and
is intended for medium and large
figures. They are the only corsets
which seem to accomplish the reduc-
tion of the hips and give a graceful,
long, sloping figure below the waist,
without lacing or strapping in an
uncomfortable manner. The Rengo
belt is new feature in tailoring.
Boned with double watch spring
steel, which is absolutely guaranteed
against rust. The reinforcing belt
worked over the hips and front of
corset is in Just the right space to
form the lines of latest style without
the least uncomfortable stiffness or
tightness.

VAR on DEAD BEATS.
Greenwood Merchants for Mutual Pro.
tection Issue Bulletin Mamma Them.

The Greenwood Merchants asso,
citation has just issued a quarterly
bulletin setting out the object Of the
organization, and it also contains a
list of the dead beats of that town.
In speaking of the first report the
Greenwood Journal says:
"The bulletin also contains list
of the parties against whom accounts
have been given to the association
for collection with the amounts an.
nexed.
This list is quite a long one and
serves as a good index as to the 6Ian'
cial standing of these parties. There
is likewise a list Of the accounts dis
posed of, showing those that have
been paid in full or in part. A mum.
be, of claims have been paid in full,
the total amounting to several hum
dred dollars. In some instances notes
have been given for the claims.
"We suppose that this bulletin
will be issued quarterly. 1t will serve
a good purpose to the members, en-
abling them to know whom to trust
and whom not to credit. 1t may also
serve as q stimulant to the fellow
who is slow and careless about meet

think that anyone would like to have
his name recorded in this document.
No one has any right to it except

If the merchants Of Williamsburg
would only come together and form
such an organization at Kingstree,
what an advantage it would be to
the trading public. 1t would enable
them to sell on closer margin and
the customer who deals fairly with
the merchants will be the one who
gets the benefit for acting squarely.

.HASTEFUL LUXURY
At NATIONAL CAPITOL
sH0w The PEOPLES MONEY Is SQUAN'
= DERED IN MARBLE PALACES and
ORIENTAL SPLEND0R.


The u S Senate is not consider
ably larger than it was in the days
of Charles Sumner, l. Q G Lamar,
Roscoe Conkling and Jas G Blaine.
One would suppose that Senate
rial luxurles which satisfied Matt
Carpenter, Dan VOORHEES,, William A
Clark and Leland P Stanford might
content the souls of Joe Bailey, Bill
Stone, John Daniel, Nelson Aldrich
and Steve Clay.
But no. Times have changed.
The marble palace which seemed
good in the eyes of Senators, twenty
years ago. is now too cramped, too
incommodious for the stately crea-
lures who fill the seats Of the
mighty. They needed more room'
better accommodations, surroundings
commensurate with their lofty ideals
of their own superlative Importance.
So they looked leisurely about
them and selected a nearby lot, and
upon this convenient spot began to
build another palatial edi6ce, to be
devoted entirely to Senatorial com.
fort dignity, pomposity and self
indulgence.
Our sympathies 60 out with tu-
multuous rush, toward the man who
would rather repose on the hearth.
rug, or door.mat, than to sleep in
the same bed with another man; but
we had not supposed that even a
u S Senator or Supreme Court
Judge, would demand a bath room
which no other mortal but himself
should use. However, we find that
we have much to learn. Our sen l.
ate is composed of less than a hun
dred demi.gods, yet these semi-celes-
tial creatures have spent four
million dollars Of our money, in
building for themselves a new home,
in which each Senatorial demi-god
is to have suite of magnificent
apartments, bathroom all to him.

than that Of any king, barber shops

by contrast discarded sawmill.
Four million dollars! That's a
pile of money isn't it? And it
came out of your pockets. No 9TH
er legislative body on this planet has
ever treated itself to such an outlay
for personal comfort. The work of
the Senate did not require such
building. The expense of construct
ing this marble palace and main
tanning it, adds nothing whatsoever
to the good Of the public service.
IL fact, Senator environed by
luxuries is not apt to be a worker.
Living like lord, with his exclus-
i've bathroom, and his exclusive
this, that and the other, he will nat
urally and inevitably become arlsto-
cratic in his views, as we'll as IN his
habits, and his votes in the Senate
will reflect the subtle change.
Democratic principles have every
thing to fear from Senators who
wrap themselves in Oriental seclu'
sion and luxury.
But they are not to blame. The
fault is yours. Sovereign power to
rule the country vas put into your
hands, and You have not used it to
good purposes.
You have neglected your duty.
You have not kept watch over your
representatives. You have not
called on them to account for ex-
travagance, or other wrong doing.
Hence they do what they please
