Engllshwomen's Looks.

The Englishwoman may not un.
reasonably claim to be the best look
ing woman in the world OF course,
she would not pretend for a mo-
ment that all the essentials of good
looks are in herpossession; but when
one comes to thiuk that the women
OF no other nation manage to give
such general satisfaction as English
women, they may, think, confidently
the largest proportion of good looks,
grace, and fascination to be found in
any daughter OF Eve all the world

RAILROADS
Are CRIPPLED
Storm Made Operation Very
Difficult.
ALL TRAINS DELAYED
Z :
Workmen Compelled to go
Without Sleep.
The Storm Which Began Sunday is
the Worst Which Has Occurred
in Years.
----u IFI

What in the estimation Of local
railroad men is the worst storm eX-
perienced in years so far as real
damage to equipment is concerned
was that which enveloped the state
Monday and has not abated. Very
happily the heavy sleet and rain
storm, which swept eastward all night
began to slacken its speed this morn
ing and moderate weather was ex-
perienced with a delightful fall Of
snow.
Every gang which the railroads
passing through Marion could bring
to the front were at work all day
Monday and today. The local inter-
locking men at this point were with
out sleep Sunday night, Monday and
until early this morning. were kept
busy attempting to keep the local
plant in order. In many instances the
trains were tagged through this point
although this is for the most part
prohibited on account Of the danger.
Wires were broken from the tele-
graph poles and I'm many instances
the poles also were torn down by the
weight OF the ice which had formed
sheets over the wires At Kepton
avenue, number of the wires broke
and became entangled with the in
coming trains, so that they were torn
for great distances. Extreme caution
was used in each instance by the
railroad men.
All of the trains coming into the
city today were late by several hours
Through traffice was very badly
hampered and danger was experienced
by all of the railroad workers. Not
only is the railroad traffic inter
rupted but the local interurban and
street railway traffic tied up. With
the fall OF the snow today the condi.
tions were much improved.

This is so simple that It Is nearly

Is wrapped I'm the clay without hay-

cleaning knife. He IS not dressed,
and the only seasoning is pinch OF
salt placed in the mouth. When the
fish is done up in the clay the pack

camp fire to bake. When 1t Is done
the clay is cracked open, and the
scales of the fish are found to be

have habit of cutting a long cash
along each side of the dorsal fin and
inserting a slice or fat bacon. This
adds greatly to the flavor Of the fish
Another thing which makes the
fish so fine in the woods Is that they
are generally cooked in a short time
after coming out of the water. The
cold streams keep the flesh firm and

Bale cf Cotton for Taft.

A bale of cotton! That was the
present made to President Taft by
the citizens of Greenville, S. c., and
although it was a miniature affair,
valuable only for a paper weight and
not for commercial purposes, it was
none the less appreciated by the
chief executive.
The presentation was made by
Representative Johnson, of South
Carolina, Democrat, who called at
the White House to talk over some
applications for appointments to fed
eral Offices with the president. The
chief executive expressed sincere
thanks for the little gift, and said he
would use it on his desk in his. pri-
vate office.
The president had a long confer
ence with Johnson about federal
patronage in the Palmetto State, and
after all it is highly probable that
the Democrats will have something
to say about who gets the govern
ment plums. Heretofore this has
been almost entirely in the hands of
John G. Capers, the Roosevelt
referee in this State.
Representative Johnson walked
over to the senate while that body
was in session., and presented to Sen
ator Smith a miniature bale of cot
ton, a present from the farmers of
Fairview, Greenville county.

ATTEMPTED HOLDUP.
Footpads Again Begin Operations In
Columbia. -,

F. H. Harman, a well known man
in business circles, of Columbia, had
an encounter with two footpads near
his home in North Columbia Satur-
! day night.
After closing his store Mr.. Har-
man and his 15-year-old son started
for home, and when they arrived
within a few yards of the gate two
men were observed leaning against
the fence. After they had passed
the men but a few. seconds they
heard a peremptory demand to
'hold up." They turned to see who
had addressed them when the de-
mand was repeated, and Mr.. Har.s
man found himself looking down the
black muzZle of six-shooter.
He was carrying bundle under
his arm, and instead of throwing up
his hands he dropped the bundle and
STOPPING made punching dive at
the footpad. Just as he stopped the
| would-be robber fired, the ball pass.
ing over Mr.. Harman's head. The
smoke and flash of the shot was di-
rectly in his face, but he escaped un-
hurt, and the rascals took to their
heels. E
Mr.. Harman at once teelphoned to
the penitentiary for assistance and
for two bloodhounds and offered q
reward of 500 to the officers il they
would succeed in capturing the rob-,
bers. After some delay two officers
with dogs were at the scene OF the
attempted robbery, but the tracks
had been crossed and covered by
pedestrians in the meantime and the
dogs were unable to take and follow
the scent. There was a report to the.
effect that they had followed the
tracks to a hand car on the Seaboard
tracks nearby.
Mr.. Harman is unable to say daf-;
nitely whether the men who attack
ed him were. white men or negroes:
but his impression is that they were
white. Both wore caps pulled down
over their faces and one appeared to-
have on overalls. The man who bred
the shot was of medium build, about,
the size and weight Of Mr.. Harman:
himself.
Mr.. Harman had no weapon, but:
the thug evidently thought he had
and that he was about to draw IL
when he made the feint and dived at
| the robber.
The men evidently had been lying
in wait for Mr.. Harman, as perhaDs
20 minutes previously Mr.. w. H.
Donnelly had passed two men, an-,
swering to their description, at the
same place, and had taken notice OF
| them. $s
Mr.. Harman says there could have
beer. no other intent than robbery,
as he knows of no per nal enemies
he could have. They doubtless AGs
ured that as the bank was closed
Saturday afternoon he would PROB
ably be taking home the days re-
ceipts of his business. The men are.
still at large.-The State.

"Old Timer" on Happiness.

Unwon it stands, but ever wooed
This mockery of light
That lures me forth to solitude
Where beauty seems the height.
Time was 1 dreamed some secret
stair
Might wind from tower to tower
And open on some purer air,
Where longing dwelt with power.
But now within my aging soul
The empty years bear fruit,
And teach me art is not the goal
So much as the pursuit.
-Stringer.
How true the above poem, not
only in art, but in all things. See
the young on pleasure bent-to-
days pleasure never satisfies, to-
morrow or next day or next week a
new round must be taken. The
height is not attained, so with the
/ man with his toddy taken to-day to
reach the top of hilarity, taken next
day because the bottom not the top
is reached. So with wealth /
ten thousand dollars says one, an
other wants one hundred thousand,
then Millions. but they do not sat
isfy and pursues other millions.
Some are so disappointed that sui
eide is the end. The politician, too,
shares the same fate if the news OF
the day be true as they come
through the mails. A president
shining on the temple of fame to-
day, next week torn and abused by
foes. So all along the line to the
janitor at the door, so the pursuit
after all is the glittering gem that
so dazzels the eyes of men that they
never gain the goal this side the
great divide, and few the names
emblazoned on the pinnacle of fame
that stand in letters of gold for the
weary wanderer of earth to behold.
Still men pursue various roads
that lead to the height only to find
bauble that soft breeze may
break, and the pursuit is all.
These thoughts come as the daily
papers are scanned, some beauty
longs for wealth, others the pleas
ures that riches bring. How sad,
when the end is gained, to fill a
suicides grave, as some do.
But come among the flowers and
see in them the beauty and fra
GRANGE, the bees humming, with the
song of birds by day and the twinkle
of the stars by night, there we learn
that the height is too far for earth
and will be only reached when we
return to the hand of Him who made
us. OLD TIMER.

Church Case in Court.

The row in the colored Baptist
church here has got into the courts
at last. Warrants were sworn out
before Magistrate H. D. Free last
week for Rev. J. H. Walker and A. j
Bennett, charging them with disturb
ing religious worship, the charge be-
ing. based on happenings at the
church several Sundays ago, of which
mention has already been made IN
this paper. The preliminary hear
ing was started last Friday after
noon, but only one witness, John
Green, was examined. The hearing
is to be resumed before Magistrate
Free to-day Wednesday,
Last Saturday H. NJ Graham, Esq.
appeared before Judge R. G. Watts
at Barnwell and secured an injunc'
ton against Walker and Bennett, re-
straining them from interfering in
any way with services at the church
and they are required to show cause
before him at Barnwell April 18th
why the Injunction should not be
made permanent.
We have heard that the whole
matter is in process of adjustment
but we have not been able to verify
this.
Just before going to press this
Wednesday morning we learn from
the attorneys representing both sides
that the matter will be settled. The
papers in the case have been prepar'
ed and will soon be signed. This lis a
very satisfactory ending of the mat
ter, and we are glad to report such
action.

NO STATE ENCAMPMENT.
Adjutant General Fears Money is
Not Sufficient.

Columbia. March 29.-It is quite
probable that none of the three
regiments of National Guard of this
State will go into encampment this
summer. Adjt. Gen. Boyd said to-
day that the matter had not been
finally determined, but from the
present financial aspect of the situa-
ton it loked as if it would be best
to call off the summer encampments
and devote the money that would
be spent on them to making pur-
chases that would be absolutely
necessary in order to have Federal
aid continue to the State after Janu-
ary next.
This State now gets about $7O,-
900 a year from the Federal govern
ment for the military and the adju-
tant generals Office does not want to
see this endangered. Gen. Boyd will
know in a week or SO whether there
will be money enough to hold the en-
campments.
A big item which the war depart
ment in a recent letter to the State
department says will be certainly
necessary in order for the troops of
this State to pass muster for a con-
tinuance of Federal aid next year, is
the equipment in overcoats for all OF
the men. These coats cost some
thing over SIG apiece. and it will
take $4,000 to provide this item.
The States appropriation this year
was only $4,000, and this was for
the maintenance of the companies.

Not Square to the South.

Washington, March 29.-In the
Senate to-day, Mr.. Elkins made an
attack upon the senate finance COM
mittee, declaring in effect that it was
dominated by New England and was
determined to prevent the South
from having representation in the
framing of the tariff. He comment
ed upon the fact that the Republican
members of the committee were pro-
ceeding without the aid of the
Democratic members, which, he said,
in view of the fact that the Republi-
can senators from the South had
been denied representation on the
committee, had the effect of abso-
lutely excluding the South from
the committees deliberations on the
tariff.
He said that three New England
members of the committee, together
with a few Republicans from other
sections, who sympathized with
them, were making the tariff, and
declared that he had been unable to
get hearing unless he would agree
to come in under the yoke.
Senators Money, Culberson and
Newlands also protested against the
exclusion of the minority. Senator
Bacon criticized the statement by
Senator Hale that the finance com
mittee was holding daily sessions
who referred to the fact that the
Democratic members of the commit
tee were excluded.
Senator Elkins continuing, COM
plimented Southern statesmen on
their protests and declared himself
in league with them. To make his
position more forcible several sena-
tors from the South asked questions
of Mr.. Elkins Mr.. Hale sought to
answer some of these.
There you have it," said Mr.. Ell
kins. "You can see what close cor
poration this New England crowd
is. Speak of one of their interests
and some New England representa-
tive comes to his feet. Speak OF
something in the interest of the
South and New England comes to
his feet just the same"
Mr.. Bacon presented resolution
directing all hearings and examina-
ton of witnesses by the finance com
mittee, or majority of members
thereof, to be open to all members
of the senate. This resolution went
oupr
