GIRLS WHO MAKE GOOD WIVES.
Dresses Costing Not Over 81 Worn
by Graduates.

The sweet girl graduate of Wash
ington Irving high school, New York
city, surprised and delighted the au-
dience by appearing before the foot
lights to receive their diplomas dress
ed'in gowns that cost only 81 apiece.
And the general opinion was that
Solomon, in all his glory, was not ar
rayed like one of them. That wise
old cynic declared that all is vanity,
and here was an aggregation OF
American beauties who had, for the
time at least, renounced vanity and
all the vain pomp and glory Of the
world. It would have been hard for
these young women to have ended
their school career in a more sensible
and praiseworthy way. They not only
dressed with uniform simplicity, but
declined to receive publicly the costly
flowers and presents that their
friends were anxious to press upon
them. Some Of the girls were wealthy
and could afford to wear costly
dresses, and their wealthy friends
could afford to send them flowers and
graduation gifts. The girl who sat
beside one Of them might have been
poor, with a cheap dress and receiv-
ing no gifts. Such things cause
heartburnings and discomfort. It was
most praiseworthy to decide for them
selves that all should dress alike
and none receive presents. 1t is al
most certain that these happy young
girls looked just as beautiful in their
simple gowns as they would have
looked in silk and satin. And thus
virtue is it's own reward. It is safe
to predict that the members of this
class will make mighty good wives.

At the home of the brides pa
rents, Weimer, Colleton county, S.
c., on June 22nd, 1910, Mr.. Chas. A.
Jones and Miss Annie Belle MCGOWAN
were united in the holy bonds OF
matrimony by Rev. A. B. Watson, of
Ehrhardt.
The bride is the youngest daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Flowers Nc
Gowan, and is young lady of rare
beauty, charming manner and great
amiability. She graduated from the
Carlisle Fitting School, of Bamberg,
where she made many friends, Of
both sexes, and ali ages:
The bridegroom is from Berkeley
county, and is young man of fine
character and good business qualifica-
tions.
The wedding was quiet affair,
only a few relatives and friends be-
ing present, but was beautiful in its
simplicity. The ceremony was per-
formed at high noon, an elegant and
abundant dinner was served, and the
bridal party left Immediately over
the Hampton & Brapchville Railroad
for Charleston and the Isle of Palms,
where they made short stay before
proceeding to their home in Berkeley
county.
The bride was handsomely gown
ed in Alice blue taffeta, trimmed in
velvet the same shade, and persian
banding, with hat to match, all of
which was wonderfully becoming to
her brunette style of beauty.
The old home, with it's broad
piazzas and spacious halls, noted for
years for its generous and unvarying
hospitality, looked very inviting on
this occasion with it's tasteful deco
rations of evergreen, ferns and blue
hydrangeas.
Every guest was made to feel at
home, good cheer and good natured
pleasantly prevailed, yet amidst it
all there was an undercurrent of sad
ness. that this home and community
were yielding to the care of another,
their fairest, brightest flower. -
Amid a shower of rice, with good
wishes, good-byes, and "God bless
you's" ringing in their ears, the hap
py pair were whisked away to the
waiting special" and were gone; 10
tread together the pathway of a new
life. May it prove thornless, flower
scented, rose-carpeted!

WILLIE ZEIGLER ACQUITTED.
Charged with the Murder of Ed
ward Evans.

Walterboro, July 9.-The court of
general sessions was taken up Fri
day in the trial of the case of Will
lie Zeigler, charged with killing Ed
ward Evans.
A party was given at Paul Hern-
don's, to which several of the young
people of the neighborhood were in
vited. Billie Evans was the banjo
player and was so intoxicated that he
said that he fell on the floor, and
was picked up by several of the boys
and taken out to the piazza. His
uncle, Edward Evans, went out to in
tercede for Billie, as he wished him
to play the banjo some more. The
following is an account Of the shoot
ing, as told DR.. Riddick Ackerman,
physician who attended the wounded
men, as a dying statement by Mr..
Evans: "Cleeland HERS and Willie
Zeigler were taking Billie Evans out
of the room and I went QUITO get them
to turn him loose so that he could
come back and play the banjo. Zieg-
ler turned Evans loose and shot me.
I then drew my razor to defend my
self and Zeigler shot me again. l
did not know what happened after
that" The wounded man lived about
two hours after he was shot. He was
"a years of age. Zeigler is young
man and is a guard on the county
chaingang.
The contention of the defendant in
this case was that Evans was drunk,
and advancing on him with a drawn
razor, slashed at him, that his coat
had been cut in two places by Evans,
and that he shot him in self-defense.
The jury, after remaining out about
half an hour, returned the verdict OF
not guilty.

Unpopular In England.

Daniel O'Connell had favorite
story of one Parsons, an Irish barris-
ter, who hated the whole tribe of at
torneys, and one day was approached
in the lobby of the Four Courts by an
attorney who was soliciting shilling
subscriptions to pay the burial fee OF
an attorney who had died in poverty
Parson offered the gentleman pound
note. "Oh, Mr.. Parsons" said the ap-
plicant, II do not want so much,
only ask a shilling from each contri-
butor. I have limited myself to that
and cannot really take more"
"Oh, take it, take it" said Parsons,
blandly.
"For Gods sake, my good sir, take
the pound, and while you are about it,
bury twenty of them"

Branchville's New Depot.

Branchville, July 1.-The entire
board Of railroad commissioners and
Mr.. J. w. Wassum, superintendent OF
the Southern Railway, were here
Wednesday to confer with the town
council in regard to the new passen.
ger station, either to be remodeled OF
reconstructed here. 1t seems that the
city fathers and the officials of the
road could not agree to any plans
and the matter then had to be sifted
by the commissioners After several
hours of work a plan was mapped
out, changing the. present dining
room nearer to the front of the pres
ent station, converting the present
dining room, by adding on another
building, into a waiting room and
ticket Office; removing the water tank
and pump house and all other OBJ
structions that mar the looks Of the
place.
1t seems that the railroad company
is anxious to do away with the ia
nous eating house here and build a
small lunch. counter, claiming that
it will serve all the purposes needed
by the travelling public, but the trav-
cling public are bitterly against such
a move, as well as the town people,
and are not going to stand for it;
the commissioners cooperate with
the town council in regard to the eat
ing house, claiming that if a person
is here for breakfast he does not want
a lunch, and if he is passing through
for supper certainly does not wish a
lunch. This eating house was estab-
lished about sixty years ago, and has
it's name we'll established for its ia
nous fried chicken and Edisto fresh

MOB LYNCHES WHITE MAN.
Victim Was Under Death Sentence
for killing Town Marshal.

Rayville, La, July 10.-Aroused
by the fact that an appeal to the SUI
preme court had been taken, follow
ing his condemnation to death here
Friday on the charge Of having muir
dered Town Marshal c. c. Chenault,
mob battered down the doors OF the
parish jail, at Rayville to-day, and
dragging j. D. Freeman, white man,
from his cell, hanged him on the same
spot where he had slain the marshal.
The fact that deep cash was found
in Freeman's throat led to the theory
that he had attempted suicide, proba-,
bly, with a piece of glass, when ne
heard the mob's approach.
The lynching occurred shortly after
2 o'clock this morning. Late Satur-
day afternoon an appeal to the su-
preme court in Freeman's behalf had
been granted.
This is the outcome of the ap-
peal was the note found pinned to
the dead mans clothing.
Freeman, who, was a blacksmith,
shot and killed Chenault three weeks
ago, when the latter attempted to ar
rest him for a minor offense.
The officer was one of the most
popular residents of this community
and feeling against his slayer was
intense.

A Bitter Dose for Mail Order Buyers.

There are six hundred farmers in
the northwest who have been given
a bitter dose which ought to cure
them of the mail order habit. 1t ap-
pears from an examination Of the
books of a catalogue house against
which bankruptcy proceedings recent
ly were instituted, that the concern is
Indebted to about 700 business men
and individuals. This large number
was astonishing to the Investigators
until they learned that most OF the
Individual creditors are farmers who
have paid in advance for goods which
have not been delivered.
There was a similar case in Michi-
gan some years ago and the courts
held that the claims of those who had
paid money in advance for goods
must take the same course as others
representing purchases of merchan-
disc by, or money loaned to, the cata-
logue house in the ordinary course OF
business. They could not be classed
as perferred claims. Presumably,
then, the six hundred farmers In the
northwest will receive no greater pro-
portion of their claims than ordinary
creditors and from present appearan-
ces this will be considerably short
of 100 cents on the dollar.
This case constitutes an object les,
son which dealers should not fail to
place before the farmers Of their re-
spective communities. The claims do
TO- represent money the farmers de-
posted with the house with the ex-
pectation of ordering goods in the fu-
ture. The most credulous farmers
would hardly do that, although many
have taken stock in various co-opera-
tive schemes and mail-order enter
prises, the promoters Of which have
glib tongues The claims represent
money sent with orders for goods, and
apparently the house became fnan.
cially embarrassed before the orders
were filled. This is likely to happen
to any concern. Hence the only safe
way to buy is to get the goods be-
fore paying for them, or at least to
get them Immediately after payment
has been made. This cannot be done
by one who buys from mail-order
concerns, many of which do not car
ry the great stocks they claim to car
ry, but often buy the goods after they
obtain the orders. If the catalogue
houses were really what they pre-
tend to be, failure to fill an order on
the day it is received would be q
rare exception to the rule. Prompt
service is the exception, hence every
patron who pays in advance runs the
risk of losing all or a large portion
of his money through the failure OF
the house to which it is paid, ere
the order is filled. OF course there
are some catalogue houses of great
financial strength, but none is proof
against unwise management. None
is exempt from failure when the con-
ditions are conductive to that result.

Perth Amboy evening news., 1910-11-01

John Larsen, of the Danish Soci-
able Athletic Club, won his wrestl-
ing match from Emil John ResseI,
of Matawan, last night IN the Audi
forum. He secured the FIRST fall in
ten minutes and ten seconds and af-
ter seven minutes and thirty-fve
more seconds of wrestling the South
Jerseyite gave up, complaining of
pains in his right shoulder.
George Forbes, the game little
Newark runner, bested AL. Raines,
of this city, in the ten mile relay
race that preceded the wrestling
bout. David Halbert and G. A. Sui
livan were a huge joke so far as
their part of the race was concerned.
David Halbert, representing the
Peerless A. c., of this city, ran four
teen laps and G. A. Sullivan, of
Prince Bay, S. l., relieved him, rum
ming but thirteen laps. After that
George Forbes pitched in and ran
the other eight miles and SEVENTY
one laps. He finished in exciting
style with Raines at his fright. se
The time according to the officials,
was fifty-three minutes and ten sec
onds, but it appeared to be slower
than that made when Queal ran
here last. Raines had the pole and
when within ten feet of the finish
tape he deliberately crossed the
track to the outside and practically
gave the Newarker the race. They
were making a terrific squirt at the
thine, Forbes defeating his man by
about three feet. The official time
given for the respective miles fol
lows: 4:40, 5:O5, Sis, $50, 5:45,
5:35, $40, $40, $50, 4:30.
The wrestling bout was one of the
