POINTING THE FINGER AT
WOMEN.

Forty years ago a man could live
comfortably on $1,000 a year. Under
the magic of the wife's hands this
$1,000 became $1,000 or $4,000. She
created as much value by industry in
the home as her husband did out OF
it. In her hands cloth became clothes.
flour bread. and fruits winter pre-
serves. Now all things are done out
side the house, and must be bought
With the 81 900 income. The wife
no longer contributes by creating
values, and, with the increased stand
ard of elaboration in dress, she is
often its chief burden-Prof. Patten.
OF the University Of Pennsylvania.
The prevailing high prices have
been made the occasion for numerous
direct and indirect attacks on the wo-
men Of the country. Archbishop Ire
land held that The women were in
different to their household duties
and instead of marketing in the good
old fashion used the telephone, took
what was sent them, and paid what
ever prices the dealers saw fit to
charge. Other critics have assert
ed that the women were too busy
with bridge Wrist to prevent waste
in the kitchen. Others have point
ed to extravaganza in dress on the
part of the women as one of the prime
causes of hard times to the husbands,
the growing tendency to conform to
style and not secure a reasonable
degree Of wear out of clothes. Others
but why continue in the long cate
CORY of accusations against the wo-
men. Away back in the Garden of
Eden Adam said to God: "The wo-
man whom Thou gayest to be with
me gave me of the tree and / did
eat" and ever since then mantle
stronger sex-has been pointing the
finger at woman with some similar
charge that on her the blame and the
responsibility rest.
Whenever there is a proper under
standing between husband and wife
it is safe to assert that there will be
no cause for such complaints. Wives
are pretty generally what their Inns
bands make them. With the rare
exceptions that arise from an abso-
lutely vicious training, the average
woman when she becomes a wife is
probably possessed of a strong will
ingness to assist her husband in his
finances, to promote his material well
fare, to use what he mas to the best
advantage. If the ordinary woman as
a wife We're acquainted with the ex-
act financial condition of her husband
if they planned and acted together
to the end that the best results pcs
sible might be obtained, it is quite
within the range of probabilities that
all grounds for such criticisms as

ANOTHER COTTON MILL THAT
PAID HANDSOMELY.

ceived as his share 5000, 900, Mr..
Br-wner's interest being only $751;
600.
This sale represents only a one-third
interest in the mill, which, was start
ed in 1884 on $4,000 capital, Kincaid
owning only $4,000 of the stock.
The stock of Capt. Kincaid amount
ing to 100000, was bought by Capt.
;. Grantland, H. w. Barnes. J. p.
Nichols and B. B. Blakely at par. The
stock of j. NJ Brawner, amounting
to $4,000, was bought by ]. P. Nj
ehols, Douglas Boyd and J. J. Mang-
ham, also at par.
This is but one of many items of
current interest tLht might be re-
produced as arguments for a cotton
mill in Americas. But perhaps it is
a waste of time and space.
The Griffin mills, it appears, be-
gan with capital of $4,000. From
the earnings the mills were gradually
increased until a third interest IN
them sold, as stated in the news item
above, for $4,000, making the value
OF the property at this time Sill. 900

original investment of $4,000.

THREAT FATAL TO FIANCE.
Man Snatches Carbolic Acid from
Sweetheart, Drinks it, Dies.

Philadelphia, Dec. 19.-Snatching
a goblet of carbolic acid from the
hands of his fiance as she stood
threatening suicide as the result OF
quarrel to-day, Charles Morback,
aged 80, drank the contents himself
and died few minutes later, accord
ing to the police who investigated
his death.
Mary A. Kalck, the fiance, the only
witness of the happening says she
did not see the man drink the acid
and doubted that he did.
Miss Kalck, suffering with acid
burns on face, hands and arms re-
fuses to believe that the man she
was to have married is dead. She
sobbingly insisted that he was en-
gagged in a grim make-believe in
answer to what was her mock threat
of suicide, Miss Kalck says she had
no intention of swallowing the acid
when she made her threat of suicide.
II thought it would give him shock
that would stop the continual quar-
relling that has made our engage
ment so unhappy" she said.

Property Increase is $4,000, 900.

Columbia, Dec. 17.-The sum ap-
rroximately s9,Oo0,O00 represents
the increase for all property in the
State for taxation according to re-
turns made to the Office of Comptroll-
er General Jones.
There was decrease of $2,189,678
in the value of personal property.
This decrease is attributed to the
low assessments of many of the banks
and the placing Of the cotton mills,
oil mills and fertilizer plants on a
basis of SO per cent. for taxation In
place of 60 per cent.
The total value of all property as
returned for taxation was $279,755,-
$40 as compared with s271,1o6,302
in 1909. There was an increase OF
s1O,613,014 in the value of real es-
tate. The real estate as returned for
the year was s147,051,422 as COM
pared with s136,43S,35s for 1909.
The assessed value of the personal
property in the State last year was
$92,664,198. For this year $780,
474,52O, or decrease of over ST.
100000. The railroad property was
returned this year at s42,229,4O7 as
compared with s42,203,946 last year.

Too much Bamberg money goes
away from home for articles which
could be bought at a lower price
from our. home merchants. AS long
as people do this sort of thing they
cannot expect the merchants of the
town to carry in stock certain lines
of goods. Too many people seem to
think an article is not good unless
bought in city, when the same
thing could be bought cheaper right
at home. We need to cultivate the
spirit Of buying at home.
