HOKE SMITH, HARMON AND
FRANCIS.

The death of John G. Carlisle leaves
four living members of the famous
second Cleveland cabinet. Olney of
Massachusetts takes no longer an act
i've part in public affairs. But Ohio
has elected Harmon governor once,
and seems likely to do it the second
time. Georgia seems about to give the
same honor the second time to Hoke
Smith. Francis is an avowed candi-
date for the senate.

Hoke Smith, Harmon and Francis
are lea lers of the progressive Demo

Missouri and Ohio the reactionaries

just as clearly drawn between the
forces of progress and those of reac-

HANDICAPPED
THIS IS THE CASE WITH MANY
GREENVILLE PEOPLE.

Too many Greenville citizens are
handicapped with bad back. The
unceasing pain causes constant misery,
making work a burden and STOPPING or
lifting an impossibility. The back
aches at night, preventing refreshing
rest and in the morning is stiff and
lame. Plasters and liniments may give
relief, but cannot reach the cause. To
eliminate the pains and aches you must
cure the kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kid
neys and cure them permanently.
The following statement should con
vince every Greenville reader of their
efficiency.
J. T. Rogers, 314 Fulton street,
Greenwood, Mississippi, says: "About
three years ago I was attacked by Sc
we're pains in my right side and across
my kidneys. I could not stoop or lift

from my bed. The kidney secretions
were highly colored and the passages

my trouble was caused by disordered
kidneys and procuring box of Doan g

restored my kidneys to a normal con

the big steamers stage plank, set at
the apron of the wharf, Billy, armed
with two loaded navy skies, took his
stand on the how and threatened to
kill anyone who attempted to board
her. He held them all at bay until
some of the crowd secured a skiff

of course, was unguarded. Then
she was set on fire; the mob cut the

through promotion, was under Jim
Kane on the old Alex Scott, Capt. Bob
Riley He used to tell a STORY about
his ''f first boss' that seemed ridicu-
Ious. but no one dared to seriously lis
pute Billy. According to his graphic ac-
count, that he colored differently when
ever repeated, he said about as follows:
'EThe boat was lying at Prices Land

were brought safely aboard save ONE
who would not bulge to entreaty,
coaxing or force. The animal famed

it was led to the capstan, then the
slack was taken in and tension APP
piled by steam power, but several
times the line parted, while the mule

disgusted, for the captain charged IN
hot talk about the delay. Then the
mate took a fresh "chaw' of navy to-
bacco and letting down his braces, up
hill he started "hOt foot' for the
quadruped. They wrestled about for
a time until old man Price, who was
sitting at home, mistook the racket for
an earthquake and so recorded it in
his diary. Jim at last got a bulldog
grip ON the mules ears, gave his hur-
cuIean pull of renown and off came the
entire hide which he carried aboard
leaving the animals frame ashore" [
do not vouch for the truth of this
story.

Follow this advice.

Quaker Scotch Oats is the best of all
foods; it is also the cheapest. When
such men as Prof. Fisher of Yale Univer-
sity and Sir James Crichton Browne,
Ii. d. F. RS. of London spend the
best parts of their lives in studying
the great question of the nourishing
and strengthening qualities of different
foods, it is certain that their advice is
absolutely safe to follow.
Professor Fisher found In his ex-
periments for testing the strength and
endurance of athletes that the meat
eaters were exhausted long before the
men who were fed on such food as
Quaker Scotch Oats. The powers of
endurance of the non-meat eaters were
about eight times those of the meat
eaters.

eat it frequently. 50

This freight was taken aboard dur

from this effect, that some of the for

Black tulle or crisp maline is used to

startling gowns. and well does It per-

Pipings are always effective, and the

every conceivable tone are the materials
that lend themselves to a satisfactory
exploitation OF tailored lines.
These blouses are worn with the frnl

linen collar. That frill, by the way, is
so universally apparent that a few in
trepid ones predict swing OF the pen
dulum in favor of the covered throat.

Hat Strings

IN HEY must be worn with a certain
piquant smartness. or you will de-
- feat your purpose and bring down
upon your head the ridicule of those
who know. 1t is not to be denied that
there is a decided acceptance OF the
fashion for a certain type OF pictur-
esoue costume.
II would seem trite and unnecessary
TO suggest that hat strings belong to
the afternoon hat: but if the fact be
recognized that there are many crimes
against good taste committed in the
name Of fashion. it will be realized that
some facts must be reiterated.
The large fat hat is a beautiful model
upon which the hat strings can be
placed with impunity. The dropping
mushroom shape, with its quaint, old
fashioned garland OF silk roses, is an
other type that will carry the hat
strings.
OF velvet, silk or chiffon these may
be. Perhaps velvet holds first place,
giving a black contrast for the flower
trimmed shape. as 1t reaches from one
side under the chin rather faulty to
the other side, from which IL may hang
IN loops and ends.
Silk and chiffon, being more supple.
are treated in a different way. They
hang loosely. from the sides of the
shape, and are knotted and caught to
the corsage. Some models have the
bands tied at the back-a line that must
be oiscreetly adopted.
II IS needless TO say that beauty is
its own excuse for being" for the hat
does not rely upon the tied bands for
its security. Modern women will never
relinquish their hold on the yillainous
hatpin. So If you wish TO carry out a
note OF your costume that is an echo of
older times, and if your features are
suited 70 the style, tie your hat with
the bands.

Millinery Notes

n EILLINERS are not waiting for the
MI acceptance OF new coiffures. but
At4 are going gayly on their way,
producing hats Of interesting variety.
Some Of them are charming, quaint:
line, and the rest are wonderfully beau
tiful in line and color.
There are some hats that reach down
70 the eyebrows, with trimming sloping
abruptly toward the back, giving an un-
becoming. top-heavy appearance that
few women can successfully stand. On
the very tall and slim they are gro
tesque. which is putting it mildly.
So many becoming shapes are at hand
that It Is a pity to encourage the
freahsh. There are soft straw toques
for travelling, including the draped
rajah turbans. the folded capotes and
the closely fitted shapes with high roll
ing brims at the side. Many of these
are OF plaid straw, or Of a fortunate
combination OF two tones that every
woman loves.
Leghorns with velvet ribbon and
masses Of flowers for trimming are well
adapted for afternoon wear. II a sim
pier type is preferred, the large, fine
straws. with beauty Of line and
few large hatpins. are extremely chic.
The huge black hat, with it's bow OF
tulle or lace. Will look well with any
gown; though there bids fair to be
wholesale adoption of the pretty things
that usually results in discarding the
mode.
Probably the cheering thought in this
seasons millinery is the fact that the
range is wide, and the opportunity never
was greater for a freedom OF choice.
