JUDICIAL. OPINION ON GRAFT
JUDGE SAYS COMNIERCIALISNI
PUTS PATRIOTISM TO REAR.
No Public Work Without Graft, He
Says. People Expect 1t, and
Count 1t i'm Cost,

TROY, N. Y.-"The age of patriot
ism has yielded to the age of COM
mercialism. Uppermost in the hui
man mind today is not the stars and
stripes, but the dollar mark
Such was the declaration of Su-
preme Court Justice Wesley o. Hoy
ard in an opinion today reducing the
compensation of members of a COM
mission appointed to appraise dam
ages to property resulting from the
construction of the Ashokan reser
voir in Ulster county, which is to
furnish water supply for New York
city.
while the commissions furnish
avenues for the reckless escape of
nels of leakage and waste fully as
appalling" said Justice Howard
ut is greatly to be regretted that
no public enterprise can be project
ed and contaminated without this APP
palling loss called graft Graft is
not necessarily an illegal expenditure
of money but it is that unnecessary
wasteful use which characterizes the
construction of every public venture.
At least 40 per cent. of all the money
appropriated for public use is lost in
graft. All things could be possible
if this frightful leak could be stopped
roads, canals, Libraries, asylums
and hospitals.
Graft is product of our times
and institutions. 1t is the people
who are responsible. They expect
graft, and even spoil and booty, to
deplete their resources whenever any
great undertaking is ventured by
them; and they look with compla
cence and federation and Indifference
at ravages upon their property.
Graft is as much an element to be
reckoned with in computing the cost
of a public structure as is cement or
lumber. 1t has come to be a matter
of course this rake off-a loss rec
ognized by all who make estimates of
cost in such cases. A public struct-
ure built honestly would be a freak. '

USE SEA ISLAND COTTON ONLY
Quitman Mill Only One in South Us
ing Nothing But Long Staple.

AAes AbNS 1ACAASS
The Atlantic and Gulf Mills will
soon enjoy the unique distinction of
being the only mill in the world locat-
ed in sea island cotton section and
using the long staple cotton exclu-
sively.
The mill is removing machinery
used for short staple cotton and re-
placing it with machines for working
the sea island cotton, the product to
be used in the manufacture of auto
mobile tires. This improvement is
being made at a cost of $4,000,
from which it may be judged the
mill finds the long staple product
most profitable to work The mill is
in most prosperous condition and
is an example of what other we'll
managed manufactures of various
sorts might do here.
As stated there is no other cotton
mill in the world using long staple
cotton exclusively that is located
where the cotton grows This change
in the mill ought to give Quitman a
tremendous advantage as a sea is
land market, and it has not been a
great sea island market heretofore
The mill will consume one hundred
bales of the long staple cotton every
week-Quitman Free Press.

HUMBER BUYS SUMTER FARM.
Stewart County Man Pays $4,000
For Spring Creek Place.

Twenty-six thousand dollars was
the consideration in the sale of the
Spring Greek plantation in Sumter
county to r. T. Humber of Stewart
county. The sale has been finally
effected, and Mr.. Humber adds a sec
ond plantation to his already large
farming interests in Sumter county
The Spring Greek plantation con-
sists of 1900 acres of fertile farm
ing lands, and is considered one of
the best cotton farms in this section
1t lies about sixteen miles east
of Americas, and formed part of the
well-known Johnston estate on Flint
river.
More than year ago Mr.. Humber
purchased for $4,000 a fine farm
adjoining the Spring Creek farm, and
he thus acquires about 5000 acres
of excellent lands in one of the best
farming sections of Sumter county
at cost of $4,000.

bodice should be worn or a soft batiste
of the corsets.
The frightening OF the skirt requires
the same careful judgment and con-
sideration IN the part of the mother
as proper corseting. A girl who shoots
up with surprising rapidity, requires
longer dresses at an earlier age than
the slow growing girl. The thought
lessness of the unobserving mother is
often the cause for much painful en-
barrassment and tears on the part of
the growing girl on account of the lack
of proper clothing BETTING her de-
velopment.
For everyday school dresses simple
frocks of serge, mohair or poplin are
sensible and good-looking and may b.
worn with a long, separate coat or &C.
c~asionaily a coat sweater when the
weather is sufficiently warm. There is
always a tendency for young girls to
prefer the separate shirtwaist and
skirt. 1t has a grown-up air about II
which makes a strong appeal, and is
really most useful made Of washable
ldLIlcAt bllh+ COltOD u llhcH LcAlQIcS.
Light-colored challis in dots or plain
colors are nice for this purpose as
this material launders we'll and can be
made without a foundation lining.
It Is almost superfluous to say that
school clothes. especially, should be in
quiet style and devoid Of applied gar
niture. A simple design In braid or
hand-embroidery Is always In good
taste and sufficient trimming on a
young girls dress. and there is moth
Ing prettier than the use OF a different
material as a trimming. For instance,
on a blue cashmere or serge dress one
could use two-inch wide bands of plaid
cashmere or silk, or dotted, striped or
Persian silk would be equally effective
and inexpensive. There is always a
right and wrong way to do things, and
this applies especially to the sewing
on of bands.
A very pretty and simple style for a
young girl Is the one-piece blouse with
sleeve and bodice cut In one, scanned
across the shoulder and down the out
side of the arm, in his way getting
free movement of the arms, which
the blouse with seamless shoulders
does not give. 1t ear be cut with high
neck and full length sleeves and worn
with a threee or f%our-piece skirt. A
circular skirt is never SO pretty for a
young girl as there Is always more or
less tendency toward sagging in a
skirt of this cut, and 1t Is more no.
ticeable in a short length than a long
er skirt.
Bands are applied In various ways.
The most attractive for a young girl
are the wide mes set on the skirt Just
above the knees to give the appear
ance Of an overskirt.

Donf Haze Mannerism

MO woman can preserve her beauty

to acquire certain m~annerisms or to
give them up IL she has already become
a slave to the tricks and habits that
SO manifestly mar her appearance.
The woman who is per%petually frown-

mere habit of brooding contemplation,
will see her forehead disfigured by two
upright lines. which in time will be-
come SO indelibly fixed that even mas
sage will not remove them.
Should these lines be the outcome of
a continual giving way to anger. the
Disagreement will spread to the cheeks
and the corners of the mouth. for no
emotion is SO destructive to beauty as
continual outbursts of passionate rage.
