Home Coming In Anderson.

The Anderson Home Coming In point OF
members and interest vas a great success.
Thousands of visitors thronged the
streets Of the pretty city every day, Old
acquaintances were renewed, kinships re-
traced,9 cigars smoaked by the tens Of
thousands, and ice cream cones devoured
by the myriads.
But the flying machine diden't fly.
The traction company was put to it to
furnish transportation for the crowds bent
on sight seeing. Anderson stood up, hand
some and splendid in her Sunday best"
with a smile Of greeting for every son and
paynim in her realm for the week, and
made each feel athome.
But the Flying machine diden'ta fly.
Good humor pervaded the atmosphere.
There was no need of the "cop." A more
orderly or we'll behaved people could not
be found outside Of South Carolina. Ample
accommodations were made for all visitors
and all who took advantage Of the oppor-
tunity to 60 back Home or to see the beau
tiful city OF the Piedmont came away
pleased,
But the Flying machine diden't fly.
Great numbers Of people took advantage
Of the low rates to see the wonder Of the
age, the flying machine. The Flying ma
chine was a drawing card. The machine
was enscoused on the base ball grounds,
out at the park and many were the eyes
that looked over the huge tent In the
hopes that the bird might emerge its cage.
But the Flying machine diden't fly.
P. s. Yes, the flying machine did fly.
One who remains until Saturday evening
tells us that when she did fly she flew like
a bird-Saturday evening.

Better Service on the AbbeviIIe Branch.

Those who go abroad by way of the
Southern have a most agreeable surprise
in store for them. We have thought that
the Abbeville Branch road bed belonged to
the Rough Riders but it was not the bed
at all, it was the coach.
CAPTAIN Williams and his able lieutenant
Nj. B. Syfan have been ~hobnobbing with
the Superintendent with the result that
they now have q new car and the Abbeville
branch ride is so far from being'a bug bear
that it is a pleasure to ride thereon. The
journey has been cut half in>two, the tain
men wear a smile, the thresher Of by-gone
days is a thing of the past, the branch has
come into its own.

Gasoline Against Mules.

On last Saturday, near Greenwood, a
trial was made Of a twenty horse power
Gasoline Engine as the traction power for
scrape to the engine as is commonly done
with mules, two scrapes were hitched
tandem. The road over which the engine
worked was rough but the work done was
well done and was sufficient to prove to
the witness that the day Of the mule is
passed as traction power for road scrapes
In this country.
On enquiring of those who were engin
. eering the scrapes, about how many
mules would be required to pull the two
scrapes with the same ease with which the
engine did the work, they answered that
sixteen could not do the work as easy,
and as we'll and as fast.
One Gasoline Engine against sixteen
mules!
1t is time to give the poor old mule a
rest and let gasoline do the work. Hun
dreds Of miles Of roads in Abbeville county
could be worked with the engine, iu fact
the engine can work almost any road that
mules can work.
The County Board should investigate
this matter and il 1t Is a success in other
counties that have been useing 1t so long
they should introduce it here at once.
Abbeville county needs something more
than she has at present. II the Engine
will do the work let the supervisor buy
one at once and begin good road crusade
The engine can be bought for less than
half of what mules would cost that could
.dathe same work.
On rainy days, too, when mules are
eating corn at so much per. bushel the en-
CINE would consume nothing. II many
men are using these engins to pillow with
out in the ODD fields it does seem that the
County Board might ~investig ate the feas-
Utility Of running them along the public
highway to pull scrapes.
We must have good roads. All are in
favor of a three dollBr road tax next year
some states pay five and We ought to.
All are a unit as to making Abbeville u
ty roads at least the equal of the roads in
other counties.
We are going to do something if you
will back us up. (The 1--WE" stands for OIL
cial in the county, Give lie your hearty
support and encouragement and some
thing will soon be done to better the roads
in this the best county in every thing but
roads. .

Picnic at Cool Hollow.

Quite q number of Abbeville citizens at
tended the picnic at Cool Hollow last week
All returned well pleased with their trip
The picnic was held near the home of MI
Tucker who took much interest in the
affair and did much for the comfort of the
visitors. That particular neighborhood is
noted for its picnics. At Sunny Slope one
of the largest community picnics ever
held in the county was enjoyed by an i'm
mense crowd not many years ago.
At the picnic last week several candida
ties were present and speeches were made
by Messrs Graydon, Mars, Lomax, Gary,
and Moore. Melvin Ashley acted as chair
man of the Meeting and introduced the
speakers.
The meeting was harmonious. The
crowd was a most orderly one and no un-
toward circumstance arose to mar the
pleasure of the occasion, Which was thoro-
ughly enjoyed by every one present, both
young and old.

NEW FASHION FEATURES.
Number of Things that VIII Be Pom
ular for Fall and Winter.

For the fall and winter wardrobe Lady
Fashion has put her seal OF approval
upon the short coat and the scant. plain
skirt. She also favors, says the Wom-
ans Home Companion. the one-piece
coat dress for autumn wear and what
ever the color of the fabric she recon-
mends touch OF black in the way OF
satin cordiHgs or braid.
She likes the deep sailor collar and she
suggests trimming it with either fur or
MORE bands.
She says. lie: the high waist line be
the vogue and use shirrings wherever
you care to as a trimming"
She has nodded her head in favor of
the collarless neck, but she kindly saws.
Don't wear it if It is unbecoming."
Sleeves are long or short, according TO
the type OF gown. but always they are
small
The peasant waist with the sleeve cut
in one with the bodice continues to be
fashionable
Flat deep lingerie collars, decidedly
quaint looking, will be worn with many
OF the smartest autumn dresses.
The most modish evening wraps ara of
black chiffon over a brilliant color
Royal blue and black in combination are
much liked. All the wraps are cut on
slender lines.
The matching blouse of chiffon or mar
quisette continues 10 be the proper waist

worn on warm days without any dress
underneath. We illustrate one which
comes under the head Of real protec-

cheaper grades OF Bingham, OF calico or
OF the plain-color chambrays and the
Ike. The edges OF the collar may also
have a neat little edging or embroidery.

Bird Embroidery.

The new embroideries for the autumn
are worked on the tunic OF some ethe-
real fabric. The mode has again revived
OF embroidering some bold design OF
bird or insect on the gown composed
entirely OF silk or satin.
The flying stork is a design that is
extremely effective worked out in beads
OF appropriate tones.
Composed OF bleu de France satin
charmeuse. the stork embroidery IS
wrought chiefly in tones OF gray and
black beads with iridescent jewels gleam-
ing here and there
The embroidered bird. with out
stretched wings, is seen on the side
OF the gown as well as near the hem.
and the corsage OF fine black esprit net
over bleu de France chiffon has a
swathed band Of blue satin also en-
broidered in smaller swallows in blue,
gray and black beads.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
WEARING JEWELRY.
False Hair and False Jewels Are in
Bad Form. @

Bad Form.
This is not to be a lecture on the poor
taste OF wearing diamonds with shirt
waists and rare Jewels on the field.
The woman who is not convinced by
this time that such things are bad form
viii never learn.
IL concerns practice that only IN
recent years has assumed dangerous pro-
portions-the wearing OF paste jewels.
There is no doubt that French jewelry
is artistic and beautiful, but many women
now bedeck themselves In evening dress
with Partisan Jewelry that is such close
Imitation OF the real thing that there is
intent 10 deceive. The moment this oc-
ours bad taste creeps In. Frankness in
wearing Partisan tewelry is the one thing
that make il possible to the gentle
woman.
No matter II every one else does wear
paste, do not acquire the habit. False
hair and false Jewels are not lovely,
though every one wears them" nova
days.
This placid acceptance Of false stand
ards-something that would have been
impossible a generation ago-will un-
doubtedly lower the ideals OF what con-
stitutes a gentlewoman and the things
she permits herself TO wear.

The difficulty OF keeping ice water in
pitcher without a cover is overcome by
new ice Jug with detachable parts.
Well up near the top OF glass pitcher
is a narrow ledge on which rests lid
through the center OF which runs a hol-
low tube that extends almost TO the bot
tom of the pitcher. In this the fee is
placed and is covered by a glass stopper.
These parts are not only detachable. so
the pitcher can be easily cleaned. but
can be entirely removed and the jug used
as an, ordinary pitcher.
Besides the advantage OF keeping the
ice longer by protecting II from air, there
is no possibility Of dust, flies, and germs
getting into the water from careless COW
