in Command of Fort Sumter.

Greenville, Nov. 20.-Col William
Butler died at his home here this

the outbreak Of the War Between the
Sections he resigned from the Uni
ted states army and entered that of
the Confederate States, in which he
rose to the rank OF colonel. He was
noted for his high sense of Justice,
his dignity of character and for his
coolness in danger. An incident H.
lustrating his GOODNESS is told Of him
during the time he was in command
or Fort Sumter. On one occasion he
noticed smoke pouring from a powder
magazine, when, without losing his
equinanimity for second, he called
one or his men and with him rushed
into the building, where they pre-
vented an explosion by throwing out
some burning rags which had been
set atire by sparks from a soldiers
pipe.
After the war he was engaged in
government work and as a planter.
While serving with the old army at
Fort Leavenworth, Kans., Col. But
Ter married Miss Eugenia Ransome,
OF North Carolina, sister Of Sena-
tor Ransome and OF Gen Robt. Ran
some. Three children survive him,
William Butler, of Norfolk, Va; Ray
mond p. Butler, of Savannah, and
Mrs. L.. b. Stone. Of Greenville.,
Col. Butler is the third brother of
this family to die within year, Dr..
r. +. Butler, Of Union, having died
only a short while ago, and Gen. NJ.
q. Butler having passed away within
the year.

UPHELD BY SUPREME COURT.
Decision u Victory for State in Caro-
lima GLASS Company Case.

Columbia, Nov. 17.--The dispen-
sary commission has won practically
every point in the Carolina Glass
case. The commission will retain
the sum Of $4,000, claimed to be
due the glass company by the county
dispensary boards, and which was
held up under the provisions Of the
act OF 1910. The Supreme Court to-
day gave a decision declaring the
act Of 1910 to be constitutional in
sofar as it turns over the dispensary
money to the commission, but uncon-
StitutiOnal insofar as it attempts to
confer judicial powers in, the dispen-
sary commission and create lien on
the >property OF the Carolina Glass
Company. The commission was sus-
NAned in finding that the glass COM
pany overcharged the State for more
than $51,0 The decision will not
affect the work OF the dispcnsary
commission. The opinion is by AS
sociate Justice Hydrick.
The decision of the Supreme Court
settles permanently the question as
to whether the commission has acted
wisely and justly in holding up and
collecting the several claims under
the act Of 1910.

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 19.-Myron
II. Crippen, the aged father Of DR..
Hawley II. Crippen, under sentence
OF death in London for the murder
OF his wife, died to-day in this city,
friendless and penniless. His death,
due to the infirmities OF age, was
fastened by grief over his sons
crime.
The elder Crippen was so years
old. Hawley Crippen, O. son Of DR..
Crippen, was with his grandfather
during the night, but left before
death came.
Dr.. Crippen was the sole support
of his father, and since the sons
flight from London with. Ethel Le-
ncvc, and his arrest in Canada some
months ago, no remittance had come.
Facing actual starvation, he was
saved by few porsons who knew
him. The landlady Of the rooming
house gave him room and a restau-
rantkeeper. at whose place he had
been accustomed to buy his meals,
supplied them free.

Saves an Iowa Mans life.

The very grave scemed to Iawn
before Robert Madsen, OF West Bur
lington, Iowa, when, after seven
weeks In the hospital, four Of the
best physicians gave him up. Then
was shown the marvellous curative
power of Electric Bitters. For, after
eight months Of frightful suffering
from liver trouble and yellow jaun-
dice, getting no help from other
remedies or doctors, five bottles OF
this matchless medicine completely
cured him. It's positively guaran-
teed for stomach, liver or kidney
troubles and never disappoints. Only
SOC. at all druggists.

"HERE is A vast difference IN
housekeeping and home-making
Il and there are SO many different
things that go to make up the latter
that in considering the subject one
hardly knows where to begin. But
Of the most important things that
have an influence on making an ideal
home, / believe that books and the
table are first and at the risk of
seeming tickle toward my best friends
(my books), I am sure the table is
first of these two.
1t is such a straight-along, three
times-a-day affair--it reminds me Of a
little story l read somewhere once
Of bride-elect who was rather SEN
timental in speaking Of her future
husband; she said. 81 wonder If he
would be brave in great moral cri-
SIS" Her more practical sister re-
piled: 1--WE have never had moral
crisis in our family, but we have to
eat three times a day. Does he eat
with his knife?'
And it is not so much the mere
eating and drinking of the family,
on which / fear we lay too much
stress, but the table is the social CEN
ter of the home and most women,
rightly I think, spend the greater
part of their time directly or indi-
rectly preparing it. 1t goes without
saying, of course, that one should be
pleasant and cheerful at the table.
A day started right at the breakfast
table generally stays right all day,
and vice-versa.
1t is not always easy, if there is a
large family especially, to have them
all pleasant at table, but this, like
most everything else in the home
rests largely with the mother. To be-
gin with. cheerfulness is contagious
The progressive farmer and southern farm gazette. (Starkville, Miss.) 1910-1920, 1910-09-03

and cheerful mother makes a cheer
full family, but a mother can use
other means to promote happiness
and good feeling at her table. A
pretty dining table with white cloth
and napkins. shining glass and sill
verware and pretty dishes is enough
to cure any family of a crouch, pro-
vided the meal thereon accords with
the table as 1t should. And such
things are not beyond the means of
any farmers wife though some may
think they are. White tablecloths
cost no more than colored ones, they
are easy to wash and iron and should
never be starched anyway A greasy
oil cloth on the dining table is an
abomination. Probably 1t saves work.
but / would rather leave out some
OF the frilled and starched clothes
that some OF us think it is necessary
to have and wash the tablecloths in
stead.
A pretty table and pretty meals
have way Of keeping the family on
their best behavior and encourage
good table manners which is a very
important thing. ! should be very
sorry to think that in after life a
child of mine would be embarrassed
by lack Of knowledge of table ETH
quette. BY having a certain amount
or formality about serving meals this
can be avoided. Also that futter of
nervousness over unexpected COM
pany. I have known some wives to
give their husbands a bad half-hour
because they asked friends to lunch
or dinner without telling them be-
forehand, but ! have always tried to
nave my table at its best every meal,
and extra company only means an
extra plate. And I never have best
things put away for company. NV
