INTERESTING SPINSTER.
Gets 100000 if She Wins a Hus.
band.

In these days of suffragette agita-
ton it is surprising to hear of wo-
man who not only believed that wo-
mans place is to the management of
the home, but believed it so seriously
that it led her into the making Of a
most unusual will. Such, however,
was the case of Mrs. Henrietta Ere
und, who recently died in Germany,
leaving an estate of 100000. OF this
amount her foster daughter, Miss
Alma Naumann, formerly of Milwau-
kee, is to receive 100000 if she wins
husband, but if she fails to do so
she is to receive only the interest on
that amount. There have been many
wills that have forbidden young wo-
men to marry under the penalty of
losing their inheritance-and they
have frequently been ineffective; but
it is not often that one requires the
legatee to marry in order to come into
full possession of a bequest. And yet,
considering the decided views of the
testator, she made very fair condi-
tions.
Miss Naumann, indeed, occupies an
exceedingly enviable position. If she
prefers not to marry, she will receive
the income on the 100000, and can
go her independent way heart whole
and fancy free with the assurance
that the wolf will not threaten her
door. But. if she wishes to assume
the expense of husband, she can do
so and come into full possession of
the whole sum. Under the circum-
stances there is no doubt that great
many young men will feel a lively
interest in Miss Naumann. No one,
of course, would presume to give ad-
vice in such a case, but it will doubt
less occur to a good many people that
the certain income from 100000 is
likely to offer greater assurance of
worldly happiness than taking long
chance on the combination of new
husband and 100000 cash in hand.

Z. ID. G.. Meeting.

The members of the Z. D. c. Chap
ter were delightfully."- entertained at
their last meeting by Mrs. G. F. Bam-
berg. Inspite of the never-ceasing
showers that afternoon, about twen-
ty were present. The meeting was
held in honor of Jefferson Davis's
birthday, so the program was ar
ranged as a memorial to the presi-
dent of the confereracy.
After business matters had been
discussed, a pleasant social hour was
enjoyed. Delicious cream and angel
cake were served.
Letters have been sent out to all
patriotic citizens of Bamberg county,
asking their cooperation in the work
which the ladies of the town have
undertaken-the erection of monu-
ment to our Confederate dead. It is
believed and hoped that every man
will respond to this call, as no one
would like to feel that he had no part
in this grand and glorious undertak-
ing. Just think! If every man in
Bamberg county would give the small
amount of one dollar, the monument
would soon be a possibility. Whether
the harvest is abundant or the crop
falls short, surely one could spare so
much as that!

Democrats Define Issues.

Washington, July 2.-Defning the
issues on which it expects to con-
duct it's campaign this fall, the Demo-
cratic congressional committee is
sued it's final official pronunciamento
to-day since opening it's headquarters
in this city. 1t was signed by Rep
resentative Lloyd of Missouri, the
chairman, and sets forth that the is
sues will be:
The tariff and it's consequences; !;
the extravagant expenditures, wrong
doings of officials, graft that is shown
to exist in nearly every government
branch, and the autocratic ruling of
the majority party It is contend
ed that these will all be factors lin
bringing about Democratic victory
in November"
The committee announcement that
in addition to headquarters here, it
would open headquarters in Chicago
on August 1; that its subscription
book would be ready the latter part
of July, and that the committee will
wage a vigorous contest in a conf
dent viotoryin November.
That conditions generally are very
favorable to the Democrats is as
serted by the committee, which de-
clares that the work of the admins
tration and of congress during the
past two months improved Demo
cratic success The statement asserts
that no one need think there is a
hope of uniting the Republican fac
tions and that the Republican party
is seriously divided and must remain
so until after the November elec-
tions.

FARMERS ARE BLUE.
Incessant Rains Make Them Despair
of Good Cotton Crop.

Orangeburg, July 4.-The farmers
of this county are exceedingly blue
over the present. outlook for the crop
year? Incessant rains have been fall
ing for the past month and the crop
situation is becoming alarming.
The, corn crop has shown up well
and the farmers were boasting over
the happy prospects, but now it is be-
coming filled with sap and burning in
places because of excess rain.
The cotton is over one month be-
hind what it should be at this time
and under present conditions cannot
grow. At this time much plowing is
needed, fertilizer should be placed as
a second application, both cannot be
done at this wet season.

"A LADY AND A LAWYER"
Judge SAnoothes Ruff1ed Feelings OF
Modern Portia.

The only woman in part II of the
court of general sessions was Miss
Freda Thomas, a petite and girlish
Portia, who was defending George
Davis on the charge of burglary in
the third degree. Judge Grain, in
summing up, praised the young wo-
mans conduct of>the case, saying
that she had defended the prisoner
very ably.
The court room was filled to over
flowing by big panel of jurors, and
every spectator gazed with evident
curiosity at the slight figure of the
girl counsellor. She wore a turban
of black split straw garnished with a
bunch of cerise quills and clinging
black silk gown, which set of her
brilliant complexion to the greatest
advantage.
This was the second day of the
case, and the jury having become ac-
customed to listening to a girl coun-
sellor, and seeming to be far from
concerned as to the fate Of the de-
fendant, gazed out of the window, in
twelve directions with detached and
stony stares.
First, the petite Portia summed
up. Her voice made low and pleas
ant sound in the room for some time,
and then Assistant District Attorney
Wilmot took up the tale. He referr-
ed first to the fact that it was very
seldom that prisoner at the bar was
defended by a lady"
Il object exclaimed Miss Thomas
vehemently. Il object to any refec-
ton on my sex. 1 am lawyer"
You are both lady and law
yer" said Judge Grain, soothingly.-

Necessity of Air saths.

The conditions and conventions of our civilization demand frequent bath ing. Any one suspected of avoiding daily bath would quickly find himself persona non gr0ta in decent society. It is popularly supposed that frequent bathing is essential to health. This is quite untrue. Much of the benefit Ot- trbuted to the water is in reality due to the complete exposure of the skin 10 the air. The respiratory function of the skin is of high importance, and, although water may be dispensed with, closing the pores to air would result in speedy asphyxiatlon.-New York Medical Journal
