This great modern fraternity was not made or organized-it happened. It was the result of the attraction of good fellows by other good fellows. That s the order Of Owls; it's the outgrowth of the best that was in men-the evo- lution of the hearts best emotions, be- cause we love, laugh and enjoy life, we help the sick. bury the dead, brighten dark moments and light up gloomy places. None are in Potter s Fields or poor houses-and none are hungry or suffering from want. They do good. speak kindly, shake hands warmly and respect the honor of their women. They are the order of Owls.

The convention went through a

Big Hats Come High.
l1ke
stipation

Washington, April 8.-Women' S
hats have been growing larger and
larger every year. They have also
been growing lighter and lighter in
weight. Now woman's hat weighs
less and takes up more room than
10 did years ago. A freight or an
express car will hold only tenth Of
the hats 1t once did, and the carriers
raised the rates. That is the answer
Of the railroads and express compa-
nies to the complaints Of the Millin-
cry Jobbers' Association, which was
heard before the Interstate Com
merce Commission yesterday. The
milliners say the rates are too high
and the carriers say the evolution Of
the headgear simply made them put
on the Increase.

PAT'TEN LOST "TWO BEERS"
Bull Says He is In Fight to Finish.
Not Considering Small Matters.

New York, April 7.-Although Jas.
A. Patten. of Chicago. Is quoted as
having said tha he was here for a
flight to a finish" In the cotton mar
ket, the expected activity on the Ex-
change was not in evidence to-day in
The early trading. In fact, 1t was a
day of calm. Neither the bulls nor
the bears made any show of fight,
but both sides were in arms, ready
for the combat. 1t was what the
traders call falling market"
II am here for q fight to finish
with McFadden," Mr.. Patten said to-
day, referring to Geo. II. McFadden,
the cotton operator.
"Is 1t true that you lost more than
$1,OO0,O00 in the recent slump?" he
was asked
make it s2,OOO,O00 If you want
to- he leplied. Losing $4,000, 900
In this sort Of fight is no more to
me than losing dime would be to
you. When man has as much cot
ton coming and going as | have, he
has no time to figure on how a
little fiuctuation in the price affects
his profits. 1t Is not worth while"

TILLNIAN TALKS AGAIN.
Roosevelt Has BambOOzled the Pub

Atlanta, April 8.--"All this hurrah
about Roosevelt and the manifest
effort to make him Presidential fac
tor irritates me SO that do not like
to discuss IT," said Senator Tillman,
as he was leaving for South Caro-
lima.
II think the idea Of Roosevelt be-
coming candidate for the Presi-
dency or an important factor In
strengthening out the Republican
party, Is absurd. In the first place,
Taft would be more than human If he
did not want vindication and Sec
Old term.
His alliance with Aldrich and the
money powers will insure him the
support of Wall street, whose cap
tains Of finance would give up mil
lions to encompass the defeat Of
Roosevelt. In the second place, the
idea of Roosevelt strengthening out
the Republican party is absurd
He is not SO clean and straight
himself. He has bamboozled the
public time and time again.
Roosevelt is the creation of the
newspapers and little else. They lent
themselves to his making in the
most remarkable manner this country
has ever known. No; ! do not think
Roosevelt can be resurrected. What
viii be his future? That is hard to
forecast. Doubtless he will have to
adjust himself to the difficulties of
private citizenship.
"Thi& will be hard, and It will be
pretty psychological st"dy for the
country to watch. But others have
had to tackle 1t, and why not Roose-
velt?"

FROM WINSTON, GEORGIA.

tor Keowee Courier: We are having
some fine weather in this section of
Georgia at present, and have had for
some time. The farmers are doing
all they can. Most Of them have
their corn planted and some have
already planted some cotton, but
most of them have just begun to pre-
pare their land for cotton.
This part OF Georgia IS rough and
rocky--the regular old flint rocks.
Some of the farmers have rock dams,
or breaks, as high as my head,
across the hollows. You can pick up
pile of rocks as big as house, al
most, and not get out of your tracks:
but you don't know how cotton does
grow OH these rocky places. Some OF
1T is so rocky that you can hardly
keep plow In the ground to get
enough dirt to cover up cotton seed,
and yet 1t will make bale to the
acre. What would 1t make If it was
plowed deep like some of the Wal

NELSON UNDESIRABLE GUEST.
Lost Suit Against Hotel OF Which
He Claimed Damages.

PHILADELPHIA, April S.-Battling
Nelson, the former light weight
champion OF the world, lost fight
to-day when he was knocked out in
three minutes by jury in the Uni
ted States Circuit Court, which de-
cided against him in his suit for
$4,000 damages against the Belle
vue-StratfOrd Hotel for refusing him
accommodations. The trial began
yesterday and 1t took the jury only
$50 seconds to find the verdict for
the hotel.
eM Nelson's managers registered the

year, and Nelson spent the night
there. When the hotel management
learned who their guest was, Nelson
was told that he would have 10 va
cate his room, as 1t had been previ-
ously engaged, and was further told
that the hotel was full.
Counsel for the hotel in examina-
tion told Nelson that he had per-
sistently violated the laws of some
States by fighting, and he replied that
they were boxing exhibitions.
Nelson admitted that he had en-
gagged in 100 hard battles.
Judge Holland in his charge to the
! jury said that if Nelson had violated
the laws OF any State which prohib-
tied prize fighting, then under the
law he was undesirable as Il guest

The Deadly Pistol.
(Lancaster News

(lLduCaSter NeWS.)
The terrible tragedy in which poor
Bethea Of this State met his death,
after fatally shooting the conductor
and porter on train near Whining
ton, Del, recently, was due to whis-
key and the concealed pitsol. How
long will this practice Of carrying
concealed deadly weapons continue
in South Carolina? How many more
victims will 60 down to bloody
graves and their slayers be turned
loose upon society before the public
conscience Is awakened? The law
forbids the carrying Of concealed
deadly weapons. Now, wont peace
officers see that 1t Is enforced. The
sentiment of the people should be
such that man woulG not dare run
the risk Of being caught with pis-
tol concealed about his person.

Why Always Ahlcvillc L?
(AnderSon Intelligencer.)


AS Is well known, 1t will not be
long before the aspirants for Office In
the various counties of this State will
go before the people seeking election
or reelection at the hands of the
dear pee-pul." Among the can1i-
dates will be those for Congress.
Among the candidates so far an
nounced for that Office we are frank
to say that, while 1t Is barely possi-
Bile that we have preference, or to
speak more correctly, a ,hoice be-
tween two evils. we nevertheless have
no candidate "to boost" Hence, as
the saying goes, we have mo axe to
grind"
Such a condidition is, indeed, for
tunate in more ways than one while
on the other hand we cannot fail to
notice at least one phase Of the situa-
tion. Abbeville has had the Con-
gresham for many, many years-in-
deed, as the lawyers say, from. the
time that the memory Of man run.
meth not to the contrary. The Hon.
ID. Wyatt Aiken represented the dis
trict for years. He was succeeded by
who also represented 1t for many
years, and who In turn was succeed
ed by the Hon. Wyatt Aiken. of Alb
beville, who Is the present incumbent.
He has for years represented the
district, and with what success. 1t is
for others than his satellites to say.
Now If we are not mistaken, this
Congressional District comprises the
counties Of Abbevllle, Anderson,
Pickens, Oconee, Newberry and
Greenwood-siX In all. Does 1t not
! appear little strange that all the
craftsmanship" or ability, should
be confined to the county Of Able
vile? Against that COUNT, we have
nothing to say. 1t has within its
confines many men of ability and in
tegrity. But, Is 1t not stretching the
matter a little to claim that all the
ability and integrity In the whole
Congressional District consisting of
six counties, Is confined to the county
Of Abbeville?
AS we said before, we have not only
no candidate for Congress in this
county, but from present indications,
this county will not present one. But
does 1t look like square deal to keep
the Representative from this district
from Abbeville county alone? With
out saying the slightest thing in dis
paragement Of Abbeyille county, we
think as a matter OF right, there
should be change. Turn about is
but fair play. Why not let some of
the other counties have at least the
honor and distinction of having
within lis confines, real liv. "mem-
ber' Of the Federal Congress-? They
are unique creations these days, to
say the least, and there can be but
little doubt that some of The other
counties would like to be possessed
of real one" just for the feeling
for at least one time.
