Very Gruesome Souvenir.

Postcards have been received in
this city showing the negro, Jackson,
hanging from a telegraph pole at
Honea Path by one foot. Jackson
was strung up in this manner and
shot to death by a mob at Honea
Path after being chased and finally
captured between Greenville and
Spartanburg.
The photograph shows plainly the
marks of bullets and shot on the
body of the negro and also on the
telegraph pole. He is hanging by
one foot. The other leg swings out
at a right angle from his body. The
coat hangs down, leaving the body
from the waist line up Cor DOWN
bare.
The face is plainly visible and the
features are shown distinctly. The
picture is a gruesome one, especially
since it is so clear and distinct

SALADS FROM WAYSIDE
MANY WILD DELIcAcIEs WHICH
HOUSEWIVES CAN USE.
pandellon Has First Place Among
Such oreens-Sorrel Makes Dell.
elous Soups and May Be
Served In Other Ways.

There is goodly supply of delica
cies In the hedges, which the French
housewife In her wisdom uses for hel
health's sake In salads. Foremost
among the wild greens Is dandelion
valuable medicine for the liver.
Cooked alone 1t is good, but its bit
ter flavor may be mitigated by min
Cling 1t with spinach.
Dandelion salad is extremely whole
some. Take the young and tender
green leaves Of the plant and wash
them thoroughly with cold water, but
do not braise the leaves. Lay them
In glass dish, and pour over two
tablespoonfuls of olive oil, one table,
spoonful Of lemon Juice, pepper. salt,
and sugar to taste.
Little early shoots Of corn, cooked
or served as a salad, are another
much appreciated delicacy.
Sorrel, too. Both the French and
Germans make delicious soups, sal
ads and other dishes of the vegetable,
the fresh acid Of which is wholesome
on languid days Gather a few hand
fuls and cook 1t as you would cook a
PURGE of spinach, and serve 1t as a
relish with roast beef instead of
horseradish sauce, or with lamb in
stead of mint sauce.
Sorrel makes a good addition to
spinach. II you use three-uuarters
spinach and one-quarter sorrel.
In cooking these acid herbs and
greenstuffs a porcelain vessel must
be used, and not a metal one.
Nettle tops may be treated with ad-
vantage in just the same way.
A few leaves Of sorrel added to any
salad improves its flavor, but when
ever you use sorrel In salad mix less
vinegar than usual with the dressing,
as the acid in sorrel Is well nigh sufl-
cient.
For a watercress salad the follow
ing is food lillian receipt:
Wash three or four punches of wa
tercress and drain them, slice four
or five cold boiled potatoes very thin,
and mix with the following sauce:
-Four tablespoonfuls Of oil, half q
tablespoonful Of vinegar, salt and
black pepper to taste, one shallot
minced up fine, half a pinch of cay
enne and half tablespoonful of
sugar.
Sorrel may likewise be made into a
PURGE either with a meat stock or
maigre, and is delicious If stewed.
Boil some cleaned sorrel until tender
and rub through sieve into a stew
pan. Add a tablespoonful of bechamel
sauce, little salt and vinegar. and
two ounces and half of fresh but

The bechamel sauce is made like
this: Mix three tablespoonfuls of but

teacupfuls Of white stock, pinch of
salt and grated nutmeg, and a bou!

HEART RIGHT.
When He Quit Coffee.

Life Insurance Companies will not
insure a man suffering from heart
trouble.
The reason is obvious.
This is a serious matter to the hus-
band or father who is solicitous for
the future Of his dear ones. Often
the heart trouble is caused by an I'm.
expected thing and can be corrected II
taken in time and properly treated. A
man in Colorado writes:
Il was great coffee drinker for
many years, and was not aware Of the
injurious effects of the habit till I
became a practical invalid, suffering
from heart trouble, indigestion and
nervousness to an extent that made
mo wretchedly miserable myself and
@ nuisance to those who witnessed my
sufferings.
II continued to drink coffee, how
ever, not suspecting that it was the
cause Of my ill-health, till on applying
for life insurance 1 was rejected on &C.
count of the trouble with my heart.
Then / became alarmed. l found that
leaving off coffee helped me quickly, SO
/ quit it altogether and having been
attracted by the advertisements Of
Postum l began its use.
THE change in my condition was re-
markable. All my ailments vanished.
My digestion was completely restored,
my nervousness disappeared, and,
most important of all, my heart stead
led down and became normal, and on
second examination l was accepted by
the Life Insurance Co. Quitting coffee
and using Postum worked the change"
