For Fair Motorists

Several innovations have occurred
lately in connection with motoring

the veil. Now that the season is ad-

the shielding veil Is again called into
requisition- capital notion inaugu-
rated by a leading motoring house
shows the veil passed either side under
an ornamental slide or buckle. which
serves equally well whether the fore

or thrown back. Another equally prac-

New Gloves
For Old

I IKE everything else in life. there is
a right way and a wrong way even
in glove mending. II the unstitching is

how the other seams are sewed up. then
place the kid in its natural position.
the two raw edges quite close together
and. taking a very fine needle and silk
to match the color of the glove, go in
and out Of the original little holes. The
two last points are most important, as
the good or bad result Of glove mend
ing depends almost entirely on match
ing the color of the silk well with that
OF the glove and putting the needle in
exactly the same little holes The
stitch is an imitation of machine stitch
obtained by fine back stitch.
Certain makes OF gloves. instead of
having the two raw edges brought to-
gether. have one side hemIned over the
other and then stitched as the first one
described. with row Of back stitch
ing. leaving only one raw edge to be
seen. Most French gloves have two
raw edges brought together and finely
overstttched crossWays, and, although
this requires a little patience, the re-
suit is most satisfactory. First sew
over and over in slanting stitch, then
cross over each sIanting stitch. making
separate cross stitches, then finish by
pressing the work done under a row of
fine back stitching. quicker way of
doing this Is simply TO overcast in fine,
but really strong silk. as the exposed
nature OF the work makes IL wear out
very quickly.
The girl with long fingers should buy
her kid gloves carefully. An easy fit
ting glove means a glove which will
have a long life, while I'll fitting ones
comfortable. Fortunately glovemakers
OF the present day appreciate this as
much as we do. and II IS not only pos
sibIe for the long fingered girl to OBJ
tain comfortable gloves. but provision
IS made for short. fat fingers also.
However. whether gloves fit easily or
not. they invariably end by wearing
out at the finger tips.
II the tear IS a small one the hole
can be mended very neatly by catching
the two edges and buttonholing them
together on the wrong side of the
glove. Often the glove is badly worn
and all the fingers in bad condition.
II Is then better to just clip the tops
and hem the finger tips. II, however,
the tips are past menGfng turn the
gloves inside out and, after cutting the
tops on, work in close buttonhole

then decreasing until you can just

very neatly with crochet hook and
some strong silk or twist and. If well
done, looks exactly like the top of pat

well for kid gloves. but IS, however.

is that the more you try to mend the
tear the worse II becomes. In France
they mend them in this way; They
take a very fine needle indeed, the
finest that can be induced TO take the
silk through. and buttonhole the raw
edges all round. doing this very closely
and taking as little as possible of the
kid, but nevertheless sufficient 70 give
the stitches a firm hold When this

rows OF stitching. as this relieves the
tension caused by the original tear. It
may then be fastened off. and II the
silk with which the mending is done is

When buttons are lost 1t is a mistake
to replace them by others which will

and put new ones on. The seams of

IN SUIT BROUGHT BY W.

CAUSTIC AIKALI IN MIkL
Chemical Analysis of the Substance
Is Made by F. G. Smith, Who Pro-
nounces That It Contained Very
Fatal Poison.

Alex Alexander, negro was placed
on trial n the circuit court Friday
morning, charged with placing some
poison in some milk which belonged
to Brown Taylor. The negro was ar
rested last Christmas by Sheriff
Claude Goodwin, and in the prelimina-
ry hearing was bound over to court.
Frank G. Smith, prominent con-
sulting chemist, was placed on the
stand just before noon, and testified
that the poison which was in the
milk was caustic alkali, one of the
very fatal poisons. He made several
tests and chemical analysis Of the
substance, and all of them pointed to
the placing of concentrated I've in the
milk.
The poison was discovered in the
milk by its peculiar color, when a
part of it was thrown out. The re-
mainder was brought to DR.. J. G. Will
Hanson, Jr., in Columbia, who turned
it over to the chemist for analysis.
The other evidence introduced
showed that the negro had formerly
worked for Mr.. Taylor, but had been
discharged. He is said to have sworn
revenge, and circumstantial evidence
was introduced in an effort to show
that the poison had been put In the
milk by Alexander.
Witnesses for the defendant will
be introduced Friday afternoon.

announced that a new branch Of the
house would be opened at Lewisburg
at an early date. This will be third

in the wholesale grocery business in
Tennessee.
J. A. Sloan, the head of the J. A.
Sloan Company, was in Lewisburg
on Monday and made all of the ar
rangements for the opening of thu
store. 1t will be a complete estab.
lishment in every respect and will
serve large territory.
Only about eight years ago ]. A.
Sloan, a groceryman of almost a life
times experience, came to Columbia
and opened a wholesale grocery house
here. He afterwards organized the
]. A. Sloan company and opened
houses at Florence, Ala, and Fayette-
vile, Tenn. The business has pros
pered and grown by leaps and bounds.
Last January Mr.. Sloan organized
the Sloan Coffee and Spice Compa.
ny at Chattanooga and since that
time he has been devoting the great
er part of his time to the coffee and
spice business. He stated while here
Monday that he would make an ex.
hibit of his coffee at the coming Maui
ry county fair.
The announcement that the new
line of the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad would run through Lewis
burg, opening up a new territory,
moved Mr.. Sloan, with that display of
enterprise that is characteristic of
him, to establish the wholesale house
at that point. 1t viii be the first

In the bill that w. J. fowler, mem
Der of the board, but who is not made
a party to the bill, brought motion
before the board during its session
here, and as a result of the nIbtion
that J. w. Howard was assessed $780,
10000 as the value Of the stock own
ed by him in the Tennessee Fertilizer
Co., and assessed John H. Carpenter,
executor of the estate of VIM. J. How
ard $112,000.00 for the stock owned
by him as executor in the same cor
poration. 1t is claimed that attorneys
for Messrs. Howard and Carpenter ap-
peared before the board and showed
reasons why this assessment should
not be made, but the board ignored
and overruled their protest.
1t is claimed that the board has no
power to add to the assessment rolls
as delivered to them by the county
court clerk, nor to assess property
which has been omitted theref, ON.
They further declare that the rights
and powers of the board are set forth
In Section 80, Chapter COZ, of the acts
Of 1907.
They charge that the action of Mr..
fowler in bringing the motion before
the board was wholly unauthorized
and that ne did not have authority to
represent the county of Maury nor
the State of Tennessee in the
matter. They point out that the four
members of the board who are made
defendants in this suit were elected
by the county court, while Mr.. Tow
Ter was elected by the Board Of May
or and Aldermen of the City of Column
bia.
They claim that the board of equal
ization has only the power to increase
or diminish the valuation Of property
assessed in the lists, so as to make
them conform to the cash valuation
Of the property.
The complainants charge that they
have been assessed on all their taxa
