NO MONEY TO KISS When Homework Is Done by Hand In- stead of Machinery

From the Delineator.
 If women did not have so much work they could do their work. Nine-tenths of the women who employ servants need em- ploy none if they had to do no sweeping or dusting. clothes-washing. dish-wash- ing or ironing. If. they did their own work they could sCke the wages of their servants and the cost of boarding them. A modest estimate of the average ser wants wages is $2O a month. If girl Ia fed we'll her board at the present high cost of living, will amount to $20 month more. That makes s54O a year as the av- craze cost of keeping a servant. Keep ing a servant 20 years means kissing $10,- 800 good-by. The average family that keeps a servant 20 years has, at the end of that time, no money saved to kiss. The rest of the mans income went for food. rent, clothing and other things that are regarded as necessary. The $10,S00 that wasn't saved represented all that might have been saved.

 Friendship between the Catholic church and the Kaiser. who is a Protestant. seems to grow from day to day-so much so. indeed, that ecclecastics who suffered in the time of the Kulturkampf find 1t truly difficult to realize what a great change has occurred since 1873. In the Teutonic church of St. Maria dell Anlrns a further proof of the good will felt by Catholics towards William II. was given a few weeks ago, when Mgr. Doebbing, bishop of \Sutri, in presence of the Ger man Catholics of Rome, the ambassador of Austria and the ministers of Bavaria and Prussia, presided at the "te deum' in honor of the Emperors 50th birthday.
 On the German side cordial response was given the same evening at banquet offered by the Prussian minister to the German eccleslastics and diplomats of the city, at which the health of the Pope and William were drunk.

THE VOTE.BARTERERS.
Ohio Grand Jury Has Indicted 1888

An aged woman approached Judge
Blair. She had walked over many
miles of Adams county in an effort
to raise the money to pay fines
which had been assessed against her
aged husband and invalid son, both
of whom had been charged with SELL
ing their votes. She had been sue
cessful in raising only part of the
money and had walked from her
home, fifteen miles distant, to enter
a plea of guilty for each and with
the payment of her mite to ask the
remission of any other punishment.
Judge Blair suspended the fines in
the cases of both but disfranchised
them for five years.

FARMER LOSES BY FIRE.
Barn and Feedstuffs Supply Burned
Near Branchville.

Branchville, Dec. 31.-Mr. E. c.
Hunter, of this place, met heavy
loss this week when his barn and en-
tire supply of feedstuffs were burned.
The barn was located on his farm
about three miles from town. In it
was about $3.50 worth of feedstufs
and farm impements, while the build
ing was valued at $125. There was
no insurance.
On the evening of the burning a
tenant he had on the place had just
few hours before finished moving
his share of products from the barn.
And it was just about two hours af-
ter the negro left with his last load
that the barn was found to be af1re.
1t is not known how the fire origin
ated, but suspicion points very
strongly to the tenant as either do
ing it or having some knowledge Of
the incendiary.

It is stated in the daily papers
that Governor Ansel is busy packing

tive mansion. His term expires Jan

pleted four years of service. He will

Two new State officials went into

railroad commissioner to succeed
Jno. H. Earle, and Col. w. w. Moore,
who was appointed to fill the unex-
pired term of Adjutant General Boyd.
The railroad commission is now
composed of B. L. Caughman, Jno. G..

John P. Grace has announced his
candidacy for mayor of Charleston,
although the election is some time off.
There are already two candidates in
the field: E. w. Hughes and T. T..
Hyde, and the entry of Mr.. Grace
will tend to complicate the race.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Grace
ran for sheriff in Charleston several
years ago, and then ran for United
States Senator, being defeated in
both races. It is not likely that the
people of Charleston will elect him
mayor, although he undoubtedly has
a. following in the city.

Oklahoma City, Dec. 31.-Two
companies of State militia almost
got into action in the State capitol
removal fight to-day. Hearing that
Guthrie citizens had interferred with
the removal of three wagon loads OF
State records which were being taken
to a railroad station for shipment
here, Gov. Haskell ordered military
companies A and B Of Tulsa and
Chandler, respectively, to stand In
readiness to move to Guthrie.
A short time later the governor
learned over a telephone that Guth-
rie citizens would make no objections
to the removal of the records and no
further trouble is expected.

Death of Mrs. Jones.

Olar, January 3.-Last Thursday
morning at seven o'clock the angel OF
death claimed the pure and spotless
life of Clara Rizer Jones, wife of
Assistant Treasurer Edgar E. Jones,
of Walterboro, and youngest daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. I. N. Rizer, Of
Ashton. She passed away at the
Riverside Infirmary in Charleston a
few hours after a serious operation.
Mrs. Jones had been a great sufferer
for several months and it was ascer-
tanned that the only possibility Of
her recovery would be through the
work of a skillful surgeon. That she
might receive the necessary attention
she was taken to Charleston on Tues
day afternoon, accompanied by medi-
cal attendants and loved ones. The
noble little woman made a brave
fight, and the physicians and nurses
worked diligently, but all was in
vain-death won the victory.
Clara Rizer graduated at the Car
Isle Fitting School in 1908. She was
a student at this institution for three
scholastic years and there she won
the friendship of every student and
every teacher and all others with
whom she came in contact. Her class
was composed of twelve boys and
girls and she is the second one taken
from this number. Strange to say,
the causes of death in both cases
were somewhat similar.
On. January 1st, 1906, she became
the wife of Mr.. Edgar E. Jones, of
Walterboro. They lived happily to-
gether for nearly five years.
She leaves only one child, bright
little boy only three years of age.
What a great task it will be to raise
the little fellow without the tender
care of a loving mother!
It's hard for the aged father and
mother to part with their daughter,
but it is a great consolation to the
grjef-stricken couple that this part
ing is not forever. Yes, they will
meet their baby daughter on the
other shore.
Besides a mother, father, husband
and child, she leaves two brothers
and two sisters: Messrs. G. F. Rizer,
of Olar, and Marion Rizer, Of Ashton,
Mrs. M. M. Key and Miss Phoebe
Rizer, of Ashton, and host of rela-
tives and friends to mourn her un-
timely death.
The interment took place in the
cemetery at Wesley Chapel Methodist
church Friday afternoon. Rev. Henry
Canthen, of Walterboro, and Rev. A.
B. Watson, of Ehrhardt, conducted
the services.
God comfort the bereaved ones
during the sad hours of trouble.

AFFAIRS ABOUT WOUND UP.
Dispensary Commission Turns Over
$4,000 to State Treasurer.

Columbia, Dec. 29.-The dispen-
sary commission to-day turned over
$4,000 to the State treasurer. This
makes a total Of s460,000 which has
been collected by the commission
since organization three years ago,
from the various whiskey houses
which did business with the old State
dispensary. About this time last
year the sum Of $4,000 was turn
ed into the State treasury by the
commission.
To-day the commission held very
probably what will be its last meet
ing. At the meeting the final report
of the commission was prepared and
will be sent to the general assembly
for approval. It is thought that the
commission will be disbanded by the
legislature, as there is very little
more business to be attended to.
The money sent to the State treas
urer to-day represents the amount
that has been collected during the
present year by the commission on
overjudgments found against several
whiskey houses.
The members of the commission
are: DR.. w. J. Murray, Columbia,
chairman; Avery Patton, Greenville;
A. M. Wood, Gaffney; John McSween,
Timmonsville, and J. S. Brice, of
Yorkville.
The contents of the report of the
commission have not been announced.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS ROW
INJUNCTION PROCEEDINGS WILL
BE INSTITUTED HERE.
Said to be 1000 Policy Holders in
South Carolina Who are Vitally
Interested in Conclaye.

Columbia, Dec. 30.-Coincident
with the alleged attempt by the
Knights of Pythias to freeze OUT
the fourth-class policyholdew, those
insured in this class in every State
in the United States have organized
and are seeking remedy whereby
the order can be restrained from the
contemplated action.
1t is very probable that injunction
proceedings will be commenced in
South Carolina. There are approx
mately 1000 members Of this class
of the order in this State. An or
ganization for the fight has been per-
fected. Douglas Mckay of this city
is the legal representative of the pol
icyholders.
An executive committee composed
of S. w. Parham, Nc. Clarkson, and
S. L. Miller held a conference with
Assistant Attorney General DeBruhl
to-day. The committee was Informed
that the State was powerless to in
terfere.
Insurance Commissioner McMaster
has already given the opinion that his
department has no jurisdiction over
fraternal orders.
It is claimed by the members of
the fourth-class of the Knights of
Pythias that the order has placed a
prohibitory rate upon them. The
members Of this class are old men
who have been in the order for many
years. The head offices Of the Knights
of Pythias is located at Indianapolis,
Ind.
Statistics prepared by Insurance
Commissioner McMaster show that
on December 81, 1908, there was out
standing insurance in the fourth
class to the order amounting to $685.
461, 900. The assets in hand amount
Gu W p1,1o1,VVV.
On December 81, 1909, there were
1873 members Of the fourth-class
of the order. The insurance in force
amounted to s24,539,O00, or de-
crease Of over s25,000,oO0 over the
preceding year. This shows that
many of the fourth-class policy-hold-
ers dropped out during the year or
were transferred to the f1fth-class.
During the year 1909 there were
4S9 deaths in the fourth-class. The
losses amounted to s990,000. During
1909 the order received from the
fourth-class members $4,000. This
would indicate a losing business.
The assets in 1909, had dropped to
$509,000.
1t has been charged that the order
has placed prohibitory rate on
those in the fourth-class and that
this was done to "freeze the mem
bers out" Many of them have been
in the order for number of years
and have paid in large sums OF
money, it is said.
No definite plans have been adopt
ed by the fourth-class members in
this State, but it is thought that
within the next several days injunc-
ton proceedings will be brought in
the supreme court.
