AVOID CONTRASTS IN COLOR
Charm There 10 In
Simpiie lily.

Women, SPEAK generally, have
been very slow to realize the charm OF
simpllcit The inestimabfe value OF
a few grateful lines, and the wisdom
Of trusting rather to the carrying out
carefully of n good idea than to the
over liberation of several schemes
of decoration and contrasts of color,
in one and the same unfortunate gar
ment.
Most Of us have come across, now
and again, that weakminded and IT.
resolute individual who can never
leave well enough alone. and who adds
rosettes of velvet here and groups OF
buttons there, tucks and hounces,
frills and furSelows, until all the orig
inal grace and elegance of the gown
disappear entirely under a mass of ex
traneous and altogether unnecessary
adornment. To these more or less
meaningless trimmings. the great
French dressmakers have always been
strongly opposed, and 1t is really a
matter of congratulation that their
good influence in this respect should
be making itself felt at last, more es-
pecially as the beautiful fabrics which
have been prepared for the winter sea-
son, are 80 lovely in themselves as re-
CARDS both color and texture.

1t is In the finishing that they differ.
Little details of making and trimming

benefit. It was a singular feeling b.
experienced. Then promptly his
spendthrift brain became active. He
needed clothes-so did Mahafy-so
did his grandson; they must take a
larger house; he would buy himself a
man servant; these were pressing ne
cessities as he now viewed them.
Once again he reached for his hat;
the desire to rush off to Belle Plain
was overmastering.
II reckon I'd be justified In hiring
q conveyance from Pegloe,' he
thought, but Just here he had a saw
ing memory of his unfinished task;
that claimed precedence and he re-
sumed his pen.
An hour later Pegloe's black boy
presented himself to the judge. He
came bearing a gift, and the gift APP
propriately enough was a square case
bottle Of respectable size. The Judge
was greatly touched by this attention,
but be began by making a most tenn
perate use OF the tavern-keeper's Of
fering; then as the formidable docu-
ment he was preparing took shape un-
der his hand he more and more lost
that feeling OF Spartan fortitude
which had at first sustained him in
the presence of temptation. He wrote
and slipped In complete and quiet lux
ury, and when at last he had exhaust
ed the contents Of the bottle 1t oc-
cured to him that it would be only
proper personally to convey his thanks
to Pegioe. Perhaps he was not I'M
inspired In this by Interior hopes; IL
SO, they were richly rewarded. The
resources Of the City Tavern were
suddenly placed at his disposal. He
attributed this to q variety of causes
all good and sufficient, but the real
reason never suggested itself: indeed
1t was Of such a p%ertidious nature that
the Judge, open and generous.minded,
could not have grasped it.
by six O'Clock he was undeniably
drunk; at eight he was sounding still
deeper depths Of inebriety,- with only
the most confused memory of impend-
ing events; at ten he collapsed and
was borne upstairs by pegloe and his
black boy to a remote chamber In the
kitchen wing. Here he was undressed
and put to bed, and the tavern-keep-
or, making q bundle of his clothes, re-
tired from the room, locking the door
after him, and the judge was doubiy
a prisoner.
Rousing at last from q heavy,
dreamless sleep the judge was aware
of q faint impalpable light in his room,
the aghen light OF a dull October dawn.
He was aware, too, Of a feeling OF
profound depression. He knew this
was the aftermath of indulgence and
that he might look forward to forty
eight hours of utter misery OF soul,
and, grooming aloud, he closed his
eyes,. Sleep was the thing Ii he could
compass it. Instead, his memory
quickened. Something was to hap
pen at sun-up-he could not recall
what 1t was to be, though he distinct
ly remembered that Mahatry had
spoken of this very matter-Mahaffy,
tne1austere and impiacabie, the dis
embodied conscience whose fealty to
duty had somehow survived his own
spiritual ruin, so that he had become
a sort of moral sign-post, ever point
ing the way yet never going it him
self.
The Judge lay still and thought
deeply as the light intensified itself.

CHAPTER XXX.
Tho Judge Receives a Letter.

Tho Judge Receives a Letter.
After he had parted with Solomon
Mahafy the Judge applied himself
diligently to shaping that miracle
working document which he was pre-
pairing as In offset to whatever risk
he ran In meeting Fentress. As san
guine as he was sanguinary he conf
IDENTIFY expected to survive the en-
counter, yet it was we'll to provide for
a possible emergency-had he not his
~grandson's future to consider7 While
thus occupied he saw the afternoon
stage arrive and depart from before
the City Tavern.
Hail an hour later Mr.. Wesley, the
postmaster, came sauntering up the
street. In his hand he carried q let
ter.
"Howdy.' he drawled, from just be-
yond the Judges open door.
The Judge glanced up, his quill pen
poised aleft.
Good evening, sir; won't you step
inside and be seatedf" he asked gra-
ciousiy. His dealings with the United
States mail service were of the most
insignificant description, and in per-
sonaliy delivering a letter, II this was
what had brought him there, he felt
Mr.. Wesley had reached the limit OF
official courtesy and despatch.
well, SIR; 1t looks like you'd never
told US more than two-thirds OF the
TRUTH" said the postmaster. He sur
veyed the Judge %curiously.
Il am eompiimented by your opin-
ion OF my veraeity," responded that
gentleman promptly. "I consider two
thirds an enormously high per cent.
to have achieved"
There Is something in that, too,"
agreed Mr.. Wesley. "Who is Colonel
Slocum Price Turberville?"
The Judge started up from his
chair.

ing.
Well. here's q letter come in adj

What was It that Mahaffy had said
he was to do at sun-up? The very
hour accented his suspicious. Prob
ably 1t was 20 more than some cheer
less obligation to be met, or MahafTy
would not have been so concerned
about 1T. Eventually he decided to
refer everything to MahaTy. He

IN a shaking voice, but received no
answer.

have been the direction OF the shake

memhered Fentress and the meeting

must never happen againi" he told
himself remorseful1y.
He was wtde-awake now. Doubt
less Pegloe had put him to bed. Well.
that had been thoughtful of Pegioe-
he would not forget him-the City
Tavern should continue to enjoy his
patronage. 1t would be something for
Pegioe TO boast OF that Judge Slocum
Price TurberYiiIe always made his
place headquarters when in Raleigh.
Feeling that he had already conferred
wealth and distinction on the fortu-
nate Peeloe the judge thrust his fat
legs over the side of his bed and stood
erect. STOPPING he reached for his
clothes He confidently expected to
find them on ths floor, but his hand
merely swept an ~unearpeted waste.
The Judge was profoundly astonlshed.

Killed by Automobile.

Anderson, March 29.-Little Lilly
Mae Wright, the eight-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. P.
Wright, was run down and killed by
an automobile driven by Henry Will
liams, colored, at o'clock this even
ing. The child was in the act of STEP
ping into Mrs. Jno. Tate's automo-
bile, on West Whitner street, when
the car driven by the negro struck
her. She was picked up from un-
der the rear wheels and carried to
a drug store, where medical attention
was quickly had. An hour later she
was taken to her home on Market
street, and died at $3.50 o'clock. Be-
sides being fearfully gashed on the
head, the child suffered a broken
shoulder and her lungs were crushed.
Williams was arrested and is in the
city guard house. He claims that the
child ran from behind Mrs. Tate's
machine and that he did not see her
until she was struck. He claims that
he sounded an alarm as he approach
ed the automobile, but this is denied
by other persons who witnessed the
tragedy.
The little girl was an unusually
bright and loveable child and the ter
rible accident has cast a gloom over
Anderson. Mr.. Wright is chief elec-
trician for the Anderson cotton mills.
The machine driven by Williams is
owned by Jno. E. Peoples and was
occupied by Mrs. Peoples.

ry Registration Case. e..

Newberry, March 30.-An order
from Judge Thos. S. Sease, signed
at Abbeville, was filed with the clerk
of court here to-day, directing the
clerk and the old board of registra-
ton to turn over the books and rec
ords to the board recently appointed
by Gov. Blease. Mr.. Fred H. Domi-
nick, representing the Blease board,
appeared before Judge Sease yester-
day asking for the order. The old
board made no return to the rule to
show cause, and was not represented
at the hearing.
There was a return from the clerk
of court to the effect that the clerk
desired direction of the court as to
whom he should turn over the books.
While the clerk has received let
ter from the two members of the old
board stating they would withdraw
their contest, it was also stated in
the letter that they still thought they
constituted the legal board, and it
was thought best by counsel for the
new board to carry on the proceed
ings in the court.
The letter of the old board to the
clerk was not before Judge. Sease,

MAYOR GYLES IN FISTICUFF.
John Moseley and Aiken's Mayor
Have Difficulty on Streets.

Aiken, March 29.-In personal
difficulty on the streets of Aiken this
morning, blows were passed between
Mayor Herbert E. Gyles and Mr.. Jno.
Moseley, a prominent citizen.
The difficulty arose from an incl
dent of some days ago. 1t seems
that the chauffeur of Mr.. Moseiey
had been arrested for fast and reck'
less driving; the case was heard be-
fore Mayor Gyles, and fine of s.
imposed upon the driver of Mr.. Nose
ley's car. This morning it is stated
that Mr.. Moseley demanded a trial by
jury for the chauffeur, but this was
refused by the mayor. Mr.. Moseley
then became incensed, passed soma
warm remark, whereupon Mayor
Gyles placed him under arrest, de-
manding a bond. Bystanders say
that at the words '.consider yourself
under arrest" Mr.. Moseley struck
the mayor heavy blow with his
fist, and the fencing then became gen.
eral until ,bystanders rushed upon
the combatants and separated them.
Mr.. Moseley gave bond in the sum
of SIS for appearance at the police
court at such time as his case may
be called. The charge will be ere
sisting arrest

Verdict of $4,000.

Barnwell, S. c., March 29.-An-
other example of a South Carolina
jury's idea of wholesomenes5 in rem
dering verdicts in damage suits was
the result to-day in the court of COM
mon pleas here in the case of H. c..
Huggins against the Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad Company. Higgins,
who was an engineer on the road,
brought suit for $4,000 damages
for personal injuries, and was award
ed $4,000 in the verdict returned
this afternoon.
October 21, 1909, Higgins, was
driving an engine pulling freight
train between Sumter and Robbins.
He charges in his petition that, at
Robbins, the engine was temporarily
in charge of negro fireman by the
name of Peter Wilson, that Wilson
was incompetent and, when Higgins
was boarding the engine he fell off
and was run over by his own engine,
through the negligence and incompe-
tency of the fireman. He was: so
badly mashed and internally injured
that physicians have rendered the
opinion that he will never be able
to leave his bed.
When he was called to testify in
the hear''2c, of the suit here, at this
term of court, Higgins was brought
to the court house on cot, and,
during the progress Of his testimony,
stimulants were frequently admins
tered to keep him up.
The verdict for $4,000 is the
third largest ever rendered in a suit
in South Carolina, and the second
largest ever rendered in Barnwell
county. Last year, in the case Of
Menefee against the Southern Rail-
way Company, the jury returned
verdict for $4,000 for personal in
juries. Menefee was an engineer on
the Southern Road, who was serious
" injured in a wreck at Dent, just
above Columbia.
Following the publication of the
verdict in the Higgins case this af-
ternoon, attorneys for the Coast Line
served notice on the court that the
case will be appealed to the supreme
court

BOY KILLED AT CHESTER.
Gun was Discharged Accidentally
Following a Hunt.

Chester, March 28.-A negro boy,
aged 13 years, the son of Tom Ross,
was accidentally shot and died short
ly afterward Monday afternoon, by
another negro, aged 8 years, the son
of Salina Jackson, on the plantation
of John Lowry, three miles north of
Lowryville. The deceased, along with
several other boys, had been hunt
ing. When they came home the guns
were carelessly placed in the corner
of a room. The 8-year-old boy play
fully picked up one of the guns,
which happened to be loaded. Point
ing it at the 13-year- old negro, his
finger sought the trigger and he ig-
norantly pulled it, filling the former
with shot. The killing happened in
York county, just across the Chester
line, and the inquest was held by
Coroner Louthain, of York county.
The affair was found to be an acci-
dent.
