SILK SOCKS SLOW PAY.
Some Observations of New York
Business Woman.


Ware of the man with silk ho-
siery," says New York business
woman. This does not mean that it
is immoral to wear silk stockings,
but that the man who has them
mended is apt to be bad pay. The
business woman is professional
member and she has had experience.
THE only bills 1 have ever lost
have been for darning mems stock
ings," she says. lone Of them was
unkind enough to die and leave AZ
pairs of silk hosiery on my hands.
He might have paid but apparently
from appearance he would not II 1e
had lived The stockings had come
in in two lots, and sent them over
to the smart club, the address of the
owner, C. o. D. My man came back
looking crestfallen.
lilies gone and died, ma'am,' he
said.
1--WE sent to the business address
of the silk hosiery Wearer, but they
said they were holding everything
he had for unpaid bills; there was
a great pile of mail which they sus-
pected contained more bills, and
they didn't care to take our stock
ings for assets. Living we'll, that
man had to be buried by the city.
We didn't know what to do with the
stockings at first, but finally the
lawyer said, Give them away if you
know anyone whom they will do
good
"That was our little charity. We
gave them to a body of Italian stu
dents in the city, and they were the
happiest boys you ever saw, and
would have liked to walk on their
heads if they could, to show their
beautiful RED, green, blue and purple
silk hosiery.
Another s5 bill for darning other
silk stockings that we lost was really
our own fault, and that may come
back to us yet. We delivered the
stockings one day, and the bill was
mailed the next. In the meantime
the man, who had asked to have the
bill with the stockings, had left the
city. The bill followed him all over
the United States. In zigzag fash
ion it went across the continent to
California and was returned to us
from San Francisco, curious affair,
covered with postmarks and address
es, but marked, finally, from the last
hotel:
"'Left for trip around the
world That money may get around
the world to us yet but we have lost
many other bills where hotel ad-
dress is given; the owner of the
hosiery will not be in, the amount
due being small, the stockings will
be left, and the men travelling sales

Bossy Got Tipsy.

Washington, Aug. 8.-The cow
with a jag is the latest discovery by
the department of agriculture.
A Virginia husbandman, alarmed
by the performance of an ordinarily
perfectly mild animal after MUNICH
ing a ration of ensilage, appealed to
the sharps in the department.
Investigation revealed that Bossy
had feasted on fermented corn stalks
and had simply gotten drunk on raw
bourbon whiskey-tkat was all.

In his campaign speech at Laurens
yesterday Governor Blease said he
was as we'll qualified for governor
as Ben Tillman Or anybody else and
that he did not need Tillmans en-
dorsement. He also paid a tribute
to w. J. Talbert and n. B. Dial, Till
mans opponents for the Senate.
From his remarks one would not
imagine that Blease will vote for
Tillman this year.

Many months ago this newspaper
warned the people against the pur-
pose of the railroads to dominate
South Carolina, and some newspa-
pers ridiculed the idea. Wonder
what they think about it now ?
Recent political happenings must
convince any one that We are in
grave danger of being absolutely con-
trolled by the railroads.

The people are sovereign and they
have a right to know what candl-
dates idea of just government is.
The candidate is asking for position
in that government to manage the
affairs of the voters, and the best
test of his ideas is what kind of gov
ernment he will vote for. We there
fore believe the voters are strictly
within their rights when they ask a
candidate for any Office who he fa-
yors for governor

MADE BOYS DRUNK.
White Man Faces Serious Charge in
Mayors Court at Aiken.


There has come to the attention of
the city authorities case, which il
allegations be true, is nothing short
of monstrous crime-almost helm
ous-and the person, if adjudged
guilty, should be taught a severe
lesson. The case was brought up
before the mayor at the regular
morning session yesterday Of the po-
lice court, but, on account Of the ab-
sence Of certain desirable witnesses,
was continued until this morning.
1t is alleged that earlier in the
week an obscure white man, giving
the name of Scott Boone and alleg-
ing residence in Garfield, Ca, pre-
vailed upon six or eight young lads
the oldest being only eleven to en-
ter barrel of whiskey at the freight
depot and extract for him consid-
cradle quantity of the liquid. Not
satisfied with this, it is further stated
that, in a maudlin condition, he pro-
ceeded to pour the foul stuff down
the throats of several of the inno-
cent, irresponsible youngsters and
sent them home to their respective
mamas in a condition bordering dan
gerously near to complete intoxica-
ton.
1t is rumored that the investiga-
ton into the case tomorrow will i'm
plicate other and older heads.-Ai-
ken Journal and Review.

SIX YEARS FOR FORGER.
Georgia Court Holds IT'S Wrong tc
Sign Fictitious Name to Check.

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 9.-The use of a
fictitious name does not save a forger
from prison in Georgia. Despite the
fact that lawyers argued that Geor-
gia has no law against man signing
fictitious names to checks so long as
he does not forge the name of real
person, Judge Ellis to-day decided
that A. R. Saffold must serve six
year term given him some time ago
by the superior court. He was
charged with getting money from
banks by signing fictitious names.

We understand that good many
people in this county are going to
vote for Peoples for attorney general,
many of them Jones men. Do they
want a man in the Office of attorney
general who believes in the Blease
idea of government? Mr.. Peoples
says he is supporting Blease.

1t never was expected that all the
people would agree about politics or
anything else, so don't fall out with
your neighbor and friend just be-
cause he does not see things as you
do. This is a free country, and every
man has a right to his opinion, al
though it seems some people would
deny others that privilege.

Judge Jones is a Christian gentle
man. one who reveres God and re-
spects the rights of his felloW-man.
His honorable public service as a
member of the State Supreme Court
for the past sixteen years is guar
antee that he will make a model
governor.

automobile this afternoon without
Throwing the same out of gear, and
