ShopId be Very Careful.

Many women want the marriage
service as used in some churches al
tered by leaving out such portions
that seem to indicate the inferiority
of women. Certainly such sentences
may well be dispensed with If they do
teach inequality Of position in the
home for the true home is that in
which the partnership is equal and all
the members Of the family living in
peace and love. But insofar as the
demand for revision may indicate
desire to loosen the marriage tie it is
to be deplored. The safety OF a ma
ton depends not upon wealth or
numbers but upon the family, for 1t
is the family and not the individual
that is the unit of society. Present
tendencies as to the home call for a
strengthening of family ties, not a
loosening, and we had better be very
careful about changing old customs
in the marriage rite. Women have
more to lose by the loosening of the
marriage tie than men, and for that
reason they should see to it that no
demand of theirs to change the mar
riase service will tend that way. 1t
makes very little difference to the
true man what the marriage service
NAV say, he will always treat his
wife with respect and the highest
consideration regardless Of it. After
all it depends upon the husband and
wife as to what the home will be.

MILE CHRISTINE DEAD.
Dual Formed Negress Who Has Been
Seen Here.

The News and Courier says appli-
cation was made Tuesday to Judge
Bryan for letters of administration
of the estate and effects of Millie
Christine, the dual formed negress,
who owned property in Charleston,
and who died recently in North Caro-
lima. Because the paper was not
signed by three witnesses, as requlr-
ed by the laws of South Carolina,
Judge Bryan refused to issue letters
Millie Christine was good exam
pie of two female individuals having
their bodies connected iIseparably
from birth, being joined by a thick
deshy ligament from the lower end
of the breast bone, so that they stood
in an oblique position to each other
It is said that Millie Christine died
leaving her property willed to her
sister. The sister,, however, died a
few hours later. Such was the death
Of the famous Siamese twins, Eng
and Cheng, who also lived in North
Carolina. Cheng died in 1874, while
his brother was asleep, and Eng died
a few hours later.
Millie Christine was we'll known
all over the country, having been
exhibited in every state and almost
every country in Europe. Judge
Bryan, in regard to the Millie Chris
tine will, has issued notice that the
kindred and creditors Of the deceas-
ed appear before ni,n on the SOth to
show cause why the said administra-
tior should not be granted.
At one time Mile Christine lived
in Colleton county just below
Branchville with her manager, a Mt
Smith. During one Of the carnivals
held by the city she was on exhibition
in this city, and was seen by thou
sands Of our people. She was very
affable and talked we'll.

Woman'S Best Friend.

The Sumter Herald says: 1--WE see
that the Clarendon medical associa-
tion is going to ask the women Of
that county to raise funds to be used
for the statue the medicine men of
the State wish to erect to the memory
of DR.. J. Marion Sims We hope
Clarendon women will refuse, and if
the Sumter doctors make a similar
request we hope the Sumter women
will refuse" The Herald is wrong.
DR.. J. .rion Sims devoted his talent
almost entirely to the relief Of wo-
men. By his discoveries numberless
women the world over were rescued
from a disease worse than death, and
restored to health and happiness. Of
all the people in the world, the ones
that should be most interested in
erecting a monument to Dr.. ]. Marion
Sims should be the women, for whom
the great surgeon did so much. No
more appropriate monument could be
erected than one by the women to
this great and good man.

Hope 1t Will Cure.

It is too soon to decide whether
the "cure"of DR.. Friedman is the
success it's discoverer claims or
whether it is fake as so loudly as
serted by it's detractors. One thing
is certain which is that it is a great
pity that professional Jealousy has
been aroused. The white plague is 50
destroying that every treatment for
it when advanced by reputable ply
sician should at least receive sympa-
thetic attention. To be sure, so many
advertised "cures" have proved
worthless that it is no wonder many
medical men have assumed a skepti-
cal attitude towards every one who
processes to have found a certain
remedy. But all the same such q
remedy will ultimately be found and
it is not at all impossible that to DR..
Friedman may fall the honor of
being the discoverer. Most certainly
it is to be hoped so for consumption
is the worst disease the white race
suffers. The next few weeks will
probably show whether the distin-
guished German physician is success
full or whether his treatment will be
numbered among the many that have
failed. In the meantime very pathet-
ic are the stories of consumptives
begging piteously that his serum may
be given them.

Wanted to Get Right.

Thomas Connolly twenty years ago
committed a burglary that nettea
him four hundred dollars. He OBJ
bed poor woman of her all, but his
sin weighed heavily on him. He was
seventy-two years of age, a ragged,
unkempt wanderer, when he died in
Chicago the other day on his way to
the County Hospital. Among his
Scanty effects was found letter to a
Catholic priest !:
For the love of God, father, find
Anna Jane Gallagher of Escabana, a
woman with brown hair" he wrote.
Il stole S400 and beautiful prayer
book. 1 sold the juelry and got
;ome goods and started to peddle,
nd l made money, and now / am
lying and l want to pay back this
money, for ! sold all her things
only the prayer book-and l saved it.
I want to get rite with God. Give
.icr the money sewn in my clothes"
His old faded clothes were exam
ined and nearly fourteen hundred
iollars was found sewed up in them.
A search was made for the woman
nd she was found in Escanaba and
few days later was given the money
by the Probate Judge of Cook County
20 whom it had been given. Besides
the amount he left to Anna Jane Gal
lagher Connolly had in the bank
twenty-five hundred dollars.
Connolly, the thief, wanted to get
right with God, and to do SO he
knew that he had to make restitu-
ton. This thing Of making restitu-
ton is hard thing to do, but no
one who has wronged another in any
way can ever get right with God until
he does. God will not pardon our
sins as long as we have in our pos
session that which does not belong to
US. whether We got it as Connolly
did or by shark practice or unfair
means, which may be regarded as
legal.

President Wilson Endorsed.

The first Endorsement Of President
Wilson's Administration comes from
Massachusetts, which is somewhat
significant. On Tuesday an election
was held in the thirteenth congress
sional district of that State to elect
a successor to Congressman Weeks
who had been elected to the United
States Senate to succeed Senator
Lodge. The voting resulted in the
election of John H. Mitchell, Demo
crat, who beat his Republican oppon'
ent over four thousand.
Last November the same district
elected John ". Weeks, Republican
by over two thousands plurality
There was a change Of several thou
sand votes from the Republicans to
the Democrats since the election In
November. In the district are sew
eral shoe factories, the Waltham
watch factory and many textile fac
tories, which employ thousands OF
men. President Wilson's Admins
tration and the tariff bill now before
Congress were the chief topics dis.
cussed in the campaign.
The returns show that both were
indorsed by the voters. This is en-
couraging, as it shows that the peo-
pie are disposed to give the Demo
Gratis a fair chance to work out their
policies. After the tariff is adopted
and put in operation the benefit to
the people will be so great from Ii
that We believe they will give the
Democrats a long lease of power. In
the meantime, all loyal Democrats
should hold up the hands OF the
President and the Democrats in Con-
gress in carrying out the promises
made at Baltimore.

NAY BE APPOINTED SOON.
The Attorney General May Pick the
District Attorney.

The Washington correspondent of
The State says Attorney General Nc
Reynolds Friday took up for consid-
Grafton the matter Of appointing a
successor to Ernest Cochran of South
Carolina as district attorney for that
State. The commission Of the latter
will expire February /, 1914, and
there is considerable interest shown
here in the question as to whether
Mr.. McReynolds will at this time ap-
point Francis H. Weston, who has
been recommended by Senator Smith
or William J. Thurmond, who has
the Endorsement Of Senator T1llman,
or will allow Mr.. Cochran 70 serve
out the remainder of his term.
The States correspondent heard
Friday morning that Mr.. McReynolds
was ready to take up the case Fri
day. Thereupon the matter was fol-
lowed up and it developed later on
that this was correct and that he had
asked some questions regarding the
matter, which might indicate that
action would be taken at an early
date. Mr.. McReynolds would make
no statement concerning the appoint
ment one way or the other, but there
is no doubt that he gave it serious
consideration.

HOLDS ALIENS TO RANSOM
Mexican Terrorizing Chihuahua /
His LawlesS Course.

A dispatch from Chihuahua, Mex
CO, says yacovio Herrera, with 400
followers, is terrorizing the country
near there by demanding ransom
from foreign residents. He declares
he is opposed especially to Americans.
According to advices Herrera S
band on Sunday entered the town OF
Naica and sacked stores and residen-
ces, taking prisoner Jose Boxio, an
Italian subject, Boxio was released
only after the payment OF s2,400.
Later the bandits entered the camp
of workingmen building the Conchos
river dam, demanding $4,000 under
threat of killing the English heads OF
the construction works. ]. W. Fui-
Ter the manner, refused and was tied
to a brace, which Herrera threatened
to send down the mountain. He w25
offered $1,000, but the bandit insist
ed that the sum be doubled, which
was done after much parleying.
Then the bandits looted the homes
of the foreign and American work
men, robbing the company stores OF
$1,000 in merchandise.

Died Not in Vain.

Quite frequently people who meet
death in some great disaster like
these of the great foods that played
havoc in Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and
other states, and the wind and hre
that devastated Omaha, die vlcarl-
ously. While it is not true tnat
every disaster is due to the negll-
gence of men, very often it is. One
has but to recall the Iroquois theatre
fire. the fire in the Coliinwood scnool
in Ohio, the General Slocum steam
boat disaster, the explosion and ire
in the Cherry mine in Illinois, and
the sinking of the Titanic to realize
the truth of this statement.
In all probability not one Of those
catastrophies would have occurred
if proper attention had been given 10
safeguard human lives, but those
safeguards were not taken and as a
result thousands of precious lives
were sacrificed. Yet they did not die
in vain, for the horrors OF it all LED
to proper steps being taken to pre-
vent any recurrence of such TRACE
dies. Such catastrophies will hardly
happen again soon because OF the
terrible loss of life that occurred IN
these that did happen, which put peo-
ple on their guard to prevent them IN
the future.
Travel on the ocean is much SAFER
since the Titanic sank last April with
nearly two thousand souls. Theatres
and schools, coal mines and excur-
sion boats are not now the traps they
we're before the above mentioned dis
asters took place. Therefore IN
very real sense those people died that
others might live. Pity 1t IS tnat
society needs such ghastly lessons to
nrotect itself. 1t ought not so to BE-
and will not when men fully reallze
that human life is more sacred than
pronerty, and act accordingly. we
are glad to say that time seems 10 De
at hand.

People Elect Senators.

The last State needed to make the
direct election of United States Sen
atcrs a fact has been secured, and
from now on the people will elect the
Senators and not the different legisla-
lures as has been the custom. The
struggle has been long and some
times bitter, but the advocates of di-
rect election have made steady ad-
vance with the result that the goal is
at last reached. 1t must be admitted
that those who have favored the con-
tinuance of the old system have play
ed into the hands of the other side.
The scandals, corruption. and eXpen-
sive delays associated. with the cleo
ton of many senators have disgusted
thousands of voters. Then. too, 1t is
Justly felt that some men have enter
ed the senate through the door OF
bribery-men who were so inferior
that but for their wealth they could
not have been chosen.

SPEAKS TO LARGE CROWDS.
Bryan Talks on the Benefits of Reli-
gi,n ard Training

Secretary G: State Bryan address,
ed two large audiences at Philadel-
phia Sunday on the benefits Of reli-
gion and the necessity for training
the young. At the Bethlehem Pres
byterian church, which is celebrating
it's 4Oth anniversary ne cited his be-
liefs and incidents in his own life to
prove the value of religious training
in youth.
"As look back over my own life, !"
he said, 81 can not find that I have
added anything to my moral princi-
pies since reaching manhood's estate
and in separating the credit I find lit
tie that I can boast of as my own"
Mr.. Bryan told his hearers how a
dislike for swearing, gambling and
drinking had been impressed upon
him by his parents in his early days.
This dislike, he said, has continued
ever since.
"Gambling," Mr.. Bryan declared,
"is even more demoralizing than
drink and harder to defeat. The gold
cure may take the taste for liquor out
of a man, but only God can take the
cure of gambling out of a mans
heart"
American diplomacy is not Of that
kind where you have to make man
drink to deal with him." declared
Secretary Bryan in discussing tenn
perance." During my long career, in
cluding more than quarter of CEN
tury in active politics there never has
been one day when I thought it bet
ter to take drink Of alcoholic liquor
even in moderate degree. In foreign
lands I have adhered to the same
principle, and 7 have yet to hear sin
gle criticism of my actions eitber at
home or abroad"
In his address at the Second regi-
! ment armory on "The Making Of a
Man" he urged the necessity of
building moral character upon reli-
gion and loyalty to Christ and His
| teachings.

MYSTERY Is CLEARED
NAN FOUND MURDERED IN Ian
CASTER KNOWN.
Body Found Three Weeks Ago Be-
ieved to be That of Harry Hyran,
!, Young Jewish PeGdler.

The Lancaster correspondent OF
The News and Courier says Sheriff
John P. Hunter Sunday received a
letter from L. SleSinger, a merchant,
Of Bishopville, S. c., making inquiries
concerning the body of the unknown
man found on the banks Of Twelve
mile Greek, about three weeks ago,
near Osceola, Lancaster county. The
body was discovered after having
been in the water about ten days.
There was wound in the head made
by some blunt instrument, and the
verdict of the coroner's jury was that
the deceased came to his death by
the hands of parties unknown and his
body thrown in the creek. The letter
follows:
Sheriff of Lancaster County, Ian
caster, S. C.-Dear Sir: We receiv-
ed news concerning person that was
murdered about fifteen miles north OF
Lancaster, and from the information
received from the party, he seems to
think that the description that the
foreman of the jury Of inquest gave
him, was H. Hyman, (Harry Hyman
as we all knew him.) This party
H. Hyman-is 81 years old, clean
face, very dark skin for a white man,
rather Indian color, Jew and
weighs about 135 pounds. He had an
operation last fall On one Of his toes
and the nail was taken off. He was
about five feet, seven inches tall, OF
under. If he had any papers on him
or letters that bear his name they are
in the Hebrew language, or if he had
check-book, this might lead US to
think he was Harry Hyman. How
long had this body been dead and on
what day was it found? If this party
does not answer to the description
and if he was a Jew, please let me
know. Also please inform me when
and where you buried the body.
''L. Slesinger."
After receiving the above letter
Sheriff Hunter renewed his efforts tc
unravel the mystery. The Governor
has offered a reward of SIS for the
apprehension and conviction of the
guilty parties, and Sheriff Hunter
has personally supplemented this
amount with SIS. About two weeks
before the body was discovered Con
stable John Caskey passed a peddle'
in the road in that neighborhood
who, he says, fills the description
given by the foreman Of the jury Of
inquest and that Of Mr.. Slesinger
He asked the man his name, and he
said it was Lyman. He also told Mr.
Caskey he was on his way to Lancas,
ter to get license to peddle in this
county. He did not reach Lancaster
however, as the clerks books do moi
show that any license was granted
to a man by that name.

THE DEMOCRATS WIN
ELECT CONGRESSMAN FROM MAS
SACHUSETTS.
John J. Mitchell, Democrat, Elected
to Succeed Republican Who Was
Elected United Senator.

A Boston dispatch says John J.
Mitchell, Democrat, was elected to
Congress from the 18th district
Tuesday three-cornered contest, in
which tariff discussion figured prom
iently.
Mitchell's plurality over Alfred H.
Cutting, Republican, was 4,14S. The
vote for Norman H. White, Progress
sive, fell 5000 short of that for Cut
ting.
Tuesdays special election was
necessary on account of the election
of former Congressman John W.
Weeks to be United States Senator.
In the election last November Mr..
Mitchell, who was successful Tues
day, was defeated by Mr.. Weeks by
1881 votes
The total vote Tuesday was; Nit
chell, 1891; Cutting, S,S4S; White,
5,67S. The vote last November
stood, Weeks, Republican, 1884;
Mitchell, Democrat, 1858; Fiel,
Progressive, 1888.
The tariff, and recently the Under
wood bill, were practically the only
topics debated in the campaign. All
| three candidates, and their support
ers on the stump placed their views
on the different schedules before the
shoe workers of Marlboro, the watch
makers of Waltham, the textile oper-
atiyes in the small towns and the
home dwellers in the residential Sec
| tions.
A Washinton dispatch says news
of the election Of another Democratic
| CONGRESSMAN from Massachusetts, was
received by President Wilson with
keen satisfaction. A bulletin an
nouncing the result came while the
President was at a theatre. He left
his box long enough to send this
message to Mr.. Mitchell: Il very
heartily congratulate. you on your
splendid victory"
Democratic leaders regarded the
election Of a Democrat in Massachu-
setts Just at this time, when the
tariff bill with it's reductions In pro-
tective duties on New England pro-
ducts is under consideration. as Pc
| culiarly significant.

KILLED BY THE POLICE.
Atlanta Horse Was Bitten by Mac
Dog and Goes Mad.

An Atlanta dispatch says just as
variation on the dozens Of mad dog
calls police officers have had during
the last two or three weeks, there
came q telephone call from So Tin
dali street Wednesday morning, that
a horse, recently bitten by dog, had
gone mad and was kicking the stable
to pieces. When the policeman got
there he found that the horse was
foaming at the mouth and was so
wild that nobody. dared enter the
stall he was in, nor even the stable.
The animal had already kicked the
stall to pieces and smashed out sever
al planks in the barn. After tele-
phoning the veterinary to make sure
there was no other way, the police
man raised his long barrel 3S in the
sill of tie door and put a couple c!
bullets in its head.

Senator Tillman told The States
correspondent at Washington Monday
that although he had received many
requests from various sources to have
the duty on different articles in the
tariff bill restored to their former
rates that he proposed to stand by
the bill.

furthermore it is a Democratic bill
through and through and mean to

81 would like very much to be able
to accommodate those who are try

but as I have just said, j mean to
stand by the bill that the senate and
the finance committee agree upon.

right way as I see it, to look on the
matter and that is the course shall
