SATURDAY BATHING.
A Custom the occident Borrowed From,
tho Orient.

tho Orient.
Most barbarians, judged by modern
standards, were anything but cleanly
in their personal habits. In England.
France and Germany bathing was an
almost unknown custom until after
the Crusades. The pilgrims from the
east brought home with them ideas of
the bath as help In the treatment of
disease. and bathrooms were gradually
introduced into the hospitals. From
the hospitals the ideas of bathing
spread generally. People who had
been treated there saw the value Of
keeping the body clean in order to re-
sist disease. The great plague that
of the fourteenth century helped to
teach this lesson.
BY the fifteenth century there was
scarcely large city that did not pos
sess well patronized public bathing es-
adjustments, although 1t was not until
the seventeenth century that the Turk
fsh bath was introduced. and not until
the eighteenth century that sea bath
ing. so common among the American
Indians, was tried experimentaliy.
Saturday was chosen as bathing time
and the reason Is not difficult to i'm
agine. On Sunday everybody was COM
PEELED to go to church. whether he
would or not AS the Moslem in the
east bathed before entering the mosque
so did the medieval man before enter
ing his church. only he must take his
bath on Saturday afternoon in order
to be clean the following day. There
was even distribution of bath money
to the children whose parents were
unable to pay for their baths. New

CHICAGO. Sept S-Primary re-
ceipts of wheat for last week were
7.70l 900 bu., compared with 1892, 600
bu a year ago. Weather conditions
were favorable in the Northwest, but
there were frosts in the extreme north
of the Canadian wheat belt. One hun
dred and nineteen care are expected
here by late today.
Corn showed a weakness late in the
week, Oats held comparatively steady.
Hog products were fairly active.
Toledo wired: The big mills in this
section have only about one-third or
one-halt the amount OF wheat in store
they had last year at this time. They
have already gone 10 Chicago for

lures promise great activity. and the
eager demand for the last week sug-
gest that there is only one side TO the
situation. We. however. do not agree
To that now. and on the basis OF ~

Other lines of vocational training
will be continued AS in the past with
no additional courses, stated Superin-

more work of this kind than most of
the schools of the state, he said, and
more than is required by the new state
law Since the erection Of the new bull
ding the work in manual training
has consisted for forge and bench
work and turning. Modern kitchens
are provided for teaching domestic
science.
In the grades the manual training
consists of paper modelling, weaving,
and sewing, which has been regular
part of the curriculum for number
of years.
Building Not Completed.
To relieve the crowded condition Of
the schools, two new rooms have been
opened at the Vale and Warner
schools, and the Joseph Moore schools
built in West Richmond. The new bull
ding is not complete, and until it is
ready to be occupied, the students in
that district will attend the Baxter
school. Three teachers have been add
ed to the corps, and will have charge
of the Joseph Moore school. They are
Mrs. Rosa Ladd, Anette Edmunds,

Information for Confederate
Pensioners

The Confederate veterans are pass
ing away at rapid rate and for
that reason there is a prevailing idea
among the veterans that the pension
ers ought to get more money.
Well, for those on the outside it
does look so, but let's examine the
records and see how it is.
Last year fifteen pensioners died
in Union county. This year fifteen
new pensioners have been added to
therolls, and twelve pensioners on
the roll have had their pensions raised
to higher class, which is equal to
fifteen more of the lower classes. So
Union county, while it loses fifteen of
its pensioners, gaines thirty.
If the other counties all over the
State have the same gain as Un-
ion, the pensioners of Glasses C, No.
and 4, will not get as much money
this year as they did last year.
w. H. S. Harris,
Pension Commissioner for
Union County.

Fire at the. Fair Grounds: s.:

Twenty-eight stalls were DESTROYED
by fire at the fair ground Tuesday
morning about noon. The loss to the
Fair Association is considerable,
there being but the small sum of 5000
insurance covering this loss, there be-
ing insurance on all the buildings, in
cluding the grand stand of $1,000.
1t is thought by many that the fire
was of incendiary origin; others be-
lieve that loafers and gamblers, said
to congregate out there at times,
caused the fire by carelessness in
smoking.
For time the flames threatened to
destroy the whole property, but Mr..
j. K. Charles and others rendered
prompt service and saved the build
ings.

NOT COMPELLED To SHIP
LIQUOR, SAYS FED. JUDGE
Federal Court Refuses Or
der Against Express Com
pany = Judge Waddill
Says Main Question is
Yet Unsettled.

Richmond, Va, March 11.-Judge
Waddill of the federal district court
today refused to grant the temporary
restraining order prayed for by II.
Clark & Son and other Richmond and
Petersburg mail order liquor houses
against the Southern Express cons
pany to prevent the company from
refusing to accept consignments of
liquor for persons in South Carolina.
The court went on to say that it's
refusal to grant the Injunction does
not necessarily prevent the complain
ants from continuing to do business
in South Carolina if they have the
right to do so under the laws of that
State.
1t said further that the express
company might be liable for omission
properly to perform it's duty if it fail
ed to receive the shipments in ques-
ton.
Summing up, Judge Waddill point
ed out that the sanction of the court
was merely withheld pending a settle
ment of the question whether it is
legal for liquor to be shipped into
South Carolina.
District Attorney Groner stated
that he had recently been in confer
ence with Attorney General Mercy
nolds in regard to the Webb-Kenyon
act which is concerned in the ques-
ton at issue, and that the attorney
general had expressed desire to be
heard before final disposition of the
South Carolina case is made.
The liquor people do not deny that
their ultimate purpose is to question
the constitutionality of the Webb
Kenyon bill which prohibits ship
ments of liquor into aLState where the
State law prohibits it.

The debate at the High School au-
dltorium Tuesday evening to select a
representative to attend the oratori-
cal contest at Clinton, was a most
creditable entertainment.
The Presbyterian College, located
at Clinton, has offered three medals
to the High School boys of the State
o encourage and develop their pow
ers of oratory and each school is en-
titled to one representative.
The contest Tuesday evening was
to select our representative.
The boys who participated in the
contest and the subjects are as fol-
lows:
"The New South" by Henry w.
Grady-Tom Murrah.
"The Prince of Peace" by William
Jennings Bryan-Alex Oliphant.
"Eulogy on Henry w. Grady" by
John Temple Graves-Ernest Nor
gan.
"The South and the Union," by
Robert Y. Hayne-Claude Jolly.
The Speech of Robert Emmett
when under sentence of death-Har-
old James.
"The Path of History" by Henry
w. Grady-Oliver Rice.
can Appeal to Arms" by Patrick
Henry-Rutledge Lawson.
These young gentlemen spoke like
veterans. Who knows but that a fu
ture president of the United States
was speaking to us Thursday even
ing?
The judges, Hon. J. A. Sawyer,
BsY y Daniel and Hon. r. y. eRar-
ron, had great difficulty IN deciding
who should be awarded first place,
but after mature deliberation accord
ed that honor to Mr.. Ernest Morgan.
He will, therefore, represent the Un-
ion High School at Clinton and many
predict that he will bring back the
medal.
During the evening beautiful music
was rendered by Misses Fannie Dun
can, Ruth Gault, Mary Rice and Dor
othy Wood.
Prof. Jeffries and his splendid corps
of teachers are to be congratulated
on these well trained young men and
young women.
