ENGINES TIED TO TRACK.
Effort Being Made to Reach Some
Settlement In Miller Case,

Tuesday afternoon through orders
from Sheriff Bradford two of the At
lantic Coast Line engines in the yard
at Sumter were fastened to the tracks
in the yard and up to noon Wednes-
day they were still being held in or
der to bring the railroad officials to
some agreement Of settlement in the
Miller case, a case which has been
thrashed throughout the courts sew
eral times and which has attarcted
statewide attention and interest.
The verdict for $4,000 has never
been paid by the railroad company
and the attorneys for Miller, it is un-
derstood, wish to bring the matter to
head. arriving at some agreement
on a settlement. At present there is
an appeal from decision made by
Judge Ernest Gary. refusing a new
trial on alleged after discovered evil
dence. pending in the Supreme Court.
1T Is understood that the railroad COM
pany is awaiting the decision Of the
State Supreme Court on this issue be-
fore they will come to terms. On the
other hand it is understood that the
attorneys for Miller wish to arrive at
some understanding of the case. They
allege that Judge Ernest Garys juris-
diction In the matter ended when he
left this circuit and that an order
from him ordering action in the mat
ter delayed until the Supreme Court
decision is announced is without effect.
In the meantime the engines are be-
ing held in order to bring the mat
ter to an immediate head, and two
other engines were sent here from
Florence to- do the work on the yard.

REMAIN AWAY FOR A WHILE.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
| am madly in love with girl
who likes me very much as
friend, but is in love with another
man She knows that this man Is
in love with another girl, who re-
turns his affections and has frankly
told me the whole situation. We
have both suffered great mental
anguish as a result of the unfor-
tunate circumstances. What would
be the chances of her transferring
her affections to me when she
fully realizes the futility of caring
for the other man. and should |
continue to go with her or re-
main away from her altogether?
II. L. S.
She knows you love her. She finds
no joy in it now, but l am sure sh,
will later, if you remain away till sh,
has learned the folly of caring for tht
other man.

without her gentleman friend, TO
whom she is engaged, telling him
first that she was going to a girl
friends house. where there were
only to be girls. and going to this
party because a certain young man
was to he there. A GENTLEMAN.

ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN By Beatrice Fairfax

Tor some reason she changed her
love to mere friendship.
Shall | pay my attentions TO the
first girl or the second? l think
by trying real hard ! could win the
second, but do not want to humble
myself when there is another girl
who is glad to receive my atten-
tions, If l go with the first girl,
IT will mean broken friendship be-
tween me and the second girl.
PERPLENED.
You say YOU don't want to humble
yourself to win the girl YOU love, whea
the girl whom YOU don't love is ready
TO drop into your hands?
That settles it. You don't love her.
If YOU did, you would be glad to bow
in the dust for her sake.
The trouble with you is YOU want
both. Since YOU can't have both, make
up your mind which one you want, and
go in and win. And be true to her!

Hints or the
Household

Every housekeeper should know how
to detect margarine from butter. Draw
the blade of a knife across the sus.
pected butter. If it is margarine the
place where the knife was pressed will
look white. and the track Of the brssa
will be marked with little beads o.,
water When the test is made with
genuine butter the white look does not
appear, but the butter holds its color
Another test is to drop piece of the
suspected butter into well heated frv.
ing pan. If it is spurious it will sputter
because of the water in it: if it is gen
uine it will melt and bubble or boil. bpt
not sputter.

Before peeling apples for pies il is a
good plan to place them in the oven for
few minutes, as this facilitates the
removal of the skin. Hot water should
first be poured over them. They should
then be drained and placed on the tor
shelf of the oven for a few minutes. the
door being left ajar. At the end Of
that time the apples should be removed
and the skin lightly pared off with d
sharp knife, when there will be much
less waste than if they were peeled in
the ordinary manner.
