even in her cheap hat and dress, held
herself with an air that added dis
tinction to the natural beauty of her
face and figure. And it is certain that
she looked at Chandler, with his ami
mated but self-possessed manner and
his frank blue eyes, with something
not far from admiration in her own
charming face.
Then it was that the Madness of
Manhattan, the Frenzy of Fuss and
Feathers, the Bacillus of Brag, the
Provincial Plague of Pose seized up
on Towers Chandler. He was on
Broadway, surrounded by pomp and
style, and there were eyes to look at
him. On the stage of that comedy
he had assumed to play the one-night
part of butterfly of fashion and an
idler of means and taste. He was
dressed for the part, and all his good
angels had not the power to prevent
him from acting it.
So he began to prate to Miss Mar
ian of clubs, of teas, of golf and of
a yacht lying at Larchmont He could
see that she was vastly impressed by
this vague talk, so he endorsed his
pose by random insinuations con-
corning great wealth, and mentioned

was Chambers short little day, and
he was wringing from it the best
that could be had, as he saw it. And
yet once or twice he saw the pure
gold of this girl shine through the
mist that his egotism had raised be-
tween him and all objects.
"This way of living that you speak
Of" she said, sounds so futile and
purposeless. Haven't you any work
to do in the world that might interest
you more?"

He shook hands with her, smiling
cordially, and said something about
a game of bridge at his club. He
watched her for a moment, walking
rather rapidly eastward, and then he
found a cab to drive him slowly
homeward.
In his chilly bedroom Chandler laid
away his evening clothes for sixty
nine days rest. He went about it
thoughtfully.
THAT was stunning girl" he said
to himself. shes all right, too, I'd
be sworn, even if she does have to

Thus spoke the brave who was
born and reared in the wigwams of

The girl, after leaving her enter
tainer, sped swiftly cross-town until
she arrived at handsome and sedate
mansion two squares to the east, fac
ing on that avenue which is the high
way of Mammon and the auxiliary
gods. Here she entered hurriedly and
assembled to a room where a hand :
some young lady in an elaborate
house dress was looking anxiously
out the window.

elder girl, when the other entered.

Time to Sow Oats.

If oats have not already been sown
no time should be lost in getting
them IN. If they are intended for hay
or to be fed in the straw, it will be
we'll to SOW a peck of hairy vetch to
the acre with the oats. The vetch
will increase the yield and the quail
ity of the hay. The sowing of wheat
in the mountain and in the Piedmont
sections has been in order for the
last two weeks; but in the lower part
of the State there is yet time to SOW
However, it will be better to get it in
by the middle of the month even in
this section. Sow not less than q
bushel per acre, and if it is large
grained variety, five pecks will be
better. Wherever possible, put it in
with a grain drill, and SOW with it
from 800 pounds to 500 pounds per
acre of 16 per cent acid phosphate or
bone and potash.-Progressive

HEALTHY LIVER MAKES BEAUTY
Famous Actress Finds that a Healthy
Liver is Necessary to Good Looks
and YOuthfulnesS.

One of the best known women OF
the American stage is writing series
of articles on the preservation of
beauty. She attaches great lmpor-
tance to keeping the liver active at
all times, and she is right. Neither
goods looks nor happiness will stay
long with any man or woman who
lets the liver get lazy and sluggish.
1t is not always safe to take calo-
mel, the old liver remedy. Doctors
agree that it is a very uncertain drug.
But the Peoples drug store has a
remedy for sale that they guarantee
to take the place of calomel abso-
lutely, and still be harmless, causing
no restriction of habit or diet. This
remedy is Dodson's Liver Tone.
Dodson's Liver Tone is pleasant
tasting vegetable liquid, but it starts
the liver gently and surely and reliev-
es constipation and biliousness so
promptly that it has become de-
pendable remedy in thousands of
homes in the United States. There
are scores of families in this vicinity
who will not be without it in the
house and who would not think OF
starting on a trip without bottle OF
it.
The Peoples drug store has sold so
much Dodson's Liver Tone that they
are convinced of it's merit and will
give any person his SO cents back,
who buys a bottle and does not find
that it takes the place of calomel to
perfection.

Not Headed That Way.

A good many years ago a steamer
was sailing down the river, with a
shrewd old Yankee captain in COM
mand. Suddenly the engines stopped,
and there was nothing doing for sew
eral minutes: The passengers began
to talk it over among themselves, and
one of them, portly, persistent sort
of person, advanced pompously to the
captain.
What seems to be the trouble,
cap?" he inquired. why have we
stopped?"

Deputy's Pistol Discharged.

Anderson, Oct. 23.-As Deputy
Sheriff Sanders was escorting Judge
Hayne F. Rice, of Aiken, presiding
over court here, through the court
house to a hotel for dinner recess
today, a friend struck the officer with
a stick, causing the officers pistol to
be discharged. The bullet struck the
seat of Sanders trousers, struck the
tiled floor, glanced and buried itself
in a window jam. The incident
caused some excitement as the cor
ridor of the court house was crowded
at the time. While Deputy Sanders
was demonstrating with the man who
dealt the blow Judge Rice remarked
characteristically that the man had
acted very foolishly.' The bullet
harmed no one. The blow causing
the discharge of the pistol was dealt
in friendly way and the man deal
ing the blow was as much surprised
as anybody when the pistol fired.

Charged With Taking Money.

Lexington, October 29.-Charged
with breach of trust with fraudulent
intent, John Stephens, white man
of some prominence, was arrested
Monday at Batesburg, by Sheriff Sim
J. Miller, Of this county. The war
rant for Stephens's arrest was issued
by Magistrate H. B. Garvin, of Wag-
ener, upon complaint OF E. D. Senter-
field, who alleges that Stephens, on
the oath of October, this year, re-
ceived a school claim, the property
of the deponent for the sum of $3.50,
to carry to Aiken for the purpose of
getting the superintendent of Aiken
County to approve the claim. Ste
phens was to secure the endorsement
of the superintendent of education
and was to leave the warrant with that
official, who was to return the same
to the Bank of WAGNER, it is alleged.
Instead of leaving the warrant with
the superintendent of education, it is
Stained that Stephens had the war
rant cashed and made away to Lex
ington County with the funds, ap-
propriating a portion of the money
to his own use.

Giving Him a Send-o1f.

In a paper published in a county
not so very far from Bamberg there
came to our attention few days ago
some resolutions on the taking
away of two brothers of a colored
lodge. One brother must have stood
we'll in the order. for the statement
was made in the resolutions that it
was believed their loss was Heaven S
gain.
But the other fellow must have
been in bad oder with the brethren
for some reason, for we find that they
say of him:
ITO our regret, Satan, the spirit of
evil, also visited our circle and taken
away one Joseph Anderson. While it
is his loss, it is Satan's gain, as we'll
as the chain gang's.' Evidently the
brother must have met with the
misfortune of having been sent
to the chain gang. The brother was
also a member of another lodge, but
here he Jared no better, for the reso-
lutions read on:
Joseph Anderson, on the same
date, buried his own self beneath
the clods Of sin and shame. Pity.
Let those who have sown, reap" Alas
for Joseph. 'Tis true, tbs pity, and
pity 'tis, it's true
If the fraternal orders of white
men paid such tributes to ''departed
brothers," we fancy there would be a
rapid falling off in the membership
of many lodges.

WOUNDED BEFRIENDiNG A BOY.
Preston Metts Tells of the Shooting
at DOranGe.

Preston Metts, the young white
man who was wounded during a fight
with a negro near his home at Do
range Sunday night, told reporter
for The News and Courier yesterday
at the Roper Hospital the details of
the shooting. Mr.. Metts is in Sc
rious condition., but his recovery is
expected, and when questioned he
said he was confident he would be
up and about soon.
He was very weak, and it was only
with great difficulty that he was
able to speak. Sometimes he took as
long as a minute to pick up the
broken thread of his conversation.
He spoke slowly, and answering what
questions he could by nodding his
head. He seemed to be suffering a
great deal. At his bedside was his
father, Ransom l. Metts, who came
down from Dorange when brother
who brought the wounded man to
Charleston returned Tuesday morn
ing. The father will return home
this morning, unless the sons condi-
ton is such as to require him to re-
main. Other relatives will come dur
ing the patients stay at the Hos
pital.
Because of his condition he was
not pressed for facts regarding the
shooting, and hence told the tale
as briefly as possible. Il had just
gotten off the train at Dorange Sun
day night, some time after Z O'clock y
said the wounded man. "On the road
near the station was white boy
knew and a negro named Mosley was
cursing him for everything. l spoke
to the negro, and. both the boy and
myself started toward our home, the
negro going ahead. Further down the
road the negro kept cursing the boy,
and when he refused to stop a few
words followed, and I sstruck him
several times with my bare fist.
THE negro didn't like it and We
mixed it up. The boy helped me. 1t
was dark. l heard a pistol shot fired
and l called to the boy if he had a
pistol, and he said no. Then l heard
another shot, and in a few seconds I
felt pains in my stomach. l hollered
that l was shot and the boy came to
me. The negro got away through a
cotton patch"
His father then told of his son be-
ing taken to Reevesvill, and from
there to Charleston. According to the
elder Mr.. Metts the negro was raised
in that vicinity, but only recently re-
turned from Florida, and that he has
not yet been arrested.
Mr.. Metts's wound is in the abdo-
men and his condition is not consider
ed critical The wound was caused
by a 32-calibre pistol.-News & Cou-
rier, October 80.

TO INCREASE SUPPLY OF PORK.
4 gricultural Dept. Looking After
Boys Pig Club.

Washington, Oct 26.-The depart
ment of agriculture has it's Boys
Corn Club and it's Girls Canning
Club and now comes the Boys Fig
Club. being organized in the South
Tor tie purpose Of increasing the sup
ply of pork and encouraging good
breeding of hogs. Already clubs have
been organized in Alabama and Louis
lana, and a club organization has
been started in Georgia. 1t is the
purpose of the officials Of the depart
ment to organize clubs in every
Southern State.
The idea of the organization start
ed with the farmers cooperative
demonstration branch of the depart
ment and has been carried on with
the cooperation of the animal hus-
bandry division of the bureau of ami
nal industry. The organization is
an off-shoot of the Boys Corn Club,
which has an organization in every
Southern State and which has been
the means of producing record-break-
ing yields Of corn. The Pig Club
when thoroughly organized will, it is
expected. work hand in hand with
the Corn Club. The boys Of the lat
ter will produce the corn ard the
boys of the newly organized associa-
ton will see to it that the pigs are
produced to eat the corn.
In connection with the organiza-
ton of the Pig Club the department
makes the following statement:
In organizing the Boys Pig Club
it is the purpose of the department
to establish clubs in every South
ern State. The animal husbandry
division is cooperating with the
farmers cooperation demonstration
office in the bureau of plant industry
and has already established clubs in
Alabama and Louisiana, and the
movement is under way in Georgia.
The organization is being done by the
officials of the farmers cooperative
demonstration force, and the animal
husbandry agents are instructing and
demonstrating how to handle the
stock and to breed superior type of
pigs.
1T is the purpose of the depart
ment to have every member of the
club encourage not only an increased
production of the swine family, but
a better breed of pigs than is being
raised at present. 1t is a serious
purpose the officials of the depart
ment are engaged in-one that is
aimed at the high cost of living.
The production of pork is not
keeping pace with the increased pop
ulation and something must be done
to harmonic these two elements.
If each member of the club-and
they vii, be growing it is expected
all the time will see to it that
one more pig and better pig is pro-
duced each year, then a long step
will have been taken in meeting the
ever growing chasm between pork
production and increased popula-
ton
