DISBARNIENT PROCEEDINGS
Begun Against G. =. Sims, Esq, OF
the Spartanburg Bar.

Columbia, Nov. 21.-Disbarment
proceedings were instituted in the
supreme Court to-day to strike the
name OF &. p. Sims, Of Spartanburg,
from the list Of attorneys at the Spar
tanburg bar.
Sensational charges are made in
the petition and in the affidavits
filed with the Clerk of the Court
Mr.. Sims IS one Of the best known
lawyers in the State.
Some of the charges are, briefly.
as follows: That Sims attempted to
mislead the Supreme Court in the
case OF the State vs.. John Sheldon
in attempting to secure a false afn-
daVit; that he solicited a suit against
the city of Spartanburg by going to
secure plaintiffs in the case; that he
solicited one Richard Jackson and
his wife to employ him in case and
COLLECTED a $40 fee," and after taxi
ing the fee failed to defend Jackson;
that he solicited Tom Jackson and
l.. NJ. Jackson to employ him in ano-
Their case and collected a fee and
then wilfully refused to bring the
action
One Of the most sensational allega-
tons in the Sims charges Is that
against him for securing fee Of $40
rom Mrs. NJ. E. Thomas to represent
her in getting a pardon for her son,
Baxter Thomas. The complaint al
leges that Sims took the fee and then
asked Governor Blease not to pardon
Thomas. Mrs. Thomas makes an afR-
davit to this effect. ..
Several other charges Of a similar
nature are made in the petition.

IDEA FOR WINDOW DRESSING
Easement Scheme of Decoration 10
One of the Neatest and Most
Servicea3le Possible.

One of the ueatest and prettiest
ways of dressing the window of a
room in which it is not desirable to
have flowing draperies is to use the
easement scheme of decorations. For
this purpose there comes specially
sheer and fine cotton material called
easement cloth through which the
light shines, although the interior of
the room is shielded from outside
eyes, but a similar charming effect
may be produced by cotton wolfe, by
Chinese or wash silk none of which
materials is costly. The arrangements
of the drapery is simple. 1t is shirred
scantily at both it's ends upon fine
sliding rods OF brass which fit into
groves at top and bottom of the case
ment if it be full length French win
dow, and against the sliding case
ments, il the window is of the Ameri-
can type. Another advantage of this
scheme of window dressing is the ease
with which the draperies may be
laundered, for, being straight. guilt
less of ruffies and always unstarched
the merest tryo may wash, iron and
readjust them.

HONOR DAY OF
MARTYRED Saint

The martyred saint whose name re-.
fines and beauties the merry customs
Of the ancient Roman festival Of the
Lupercalia knew naught of those suf-
ferings of his death seem to assert Ill
with the season of the mating birds
and the jolly forms of love-making
with which that season has been cele-
brated from time immemorial.
1t is not known whether his place In
the calendar was assigned to the mid
die of February with the purpose of
lending a more serious tone to the gid
diness Of Roman youths and maidens
in drawing their sweethearts by lot,
but certain 1t Is that though the lot
terry OF drawing ones valentine con-
tinued until late period of English
history, 1t changed to a form more
worthy OF approval by the serious and
sanity man whose name cOmmends it.
Though in this country and this gen.
Grafton the proper observance of St.
Valentines day is limited to the anon
ymous sending of tender or senti-
mental missives, leaving the re-
cipient to solve the mystery of the
sender in his or her own imagination,
there have been in the past many
pretty or fanciful notions associated
with the day.
One was that the first person of the
opposite sex one met on st. Valen-
tines morning was to be his or her
companion for life, and We may i'm
agine the care with which the votaries
of this little superstition avoided meet
Ing the wrong person. Sometimes
young women sought to decide the per-
sonality of their valentines by dream
ing, and even resorted to indigestible
food at going to bed on st. Valentines
eve in order to induce the dreams.
A sport of the young folks in Eng
land was to celebrate a little festival
on ST. Valentines eve, in which the
company was divided into couples by
lot and the young man was expected
to be attentive for some days to the
lady who was drawn as his valentine
taking her to parties, and so fSfth.
In these days the fortunate or unfor-
tunate young man who had drawn a
valentine in this way would be expect
ed to pay something for carriage hire
and theater tickets. It.cost the ccur-
tiers of Charles H. something to be
chosen as valentine, for Pepys, in his
diary, informs us of a certain belle
of the court who received jewel of
$500 value from her valentine OF one
year and a ring worth $500 from her
valentine of another year.
No true disciple of st. Valentine will
indulge in the license of the carica-
lures and libels that are nowadays
sent through the mails under cover of
the secrecy that is sacred to his day.
They are altogether alien to the spirit
of the season.

of Lincoln that he kept the matter

One does not have to make very
exhaustive study of Lincoln's charac

which led him to send a substitute

bloody drama then being enacted

was not of that easily-satisfied variety

things to remain as they are. without
indulging in exertion for the common
good. His was the hand which was

Orioin of Valentine Day.

From a practice prevalent in ancient
Rome at the festival Of the Lupercalia
during the month of February is it that
the valentine celebration comes; 9TH

nosition that birds select their mates
on this day while prominent his

antine was a man of most admirable
narts and so famous for his love and
charity that the Custom of choosing
valentines took its rise from thence
st. Valentine was beheaded at Rome
in the reign of the Emperor Claudius
"A. D. 270) and was early canonized.
At the Lupercalia festival, mention
ed above. the names of young women
were placed in box from which they
were taken by young men, according
as chance directed. Later 1t was the
custom on the eve OF February Ia to
have the names of select number of
one sex put into sorle vessel by an
aoual number of the other; thereupon
every one drew name which for the
time being was called his or her val
entine. The custom of choosing val
entines existed very early and was
much practiced in the houses of the
gentry in England There are frequent

Brocaded Xelvets-

Almost regal in their loneliness are
the new evening fabrics for the com
ing winter season. And particularly
true is this of the new brocaded vel
vets. For splendor of coloring and
richness of designs and variety they
are unequaled.
One feature is their lightness Of
weight--a whole gown is not cumber-
some, FOR the velvet is chiffon weight
and woven of very light silk.
The newest silks have a chiffos,
background, filmy and delicate, from
which the raised velevt figures stand
out in richness and beauty. The
corals, rose colors, soft amber shades,
and greens are unusually beautiful
and are being much used for the mora
elegant toilettes.
