What mar still has the heart to chide her
When pretty woman weeps?
What luxury can be denied her
When pretty woman weeps?
1t matters not how scarce his cash IS
If teardrops tremble on her lashes-
The hardest shell she quickly smashes
When pretty woman weeps.
How free from all that charms her face is
When homely woman weeps:
How slight-how very slight--her grace
Is
When a homely woman weeps:
Man may, indeed. with pity view her,
Dep!oring troubles that pursue her.
But PHYS all he vouchsafes to her
When q homely woman weeps.
Weep on. oh lady, II you're pretty,
But dry your eyes If you are plain:
There's little profit in mere pity.
You might as we'll evoke disdain.
If every woman's face were charming
Conditions here would be alarming:
Against them there could be no arming,
Defense no longer would remain.

Pullman company be compelled to use
steel cars. He is right when he says
this very wealthy company cannot
plead paucity of resources.
Everybody will agree with Mayor
Fitzgerald that the Pullmans should
be of steel, but it is no more important
that Pullman car passengers have this
protection than the passengers in
chair and common day coaches.
These human lives are all worthy
Of equal protection.

Her Little Hand.

Her little hand. How gladly I
Once held it prisoned in my owns
How thrilled I was to feel it lie
There softly. as we sat alone,
All me, how fair the castles were
That in the air doomed rich and grand
While coyly she permitted me
To fondly hold her little hand.
Her little hand When arise
From slumber to take up my cares,
To stretch myself and rub my eyes,
And help 10 run the worlds affairs.
I find my clothes all strewn about.
As leaves are strewn upon the strand.
With all the pockets inside out
Alas, her eager little hand

FISHING on THE UPPER MIssIs-
SIPPf.

The opening or the Keokuk dam
spells the doom Of fishing on the up
per Mississippi river unless a fishway
shall be put ina provision for which,
so It is said, was omitted in the con
struction Of the dam.
Fish move north for the breeding
season, but once they get below the
dam, they won't be able TO get back.
This inevitably means the depletion
of the upper waters OF the fnny tribe
and the destruction OF fishing pursued
as an industry and for pleasure.
There is work ahead for the Isaac
waltons Of the upper Mississippi to
get a fishway built into the dam.

When the wreck occurred on the

were splintered and occupants slaugh-

cars been OF steel the accident" would
have been far less serious, and that

mountains overlooking the mining
camp of Olney, according to reports
received by Sheriff Bonner Hill. A

cording to Superintendent Harry Da-
Wis, of the Cabin Creek Consolidated
Company's mine at Olney, about forty
of the miners continued at work.
When these men came out of the
mine tonight they were fired upon.
A mule was killed and two miners
are missing.
Sheriff Hill called on Governor
Hatfield for advice. Notify the
Judges of the Circuit and Interme-
diate Courts" said the Governor.

situation and if they find they are
unable to cope with the situation
then I will be ready to act"

other points along Cabin Creek to-
night.

JASPER COUNTY CITIZEN SHOT.
Charlie Mears May De-Willie Barn.
hill, Accused, in Jail.

Ridgeland, S. c., July 6.-Charlie
Mears, one of the largest truck farm
ers in this section, was shot and dan
gerously wounded yesterday after
noon by Willie Barnhill, at Tillman,
a small station on the Southern Rail-
road, about eight miles from here.
It seems that bad blood had been
existing between the two for some
time, and that about a week ago, Mr..
Barnhill, who is from Georgia, was
requested by some of the citizens to
leave the community, on account of
some acts alleged to have been COM
mitted by him, but he refused to
leave; that yesterday afternoon,
Mears walked up to Barnhill and,
placing his hand on the latter's shoul-
der, said something to him, whereup-
on Barnhill drew his pistol and shot
Mears in the left side, the ball pass
ing through his body, just below the
bottom rib, and coming out the right
side. Immediately, it is said, Mr..
Mears drew his pistol and shot at Mr..
Barnhill three times, but missed him.
Mr.. Mears was sent on the first
train to hospital in Savannah, in
hopes of saving his life, which now
seems improbable. Mr.. Mears is
about 35 years of age, and considered
one of the best men in Jasper County.
He comes from one of the oldest fam
lilies in South Carolina, and the affair
is regretted by all around here.
Barnhill surrendered to Magistrate
Boyles, of Tillman, who turned him
over to Sheriff Porter, of Jasper coun-
ty, who brought him to the Jail at
Ridgeland, where he is being held,
he is being held, without bond, pend
without bond, pending the outcome
of Mr.. Meares's wounds.

An Iron Woman" in the Flesh.

One day molder in an anvil works
in Trenton, N. j., displayed crush
ed finger to a fellow-molder.
"Why don't you go home?" the
other asked him. You could get
the day off,
The man wrapped a rag around the
finger and took up his rammer once
more. "The boss smashed two of
hers and she stayed on the job," was
his significant reply.
That's exactly what the "boss'
does, and every man in the foundry
knows it-she stays on the job. Fair
weather or foul, when extra heavy
orders cause a panic of haste and
overwork. when the plant runs short
handed, when business crises occur,
it is all the same-the "boss'' is there
with the o'clock whistle. If there
is no other way to get out the work,
she is ready to seize ladle or molding
spoon, rammer, or hammer, and lit
tie thing like a smashed finger or so
is not worth stopping for. 1t is rare,
therefore, to find a workman who
cares to mention a similar little in
convenience of his own since the
"boss'' is a woman in fact, not flc-
ton.
Her name is Mrs. Harriet White
Fisher Andrew, and from the plant
which she owns and operates in Tren-
ton go forth anvils and vises to every
part of the globe. There is not job
in the works, from the primitive,
muscular task of charging the cupola
to the skilled nicely of running the
pneumatic clipper, which she does
not know as much about as any of
the half a hundred men in her en-
ploy. She lives, she moves, she has
her being always in the midst of iron
creation; she knows iron only, from
whistle to whistle; inevitably, then,
the name Iron Woman" has fixed
itself to her.-The Worlds Work.

OUTING GIVEN MILL FOLK.
Col. w. G. Smith Provides Picnic
for Hands.

A very pleasant outing was given
the operatives of the cotton mill of
the Orangeburg Manufacturing COM
pany Friday by Col. w. G. Smith, who
has resigned his position with this
concern, and is now no longer con-
nected with the mill. The outing was
in shape of a picnic and barbecue
which took place at the site of the
old Dukes fishery. The picnic was
attended by a large number and a
very pleasant time was spent. Col.
Smith invited Mayor Sain to be pres
ent at the outing, and he accepted the
invitation also.
Col. Smith has just disposed of his
holdings in this mill and is now no
longer connected with same. He has
been at this mill for a number Of
years and many of the employees
who have worked under him here
have been in his employ for twenty
years. In fact some of his employees
have never worked for anyone else as
they came to Orangeburg from Bam-
berg with COL Smith when he left the
mill in that town to come to this
place. The employees regret very
much to see Col. Smith leave the mill
as they are very much attached to
him, and greatly admire him.
T. W. Lang, of Macon, Ca, has
been sent to this city to take charge
of the mill as general manager in the
place of Col. Smith, Mr.. Lang is orig
inally from England, but has been in
this country for a number of years
engaged in the cotton mill business.
Col. Smith has made no announce
ment as to his plans so far as busi-
ness is concerned for the future. He
simply states that he will take rest
for awhile. A rest for man who
has been constantly employed for
thirty-one years seems justly earn
ed. Col. Smith has been constantly
employed in the cotton mill business
for that period. He has not lost a
single day, save for on account Of
sickness in that time, and during that
time he has been connected with sew
eral cotton mills in this state.-

drangia helping to carry out the note
of color struck by the blue furnish
ings and pretty delft blue tiling.
The dining room was attractively
ornamented in pink, and dainty and
charming feature of the serving was
the pink rosebud laid upon each
plate in which refreshments were
served.

ing were the following ladies:
Mrs. J. D. Smyser, Jr., Mrs. B. w.
Covington, Mrs, L. R. Brazell, Mrs.

charmingly attentive to the guests.
The reception was all-in-all very
beautiful and very largely attended

young set of matrons who have made
themselves popular in Florence socie-
ty, is much to be congratulated upon
the success of her afternoons enter
ment.-Florence Times

Negro Kills His Wife.

Last Saturday a negro named Joe
Robinson came to town and surren-
dered to Sheriff Ray, saying that he
had shot and killed his wife. Robin
son stated that he lived near Olar
and that he had killed his wife be-
cause he found her with another man,
but the man got away. He shot her
three times with a pistol. Robinson
claims the unwritten law as an eX-
cuse, but we have heard from other
sources that he and his wife had been
separated for some time and that he
went over to the house where she was
living with some relatives and shot
her. Robinson says he has been liv-
ing on Mr.. w. B. Chitty's plantation.

SETTING HIMSELF RIGRT.
Man Pays for Articles He Says He
Stole when Boy.

Greenville, July 8.-A man who
gave his name as Compton, and who
said he was from Greer, came into a
local clothing store to-day and in
sisted upon paying one of the clerks
so cents, which he said he owed him.
No record could be found of the alleg-
ed debt, and the visitor was question
ed as to the purchase.
''No, I don't guess it is charged to
me-" he said. when I was rather
small boy, stole some articles out of
your store, that I suppose were worth
about so cents. Since have grown
up and have got religion, this matter
has been worrying me, so I came in
to pay for those things"
The man insisted on paying the
money, so the merchant accepted it.
