A THOUGH the small hat has tri.
IA umphed for four seasons 1t shows
not the slightest sign of losing ground.
And for midwinter, with fur a furore
and many brilliant trimming novelties
at the milliner's hand, the small hat
cannot be outriyaled for beauty. Vel.
vet and furs look unusually well with
the many metallic trimmings which
will sparkle along with the frost as
long as winter lasts.
Besides the endless number Of tur-
ban shapes there are small hats with
straight brims, made of metallic nets
or laces, and velvet crowns for those
who prefer brimmed shapes to the
turban. Among the most elegant of
models are those having half the brim
of velvet, bordered with a wide fiange
of silver or gold lace or net, and the
crown of velvet. For a hat of this
kind the trimming is often a collar Of
mink or ermine or fitch. Sometimes
a big flower Of metallic net, having
each petal bound with fur, Is used for
garniture, and sometimes brilliant silk
and velvet roses are used. Hats Of
this kind are rather difficult to make
and require perfect workmanship and
the best material.
Occasionally a moderately wide
brimmed hat emphasizes just how be-

HE making Of neckwear has grown
i into a business OF really great mag
nitude, and those who manufacture col
lars and frills for the necks Of wom-
ankind keep designers as busy as those
who create millinery. These design
ers follow the trend of fashion, but
must produce variations in all types
of neckwear that will captivate by
their daintiness and beauty and have
something of novelty to recommend
them.
Just now there are several distinct
types Of collars that are fashionable,
leading off with the De Medici type,
which will maintain it's supremacy.
Then there are Follower and turn
over collars, and those that take their
inspiration from the sailor collar.
Added to these are frills that extend
all around or only part way around the
neck.
These several types are elaborated
in all sorts of ways. There are medici
collars with vestees, others with capes.
and still others combined with berthas.
And they are made Of lace or net or
sheer embroidery or organdie, EN-
bellished with fine, narrow laces with
hemstitching, tucks or cords. All other
types are made with as great variety
in construction and material.
In finishing neck frills, velvet and
satin ribbons and ribbon flowers are
added to them, while the medici and
sailor types, with turnover and roll
over collars, indulge in fine embroid,

, While South Carolina this year
marketed the largest crop of tobacco
in the history Of the industry in this
state, yet the figures show that the
receipts fell away considerably, due
to a depreciation of more than 4 cents
a pound on. account Of the European
war. The total receipts this year
were $3,979, 1903. 80, a falling off of
$~605,O35.6e. The value OF the tobacco
crop in the United States last year
was $104, 063, 900. Therefore, South
Cardinals increased yield this year
can have nothing to do with the price
in this state.
The reports, made under oath and
filed in the Office Of the state depart
ment of agriculture, show that there
were six new markets in the state
this year ard that n Of the former
markets was closed-that at Mayes-
vile, which last year handled $4,000
pounds of tobacco and received there
for $685. Il Sumter established a
market this year and the Sumter
Chamber of Commerce encouraged the
growth of tobacco with the results
that there were marketed at Sumter
495,209 pounds, bringing s54,974.40.
The annual reports compiled show
that Lake City jumped ahead of Null
Inns and led the state this year in
the amount Of tobacco sold. Last year
the figures were: Mullins 4,67S,6S6
pounds and Lake City 4,343,321. This
year Lake City took tho lead with
1888, 500 pounds, with Mullins but
3,7OS, 1854. On the other hand Latta
advanced from 194,913 20 1,321,735

EATING Without OWnino,

The supreme court of errors of Con.
necticut decides in Merrill VS.. Hodson
that a restaurant keepers service OF
food on a patrons order for immediate
consumption is not a sale of goods,
since the consumer does not become
the owner of the food served, but mere
ly has the privilege of consuming what
he needs. The court accordingly
ruled that a suit would not lie against
a restaurant keeper under the sale Of
goods act. in which there was implied
warranty that the food served was
wholesome and fit for consumption.
The court said that the remedy of a
guest injured at a restaurant by i'm

Controlling the Child.

The man or woman who has made
self-control a habit by willing to keep
from doing this or that, or by willing
to do this or that is the moral man
or woman.
We have been working in the
wrong way on the problem of estab-
fishing %self-control in little children.
We have been putting the cart before
the horse by trying to force our con-
troll upon the children instead of aim
ing to establish their own self-control.
To say to a child, Don't cry!" "Be
quiet" Don't break anything"
Don't get angry" is worse than use
less. We must begin, almost in baby
hood, to teach children that. control
which will give them the power to re-
strain and direct their bodies and
their emotions.

coming the brimmed hat can be. Usu.
ally it is trimmed with a broad band
of ostrich. An example Of this style Is
shown In the picture, and for shape
and manner of trimming it cannot be
improved upon.
In the pretty velvet turban at the
right a narrow fringe of curled ostrich
extends about the top Of the coronet
and the edge of the crown. An ap-
plique Of fancy braid gives a touch OF
color at the side. Metallic ribbons
are used in bows to finish turbans OF
this kind. This is an excellent model
for INT of middle age.
More distinctly suited to the ma
tronly wearer Is the turban with a
wide fur band about the coronet,
headed with a band Of steel beads.
The crown Is extended to simulate a
loop Of velvet at the center and over
hangs the coronet at the back like a
tam. This method Of draping the
crown gives the turban the necessary
height.
A collar of white fox fur Is effective
ly worn with this smartly designed
hat. Collars and boas Of ostrich serve
the purpose of fur. They are made In
many colors and combinations OF
colors and are very popular.

Tue For Charleston Navy Yard.

The Charleston navy vary was notl-
fed by the secretary Of the navy that
to it had been assigned the construc-
ton of a large naval tug of the newly
authorized Arapahoe class. The tug
is to cost $125,000, a sum sufficient
to build two Charleston libraries and
a Mitchell school. News of the award
of the tug to the Charleston station
was received at the local yard with
considerable j%ubilation. The con-
struction is by far the largest con-
struction job that has yet been al
lotted to this station. Just now work
is progressing at the Cooper river sta
ton on a $4,000 dredge for the army
engineers at Savannah and this is the
largest contract in construction that
has yet been handled at the works.
Previous building operations here
produced two 500-ton steel barges Tor

lingerie laces to embellish the plain
sheer fabrics Of which most of them
are made.
Just now, to be worn with tailored
suits, there are "laundered SETS" by
which is meant stiff collars and cuffs
which are either plain or embroidered,
and starched into the required still
ness. One Of these collars, with one
OF the cuffs to match, is shown in the
picture. It has a small vestee and
fastens up rather close about the neck.
The cuff is provided with a little tab
which is pinned to the coat sleeve.
The crisp freshness of these sets adds
100 per cent of style to the plain
street suit. Similar sets of sheer Or
candle are just as pretty.
A plain vestee with military collar,
made Of %organdie, is also shown in the
picture. The fronts Of the vestee are
hemstitched, the edges Of the collar
finished in the same way, and the coll
lar attached to the vestee with hem
stitching, which is the one decorative
feature of this piece.
This standing collar is a novelty
that will be welcomed b. women who
nrefer to have the throat covered and
those to whom other types are not be-
coming.
Among the .prettiest collars, with
cuffs to match, are severe and simple
stvles in the Follower collar, made Of
organdie. Often the only ornament is
a narrow transparent 1uted edging.
h collars fasten up moderately close
about the neck.

Can Not Perform Duty of Registrar

Can Not Perform Duty of Registrar.
Attorney General Peoples in an
opinion held that under the vital sta
tistics act, local registrars are Il
cers within the meaning Of the con-
stitution. their duties being defined
and their salaries fixed, and that a
MAGISTRATE would be violating the
constitution. Following is the opinion
in part, given to j. B. S. DENLY, mag
istrate at Walhalla: 81 am in receipt
of yours OF the Goth inst, in which
YOU; ask whether you can accept the
position Of local registrar under the
Vita statistics act.
"Ie. reply thereto I will say that
section 3 of this act provides that the
state registrar shall divide the state
into registration districts, define and
designate the boundaries thereof and
appoint local registrars in each dis
trict.
Section 4 of this act provides for
the compensation of these registrars.
There is nothing in the act devolving
the duties of these local registrars on
the magistrates, and consequently it
can not be said that they can perform
these duties by virtue of their posi-
lions as magistrates" .
Owing to the decision given J. B.
S.. Dendy by Attorney General
Peoples that under the constitution
magistrates would not be allowed to
hold positions as local registrars un-
der the vital statistics law, James A.
Hayne, NJ. D., state health officer, said
that ne was going to take the ques'
ton up with Mr.. Peoples at once and
