A QUESTION IN GRAMMAR.


Newberry woman writes as fol
lows:
What do you think of this ex.
preston?
lis my hat in 'you-all's' way?"
| At the opera house some time ago
a young lady. who is teacher in
one of the Newborry schools, asked
that question OF the ladies who were
sitting behind her.
This is from one who likes pure
English in the schools and thinks
that the teachers, at least, should be
good grammarians.
The expression. lis my hat in you.
alis way" shows such a kindly and
considerate spirit that the editor
who is somewhat of movie fiend''
himself, and has sometimes had the
best picture obscured by hats, has no
heart to criticise adversely the gram
mar of the sentence quoted. And
so he is glad to be able to say, TAX
ing it for granted that the question
was directed to more than two per-
sons, that the sentence is grammatic-
ally correct.
The expression "you ALL" when ad-
dressed to three or more persons. has
& somewhat awkward sound-this,
no doubt, because It is unusual
among uncultured persons. To say
you all' in speaking to one person.
or to only two persons. is of course
bad grammar; said to be common
among mountaineers and backwoods-
men. They use the expression in
speaking to one or two or many per-
sons-just as persons in a certain
portion of Laurens county use the
word "you-uns." Perhaps in some
parts OF Newberry county persons
say "you-all," or "y'all" in the same
indiscriminate way.
Both the grammar and the heart.
though, OF the young lady teacher
referred to are absolutely all right.
Why shouldn't "you-all" be as
good grammar as they all?Y
And they all began with one ac,
cord to make excuse. ."-Newberry

Mother Praises Remedy
That Relieved Her Bah,
DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Is De-
pendabie Family Laxative.

Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Is "a De-
pendabie Family Laxative.
Nearly all the sickness incident to
a baby's life is due to constipation, or
inaction of the bowels. At the first
indication of irruglarity in this i'm
portant function, relief should be af-
forded promptly. A mild laxative
should be administered to gently
carry off the congested waste and
leave the stomach and bowels free to
perform their allotted tasks.
OF the various remedies recon-
mended to relieve constipation, the
combination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin, as prescribed by DR.. w.
b. Caldwell and sold in drug stores
under the name of DR.. Caldwelps
Syrup PepsiD, is the most effective.
1t contains no opiate or narcotic
drug, is pleasant to the taste, mild
and gentle in action, and quickly
brings the desired relief in an easy
natural manner.
Mrs. G. ]. Douglas, Mason, Ill.
writes that she cannot say enough in
praise OF DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pep.
sin as a dependable family laxative
Little Mary Eva had been badly con-
stipated until they tried DR.. Cald.
wells Syrup Pepsin. which brough,
the first natural relief the child had
had in two weeks.

BUYING AT HOME.

Doubtless many persons who are
accustomed to sending out of town
for many articles, never stop to
think Of the consequences of whar
they are doing, nor of the effects
it will have on business at home. 1t
is economically wrong TO patronize
mail order houses. 1t is poor bust
ness as we'll, and will sooner or later
result in injury to the person who
indulges in the habit. Every dol
lar passing through the channels OF
trade in the home town or commun-
ity helps to swell the volume OF
trade and does, therefore. that much
good to the community and its bust
ness.
But" we hear, Il cannot get
what l want at home. and / have
to send off for it." Are you sure
this is correct? And if it is cannot

of the things you need, to get it for
you, at the same price you will pay?
And would not your demand for this
article and the demand Of others
for similar articles cause some one

thus enable you to always get al

We recall an advertisement by a
furniture dealer of WATERFORD in
which the offer was made that IL
any customer would bring him any

FOREST WASTE.

In our great Southern plains we
have been prodigal. The riches of
the long leaf pine have been spent
with prodigal hand, and with axe in
hand. Turpentine, forest fire, and
general want of appreciation have
destroyed the most stately and valu-
able forest that / have ever seen.
The merchant fleets of the civilized
world came to our ports and carried
off our priceless riches. We taught
our children in school histories how
the Indians bartered their land. ig-
norant of its value, for a gay-colored
blanket. At that same time we were
selling the timber of centuries at a
few cents on acre. And the nations
OF earth carried off cargoes of un.
equaled timber until it was gone.
And we have not stopped yet Ride
on any railroad through that portion
OF our State. You will see young
pines as large as your leg. They
have escaped the forest fire, which
destroyed so many of their fellows.
Kind nature seeks to rebuild our
land. repair our waste. What are we
doing to these young trees? Mark
the scar of the axe. and the charrei1

fire are the agencies we apply to
thwart nature. sometimes think

He was charged with hav- ing sold pair of shoes to a little negro boy last Sunday. On account of his lack of Knowledge of American laws and customs, Judge Green offered to dismiss the case if he would call the trade off-take back the shoes and give the negro boy the money, s1.55, and pay the costs.

CARNLEY DID NOT

 Political Cabar'

Montgomery. February 5.-(Special.) ) In reporting the speech of J. A. Carnley |of Elba at the Grand theatre here last Thursday night. the Montgomery cor respondent of The Age Herald did Gen. Bibb Graves. chairman of the state democratic executive committee, an un- intentional injustice in stating that Mr. Carnley had charged General Graves with being connected with the political cabal' at Birmingham
 MT. Carnley charged that MT. Mer- ritt was under the domination of this cabal, and that he responded to every call made by the leaders.
 MT. Merritts weakness" said Mr. Carnley. Ifs being controlled by this political cabal He is backboneless politician. Those men. and I call names, are Borden Burr, Charlie Rice. Fred Jackson, Walter Sessions, with the aid and cooperation of an ex-governor. They get together and they decide what to do, and if they want MT. Merritt to do anything. they send for him, and he goes."
 It will thus be seen from the steno- graphic report of MT. Carnley's speech that he did not say General Graves be- longed to the political cabal"
