BARRIERS NOT TALKING
MACHINES.

It's all wrong. BARRIERS are not
loquacious. They simply do nearly
all the talking, fearing that il the
man In the chair gets too gassy they
will cut him.
That is the official explanation of
O barber to the charge that BARRIERS
never know how to stop talking.
IF you don't feel laxative, do
not start a conversation" says the
barber, land you will be surprised to
find that the barber is a silent work
err"
In other words. keep your mouth
shut, and the barber will close his;
begin talking and the barber has
got to outtalk you to keep from in
juring you with a razor.
Sounds good, anyhow.

cut-Out work form a shallow yoke trimming and the fairly wlde girdle and also edge the sleeves. Below the very short black crepe de chine sleeves is an mderpuff of white muslin, which comes to the elbow. Here, again is another quaint old-faShiOned idea white muslin underSleeveS coming out from black crepe de chine dress.
 RoIande has very successfully launched among the younger set a dress called Arlrquin, which is de- vel0ped in black satin and black crepe Seorgette This is d curious though simple dress, and owes its name to the taggy volantes or little N-shaped ilounces which edge the sharply cut triangular panels that pop out all over the skirt, bodice and shoulders of this novel little frock. A bit of color is in- tr0duced ill narrow girdle of twisted velvet, usually bright yellow. Smart young women, who frequent the pOpu- lar dancing places, are wearing this dress. Like everything else in Paris, fashion which is a success Is fright fully overdone. But for all that, the PariSienne takes great personal pride in the success of the moment, no mat ter how many times it is repeated.
 Hats Beloved of English Painters.
 Afternoon costumes in black and white are topped by the large black hats of the type beloved by English painters of the old school. These hats are just the loveliest things that ever

WHITE VELVET :: ].
 EVENING GOWNS
Fabric Regarded by Paris Dress makers as Most Charming
 for Winter Season.
REVIVE OLD-FaSHl0NED TYPE
Material Is Marvciously Fine, All Silk, close-Nap, Close -Sheared, Smooth and Has Wonderful Depth
 of Tone.

The leading Paris dressmakers con- tinue to eyince marked taste for white and black-singly, in Combina- ton and sometimes relieved by bright bits of color. The evening dress de luxe for the winter season is of white velvet. Every important maker is go- ing in strongly for the white velvet dress, according to leading fashion writer.
 In launching this novelty these die tatOrs of fashion have revived an old fashioned type of pure white velvet, which for many years has been con fined to millinery. It is that mar velously fine, alI-silk, old-fashoned velvet known as velourS de Lyon. This is close-nap. close sheared smooth velvet, which, without being thick has q wonderful depth of tone owing to its close pile and fineness of fiber.
 There is no new-fangled velvet. no panne and no chiffon, just plain, old fashioned velvet, exceedingly costly. limited in quantity, difficult to secure and durable to the point of serving several ationS-the kind of vel vet that the great grandmotherS of this generation had for honnetS. In their day. it was woven in narrow width. not over 1G or IT inches. but today the looms produce it in meter width.
 Oyster White Without BIemish.
 The perfect surface of this fabric can be produced only through the work of most skilled hands, and every thread of silk is carefully selected Being oyster white, it must bear nc blemish from bleach or finish.
 Another interesting variation of the preference for white and black is found In many lace models. Black lace. combined with black satin or black velvet, black and white lace combined with black satin, and black and white lace, combined with white satin. One of the most successful dresses shown by Madeleine ct Made leine has back and front panels of black velvet, with fan-plaited panels at the sides of black chantilly lace The black lace partly wells the velvet bodice and there are transparent lace sleeves.
 There Is very successful black and white lace model, in which all the foundation is of white satin; on the. skirt of which fall double cascade draperieS. that on one side being of black lace and that on the other of

 the woman who has leisure to attend formal afternoon functions. They can not find place in the busy life of the average modern woman who, more and more. is going in for business or politics.
 The flowing veil of black chantilly finds logical resting place on such a hat and adds greatly to the picture A very large hat of black tulle may have a trailing veil of chantilly lace falling well below the waistine in the front as we'll as in the back.
 Even children have not escaped the vogue for black and white. Although the more conservative of us may not care for black or black and white frock on a little tot, preferring to see such combinations reserved for their mothers there is no gainsaying the SmartneSS of these little dresses, brought out by some of our greatest dressmakers.
 There are many women who never wear large hats no matter how strong ly they may be emphasized by fashion. These will welcome joyfully the close fitting turbans of black satin that al- ready are forecast for spring.
 Brown for the Winter. 8
 Have you brown sweater? If not, you simply must get one. for no wom- an who makes the slightest pretension of being smartly dressed can go through this winter without such garment. In addition to being just the smartest thing in the sweater line. what could be more practical than a tuxedo jacket of good substantial brown camels hair, mohair or brushed wool?
 So popular is this color in sports things that great deal has been done in bringing out dozens of different beautiful shades, so that you may have your choice from pale cafe au lait down to the deepest tobacco brown.
 There are attractive brown scarfs, either in solid color or blended with other hues. The whole world appears to be scarf mad. Not only here in America does this craze grow daily, but in France and England as we'll. French women have taken to the wool sports scarf with surprising enthu- siasm. English women not only wear the sports scarf, but are effecting scarfs of wide ribbon swathing the neck, the preference being for black ribbons.
 Extra Warmth for Midwinter Sports.
 Among the scarfs appearing in our own shops is a heavy one for skating which has piece cut out to form a neckline and is slashed down a few inches and turned back to make revers. The head slips through the opening, making sort of sleeveless jacket, which ties under the arms. This is designed to give extra warmth to the shoulders and chest for mid winter sports.
 With the wintry weather the thought of nice warm wool clothes is pleasant. So many of the winter coats. even those of fur. are of the loose va- riety that for real comfort one needs some sort of jacket under them on very cold days. '-- -aa's

white lace. The bodice, peasantlike in its simplicity, is of white satin, with medium round neck and very short kimono sleeves, the only lace being frills of black lace which extend the sleeve length to the elbow.
 A tiny bit of color Is given by an embroidery of turquoise blue beads which edges the short sleeves, outlines the oval opening in the white satin blouse just at the girdle line and droOps again to follow a pointed yoke on the front of the white satin founda- tiOn skirt. Here the turquoise en- brodery gleams faintly through the drapery of lace.
 Wrinkled Bodice, Low WaistIine.
 One of the most sought models Is a black crepe de chine made with a panel-plaited skirt falling in loops. The simply wrinllled bodice showing low waistline, buttons at the side front, and is finished with a broad plaited collar of white crepe de chine in decided 0ne-side effect.
 The plaited panels of the skirt fall over ClOse-fitting foundation skirt of black satin.
 Nothing can be more simple and yet there Is something fascinatingly new about them. The brilliant peasant em- broideries in red, black and white and

Peanuts and Tariff
wood IndeX-J ournal.

Greenwood 1ndeX-Journal.
We Southern farmers do not pay
much attention to tariff questions but
fow and then something's bobs up
which makes US realize that there is
such a thing as "the tariff" Take
peanuts now as an example. About
two weeks ago peanuts were fetching
one hundred dollars the ton, accord
ing to market reports. Now they are
quoted at sixtyzhve dollars the ton.
1t will be remembered that we noted
some days the report of the commit
tee of investigation from the Cotton
Seed Crushers association of this
state in which it was stated that in
the opinion of the Southwest Georgia
farmers, peanuts at one hundred dol
lars the ton were about on a par with
cotton at twenty cents. A drop from
one hundred dollars the ton to sixty
five dollars the ton makes the peanut
crop much less valuable than it was
two weeks ago.
The explanation is that the Fordney
emergency tariff bill proposed tariff
on all foreign grown peanuts. This

Pecans Mean Money Here.

Greenwood Index-J Journal.
In saying "here" we do not mean
our own immediate locality but use
the word to locate certain commun-
ity in which they do mean money.
The community is the little town of
Caconton, Ca, a town Of around one
thousand people, whose pecan crop
this year, and the crop includes, of
course, the yields of trees in adjacent
territory, will amount to a million
pounds, according to the Atlanta
journal. The nuts are of unusual
quality and the money value is said to
be practically half a million dollars.
The crop may be retailed at a dollar
a pound but the railroads and the
different middlemen will get a good
part of all above that half million
dollars. Anyway half million dol
lars for one community is not bad /;
it is about half the value of some
of the cotton crops of Greenwood
county.
We do not believe in pecan culture
as paying venture alone, for this
section, but so far the owners Of bear
ing trees have always managed to sell
their entire supply. We need more
nut and fruit trees on all the farms
of the county. Many farms can be
found in this county without single
fruit or nut tree on them. There
should be both kinds for the benefit
of the owners family if not for sale.
And then the little surplus means
Just that much extra money. Eighty
dollars from such sources would be
equal to the interest on thousand
dollars and man with a thousand
dollars out at interest counts himself
a fortunate individual.

A SUCCESSFUL REVIVAL
AT WHITMIRE
southern Christian Advocate.

Southern Christian Advocate.
On October the second we closed
"a very successful meeting at the
Methodist church in Whitmire. Rev.
E. o. Hobbs, one of our general evan
gelists, did the preaching and Rev.
G. C. Thumm led the people in song.
The visible results were four hundred
professions, either Of reclamation,
conversion or sanctifcation and one
hundred and three additions to the
different churches in the town. Fifty
nine of these came to the Methodist
church, South. We believe that the
visible results are only part of the
good that was done. The churches
were euickened to new life and many
who were not reached were so moved
that no doubt they will finally yield
themselves to God. While this was
not union meeting there were addi-
tions to all the churches in the town.
Brother Hobbs preached strong
gospel in a very forceful way. His
messages are saturated with prayer
and are attended by the mighty power
of the Holy Ghost. He uses no pop
ular methods. The people are invited
to an altar of prayer and many weep
their way into the Kingdom of God.
Brother Thumm as a good leader OF
song He can not only lead the sing
ing but is a spiritual power himself
and is effective both around the altar
and in personal work. These two men
make a good team and any church
that wants real revival will do well
to employ them.

The D. A. R. School at Tomassee

It is possibly not known to every
one the great amount of work which
the Daughters of the American Rev.
olution are doing along the lines of
education.
There are in the state of South Car
olina two fine schools kept up entire
ly by the state organization. One is
the school at Georgetown, boarding
and day school under the care of the
Georgetown chapter and supported by
contributions from the chapters OF
the state. The other is our mountain
school at Tomassee in Oconee county
which is under the guardianship Of
the state D. A. r. and is fostered by
memberships and gifts Of all descrip-
tions from the chapters and from any
source whatsoever. A foundership is
valued at s100, payable in four year.
ly payments and nearly all the chap
tiers are now paying on their second
foundership.
Many of the chapters this fall are
having showers to provide the school
with such things as might be needed
in any boarding and day school for
girls.
Miss Henrietta Hines is superin-
tendent of the school. 1t is situated
near Walhalla and is, as its name i'm
plies, school for the children of the
mountains of South Carolina. AS we
all know many of our most eminent
men and women have been reared in
those mountains which have not only
given Drawn and muscle, but strength
of intellect as we'll. So it behooves
us as a state and people to do every
thing in our power to place before
the children Of mountains every
advantage possible. This is the
special work in which we, the South
Carolina D. A. R., are engaged, and
in which we are asking the coopera-
tion of every loyal Carolinian.
