CoIston, Sept. 26.-We are having
ideal weather for harvesting our
short crop;'it is just once in a while
that we see bale of cotton on its
way to market, neither do we hear
the darkeys singing late in the after
noon while tying up the big sheets
of cotton they have picked during the
day, nor do we see the farmers out
until after dark with book, pencil
and lantern, weighing the days gath
ering. Nowadays they start in field
in the morning and way before night
they are through. The days for the
Mariner are hard until they find some,
thing to take the place of cotton
Some few in this neighborhood have
tried truck on a small scale and re-
ceived nothing whatever, so every
thing looks gloomy for the man ano
his family that live in the "sticks".

How Best To Remove All Stains.

Clean white kid slippers with any
mild soap and sprinkle them with tai
cum powder. When dry, rub OF with
a soft cloth. This makes them retain
that new look.
Yellow spots on clothing are often
due to acid. Try immersing them in
weak solution of ammonia and warm
water.
A few drops of turpentine added
to the rinsing water when washing
white silk hose, underwear, skirts
etc., prevents them from turning yel'
low
To clean fur collars and cuffs, rut
,horoughly with corn meal soaked in
gasoline.
The white braid on blue wooler
middies may be cleaned by spongins
with a solution of white soap. Press
and the MILDLY will look like new.
To remove powder stains from
your suit or dress collar, sponge WITH
turpentine.
To remove auto and car grease
from any wash goods before victims
rub the spot with lard. This loosens
the grease and it will wash out with
gasoline with a blotter under the
spot. This is splendid for mems palm
beach suits.
Vaseline rubbed on the scuffec
places of shoes before they are pol
ished will render the scratches invis
ible and also prevent the surface from
becoming further scratched.
To wash handkerchiefs so that they
do not discolor, put them in tub o1
cold water to which a handful OF sail
has been added. The next day wash
them out and boil them with one ta'
blespoon of orris root. Rinse in colo
water and hang out to dry.-The De-
signer.

Wife Killer is
Arrested Here

Jack Bates, negro about so OF
40 years old, was arrested on the
Southern passenger train arriving
here at 9:02 Monday morning by
Chief of Police J. w. Mccormack,
charged with the killing of his COM
man law wife at Cave, Allendale
county, on Saturday night previous.
Bates was placed in the Bamberg
county jail, an dthe Allendale autho-
rites notified at once. The sheriff OF
AllendaIe county came to Bamberg
at noon Monday, secured his prisoner
and returned with him to await trial.
The killing occurred at the home
of Bates near Cave, on Saturday
night. Since that time and until
Monday morning Bates had been hid
ing out. Monday morning he ven
tured on the train with ticket for
Columbia, but decided to take, a
roundabout trip, in an effort to
evade being caught, and this move OF
his proved to be his undoing, for af-
ter he got on the train at Blackville,
going by way of Branchville to CO.
lumbia. a fellow colored passenger
recognized him as the Cave wife kill
er and notified Capt. Greneker, the
conductor. At Denmark Capt. Gren-
eker had the operator call the Bam-
berg operator and ask the sheriff to
meet the train. The sheriff could
not be found at the moment and Mr..
Johnson, the Bamberg OPERATOR mott
fed MAGISTRATE Edgar Dickinson, who
was without his weapon at the time
and he called on the chief to make
the arrest.
When the train stopped Chief Nc
Cormack, accompanied by Mr.. Dick
inson and the conductor, arrested the
negro, and lodged him in jail.
Bates readily acknowledged that
he was the man wanted, and acknoWl-
edged killing the woman, who, ne
told the officers, was mot exactly his
wife,, though he had lived with her
for a long time, and they had, accord
ing to Bates a "yard full of chill
dren". The story he told the officers
was that he and another negro were
returning to the woman's home Sat
urday night, and failing to find her
at home, he went out in search OF
her. He found her, he said, some
distance away coming home in COM
nany with another negro man. Bates,
he told the officers, remarked to. the
woman that if he had pistol he
would shoot her, whereupon, he
claims, the woman's companion told
him he had a pistol, and handed 1t to
Bates. He claims he did not have any
intention of shooting her, but that ne
raised the pistol as if to shoot, and il
went off accidentally, the bullet strlk'
ing her in the head and killing her.
Bates claims that he was drunk al
the time, and did not realize every
thing that he did.

Modern Miracles

What a marvel it is, Our modern
miracles are so much more unbeliev-
able than the wonders of old. Radio
concerts cover thousands of square
miles, the human voice carrying
around the world, and one after an
other of the plaques of men falling
before serums. A great French scien
fist declares that discarnate spirits
are physically ponderable. Possibly
he Is wrong But why not? With the
air about us filled with sounds, we
cannot hear until science opens our
ears; with a printed page radiating
music that gives forth words and
from the succession of words
thoughts, and from the thoughts,
full fellowship with all aspiring
minds, what is not impossible? If
the air is full of things unheard,
why may not space be filled with
things unseen, and why may not
"the forms of the departed" "enter
through the open door" when
science has pried it open?
What show it is, the phantas-
magoria that the curious mind of
man has made out of rather sim
pie old world that our grandfathers
knew When we can cali old Ben
Franklin up on the phone, how we
shall jolly the old man for sending
that key up on the kite to bring
down the Tightening from the clouds.
He surely unlocked Pandora's box
of grief and trouble and amazement
with the old key William Allen
White in Judge.

New Method for Daylight Saving

Washington, Monday tried out
the plan of saving daylight by gett-
ing up and going to work an hour
earlier without advancing the clock
and found that, contrary to general
predictions, 1t worked pretty well.
There was some confusion, but
not on the scale that was feared in
some quarters after President Hard
ing's request order went out to ex-
ecute departments to start work at
s instead of O'Clock. Some persons
missed suburban trains which ran
an hour earlier and many were un-
decided whether to eat unch at II
or IL O'Clock,
School children disliken the idea
Of going to school at s o'clock and
the Republican representative from
California, the father of two sets Of
twins, introduced a bin in the house
to make it misdemeanor for the
board of education or other authori-
ties to compel children under the
age of IA years to attend school in
the District of Columbia before 9
O'Clock eastern standard time
President Harding and members
of the cabinet followed the new
schedule, but congress, apparently
still fearful of the wrath of the far
mers as shown when nationwide
daylight saving act was passed sever
al years ago, would have nothing to
do with the idea and the supreme
court decided to uphold the prece-
dent of meeting at high noon, as
established when that august trib-
unal first convened more than a
century and quarter ago
