tumorous gapartment. WHAT THE SI6N SAID. A store in One Hundred and Twentyfirst street, with a laudable desire to satisfy customers, had the following sign painted and hung in several conspicuous places: "Money refunded, or you can exchange for anything in the store." The regular customers nodded approvingly when they saw this, as the rule of the house had previously'been that no goods could be exchanged. The first day that the signs were up several sums of money were refunded. When the store opened the next morning the signs were gone, and a literary man was engaged to write one less ambiguous. There was a reason for this. Late in the afternoon of the day the signs were used, a young man from downtown DOUgnt a pair 01 ou-ceni suspenuers 111 the store, and a few minutes afterwards approached a floorwalker and said they were unsatisfactory. "Very well," said the floorwalker, affably. "Do you wish your money back?" "No," replied the purchaser. "I be- ( - lleve I'll exchange." "Just as you please," said the downfloorwalker. "Will you have another pair of suspenders?" "I think not; I'll just look around and let you know when I And some- , thing that suits me." In less than half an hour the downtown young man called the floorwalker 1 to a counter and said, "That's what I want; those with the silver backs." And he pointed out an expensive toilet set, whicn comprised military brushes, silver mug and shaving brush, razor, manicure set, soap box, and a fine leather case to keep them In. 1 "But you are Joking," said the floorwalker. They are worth 20 pairs of | suspenders." 1 "I can't help that," replied the other. "I'm taking you at your word. There's your sign, 'Money refunded, or you can exchange for anything in the store.' < This is the 'anything' that suits me." They wrangled for a while, and the proprietor was called. He read the sign several times, and then said, "You are a very bright young man. It's on us. this time." Turning to the floorwalker, he said, "Make the exchange as he desires and haul down those signs before he has time to buy anything else." Merchants cannot be too careful of ' the use of this wonderful and complex 1 language of ours. ' < TWO SHORT STORIES. The Piscatorial Prevaricators' asso- 1 elation was in session. "I was Ashing for cod off the banks ' one day some years ago," said one, ^ "when I dropped my watch overboard. The next year I went fishing at the 1 same place. I caught a whooping big ' fellow and found my watch inside of ] him. It was running steadily, the ac- i tion of the fish's liver having kept it wound up. But it was five hours fast. , The only way that I can account for it , is that the fish crossed the Atlantic, j staid on the other side long enough to | get the time over there, and that I caught him soon after he got back and before he had time to allow the watch I to regulate itself." ' "I was fishing for trout in Pennsyl- 1 vania last fall," said another member, 1 "in company with my nephew, who is an inveterate cigarette smoker. We ( landed a ten pounder and allowed him to flounder in the bottom of the boat , while we cast again, because they were j biting freely. My nephew had just thrown a lighted cigarette in the boat, and in some way the trout got it, put it between his gills and smoked it. The i cigarette seemed to have a soothing ef- 1 feet on him. I brought the trout home, taught him to smoke a pipe, and when i we killed him Christmas I served up to my guests something that I believe has never been served up before?selfsmoked trout. It was great, too." Victim of an Awful Calamity.?"It came out as I journeyed on horseback through Dakota that almost every settler's land was under mortgage," said a Westerner, "and one day when I came upon a pioneer seated on the grass by the roadside, with a troubled look on his face. I asked him if it was the mortgage that he was worrying about. " 'Wuss than that, stranger,' he replied, as he looked up wearily. " 'Sickness or death in the family?' " 'Wuss than that.' ' 'Then it must be a calamity, indeed. You didn't lose family and home by a prairie fire?' " 'Nope; but you are right about its being a calamity. I've been tryin' to think of that word for two hours past. Yes, sir; you can put it down as an awful calamity.' " 'But won't you explain?' I persisted. " 'I will, sir. Thar was a mortgage on the claim, and I was feelin' as big as any of my neignbors, and takin' things easy, when my wife was left $600. Stranger, dare I tell you what she did with that money?' " 'She didn't lose it?' " 'No, sir. She jest paid that mortgage, bought two horses and a plough, and this morning I was bounced out of my cabin bekase I wouldn't peel off my coat and go to work! Yes, sir, you are right. It's a calamity?a calamity that's landed me on the outside, and between my durned pride and her blamed spunk, somebody'll be eatin' grass before Saturday night!' " The Countess of Ayr.?At a dance in ine country a guaea youin iroin town was complaining that there was nobody fit to dance with. "Shall I introduce you to that young lady over there?" asked his hostess. She is the daughter of the Countess of Ayr." Delighted, the young man assented, and, after waltzing with the fair scion of a noble house, ventured to ask after her mother, the Countess of Ayr. "My father, you mean," said the girl. "No, no, no," said the bewildered youth, "I was asking after your mother, the Countess of Ayr." "Yes," was the reply, "but that's my father." Utterly at a loss, the young man rushed off in search of his hostess and said the girl she had made him dance with was "quite mad; told him the Countess of Ayr was her father." "So he Is," answered the lady of the house. "Let me introduce you to him. Mr. So-and-so, Mr. Smith, the county surveyor."?London Chronicle.

["here are some parents who will, un3ltatlngly correct their children for ?lr misdemeanors In the presence of npany. They argue that If a child Ifully misbehaves before strangers, is but Just that he should be punishbefore them. I think this a very ive mistake. Children should, un-. iibtedly, received correction for their d behavior, but It should certainly Inflicted in private. Owing to a *am/4 1 A rtlr nP DAtt on lu ? iruuci y cai a auu iaviv ui ocuo^i ich charity should be allowed for his )rtcomlngs, and too great severity >uld be avoided in his discipline. At hazards, a pride of character should stimulated and preserved In childi. And the humiliation of having angers witness their punishment Is itructive of such pride. The school i, after receiving his first whipping school, never has the same pride as 'ore. He assumes a reckless, I-don't~ e air to hide his humiliation, but his de receives a blow from which it rer recovers.

Again the mother >ostulated, with more severity. The Id was so embarrassed that she was able to speak. "You naughty girl," d the mother sternly, ' I shall punish 1 for such behavior." Taking the ;le one by the arm, she led her to a set and shut her in it. How slight s that child's breach of etiquette, npared with the mother's impoliteis in having such a scene before visrs, not to speak of her unwise mode correction. The pleasure of our call s marred, and for the sake of the le child in the closet, we made a oVinrf of air >n another occasion while dining ;h a friend, her 6-year-old boy acted y impolitely at the table.

'he question "is often asked: Which the better time to set out trees, ihe ing or the fall? he answer to tnis must depend upthe nature of the tree or shrub, the t of the country, condition of soil 1 climate where the planting is to done. 'or example, in the extreme north or in prairie country where the thermeter may go extremely low, and, at is worse, where harsh, drying ids may prevail most of the win, all but the hardiest trees are deedly safer planted in the spring n In FVio foil f, however, plenty of roots are taken, 1 what Is even perhaps of more im tance, a goodly lot of soil is taken :h the roots, allowing no undue exture of them to the air, a tree well nted in the fall is perfectly safe. Lids to success will consist in evenly tributing the roots in the new earth, jompresslng soil wel^about the roots, 1 if the trees are large enough to be ed upon by the wind, in placing y wires to keep them snug in place, inother famous aid is to mulch with hay or long, litery manure or ves, which prevent a lifting of the 1 and the penetration of the frost i deep therein. n warm countries, where the frosts ount to nothing, the fall is the time plant just as soon as the planis ye come to a state of rest, lere root action at once sets in to relr the damages of removal, and by i time springtime comes the newly inted trees are fuly equipped for a v start. lurserymen of the North usually reve the planting of their young stuff til spring?a pretty good evidence of ere success lies. ls stuff has to be dug or is received m outside sources in the fall, inad of being replanted at once they s "laid in by the heels;" that is, they > placed in rows in the ground, nearhorizontal instead of upright, where ;y are easily protected, if necessary, a few boughs to keep off the drying ids of winter.?Exchange.

News and Comment That Is of More or Lesi Local Interest. CHESTER?Lantern?August 31: Mrs. L. T. Nichols and children, and Miss Leila Davidson returned last night from Blowing Rock Oliver Walker, who killed Tom Scott Saturday night, surrendered to the sheriff Wednesday morning and now occupies a room in the jail The Rev. James Boyce, president of the Due West female college, came in yesterday morning, and is in the county in the interest of his institution Mr. Thomas Hyatt, of the New Hope neighborhood, died Tuesday, aged about 87 years. His death was the result of Injuries received from a fall a few days before. Mr. Hyatt joined the Methodist church some two years ago. He had been living in the neighborhood perhaps 65 years Mr. and Mrs. James Hemp hill returned last night from Catawba Springs Colonel Hoyt received 577 votes in Charleston. Undoubtedly there are more than that number of prohibitionists and personal friends of Colonel Hoyt in the city. But of course, some of these are also personal friends of other candidates and voted for them on this account, so that it must have been only the most ardent of the prohibitionists and his friends that voted for him. There is no room therefore for the barkeepers among his supporters. But suppose all these 577 voters were representatives of the liquor element; who got the votes of the others? Dispensary candidates declared that there were 600 open barrooms in Charleston. Of course, several persons were connected with each of these, and these again represent only a small fraction of the liquor men of the city. For whom did the others vote? Of course, everybody can see where the liquor vote went, but we just want to nail securely that "unholy alliance" slander, and emphasize the unreliability of demagogues. GAST(5n?Gastonia News?August 31: Prof. L. C. Glenn arrived from New York Wednesday, where he has been engaged in making a government geological survey in the southwestern part of the state.

UNION?Times?August 31: Last Saturday evening a severe flash of lightning struck the telephone and electric wires, and burnt out some phones and transformers. The phones were promptly attended to, and it was supposed, of course, that the electric light people had looked into the effect of the flash upon their wires. But it seems that was not done, carefully at least. On Sunday night the people began to gather at the Methodist church as it had been announced in The Times that regular services would be resumed: but the situation can be better imagined than described, when they congregated around the church door, and were informed that the transformer that conducts the current from the pole to the church had been burned out, and there was no light. The church looked dismal and dark inside, and the people continued to arrive from every direction until a goodly congregation had assembled in front of the church where they discussed the situation, and some of the remarks were not flattering to the electric light people. The question is: why did not the electric light people test these transformers, and see that they were in working order before Sunday night? There was something of a storm out near the Buffalo mills Thursday evening of last week, which blew down a number of trees, und also wrecked a gin house on Col. T. C. Duncan's plantation. The roof of me pumping station was aiso oiown on. The wind was also accompanied by a very heavy rain We understand that there are three men in this county who worked the dead beat game for all it was worth during the campaign. They would approach a candidate at meal time and unblushingly ask for a ticket for each to the barbecue dinner, promising to vote for the candidate approached. We understand that they followed the candidates from place to place all over the county with possibly two exceptions. Sometimes the candidate would give them the cold shoulder, and they would unhesitatingly go to another candidate with the same proposition to sell their vote for a dinner at the barbecue table. One candidate who had got enough of it said no, I have fed you three times and I am getting tired of it. Unabashed they marched off to No. 2 and were told if they had no more interest in the election than to get a barbecue dinner they had better stay at home. How a white man can become so degraded, and stoop so low as to deliberately offer to sell his vote, and sell it for a barbecue dinner, is beyond our comprehension, and we are indeed sorry, and it is with a blush of shame we acknowledge that our county contains men so lost to the sense of honor and manhood as to be guilty of such contemptible practice. Every candidate should scorn ( such men and let them know without a moment's hesitation, how contemptible they appear in their sight. A man of such caliber and character is not 1 worthy of dependence and should be : disfranchised if such a thing was possible. For pity sake, be a man when you go to a campaign meeting, or forever stay at home. Do not go and make yourself an object of contempt i and disgust in the eyes of men. Be sure you are spotted, and well known when you show your face in a crowd, and it will follow you to your grave. i It is a fine legacy indeed, to hand down to your children There was one scrap between two men at the rear of ! t'h? nrmrt hnnaA Thev wprp n littlp too enthusiastic over their candidates and an argument soon became personal, resulting in one calling the other i a liar. This the other one said was something he had never taken off of any one, and he waded in and knocked his opponent down, who was consider' ably under the influence of liquor, ' jumped astraddle of him and beat his ' face up pretty badly before he was ' pulled off A few days ago a little rag-a-muffln, one of the most notorious . little thieving Negroes in the town, entered the former office of The Vindi. cator and stole a number of column i rules, among other things, and was i making his way to the junk shop to i dispose of them as old brass, etc. He ' was arrested and tried and sentenced to pay a fine of $5 or work 10 days on > the.gang. He took the days, of course, remarking with a whistle after the sen-, i tence, "how light." The little scoundrel was no doubt expecting a much heav, ier sentence, which he knew he richly I deserved. It has developed that a short while ago this same little Negro stole ' a keg partially filled with bolts and sold them to a party in this town. The i point we wish to make is that any person buying such things from a boy, especially one of this character, lays himself liable for receiving stolen goods. It is ridiculous for one to claim that he had no suspicion that such articles are stolen. What man of or- ? dinary intelligence could for a moment 1 think this boy came honestly by a keg , of bolts, or a dozen column rules be- 1 , longing to a printing office. A word j to the wise should be sufficient. YORK?Rock Hill Herald?September 1: Miss Bessie McConnell, of Yorkville,' is visiting Miss Alta Fewell. Mrs. H. C.

The office Is I supplied twice each week from Rock ^ Hill, the carrying days being Wednes- ' day and Saturday. It is the expectation that a postoffice will also be established along the same line at the home of Mr. J. R. Westbrook The proposition has been made that on account of prejudice in the central and western sections of York against Catawba township candidates especially, the voters of this city and township should take no interest whatever in any future primary. It is certain that it does seem that the only right we have in this township is to elect candidates from other sections to office and pay taxes , to support them; but things are not so bad as they really seem. It is true that f Mr. Stewart was slayed at every box in the county except at Rock Hill and Fort Mill, and Mr. Boyd suffered the same fate except at Rock Hill and I Coates' Tavern, while the home box of Mr. Hull voted against him, as did Antioch, McConnellsville, Ebenezer, Fort Mill, Newport and Tlrzah on the eastthe pnnntv while in the cen tral and western sections he carried ' Yorkville, Bethel, Clover, Bullock's Creek, Hickory Grove and Smyrna, As between Mr. Hull and Mr. Haile the former lost all but seven boxes in the county, while the latter had a majority of votes at 12 boxes. Mr. Haile was evidently the choice of the eastern and western sections of the county, and we cheerfully acquiesce in the result, knowing as we do that ir. the selection of Mr. Halle the county has chosen wisely.
