A Labor Savino Wat.?When Mrs. De Smith left her upper West Side apartment for a fortnight's visit with her parents in Massachusetts she had serious misgivings about the care of her chief domestic joy. a fine collection of palms and rubber plants, says the New York Sun. Her husband had promised to water them faithfully, but she was not Inclined to take chances, so she wrote a number of signs, in Arm. clear chlrography: "Do not forget to water the plants." These she tacked In conspicuous places, above his shaving mirror, on the shade of his reading lamp, above the telephone. On reaching home last week she took a hasty survey of the apartment. Not a fern, palm or rubber plant was in sight. "fTea, wnai nave you uouo mm my plants? Oh. I Just know you let them burn up." Without a word her husband led her to the bath room. There, packed closely together in the tub, with water all about them to the depth of several Inches, were her plants. "It was lots easier than watering them every day" exclaimed the man, triumphantly. '1 took 'em out every morning while I bathed. Great scheme, wasn't It?" "Yes, my dear, provided the water hasn't rotted away their roots." His wife smiled In spite of her anxiety. One on Obn. Brruste.?The late Gen. Benjamin F. Butler according to the Boston Herald, told the following on himself: "Several years after the war the general had occasion to visit Georgia, and from a town on the railroad took a two-seated, ramshackle vehicle, driven by a typical southern darky, for his place of destination. The general began a conversation with the driver, and learned that he was one of eleven boys and that he had a twin brother. He asked the driver his name. "Abraham Lincoln Backus." was the reply. "A fine, noble name," said the general. The driver was quiet for a moment, then suddenly said: "What you think dat twin bruder's name is?" 'T have no idea," said the general. "His name Is Benjamin F. Butler Backus." The general appreciated the compliment and was thinking it over when the driver added: "Boss, I was always glad dat I was born fust." Proof For Ool. Crown ins hi eld.?

New? and Comment Clipped From Neighboring Exchange!. CHESTER. Lantern, Sept. 5: We have heard a great deal about the cabbage snake and were shown one Friday evening by Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Dunbar which was found In a head of cabbage that was being prepared for dinner. In slae it was no larger than a strand of No. 8 thread and was thirteen Inches long. It was a whitish color and was constantly coiling and knotting itself up in the small bowl of water in which they had it. There was no head visible to the naked eye but one end showed much more life than the other end. which was tapering. If they are as poison as they are said to'be, Mr. Dunbar feels that they made a very narrow escape, as the cook was just giving the cabbage a last shake of the wash water before putting It In the pot when the snake dropped out.

A telegram received here Sunday from Jacksonville, Florida, announced the death of Mr. Fred C. Lemmond, eldest son of our townsman. Mr. W. D. Lemmond, which occurred In that city that morning. The unexpected sad news was a terrible shock to the family. The telegram gave no details, but as his father had had no notice of his illness the supposition is that his death was quite sudden. Only a few weeks ago he was here on a visit and was ap- j Iparently enjoying excellent health. Fred was about.thirty-one years of age and Is survived by his father, three brothers and five sisters. His remains were Interred at Jacksonville. CHEROKEE. Gaff nay Ledger, September 5: The Cherokee County Cotton Growers' association met In the court house yesterday morning at 11 o'clock, President R. C. Sarratt In the chair. The meeting was largely attended and was most enthusiastic. The enrollment was Increased considerably. The subject of a warehouse was discussed at length. It was the opinion that a warehouse was a necessity. The committee appointed to look Into the advisability of a warehouse read a proposition from Mr. A. N. Wood, who offered to store the cotton. Insure !t and protect it In every way for 25 cents the first month and 20 cents for every subsequent month, of he would rent the warehouse to the association for $360 a year. The association thought It best to own Its own warehouse so. by resolution. Messrs. W. Sam Lipscomb. R. C. Sarratt, J. ?. Sarratt, G. W. Bonner and E. J. Clary were appointed corporators with authority to secure from the secretary of state a commission authorizing the erect on of a warehouse capitalized at $5,000. This committee was authorized to make a trade with Mr. Wood, If suitable terms could be secured, for protecting the distressed cotton at once. By a unanimous vote Mr. Sam Lipscomb, a member of the executive committee, which meets at Ashevllle, N. C., tomorrow for the purpose of fixing a minimum price for cotton, was authorized to recommend that 12J cents be set up >n as the minimum price at which the staple Is to be sold.

GASTON. Gastonia Gazette, Sept. 5: Little Embry, son of Mr. C. V. Flte, and grandson of Mr. H. ?. Adams, was badly scalded by hot water early Friday morning. He had just got out of bed and gone to the Icitchen where his grandmother had Just set down a pint cup of hot water on the table. The little fellow, as her back was turned, reached up and pulled It over. Through his thin night dr?ss the hot water scalded his chest and stomach whereever It touched, making a painful but. It Is hoped, not a dangerous burn A little ten-year-old boy named Thomas Lowranoe was drowned In the mill race at Tuckaseege about 9 o'clock Saturday morning. He was a widow's son and was a night hand In the mill. Some companions swam across the race and were hunting muscadines on the island. Not knowing how to swim, the little Lowrance boy remained In a boat that was chained to the bank. His companions called to him to carry their clothes to a point 50 or 100 yards below. He did as requested and returned to the boat. This is the last they knew of him alive. It Is said some other boys were playing about the bank there later. About nightfall his mother became alarmed and search was made. His little cap was found lodged in the race. The water was drawn off, drags were used and divers went earnestly to work. About 7 o'clock a drag caught his clothing and brought the body up. There were no marks of violence and no Inquest was held. It Is supposed that In paddling the boat around or rocking It, or while reaching out after a floating pumpkin, or while sitting quietly dozing off to sleep, he had fallen over board The dead body of a negro man was found early Sunday morning on the fill at the Trenton mill by a little white boy named George Mauney. The matter was soon noised abroad and a crowd was not long In gathering. The body was that of a small man, about 25 years old and weighing perhaps 135 pounds. He lay on the north side of the fill near the bottom of the embankment. head downward, with one arm under his body and one crossed above w H.la left eve was badly bruised and blood shot and swollen, his right Jaw was broken, and the ground beneath his head was stained with blood from his mouth. He wore a blue overall Jacket, and dark gray pants that were worn. Coroner W. N. Davis requested the following gentlemen to act as Jurors: A. R. Anders, foreman; Ralph Rankin. B. F. A. Austin, B'.ake Boyd. J. W. Kldd, John McLean, Jr. They were unable to Identify the body or to ascertain the cause of death and rendered a verdict that the cause was unknown to the Jury. An empty pay envelope In his pocket contained no Information except "John Miller, $2.85" written upon It. This body was found In almost the exact spot where an unknown negro tramp was found crushed under a freight wreck four or five years ago. The tramp was burled by the railroad company on the right of way a few yards distant from the wreck. The body found Sunday was burled In the potter's field at the county's expense. The man was apparently struck by or hurled from a train going south Saturday night as there were indications that he had struck the ground near the end of the cross-ties and tumbled along the track and thence down the embankment, all so quickly that no blood marks were left. AN UNNOTICED WAR. An Expansive On* in Which the World Is Taking No Interest. The world has heen so busily engaged In watching the larger activities In Manchuria that It has almost forgotten Germany's little campaign against Its rebellious subjects In southwest Africa. It Is, 'nevertheless, an Interesting little quarrel, and not without Instructive features. The Herero revolt began In January, 1904. By May of that year Germany had 6,000 troops engaged In trying to suppress It. Up to the present time she has sent out, all told, nearly 14,000 men. The Berlin correspondent of the London Times reports to his paper that 59 officers have been killed In action, while the casualties In t*e ranks are given as 1,194, Including non-commlssloned officers. In addition to these, 238 men have been sent home permanently Invalided. The pecuniary cost to Germany up to the present time has been ?bout $60,000,000. And the end Is not yet. The German army Is getting a little experience of the same sort that England has had 'n northern India, In the Soudan and with the blacks of South Africa. The German war office Is not extensively advertising the activities of the campaign, and it Is Intimated that there Is no disposition to boast of the military achievements. There are unofficial rumors, amounting almost to direct charges, that the British people In Cape Colony and Bechuanaland are going to aid the Herero Insurgents. Such assertions are most unreasonable. With 5,000,000 blacks In her own south African possessions, England could take no more dangerous step than that of giving either aid or encouragement to *he blacks In the immediate neighborhood. Herero success would almost Inevitably lead to unrest among the blacks of the entire region, .and possibly to a serlous^ uprising. The struggle Is one of great difficulty for soldiers trained after the German fashion. We are unable to say how much of the area Is covered by the hostilities, but German Southwest Africa Is a vast barren wilderness of nearly 325,000 square miles, with a population of about 200,000 blacks, whose ability to Jump from bush to bush and hill to hill is decidedly greater than that of the German soldiery. When the struggle began it was reported that the Hereros were well armed and well supplied with ammunition. Presumably they are not yet destitute of guns and bullets. But their strongest card Is played In wearing out their opponents by drawing them Into regions where they will succumb to privation and disease. Had there been no war In Manchuria we should probably have heard more of this $60,000,000 tussle, which has lasted twenty months, with no clear signs of an early termination. Anent "Pop Goes the Weasel." How many people know the meaning of the words, "Pop goes the weasel" In the song? Many of us have probably regarded them as a meaningless tag, having some dim Cockney bearing on the animal. Such a bearing they have, but In an unexpected way. A writer In "Notes and Queries" affirms that the words refer to a purse made of weasel skin which opened and closed with a snap. This brings the line out of Irrelevant jargon Into the main "Up and down the City Road, In and out the Eagle, That's the way the money goes? Pop goes the weasel." The "popping" or snapping of the purse Is declared to be the equivalent of "Bang went sixpence." But this explanation is not, perhaps, so Inherently probable as another which makes "weasel" a slang term for silver plate, prize cups, etc.? articles which as the result of gadding in the City Road, were pawned, or "popped." The idea Is repeated in a story of an Islington tailor who through frequenting the Eagle, had to pop his "weazel," an Instrument used In the cutting of cloth. Whatever the weasel may have been the song went round the world, and many a boy In far-off Brazil or Ceylon received his first idea of London's streets In its reference to the City Road. The remains of the Grecian theatre, where the song was first sung, disappeared only four or five years ago.?London Globe. MOST EXCLU8IVE CITY. i I Charleston, 8. C., Like No Other Town i on the Globe. Charleston Is without doubt the most j exclusive city In America. It gives nothing out to the stranger beyond 1 Its physical beauty and tempered climate. . One keen observer said of it: "It has only one equal?a Oerman principality, where almost every one is noble and all Intermarried. Other places and social codes exist, of course ?New York, Chicago. Denver?but for Charleston." A small child of that city was asked where Charleston was placed. Proudly she said: "It is between the Cooper and the Ashley rivers which Join and form the ocean." When the Bostonlan speaks grandly of the Mayflower, the Huguenot of Charleston smiles. He is remembering that Jean Rlbaut landed a Huguenot emigrant In Port Royal flfty-eight years before the Puritans landed In Massachusetts bay. Charleston was settled by aristocrats from France, and later from England?men who came from the court and wore the garments and spoke the language of the world's highest circle, i Like New Orleans, it sprang Into life as a cultured community. When the Phlladelphian speaks serenely of the Liberty Bell, the Charlestonlan smiles and remembers that In 1756 South Carolina took the first step for the continental union, and that In Charleston was formulated the first Independent constitution In any of the colonies; also that she furnished three signers of the Declaration of Independence?Arthur Mlddleton, Thomas Hayward and Thomas Lynch, Jr. The Charleston negro who belongs to "the quality" shares and echoes his master's pride of birth and social tradition. A certain northern woman who was kindly received in Charleston gave a large ball. She asked this colored man to carry the Invitations for her. In looking over the list he made several suggestions concerning people who should be crossed out and those who should be put on. The northern woman asked if he was quite sure he knew where all these people lived. His answer was delightful; "Madam," he said, "if there is any person in Charleston who lives where I don't know, that person shouldn't be Invited to your ball." The first evidence of social quaintness in the town Is the way the first families live. Here comes the strain of French blood. The venerable houses are placed among dense foliage; the side, never the front, of the house facing the street. In this side are the parlor and upper bed-room windows, which are never open to the public streets, but covered with wooden shutters. Instead of a front door bell to ring there is a small gate with a bell. This you tinkle and a servant lets you in. There is a long piazza running the full side length of the house, which Is often used as a sitting ' room. The piazza Is usually protected by jalousie blinds. If the formal caller finds it deserted he Is shown Into the reception room, with closed shutters, but in the warm days all Informal entertaining Is done on the piazza, Charleston's manners, society and behavior in drawing room, ball room and street are those of 'an older and l more elegant world. Why should we change? The girls In all other parts of the south may go unchaperoned to balls, but she does not allow her girls a Hn It Valthor Hnofl tho ataIuiIva Phlladelphian or the Knickerbocker of New York. Other clubs use their windows as lounging places for the curious, where idle men may sit and stare at the parade of women who pass on the street Charleston considers this vulgar. Promoters can talk all they wish, but charm they never so wisely they can't persuade the Charlestonlan to welcome with delight a horde of unidentified tourists. Cottages are rented here and there for writers and artists and quiet people, but Charleston shakes her head when approached on the subject of huge hotels which will accommodate the man with millions from the swarming centres of America?Anne Rlttenhouse, in Ainslee's Magazine. HE MADE NO REPORT. Fat* of a Detective Who Was a Candidate For Ku Klux Klan. An ex-Confederate soldier who served In the southern army with distinguished gallantry was telling a group in the Rlggs House some interesting stories of the days that followed the surrender of Lee. "I went to Memphis to live," he said, "after Appomattox, and was one of those who helped organize the Ku Klux Klan. I have never been ashamed of my connection with that celebrated organization for It did a tremendous lot of good in Tennessee. Gen. N. B. Forrest, the greatest cavalry chief who ever rode Into battle, was supreme commander of the K. K. K. and whenever Forrest Issued an order it was obeyed to the letter. The order had a supreme court, of which Gen. Albert Pike, the Illustrious Mason, was chief Justice, and this court always sifted testimony for and against any accused person before punishment was Inflicted. Two prominent newspaper editors of Memphis were also members of the court. The total membership In the regularly organized Ku Klux Klan of Tennessee was not less than 72.000, and never In the history of the world were men more closely banded or more loyal to each other. "I was a member of the 'klan' for at least five years, and my separation from it was caused by a change of residence. In that time I am positive that the sentence of death was inflicted upon but three men, which goes to show that the Ku Klux did not mete out summary vengence on small offenders. Nor were its members, except in rare instances, citizens of low repute. On the contrary. only men of good character were invited to Join, and Gen. Forrest was particular In seeing that only those of rllonrutinn a nH lomnoralo hahlta u'orp made members. "But Tennessee, at the time of the existence of the Ku Klux, was In Radical hands. Scalawags and carpetbaggers ruled the land to its sorrow, and Parson Brownlow, then governor, had. n law passed which made it a capital offense for any man to be convicted of ku kluxing or of belonging to the order. He even Imported detectives from Chicago, who were Instructed to find out all about the mysterious band which sent forth Its warnings In letters ornamented with skulls and crossbones and daggers, and whose doings struck terror to the hearts of white and black miscreants alike. "One of these detectives came on to Narhville. He was a bright fellow and imbltlous to make a record. Brownlow gave him his orders, and he set aut to discover things by pretending to be a rabid southerner, who was keenly anxious to become a K. K. K. Gen. Forrest learned all about the man and his plans, and gave It out that he Rhould be taken through a mock initiation which would reveal nothing of the real Ku Klux secrets. After this bogus ceremony the spy was told he was eligible to a second degree, which would reveal to him many secrets. This he took, and a rough ceremony It was. but the fellow went through It gamely. Then they told him that there was still one more degree? the third?which would make him a full-fledged member, with a knowledge of the workings and mysteries of the Klan. He was warned that this third degree was full of difficulties and considerable personal hardship. Wanting to make Brow ilow a full report the spy begged to be allowed to take It. This was the climax to which events had been tending. The third degree, weird and tragical, had for its main feature Lilt? llllpi imsimaviai ui a iiiw. rel of stalwart construction and so securely sealed up that deliverance was Impossible for the victim, and the tossing of the same Into the Cumberland river. "A few days later the barrel, with a badly decomposed corpse Inside, was fished out of the Mississippi river, and never afterward did a candidate for Initiation, with ulterior purposes, try to break Into the Ku Klux Klan."?

With her husband and Mr. and Mrs. James Price Mrs. Wright has been encamped on Cable Mountain, a wild and little frequented peak of the San Bernardino mountains. To attest her prowess with the small bore rifle, the lady now has as mementos of her trip the hides of a mountain lion and three wildcats, all killed by her own hand. The Wright camp for several nights had been a perfect bedlam with the shrirks of wild animals of the cat kind. Mrs. Wrlrht made up her mind to see what was making the racket, and the night of the eclipse, while her husband and Mr. Price were off on a Ashing trip, she climbed a tree, with her rifle and plenty of cartridges, found a comfortable crotch from which she could command a hundred yards of the trail and began her long vigil. She did not have long to wait. Just as the moon was eclipsed a great gray body came before her sights, and the rifle cracked. It might have been a stray burro?but It wasn't. The thing lumped convulsively, thrashed around In the brush a few minutes and all was still. Mrs. Wright stayed In her tree, and In half an hour a smaller creature started to cross the path. Again the Ittle gun cracked, *ad victim No. 2 struck out for the brush. The lady remained on her perch until the return of her husband and his companion, when search was begrun for j the bodies of the animals. The Hon was quite dead, and perished where It fell, the cat had dragged ltsalf off Into the brush a few rods, but was stiff and cold when found. Mrs. Wright had done her work well. ' Stimulated to further efforts by her success Mrs. Wright went out again later and added another pair of wildcats to her collection of "varmints," of which any man hunter might well be proud.?San Bernardino Cor. to Los Angeles Times. tw "If I should attempt to kiss you," asked the young man, "would you scream for your mother?"
