WITH NEIGHBORING EXCHANGES. Notes and Comments About Matters of Local Interest. Gaffney Ledger, September 23: A pretty home wedding was solemnized in this city Wednesday evening when Dr. Clarence David Jacobs of Kings .1 nine Dor.no T v-.il \V!llrln? nf LI cr, UIIU 1*1 too Uaiuid T. ........ this city, were united in the holy bonds of matrimony Dr. Wiliam Fort is no more. The end came yesterday morning and was a shock to family and friends, notwithstanding the fact that he had been in failing health for the past four years, and for the past few months critically ill. because he was sitting up yesterday morning and the grim reaper called while he was reclining in his chair. William Acrill Fort was born in Wake county, N. C., in 1842, and was therefore sixty-nine years of age. He was a descendant of one of the original Huguenot families that settled in the Carolinas. He entered Trinity college early in life, but his studies were interrupted by the war between the states, he entering the service of the Confederate army and serving throughout the conflict. After the war he entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Baltimore, from which institution he was graduated with honor For some time It has been rumored in Gaffney and Cherokee county that a new bank was to be established in this city but until Tuesday no definite information had been obtained by the press. On Tuesday Mr. J. E. Brockman of Greer, was in the city, completing the plans of those who are at the head of the movement and speaking to a Ledger reporter stated that the bank would be opened on October 15th, or there abouts. The institution will be located in the building now occupied by Mr. A. W. Doggett in the Settlemyer building on Robinson street and will be known as the Cherokee Savings Bank. The bank is capitalized at $25,000 and has as its president, Mr. P. C. Poole of Greer. Mr. Brockman will be the cashier, while none of the other officers have yet been decided upon. Chester Lantern, September 22: Mrs. Rebecca Moore Hardin, wife of Mr. William Henry Hardin, died early Wednesday morning at her home on Wylie street. Mrs. Hardin was the oldest daughter of the late Dr. T. W. Moore, and was 76 years of age. She is survived by the following sisters: Miss Fannie Moore of Chester; Mrs. H. M. Ross and Miss Ida Moore of Bascomville; and Mrs. C. B. Sarvis of Horry county. She is also survived by her husband and the following children and grandchildren: Mrs. Bessie H. Brice, Miss Annie Hardin, Edward H. Hardin, and William James and Misses Kitty and Rebecca James. 1,800 bales of cotton have been received and weighed at the public weigher's platform in this city from this year's crop to date. This is considerably ahead of the receipts for this time last year. Usually from 18,000 to 20,000 bales of cotton are marketed on this market every year, but the receipts this year will fall considerably below this figure on account of the shortness of the crop Eleven box cars of a freight train jumped the track of the Southern railroad near Winnsboro on Tuesday, tearing up the track for a distance of three hundred yards. Fortunately no one was hurt in the wreck. It was midnight before the wreck was cleared and traffic resumed. The northbound passenger train due here at 5.28, did not arrive until 1 a. m., and No. 27 remained here until the wreck was cleared. No. 32, the fast Southern flyer, was detoured eia Carlisle and came in over the Seaboard, some three hours late. A lot of Winthrop girls were tied up and It was midnight before they got away Tor Rock Hill. Trains were running Wednesday on schedule time Theodore Lyon, a young white boy, lust about grown, was arrested on the charge of vagrancy as he was seen loafing around the Wylie mills and when warned to leave refused to go. He was arrested and lodged in jail and this morning the sheriff communicated with the boy's mother in Savannah, Ga., and found that he was a young fellow of good family, who had left home to seek his way alone in the world. His mother wired him a ticket and he will be sent back home this evening. Instead of the desperate criminal, the boy was only another sufferer of the "wanderlust," who had tired of the restraints of home and wandered forth to seek his way alone. He is a young fellow of good appearance and his experience here will not likely be forgotten. MYSTERIOUS MEKRAN. A Desolated Land, Desiccated by Nature and Shunned by Man. "A mysterious veil has always hung over the land of Mekran," says the London Times. "Mekran is the name given to the long coastal region stretching almost from the Indus to the entrance to the Persian gulf. Sailors have coasted along its white shores from time immemorial, but few in modern days have ever penetrated the ranges of hills which lie beyond. The greater part of Mekran is desolate and forsaken, a land desiccated by nature and shunned by man. The few tribes which linger there are the jetsam of history, stray wreckage which has drifted into this obscure corner of the world in the backwash of great events. It is even believed that the Dravidlans passed through Mekran on their way to southern India and left stragglers, whose descendants have dwelt there ever since. There are patches of Mongols from the days of Jcnghiz Khan; colonels of half breed Arabs from the time when an Arab dynasty held Sind; unmistakable Rajputs, who were there before Alexander; African negroes, the offshoots of medieval slavery, and traces of still older peoples whose origins are lost in the mists of time. "Yet Mekran cannot always have been either dry or so deserted. Many of its hills are closely covered with little stone houses, mostly square at the base, narrowing upward like truncaieu pyramius, aim wun iiomi'shaped interiors. They are tombs, and among the rubbish found within them are fragments of light green pottery of line quality, which no one seems able to identify. Then there are vast masonry dams, obviously built to catch the water in the hills, just as engineers are making dams in the Indian ghauts today. "Sometimes the hills are terraced for cultivation, after the fashion of hills in southern Japan and elsewhere. only in Mekran the terraces ire dry and bare, and not even a lade of grass remains. The crumbing ruins of whole cities, the very names of which are forgotten, lie oncealed between the serrated ridges." WHAT KINGS CAN'T DO. Some Things In Which Monarch Is Powerless. One has read amazing accounts, more or less true, of the omnipotence of the king?how, for example, he could at a word disband his armies and leave the empire defenceless; or, In some freakish impulse, sell every warship that floats his flag. When he travels in foreign lands we are told that he can defy with impunity every law of the country whose , guest he is. He can refuse to pay his hotel hill or his railway fare; he can , (enter a bank and seize a bundle of , notes or break a jeweler's window and | fill his pockets with treasures of gold ( and jewels; and outraged law could ( only look on with tied hands. , But is the king really so far beyond , the reach of man-made laws? There ] is, as there always will be, another side to the shield; and there are lim- ( its beyond which he may not step. If, | for instance, a king assaults the mean- { est subject of a foreign country in j Which he is traveling, no law can pre- ( [vent the man from hitting back or punish him for acting In his own de- , fence, even against a crowned mon- , arch. If, too, the authorities have good j reason to conclude that the sovereign | intends to commit some offense against the law, they would be justified in placing him under restraint until his own government was communicated . with; and in an extreme case they would be entitled to ask him to leave , the country. If he were to commit a j grave abuse of hospitality they could | convey him beyond the frontier. And even in their own countries ( kings may not do just as they please, ( when their pleasure Involves a breach | of the law, as King George of Greece ( discovered not long ago. When it was , discovered that his dog license had not , been renewed, his majesty at once gave orders that the tax, as well as ( the customary tines, snouia ne paia ai | once?a spontaneous act by which he , recognized his duty equally to his laws , and himself. ] When the king of Italy found his way recently barred by a sentry, who , refused to allow him to pass, "king or | no king," Victor Emmanuel not only , took the rebuff with a smile and re- j traced his steps, as the least of his , subjects might have done, but the next day the faithful sentry received < from him a watch inscribed "To the , soldier who knows how to obey or- ] ders." ] Even In such a simple matter as a ( hobby or snort kings and queens have found that they can not always follow , their own sweet will. A few years ago, ] for instance, King Alfonso was told , by his ministers that he must not risk | his valuable life by motoring at reck- ( less speeds, as he was in the habit of , doing. "Very well," answered his ma- ( jest, quite humbly. "I will try to be more careful in the future." And , about the same time Queen Wilhelmi- { na of Holland, who was eager to learn j to ride a bicycle, was told emphatlcal- ( ly that she must do nothing of the ( kind, as bicycling might have unde- j sirable physical consequences. 1 Thus we see that there are limits to ( a sovereign's defiance of law and order ) abroad; and we shall find similar lim- ) itations in our own country. In some of his many characters King George enjoys few more privileges than his own subjects. At Grogmore, for instance, he is a tenant farmer, subject, like any other farmer, to all the conditions of his lease, to the payment of rent, and of such rates as are fixed by the local authorities. HJs very farm carts must proclaim his name and address to the world, as much as if he were plain John Smith. And as lords of Marlborough house our rulers have had for long years to contribute a good many hundreds yearly in the shape of rates to the parish of St. Martin. What would happen in the very remote event of his majesty refusing to pay rent and rates to observe the terms of his tenancy it is difficult to say, but at any rate the liability is beyond question. If the king wishes, in the interests of his privacy, to close a public footpath?such, for example, as the pathway across the royal park to Sandringham church, it is very doubtful whether he could do it. In a similar case, when Queen Victoria wished to close a path at Osborne, she could only have her way by coming to terms with the local authorities?terms which involved an echange of lands. Even in the exercise of his royal prerogative of granting pardons, the king's power is not absolute. He may save a score of murderers from the scaffold, but if any man breaks the law of Charles II against Sunday trading he would appeal in vain to his Illil.K'HlN lltl ICIICI, IUI IUC IMILf, MHO W" power to remit his fine. Nor can he send telegrams without paying for them, although the money, amounting to many hundreds a year, goes into his own exchequer?practically from one royal pocket into another. Such, then, are some of the limitations of the power of kings. As for princes, even when heir to the throne, . they are almost as amenable to the laws of the land as any other subject. They can be summoned as witnesses, figure as plaintiff or defendant in lawsuits, and, whether as householders or parents, or in any other role, must i observe all the laws affecting them in these characters. 1 Their position is even worse in , some respects than that of the lowest subjects, for they can not leave the country without the king's consent, nor can they follow the distates of their own hearts in the choice of wife or husband unless the king approves j their choice.?London Tit-Hits. j BULLIED THE CLUB. 1 A London Duelist Who Forced His ( Way Into Brooks'. It was a witty bishop who once de- ( fined a club as a place "where women ceased from troubling and the weary are at rest." Another amusing definition was that given by George Agustus Sala. "A club," said he, "is a weapon used by savaves to keep the J white women at a distance." Nowadays. however, as Ralph Nevill re marks in his hook, "Laidon Clubs," things are different. "Within the last twenty-five years or so the spirit of London club life has entirely changed. The old fashioned clubman, whose whole life was bound up with one or other of these institutions, is now practically extinct." Perhaps the most striking story which Mr. Nevill tells regarding Brooks' club is that concerning the famous duelist, CJeorge Robert Fitzgerald, who was executed for murder in 17X6. No first class London club would admit him. His name does not appear in the club list, though he must in a sort of way be regarded as hav- I ing belonged to the club. He was, J towever, in it only once, though it * vas his boast that he had been unan- a mously chosen a member. r Owing to Fitzgerald's well known t lucling propensities no first class Lon- 1 ion club would admit him. Never- i heless he got Admiral Keith Stewart, u vho knew that he must fight Fitz- t jerald or comply, to propose him for Brooks'. Accordingly the duelist went with he admiral on the day of the election :o the clubhouse and waited down- ' itairs while the ballot was In progress. ' The result, a foregone conclusion, ivas unfavorable to the candidate, not ?ven one white ball being among the flack, the admiral having been among he first to deposit his. Mr. Brooks eventually went to tell Fitzgerald, who ivas waiting in the hall, that there vas one black ball and that therefore lis candidature had failed. Thrusting aside Brooks, who probated that non-members might not en:er the clubrooms, Fitzgerald flew upstairs and entered the room. Walkng up to the fireplace, he thus adIressed Admiral Stewart. "So, my dear admiral, Mr. Brooks informs me that I have been elected :hree times." "You have been balloted for, Mr. Fitzgerald, but I am sorry to say you lave not been chosen," said Stewart. "Well, then," replied the duelist, "did I'ou blackball me?" "My good sir," answered the admiral, 'how could you suppose such a thing?" "Oh, I suppose no such thing, my Jear fellow. I only want to know who t was that dropped the black ball in by accident, as it were." Fitzgerald now went up to each In.lividua) member and put the same luestion to all in turn, "Did you blackball me, sir?" until he made the round :>f the whole club, and in each case he received a reply similar to that of the Ira 1 When he had finished his Investigations he thus addressed the whole body: "You see, gentlemen, that as none of you have blackballed me, I must be elected. It is Mr. Brooks who has made the mistake." After this nothing more was said by the members, who determined to ignore the presence of their dangerous visitor, svho drank three bottles of champagne in enforced silence, for no one tvould answer him when he spoke. I When he had gone it was agreed 'that half a dozen stout constables should be in waiting the next evening ( he attempted again to intrude, but Mr. i Fitzgerald, aware probably of the reception he might get, never did." Apropos of blackballing, Mr. Nevill uentions the greatest instance of ilackballing probably ever known, , ahich took place some years ago at a { adles' club, where one candidate re- I celved three more black balls than the ( lumber of members present?a case ] if excessive zeal indeed! t The practical joker is naturally not I jnknown in the most solemn of clubs, j ind "some irrepressible jokers have ] laid for their love of fun by having 1 :o resign their membership.

Water at Meals. There is a widespread idea that the mini or lmmning water or any uiiici duld as food is harmful, I believe it to re based on erroneous physiologic contusions and promulgated more by tradition ti.an by painstaking observa:ion, although copious draughts of ice vater gulped down during fatigue or profuse perspiration are both unhygienic and dangerous. I enlisted the lid of sixteen young men of good physique and good digestion, each one accustomed to drinking one or two glasses of water with his meals. Eight of ;hese young men were instructed to drink no water with meals and only vhat was demanded to satisfy thirst between meals for a week. The other eight were instructed to drink four glasses of water with each meal and jetween meals to drink it as was desired. Of the eight who drank no vater, all lost in weight from eight junces to two pounds, with one excep;ion, and he remained at exactly the same weight as before. Each one complained of headache and more or less Th? who drank 'our glasses at a meal fared much bet:er.
