Homicide In Lanreun.
John G. Wham killed L. W. Raraage at *
Simpson's Cross Roads. Laurens county, last 1
Thursday. The circumstances of the tragedy e
are ol a most shocking nature. Wham's 1
bouse is on one side of the road and on the
other side lives Thomas Simpson, a Confederate
veteran who has a large family. Miss <
Coleman, a sister-in-law of Wham, was visiting
at his house, and on Tuesday Miss Coleman
and Mrs, Wham went to Clinton on a n
visit. During the day a note addressed to j
Miss Mattle, a 18-year-old daughter of the _
Simpson's, was received at their home. The .
note was unsigned; but It advised the young d
woman of the absenoe of Mrs. Wham and her
slater and invited her over. Mrs. Simpson ?
got hold of the note and went with herdaugh* .
ter across to Wham's. They found Wham
alone, and when Mrs. Simpson demanded an
explanation Wham told her that Mattle and
be had an understanding about the Invitation
at a convenient opportunity. Mra. Simpson _
told her buabBhd, and he went after Wham,
who refused to come oat. The matter dragged 6
along for two days and grew worse as it grew
nldor Th? whnlp nelehhorhood became r
aroused, and tbere was talk of lynching ?
Wham. Mrs. Wham took tbe side of ber
busband and called apon L. W. Ramage to
help make peace. Ramage went to Wbam _
and tried to get him to go over to Simpson's; B(
but Wbam refused on tbe ground tbat be r,
would be lynobed. After awhile Ramage 7.
tried to compel Wham to go at the point of a
pistol and Wham shot Ramage dead with a h
rifle. The crowd that had gathered sought to p
enter tbe house. Mrs. Wbam screamed and
begged, saying that ber busband would kill
them. In this way she held the orowd at bay
for nearly two boars. The crowd thought
that Wham was standing guard In the house
and everybody was afraid to approach tbe ,,
body of Ramage. At length tbe sheriff ar- ,
rived and a search developed that Wham bad L
skipped Immediately after tbe shooting and "
since he had been looking forward for two "
days to tbe flight, be was no doubt fully pre- d
pared. Had it not been for tbe killing of 5:
Ramage, Wbam would have been lynched, .
and bad It not been for tbe acting of Mrs.
Wbam, the orowd would have discovered tbe
flight ot ber faithless busband mucb sooner
than otherwise.?Yorkville Enquirer.
Jnst About Girls. g
Many bright girls, with floe, well-filled
minds and even with some sense of humor, J
are dnll as clams In company. In a parlor
some shallow, rattling girl, who does not A.
know much, can outshine tbem comeleteiy. { '
By tbelr reticence tbe girls of this silent clash 0
gain an unmerited name among men for be cl
ing stupid and slow and backward.
Most men who oomplaln that glr's do cot
say anything worth while bearing bave themselves
to blame. They expect a girl to entertain
them while tbey sit silent without an ?
idea Id tbelr heads, and when they do talk to L1
girls tbey utter generally little but vapid
compliments and sentlnental, silly trifles
Tbe man who talks sensibly and seriously to ?
some of these reticent girls and thereby ,
draws tbem out. may find a good deal more ^
Information and solid thought than he antlci- p
Dates. Real Intellectual ability does not ruo ?
much to chatter, and tbe woman whose
opinions are worth something is oiten chary
or throwing them at every man who happens
to Bit down beside her.
Brightness In conversation is a matter r(
more of temperament than of brains. Persona
who think quickly and do not go to the g|
bottom of a subject are apt to be the better ?
and readier talkers In a parlor. They will utter
two opinions while a wiser bead Is formlhg
one. They do not prize exaolltude and
correctness so much as cleverness and effect.
They would rather express a false sentiment ri
brilliantly than % true sentiment dully.
They help to keep the company In a lively h
state for an evening, but they would be very
exasperating matrimonial mates, for one cannot
stand moro than a lew hours of glittering
conversation without feeling pain.
Cultivate the reticent girl. She may be a f<
perfect fool, but she may also have a very 0
clear, original Intellect, and when you know w
her well and win her respect and confidence li
she may turn out a far more entertalnlDg g
profitable converser than her shallower sis c
ter, who chatters so gayly, so frothily and so li
Incessantly, as a rule, people who talk ex- tl
ceedlngly well on first acquaintance become &
tlresomefafter extended Intercourse. Tbe reticent
people wear beBt because, as a class,
they think best. A girl who la Bllent when
she has nothing to say makes a belter oom
panlon for life than a girl who always thinks si
she has something to say. Among girls, as b
among men, tbe ablest minds, the trueRt
friends and tbe most agreeable companions d
are not always the ones tbat talk most. Oft- b
en a girl who sits as qnlet as a mouse In company
does thinking enough for a whole faml p
iy.

nd watches. Among the 2.000 examples uc t
ulred are several of special interest. Of the I
eneral exhibits one ol the most interesting i
i a clock built by a pious Scotchman a cenary
and a half ago. To guard against any | a
ossible consequences of breaking the Sab
ath, he so constructed it thatat midnight on i
aturday It stopped dead and never so much
s ticked until Monday morning began.
To get along well in a neighborhood the
eople ought to observe the methods as found
t a country quilting : keep the peace aud \
void scraps.

THE WINDOW.
is Iinporliiucp lu llie Ncliomo nf Keluil
Inif.
Many dealers In the smaller towns
nH anmo rpfnilera in the cities lail to
ise their windows in the best advanBge.
To most retailers a well-dressed
window will prove in results only secndary
to good newspaper advertising
-and the window advertisement
osts nothing except the time and
bought necessary to prepare the dismay.
Window dressing can be done
u dull forenoons when there is little
rade ccming in, and should be deleated
to certain of the employes who
isplay some sense of proportion and
rtistic instincts. Do not make a
lodge-podge of the windows. Disilay
one or two lines at a time and
hange the display often. No matter
iow well a window may be arranged
L is not good enough to remain inefiaitely.
If you are making a specal
drive on certain lines, give promi
lenceto the same articles in your winow
display, aud always, always, have
asily-seen price tickets attached to
ach article.
Did you ever staud in the'street outidea
weil-d rested show window? If
lot, do so. Notice the number of people
who pass^it, nearly every one givng
a glance at it, and manv stopping
or a closer examination. Many, inleed,
enter the shop and enquire about
he goods ; many others will do so
ater, when they have more lime at
heir disposal.
Some of those passing may not have
een the Arm's newspaper ads ; others
lave already noticed the ads aud the
lock in the window should be chosen
o as to oack up the statements made
n the advertising. The windows
hould be a "clincher" which will convince
the doubters. Never, never,
lisplay old style goods in the winlows,
no matter how low the price
narks, unless you wish to drive away
he better class of trade. If you wish
o eret rid of the out-of date goods,
cork them off ou country customers
>r others who are not particular
hout style, telling them frankly that
he goods are of a previous season's
nuke, and therefore sold at a low
>rice. x
I said at the beginning of thisaricle
that good window display was
inly secondary to good newspaper advertising.
Do you notice in how
nany particulars the same principles
;overn the two kinds of advertising?
^ few lines advertised at a time; the
idverfisement or window display
ihanged often; artistic and attractive
lisplays; poods prominently priced.
V.I1 the difference there is, while in
he ad, one must give word pictures
>f the goods, often accompanying
hem by cuts ; in the window adverisement
the goods speak for themelve>1.
See that they have every op>ortuuity
to speak convincinely.
Byron .Howard
Kecking a Customer.
Every man in business i8 looking
or some one to buy everything he
arries in stock. He is anxious to eet
ome one interested in every article.
Vheu the goods have beeu put on the
helves he is at once interested in ceting
them out of stock and into other
lands, and the sooner he gets the
oods into a customer's hands the beter
is the movement as a business
enture. The profit may not lie as
reat as the merchant would make
yere he to hold the goods for mauy
oonths, but he would then perhaps,
ake chauces on their selling at a proIt
at all. The best way therefore, to
et the customer is to be after him
arly, and get him into the interesting
iart of the conversation with re'eruce
to values and stocks, and keep
he matter interesting until the cusomer
appreciates the good to be obainednowand
the advantage of buyng
now. Most merchants really unlerstand
these poiuts and are anxious
o unload as fast as they can after
oading up. They want to fill their
tock with good things and the" are
nxious to get the goods into the hands
f the appreciative in the community.
V good article is the stock makes the
tock look better ; but a good article
old to a good customer widens the
innience or appreciative purciiasers
.nd gives the store a speaking friend
'/ho will say where she got the goods
,nd how good she thinks they are.
n planning for business therefore, a
lecessity is to have the stock that will
(lease the customer' and, having the
article, to get its appreciative features
lefore the people as early as possible.
Pell as many good points of ihe aricle
as is possible, find keep the peo>le
interested all through the season
o insure their buying. If talking of
he attractiveness of the goods will
>ot sell them, the quality ought to be
mproved so that the people would be
nore willing to come in aud buy.
rhe quick sale helps to make a fair
irofit and the man who has the stock
o offer and who Is able to tell about
t attractively and temptingly will
;et his profit without delaj.
Be Watch fa I.
The wise merchant knows when to
idopt new plans and how to accom)lish
any given purpose through the
deas of others. It is well to try to
urnish all the ideas, but it is foolish
0 turn down a good idea just because
iorue other person furnished it.
What is needed is business, not origirnlity.
If all the business could be
lone by one m?n and all the ideas be
urnisned by another there would soon
>e a change of conditions, for the man
loing the business without ideas
vould soon be convinced that the
nan with ideas was eucroaching on
lis territory. The merchant with
deas and business will he able to use
lie ideas to hold the business; and
he merchant with business and withmt
ideas will either have to adopt the
deas of others or be willing to let
1 part of his business go by default,
t is not advised that a merchant be a
>ilferer of ideas, because that merihant
will soon come to grief. The
nan who has not enough ability to
irgani/.e some things may not have
nough ability to apply the things
iriginated by others, but the one who
uakes a poi.it of picking up suirgesions
from here, there and everywhere,
irhif>h will lieln in his business, ami
hen busies himself seeing that his
>usiuesH keeps up to the ideas, will
iave reason to be glad of what he
.dopted, and to be proud of his work,
ncombinding ideas aud business, to
lis own advantage.

Tlio Delivery System. .
Every merchant tries to engage the J
very best help liia money will obtain.
It's the general rule. He looks to
their moral, social, physical and men- !
tal qualities, then balancing by general
appearances, comes to a conclusion
that sets hi9 miud at ease. It's the

value in hioney by the possible value (
ill service. This is his standard.
As a .?yHtem, it should be extended
to every departmens in which you employ
help. How ofteu it is the prac- ,
tice to require a high standard of
youi employes until it comes down to
what you term "a necessary evil."
The delivery department. Well, you
say, ^1 can't afford to pay more than (
three or five dollars a week to a delivery
man, and don't expect superexcellence
at that figure." You compromise
on some boy (who should be 1
in school?all irood hovs are in school.)
You may find a man who will work at
the price until he is offered 50c. more
on the week, then he's off"! You're
out, and the business lags until you
can break in some one.
Have you not made a mistake?
Let's see.
In the spirit of modern publicity,
the delivery man is your walking-talking
ad. Can't get away from it. He's
seen by your patrons and those who
are not?every day?commented upon
?asked questions you might wish him
able to answer intelligently. He can
sour a customer on your store or leave
a busiuess breeding impression.
Rather an important sort of fellow,
is he not ?
Use your standard on this man by all
means. There is good timber available
at fair prices. Make him feel your interest
in him. Tell him a thing or
two now and theu--diplomatic-all.v
seasoned. Watch him assume the
confidential air, so essential to push.
