On last Wednesday night an enraged oolored woman fired a pistol under the cover of darkness, but missed the "one" she Intended to shoot, but "got the other" who fell mortally wounded and died a few days thereafter. iSo that one is in the grave and three women and one man now languish behind the bars of the Abbeville Jail. Only a few days before this a oolored man at Latimer _ Station shot and killed a negro boy for wblch be now awaits trial behind the bars. 'Tls bad enough that so many men oarry pistols, t but when It comes to women carrying con- ? oealed weapons we think it is high time to l to rigidly enforce the law against such aots, 1 for a pistol in the bands of an infuriated wo- t man is a dangerous thing. The, enforcement r of this good law is too low and should be * looked after more rigidly. There are too many pistols slung around these days for the b peace and dignity of soolety and State at t Urge. NEWSY GLEANINGS IN THE CITY. t Judge and Mrs. E. B.

I planted a rich place from his, obtained seed to enlarge my )atches. I consider it the best investment for ihe money I ever made, ts one seeding will last a lifetime oy afeing stock off April 1 so it may reeed itself. Easily exterminated when lesired. Burr clover and Bermuda jrass will withstand more tramping ind hard using than anything I have sver seen planted. Burr clover ihould be sown in September. Prepare the land as for wueat, sow the )urrs ; do not cover, as the rains will >eat it in the soil. Can gather it from December to April 1, when it goes to ieed by June 1, then up comes the Bermuda to furnish pastorage until winter. The two combiDe finely and 10 not conflict with each other on lame land. Cows, sheep, hogs and jhickens are fond of the clover after hey once get the taste of it. A few fears ago I gave a neighbor seed to iow. After doing bo he told me nohing would eat it and was thinking >f plowing it up. I insisted to let it tand for one year, as it was perhaps ike a man eating his first oysters? ifter once getting the taste was ever ifter fond of them. So after a few lays he came by, hailed me. saying, 11 am due you an apology, for I cau lot keep my stock off the clover, even ireaking down my lot fence to get.it." 50 this is the experience with many, rhe longer you have it the better you ike it. Your scrub cow fed on burr :lover will give as golden color butter \s your finest Jersey. I have just inished breaking my clover patch to ilant late corn. So you see I get two Tops every year?a winter ana spring rop for stock, then a late corn crop or man and beast.

The followiug is an extract from Dr Joseph Parker's last address preparei for the Brighton meeting : In all controversy bow much do pends on standpoints! How mucl standpoints are affected by training We talk fluently about independent* and private judgment and the right of conscience ; all that is well. In th sense, if any, in which we use th words, there is no harm in them; bu are they not words that need qualifies tion?words that are surrounded by ai atmosphere?words that are of nece' sity limited and partial? The mos contiictiug conceptions of things ma; be right from a merely individual poiu of view and utterly wrong from i -point of view that takes in more fieli and light and air, more of time an< space, more of history and experience It takes all men to make man, al knowledge to make truth, all sacrific to make love. Only he who know the whole "world" cau ever imagin that it is worth dying for; only h who knows "all nations" cau create gospel big enough for them ; only h who rests in the bosom of the Fathe can wait until he has put all eneroie under his feet. We are but fraetionsspliuters, not rocks; men, not man Let us be careful how we come t big conclusions, lest we overweigh ourselves and become popes while ii the very act of claiming to be Protest ants. At the best, we see through i glass darkly. Each sees his own glin of truth ; no one star is the universe no one candle is the sun. To knov this is to learn how to be charitable patient, and hopeful. There is no pop so hateful as the Protestant who act as if he thought himself infallible. Her Objections?

To most retailers a well-dressed window will prove in results only secondary to good newspaper advertising ?and the window advertisement " * ?- ?i-- ?: ii *! costs notlling except toe nine 2iiin | thought necessary to prepare the dise play. Window dressing can he done 8 on dull forenoons when there is little e trade cr miug in, and Should he dele? gated to certain of the employes who display some sense of proportion and ' artistic instincts. Do not make a 1 hodge-podge of the windows. Display one or two lines at a time and 1 change the display often. No matter ^ how well a window may be arranged 1 it is not good enough to remain in1 definitely. If you are making a specj ial drive on certain lines, give prominence to the same articles in your window display, and always, always, have easily-seen price tickets attached to * each article. !* Did you ever stand in the street oute side a weil-dres.--ed show window? If e not, do so. Notice the number of peoa pie who pass,it, nearly every one give ing a glance at it, and manv slopping r a 1$inter ovui> imitinn. Manv. in " deed, enter the shop and enquire about the goods ; many others will do so ' later, when they have more time at 0 their disj osal. t Some of those passing may not have " seen the firm's newspaper ads ; others - have already noticed the ads and the ft stock in the window should be chosen t so as to back up the statements made ' in the advertising. The windows v should be a "clincher" which will conS vince the doubters. Never, never, display old style goods in the wius dows, no matter how low the price marks, unless you wish to drive away the better cla*s of trade. If you wish to get rid of the out-of date goods, work them off on country customers or others who are not particular p about style, telling them frankly that a the goods are of a previous season's [, make, and therefore sold at a low price. I said at the beginning of this artide that good window display was only secondary to good newspaper advertising. Do you notice in how ? many particulars the same principles ? govern the two kinds of advertising'/ A few lines advertised at a time; the . advertisement or window display changed often ; artistic and attractive displays; poods prominently priced. All the difference there is, while in 1 the ad, one must give word pictures 2 of the goods, often accompanying ,r them by cuts : in the window adveri tisement the goods speak for them? selve-. See that they have every opf portuuity to speak coijvincinely. Byron Howard Kecking a C'uNtoiner. Every man in business is looking !" for some one to buy everything he e carries iu stock. He is anxious to get some one interested in every article. When the goods have been put on tbe shelves he is at ouce interested in Kectting them out of stock and into other r. nands, and the sooner he gels the e goods into a customer's hands the betI* ter is the movement as a business o venture. The profit may not be as ? great as tbe merchant would make were lie to bold the goods for many months, but he would then perhaps, e take chauees on tUeir selling at a profit at all. The best way therefore, to w get the customer is to be after him early, and get him into the interesting part" of the conversation with re'erence to values and stocks, and keep s the matter interesting until the customer appreciates the good to* be oblp taintd now and the advantage of bu3'? ing now. Most merchants really un" derstand these points ami are auxious ? to unload as fast as they can after I, loading up. They want to fill their stock with good things ami the" are anxious to get the goods iuto the hands 1 of the appreciative in the community. l" A good article is the stock makes the 3 stock look better; but a good article sold to a good customer widens the audience of appreciative purchasers y and gives the store a speaking friend s who will say where she got the goods and how good she thinks they are. In planning for business therefore, a necessity is to have the stock that will " please the customer' and, haviug the article, to get its appreciative features before the people as early as possible. r Tell as many good points of the art tide as is possible, and keep the people interested all through the season to insure their buying. Jf talking of the attractiveness of the goods will not sell them, the quality ought to be improved so that the people would be s more willing to come in and buy.

But they e have good times just like American l" children. Their game* are, many of them, like ours, aud one of the chief sports is kite flying. Their kites are t shaped like birds, and sometimes like animals or men. The little babies are carried on the backs of the grown people or larger 1 children. .They are fastened by bands 3 of cloth tied around the breast. The big boys aud girls take care of their baby brothers and sisters in this way. How would some of you like to do lf this? I'wonder how the baby likes to u be carried this way by a big boy who - is running bard to keep his kite up in ^ the air? It must shake hint up a good jt deal. The big children get so ?ccus f tomed to having the baby with them that they forget he is there most of the e time, and they do not let him interfere ? with their play. 11 ? ? t I- It is better to help carry your n eighbor'rt load than to walk at his fide and join with him in groaning. jj Worrying about trouble that may j come is too much like taking medicine to cure a disease we expect to catch. 3 Home people make the mistake ofj praying for what they want instead of; what they need, and then wonder why j their prayers are not answered. ,*| Christ walked and talked daily for| l three years and never took a vacation, j [" yet some ministers must liave three | months of!' in every twelve or uomi plain of collapse. j A whole lot of men who claim to lie selfmade unwittingly pay a compliment to their wives.
