Leader Underwood Will Insist
on Work.
OBJECTS TO LEAVES OF ABSENCE.
Call Sent Out for Absentees?
Business ltequire* Attend
ance of Quorum.
Washiuton, July 25?Determined at ail
cost t<? maiutaiii a quotum in the house,
Mr. Underwood, majority leader, today
served notice that ho would block hereafter'
all attempts of members to be excused ou
account of private business. His purpose
was revealed when lie objected to consent
beiug given to Representative Switzer of
Ohio (Republican) to absent htnself forj
ten days. He later withdrew his objection
but gave warning that he would show no
leniency in the future. ,
Mr. Underwood's objection to Mr.
Switzer's request came as a surprise. The
majority leader made his position clear,
however. , j
"I give notice," he said, with ewphasis,
"that, so far as I am concerned;* on ac-1
count of the condition of business in the
house and the necessity of a quorum being
i. r ^-.v.wv.a fj\ onv mniAMh
prt'bCIll, 1 pi upuoc W VVJVV/W U..J .
for unanimous consent for leave of absence
on accouut of business.
"If a man is sick or there is sickness in
his family, that may be a legitimate ex-1
cuse. But the ini[>ortaut business for a
man holding a commission from a consti
tuency to represent them on the floo? of
this house is for him to attend here and
to be present at this time."
A general call for such members as are
absent in their home districts, either at
tending to their personal fences or upon
personal business, has been sent out. It
is believed that within the next few days
?.ifti<4t>nt of the absentees will have re
turned to restore a working att ndance.
A Little Spartanburg History.
(Capt. Potty in the Spartanburg Journal i
Strangers will lie looked on with prreat
suspicion by many people in this State.
Some of them will take to the woods if a
smooth talking, captivating man comes too
close to them. They will be as suspicious
an our Southern people were in 1850 to 1860.
It was dangerous for a Yankee to travel
through the South, and especially in rural
districts. Some persons remember that
the balloonists, who dropped down on Pea
Ridge in Union County in I860, were ar
rested and carried to the county-, seat as
' very undesirable visitors. Some well in
formed;men investigated the case and they
were released.
<?nf nannle w?r<> vftrv sensitive in those
1 7
days. If Susan B. Anthony, Lucy Stone
or some of the other abolition leaders had
paid our State a friendly visit, there is no
knowing what the results woold have1
been. About 1850, or perhaps a year or
two before, a strapper landed in Spartan
burg. He came from one of the Northern
States. He was considered a dangerous
visitor. If he spoke to a negro it was not
ed. All the mail he received or sent out
was closely scrutinized. Finally evidence!
enough was trumped up, or imagined, to
arrest him as a dangerous man and dis
turber of the peace and good order of the
community. After he was in jail a few
weeks he applied for bail. Simpson Bobo
was his attorney. He was released on
bond, or rather on deposit of the money.
for there was no one here to sign a bond
It has been said that the '-ash deposit was
14,000, but we are not certain about that.
Of course, he never came back to answer
the charges against him. Several years
after the war some of his friends wrote to
the clerk's oflice to know what had become
of the money he put up. There was no
account of it. All over the State In those
y^ars all visitors from the Northern States,
unless well endorsed, were held under sus
picion. All that does not seem reasonable
to this generation, who have grown up in
the last Jforty years. All they know of
Yankees is that they can go and come as
they pleose. They are uever under sus
picion, even when they visit the small vil
lages. They are especially desirable when
they buy farms or go in the manufactur
ing business. Time and a little informa
tion works wonderful changes. ',
Last week our regular carrier was out of
town and his substitute, being somewhat
unfamiliar with the route, failed to deliver
The Press and Banner to a number of sub
scribers. We regret the occurrence very
much, but it has demonstrated that the
paper is missed by our friends. We will
take it as a favor if any who fail to receive
their papers regularly will notify theofflce,
so t hat the delinquency may be remedied.
Smoking mean cigars leaves a bad taste
in the mouth. Speed's Cinco will remedy
this and cost no more.

,i.,r.,?GAN EMPRESS OF KOREA
i?- m m >
Her Son Would Have Been ftuiar But ,
.'or Annexation of tht Country
by Japan.
The empress of Korea, who died re
cently, was born In Appleton, Wis., the 1
daughter of a Methodist minister, a i
"circuit rider" who made Appleton his
home for a few years before the war,
Bays the New York Evening Post.
The Her. Mr. Brown was a handsome
southerner, and his wife a woman of
exceptional beauty, who transmitted
her beauty to her daughter Emily,
who was born in 1801. 8hortly after
the war, when Emily was about five
years old, the family left Appleton;
and ten years later the Rev. Mr. Brown
took his wife and daughter to Seul, the
capital of Korea, and was said to have
been the first Protestant missionary
to enter the capital of the Hermit
Kingdom. The young Appleton girl
1 J *V - 1., a

reuns, and acved as Interpreter In deal
lugs between the missionaries and the
government. She had a remarkably
sweet voice and attracted many na
tives to her father's mission by her
wonderful singing of hymns. The em
peror heard of the remarkable beauty
and wonderful voice of the American
girl and commanded her to enter hi?
harem, which ehe Indignantly refused
to do. Two yeari later, however, when
the mission was in financial straits,
she accepted the emperor's offer and
became one of his wives, with a prom
ise of marriage In her father's mission
as eoon as conditions permitted. When
the American wife had borne the em
peror a son and his queen bad died,
Emily Brown waa proclaimed queen,
the ruler of Korea then being a king,
and when he proclaimed himself em-,
peror she became empress and re
ceived the name of Om, which, In the
Korean language, means "Dawn of the
Mornlng" or "As Beautiful as the Ris
ing Sun." Emily Brown was the em-,
peror's favorite wife, and her son was
, m*de Ihe hdr apparent, and, but for
the annexation of Korea by Japan, he
would have become emperor on th*
death of the fatler. , -
More Light
Freah air enthuaiasta are familiar
enough to moat of ua, but we hear
les* of enthusiasm for light. Darkened
parlors, darkened bedrooms, darkened
sickrooms, are too common, sir a.
j W. RichardBon, the eminent London
scientist and physician, declared that
when the professors of healing enter
a sickroom their first -words In most
caaes ought to be Goethe's dying ex
clamation, "More light! More light!"
The light of the sun Is God's own
microbe killer, germicide, disinfectant,
prophylactic, sickness healer. Ther?
Is no physician, no chemical antidote,
no compounded prescription to be
compared with sunlight. Without It
nature could not perform her func
tions Man hoiiit hlr/1 Iruurf u'nnUI
I fall victims to the deadly gases thai
j would prevail. The horrid mists ant)
deadly gases are dispersed and de
composed by the action of light. Let
j it in, everywhere! Let the light in
more and more abundantly. Faded
carpets are not as pitiful as faded
cheeks. Spoiled cushions are trivial
compared with spotied health. Dark
ened rooms are too suggestive of dark
ened lives.?The Christian Herald.
CHad They Told Him.
What it is to be a genuine, single
minded egotist is illustrated by an 6c-,
currence related by an American who
spends much of his time In England.
Among his acquaintances is a cer
great invalid and spends most of his
tain aistinguisnea wruisner wdo is a
time In bed, a fact which, however,
does not prevent him from receiving
a great deal of company.
6ne day while thus In bed the Brit
isher, according to Harper's Ma/azine,
received several guests. They all be
gan to shiver and pull their coats
about them as they huddled around the
bed.
"What," eiclalmed the Invalid, "lrf
It cold here?" *
"We are freezing," answered a guest.
"Thank you for telling me," Bald the
distinguished invalid, who thereupon
rang a bell. The guests supposed that
he was summoning a servant to build
a fire, but when his man came in the
Invalid said: * ?
"Mulitns, brlnf me ray down cover

MADE UP IN TAFFETA
CHARMING FROCK DESIGNED ON j
PRINCESS MODEL.
8uggests Some of the Changes Which
Are Creeping Into the Fashions?
Hercules Braid Fit* Well
as a Dressing.
The princess model with robe front, j
or suggested petticoat, 1s shown in the
illustration,", the model being adapt- j
ed to both the finest and plainest tex-;
tures. Besides the suggestion of an
op$n shirt over a separate petticoat
this design gives other features promi
nent in fashion's realm. The low arm
hole is much admired, this device per
mitting the lea9t possible shaping of i
the bodice material and allowing the '
bottom of the sleeve to fit the arm
closely. Here taffeta, that newest of {
all new materials, is ^sed, the colbr a
soft goldeq.brown. The lace front and !
other ornaments of the dress are of i
a deep cream ratine lace introducing
4 touch of brown, and the guimpe is of
A spotted net finished at the neck with
a brown ribbon with tricot edge.
This dainty frock sugests in detail
Bome of tt)e changes which are trying
to creep into dress, the fussier trim
minor a. tha'seDaration of the ekirt from
the tunic;-yet it Is still conservative,
and by leaving off the trimmings *it
may be made the simplest thing im
aginable. There is a very new change
possible (or the collar, the last notion
for this being a very deep back with
a rounded bottom. All versions of the
.style glv?"the proper neck and sleeve
cut for eftch one?the fine gown Is gen
?*
I
erally coMarless, with three-quarter i
sleeves, while the practical one is 1
high Decked and long sleeved.
Another charming device for tafSete
would be to have the main part of the ;
frock in a flowered or striped design j
and the deckings of plain. A veiling !
with taffeta trimmings is also adapted j
to dressy effects, for most of the things j
which are not of tafTeta will be taf- i
feta trimmed. Among the deckings
used on taffeta Itself?and they are
many?is Hercules braid, a number of j
the coat suits being trimmed In this
manner.
If a simple frock on these lines is I
needed, thin blue serge with a touch of
black taffeta would be very modest and
yet smart as well.
Thin dressy materials of a cheap na- !
ture are countless, and the very smart- '
est of these are made up in one-piece
manner, the gayer colors running to
;puffings and shirrings, the staid ones j
'looking well with deep skirt tucks and
& shirt waist suggestion of the bodice, j
8trlng Belt.
A belt made of colored string Is a
novel accessory to milady's toilet. It
1b made by crocheting the string, us
ing a plain stitch, into the shape of a .
belt, having the two fronts narrower j
than the back. For light-colored wash j
dresses natural-colored string is used,
;but if it be a dark gown or you wish
to match the color of your tie in the
belt, make it of a floe wrapping cord
that can be bought In almost any de- j
aired shade.
Fasten it in front with a plain metal
or pearl buckle.
