A heartless husband, ens Jasper 1 Hyder, hailing from Hcesomer i City, but who has been living in ; Lancaster with his wife Dora, came to Rock Mill Thnrtday aftornoon by train accompanied by t his wifo. Upon arriving here he took the woman into the waiting | room and leaving, said he would return later, that he had business i to attend to. The confiding wo) man took a seat while her false lord took his departure, and going out to the train and crossing to i the opposite side of the railroad , re embarked, and when the wife, - who was a good looking woman , and apparentlg very worthy, was 1 | friendless <and moneyless. She " remained in the waiting room un til after night for her husband, , but he never came. Becoming alarmed, she made inquiry ol ? passers by, but received no ti1 dings of the man whom she had t trusted. She was in great diso tress, naturally se, and a sympae thizing workman of whom she - had made inquiry took her to his rt home wkere she remained until 3 the next day, when she came r with her tale of woo to the mayor, e whe was unable to do anything r for her officially,but taking her to a the depot easily secured by sub. scription enough money to send f her on to the home of her husband. When th6 money had been ' given her she burst into tears and was sincere in her expression of thanks. We relate these facts to show ' how heartless some creatures in the shape of man can bo to those | dependent upon mem. This fels low, if the woman's word can be 11 depended upon, ought to servo a 1 number of years at hard labor on the chain gang.?Rock Hill Her1 aid. e ?

Lottor to A.'B. Forguson. |i Lancaster, S. C. I I Dear Sir : There are several ways of cheating in tuilk. An | old-fashioned way is to water it. 5 Nobody waters it now. A better 1 way is to take out the cream ? rich milk with the cream taken out is as good as poor milk with 0 its cream all in. But we needn't go into parti- is culars. tc You don't rob your milk and your customers. r% - - runt is as easy as milk to cheat with. Good paint is as rare as good milk ; for human nature is much the same in milkmen and Daiut men. * You are just and true with your milk ; so are we with our paint. I)ovoe lead-and-zicc is twice as good as mixed piants : There's twico as much butter in it. Mr. J. T. Ladd, Choraw, S.
