did not agree, they parted. La

Too Much Gambling.
"Yes, there is too much gamb
ling," said Col. Leroy Springs
of Lancaster, the well known cotton
mill man who was in the citi
yesterday. "And Charlotte wa
not the only town that has bcei
hurt by tho reaction. Down a
my home, men?small manipula
tor9?were about $60,000 aheat
cf the game on one day. Th
next they wore about $20,000 be
hind. That's the usual way
Nobody but a rich man can affori
to gamble on cotton. The res
who dabble in it remind mo ol
people who borrow money to com
pound interest." ? Charlotte Ob

( The HeartlessQess of a Husband.
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

About the best advice wo can
* give the legislature is to kill the
' proposition to increase the nuniber
of judicial circuits and the sal

one or tho other simple measures ?
about which we can give instructions
later if desired?then ad.
journ to meet again in 1906, for a

for a like poriod every two years

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. C., *
writes :
"When Mr. Evans painted his ,
house with Devoe, he figured on
how other paints covered and had ,
enough left to paint three large ,
rooms. lie was so pleased that j,
he has usod Dovoe on two other j
houses "
