The Ladies and Their Sats. \ A lady friend, in discussing the sug- 1 gestion that the ladies take off their ' hats in church, has made a suggestion which impresses us as beihg a very sensible one, and one that all the men s who have suffered because of the ( large hats will endorse. This lady suggests that elderly ladies object to taking off their hats in church or other public places, for fear of catching cold or other reasons, I and she thinks elderly ladies should c be allowed to keep their hats on. c And, of course, her suggestion is a j good one. No man, no matter how / heartless he may be, wants the old 2 ladies to run any risk. . This lady4-you may guess at her /= age, for we refuse to tell it?suggests * that married ladies under 40 and sin- . gle ladies under 25 take off their hats, , | while ladies above these ages be per- J mitted to keep their hats on. 3 This arrangement ought to be satis- * factory to every body, and we believe 5 it will be. Only the young ladies will be ex- I pected to take their hats off, and the 1 elderly ladies will keep their hats on, 3 and we will say no more about it.? 3 Anderson Daily Mail. ? ' > ? j I, x _ r we nearaiy commena me auuve tv c the favorable consideration of the ladies of Lexington. We attended o services at the Lutheran church Sun- ? day morning and, for the life of us, we never got a glimpse of the preacher, so large were the ladies hats. We admit, however, that we "took a back eat." j1 . ~ ' = i A The Southern's action in removing . two of its most convenient mail and passenger trains from its Columbia f ' and Augusta line is causing much un- ' favorable comment. The trains in question were not only convenient to i the traveling public, but they afford- 1 ed the people living along the line the best mail facilities they have ever had. We can see no just reason for the discontinuance of these trains. Surely, the travel was sufficient to warrant their continuance, for they carried more passengers than any of the other trains now running, because the schedule upon which they wGre run was most convenient to the commercial men who travel every day in the year. jp. We trust that sufficient influence .can be brought to bear upon the company to have these trains again run over the Columbia and Augusta line,; not for the convenience of the travel- j ing public alone, but for the excellent ? mail facilities which they afford. It is indeed a most notable fact that the towns, as a rule, are unalterably opposed to the sale of liquor. Take the vote in Aiken county, for instance. Prohibition won at every p:ecinct in the county where a dispensary is located, except in the little city of Aiken. Only those who have to contend with the drunkenness and rowdyism, which the vile 9tuff creates, - * ! fi. ~ rnt. .Know wnat an evu n> is*. duu they alone, are in position to judge between the two, and it 9hculd be left for them to decide whether liquor shall l?e sold within their borders, Hon. C. C. Featherstone has withdrawn from the gubernatorial race, leaving the field open to Gov. Ansel and Cole L. Blease. The announcement is being received with genuine regret by the many thousands of South Carolinians who had anticipated voting for the distinguished son of old Laurens. Its "up to" Sheriff Corley to perform the last act in one of the most brutal murders that ever shocked any community. Sheriff Corley is a I man who never shirks his duty, and I that he will put the two brutes to I death in a decent and orderly manner I on May 1 i9 not doubted. j The sales of the North Augusta dispensary on Saturday before Easter amounted to more than $3,000. The ??A tVtot tr>Yvn. who voted !
