New Hope, December 4.-(Too lato for last week.)-Tho High Falls schools, No. 3G A and B, are in a flourishing condition under the man agement of Miss Wannio Morgan and Billy Craig. Miss Lillie Boroughs and brother, Claude, of Piokens, were the guests of Miss Bennie Knox Saturday night and Sunday. Walter Miller visited relatives in Greenville during the latter part of last week. Misses Myra and Sadie Parker and Coke Whitmire, of Newry, vis ited at tho hon e of John A. Kelley recently. Miss Clara Tollison spent the lat ter part of last week with Miss Ruth Hunnicutt, of Seneca. Har Kelley visited relatives and friends at Easley last week. Misses Wannio and Ada Morgan visited relatives in Greenville Satur day night and Sunday. Miss Rosa Crow and brother, Wil lie, of Jocnssee, visited friends here recently. O. C. White, of Old Piokens, vis ?ted his brother, R. E. White, re cently. Harper and Billy Robinson, of Greenville, visited friends and rela tives in this section last week. R. H. Boyd, of Seneca, visited at tho homo of his mother Sunday. John Zachary, of Tokcena, was among friends here recently. Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Findley, of Salem, visited here recently. Tho telephone line through this section is a great enjoyment to the young and old. s. <;. Failed. All efforts havo failed to find a bottor remedy for coughs, colds aud lung trou bles than Koloy's Honoy and Tar. It stops tho cough, heals tho lungs and pre vents serious results from a cold. J. N. Patterson, Nashua, Iowa, writes: "Last winter I had a bad cold on my lungs and tried nt least half a dozen advertised cough medicines aud had troatmont from two physicians without getting any benefit. A friond recommended Foloy's Honoy and Tar and two thirds of a bot tle cured mo. I consider it tho greatest cough and lung medicino in tho world. J. W. Bell. -m + Now tor a Pythian Orphanage. The proposition to establish a Knights of Pythias orphanage at Williamston is, wc believe, one that will appeal to tho members of thc order and to tho people of the Stato generally. Tho idea suggested is certainly, it seems to us, hotter than that of expending the accumulated funds of the order in erecting a build ing in which to hold tho annual meetings of tho Grand Lodge. Thc Grand Lodge belongs to all the cities and towns of the State and not to any particular one. Any city or town will be glad to entertain tho Grand Lodge at any time, and we believe it cannot be denied that tho delegates to tho Grand Lodge had rather visit different parts of tho State cadi year than to go each time to one particular plaee. The place would ^el tiresome and the welcome might wear out. A model orphanage building can be scoured and equipped and started for the same money that it would take to erect a Grand Lodge build ing. A particularly advantageous offor will be made, we understand, of thc old Williamston Female Col lege property for such a purpose, and wc believe tho matter will bo most favorably considered by the members of the order when it is fully understood. Sundy the caro of orphan Ob?<1 ren is a work that the Knights of Pythias cannot afford to ignore when the way is opened for them to engage in it. Anderson Mail. No Delay tor Panama Canal. Washington, December ll.-An appropriation of 611,000,000 was voted by tho House last Thursday toward the construction of the Panama canal. Tho amount was a compromiso between *1 <;,:'?( iO,0(JU, carried by tho bill, and Ibo estimate of something moro than *G,OUI),00() recommended by Williams, tho Dem ocratic leader, to carry on the work until the middlo of January. There is no intontion to delay the work, the ?ti!y argument for cutting down the appropriation being that closer scrutiny might bo had of the estimate. Ginners Issus Crop Estimait. Dallas, Texas, December 8.-The following is tho cotton crop report of the National Ginuers' Association given out to-day : The reports sent to us from tho whole cotton belt, every postoflicc represented, indicate a total crop of 9,628,000 bales with 8,486,000 bales ginnod up to December 1.

The healthy baby stores as fat what it does not need immediately for bone and muscle. Fat babies are happy ; they do not ciy ; they are rich ; their fat is laid up for time of need. They are happy because they are comfortable. The fat sur rounds their little nerves and cushions them. When they are scrawny those nerves are hurt at ever)'' ungentle touch. They delight in Scott's Emul sion. It is as sweet as wholesome to them. Send for free sample. Tie sure that this* plctura in the form of a label ls on tho wrapper of every boUlo of Emulsion you buy. Scott ?r Ho ti) ne Chemists 409'4ts Peart Street Mew York 50c. and $1.00 All Druggist* Fin? Marlboro Land Bring? High Price. Bennettsville, December 8.-Marl boro county ia beyond doubt enjoy ing a season of unprecedented pros perity-tbe banks, five iu number, in tbe county are burdened with de posits of prosperous furmers, as all classes of farmers, even one aud two horse tenants, have cleared from $100 to $300 per boise. They used economy during growing and culti vating seasons, the price advanced and is still high, consequently 11 to 12 cent colton bas filled the pocket? <>f all industrious tillers of the soil. Lands are very high, all classes commanding extremely exorbitant prices, eveu for rent, as from $7.50 to $10 per acre is the ordinary rent ing price for the choice plantations. George McCall, near Blenheim, during tbs days of reconstruction, purchased a plantation by paying the back taxes on it, as it was being sold for taxes by the Sheriff. A few days ago he sold the entire place to Dr. Chas. R. May for $100 per acre. Edwin Moore has been offered $112.50 per acre for a 300 acre plan tation five miles north of town, but be is asking $125 per acre. The live stock dealers, buggy, wagon and harness and furniture dealers are selling immense quan tities of goods at good profits. J. II. Lewis, the new live stock dealer, bas his third car load of tiue horses for this season, receiving all tho way from $200 to $500 for each horse. Some colored tenants are buying $200 and $300 horses and many of them are buying now wagons and buggies, while some are buying bornes even at the prevailing high prices. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of Little Child Killod by Bluo Ridge Engine. One of the most pitiful accidents that bas occurred in this section hap pened this morning about three miles above the city, when the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Harmon Thompson was killed by the incoming Bluo Ridge passenger train. The engine was in charge of Engineer Hughes and was running on regular time. At the place of the accident tho track is perfectly straight and a con siderable grade coming this way. There are high weeds on both sides of the track at the place where the accident occurred, and the first En gineer Hughes saw was a dog cross the track just in front of tho engine and immediately tho child started to follow his dog. The train was so close by this time that no earthly power could have stopped it in time to save the child, and it was terribly crushed by the heavy wheels. The train was stopped, but nothing could be done for the innocent little fellow. Death was instantaneous. Mr. Thompson, the father, was at thc home of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Luther J. Burriss, when tho acci dent occurred. Ho was soon reached by phone, when he hurried home to find his child, whom be had left only a short time before in health and happiness, now cold in death. Another sad feature is that the mother bas been very unwell for some months, and confined to her bed a great deal of the time and was unable to give the child lier company and care she would like to have done. -Anderson Mail, December 7. Sending Out the Seeds. The annual distribution of vegeta ble and flower seeds by the Depart ment of Agriculture began on De cember 1. Before planting time it is expected the entire amount, Aggre gating 88,000,000 packages, will bc in the hands of the people in all sec tions of the country. Congress, for tho past several years, bas appropriated $200,000 for this purpose, but a portion of the amount is used for? foreign experiment work and other kindred platters. The bulk of the 88,000,000 packages is subject to the order of Senators and Representatives for distribution among their constituents, tin; Secre tary of Agriculture reserving one filth of the entire amount to supply the statistical crop correspondents, the weather bureau and for other purposes. The country has been divided into six sections with especial regard to climate and soils, and the seeds will be sent only lo those localities in which their propagation and growth is believed to be especially adapted. In addition to those of the vegetable and flower variety the department sends out quantities of cotton, for age and field seeds to localities to which they are best suited and from which it is thought good results may be obtained. In Memory of Husband and Father. [Written by Mrs. Kate Whitmire.J His sufferings ended with tho day, Yet lived ho at its close, And breathed tho lonely night away In statue-like sweet reposo; Hut when the sun, in all its glory, Plumed tho eastern skies, He passed through glory's morning gate And waked in Paradise. Mistrial WM Ordsred. Columbia, December 8.-The jury in the State House oajug against Mil burn and Mcllvain-Unkefer Com pany resulted in a mistrial. After tho jury hail been out, for twenty four hours Judge Gage asked the jury if there was an\ ho;?*' of agree ment. The jury did u< t think BO, but he thought it well after the cane had been before the Court for nearly two weeks, to take another try. lt was a vain hope and in iheafierno* n Judge Gage directed that ft mistrial be entered, as it was evident that the jury could not ngieee. Tho talk about the range after tho jury came out was that a majority of the mem bers of the jury were in favor of a verdict for damagos for the State against Frank P. Milburn and Moll vain-Unkefor Company, but that is| another matter and all that the rec ords say and all that is of moment, is that after twelve days of work the trial resulted in a disagreement of tho jury. - The First Requisite of Beauty.

Interesting North Carolina Case. Asheville, November 30.-Tho oaae of the six daughters of Robert Gilliland against the board of educa tion of Buncombe county came up for trial in Superior Court here Tuesday. The case is a novel one, tho plaintiffs seeking to secure a mandamus compelling the defendant to admit them to the white schools of tbe county. They claim to be white children, but thc board in ex cluding ti)em held that they had negro blood in their veins and are not entitled to seats in the white Schools. The people of tho county aro intensely interested over the case and a number of the leading lawyers of western North Carolina have been retained in thc case. OA8TOHIA. Bears the J* Ihfl Kind You Have Always Bought Income Tax Demanded. Spartanburg, December 8.-County Auditor Shields this afternoon served notice on one hundred prominent and wealthy citizens, who are said to be liable for an income tax, but who have been negligent in making re turns to show cause in his office De cember 15 why such tax shall not be collected. The serving of this notice was a surprise to those concerned and has caused great comment. Very little attention has been paid to the income tax by the wealthy citizens in the city and county. -?--* . - Doctors Could Not Help Her. "I had kidney troublo for years," writes Mrs. Raymond Conner, of Shol ton, Wash., "and tho doctors failed to help me. I tried Foley's Kidney Curo, and tho very first doso gave mo roliof and I nm now cured. I cannot say too much for Foloy's Kidney Curo." It makes tho disoasod kidneys sound so they will eliminate tho poisons from tho blood. I Uh ss i hey i lo i Ins good health is impossible. The Southern's Double Track. The Charlotte Observer says : The double tracking of the Southern Railway between Washington and Charlotte is going forward rapidly. Forces of hands are working on a ten mile section south of Danville, another force is working between Greensboro and High Point, am! still another force between Linwood and Spencer. These sections when com pleted will give relief in each locality and the other congested sections will bo at once taken up. The culverts are all being made in the new stylo of cement construction. Inside of two years the double-tracking from Washington to Charlotte will bo compl?t?e! all the way. Sixty to eighty milos arc already completed I from Washington southward and by ! spring the thirty miles out of Dan ville, Greensboro and Spencer will be completed. At a meeting of the stockholders of tho Anderson Traction Company last week it was decided to increase I tho capital stock from $60,000 to $280,000 in order to build the line to Helton. Nearly all the proposed in ?rense hr.s been subscribed for, and will be paid in as needed. The next steo P.?W to be taken will be to em ploy an engineer, and then bids for the construction of the lino will bo called for. The work will be pushed as rapidly ns possible, and it is hoped lo have everything in readiness to commence active work as soon as the weather will permit.
