ORDER OF THE EASTERN STAR. j Confusion Concerning thc Degrees. Regular Work Established.. All Ala:ons. their wives, daught ers, mothers, sisters and widows are, or have a right to be, interested in the Order of the Eastern Star and ita work. It began with the Hon. Rob ert Morris, a distinguished Mason of Kentucky, who devised a plan by which , the female relatives of Masons in good Btanding might partake of some , of the rights and benefits of Masonry. These degrees were lodse 3y conferred and with little systf a. Several rituals were developed, a .<1 Awhile some held the work in its pur pty, with others it degenerated into mere amusement and was held in slight esteem. The pose tbllltles of the work.how ever, developed until in 1876 the Orand Chapter of the World was or ganized, Mississippi being the first State to move in the matter. ThlB then is the beginning of the Order of the Eastern Star as complete and as regular in its order as Ancient Free Masonry ls lu its, having local chap ters, H under jurisdiction of State Orand Chapters and the Generali Grand Chapter, having supervision of the world. At the last triennial communica tion of the General Grand Chapter, held in St. Louis, Mo., In September, 1904, there were forty-six Grand Chapters, having 4,415 subordinate chapters, and a membership of 304, 979. There were chapters in British Columbia, Hawaii, Benares and Cal cutta, India, Manilla, Philippine Is lands, and a Grand Chapter In Scot land. Since 1904 other QrandChap ters have been organized, until every State in the Union (except Dela ware) has one, ??.uth Carolina be ing the last State to come in-June 1st, 1907. Outlaws. The work of the old system (or lack of system) has been continued according to the various rituals and individual interpretation thereof. This work, of course, cannot be rec ognized or countenanced by the or der or its members, the ritual of the order being quite distinct. Many call the other "outlawed," but the term is perhaps too severe, for lt was received in good faith by many worthy Masons and transmitted in good faith by them. Others, how ever, have peddled the degrees for pecuniary advantages, and have given them to irresponsible parties, and even to negroes. These may be the original Eastern Star degrees, but do not entitle to membership in the order, and cannot be accepted by its members. The degrees of the order of the Eastern Star can be conferred only In a duly organized chapter of the Eastern Star, or when legally establishing a chapter. None are eligible for membership ex cept Master Masons in good stand ing, their wives, daughters, moth ers, sisters or widows*. The women must be at least eighteen years old, and the degrees cannot be conferred for less than two dollars. The Order of the Eastern Star ls generally recognized by the Grand Lodges of Masons, and it is hoped that local lodges and Individual Ma sons will stand for the accepted work.

What more can anyone do? Dr. J. W. Bell. Largest of Locomotives. Schenectady, N. Y., August 16. The largest steam locomotive in the world in about to be turned out from the Schenectady plant of the Ameri can Locomotive Company for the Erie Railroad. It will haul on grades tho heaviest trains without the aid of helpers. Its weight ls 413,000 pounds. The Mallet articulated compound locomotive built for the Baltimore and Ohio railroad ls a baby alongside of this one. Both are of the articu lated compound type. The tractive power of the new engine ls, when working compound, 94,809 pounds. The machine measures from cow catcher to the rear of the tender 83 feet and ten inches, with a height from top of rall to top of smokestack of 15 feet 5% inches. The engine has four cylinders and ls in reality two engines combined in one. The water alone in the boiler weighs 42, 700 pounds, and the tubes, of which there are 404, weigh 28,700 pounds. While the hauling capacity of this engine ls double that of the heaviest freight locomotive now In service on the road, the load of one single pair of driving whels ls less than that of many of the ordinary road engines of the present day. The locomotive ls designed for ser vice and will operate on the Susque hanna Hill, between Susquehanna and Gulf Summit, where the ruling grade Is 1.3 per cent. Two others of the same size are being built. -A. ? T <C? Tl. X ./?L . The Kind You Haw Always Burato* 8lgu?tnre Sf -1 REUNION OP ORR'S REGIMENT AV iii be Held in Abbeville September 18th and 10th.

Columbus, Ohio, August 21.--Im mediately after opening the Philip pine Parliament in October, Hon. W. H. Taft will resign the Secre taryship of War. That act will complete hin official duties and his formal resignation will come by cable-If it ls not al ready In the President's hands-to take effect at that time. Leaving the Philippines he will make his trip through Russia and Germany, meeting the Czar and the Kaiser, merely as an American citi zen, and in no official capacity. When he lands on the United States' soil, after completing the cir cuit of the globe, he will enter ac tively into the campaign for the Re publican nomination for President. This 1B the Secretary's program as it became definitely known to Ohio friends, and is not likely to be sub ject to any change. Now an avow ed candidate, he realizes that he cannot, with propriety, or success fully, conduct his canvass as a mem ber of the administration family. Until he completes his service In the Philippines, he will travel at gov ernment expense, using the United States transports on part of his jour ney, but after that he will pay hts own expenses and go as an ordinary citizen.

Bell had been a colonel In the Con federate army, a member of the Uni ted States and Confederate Con gresses, and a member of both branches of the Georgia Legislature. A. Lazy Liver May be only a tired liver, or ? starved liver. It would be a stupid as well ss savage thing to beat a weary or starved man because ho lagged In his work. So In treating the lagging, torpid liver it is a great mistake to lash it with strong drastic drugs.

Good Night to Mother. (From the Baltimore oun.) Say good night to mother with a kiss for every kiss That she gives you in the loving of her clasp of mother bliss! Say good night to mother while your arms around her lace, Andyour little hand is tender with its touch upon her face! Say good night' to mother that in minty of far-off years, Through shadows of a memory that ls infinite with tears, Her thoughts may wander sweetly and her gentle dreams recall The little lad of childhood and his good night kiss and all! Say good night to mother in the ten der childhood way Before the little feet of weary child hood rest from play! Say good night to mother when she kneels, forgetting care, With the lips of love that murmur on tb4) lips of childhood prayer! CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.

South America has a frog of pecul iar habits. Dwelling in the virgin forest,at the tops of the highest trees it chooses as the site of its nursery some hollow stump and then pro ceeds to line it with rosin procured from the trees in the neighborhood. This lining serves to catch and hold the rainwater, with which it quickly becomes Ailed. As soon as this takes place the eggs are laid therein, and here they undergo development Into tadpoles. How the rosin is collected is a mystery, nor is it yet known how the separate pieces become welded to form the water-tight basin neces sary to insure the safety of the trea sures deposited there. Shredded Corn Against Hulls. If the people of York county would only believe and act on the state ment of Prof. Harper to the effect that shredded corn stalks are more valuable for feed than cotton seed hulls, lt would be worth thousands and thousands of dollars to them. A number of more advanced farmers in different parts of the county have quit pulling rodder, cutting corn stalks to stover Instead; but hundreds of them still insist on allowing their stalks to go to waste in the fields, while they continue to pay eight or ten dollars a ton for cotton seed hulls. Prof. Harper's statement to the effect that cotton seed hulls, if used long enough as a roughness,will kill cattle, should receive due con sideration. There is reason to be lieve that the professor would never have thought of making either of these statements had he not been ab solutely certain of their correctness. -Yorkvllle Enquirer. THOSE CHEA I* POLITICIANS. Newspaper Intim?tes that Prominent Officials are Out of their Sphere. (From the Manning Times.) It ic high time for the newspapers to stop giving free advertising to politicians, especially the class who appeal to the .prejudices of the igno rant by referring to newspapers as "dirty newspapers." Senators Till man and Latiraer have gotten more free advertising from the newspapers than any other men in the State, and both of them, whenever a newspaper happens to differ from them at any time, make lt a point to not only speak dis pu raga in g iy of that news paper, but they try tc teach the ignc rant that newspapers are the enemies of mankind, but the nervy part of the business is that after trying to poison the "graynecks" against news papers, they have the unadulterated gall to send a mass of bushwa to the abused newspaper for publication free of charge. This newspaper has made up its mind to cut out free ad vertising for politicians. If they think the space in our paper is a good advertising medium to advance their political Interests, they can ac company the matter they wish pub lished with the material that even makes newspaper men respectable. If the newspapers had no been so liberal with their space, there are politicians now enjoying high life who would, in all probability, be selling eggs in Augusta, or hoeing corn at Belton.

Price 26o. 8oldby Dr. J. W. Bell, Walhalla; W. J. Lunney, Seneca._* May Sell for 18 Cents. T. D. Miller, secretary and treasu rer of the Statesville Cotton Mills, spent yesterday In the city on busi ness in connection with his establish ment. Asked about the conditions of the milling interests at present, Mr. Miller stated that the general sit uation was exceedingly favorable to the textile business. "We have sold ahead until May," he remarked and believed that the majority of other mills of the State were in a similar condition. The present outlook for a good coton crop, Mr. Miller thought, was only fair. "We have to depend upon a late fall and a favorable August to make a big crop, and lt ls not proba ble that we will have both of these. If we only make a ten million crop, I look for a price of from 15 to 18 cents. "There is a likelihood that a thir teen million crop will sell at 12 cents. The past few days of hot dry weather have hur* ott on in our sec tion, and I suppose the same ls true here. The fruit is faling off, and what remains on the stalk 1B not ma turing much."-Charlotte News. The Immunity of the Witness. "Do you refuse to answer on the ground that you might Incriminate yourself?" "I'll leave that to the court. If I told 'the truth' I'd get a year. The 'whole truth' would mean at least ten years, and 'nothing but the truth' would mean life sure." So they rated him as immune and called a witness who knew nothing of the case.-Judge.
