"What Was Required.?"I experienced quite a shock the other day," said a New York lawyer, whose increasing rotundity of person Is a source of grave alarm to his sense of proportion. "When the real hot weather set in I concluded to attire myself in a pair of duck trousers, which I keep in stock for such occasions. When I put them on, I discovered that the waistband was shy by about several inches. I tried two more pairs and found the same lack of extension, and I reported to my tailor and asked him to send for them to see what could be done. That evening I stopped in to show him what was needed. " 'It isn't much of a job I guess," I said, with contldence. 'aii you ve goi to do to make them fit around the waist Is to let them out a bit and put In a V. That's what the women call It, Isn't It?" " 'Yes, Its a V all right,' he said, 'but let me measure you first and see how much to let out.' "He proceeded to run his tape around me and then to lay it around the waistband of the trousers, as I stood watching him. " 'Well.' I said inquiringly, as he seemed to be studying the situation. "Well,' he replied, with a laugh, as he looked at my figure and at the trousers and the tape, 'a V isn't in it with this proposition.' " 'What do you mean?' I asked with an unconfortable feeling. " 'I mean that a V won't do in this case,' he said, laughing some more. 'It will take a whole string of W's.' "Then I got hotter than the weather, and told him I guessed I wouldn't trouble him to make the change."?New York Sun. Prof. Busen's Wat.?The following anecdote is related of Prof. Busen. One night he and his wife returned from a visit and were about to enter the house. "My dear," said the professor, "it is too early for me to go to bed. I think I'll go over to the Rathskeller to drink a schoppen with my friends. You can go to bed awhile, if you like." "But," said the wife, "I must have the front door locked or I will be afraid to be alone in the house." The professor, who had solved the most intricate problems of science, stood helpless before the difficulties now presented. At length his wife had a brilliant idea. "I'll go in and lock the door from the inside," she said. "Then I'll throw the key out of the window and you can go to your friends." "A brilliant woman," said the professor, as his wife disappeared through the door. Quite a time elapsed before his wife groped her way up-stairs, made a light and found a piece of white paper in which she enveloped the key. She threw it into the gutter, from whence It was fished by her admiring husband. Arriving at the Rathskeller, the professor told his cronies of his wife's brilliant idea. A shout of laughter greeted the conclusion of his story. "What is there to laugh at?" asked the professor. "You idiot," replied one of his friends, "why didn't you simply admit your wife into the house and lock the door from the outside and come away?" "By jove! I hadn't thought of that," said the professor. When he reached home and tried to let himself in, he discovered that his wife had in her excitement thrown him the wrong key.?Des Moines Leader. Thb Building Passion.?The rector of n snhnrhan rhurch was aDDroached the other day by a woman who said she desired to rent a seat in a pew nearest the door of the church. The rector responded that the seats in that pew were all free and that she was at liberty to occupy any one of them. But she persisted, saying that she desired to have it for her own. Being somewhat curious as to her reason, the clergyman said: "But, madam, tell me why you wish to sit so far back." After some hesitancy she responded that she simply couldn't bear to have anyone "sit behind her." "Yet you will be sitting behind others. who, perhaps, feel the same way," said the rector, laughingly. "That may be," replied the devout woman earnestly: "but you know I have such a wretched little wisp of hair at the back of my head that it would certainly interfere with my devotions if I knew anyone was looking at It."?J New York Commercial Advertiser. Analyzing His Affection.?The young lovers sat beside the waterfall. J The rapids and the nearby whirlpool had a strange attraction for the romantic young girl. She had heard the story of the unhappy Indian maiden and the young brave who had gone to their doom, clasped in each other's arm, to the slow music of the "Swan Song." That seemed very beautiful to her. "Jack." she said, "if you saw me struggling in the water near the edge of the falls, would you jump in after me?" "What would be the use, my dear, when I can't swim?" he answered. "But at least we could perish together." she replied bravely. "Yes, there would be no doubt of that." he returned, shuddering at the sound of the cruel waters. "But haven't you often said you would dlb for me?" she asked, piqued at his coldness. "No, my dear," replied her practical lover. "-If you'll remember, I've always told you that I had an undying love for you!"?Smart Set. Cleaning the Clock.?A farmer has an ambitious son. 12 years old, who, being left alone for a few hours the other day, tried to clean the clock. He easily got the clock to pieces; but his difficulty lay in putting them together again after cleaning. At this task he was only partly sue vi-naiui, ctuu uj?wii ma uuwci a iciuui home he eagerly exclaimed. "Father, I've cleaned the clock and got enough works left over to make another one!"?Exchange.

The committee have again asked us to meditate upon this familiar portion as a temperance lesson, which is certainly a better selection for such a lesson than the story of the new earth which they suggested as a temperance topic last quarter. The ouly cure for intemperance, which is self indulgence, is to be found in self control which can be accomplished in us only by the Lord Jesus Christ, who is able to subdue all things unto Himself (Phil, iii, 21). In this lesson, as in all lessons on sin, we may see not ouly the sinner, but the sinner's substitute, iiiin who, though He knew no sin, yet was made sin for us (II Cor. v, 21). We know that the drunkards and also some other sinners are apt to have quite a full share of the six forms of suffering here enumerated, and no one can deliver but He who was a man of sorrow and acquainted with grief, who so patiently endured the contentions and babblings of His enemies, who was wounded for our transgressions and who after His weeping in Gethsemane must also have had redness of eyes. See Him, O sinner, as the one who loves you as you were never loved by even father or mother or dearest on earth, great as their love may have been, for He suffered before God for your sins and offers you full salvation from the consequences of your sins and deliverance from the power of them if you will only receive Him (Isa. liii, 5, 6; Heb. v, 7; I Thess. i. 10; Math, i, 21; I John 1. 9; Jude 24). 30. "They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine." These are the people who experience the sorrows of verse 29, but let wine suggest all the pleasures this world can offer, and they are very many of their kind. A great king tried them all and found them "II on/1 rnvo tmn nf onirit I ii, 1-11), and what can the man do that cometh after the king? But see what the same king learned to say: "Thy love is better than wine. We will be glad and rejoice in Thee. We will remember Thy love more than wine" (Song i, 2, 4). 31. "Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his color in the cup, when it moveth itself aright." Commands to an unsaved person to do right are only provoking, for all his nature is against the right; the carnal mind is enmity against God, is not subject to His law and cannot be (Kom. viii, 7). God gave no law to Israel till He had redeemed them from Egypt. The one only thing He asks the sinner to do is to accept His salvation, receive His Son. Then, and only then, does He give commands to be obeyed. Notice in verses 15 and 20 and so often in this book the command is to "My Son." and we are not sons of God till we receive His Son as our Saviour (John i, 12; I John v, 12). Having become childreu of God and partakers of the divine nature (II Pet. i, 4), we are to let Him possess our whole being, look through our eyes, hear with our ears, work with our bands, walk with our feet, speak by our mouths. In this way He will not look where He should not, and when tempted we must, like sinking Simon, cry, "Lord, save me!" 32. "At the last it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder." There is a last of all things sinful; they come to an end, and then there is the eternal reaping. Those who sow to the flesh reap corruption, and those who sow the wind reap the whirlwind (Gal. vi, 8; IIos. viii, 7). There may come a time when Prov. i, 24-31. shall be the experience of many, when because they would not listen to find thev shall call, but He will not an swer, and finally they shall have to hear Him say. "Depart from Me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels!" (Math. xxv. 41.) In the case of those who are redeemed by His precious blood, in whom He has come to live, the last on earth Is only a step to greater glory, to die is gain, to depart and be with Christ is very far better (PhiL i, 21. 23). 33. "Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter per. verse thiugs." Woman represents the worst as well as the best in Scripture. The true church is the bride of Christ and is espoused as a chaste virgin to Christ, while the false church is compared to a harlot (Rev. xix and xvil and II Cor. xi, 2). If drunken with wine, we behold the evil, but if "filled with the Spirit we shall see Jesus only (Eph. v, IS). The heart is the great center from which evil or good proceeds. Seo in this chapter verses 15. 17, 19, and then verse 26 as the only way to be right. 34. "Yea. thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast." This certainly suggests the saying of David, "Truly as the Lord liveth and as thy soul liveth thefe is but a step between me and death" (I Sam. xx, 3). Inasmuch as life in this mortal body is so uncertain how foolish it is to continue a moment longer in sin when God is beseeching us to be reconciled to Him and to accept the redemption which He has so fully provided and which He bestows so freely! (Isn. i, 18; Math, xl, 28; TI Cor. v, 20; Itom. iii, 24.) The God in whose hand our breath is and whose are all our ways (Dan. v, 23) is very gracious. He is slow to nnger and not willing that any should perish (II Pet. iii, 9), but He will by no means clear the guilty unless they accept Him. 35. "They have stricken me, I was not sick; they have beaten me, I felt It not. When shall I awake? I will seek it yet again." Just as before the deluge, so now. The imagination of the thoughts of the heart of man is only evil eontinually (Gen. vi. 5). They regard not the work of the Lord, neither consider the operation of His hands (Isa. v, 12). They become dead or indifferent to all the Lord's pleadings, and their one thought Is how to gratify their desires. A father has been known to become so inhuman as io take his children's clothing with whl h to obtain that which his cravings desired. A mother may forget, nature may fail. Man left to himself is only a beast (rs. xlix. 12). and often worse than many: ' :s great thought is himself and how to gratify himself. When Christ takes possession of a heart. He who when on earth pleased not Himself (Rom. xv. 3) will live again in that soul nis own life, making the person more and more like Himself until they awake in Ills likeness (II Cor. iii.

Newi and Comment That Is of More or Leas Local Interest. YORK. Rock Hill Herald, September 11: Mr. T. A. Dickson, father of the young man who was killed near King's Creek, by the falling tree last week, came to Rock Hill Friday nigh last, and the next day conveyed the embalmed body of his son to his home In Illinois. He was accompanied by a nephew. The deceased, C. O. Dickson, who was known as "Teddy Otis," seems to have left his Illinois home on account of the fact that he had killed the assistant pilot on an Ohio river boat on which he was the clerk. This accounts for his nom de plume. It was stated by Mr. Dickson's nephew, however, that young Dickson had returned to his home since the killing and had notified the sheriff of his presence; but nothing was ever done toward taking him under arrest The Herald has heard with much regret of the death of Mrs. Lineberger, wife of Mr. A. L. Lineberger, which occurred at his home near India Hook school house, on Monday of last week, of typhoid fever. The deceased was 40 years of age. Monday afternoon her remains were interred in the Ebenezer burial ground. Mrs. Lineberger h^d been sick for several weeks, and although she received devoted attention, the end came not unexpected. She was a splendid woman and her family of little children and her bereft husband are to be pitied in the sad bereavement that has befallen them Sherman Moore, a Negro boy, aged about 9 years, was before Magistrate Beckham last Saturday, having been charged with stealing a watch from Wm. Anderson, colored. The boy acknowledged the theft, and told where the watch could be found; but In view of his youth the magistrate turned him over to his mother on condition that she would give him a sound thrashing. She took him Into the guardhouse, and In the presence of Constable Wlngate, gave him 40 lashes for the theft and 15 additional licks for having told a lie, he having claimed that he found the watch The following young men left Rock Hill yesterday for Clemson college, to be present at the opening session today: Oscar Wilson, Rembert Barrett, Cecil Reid, John and Axson Gelser, John London, Vernon Hall, Hope Sadler, David Adams, Will Hicklin, John and Tom Spencer, John Gettys Ben Kee, colored, stole a pair of pants out of a buggy that had been left in one of the back lots In this city during the last winter. He at once took up his residence in Chester, where he got on the chain gang. His term being out last Saturday he was returned to Rock Hill. Mayor Waters sent him to the York county cnain gang lur ?>u uays xue Rock Hill Electric company is arranging: to remodel its plant and will put in new dynomos, etc.. and make some changes so as to receive power from the electric plant of the Catawba Power Company when that enterprise shall be , put in operation. The work of remodeling will be begun before winter and today representatives from the General Electric, Stanley and .Westinghouse i companies, will be in Rock Hill to sell the local company the new and improved machinery that will be used in the < remodeling of the plant. The home | company has employed Mr. J. H. D. i Maxwell, of Anderson, an expert electrical engineer, and he will be in charge of the work. Mr. S. T. Frew will retain i his place as the company's manager.... ] Mr. James Hope, brother of Mr. W. H. , Hope, of this city, sustained vdry pain- ; ful injuries on the farm of Mr. M. B. 1 Massey Monday by a team of mules 1 running off with a load of lumber, on 1 which he was sitting and driving. He < was thrown from the wagon and in the fall received a serious gash on the head at the root of the hair, extending clear across the forehead. The wound was I sewed up and yesterday Mr. Hope was ' resting well. The skull was not in- ' jured Owing to the fact that the i contractor is not ready to commence the repair work on the county bridge, < the chain gang will not be removed ' from the Waters Hill stockade until next week. A detail of convicts is en- i gaged this week in rebuilding the bridge at the Starr ford on Fishing creek. The others of the gang are fin- ' Ishlng some work near the old Saluda 1 road that ought not to have been left < undone. If Supervisor Gordon will have i the big pile of rock just beyond the I Spence place on the Saluda road 1 crushed and left there for repair work, ' if he should not have time to put them on the road, he will do a very wise thing. All macadam roads require to , be repaired and the Waters Hill high- , way will not be an exception Last 1 Friday night Mr. J. D. Scruggs had oc- [ casion to go to the depot to meet a . friend, leaving Mrs. Scruggs alone. She , took a seat on the piazza and a few minutes after the departure of her hus- ( band, hearing a cracking noise at the , end of the piazza where there was a ( stand of flowers, she arose and went to investigate; but not until she saw a ( man approaching on a bicycle. She took the precaution to wait so that she , might have protection in the event of a discovery such as she made. When she ( reached the stand, she was horrified to be confronted by a big, burly Negro , man, who was standing on the piazza, ] on the outside of the banisters, with , his face against the wall, 'so that he , might not be recognized if detected. He was evidently making ready to cross ( the banisters when he was surprised. ^ Mrs. Scruggs, almost paralyzed with , excitement, screamed for help, when the man jumped to the ground, leisurely walked around the house, opened and closed a gate that divides the front from the back yard, and going through the garden, disappeared. Aroused by the screams, Messrs. H. L. Gibson and C. W. Frew hastened to the home of Mr. Scruggs; but the man had gone. Mrs. Scruggs was very much alarmed, as she had reason to be. So far there is no clue to the identity of the rascal; but he may be caught yet. Had it occurred to any one that night to have telephoned for the bloodhounds at the county stockade, it would have been an easy matter to have run the man into his hole. FORT MILL. Fort Mill Times, September 11: The Columbia State is getting some pretty hard knocks these days, which are pre clpltated by its rash spirit, and one would hardly think that the same able writer and sound thinker was still at the helm in the editorial office. The paper is at variance with its patrons on every important question, and its utterances anent the attempted assassination of President McKinley is contrary to the feelings of the pubuc generally and The State is left in a class all alone with Senator Wellington, of Maryland, who remarked, "President McKinley and I are enemies. I can't say anything good of him, so, under the circumstances, I won't say anything bad." As If a man could not feel regret over the death of an enemy. Senator Wellington might not; but a man can Mr. K. Shannon, the public cotton weigher, has purchased new and expensive scales. He had to dive down Into his own pocket to pay for them, for since the people have taken upon themselves the privilege of electing the weigher, the town, we suppose, feels no longer obligated to furnish scales. However, Mr. Shannon Is anxious to please the public and he wanted to hear no kick coming about old scales Large congregations attended the morning and evening services at the Presbyterian church Sunday. Communion services were held in the morning and every seat in the church was taken. The pastor was assisted In the services by Rev. S. H. Hay, of Clover. After the services a special prayer was offered for the recovery of President McKinley In view of the short corn crop and the scarcity of fodder, etc., which will arise therefrom, our farmers have been busily engaged during the fair weather of the past week cutting and curing peavine hay. The improved mowing machines are being extensively used this season and all the farmers are well pleased with their working qualities. Agents in this place for the different companies, have sold quite a number of harvesting machines and numbers of people have Kaon hoarrl tr* cmv tVia f t v?PV will hllV later Prof. S. M. Mason, principal of the graded school, has instituted the "chaingang system" in his school. The students who are guilty of misbehavior during the school hours are put on the gang during recess and forced to dig weeds, fill up ditches and otherwise improve the grounds. This is quite a new idea in this section and is certainly a good one. A visitor to the school can see the effect of the system, although it has only been in operation for a short time. CHESTER. Lantern, September 10: Mr. Paul G. McCorkle has moved from Charlotte to Chester and will engage in buying cotton. Chester gives this family a cordial welcome, and we trust they will never have reason to regret that their lpt has been cast with us Will Stevenson, the Negro shot by O. L. Potts a few days ago, died Sunday afternoon. Coroner Gladden held an inquest yesterday, and the verdict of the Jun* was, in substance, that the deceased came to his death from a gun shot wound at the hands o( O. L. Potts, and that the latter shot in selfdefense J. L. Glenn, Esq., has been appointed division counsel of the Seaboard rail way, to have charge of all the litlga- 1 tion of the G. C. & N. division in South Carolina. Mr. Glenn has been local attorney for the road and had no intimation of his appointment until he receiv- ( ed a telegram announcing it, and asking him to wire whether he would ac cept. This office is .valuable for the money that is in it, and Mr. Glenn is to be congratulated on the fact that when the office started out to seek the man, he was the man It was after Capt. John. G. Wolfing, who was in town yesterday, says cotton is opening lapid1577 and it is rather surprising to see how much matured cotton there is. He believes the crop in this section will be a little larger than it was last year. He says we can get along very well with cotton at 7 or 8 cents. Captain Wolfing does not believe much in croaking. He is not even losing much sleep over the fact that a few other men in the state want to be railroad commissioner We have been advised to "bust Gonzales wide open" on account of his editorial in The State Saturday on President McKinley; but we don't want to do that, especially when he is being severely criticized by so many people representing all shades of political views. The offense charged is breaking off a brief denunciation of the attempted assassination with a rather lengthy expression of intense partisan feeling against the president, at a time when It was thought that propriety dictated that opposition could afford to be silent for a little while. LANCASTER. Ledger, September 11: In conversation with a successful farmer of this place some days ago, he remarked that If it had not been that he had his corn shredded last year that he would have had to buy at least a hundred dollars worth of roughness this year. In other words, by having his corn crop made into stover, he saved buying about $100 ' ivorth of mule feed The colored i :ampmeeting at Mount Carmel has ' ?ome and gone this year without any i Jifficulties occurring either on the grounds or en route to the grounds. A i mule belonging to Lewis Rollings, col- i ared, was shot in the foot, why < ar by whom nobody seems to know.... \ An election to determine whether or not j the corporate limits of the town shall be extended has been ordered by the I town council to be held on the 24th in- i stant Night Policeman Sowell, about i L o'clock Saturday morning, heard a 1 Jog baying something in the lot near l the bank, and went to ascertain what it ] was, fully expecting to catch him a big ] fat opossum. When he walked up, the Jog and supposed opossum began fighting and the policeman struck a match :o watch its progress. No sooner did he 1 make a lignt than the animal attacked < bim and the dog ran off. Mr. Sowell i Jropped his light and began kicking at < the animal which he finally kicked to 1 leath.

On r Sunday afternoon It went to Mr. Mar- a Ion Blackmon's and ran all his dogs 1 howling from the yard, and that night It nearly killed Mr. Alex Deas's dog at a Longsvllle. All day Monday and yes- r terday the men of all that section were c out hunting the animal. It Is hard to c find, because hounds will not trail it. c Several persons have seen It, and one a or two have shot at it. It is described as about the size of a large flee and has white spots on its body. There is much excitement in the neighborhood over the matter?parents fearing it may attack their children on the way to school. GASTON Gastonia News, September 10: Saturday night, a week ago, a Negro by the name of Edwards shot at some white boys near Furr's store. Saturday afternoon he was seen come from a cabin near town, and a lively chase followed. A bloodhound and about 15 men constituted the pursuers. About three o'clock in the morning the hound bayed the Negro in a thicket on the mountain; but the two pursuers who remained faithful in pursuit could not get to their man to take him. There is a reward of $25 J. Lander Gray is now superin- s tendent of the Avon mill in place of C. i M. Dunn, who is superintendent of the i Loray. Mr. Gray is the son of Geo. A.

Since that time, many years ago, great changes have occurred.

I Even if this were not so?since by c statute the office has been sunk to the < low level of chief liquor constable of the ^ state?there must be a distinct dispen- c sary smell about the place and these i duties must be exceedingly disagree- s able. 3 "Take but degree away?untrue that 8 sting!" f No; 1 do not desire that office, and & may add, any other in or out of the I state.

Some remarkable statistics in regard to this have been gathered by M. ' Dusolier, a French scientist. w After pointing out the marvelous enrlnnonna nkaftrn ktr hfha fnv tppr ipt.q uui ante ouunii who follow their masters patiently for } hours while the latter are riding on ^ bicycles or in carriages, he says that even greater endurance is shown by certain wild animals that are akin to ^ dogs. ^ Thus a wolf can run between 50 and .. SO miles in one night, and an arctic 1 fox can do quite as well, if not better. \ Nansen met one of these foxes on j the ice at a point more than 70 miles northwest of the Sannikow territory, 1 which is 480 miles from the Asiatic coast. Eskimo and Siberian dogs can travel 45 miles on the ice in five hours, and there is one case on record in I which a team of Esquimaux dogs trav- g eled six and a half miles in 28 minutes. ^ According to Dosolier, the speed of the shepherd dog and those used for hunting, ranges from 10 to 15 yards a second. English setters and pointers ? hunt at the rate of 18 to 19 miles an hour, and they can maintain this speed for at least two hours. . Foxhounds are extraordinarily swift, * as is proved by the fact that a dog of j this breed once beat a thoroughbred horse, covering four miles in six min- <, utes and a half, which was at the rate of nearly 18 yards a second. Greyhounds are the swiftest of all fourfooted creatures, and their speed may be regarded as equal to that of carrier pigeons. English greyhounds, which are carefully selected, and which are used for coursing, are able to cover, at full gallop, a space between 18 _ and 23 yards every second. How great an achievement this is "i mav ho liirlfro/3 frnm thf? fact that a thoroughbred horse rarely, if ever, ex- J :eeds 19 yards. Moreover, it is said j that a hare at its greatest speed never 1 goes faster than at the rate of 18 yards. P These interesting statistics are excit- ^ ing much comment among sportsmen p ind other lovers of dogs, and the opin- c [on is unanimous that M. Dosolier has ? fully proved the right of the greyhound r to rank as the swiftest of quadrupeds, d Express engines only surpass them.? t London Mail. How to Treat Fainting People.? Everyone should know how to treat a r fainting person. First of all, loosen ;very tight thing from around the neck C md abdomen. That is, unfasten the * collar from around the neck, and if the t patient is a woman, cut her stay laces, if she wears stays. Allow the patient ill the fresh air possible. Do not permit persons to crowd around, and if in l crowded place carry the patient out or ( to an open window. A fainting person -j should always be laid flat down on the v Dack, and it greatly aids recovery if the 1 lead can be put lower than the body, ~ so that blood goes steadily to the uruin. The main cause of fainting is J hat the brain is deprived of blood, and a f the head is laid low the brain gets ts share again and so resumes its vorkings. Cold water sprinkled over he face, smelling salts or burning \ eathers held to the nose and fanning ar he face, all help to restore conscious- ] ie^s. In an ordinary case the person ' nay be allowed to sit up when conclous, and after a little while resume ler way. 55 The custom of giving brandy or other ? spirits to a person who has fainted is a nlschlevous one.
