^timorous |fcpsrtraeat. Nonsuited. "The late Robert EL Pattlson," said a Philadelphia!!, "once did me a good turn. The thing happened In his early life, before he had entered politics, while he was still practicing law. I called at his office and said, very angry: " 'Pattlson, old Smith has sued me for that debt of (250 that I owe him, and I want to fight the case.' "You owe the money, do you?' Pattlson asked. " 'Yea, I owe It, but? ' '"It's a Just debt Is It?' " 'Yes, but?' "'Well, now, Horatio,' said Pattlson?he and I, you know, had gone to the high school together?well, now, Horatio, let me tell you a story. " 'Once there was a wrong headed chap, like you, that called on a village lawyer more designing than myself. He said to this lawyer: " "Look a-here, Squire, that 'ere blarsted tailor down to Swampoodle has went and sued me for the money for a pair o' pants I got offn him.' "'Do the trousers suit you?' " 'Yes. The pants is all right.' '"You owe the money honestly?' " "Sure." " 'Well, then, why don't you pay up?' '"Why, because the tlarsted slob went and sued, and I want to keep him out of his money, If I kin,* for spite.' " 'It will cost you something. Spite work comes high,' said the lawyer. " 'I don't care for that,' said the man. 'How much do you want to go on with?" "'Oh, about $25.' "'Is that all? Well, hire's five V's. Now go ahead.' "And the man went home. As for the lawyer, he, the next morning, dropped in at the tallor'n shop on the way down town. " 'What is the reason,' he said, 'that you have sued old Sands?' " 'Why,' said the tailor, 'I knowed he was able to pay, and I was determined to make him. That's the long and short of It-* " 'But,' said the lawyer, 'Sands has always been a customer of yours. I think you acted hastily There's a trifle In the w-ay of costs that you must settle, but here is 25. You'll take this If you are wise, and call it square.' " 'Certainly, Squire, If you say so,' replied the tailor. Til take It and be glad to get It.' "So the lawyer paid out one of Sands' V*s, and the other four he kept. " "In a few days his wrong-headed client called again. " 'Well.' said the man, 'how are you gettln* on with my case?* " 'Fine,' said the lawyer. 'We've nonsuited him. He'll never trouble you again.' " 'Gee. that's great,' said the client. Td ruther gin $50 than had him git the money for them pants.' " 'And now, Horatio,' Mr. Pattlson concluded, 'If you are wise you'll drop this case of yours, for It Is one that can only be conducted on the 'nonsuit' principle.'" The Stupid Steward.?Mr. and Mrs. Pembroke Jones recently cruised along the Atlantic coast on the Norada with a party of guests. At a dinner one evening the subject of stupidity?of unpardonable lunatic errors and mistakes?arose, and Mrs. Pembroke Jones said: "Lord Dufferin used to narrate with a good deal of amusement the error that an Irish steward of his once made. "He was about to set out for India, and a few days before his departure he remembered an old historic ruin on his estate near Belfast that stood in too exposed a place. "Summoning his steward, he took him to the field on which the ruin stood, and around this field he drew a tiny furrow with his stick. " 'Here, steward,' he said, 'I want you to build a wall here, following the lines that I have made?a stone wall five feet high.' "On his return, a year or two later, he thought of his old ruin and set out to visit it. When he reached the place he rubbed his eyes. There was the accustomed field: there was the new stone wall; but the ruin?where was it? "It was quite gone. "He turned excitedly to the steward. "'Look here, Where's the ruin, man?' he said. "'The ruin my Lord?' said the steward. 'That ould thing? Sure, I used it to build the wall with.'" Not Without Spice of Danger.? They were spending the autumn in the Pennsylvania mountains and a shooting- expedition had been planned for the next day. The talk naturally turned on the prospects for various sorts of game. "We miss the spice of danger that gives zest to hunting in the far west," one of the younger members of the party began, a little pompously. "Ah, ant it is danger wit your sport you like?" earnestly returned the old German farmer who was to act as guide. "Den you keeps close by me, sir. De last time I have sport I shoots mine brudder-in-law in de leg. I gladly takes you unter mine own wing," he concluded in all seriousness.?Youth's Companion. A Question of Temperature.?a Scotch doctor who was attending a laird had instructed the butler of the house in the art of takinsr and record ing his master's temperature with a thermometer. On repairing to the house one morning he was met by the butler, to whom he said, "Well, John, I hope the laird's temperature is not any higher today." The man looked puzzled for a moment, and then replied: "Weel, I was just wonderin' that mysel." Ye see, he died at twal o'clock." He Would Take No Chances.? Two men in the west were to be hanged for horse stealing. The place selected was the mldd/e of a trestle bridge spanning a ri\er. The rope was not securely tied on the first man to be dropped and the knot* slipped: the man fell into the river and immediately swam for the shore. As they were adjusting the rope for the second man. an Irishman," he remarked: "Will yez be sure and tie that good and tight, 'cause I can't swim." jjRtectUanroujs jSradinp. IN COUNTIES ADJOINING.

John Bass Shelton quietly solemnized the marriage of of their second daughter, Mary, tlo Mr. J. T. Collins. It was a sweet home wedding of unique simplicity and exceedingly beautiful, only the immediate members of the family being present. The bride wore an elegant tailor-made traveling- suit of brown broadcloth and hat to match. She is ore of Chester's most beautiful and cultured young ladies. The groom comes from one of North Carolina's aristocratic and best families, and is not only popular in society, but one or cnesiers nnesi ana maai piumIsing young business men. They left immediately after their marriage for a ten days' visit to the World's Fair at-St. Louis Mrs. Nannie Grier of Due West, who is visiting her daughter in the city, spent Wednesday in Rock Hill with her son.

While here she was the guest of Miss Bessie Westbrook As little as has been said about it, the county road force has done a great amount of work on the Pleasant Grove road during the summer that is of incalculable value. People who are acquainted with the old road know that about four miles of it is a succession of hills, some of them rocky and rough the year round, others a bed of red clay that becomes almost impassable in winter, not to mention the streams. The hills have been eliminated; so have the clay and rocks. The streams flow on in their channels, while travelers can pass high above, straight from hill to hill, on a level, smooth, hard road any day In the year. A mule can pull a ton from Pleasant Grove to town more easily tr.at he could have pulled the empty wagon at times before. Supervisor Darby and Superintendent McKeown and their advisers and assistants have labored patiently and faithfully. rue DAI/ t r vn unv/rxukii Gaffney Ledger, Oct. 21: Senator B. R. Tillman will speak in the court house at this place tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock on the subject "dispensary or no dispensary." As a matter of fact it Is understood he will defend the state barroom or dispensary. He boasts of being the "daddy" of this "great moral institution." and is confessedly proud of his child, and it may be expected that he will wax warm in his defense of it. We do not fear the result of the election. The people of Cherokee have made up their minds to do away with this dispensary. and all that Senator Tillman, or any one else, can do will not change them... J. N.

The responsibility resting upon the officers and managers of a Life Insurance Company Is not different from that which Is assumed by the trustees of Individual estates. It has always been the aim of the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company of Newark, N. J., to conduct its business in accordance with this conception of the sacred character of the work and the solemn responsibility imposed thereby. It best manifests its fidelity in keeping steadily before it as the true objective, the maintenance of the highest security, so that a policy maturing thirty or forty years hence will be as certain of payment as one falling due tomorrow; and to endeavor by all proper means to lighten the burden of insurance, by making the cost as small as is consistent with security. Evidence of the skilful and faithful management of the Mutual Benefit is found in its exceedingly low expense rate, and remarkably favorable mortality rate extending over the whole period of its existence?nearly sixty years. It is all right to listen to the other fellows' stories and examine their contracts; but you will be doing yourself an injustice if you sign an application or accept and pay for their policies before you know aoout me muiubj Benefit and what it can and will GUARANTEE you.
