tumorous flrpartmrnt. He Got It Bad. In a certain Long: Island town there are two men who are something of local characters. One is known as "Honest John" and the other as "Sandworm John." Sometime ago "Sandworm John" got Into trouble. He needed a dollar to get him out and he didn't have the cash. He appealed to several people, but no one seemed anxious to part with that much of the realm. Finally he made his way to "Honest John." "John will you lend me a dollar?" he asked. "What for?" asked the other John. "Never* rillnd what for," said "Sandworm," Impatiently. "I want a dollar and I want it bad." "Want It bad. do you?" queried "Honest John." "Yes, I do want It bad, will you lena me one?" John considered a minute or two and finally decided to financier his neighbor through the difficulty. He went to his house and returned with a silver dollar which he handed to "Sandworm," who departed rejoicing. In a short time "Sandworm" came back. He was a very much provoked man. "John." he said testily, "there's something the matter with thai dollar. I can't get anybody to change it for me." "Why not?" asked "Honest John." "They all say it's bad." "Honest John" gave his neighbor a look of infinite compassion as one looks a person who has not the full use of his senses. "What's the matter with you 'John Sandworm?"' he asked. "You come here and try to borrow a dollar, and you say you want it bad. And I lend you a bad one and then you aren't satisfied. Some folks are awful hard to suit."

Able counsel were employed on both sides. The plaintiffs were trying to break the will on the ground that undue coercion was used by the testator's wife over him, he by his will manumitting several slaves, as the heirs held, against his wish. x James Roberts attorney ror plaintiffs. asked a witness If he had heard the deceased say anything: about making a will. "Yes. sir," was the answer. "What did he say. sir; speak out," continued lawyer Roberts. "Said he didn't want to make a will." "Did he give any reason?" "Yes. sir." "Well, let It come." "Well. I will. He said he didn't want that rascal of a lawyer coming over to the plantation to take his money away." Quit?

Said he, says Harper's Weekly. "I trust, sor, that ye'll find It convenient to help a poor man whose ? house an' everything In it was burned down last week sor." The merchant, although he gives with a free hand, exercises considerable caution in his philanthropy, so he asked: "Have you any papers or certificates to show that you have lost everything by fire, as you say?" The Irishman scratched his head as If bewildered. Finally he replied: "I did have a certificate to that ef feet, sor, signed before a notary; but unfortunately, sor, it was burned up with the rest of my effects!" His fbroetfirln.ess Rfmcmbhrep.?

"All right, sir. I'll take the best care of you, sure," replied the waiter. And he did serve the traveler excellently. It happened that on Wednesday morning the traveler was hastily summoned to Denver and It was six weeks before he returned to the Colorado Serines hotel.

Lantern, Oct. 10: Mr. Alex Frazer's house, on Columbia street, was burned about one o'clock Friday night with almost all its contents.

The fire Is supposed to have started from rats and matches, as it started somewhere overhead in the front part of the house. It was an old building, Mr. Fraser having bought it from Mrs. Lizzie Gill last winter, and it burned rapidly andhad made such headway before the fire company got there, only a very few things were saved. Mr. Frax;r had considerable work done on the house before moving there and it was elegantly furnished.

CHEROKEE. Gaffney Ledger. October 10: The cotton growers' meeting at the court house yesterday was a history making epoch for Cherokee county. We do not remember of a more thoroughly representative assemblage of the people of the county. Mr. Jordan's speech was that of a plain, practical, business farmer pleading with the people to unite to better their own condition. Mr. Smith's speech was full of humor and pathos, common sense and education. Every available seat was occupied and many stood. The meeting convened at 11 o'clock and when the speaking began the court house was crowded to Its utmost capacity. Splendid order prevailed throughout the entire speaking. President R. C. Sarrat, in a most pleasant and attractive manner, welcomed the speakers and then introduced President Harvie Jordan, of the Southern Cotton association, who spoke for over an hour on the value of the cotton crop; manner of handling It;" and the credit system. He was followed by Hon. E. D. Smith, who spoke on emigration and the south's monopoly of cotton growing. After the speak'ng a collection was taken, seventy-oaa uonars Deing contributed to the cause. An incident of the collection was the contribution of a darkey, who. when depositing his mite, said: "I'se use to payin' for good sermons and I wants to pay for dls one." A telegram was received from Hon. John L. McLaurin stating that he could not be present on account of being unable to reach the city on account of railroad connections Mr. Latta Parish, a real estate dealer in this city, received an inquiry yesterday from a gentleman in Arkansas in regard to some land near the city, which Mr. Parish had advertised In the Ledger. The gentleman stated that he had seen the advertisement in the Ledger, and wanted full particulars concerning the nature of the tract. Mr. Parish also received a similar inquiry from California a few days ago Broadus Westmoreland, a young son of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Westmoreland, who live In the West End portion of the city, was accidentally shot Saturday afternoon by a small rifle in the hands of another boy by the name of Stacy. The boys were in a corn patch at the time, after a chicken. Stacy flred at the chicken, and after breaking its leg the ball, which was a 22-callbre, glanced and struck young Westmoreland, who was some distance away in the field, and out of sight of the other boy. Drs. Jefferles and Griffith were sent for, and upon examination it was found that the ball had entered the boy's right side, about on a line with the navel, producing a serious but not necessarily fatal wound. The physicians administered an anaesthetic and endeavored to find the ball, but were unable to locate it. The boy was resting well yesterday, and with good care and attention he will likely recover. The shooting was purely an accident, and no blame is attached to the boy who flrei the gun. LANCASTER. News, October, 11: Mrs. Martha j Brazzel, an aged lady of Heath Springs, died last Friday. She was the widow of Jack Brazzel and was about 75 years of age. She leaves two daughters and five sons Mrs. Kate Osborn, Mrs. Vicey McCraven and Messrs. Andrew, William. Sim, Levi* and Newton Brazzell. The remains were buried Sunday at Old Salem cemetery Mr. Jackson Crlminger, son or Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Criminger. of this county, died Sunday night, of consumption, aged about 27 years. He was unmarried. Mr. Criminger was a worthy and industrious young man and had many friends who | will regret to learn of his untimely death. The burial was at Fork Hill Sunday Mr. Berkley Stogner, son of the late S. H. Stogner, and Miss Dora Crenshaw, daughter of Mr. Lewis Crenshaw, of the eastern portion of the county, were married last Sunday night, by the Rev*. R. J. Blackmon Mr. T. F. McDow of the Yorkville bar, was in Lancaster Monday on professional business County Treasurer William Columbus Cauthen, whose critical illness was noted in these columns last week died of paralysis of the bowels, last Monday about midday, at the home of Mr. T. S. Carter, where, as previously stated, he had resided for several years. Mr. Cauthen was strving his seventh year as county treasurer, having first been elected to that rpsnonsthl*- nnsition in 1898. The large vote he then received, and the handsome majorities given him in subsequent elections, attested in no uncertain manner the unbounded confidence reposed in him by his fellow citizens. Mr. Cauthen was, unquestionably, one of the most faithful and efficient public officers Lancaster county has ever had. On the occasion of his last visit to this place. Comptroller General Jones said that in his judgment, Mr. Cau'hen was the best county treasurer In the state. Mr. Cauthen was a son of the late Barksdale Cauthen and Mrs. Julia Cauthen and a grandson of Dr. W. C. Cauthen, one of the signers of the Ordinance of Secession. He was born February 12. 1870; and was therefore, in his 36th year. When a lad. twelve years of age, Mr. Cauthen met with an accident which made him a cripple for life. He was thrown from a wagon while the mules were running away. For eight years thereafter he was confined to his bed. He finally recovered sufficiently to be able to use a roller chair, which he continued to use up to his last illness. During his long confinement in bed. after his accident, Mr. Cauthen practically educated himself, devoting much of the time to hard, laborious study. He also read a great deal, becoming familiar with many of the standard works of literature. He also frequently wrote articles for magazines and newspapers, writing usually under the nom de plume of "Junius." He was a cogent, forceful writer, and his contributions were always enjoyed y the reading public. Mr. Cauthen is survived by his mother. Mrs. Julia Cauthen of the Oakhurst section: one brother Mr. Martin Cauthen of this place, and two sisters, Misses Agnes and Janie Cauthen, the latter being a half-sister. The remains were buried at Hanging Rock church yesterday morning, at 11 o'clock, the Rev. R. E. Turnlpseed of Lancaster, and the Rev.

David Schenck Craig died at the home of his uncle, R. R. Cox at Dardenelle, Ark. His sister, Miss Lizzie Craig, reached his bedside three or four days before, and was a comfort and solace to him until the immediate presence of death smote away his consciousness and his life together; Thursday evening Miss Lizzie took the train with the body reaching Gastonla at 6 o'clock Saturday vening. She was accompanied as far Asheville by Dr. McKenzie, her brother's faithful physician. At Spartanburg she was met by her brother, Mr. T. T. Craig. A large outpouring of friends and relatives met the train at the station here. The body was taken to the house of Mr. Clyde Craig, a [brother, and from there it was carried to Union church for burial Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. In the presence of what is perhaps the largest funeral | gathering ever seen at this church the last rites were performed. The house was filled and large numbers stood reverently outside. It Is estimated that at least 50 persons attended from Gastonla. The funeral services were conducted by the family's devoted pastor, Rev. G. A. Sparrow. He was assisted by Revs. R. A. Miller of Lowell, J. B. Cochrane of New Hope, and R. C. Anderson of Gastonla.

McLean, and Miss Lizzie Craig. THE SERVANT PROBLEM. Sensible Sermon by Rev. J. W. Daniel of Columbia. That the servant problem Is equal In importance with the great Issues of the day, notably the negro question Is the idea of Rev. J. W. Daniel, pastor of the Washington Street Methodist church, and he ably demonstrated it in a short and practical talk last evening. Each Sunday evening Rev. Mr. Daniels deals with some vital issue of the time, more or less in an Informal way and without preparation. Last evening he used as a foundation for his remarks certain Biblical texts, among them a number of verses from one of St. Paul's epistles, telling of the treatment of a serving maid, and a verse from the 22nd chapter of Isaiah, which also dealt with the relationship of the servant ; to the master. "There are few homes I have visited In Columbia," he said, "In which the servant problem is not discussed." And then he declared that the problem is not confined to any one section but is general throughout all, extending even to Germany, England Canada and Australia. Thus we conclude that it is not a lack in our own civilization that makes the problem so evident. He was proud of the fact that servants were now so hard to obtain and to keep, for this shows a growing democracy and advancement?a sign that men and women even of the lowest grade are beginning to think for themselves and not to depend on the minds of others. It has long been discovered that wherever democracy most thrives there will be the servant problem. Thus it is perhaps best seen in our own United States, next to Canada, then in England and then in Germany?always the proportionate problem balancing the democracy of the government. And with this democracy the term "servant" falls Into disuse and In its place the word "help" is now largely employed. Some socialists and political economists have declared that this Is the solution of the problem, and that "help," not "servants." is the rightful answer to the great question. There are many things now infringing on the old "home," among them the boarding house, light housekeeping and the flat system. All lessen the Idea of a home and when the home is dethroned all else that is worthy must go with It. There Is now a demand by certain writers that servants must be placed upon a plane with any other workers ?just as high a plane as the department store clerks. They should live in clubs, work on an even hour scale and answer to the master and not an entire household. The census now shows a remarkable decrease both in male and female servants. While we make the statement that "so many of them are worthless," yet placed in their positions we would rebel as much, if not more, than they do. "We must come to recognize men as men and women as women and to crown all work," said Mr. Daniel. "The world is too full of aspirations and high thought not to live on such a plane. All men are creatures of one Lord." Passing from generalities to things at home, Rev. Mr. Daniel remarked on certain peculiarities of southerners, singling out the fact that Charlestonians had criticised him for running for a street car and for carrying a bundle under his arm. While more democratic here, still there are certain customs, traditions and ideas which have been born with us and which we do not seem to be able to shake off. One of these is that It is a disgrace for a housewife to appear at the door with her hands covered with dough. Rev. Mr. Daniels thinks that white people have little concern for the moral side of their servants' lives. The spotted woman, no matter how white her skin may be, cannot enter the door of the home, but In the kitchen (he used the word, "stove room") it matters not how loose may be the life of the cook. It Is the duty of the housewife to encourage right, and to discourage wrong. We must tremble when we realize ?and all southerners know It?that the moral condition of the colored race, as a mass, Is worse now than ever before. At the low wages at which they are employed we may expect our cooks to carry home food with them. Here Dr. Daniel told an amusing personal story In which one bucket grew to a larger one and finally to a basket, which In turn was then carried by a small colored girl, presumably the cook's daughter, and flrot nnp trln after breakfast soon Included another after dinner. The duty of women Is to teach these servants morality and respectability. If all the money, said the preacher, that has been spent on education of the mind had been applied to the morals of the other race we would see better conditions. One way he advocates in which to check the evil Is In each city an organization of the housewives and servant employers, who will always demand a certificate of good character and who will employ no discharged servant for a time and who will refuse to endeavor to secure servants from other employers by means of more money. There must be every convenience In the stove room, for the servants and other southern girls must be taught the manual and democratic labor of the cooking school. No problem Is greater?not even the negro question, said he.?Columbia State. Aoainst Hatl,es3 Women.?In the current Issue of the Gospel Messenger, the official organ of the Central New York Diocese of the Protestant Episcopal church. Bishop Charles Tyler Olmsted has an article agalnBt the appearance of hatless women in church. The article says in part: "After all that Is or has been or can be said or done concerning the equality of the sexes and the rights or privileges of women there Is a difference which cannot be Ignored. Men are men and women are women, and they always will be; and St. Paul, recognizing the distinction, made a rule for the Christian church by which that distinction should be marked in public worship. It is not necessary to inquire what he meant by men and women 'dishonoring their heads,' but he arranged, for reasons that seemed good to him, that men should pray or prophesy with uncovered and women with covered heads; and that practice has been universal throughout Christendom for nineteen hundred years, so that it has become an unseemly thing for men to wear their hats and for women to be bareheaded in church. We are well aware that as yet comparatively few, and they chiefly the very young have adopted the practice of which we speak, and it may be only a passing fad, soon to disappear, but while it lasts, and for those who do indulge In it, we think it to be deprecated, and we could wish that the clergy generally would do what they can In a gentle way, speaking privately to individuals, to discourage it."
