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."
A Lawyktr Surprised.?This story
comes from Representative Candler of
Mississippi: "An important will case,
Involving several thousand dollars, was
before the court for trial. 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? Unfortunate.?A certain
merchant of Baltimore, who Is known
for his philanthropic spirit, was approached
one day by an Irishman, formerly
In hla employ, who made a
touching appeal for financial assistance.
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!"

"Jim, I shall be here until next Wednesday
night and then this will be

"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. Presently his former

This story Is told, by the Boston Herald.
of Lord Denbigh's visit to Boston
with the Honorable Artillery Company
of London:
One day while passing the Old Granary
burying ground Lord Denbigh
turned to Governor Bates and asked:
"What Is going on over there? I
have noticed that these churchyards
of yours seem to be the scene of some
strange activity."
"Oh, that's one phase of the mining
craze," replied the governor.
"What. grubbing for gold in a
churchyard? Why. that's vandalism."
"Oh. it's not gold these grubbers are
after; it's ancestors." was the governor's
reply, with a smile.

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.

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

took the train with the body reaching
Gastonla at 6 o'clock Saturday
vening. She was accompanied as far

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."
