^'tumorous Department. Submerging of the Ego. Back in his home city, in the bluegrass empire, says Brooklyn I-ife. they love to tell some good stories of their much honored John O. Carlisle and those pleasant nights at the banquet board illuminated with the scintillant wit. Occasionally, too, the aftermath of the banquet board comes in for a share of reminiscence. Two men of the bright coterie gathered about Senator Carlisle in those rare times will not soon be forgotten in their section?one the aristocratic on,t tiitr.hrn mod Hamilton. the other the witty and irresistible Irish counselor and orator, Hallam. With Carlisle, they made a trio of cronies seldom matched. All lived on Garrard avenue, and to this day the older residents along that street recall with tender reminiscent grins how gallantly the three would oft escort one another home in the hours "ayant the twal." But one night (or morning?) there was a strange perplexity. The bell of the Carlisle residence kept ringing distractedly. Neighbors peeped out, seeing only the thre familiars on the top step. Wouldn't the latchkey work? Finally an upper window opened and the madam, never overpatient with this state of things, asked, in exasperated tones: "What is the matter down there?" "Mrs. Carlisle," answered Hallam. with a tongue rather less glib than was its wont, "we have brought home the senator." "Oh, well," she returned, impatiently, "just stand him up in the doorway and go on. I'll come and get him." "We would gladly do it, madam." re joined the Irishman, debonairely, "Only ?you will have to come down and pick him out." To Save Trouble. ? Rafferty was about to be operated upon for the fourth time for appendicitis. The surgeons were all ready to begin as soon as the anaesthetic was administered and stood about with their knives, needles and other paraphernalia in readiness. The patient, with the memory of other operations fresh in his mind, asked if he could make a suggestion. "Certainly," said the doctor in charge. "Thin, doctor," said Rafferty, "don't ye think yez had better put me together wid hooks and eyes this toime?" ?National Monthly. Two Cases.?The clerk of arraigns on assize was swearing the jury when a juryman said: "Speak up! I cannot hear what you say." The presiding judge asked him if he was deaf. "Yes, my lord, of one ear." "Well," responded the judge, you may go, for it is necessary that jurymen should hear both sides." Another judge, however, on a like objection, said: "Oh, let him be sworn. We only hear one side of a case at a time."? Exchange. A Correction.?The habit of contradicting sometimes "o'erleaps itself" unwitting. "I've heard it said," remarked a lounger at th ecrossroads store, "that John Henderson over by Woodville was one of eighteen sons." "That's whar he heerd wrong," contributed the chronic kicker.

FROM NEIGHBORING EXCHANGES News and Comment About Things In and Around the Country. Gastonia Gazette, September 13: Humors are c urrent <>n the street that Gastonia is to have a new hank. The Gazette is informed that the rumors are well-founded, hut just at present no details of the new enterprise are available for publication. Something definite may he given out at an early date, however The city schools began the session of 1910-11 yesterday morning with a total enrollment of about 825. All of the teachers were present, classes were organized and the work of the year started otY quickly and smoothly. Fuller particulars of the opening will appear Friday. The Gazette expects during the session to carry a regular department giving all the news of the city schools, furnished l?y someone in close contact with the schools. This will be an interesting feature to many of our readers Mrs. D. A. dine, who was quite painfully bruised in a runaway Sunday afternoon. is reported today as being much better, having about recovered from her injuries. Mr. and Mrs. Cline were driving when the breaking of the shafts caused the horse to become frightened and run throwing both of the occupants of the buggy to the ground. Mr. Cline was not injured.... If there's more fun than catching a fox, it's catching two foxes. At least that was the belief of those Gaston countians who are fond of chasing Reynard in his native haunts. A party composed of Messrs. W. N. Davis, John Falls, Howard Falls, W. C. Abernathy and Warren Neil, left Gaston ia on Monday, the 5th, for Hamlet. At Rockingham they were joined by Mr. Jim Falls, who had been on a hunt in the vicinity of Ellerbee Springs. The party returned to Gastonia Saturday, having bagged eleven grey foxes in the four days they were actually on the hunt. Two of these they brought back alive; the hides of the other nine were brought back. Lancaster News, September 14: Mr. Albert Cunningham, who lives near the Kershaw county line, had a difficulty with Dave Patterson, a negro on his place, a few da\-3 ago, in which Patterson was shot three times, twice in the arm and once in the shoulder. The arm had to be amputated. Patterson is from Liberty Hill Comptroller General Jones of Columbia, was here Monday to examine the books of County Auditor Horton and County Treasurer Hilton, and at the conclusion of his task, took occasion to con KTailllUlt* lllf OIIII'IUIO Illl lilt- C.W rutin condition in which he found their records. The books in both offices were found to be in perfect shape Mr. W. J. Ixmg of Elgin exhibited here Monday a lot of cotton bolls from the farm of Mr. Joe Hagins in that community, showing the serious damage being done to the crop by some unknown pest, which bores holes in the bolls, causing them to rot. It is not known whether it is a worm or an insect, as the destroyer has not yet been seen. Thus far its ravages have been confined to one variety of the plant, the "Cook Improved." Other farmers in the neighborhood who planted the same kind of seed report that their cotton is also being damaged in a similar manner....A serious difficulty occurred last Thursday in Kershaw county between Messrs. Joseph Phillips and Samuel Williams, at Mr. Marion Gardner's place. Mr. Phillips was shot twice, in the mouth and in the body. His condition is reported to be very grave. The cause of the trouble is not known here....A mass meeting was held in the court house Monday night in the interest of the large industrial school it is proposed to establish at Antioch. An address on the subject was made by the Rev. O. L. Stringfield, one of the leading workers for the school. The proposition is to establish a $150,000 plant provided 400 acres of land are contributed to the praiseworthy enterprise. Much of the money needed has already been subscribed. No definite action was taken at Monday's night meeting. Fort Mill Times, September 15: Mr. Elmore Crook left his home in Fort Mill township a few days ago for Lit tie Rock, union county, where ho is to have charge of the school during the fall and winter session Prof. J. A. Boyd left Monday morning for Liberty Hill, where he will be engaged during the 1910-11 session of the public school as principal... .At the September meeting of the town council, held last Tuesday evening, impetus was given the proposed waterworks system for Fort Mill by accepting the offer of an Atlanta firm of civil engineers to make a survey of the town and furnish a detailed statement of the cost of the plant. The engineers have been informed of the action of the council and it is expected that tin- survey will be made at once Capt. T. B. Spratt of the Fort Mill Light infantry is one of a number of South Carolina National Guard officers who have signed a letter of recommendation indorsing Assistant Adjutant tJeneral \V. T. Brock lor reappointment. It will be recalled that charges were preferred against Col. Brock by Adjutant General Boyd some months ago and that a court of inquiry investigated the charges. The findings of the court were submitted to Governor Ansel, but he has taken no action Work on the new building lor the Fort Mill graded school is moving along at a rapid rate and the building committee is hopeful that it will be finished and ready for occupancy not later than October 5. The present quarters of the school, in the old academy building, are overcrowded with 200 pupils and Jill are looking forward with pleasure to the day when the new building is turned over to the trustees for the use of the school. Aside from the fact that the new building will be more suited to the needs of the school, it is more centrally located than the old school nouse anu in tnis respect win prove a gnat convenience to a majority of the pupils Two hundred hales of cotton on 150 acres of Port Mill lownsliip land may sound exaggerated to tliose who have not seen tile farm of Mr. Kdgar Jones, two miles west of town, hut the cotton is there on the acreage indicated, in the opinion of dozens of its g farmers as this section hoasts. Not a few of the more eiitliusiastic farmers who have visited Mr. Jones' place during the last fortnight say he will make more than 20i? hales. Some place the yield its high as 250 hales. Whatever the yield, the crop prospect oil Mr. Jones' plantation is a revelation to all who see it. and it is doubtful whether there is another such cotton field in South Carolina outside the Pee I lee section. Certain it is that there is not it like field in this section of the state. And the land which promises such an abundant yield is net considered more fertile than thousands of other acres in the township. Then, what means has Mr. Jones adopted to make three stalks of cotton, each averaging half a hundred bolls, gnnv where one grew before whose burden was less than a dozen bolls? To his foresight in the liberal use of a high-grade fertilizer and to the skillful work of his superintendent, Mr. T. II. Merritt. in cultivating the cotton is due the promised extraordinary yield... .There was some talk in Fort Mill during the last week of Mr. S. H. I'pps. Sr.. tiling a Contest with the state executive coinmittc for the seat to which I >r. J. II. Save has apparently been elected in the general assembly, but Mr. Kpps has refused to file such claim and the proposed contest has been abandoned. It will be recalled that there was some doubt about I ?r. Save complying with the rules of the party by failing to tile his pledge with the county chairman before the time limit expired on August 13, and that the matter was considered at a special meeting of the county executive committee at Tirzah a few days after the campaign opened. The committee ruled that Dr. Saye was entitled to become a candidate and that his name should go on the official ballot, though members of the committee afterwards expressed the opinion that the decision was clearly a violation of the party rules and that if Dr. Sa.ve should defeat any other candidate for nomination the defeated candidate would have a Rood case before the state executive committee. Something was said at the Tirzah meetin.it about an agreement among the candidates for the general assembly waiving the right to contest the seat of Dr. Sa.ve, but no such agreement was entered, the Times is informed. Since Mr. Epps has refused to contest the seat of Dr. Saye it is :,l - !./? th.. riirhtu ??f of the other three defeated candidates, Messrs. Glasseoek, Walltice or Gettys. to tile a claim for the seat. Rock Hill Herald, September 14: Resinning Thursday night at 8 o'clock, there will he a protracted meeting held at the A. R. P. church, to continue through Sahbath night. Rev. J. Meek White of New Sterling, N. C., will do the preaching. The annual fall communion will he held Sahbath morning at 11 o'clock Mr. Herbert Walker of Edgmoor and Miss Myra Chambers of Moultrie, Ga., were married Sunday evening at the A. R. R. parsonage by Rev. R. A. hummus Mr. S. J. Kimball, on Monday sold to Mr. Sam Paris of the King's Mountain neighborhood, one of his farms lying west of town. We are glad to welcome Mr. Paris into our community as he is considered one of the best farmers in King's Mountain township. Mr. Kimball has three other one hundred-acre tracts adjoining this farm which are for sale. All in high state of cultivation, which is known as the London lands It now looks as if the commissioners of public works will without further delay proceed to the erection of an electric light plant for the city of Rock Hill as all etYorts to purchase the plants of the Rock Hill Water and Electric company, at a price to be put by arbitration, have failed. Since last Saturday up to Monday night President A. P. Maloney of the Water and Electric company. Attorney P. A. Wilcox and H. T. Hartman, their consulting engineer, have been here in conference with the commissioners and with Wilson & Wilson, attorneys for the commission and the city council. The object of the meeting was for the execution of the articles of agreement, which it was supposed had been agreed upon between the commission s uiiu iin-* utMiipaii^ auu a|'|iMMi:u ?-?.> the city council. It appears however, that Messrs. Wilson & Wilson had advised both the commissioners and the city council that under the act of the legislature the commissioners could only use proceeds of the bonds in the purchase or construction for water works and electric plants and that in their opinion the franchise was not any part of "plant"' under the act creating the board of public works statute. Upon this advice the city council passed a resolution concurring the proposed action of the commissions as set forth in the agreement "as far as they are by law authorized." The effect of this was to authorize the commission to include the franchise in the purchase if they could legally do so. Accordingly Messrs. Wilson, being instructed to notify Mr. Wilson as attorney for the company of the action of the commission and city council, enclosed resolutions of the city council accompanied with statement of their opinion as attorney at law to the same effect as that he advised the city council and commissioners that under the terms of the act that the commissioners could only pay for water and electric light plants and that a franchise constituted no part of a plant. This of course was only an expression of Messrs. Wilson's legal opinion and could have no force or effect in altering the terms of the contract. The Rock Hill Water and Electric company, however, we understand, based their refusal to sign the agreement on the ground of this opinion of Messrs. Wilson as expressed in their letter to Mr. Wilcox and insisted upon the terms of the agreement to be altered in such a way as to require the award of the arbitrators to be passed upon by the courts. This the commissioners declined to agree to as involving them not only in litigation, but in a needless waste of time and in convincing them that the company does not wish a settlement by arbitration. Chester Lantern, September 14: The new city water plant has just been completed and is now in operation. It is pronounced by people who know to be one of the finest water plants of any city in the south and certainly none in this section of South Carolina can begin to compare with it in its equipment, its efficiency, and its service. Altogether it is something which citizens of the city can feel a justifiable pride in and those of the taxpayers who have seen and examined it arc loud in their praises of the well engineered and successful plan in building it....The end of one of the strongest campaigns in the history of Chester county came to a close at 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. f rom tne tune that tlie polls opened in the morning until they closed in the afternoon there was a steady stream of voters going and coming to and from the polls. Much interest centered in the race for auditor and the friends of both contestants for the place were hard at work all over the county for their man. There was a good deal of interest shown in the race for governor also and both Please and Featherstone had plenty of workers in the county and they were hard at it all day William McLeod, the ten year old son of Rev. and Mrs. I>. M. McLeod was run over by an automobile last night on York street and injured, although not seriously. He was removed to the hospital and given medical attention and examination revealed that no bones were broken and no permanent injury sustained. It is thought that he will be all right in a few days. It seems that the boy was swinging on behind a wagon going up York street about dusk. Mayor R. lb Hardin and Mr. Madison itoss were going up York street just in the rear of the wagon. They slowed down thinking the wagon was going to turn into pine street, but tiie wagon went on up York street, the boy however dropping off at Pine street, and right in front of the automobile. One of the lamps of the automobile hit the boy behind his head and the machine passed over the hoy's body, the wheels however never touching him. He was removed at once to the hospital where examination showed nothing serious Mr. J. 1 >. Pelts died last Friday at the Magdalene hospital, after an illness of two weeks duration, lie having been in bad health for some days. However, his ease was not considered serious until Friday. After close examination by his physician, it was considered that an operation was necessary.

The train from out the castle drew, , "Though something I might plain," lie said, "Of cold respect to stranger guest. Sent hither by your king's behest. While in Tantallon's towers I stay'd, Part we in friendship from your land, And, noble Earl, receive my hand." Hut Douglas round him drew his cloak, Folded his arms, and thus he spoke: "My manors, halls, and bowers shall still Be open, at my sovereign's will. To each one whom he lists, how'er Unmeet to ho the owner's peer. My castles are my king's alone. From turret to foundation-stone; The hand of Douglas Is his own, And never shall in friendly grasp The hand of such as Marmion clasp." Burn'd Marmlon's swarthy cheek like fire. And shook his very frame for ire. And. "This to me!" he said; "And 'twere not for thy hoary heard, Such hand as Marmion's had not spared To cleave the Douglas' head! And. first, I tell thee, haughty Peer, He who does England's message here, Although the meanest in her State. May well, proud Angus, he thy mate: And, Douglas, more I tell thee here. Even in thy pitch of pride, Here in thy hold, thy vassals near (Nay, never look upon your lord And lay your hands upon your sword,) I tell thee, thou'rt defied. And, if thou said'st I am not peer To any lord in Scotland here. Lowland or Highland, far or near. Lord Angus, thou hast lied!" On the Earl's cheek the flush of rage O'ercame the ashen hue of age; Fierce he broke forth, "And darest thou then To beard the lion in his den, The Dougles in his hall? And hopes thou hence unscathed to go? No, by Saint Pride of Bothwell, no! Up drawbridge, grooms,?what. Warder, ho! I^et the portcullis fall." Lord Marmion turn'd,?well was his need!? And dash'd the rowels in his steed. Like arrow through the archway sprung; The ponderous gate behind him rung: To pass there was such scanty room. The bars, descending, razed his plume. The steed along the drawbridge flies, Just as it trembled on the rise: Not lighter does the swallow skim Along the smooth lake's level brim; And, when Lord Marmion reached his band. He halts, and turns with clenched hand. And shout of loud defiance pours, And shook his gauntlet at the towers. Sir Walter Scott. HOW THEY BROUGHT THE GOOD NEWS FROM GHENT TO AIX. I sprang to the stirrup, and Joris, and he; I galloped, Dirck galloped, we galloped all three; "Good speed!" cried the watch, as the gate-bolts undrew; "Speed!" echoed the wall to us galloping through; Behind shut the postern, the lights sank to rest. And into the midnight we galloped abreast. Not a word to each other; we kept the great pace Neck by neck, stride by stride, never changing our place; I turned in my saddle and made its girths tight, Then shortened each stirrup, and set the pifjue right, Rebuckled the check-strap, chained slacker the bit. Nor galloped less steadily Itoland a whit. 'Twas moonset at starting; but while we drew near Lokeren, the cocks crew, and twilight dawned clear; At Boom, a great yellow star came out to see; At Duffeld, 'twas morning as plain as could be; And from Mecheln church-steeple we heard the half-chime. So Joris broke silence with, "Yet there is time!" At Aerschot, up leaped of a sudden the sun, And against him the cattle stood black every one. To stare thro' the mist at us galloping past. And 1 saw my stout galloper Roland at lust. With resolute shoulders, each butting away The haze, as some bluff river headland its spray. And his low head and crest, just one sharp ear bent back For my voice, and the other pricked out on his track; And one eye's black intelligence,? ever that glance O'er its white edge at me, his own master, askance! [And the thick heavy spume-flakes which aye and anon His fierce lips shook upward in galloping on. By Hasselt, Dirck groaned; and cried Joris, "Stay spur! Your Itoos galloped bravely, tbe fault's not in her; We'll remember at Aix"?for one heard the quick wheeze Of her chest, saw the stretched neck. and staggering' knees. And sunk tail, and horrible heave of the tlank. As down on her haunches she shuddered and sank. So we were left galloping. Joris and T. Past Look and past "''ongres, no cloud in the sky; The broad sun above laughed a pitiless laugh, "Neath our feet broke tin- brittle bright stubble like chaff: Till over by Dalhem a dome-spire sprang white. And "CJallop." gasped Joris, "for Aix is in sight!" "How they'll greet us!"?and all in a moment his roan Rolled neck and croup over, lay dead as a stone: And there was my Roland to bear the whole weight of the news which alone could save Aix front her fate, With his nostrils like pits full of blood to the brim. And with circles of red for his eyesockets' rim. Then I cast loose my buff coat, each holster let fall. Shook off both my jaek-l let go licit and all. Stood up in the stirrup, leaned, palled his ear. t'ailed my Roland his pet-name, my horse without peer: ('lapped my hands, laughed and sang. any noise, bail or good.

J., is an old company with traditions and ideals and with vast experience. There is no hazard of inexperience involved in becoming a member of such an institution. So much for Security. i The second consideration is the Contract. It is almost an axiom that Mutual Benefit policies contain special and peculiar advantages not combined in the policies of other companies. The final consideration is Cost. In buying a suit of clothes, or any other commodity, price is not the first con- 1 sideration. Price depends directly upon quality. When you buy a suit you look about until you see something that satisfies you, something that is substantial .something that will be serviceable. Having found it you speak of the cost. The net cost of Mutual Benefit insurance is low by reason of the economy with which the Company is ad- 1 ministered, its low mortality and its. profitable and stable investments. If you insist on Quality, combined with the lowest cost consistent with | absolute security, you will eventually insure with the Mutual Benefit, the Leading Annual Dividend Company. Don't lose sight or the tact that tne man who buys insurance is the one , who pays the freight, and that wise men look out for their own interests , and buy from the agent who is able to ( furnish undoubted proof that he has ( the best goods. All companies are not "about the same." An investigation will convince the most skeptical. SAM M. GRIST, Special Agent. j YORKVILLE MONUMENT WORKS ' (THE OLD RELIABLE.) YORKVILLE, S.
