Pride in State.-From BHrylaod to Texas, and Missouri to [Brida, the Southern States have been JBerously vying with one another, ,|l?flr?Dg palmetto, the red, white and ogcB> Southern battle-flagB and State rs^BiDers.

Pridein'Patriotism.-There B been a healthful 'national spirit Spine in the South in these later ,?8, and one readily discernable. 88 Surs and Stripes have floated Band there, even at a Confederate ? Bnion, though many of the older ORHgration of "Southerners--especially Ben and among the Vets-still ^fie the inborn hatred to the national Bra; as to them they jaean '?Federal" H'Yankee," and the memory of Re-s of slaves, carpetbag rule, etc. Bill take time, more than a-genera , and more than a Spanish war, or > more than the presence'of one of ey s cruifi?rs-the'Haleigh-flying e colors in the(harbor of Sumter Moultrie, to make a Southerner, "ally of the Carolinian 'type, use for "OW Glory"/*s he does , lia local flag.

The great procession of the gray, on Wednesday afternoon, many of them one-armed, others hob bling along with one leg. some in the rough, worn, treasured gray of over thirty years ago, marching uuder rid dled and battered flags, behind the old gun "Secesh," that fired the first volley for secession in 1861-was pa thetic, and many a tear fell as well as cheer rose. "We think this may bc the last of all our Reunions," was often said before this Charleston af fair, but, in matter of fact, Louisville was chosen for 1900, with no diminu tion of zeal or enthusiasm. Fifth. Pride in Heroes.-To be brave in danger, to give all for the South, to suffer, to fight, to die in ? battle, hospital, or prison-or to bc ready to-were the strains that in spired the orators and thc poets of thc occasion. When little fighting Joe Wheeler was introduced as the hero of two ware, and the well-known story was told of how he. forgetting his environment, shouted at San Juan hill: "The Yankees are on the run,'' grey-haired men cheered till they cried, exhausted; and the Southern women became themselves diamonds of radiance in their devotion to the hero of the hour. Old Wade Hamp ton was, however, the hero of the Re union of 1899, and the loss, within a month, of his South Carolina home by fire made the hearts of all tender toward the bravest Carolinian of them all. Sixth. Pride in Women.-Many felt that the Reunion of 1899 might well pass for a sort of Inter-State display of the handsome women of the South. Instead of one for a State, many camps this year sent sponsors and maids of honor with now, bright silk banners. Miss Winnie Davis, "the Daughter of the Confederacy," was the heroine of the memorial ser vice, and Miss Nannie Randolph Heth, of Washington, was chief sponsor. On what other occasion could Gen. Gordon have literally "embraced" Mrs. Stonewall Jackson on the stage, "for them all," without offending propri eties? After expressing appreciation of President McKinley's attitude, the Veterans voted that "the care of the final resting places is a sacred trust, dear to tho hearts of Southern women, and we believe that we can safely let it there remain." . GEO. R. CUTTING, Summerville, S. C., May 12, 1899. Bad management keeps more people 1 io poor circumstances tsaa say ether one causo. Tc be suooessiul one must look ahead and plan ahead so that when a favorable opportunity presents itself he is ready to take advantage of it. A little forethought will also save much expense and valuable time. A prudent and careful man will keep a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in the house, the shiftless fellow will wait until necessity compels it and then ruin'his best horse going for a doctor and have a big doctor bill to pay, besides; one Says out 25 cents, the other is out a undred dollars and then wonders why his neighbor is getting richer while he is getting poorer.

Sereu SaurUfled Sisters. They say that the best hotel in Texas is to bc found at Helton, a town on thc Santa Fe road, and is kept by "seven sanctified sisters," as the proprietors are properly called. Several years ago, says the Chicago Record, a woman in that place and her husband quar reled over the best way of expounding the scriptures to a Sunday Behool class, and were so stubborn that they separated and were finally divorced. The family controversy was taken up by the town, which was soon distinctly divided between the adherents of the husband aud thc wife. The result was a large crop of divorces, and seven husbaudless women, including thc original cause of tho commotion, join ed together and rented the town hotel, j One of them did the cooking, another was parlor maid, aud the third made up thc beds, and 8,0 they divided the work among them, and rau the estab lishment on the co-operative plan. They would not employ a mau about the place, although thc most of thc patrons were men, of cuur?c. People say that women travelers preferred to stop elsewhere, and that would be a woman's way. One of the seven "sanctified sisters" used to drive a big carry-all down to the railway sta tion three or four times a day to meet trains, but she let the regular transfer company handle the luggage. Thc hotel prospered from thc begin ning, and there was no reason why it should not, for everything was neat and homelike and the cooking was the best in Texas, which J aot saying much, perhaps, but is a good reason why it was appreciated. Every Sun day it was crowded. The drummers used to swarm there from all the northern-central parts of the State, and every passenger on the Santa Fe trains was an advertisement agent. The "sanctified sisters" made money, as they deserved to do; they enlarged their establishment and started a laundry in connection with it, where the drummers left their soiled clothes to be done up while they were out during the week. Then the "sisters" bought a hotel at Waco and ??tarted a laundry there, with equal success, and now they are talking of starting one in New York. -..ama qi tmi "Don't Want a W linn gd o od le. A New York man who caters to the entertainment of interior towns has received this letter from a committee in Connecticut : "We are going to tear up the earth in our town on the fourth. We are all in it. The churches began to do the oyster racket last winter, and have qi?ite a sum for our fund. The mis sionary offerings hare also been turn ed over to us, to use as we see fit. Everything in town is a benefit ; our merchants give 1, 2,3, 5 end 10 cents, according to the article, on all they Be!!, aud that has grown to be con siderable. "Soma of the best society women in the town have agreed to do without certain extras for the summer, and have contributed the amount to our fund. "The street car company has offered to give 1 cent of every fare collected 'the lasti week before the fourth, so lots of people ure going to ride who never rode before. "What we want you to do is to look around fer an orator for the occasion. We have everything else. We want an up-to-date, wholesale expansionist who can not only fire the Ephesian dome, but rebuild it and paint it red der than the old one. "We don't want any Bunker Hill, Saratoga, Lexington or Concord calk, and we don't want to hear anything about Gettysburg or Sherman's march to the sea, or Appomattox, or the Rebel yell, or the blue and the gray. That's all right in its place. "But we are going'to have a new Fourth of July-one right up-to-date, starting in with Santiago and stretch ing over to the Philippines. We are going to bring out what St. John saw, or what he said he saw, on the island of Patmos-something new. "Don't 3tn ns any talker who can't fill the bill, or who will play the whangdoodle, or we will take him out and 8hellroad him if you do. "Here's the chance of his life for a new orator." This committee backs up its propo sition by offering to pay the price if the right article oan be found, and the manager is now looking up what is wanted. W. M. Gallagher, of Bryan, Pa., says: '''For forty years I havo tried various cough medicines. One Minute Cough Cure is best of all." It re lieves instantly and cures all throat and lung troubles. Evans Pharmacy. - "What are you doing, Tommy?" "Standin' before the looking glass," said Tommy ; "I wanted to soe how I would look if I was twins." - Mae-"I promised to give him my answer to-day." Ethel-"Well, don't accept him until you find out what kind of an engagement ring he is going to give you. Some men are so stingy about such things." What you want is not temporary re lief from piles but a cure to stay cur ed. Dewitt's Witch Hazel Salve cures piles, .and they stay cured. Evans Pharmacy. Remarried Divorced Husband. liu.uHiuu:, S. 1)., June '.).-Thc re turn to this town ot! u man and woman divorced live years ago, but who are again husband and wile, adds the last chapter to a romantic ?tory of love and war. Five yours ago Henry Hallan!vue and wife of this place agreed to sepa rate. They had been married not quite twelve months, ballantyne was a prosperous grain buyer, and owned several good farms near Highinore. These ho deeded to his wife. Tho few hundred dollars ho was able to scrape together in cash he put into his own pocket, and left to begin life afresh in u new location. As soon as be had gone Iiis wife sued for n divorce. There was no defence and iv decree was granted. The land given her by her husband she sold to advantage, and by shrewd reinvest ments accumulated a comfortable for tune. The past winter she spent in South ern California. On hei way home a mouth ago she stopped temporarily in San Francisco. On tue street there one day she met un emaciated ligure in army blue, hobbling about with the aid of a heavy cane, in vain search for employment, lt was Hall an ty nc dis charged from the United States volun teer service and invalided home]froiii the Philippines after a fever. Hallnutyne was about to pass Iiis former wife without speaking to her, but she, when she saw his wasted form und miserable condition, spoke to him, aud took him to her hotel, where com fortable quarters, good food, and the services or competent physicians soon groduced a marked improvement in his ealth. Last week the |two were re married, and have just rot urned to H i gilmore together. --? ^. What is Kodol Dyspepsia Cure?

Tea women of Syracuse, in'western Kansas, have decided to renounce cus tom and fashion and will in future, during the stormy season, wear di vided skirts. The women who live on thc plains of western Kansas have long hoped that -uuic community would declare against long skirts du ring the season when the wind sweeps over that region at a velocity of thir ty-five miles an hour. It is certain that many other communities will in augurate this new custom. Kditor Henry Black, of Syracuse, says thc women of that town will hereafter appear in divided skirts during thc windstorm season, and that those who have not the new style skirt will not hesitate to wear the trousers of their husbands and brothers, without regard to the comments and jeers of those who foolishly follow custom and fash ion. - Kxehuntje, - During the last 20 years thc American Bible Society has put into circulation in Mexico 000.370 Bibles, Testaments and portions of thc Bible.
