ARE WOME 9ssssBssessssesa ; ... / j?l Xjady Comments or jec Editor?Anderson Intelligencer : The idle hours of an idle woman hare led me to think that comment made oooakiobally on pointed subjects in The Intelligencer might find read ing during! thje idle moments of anoth er woman. Comment, ; for instance: "Are, wo men stingy<?T Many women on con sidering that subject said, "i'.V.'' It. has been said a woman can throw out through the window with a spoon more than a man can bring i? through the .door with a shovel. Laughably, i? she liberal? A man says she needs but a glance at tho dry goods window und her heart and pocket both leave her; and a young man says athletics taught him to run quickly from the confec tioner's stand or ruin stared him in the appeal of her face. This is her* lib?ral turn of mind. She will pay her last dollar for the summer hat, the pretty gown, the neat shoes?because-she is liberal. Churches, schools, operas, etc., would receive her largest attention. A gentleman, in whom her best in terests are centered, asys: "Pauline, I believe I shall pay $8.69 ihis year for my suit?it will do ine very well." She dries her inward tears that come from her,heart and exclaims: "Alon zolpay $12.00, anyway.; you don't loot well in oheapt things." Ofeeurss, the trend ?? this libsri ity may be questioned, and even criti cised, as *failing heavily on the shoul ders of the uncomplaining hero; but, for instance, observe the point of criti cism ro'veroed: The self-supporting woman, whose instincts for self pre servation should bo large, and upon whom the duty of economy is impress ed by loved and thoughtful ones. She earns and has no mtire Care for the rainy day. than a swcHow has for a summer day; delights in it-rgivos her time for reflection on tho glorious liberality with which sho held , the field wl'.r? the bat was hers?how she spent the dollars and enjoyed them. She may fal? a victim to th? dis position of spoilsTbut she refleotB that it is not good for man?any man?to be ?lone in the spending of hic mon* oy, and she trusts the "not impossible she" may mark her for its own, when ehe may otill continue ia the 'whole some enjoyment of life, liberality and pursuit of happiness. Women live by abundance?love, life, money, air, and sometimes don't have enough of either; they lov? mon ey because they live, grow' and nro beautiful by it, and the only woman whose soul dies for money is the wo man whofifl &nnj hoM en lanndn l? l?ca .for. She is "stingy," it"}is^i?id,'; th* bsohelor, for inotauoo?the_ old bach elor whom she refuses, because she loves money and cappinegs; ho says she is stingy in food on the table. This may bo too true, a terrible reve lation of the baseness of complainant, who expects a 50-oent dinner and all appurtenances for 25 cents, or the accusation may be delivered from the centre of a fault-finding household. She sees the income of the family flood out through' tho big end of the horn, and ehe is trying to curtail at the little end. , COMMENT IL \ Kef erring to Pr?sident Roosevelt's opinion that married women should not work in the mills, a more humane reference mij?ht bo directed.' to young girls employed in atoreei as sales ladies.

In San Francisco lived a lawyer, age, aay 60?rich in money,- rich in intellect?a bueiueas man with many interests. This lawyer resided in bis bachelor apartments, with a Chinese servant named "Sam." 8am and his master had been to gether for fifteen years. The servant knew the waqts of his employer as though he were his other self; no orders were necessary. If there was to be company?one guest, or a hun dred?Sam was told the number, that was all, and everything was provided. This servant was cook, valet, watch man, frieud. No stray, unwished for visitor ever reached tho master to rob him of hie rest when at home. If extra help was wanted, Sam sc oured it; ho brought what was needed; and when the lawyer awakoned in the ! morning it was to tho singing of & tiny music box with a clock attachment, set for 7 o'clock. The bath was ready ; a clean shirt was there on the dress er, with studs and buttons in place; collar and scarf were near; the suit of olothes desired, hung over a ohair; the right pair of shoes, polished like a mirror, were at hand, and on the man tel was a half-blown rose, with the dew otill upon it, for a buttonaire; down-stairs, the breakfast, hot and savory, awaited. When the good man was ready to go to his office, silent as a shadow stood Sam in tho hallway, with overcoat, hat and cane in hand. If the weather was threatening cu umbrella was substituted, for the cane; the door was opened and the mas ter departed. When he returned at night, or. his approach the ? jor swung wide. 8am never took a vacation; be seem ed not tq either eat or sleep. Ho was always near when needed; he disap peared when he should. He knew nothing, ??d be kscw every thing. For weeks scarcely a word might pass be tween these two men, they understood Ieach other so well. . The lawyer grew to have a great af feotion for his servant. He paid him a hundred dollars a month, and. tried to devise other ways to show his gratitude,. but Sam wauled nothing, not even thanks. All ho desired was the privilege to serve. But one morn ing as Sam poured his master's coffee he aaid, quietly, without a shade of emotion on his yellow face: "Next week I leave you." i The lawyer smiled. "Next week I leave you," repeated the Chinaman; "I hire for you better man." The lawyer set down his cup of oof fee?lie looked at the white-robed ser vant?he felt the ?an was in earnest. . "So you are going to leave me. I do not pay yoo enough, oh? That Dr. Sanders who was bare?he kuows what a treasure you are. Don't be a fool, Sam; I'll make it a nuudred and fifty n?month?say no morel" '"/.y'.*Next .week I leave you?I go to China," said the servant,' impassive "Oh, I see, you are going back for a wife?all right, bring her here?you will return in two months 1 I do not object; bring j?ur w?i? here?thoro is work for two' to keep this place in order?-tho place is lonely, anyway. ?il see the. collector of tho port my and arrange, your pasesge pa pers." "I go to China next week--?I need jib papers-?I never come back,*| said the man, with exasperating calmness and persistence. "By God* you shall not gol'' said the lawyer. "By God, I will!" answered the Chinaman. It was the first time in all their ex perience together that the servant had used such language, or such a .?^he toward his master. The lawyer pushed his chair back, and, after an instant, said quietly: "8am, yos must forgive mo, X spoke quiokly-?I do not own you?but tell me, What have I dorio-?why do you leave me this way, you know I need you?" _ "I will not tell you why I go?-you laugh:" - "No, I shall not laugh." "You will." . ; "I Hay, I will not!" "Very well; I go to China to diel" "Nonsense, you can die hero. Haven't I agreed to send your body back if y ou die before I do?"

Tho Gaffney Lodger Bays: i Particulars havo reached Elizabeth ' City, N. 0., of a bloody fight which ooourred at Davis's store,in Providenoo Township, about seven miles from that city, Saturday night.&The origin of the trouble, which was between tho MoPhersons and Jennings, seems to have been oaused by the attention that was bestowed on one of the McPher sons and one of the Jennings boys by a young lady of the neighborhood. Some time ago, as it is reported, John Pritohard, who is a member of the MoPherson group, gave the young lady in the ease a watch. She in turn loaned or gave it to young Grover Jennings. Pritohard saw Jennings with thewatoh ana it was decided that all should meet one night last week and settle the matter. The meeting was postponed until Saturday night, when all met a Davis's store and the melee began. Just how it started no one is able to tell, but when the smoke had cleared away it was found that three of the MoPherson boys were badly out,- two of them seriously, one having his throat out and the other had his ear entirely severed. Daniel Jennings, father of the Jennings boys, aged about sixty years, was badly out in the shoulder, and two of the Jennings boys were out, one in the arm- and the other in the faoe. During the fight, which lasted for some time, Mrs. Davis, in front of whose house, the fight ooourred, acted as surgeon and bound up the wounds of each injured oombatant as he fell. . William J. Bryan CalU on Presi dent Roosevelt. Washington, Jan, 21.?William J. Bryan called on President Roosevelt at tho White House today. He was cordially greeted by Mr. Boossveit as well as' by a number of Republican senators and representatives who hap pened to be in the exeoutive offices at the time of his visit. Mr. Bryan was ' ushered into the cabinet room, which was filled with people. The Pr?sident was engaged but as so ou as he learned that the noted Democrat was in the cabinot room went to him and grasped his hand cordially. "Corns in here," said the President, who piloted Mr. Bryan into his. private room, whero5 joined by former Senstor Jones of Arkansas, they remained five or ten minutes. At the conclusion of the interview Mr. Bryan said to newspaper reporters than his talk with the president had been cordial'and satisfactory, andjthet they had discussed, several matters. "It was a pleasure to cob *aend his at titude on some things," said Mr. Bry an. "Not on all things, then?" be wss asked. "No, of course not," said Mr. Bryan. "I believe in speaking wall of any policy that is good, regardless of what party is supporting it. I have often been accused of being a Populist be oauBo I have given my support to some thingB advocated by that party. I suppose I will now be accused of 'be* ing a Republican because I agreb with President Roosevelt's views on' some things. I think the President.,unmis takably right in h?| demands -as to 1 railroad legislation, and I told him so. I also think that Mr. Gerfield of " the bureau of corporations is right in recommending that corporations be re quired to take out federal licenses. I likewise believe in a income tax and . hope to see it brought about." "How can if. be brought about?" "By a constitutional; amendment," Mr. Bryan suggested. j the Beaurefltrd Arch, Charleston, Jan. 21.?The handsome ( memorial, arch to Gen. P. G.
