Columbia Magistrate A;ranges Bail for Seminole Promoters. Columbia, March 2.-Magistrate Fowles today arranged the bonds for Garlington and his associates, who are charged with obtaining money un der false protences and conspiracy in connection with the sale of the stocks of the Seminole Security company. Garlington.'s bond was fixed at $10, 000, Jeans at $3,000, and Young at $5,000. After Magistrate Fowles announced at what figures the bonds would have to be fixed and considered the bonds men whose names were suggested, the former officers of the Seminole com pany went out to airrange the bond and fixed up the papers by which they agreed to return to Columbia to stand trial on the charges at the next term of court 'here.

'hings, That the Women of Centuries Ago Tried-Curious Re cipes. "It is wonderful,'' remarked a cell known doctor the other day, "to vhat lengths folks will go in order to ~ecome beautiful. A .perusal of the )ld medical and other works show a urprising number of infallible rem? ies, many of which are horrible, ~ome quaint and others amusing. "The common wayside flower, the [ady 's mantle, was one in great repute ivith the ladies, as it was thought that t had the power of restoring femin e beauty, however faded, to its ear y freshness, and the wold pansy, laid o soak in buttermilk for nine days, had the reputation of making the omplexion very fair. 'The maiden, who on the first of May, went to the fields at break of day and wasihed in dew from the hawthorn tree, would ever aft:er handsome be.' The com on fam.itory was used when gather ed in wedding hours and boiled in~ ater and whey as a complexion wash by t:he country maidens. In Al giers, even to this day, women eat a plant called fenugreek in order to se ure red cheeks. "An old'hook says that if one will ake a powder of elder flowers gath 'ered on midsummer day, dry them and use a spoonful thereof in a good draught of water, morning and even ing. for the space .of a month it will make him or her young and handsome for a long time. "Rose water made over 'the fire or in th-e sun's rays, cleared away 'spots and pimples upon the face~and made the skin clear and rosy. The oil wal-, nuts, prepared in the same manner as oil of almonds, made smooth the hands and face, and removed scales and scurf. "In Frane'e and Italv it is believ ed that rosy iheeks will come to the lass who buries a drop 'of her blood under a rose bush. In many parts of this country ladies wash .their faces in dew before sunrise on May day, in 1order to become beautiful. In the 'old days it was quite generally believ Ied that the eating of hare's flesh would cause thle eater to look fair, lovely and gra.eious for a week to oether afterwards, while the entrails 1o crcoils were considered excel lent to witen the skin. The same was true of the grease of lion mixed with oil of roses. The ashes of an oyster shell calcined and then mixed with honey will remove wrinkles and make a woman's skin smooth and soft. "The yese of the pike powdered were wonderful in increasing beauty, according -to one old writer. In Eng land it is believed even now that the eating of herrings' brains gives one beauty. Tihe fat of the grayling plac ed in a bottle in the sun with a little honey for a day or two makes a fine preparation for clearing the skin. The fat .of the lamprey, although the ani mal was of ill omen, was very effica cious in making one's skin smooth and clear, and -would also remove smallpox scars. An ointment made from the grease of the glutton, or wolverino, is a certain cure for cutan eous eruptions. The Chinese believe that water, in wihich cockles have been boiled, possesses certain medical properties and apply it to the bodies of persons suffering from skin diseas es and particularly of those suffering from smallpox. The monks of tha tenth century ordered the ashes of burned flies for the complexion. "Freckles have always been the bane of the ladies' existence, and many and varied are the recipes for removing them, which have prevailed through ithe 'ages. Cabbage seeds, voung lilies of the val-ley, gathered before sunrise, and nutmegs were es pecially effica.cious in removing them. Phe Norwegian peasants consider the blood of the hare excellent for remov ing freekles, as well as scrobutic eruptions, from the skin. Some people n this country believe that the blood >f a white hen smeared all over the face and left to dry, and then wiped >ff, takes away all the freckles and pots. The entrails of crocodiles, ae aording to Ovid, were excellent to :ake away the freckles. "In this country other popular ways of getting rid of them are .to wash in rain water caught the first >f June, (this is good for all skin diseases,) or in water in which a >Kacksmith :has cooled his iron, to vash in water standing in an urn in i graveyard, in dew gathered from iheat before sunup, in whey or wash ng at night in waiter, on which the noon shines. Washing the face dur ng the passing bell on Good Friday is lso very good. "Still another good method is to ~ount the freekles, put the same num er of pebbles into a paper and throw t in the pasth. Whoever picks it up ill get your freckles. "T;he picking of the common red ~ield lily is supposed, by many, to ake one freckled. "Among many people fat is con idered a sign of beauty and should his not come natu-ralIy, artificial aans are resorted to. In Egypt the yomen burn and grind up black beet es and mix ,them with beef fat; esame oil and muffeta. This mix ure is boiled together and a eupful1 f the liquor taken daily by women lesirous of getting fat. In England n the middle ages the ladies used the at of the lizard when desirous of be ~oming stout. "Still others wish to be lean and or these the old remedy is three or ~our leaves of the ash tree taken in ine eaeh morning, which is guaran ;eed to make those lean that are fat nd keep those which are now lean ~rom getting fat. In 'the North of ngland the old notion still prevails hat - 'Kiss the black cat, an' 'twill make ye fat; iss the white one. ''twill make ye lean. "If the eyelashes are trimmedi vhile the moon is on the increase . SOME OFO01 To be conservative. To pay four per 6. nt. To calcula'e interest semn To bond e-very emnployee.

GEO. Y. HUNTER, President. SJ. F. BROWNE, they will grow long and beautiful. "Lives the bald-headed man, or one verging upon that condition, who does not wish to repair the damage nature has done to him? Bartholomew re commended broth made from the myr tle as a remedy to prevent tihe fall ing of hair. Mustard was also a good preventive should the myrtle fail to act. The fat of a goose 'bruised with vinegar would also answer the same purpose. The skin of the viper, ac cording to Topsell, 'beaten to powder and laid upon the places where the hair is fallen doth wonderfully re store hair again.' "For those wiho were in the last stages and had but little more to lose, there were many remedies proposed. One of the most curious was :to re duce a mule's hoofs to ashes and ap ply this to the head which would in fallibly restore the hair. In the 'Hor tus Sanitatis' (1490) the head of a, hare burnt with bear's grease and used as a plaster or a mole 's blood spr-inkled on a bald head, would sure ly make ithe hair come forth. The same object could be accomplished by mingling the eggs of the lizard with oil, or if flies were burnt and mixed with honey and applied to the h-ead. Again, ,grated radish mixed with hon ey, or the juice of an onion, or the kernel from a paach stone, or -the shell of a walnut ground fine and boiled with vinegar until. reduced to the form of an ointment, if 'applied to the head and the patient iat in the sun until it had thoroughly dried on -the scalp, ;hair would surely appear. The froth of the sea would also help baldness." FREE TRIP to the PACIFIC COAST ARE YOU ONE WASIINGTON of the many thous ands who want to 0REON4 explore this Won derland ? ? ? ?

A BAPTIST ELDER Restored to Health by Vino3 "I was run down and weak from in digestion and gjeneral debility, also suf fered from vertigo. I saw a cod liver preparation called Vinol advertised and decided to give it a trial, and the re sults were most gratifying. After tak Ing two bottles I regained my strength and am now feeling unusually well." Henry Cunningham, Elder Bap-. tist Church, Kingston,. N. C. Vinol is not a patent medicine-but a preparation composed of the medicinal elements of cods' livers, combined with a tonic iron and wine. Vinol creates a hearty appetite, tones up the organs of digestion and makes rich, red blood. In this natural manner, Vinol creates strength for the run-down, over worked and debilitated, and for delt ate children and old people. For hronic coughs, colds and bronchtis Vinol is unexcelled. All such persons in this vicinity are asked to try Vinol on our offer to re fund their money if it fails to give sat isfaction. William E. Peiham & Son Newberry, S..
