Pollock must hai^ boon right when
ke said ho was "feat her- legged."
a
Saturday afternoon an intoxicated
aegro walking along Limestone street
with two companions was heard to
?take use of this expression several
times: "Oh, no kill you, a man and
then apply to Itleaso. Ho'U turn you
?ut." Who can suy that the example
sot by (lovernor lllcaso has not had
a baneful influeuco upon those who
do not know better than to absorb
such damnable doctrine? ? Uaffney

eyes of tho law, as tho boat and moat
law-abiding men In tho Statu. They

paper correspondent of Columbia, has

Meutenant-Oovernor ltcthca.
Here's a Straight Tip to You.
Did you know that you arc keeping
some fellow from paying his debts by
holding back that "ten-spot" you owe
the grocer, or the dry goods man. or
perchance, in isolated cases, the news
paper man? ? Thomasvlllc Times.
A DELICATE HINT.
The editor of the L'unta <>urda, Fla.
Herald is unafraid. In the last num
ber of his paper ho comes out flat
footed and tells a few of his neighbors
"where they get. off at." Ills little
hint Is one that implies to other com
munities than l'unta Gorila alone. Here
It is :
"The plan uj>on which this news
paper is run is such that, on the lirst
day of any mouth, we can suspend
publication, refund all advance sub
scriptions and protect all other liabili
ties. ' And that is exactly what we will
do whenever the pa|>er falls to pay
expenses. We arc not such simpletons
as to persist in a losing buisncss, and
we are not in this buisncss for pleas
ure, patriotism and l?enevolonce alone,
hut for mii honest living and a fair pro
portion of iHM'unktry profits.
''Those few of our business men who
do not. aid in sustaining this newspa
per. by advertising in it, but who claim
to be as much devoted as the others
to tiie interests of the town, might
we well consider the i>ossibillty of a
condition arising that would Justify
The Herald in retiring from business
or reducing by getting out a smaller
pa|>er. That would be a tine adver
tisement for tjie town, wouldn't It?
"\Ve are gratlfiisl to state, however,
that the paper Is paying exi>cnses-nnd
we are not contemplating a susjxMision
of the paper or changing its size, but
we are always ready for it.
"The conclusion is. if you think the
town should have a newspa|>er, it
would be wise in you to supi>ort it and
not leave it. to your neighbors to dis
charge tills duty which is indirectly, j
hut really due t<> the community."
According to a re|>ort of the state
insurance department then* were 2.?.J
fires in Souih Carolina during flu*

W. I>. Metfs. recently appointed
l>ostmaster at. Greenville. has brought

made in connect ion with the light for
the appointment.
Florence was tin* first county to re
port a birth under the new vital sta
. tistics law A child was born to Mrs.
Henry (.'rawi'-y near Florence, just as j
the clock \\;t? striking twelve on the
night. of December .'J1, and a certio
rate of birth was duly registered by -t
H. M. Ayer, the township registrar j
?arly the next morning.
Two negroes escaped from the Fair
field jail last Tuesday night, by swing- i
Ing down from a second story windo?- j

Get Table Cloth# and Napkins
Just at Good a? Linen
and Cheaper Too.
(lty Joaeph ItelAeld)
The problem of finding yew uses for
American cotton, and of putting the**
uses Into effect, 1m one which tho Amur*
loan people must solve, if wo would
have substantial pr<mi>erlty In thin
country.
About IK month h ago. when I wAft
buying furnishings and oqulplneht for
the Fort Dearborn hotel, uiy attention
wan brought to something I never had
h?h?h nor hoard of liefore ? cotton iitti*
kins and table cloths of a high quality,
ttnd usable In an up to date hotel and
restaurant. Tliefte goods were made In
Auatrla.
After considering the matter, I placed
my order for the entire equipment of
table uapery for this hotel. The coat
wan alamt 'to i>er cent, or about one
third the coat of linen na|>ery. My
saving <Hi the II rat purchase wan near
ly $4, 000.
1 had forgotten all about my pur
chase until my return from Euro|>o
where I passed last summer. Ah soon
as 1 reached home, I found the coun
try greatly agitated over the cotton
situation. On every aide I heard the.
cry, "The cotton crop must be flnan.*
ed ! Now lines must bo found for cot
ton !"
In a IIiihIi there came to me the
thought of my cotton napery at the
Fort l>earborn hotel.
1 found on Inveatlgatlon, to my great
delight, and satisfaction, that the In
novation was a great success. My
liousok4>oi>or showed mo cloths that had
been washed every day for four month*
and which looked as good to me ns
linen after being in use for the same
length of time. The restaurant man
ager Informed me that he never would
have known that the napery was cotton
if I bail not so Informed him.
At n meeting of Chicago hotel men,
I ealled the attention of my colleagues
ti? good and they were all sur
prised and pleased. Many of them de
elded then and there to substitute cot
ton for linen as soon as their existing
stock was exhausted.
I announced that I should con tin lie
to use cotton cloth at the Fort Dear
born hotel, and I shall adopt its u?e
at the Hotel Sherman an soon as prac
ticable.
Early tills month my old friend, it.
I). Brown, of Paris, Texas, called on
me. to get from me such lnformatlc.i
us I bad on the snbject. The result
of the iutcrvlew was that I agreed t (>
go to Houston and Galveston, Texas,
and address the Texas and the Soulh
ern Interstate hotel associations, and
to give them my exj>erioneo with cot
ton napery.
On December S). I addressed the hotc?
men In convention at the Hotel Gal
vez. Galveston. I showed them the
samples of 'cotton cloth that had b??n
in use nearly eight months, some tln.t
had been used four months, and others
that had been used only two months.
They were surprised and of course
were delighted- to find that not only
could they save about two-thirds of the
old cost of the table nai>ery. but that
they also could help the cotton industry
very materially.
Since I have taken up this matter.
1 have discovered that the goods, such
as I have been using, are being made
I in this country, in a large mill in
North Carolina, and sold through a
prominent commission house in New
York. I have corresponded with the
owner of the mill, and am assured
that ho can reproduce the foreign ar
tide exactly, and in large quantities,
and can Increase the production If
there is a demand fur it.
That cotton napery can be substi
tuted for the linen heretofore used is,
to my mind, beyond question.
What we want now Ls concerted ac
tion and en-operation.
if ovory hotel, restaurant, dining
car system, hospital, boarding house
and private family in the United States
from now on will purchase cotton ta
hlecloths and napkins, and also towels
that have heretofore been made of lin
en, it Is my judgment that from 400,
<xw) to rWHi.ooo bales of cotton will fcc?
used up annually, and thus a new and
enlarged outlet be furnished for the
raw cotton.
All violators of the law, especially
blind timers, safe crackers and murder
ers, had better take notice of the fact
that Governor Iilease goes out of office
on Tuesday, 10th instant, and govern
themselves accordingly. ? Lancaster

ClTTTN(i SALARIES.
Any number of business concerns
have found it necessary to reduce ex
lenses and for the reason that the in
(Dine from their business Is not suf
ficient to enable them to meet expenses.
They are simply up against it, and
something must be done to keep theJr
heads above the water and keep on
running. Some concerns have adopted
the method of laying off men. This
is very hard on the men who are so
unfortunate as to have all their In
come stop Ht once, and with no pros
pect of anything else before them.

?Carol?ina Without Protec
tion For We#k.
Columbia, January U,-~The entire
National Guard' of floutb Carolina was
disbanded this afternoon through a
proclamation Issued by Governor Cole
jv, Bleaae, the Coi?mander-lu-Cbief.
The reasons assigned hy him arc dif
ference* with Secretary of War U M
(Jarrlson, Hecretary of the Navy l?au
loin, Adjutaut O^neral W. W. Moore
and hlH opposition to tho I>lck law,
whereby tho militia were brought un
der control of the United States Gov
ernment. Tho three regiments of In
fantry, coast artillery, naval militia
and every single member and unit of
the militia la mustered out of aervtce
by this order. The order la mnde effc
tlve Immediately.
Adjt. Gen. Moore knew nothtng o^the
order until The News and Courier's
representative told him of It over the
telephone at his home, where he bad
gone for lunch. *1 was not surprise!
at his action In this matter," wild the
Adjutant General'. "It Is only In keep
lug with his attitude towards my ad
ministration of the past two yeara. if
he got any satisfaction out of the -act
I am satisfied It would meet with the
approval of the majority of the officers
of the organized militia. It Is perfect
ly satisfactory to me. I have no doubt
but that a thorough re-organisation ofl
the National Gn'aVd would be beneflclil
to it."
Governor-elect ltlehard I. Manning
was informed of the action of Governor
Illease over the long distance telephone
at hi? home in Sumter, but, of course,
had no comment to make under the
circumstances and In the absence of
any copy of tho order. The matt ?r
will come _ before Governor Manning for
action when he assumes office one we"k
from to-morrow.
That there is no need for alarm over
this action of Governpr Blease ia point
ed out here in vfen informed circles,
for he has only one week left In office,
for he has only one week left in office,
and Governor Manning, should he so
desire, can reinstate the militia thni
a proclamation. Of course, as is evi
dent, thlH leaves the State without
military protection for one week, but,
as was also emphasized here this af
ternoon, this is no cause for alarm, for
not a militia company has been called
out for a long time.
The disbandmcnt of the militia cre
ated a great deal of interest In Co
lumbia. The order was made public
by the Governor at 3 o'clock this after
noon and it was late before it got gen
eral circulation. There were several
telephone inquiries of The News and
Courier Bureau as to just what had
been done by the Governor.
The South Carolina National Guard
was re-organized in accordance with
the provisions of the Dick law iu 1904.
There were three regiments. The com
panies were located at Greenville, An
derson, Laurens. Spartanburg, Fori
Mill, Yorkville, Union, Woodruff. Poi
ze r. Hock Hill. Columbia, Brookland,
Bennettsville, Orangeburg, Hartsville,
Darlington, Camden, Edgefield, Tirn
monsvllle, Sumter. Charleston, George
town, Clieraw, Elloree, Wlnnsboro.
The companies of coast artillery were
located at Beaufort, Charleston. Mt.
Pleasant and Georgetown.

David Devine, of the 114th Coast Ar
tillery. The bite resulted in blood pois
on and surgeons fear he will lose the
sight of one eye.
Other concerns have resorted to what
seems to us to twthe better plan,
ami that is to ask its employees to
stand a reasonable reduction all aroiuld
and in this way throw no one entirely
out of employment. It seems to us
that no one could raise any objection
to this method. The person who doev
xIiuwh his. Hellishness and his uu will
ingness to help bear the burden of Ills
fellow workers and of the people who
give him employment.
The rule, therefore, has Ihmmi to ask
the boss for a raise. Surely no one
who is getting anything at all would
have the face to do such a thing under
the stress of present conditions. But
is not turn about fair play? Would
It not be better to seek an interview
with the boss, and tell him that you
were aware of the strain that was
upon him, and in view of it you were
willing to have him cut your salary.
It would show at least two things.
First that you were unselfish and had
the interests of the people by whom
you were employed at heart as \vell
as the interests of your fellow work
ers. In the second place, it would glvf.
you a hold upon the boss that would
Ik? worth while. We should all be
magnanimous. No employer shou'.d
cut unless it Is necessary. Those who
are employed should see the situation
and relieve the boss by approaching
him and have an expression from hira
and save jobs to persons who Can not
wellafford to do without them. ? Green
