THURSDAY’, JUNE 5TH, 1924.
Blinding automobile hoadlighs were
responsible for two accidents in ( ha.'-
leston Sunday night, in one of which
a negro man was killed. The other
resulted in a 'Ford t..umg ear turning
over in a ditch, but . fortunately the
occupants escaped injury. In neither
instance did the owner of the offendr
ing car stop. Everybody who has
driven a car at night knows the dan
ger of meeting another machine with
/blinding lights. In many instances
drivers of'automobiles refuse to dim
their lights in meecting other ears..
With the increasing number of ears on
the highways of this State, it is high
time to take some action in uie matter
of glaring headlights. A certain
popular priced car is perhaps the
worst offender along this line.
One of the most horrible murders
over commtted in the United States
was the slaying of a 13-year old
schoolboy, the son of a Chicago mil
lionaire, by two young college gradu
ates, themselves the sons of million
aires. No motive has been given for
the crime, other than “the spirit of
adventure.” Of course, the parents
of the accused young men will pour
out their millions, in an attempt to
cheat .the gallows, but stern and
speedy justice should be meted out to
the self-confessed murderers.
Our good friend, Rion .McKissick, pf
The (Ireenville PM-dmont, in reviling
the recent State Convention for its
action in instructing the South Caro-
.ina delegates for McAdoo, makes
allusion to the old nii.Nirfi that “Those
"whom the gods would destroy they
first make mad.” Inasmuch as Rion
•seems somewhat peeved about said
instruction, we wonder if he has
been slated for th'* gods’ next victim.
Some of the delegates to the State
Convention have been accused of
(limbing on the McAdoo band-wagon.
Well, it’s much better to ride on the
band-wagon than to be run down by
the steam-roller.

the interest of aliiteration. we re
spectfully submit that “Hand-outs,

much better.

/"'LARISSA leaned forward In the
^ rosy light of the candles, a so
licitous expression on her round Utile
face.
“.No, Mot her-Karnes, you're not to do
one thing about Roger's birthday din
ner this year.
“Hut. my dear. I'd love to do it,’’
Mother Knines protested. “You- must
let me make the njke, anyway."
"Indeed, no!" Clarissa gave a little
gesture of finality. “It's uM planned,
and I rn going to do every single thing
by myself." The bride of six months
looked very wise and determined.
"Come on, Roger, we'll be late for
the concert if we don't hurry.”
Roger rose obediently, hut his face
was troubled as he bestowed a good
night kiss on his mother's cheek. He
could * guess the sacrifice it might
mean to her to give up all the happy
fussing over his hlrthdav. On the
other hand, he couldn't tell Clarissa
that he'd rather let his mother do
this for him. Oh. well, it was one of
the things that were hound to happen,
and he soon dismissed it from his
mind, ^
Not so’Trot her Fames. She respond
ed cheerfully enough to the good night
kiss, hut she sat for a long time star
ing at the candles after the outer
door had closed.
Here It was Sunday; the birthday
would he Tuesday, and already the Ice
«Team had been ordered from Rissi's—
Roger’s favorite—vanilla with pow
dered almonds and a very wonderful
caramel sauce.
Monday passed. 'Wiesday morning
found Mother Fames In the kitchen
Just as* the maid wa« building the fire
In the range. “Hilda," me said, "take
the day off. 1 want the kitchen to
myself.” ^
Nothing loth, Hilda obeyed.
And a few doors down the street
Clarissa was saying: “Anna, this Is
Mr. F.ames’ birthday, and 1 want to
get the whole dinner by myself.”
At 5:30 Mother Fames, mindful of
her promise to appear early at Clar
issa's, cautioned father not to be late
to the dinner, and went swiftly down
the street. The winter twilight had
deepened into darkness, but there wa*
pp sign of a light at Roger's. Strange!
Clarissa must‘be putting's few finish
ing touches to the dinner. She'd go
around to the kitchen door..
No light In the kitchen, either!
After a preliminary knock she opened
the door and stepped jn. In the faint
glow from the range she could make
out the form of Clarissa, apron clad,
sobbing convnlfilvel.v at the r kitchen
table.
"Why, dear child, what's the mat
ter?" Mother Fames’ arms were
around the woe begone little figure In
stantly.
“Oli, Mother, Mother Fames!" Clar
issa spoke with difficulty. “It's dread
ful! It's almost dinner time, and there
Isn't arn dinner. I’ve spoiled Just
everything! Kven the cake! Look!”
Tragically she led the way to the
pantry. The cake was Indeed a sorry
elgh’t ! Rough, hard lumps of Icing
covered Its uneven surface, with here
and there a ragged burned edge
showing through. Dumbly she point
ed to the Ice box. A few anemic
pieces of chicken were floating abnut^
In a liquid, presumably meant for
aspic Jelly. This was flanked by a
dish of curdled mayonnaise, and the
offered evidence
of
ga7bage pail
scorched cream soup.
“Stop crying. Clarissa. (Jo bathe
your face and powder your nose Rut
on your prettiest dress and a Mg
apron, and come back to the kitch
en.” Mother Fames’ voice was brisk
now.
Clarissa was only too glad to do as
she was bade. As she reappeared
Mother Karnes was just entering the
hack door, a huge market basket on
her arm. Laving aside the vvhite cloth
cover, site deftly removed the contents
of the basket to the table. A thick.
Juicy steak, a hag of Rermuda onions
(steak smothdci’d iu onions, she ex
plained, Roger's best dish), lettuce,
washed and crisp, all ready for the
table, and, last of all a cake, four
tiers high, its Icing smooth, glisten
Ing. perfect !
“Ob, Mother Karnes, this is wonder
ful, perfectly wonderful!” Clarissa
cried. “Rut I don't deserve It. 1 must
confess. I wasn’t nearly so much con
cerned with your being tired as 1 was
with showing Roger that I could do
everything Just exactly as well as Ms
mother could. He's always boasting
about your cooking, you know:.” ,
Mother Fames smiled a dry little
smile. "Since confessions are In or
der. I must make one myself. I'm
afrnfiI In' niy wicked heuyt I've been
Dinner was over. Rogefi leaned hack
In his chair with a contented sigh.
“With all respect to your abilities.
Mom," he began br/.ily, "I’d like to see
this dinner beaten anywhere. And /
must confess.”, he grinned,’ looking
slyly toward Clarissa, “that I expected
something entirely different—chicken
iix aspic, or some such fol-de rot” - .
And' if Clarissa Mushed, he attrib
uted it to pleasure at his whole-
hearted compliment to the dinner.
Worse Than Losing the Ring.
The bridegroom and the best mar
were at the altar awaiting the bride.
The former became ..very white and
I*'
neemed about to faint. ' v
"What's wrong wi’ ye, Jock?" ateked
the best man. "Y’er face Is like chalk.
Mae ye lost onything? Ha’e ye lost
the ring?”
“No,” cameJiie reply, "hut 1 (loot
I've lost ma >niiiisiasm.”

Pain In Back & Sides

“pOR A LONG TIME,”
-F says Mrs. Dora Payne,
of Hunti|igton, Tenn.,
“I felt listless, tired and
worn-out I did not feel like
doing my work, visiting or*
anything.
r ‘l suffered much pain in
my back and sides. My
limbs hurt, my knees would
tremble without apparent
cause and I would have to
sit down.
“1 was very nervous. .
I would have a tired, dull
headache.
^ “1 had read so much about
Cardui 1 asked my husband
to get it for me. The very
first bottle seemed to help
me. After the second ... I
was better than I had been
in months. I certainly can
praise Cardui.
“1 have taken three bot r
ties. Now I hardly wait,
when the sun shines, to
garden. I am feeling fine.”
Similar results to those de
scribed above have been re
ported by thousands of other
women. Cardui’s 40 years
of success should encourage
