Thursday, May 12, 1904 I The Gaffney Ledger alludes to Hon. T. ; Y. Williaifis, of Lancaster, as "Speaker of ^ . the House of the South Carolina legislature." Why, Brother DeCamp! We're positively ashamed of your ignorance. C- W. Garris would be the proper man to send as delegate to the national Democratic convention at St. Louis, if he will accept the place. The second district is entitled to two delegates, and we have heard of no candidates so far. We have not talked to Mr. Garris in reference to this matter, but we trust he will be one of the delegates from this district. The wiry little Japs are still being victorious in their scrap with the Russians. Yet many of our people expect them to have reverses after a while. Our old veterans of the civil war refer to the fact that in the war between the States the Confederates were at first overwhelmingly victorious but were forced to surrender in the end. They believe this will be the case with the Japs. A Straight Tip. A prominent New York broker tells the following story at the expense of a Philadelphian: Some time ago Mr. W. gave a dinner, and at it were several Wall street operators. W. is always on the lookont for market tips. As a rule, he is rather cautious in his habits, but that night he dined a bit too freely, and awoke the next morning in a rather muddled condition. But he was perfectly clear on one thing. Somebody had given him a tip to buy corn. Who gave him the information, W. could not recall. He knew nothing of corn, or any other grain. But he went ahead and operated in corn with a vengeance, bought 200,000 bushels, and the price began to climb, then he bought more. The shorts got scared, ran to rrr j f cover, and on tne nnai jump ?. covereu and cleaned np $80,000. That night he hunted up his guests and tried to find the man who had given him such valuable advice, but in vain. W. was becoming worried. His coachman drove him home, and as he steppep from his carriage, his man said: "Excuse me, sir, but did you order corn? Last night you promised to buy forty bushels. We're clean out, sir." He gave the fellow a $1,000bill, saying, "Buy the corn and keep the change." , ??Exchange. Why the Colored Man Moved. (From the Chicago Tribune.) Two years ago two men from Chicago were the guests for a day of an extremely rich and prominent old man in Memphis. I Their Host naci oeen a memoer 01 r uncsi? famous calvary during the civil war and was noted as a fire-eater. One afternoon the old man and his two Northern guests got on a street car together at one of the principal street corners in Memphis. It happened that one side of the street car was pretty well filled. At one end of the other seat half a dozen people were sitting, leaving more than enough room to accommodate the newcomers. But midway in this vacant space sat a young and loudly dressed negro man. Tho young negro looked up as the three white men entered the car, but made no sign of moving over so as to leave space for the "-hree of them to sit down together. The -old Southerner said nothing. He sat down beside the negro, put his hand into jg& his waiscoat pocket and pulled out a ?? :? small and dainty penknife. Deliberately he opened the smallest blade of this knife ?about half an inch long?and reaching [over jabbed the negro in the leg with it. The negro gave a yell of terrorand leaped from the car. Still calm and deliberate, the old man closed his knife, put it back in his waistcoat pocket and, with a courtly gesture to his two friends from the North who were still standing, said: "Sit down, gentlemen." Nor did he ever again refer to the incident. As for the two men from the North they were too greatly astonished to call attention to it. K QUICK ARREST. J. A. Gulledge, of Verbena, Ala., wa? twice in the hospital from a severe case of piles causing 24 tumors. After doctors ana all remedies failed, Bucklen's Arnica Salve quickly arrested further inflammation and cured him. It conquers aches and kills pain. 25c, at J. B. Black, Bamberg; H. C. Rice, Denmark. WHEN, THE* SAP RISES Weak lungs should be careful. Coughs and colds are dangerous then. One Minute Cough Cure cures coughs and colds and gives strength to the lungs. Mrs. G E. Fenner, of Marion, Ind., says, "I suffered with a cough until I run down in weight from 148 to 92 lbs. I tried a number of remedies to no avail until I used I One Minute Cough Cure. Four bottles cf this remedy cured me of the cough, strengthened my lungs and restored me to my normal weight, health and strength." Sold by H. F. Hoover. Iljr A JAPANESE BABY. Its Place Is Strapped to the Back at an Older Baby. The babies of ail except the richest Japanese are carried about on the back of an elder sister or brother from the time they are a few months old. The poorer the parents the sooner the baby is fastened on to the back of some elder member of the family, and it is not uncommon in the poorer quarters of a Japanese city to see a group of . children six or eight years old playing in the streets, each of whom bears a tiny baby sister or brother fastened . with a few straps to its back. xnese straps art; just ?uoi^icui iu prevent the baby from falling to the ground, leaving the comfort of its posture entirely to its own exertions. As a result the Japanese baby early gains a surprising control of its muscles, and it is almost impossible to drop even a tiny child from your arms, so firmly does it cling on with both arms and legs. The dressing of a Japanese baby i3 a simple matter. It wears nothing but miniature kimonos, the number varying with the condition of the weather. These garments are fitted one inside the other before they are put on. Then they are laid down on the floor, and baby is laid into them. They are long enough to cover the baby's feet, and the sleeves are also long enough to cover the hands. Practically there is only one garment, and the process of dressing a Japanese baby takes but two or three minutes of its mother's time.?Chicago Tribune. * AN INTERRUPTED SERMON. Preaching Under Difficulties In an English Church. In "A Preacher's Story of his Work." Dr. Rainsford tells of some strange interruptions he encountered while pitching one of his earliest sermons in the English cathedral town of Norwich. Dr. Rainsford was in the middle of his sermon when he chanced to look down from the high pnlpit to where the members of the choir were seated : In a large boxlike pew, screened from the congregation by a curtain. Mucb tn thp nreacher"s surmise, one of the men in the choir put his arm around a girl, drew her head down on his shoulder and then looked up at Dr. Rainsford and winked. The preach&r stopped his sermon, walked down out of the pulpit and told the rector the members of the choir were acting outrageously. The rector walked up to the pew, drew down the curtain with a jerk and exposed the spooning couple to the view of the congregation. *. Then Dr. Rainsford resumed his sermon. A minute later he chanced to look down the main aisle, and there, walking in solemn procession, were a hen and a dozen chicks. To crown it . all, when the sexton tried to drive them out he was so drunk he fell right *nr\ nf thft h*?n And then from hia place the old rector cried out: "Let her alone, John; she is doing no harm!" Cnrtona Ferry. Captain Hambro, while traveling among the Kazaks of Turkestan, discovered a curious way of taking a heavily laden boat across a broad river. The method consisted in piling up the boat as full as it would hold without sinking of all the persons and all their baggage that it was desired to take across. Then the boat wa/ launched. There were no oars and no sails. The motive power was supplied by the horses, the cattle, the sheep and the goats of the nomadic and pastoral people swimming in front and alongside and so by degrees that were far more slow than they were sure towing the boat to the other side. In one instance which Captain Hambro mentions the river that a party crossed in this manner was 200 yards wide* Enlarging1 the Chest. Any one can increase the size of his cnest two or tnree mcues in as many months without the use of any apparatus or mechanical contrivance whatever. When he rises in the morning let him go out into the purest air he can find, raise his arms to the height of shoulders, the palms downward, then, while inhaling a deep breath, gradually extend them upward until the backs of the hands touch above his head. Do this a dozen times every morning, and the result will be a chest development that will surprise any one who has not made the experiment A Bishop's Musing:. It is what a man might have been which jars on what he is. When a man has once stood on the mount of vision, when he has once heard the call of God to his soul and made answer, "Here am I," he can never go back to dwell in the valley of commonplace. The miasma there, to which ordinary men have become immune, is deadly to him.?From Maud Wilder Goodwin's "Four Roads to Paradise" in Century. An Easy Lesson. "I am supposed to die of a broken heart," said the unmanageable actress. "Now, how am I to know how a person with a broken heart behaves?" "I'll tell you what to do," answered the plain spoken manager. "You study the author of this play after he sees your first performance of it." How It Happened, Hawkins?You look out of sorts, old man.
