Thursday, July 14,1904 From the number of killings in this State recently, one would think the hang, man would have his hands full shortly. He would, too, if the juries would do their duty. ** South Carolina's criminal record last week makes np a shocking and disgracefnl page in her history, and causes a blush of ahame upon the countenance of every Kjp? peaceful and law-abiding citizen witnin borders. far?-' The important question of biennial seslions of the legislature is to be Toted on w&t this year. Should the constitutional lit' amendment be carried it will save some. thing like $50,000 every two years. 1|| "Honesty and economy in the adminis fe;" tration" is inscribed on the banner that will lead the Democracy on to victory iD the coming conflict. Thieves, looters and P grafters must be turned out and billion ; tv dollar congresses dispensed with. Spg? Dr. Mary Walker, the famous woman w||aDffragi8t, of Washington, attended the y- national Democratic convention at St. p5- Louis last week in the interest of her pet pi. , hobby. She wore a frock coat, creased life 1 trousers and a silk hat, made in the most R|. tasteful and fitting styles. It is said she P|tV made a spectacle of herself that attracted !B||~iTSauch attention, but her woman's rights >^^ |^eory was not in it. jre!: Southern statesmanship is rapidly jaining recognition, and the day is not - ^iar-distant when the South will get her jjv Pihare of national honors. In the national I; V Democratic Convention in St. Louis last ^ ^fweek, an incident in the proceedings II ^threatened a split in the party, but John I'mftgcflfearp Williams, the brilliant Mississippi ^J^ltsteeman, poured oil on the troubled I^S^iraters, and under his able and untiring ^ xptadersbip the party has been reunited, Hp| /t3?d all old contentions and bickerings BBjfe Our good newspaper brother Watson, the Greenwood Index, in a personal ? Bfelefcter. rives the facts in connection with fabscription8 to the female college being erected at Greenwood. It apthat the subscriptions to the college are to be paid in five installments, fth in cash and the balance in four il payments. The first cash paybas been made, and the balance is seby notes of the subscribers. HowIt is not due yet, and money must Towed to complete the buildings, adly give the facts of the matter, for ve no wish to do Greenwood any although we regret that it has taken some of Bamberg's best citizens. Oar Standard-Bearers. national Democratic convention Louis last week nominated Alton ker, of New York, for president, snryG. Davis, of West Virginia, e-president. Although at first the ras somewhat divided on the choice esidential nominee, still the first showed a large majority for Judge , which resulted in his nomination, inging all factions together a solid, Democracy. nominees come before the Ameri>ple with spotless records. They appear as braggadocio warriors m of great achievements, but as arned, and honest citizens, who le interest and welfare of their rat heart, and will never allow forts to relax in serving the people rreatest country on the globe. >eople of the United States have a BfeSoty to perform. Roosevelt and his hireling hordes must be put out of power. S^V'CBxtravagance, thievery and negro domPc ination must n* longer be tolerated in pp?vthi? country that was bought with the p ' blood of the white man. With a re-united Democracy, and standing upon a platform constructed of the fprV broadest and most liberal Democratic ||? . principles, everyone who favors a whiteman's government should enlist under g^v the Democratic banner and triumphantly p .^follow our noble leader on to victory. What His Visits Were Like. "Your visits remind me of the growth H|"' of a successful newspaper," said Uncle Jabez, leaning his chin on his cane and fr glancing at William Henry, who was BeL" sweet on Angelica. "Why so?" inquired William Henry | "Well, they commenced on a weekly, B grew to be a tri-weekly, and have now bek come a daily, with a Sunday supplement." B "Yes," said William Henry, bracing up B - "and after we are married we will issue an extra?" K; :i - "Sh-h" said Angelica, and they went B . . cut on a stroll. THE WEIGHT OF MONEY. Deceptive Appearance of Metal m Well as Paper. "The weight of money is very deceptive," said an employee of the treasury. "For instance, a young man came In here one day with a young woman. I was showing them through the department and happened to ask him if he thought the young girl was worth her weight in gold. He assured me that he certainly did think so, and after learning that her weight was 106 pounds we figured that she would be worth in gold $28,647. The young man was fond enough of her to think that was rather cheap. "Another thing that deceives many people," be continued, "is the weight of paper money. Now, how many one dollar bills do you think it would take fA xroiorh na murli ?s one five dollar goldpieee?" On a guess the visitor said fifty, and the clerk laughed. "I have heard guesses on that," he said, "all the way from 50 to 500, and from men who have handled money for years. The fact of the matter is that with a five dollar goldpieee on one scale you would only have to put six and one-half dollar bills on the other scale to balance it. "The question afterward was put to several people and elicited answers all the way from 20 to 1,000, the majority guessing from 300 to 500. "Taking the weight of gold coins and bills given at the treasury, it was figured that a five dollar goldpieee weighs .296 of an ounce avoirdupois. The employee at the treasury who handled the paper money said that 100 bills weigh four and one-half ounces. That would make one bill weigh .45 of an ounce, and between six and seven bills would balance the goldpieee. On the proposition of how much money one can lift, figures were obtained at the treasury. Where certain numbers of coins were placed in bags and weighed as standards, for example, the standard amount of gold coin Is $5,000, which weighs 18% pounds. Five hundred silver dollars weigh 85% pounds, while $200 in halves, or 400 coins, weigh eleven pounds. Two hundred pounds of coin money of various kinds Is made np as follows: Silver dollars, $2,617; half dollars, $8,686; quarter dollars, $3,657; dimes, $8,615-80; nickels, $917; pennies, $295.61. In one dollar bills the same weight would amount to $71,111.?Washington Star. SENTENCE SERMONS. Honesty needs no advertising. That which is useless cannot be harmless. He who will not be $ servant cannot be a saint It is easier to eodnre failure than to bear success. Today is never bettered by tomorrow's burdens. Parading a cross is no proof of possessing a crown. Enmity to new ideas is no proof oar loyalty to old ones. A little sin may hold as much sorrow as a large one. He gives but an empty band who withholds his heart It is no sign that a man is riding to heaven because he is driving others there.

It is doubtful whether any given j food in common use contains constituents which have a selective action, so to speak, on the property of ministering to one part of ike body more than another. As a rule, when a food is assumed to have specific reparative properties?as, for example, a so called brain or nerve food?the fact really is that such food is easily and quickly assimilated to the body's general advantage; in a word, in such a case repair quickly overtakes waste and a real purposeful nutrition and restoration are accomplished. The administration of such elements as phosphorus or iron in medicine is, of course, a different matter, but these elements are evenly distributed in the materials 01 a daily diet It is often stated that fish is a food which ministers particularly to the needs of the brain, because it contains j phosphorus. Am a matter of fact, hah does not contain more phosphorus than do the ordinary meat foods, and it certainly does not contain it In a free state. The notion that fish contains phosphorus had no doubt its origin in , the glowing phosphorescence of fish in j the dark. This phosphorescence is due not to phosphorus at ail, but to micro organisms. The belief, therefore, that fish is a brain food is just about as reasonable as tbe idea that because a soup is thick and gelatinous "it will ' stick to the rfos" or as sensible as tbe celebrated advice to Verdant Green to lay in a stock of Reading biscuits to assist bis reading. Fish, of course, is excellent food, ' partly because of the nourishing nature of its constituents and partly because of its digestibility. But it is in no sense a specific for brain or nerve. , ?London Lancet. A HOUSE DIVIDED. , The Kmmhi a Planned Gooee Dinner Was a Failure. Most persons have had the experi- ( enee of walking with a friend out of ; step and trying to shift just at the moment when the friend also mokes the attempt This is an instance of. thwarted harmony much like that which appears in a story told by a London journal of an elderly couple. They were childless and had never been united by the bond of other lives linked with their own.. So they were always in a state of well bred disagreement On the subject of meals they dlsamnnA thAHMUrhlv tnd ?ACh Qgliall V suggested a dish for tbe Sunday dinner which the other did not approve. One Saturday the man came home from market with a basket. "You needn't worry about tomorrow's dinner any more, Maria. I've got it" "And so have I, George. You were so undecided"? "Undecided! I told you what I wanted." "Weil, I mean you didn't decide as I did. 60 I bought a goose." "Why, so have I. I told you I'd like a goose." "Weil, now we are agreed for once anyway." "Yes, and I suppose we'll have cold goose and stewed goose for the next two weeks." They relapsed into their usual silence. Sunday forenoon the wife a?ked, "Do you want a little quince in the apple sauce with your goose?" "Your goose, you mean?" "No, I don't It seemed so absurd to have two geese in tbe bouse that I sent mine to Aunt Jane." "What! I sent mine to Uscte Joel" m OU Eafitek School. Colonel Anstrutber Thomson, an ted Englishman, says in a volunie of , reminiscences that at a school which [ he attended as a boy the students were | regularly dosed twice a year. "We I were marched up to Carmalf s desk i two and two. Two glasses of a horrid eompoond of bark were on the desk, [ and an usher stood on each side. We had to drink the dose, turn to the usher and put out our tongues to show that we bad swallowed it! This was | charged in our account: 'Wine, 5 shil! lings.'" Widows la China. According to the laws of good society | in Chins, young widows should net remarry. Widowhood is therefore held in the highest esteem and the oldeir the widow grows the more agreeable her position becomes. Should she reach fifty years she may, by applying to the emperor, get a sum of money with which to buy a tablet on which her virtues are named. The tablet is then placed over the door of the principal entrance of her house. Mistake of a Blind Boa CoMtrictov. A boa constrictor that was nearly blind was once found to be contentedly swallowing a blanket for dinner Instead of a rabbit which was also *vithin reach, and it was only with iijreat difficulty that it was forced to disgorge singular article of food. A snake's ' tongue is therefore not an organ of - -? - 1U1.L ~ taste, nor is 11, as many uuu&, a c uu|, it is more probably a delicate organ of tonch.?Chambers' Journal. Where She Felt Worst.
