Thursday, Dee. 21,1905 : We should hate to say anything seemingly disrespectful of so great and good a man (in his own estimation) as the Honorable 0. B. Martin, State superintendent of education, but really he is making himself ridiculous in the matter of his opposition to the Citadel. # Sr. .s # This is moving time of the year, and me want to see everybody in this community leave Grumble Alley and move upon Thanksgiving Street. These are prosperous times, and we all should be thankful for the many blessings we have enjoyed. "And in all things give I thanks." isr-. - v .r *. In the old days South Carolina sent statesmen to congress?men of brains and influence. In this day and time we ?- - > seem to be sending men whose only idea g- is to "get something for my district." Things have gotten to a pretty pass when a man's only recommendation for the position of congressman is his ability to flB. secure appropriations. I,;/' Wonder if some of the self-righteous Democrats in this State, who* so bitterly condemned John L. McLaurin, have not been standing in with Capers in the mat ?p ter of postoffice and other appointments: Possibly this accounts for the statement made that Capers has been endorsed for reappointment as district attorney by ((a ? number of prominent Democrats." It is nearly time for the legislature to g meet, and nothing has been done about the biennial sessions matter, which was postponed at the last session. It looks t*' very much like the {general assembly is going to disregard the wishes of the people. Our representatives should remem.# ber that they are the servants, not the masters of the people, and as the voters of the State have decided that they want * biennial sessions, the legislature should take the necessary steps to carry out their wishes. #*# The killing of the two theatrical men at Gaffney last week by a hotel keeper ?- does not call for extended comment. The facts as published show it to have been a bloody murder of two men who were de: fending the honor of the two women to whom they were to be married in a short time. It is one of the most disgraceful murders which has occurred in this State in some time, and that is saying a great deal, for God knows we have had some \ bad ones. The matter is squarely up to 4L- Phprnlrm ennntv. and MIC gVUU pW(/iV w-v. v? J , v we cannot believe bat that they will see > justice done. V' " , * * # p?The efforts of Comptroller Jones to Save all property returned for taxation at its trne value will have the support of a great number of people, and those in favor of honest returns should see to it pt V that the wealthy tax dodger does not es' cape. If would be better all around if all property was returned at its full value, r--"* but there should he some definite plan followed as to the levy. If the levy is sufficiently reduced, we do not believe the people generally will object, for it will amount to the same in the end. But most of us will object to returning at full value if the State levy is to remain the same, for there is no use in piling up money in -the State treasury with the reasonable assurance that it will ?be largely wasted by the legislature in useless and foolish appropriations. Assaulted and Murdered. ? ' Miami, Fla., Dec.}19.?Mrs. Dora Suggs was assaulted and murdered here yesterday afternoon about five o'clock. She had been in Miami shopping and her nephew accompanied her part of the way home. Mr. Suggs was alarmed by the teamjreturning home without his wife. A search in which the whole neighborhood j joined resulted in finding her mutilated body. The ground around it showed signs of a very severe struggle. Irving Potter, who lives near where the body was found, saw a man following her wagon as she drove by, but he supposed it was Mr. Suggs. Rev. James BoltoD also saw her and soon after heard her, as iie thought at the time, singing, but now thinks calling for help. One hundred and fifty armed men are searching the ' woods and feeling is at a fever heat, j Mrs. Suggs was much loved by neighbors, j ~ When a woman sues for divorce it is generally because her husband is not affectionate and kind; but now the report comes from Paris, France, that a woman is trying to get a divorce from her husband, because, she says that he is too affectionate, and that he kisses ber 935 times a day. That's just the way it is! Some people never know when they are doing well, and you never can please them. J i\ * DIVERS' PARALYSIS. This D1i*m? Affects Its Victims Onlr Out of Water. "Divers' paralysis," said the second mate, "proves homeopathy to be a fact Homeopathy says that like cures like. For instance, if you have a fever take something that produces a fever, and you will recover. Well, divers' paralysis backs up this claim. "The disease afflicts the pearl divers on/* thn onnnffp d I vers of the VI VV/4VU UUU VMV I#^w? Mediterranean. It attacks only the best men, the ones who go down deepest and stay longest, and it Is supposed to be caused by the swift changes from one pressure of water to another that the diver undergoes when he pops up to the surface. "This paralysis makes the diver quite helpless out of water. Yet under water it disappears altogether. The water causes divers' paralysis. The water In a truly homeopathic manner takes every vestige of the disease away. "To the oyster beds of Ceylon and to the sponge fisheries of the Mediterranean many of the best divers are carried like infants. Helpless as logs, they lie in a row on the decks in the sunshine till their turn comes to descend. Then in Ceylon the pearl diver is carried to the boat's edge. He sits there, his hands on his knees, as if lost in thought (he Is getting his breath), and suddenly?pop-he rolls awkwardly Into the water. And the instant he disappears all his agility returns to him, and as easily as a boy would dive five feet after a white stone he dives over a hundred feet after the hidden pearls. "With the paralyzed sponge diver It i? the same story. Only, since be holds a heavy stone in his arms to bear him down to the bottom, he must be carried to the boafs side and dropped over bodily. 'These paralytics are like fish?awkward, helpless, flopping hideously about the deck, but the moment you toss them overboard away they dart, .quick, graceful, dolphin-like." ? New York Herald. ETIQUETTE AMONG PEERS. Bales Laid Down to Preserve the Dlsslty of Their Chamber. Besides insisting upon all due respect to themselves the peers suffer no disrespect td the stately gilded chamber in which they are accustomed to assemble. Even- when parliament is not in session none but members are allowed to be covered there. Not even the eldest son of any peer may wear his hat in ! the room. "Neither is any person to stay there, nor any attendant on any nobleman but?while he brings in his lord, and then he Is to retire nimseir.In 1703 official notice was taken of the fact that of late the doorkeepers have frequently presumed to come within the doors when the house is sitting, and it was therefore ordered that for the future this liberty be forbidden. Another point in which the peers are scrupulous to preserve their dignity is revealed in the standing order with reference to conferences between the two houses. It sets forth that "the place of our meeting with the lower house upon conference is usually the painted chamber, where they are commonly before we come and expect our leisure. We are to come thither in a whole body and not some lords scattering before the rest, which both takes from the gravity of the lords and besides may hinder the lords from taking their proper places. We are to sit there and be covered, but they are not at any committee or conference either to be covered or sit down in our presence unless it be some infirm, person and that by connivance in a corner out of sight, to sit, but not to be covered." Although never rescinded, this regulation is now practically obsolete.? Chambers' Journal. Trick of tlie Drng Trade. "Never ask for the copy of a prescription at the time you buy the medicine," said the dyspeptic looking man. "In nine out of ten drug stores they will tack 10 or 15 cents to the regular tuiJIntn. I# T?An HA Thflt [JiiL'C VI U1C UiUUiV.U!C u J vu uv> of course Is contrary to professional etiquette. Druggists are not supposed to charge extra for furnishing a copy of a prescription. If you will ^vait a few days and ask for It, unaccompanied by a bottle of medicine, they won't have the nerve to do it, but when the two* are prepared together they can gain, some compensation for their extra work and the loss of a possible customer without anybody being the wiser."?New York Press. Are Larse Houses Vulgar? Are large houses vulgar? Certainly a parvenu who should build himself a house the size of Chatsworth or Raby would be vulgar, as lacking a sense of proportion in a matter of taste. The inheritors of such places are of course not vulgar to live in them, though they are sometimes most unfortunate. Enormous houses survive the time of necessary retainers and a warlike state.
