EMERSON FOUND GUILTY.
Jury, However, Includes Recommendation
of flercy.
Anderson, Jan. 16 ?The jury in the
ease of the State vs. Alien Emerson,
charged with the murder of T. F. Drake,
returned a verdict of guilty of murder with
a recommendation to mercy tonight, after
S deliberating about one hour. The defendant
displayed little, if any, emotion
when the verdict was read. Thomas
Allen of counsel for the defense gave
notice of intention to apply for a new
t. r Irial. '
1 AlL _
..Emerson, wno was a guara on me
county chaingang, killed T. F. Drake in
the home of the latter on the night of
the 11th of last August. Emerson was
,n the room with one of Drake's daughters,
and Drake came in the room on them
with his pistol in his hand. He fired one
k shot at Emerson, who fired two shots, the
' latter killing Drake instantly. The plea
was self-defense. Emerson and the
woman had been intimate for several
/ years, and Drake had forbidden Emerson
> to come to the house.

< ''y. Why He Didn't Speak..
A. husband was being arraigned in
; court in a suit brought by his wife for
cruelty.
' "I understand, sir," said the judge,
addressing the husband, "that one of the
indignities that you have showered upon
your wife is that you have not spoken to
her for three years. Is that so?"
fc';;; . "It is, your honor," quickly answered
K the husband.
P" "Well, sir," thundered the judge, "why
didn't you speak to her, may I ask?"
\ > *8imply" replied the husband, "because
f I didn't want to interrupt her."
^
"These biscuits remind me of moth.
!;'s car's" said Mr. Younghusband to.bis wife.
"Well," she responded, "I Dever exk
pected to hear you say that any of my
cooking resembled yodr mother's. She
fc *' was a wonderful cook, I have no doubt,
foi you have said so a million times."
"Yea, she certainly was. In fact, there
\ was only one item that she ever failed
."What was that?"
"Biscuits!" ^ ,

'Xx Editor The Bamberg Herald:?As
* . Solomon said , I see an evil under the
sun, and it is vanity and vexation of <
Cyspirit. , I have been greatly impressed
?vf ? lately and I have been led to wonder.
~l We have been bereaved of our loved
s Vy anes, many hearts have been made sad,
f; and we have many reasons to be sad.
Why? Because we failed to strew flowers
in the path of our loved ones before
death. This is vexation of spirit.
/-V,,; I notice the many beautiful flowers
Tj-* that have been given to our departed
friends and loved ones, and the many
v\ . beautiful things said about them, flowers
4 that they would have greatly appreciated
r: in life if ibey bad been given in the same
A 5 spirit, bot now they can Dot enjoy them.
;V Again, if all the good things bad been
^' said of them daring their short stay here,
both in tbe papers and among ourselves
an regards their lovely traits of character,
V . etc^oh bow it would have encouraged
' them. It would have encouraged thenar
so much to push od ward and upward io
t righteousness but many of us withold the
Bowers and strew thorns instead, and
,i > ; withold the good things that might be
* said and speak evil things instead.
This i say is an evil uuuer me sua, so
^ let us try to begin to strew flowers in
each other's path in life as well as in
death. Let as say good things about all
. who are Worthy of having good things
V said abont them in life as well as in
vpv.^ieath. And if our brother should fall, go
to bis rescae and tell him of all his lovely
traits as well as bis bad ones, beg him to
cease from evil and learn to do well. In
so doing we will bide a multitude of sins.
7 In so doiog we will bear each other's
hardens, help bold up each other's bands,
i Many a time in my life have I felt the
4; leedofsome one to help told up my
:rv , ' hands.
Help us to cheer each other up,
Each other's cross to bear,
Help us to strew sweet flowers
And say kind v^ords
jap ' While loved ones can see and bear.
R Help us to see each other's faults,
W And to their rescue go;
Help us to plead and pray.
That we might not go astray,

We can rejoice
And think we hear the Savioi's voice.
Help us to help each other work, I

Bamberg, 8. C., January 17.1907.
Lo, The Wise Indian.
-
There has been quite a little said about
i . the grafter taking advantage of the
Fv Indian. It is not always thus. A land
jnao who wanted an Indian's signature
to a deed told the Indian, who was sufferI
1 ing with toothache, to go to a dentist and
have his teeth fixed, and said that he, the
grafter, would pay the expense. The
grafter did this to jolly the Indian into
signing the deed. The Indian returned
* from the dentist's with $238 worth of
gold crowns in his head. The laud man
paid the bill Whether the Indian sigog
ed the deed is njt necessarily a part of
P the story.
The Old Roman Epicures.
Almost any dish which had to recommend
it rarity, costliness, indigestlbility
and, to our way of thinking. Hastiness
was sure to take with the Roman
epicure. And if he were unable
to made it costly any other way he
would add powdered precious stones or
gold dust. Nero dined on one occasion
from a peacock which was sprinkled
with diamond dust, and specimens of
that bird dressed with gold or with
crushed pearls were by no means a
rarity at the triclinia of the moneyed
Romans. A dish of parrots' tongues
was a great delicacy. But a dish of
parrots' tongues which had been capable,
when in their proper place, of
framing words was of almost incalculable
value, which increased in a direct
ratio with the vocabularies of the
defunct parrots. Another bird for

habit of paying fabulous prices was
the phenecoptrix, which is believed to
have been the ptarmigan. It had its
home In the most northerly parts of
Scotland and Norway, and. as this
made it hard to get at the Romans appreciated
it all the chore and put it in
the same rank with ostriches, buzzards
and peacocks. The tongues of
these birds were specially prepared, together
with the brains, and took the
place which a hors d'oeuvre would now
take.
The Words on a Clgsr Box.
What mean the various words which
are stamped on the lid aud sides of a
cigar box? These are not mere fancy
names/but terms actually descriptive
of the cigar. On the lid Is the name of
the cigar. The front of the box describes
the shape and size, as "conchas,"
"relna," "regalias," which state
the shape, and "perfecto infantes,"
"princesses," which signify the size.
These may be combined, as "conchas i
speciales," "conchas flnas," to state
both shape and size. At the back of
the box, where the lid turns over, is
stamped the quality of the cigar?"su*
perfina," "fina," "flor," "superior" and
"bueno," being the terms In the descending
scale. The color of the cigar
is declared on the right hand side or
end of the box. "Claro" signifies the
lightest colored, "Colorado claro" rather
dark, "Colorado" dark, "Colorado maduro"
darker, "maduro" very dark,
"oscuro" extremely dark, "negro" darkest.
>
Honrs of Sleep.
The belief that the hours of sleepshould
be artificially restricted is contrary
to ordinary good sense. If the
human body does not need sleep for
the upbuilding of its tissues it will not
call for it A rule of health which cannot
be wrong is to sleep if possible as
long as any inclination for it exists.
The erroneous view on this subject is
undoubtedly due to the fact that ?wheu
the mind and body are thoroughly rested
it Is often difficult to arouse the
mind from its comfortable lethargy.
On the other hand, the man who Is
under a mental strain and sleeps only
five or six hours at night Is keen and
alert soon after awakening. But it is

results Inevitably in a nervous breakdown.?Cleveland
Leader.
Lightning's Course.
"On the water," said a grizzled old
bayman who stood smoking his corncob
and surveying the bay the other
day, "when you see a thunder storm
rising you want to keep an eye on the
lightning. If you see it in the distance
striking down farther and farther to
the right from where you first saw it or
farther and farther to the left, this Indicates
that the storm is working to
the right or to the left and it may
pass around you. But if you see it all
the time coming down in the same !
place and at the same time getting
brighter and brighter, why, that indicates
that It's coming straight toward
you, and this is the time, son, when
you want to make for home or get In
your sail and make everything snug till
the storm passes over."?Exchange.

head as "a bulbous excrescence, of special
use to many as a peg for banging

wigs, as a target for shooting

as a machine for fitting Into a

Amenities of the Table.
"I waited ten minutes for a car today,"
the landlady was saying, "and
then it passed me without stopping."
It was afterward recalled that the
habitually silent man had been having
unusual difficulty with his chops.

Holiday Crowaa*
For some men it is sufBcient recreaj
tion to have no work. The moment
| that the "knapsack of custom" falls
j from their backs they are happy. Not
' to awake in the morning with the
i thought of what must be done in the
i day is in itself a sufficient recreation.
Naturally, they have no very definite
j taste in holidays. They go where it
j suits their purses or their wives or
their children. To such men. though
they may spend all their working days
in the thick of a town, the sight of nature
never becomes a necessity. It is
a luxury, an agreeable augmentation of
the sense of doing nothing. A holiday
maker of this type very often goes to a
watering place, one of those resorts
which it is now the fashion for cultivated
people to despise. Such contempt
is affectation. A number of happy
people create, no doubt, an exhilarating
atmosphere. Well behaved pleasure
seekers make an agreeable and
ever changing picture. A well kept
public garden, a good band and a fine
view form attractions which no continental
affects to despise, and English
people do not despise it either if only
the brightly dressed crowd should happen
to talk in a foreign tongue.?London
Spectator.
The Englishman Abroad.
An English observer says that he
finds the American abroad both civil
and genial: "I climbed to the top of
Notre Dame in Paris and found there
a party from across the Atlantic enjoy-'
ing lunch. The day was hot, and a
young man In the group offered me a

of Milan cathedral three English speaking
men met accidentally?an American.
an English clergyman and myself..
He who hailed from the land of the
stars and stripes offered me his fieldglass;
the other did not even return
our good morning salutation. In a
beer garden at Lucerne I followed the
custom of the continent and asked permission
before sitting at a table of
those already seated there. The only
one who did not raise his hat and reply
was an Englishman, and the only
one to make excuses for him was a
young man who prefixed his words
with 'I guess.'"

Parchment.
Parchment is the skin of sheep or
other animals prepared In sheets to
render them fit for being written upon.
The heavier parchment, used for
drumheads, is made from skins of
asses, older calves, wolves and goato.
All these are similarly prepared. The
skin, being freed from the hair, is
placed in a lime pit to cleanse it from
fat. The pelt is then stretched upon
[ a frame, care being taken that the
surface is free frem wrinkles. The
flesh Is then pared off with a circular
knife. It is then moistened and whiting
spread over it The workman then
with a large pumice stone rubs the
skin. He next goes over It with an
Iron instrument and rubs it carefully
with pumice stone, without chalk.' The
skin is gradually dried, tightening being
occasionally required.

been notified by t^U. S. war department
that it must movest once its big draw
; bridge over the Savannah river near
Savannah. It is claimed that the bridge
obstructs navigation.
