One morning, just before starting,
to school line Bobbie, aged six years,
was watching his mama put. up his

lunch instead of doin* it yourself, j
Won't you?"

WAKKI) FROM HIS DRKAM.
Watson Will Make No Furthoi* Fft'orts
.to Solve Servant Question.
Commissioner Watson says he has
waked up from his dream of solving
the domestic servant problem in this
section, which is steadily growing
more acute by substituting foreignwhite
servants for the negroes.
"I'm done with the job." said Mr.
Watson with a sigh. "There's 110
use. I wili make no more attempts,
at least for the present, to bring |
white servants to any part of the
State. Conditions will not warrant
further attempts along this line.
There are some instances in which
the experiments have proved successful.
in which both sides continue
satisfied: but these are few and far
between. The chief trouble is the
matter of pay. People in this State
are unwilling to pay the increased
price for white help. They'll start
out with a thorough understanding}
of what they are to pay and begin
right away bragging 011 the relief
they are getting and everything
will work lovely till pay day. when
there is a grand split up and the
jig is all up."
It is not merely an idle dream that
Mr. Watson has been having, for he
has been working with the energy
characteristic of him for several
years, trying to bring relief to the
iong suffering public, but has met
with disappointment so far as the
general plan he inaugurated was
concerned, and he has become a
quitter only after the most determined
efforts in different directions
and after the most exhaustive
study of the situation.
.His first attempts failed because
of social conditions, the help he located
leaving after a time for the
north and the west, even where it
was well treated and amply paid.
These were intelligent people of
some education, whose lives were
made miserable by the nagging of
negro servants in the same household.
and who found nobody outside
to associate with. And the commissioner
also soon saw that it
would not do to have young girls
working as servants far away from
their friends and relatives.
The commissioner next devised a
plan of bringing the foreigners in in
groups of families, and he secured
1..' ..'I-, /-.lor- c- nannlo in thic TV P V
in^Il"Uia.^o lu vu*w ?? v%t. .
He found places for the parents on
farms near cities, the sons and daughters
working in the cities. .Mr. Watson
thought he had got on the right
track at last of the solution of the
vexatious problem not only locally,
but throughout the South. People
who got this help told him and told j
their friends how satisfactorily it
was working, and the domestics
wrote home to friends and relatives
to follow their lead. Mr. Watson
went to work with that boundless
enthusiasm and buoyant optimism
that has already marked his endeavors.
The situation really warranted j
him in entertaining confident hope j
of having found the key to the situation.
But he has been having some j
rude awakenings lately. So steadily!
have these jars been coming in that
even the commissioner with all his;
good fighting qualities acknowl-.
edged defeat for the time being. |
The coming of the Wittekind j
people had a most salutary effect on :
the negroes, not only in Charleston j
and Columbia, where the quaint visi- j
tors were seen the most, but in near-1
ly every town in the State. The
negro women servants and negro i
men thought they had genuine com- i
petition that would drive them out 1
of their jobs. Lazy, ailing, shiftless
and impertinent cooks. washerwomen.
nurses and waiters took new
leases on life.and became competent,
willing, obliging, respectful helpers
with such a suddenness as to even
startle themselves. But this beautiful
situation is a thing of the past
now. At present when a housewife
or her daughter goes out to hunt up
a servant she is met with the reply
on all sides:
"You know, I doesn't hire out 110
more," with an air that indicates
amazement that "that white woman"
has not learned before this that
"this colored lady" lias reached that
stage in social life.
.Mr. B. L. Jones, of Newberry, has
been elected superintendent of the
Laurens graded schools, and has accepted.
.Mr. Jones quit teaching a
few years ago and went into the insurance
business at Newberry. He
was a candidate for superintendent
of education in that county, but withdrew
in order to accept the position
at Laurens. .Mr. Jones is a brother
of Mr. T. D. Jones, principal of the
Khrhardt school in this county.

Neither Great Heat Xor Poisonous
Acids Seem to Harm Him.
I know a rheumatic, a Wall street
broker, who kept his shriveled arm
in a tube heated to 420 degrees?
heat enough to boil him in a jiffy?;
for six minutes. The increase of
temperature was gradual for about!
twelve minutes, from 212 degrees up.!
He is t?7 years old, and after a few-i
treatments can play the flute better,
than he did thirty years ago. when !
he was an expert. But he is not to j
be compared for a moment with a |
Spaniard from Toledo, who must have
been reared in the infernal regions,
because he is capable of enduring the
greatest degrees of heat without being
incommoded.
.Marco .Martinez is a sherry sales-i
man. He is 23 years of age. and in !
an amateurish way gives exhibitions!
in the presence of friends. For six i
minutes he bathed his legs in oil at j
250% degrees without injury either1

his skin, and with the same oil at
the same temperature washed his
face. He held for the same space
of time, and without inconvenience,!
his legs in a solution of muriate of j
soda heated to 261 V2 degrees. He j
stood on and rubbed the soles of his j
feet with a bar of iron white hot,!
held the iron in his hands and rubbed i
his tongue with it several times.
Martinez never made a cent out I
of his performances, notwithstand-'
ing he received high offers from;
amusement managers. He gargled
his throat with concentrated sulphur-j
ic and nitrous acids without the;
smallest injury or discoloration of
the skin; the nitrous acid changed
the cuticle to a yellow color. With
the acids in this state he rubbed his
hands and arms. Three glasses of j
pure water was brought to him. In ;
one a few drops of sulphuric acid
were infused, in another a pretty i
large quantity of sea salt, the third .
contained only water: he drank the:
three blindfolded, and was able to
tell the difference between them. ',
This remarkable young man re-j:
mained locked in an oven heated to j

induced to get out, so comfor-,

Dorothy were rummaging in the
attic. In a trunk was found a da- ,
guerreotype depicting a girl about
eight years of age. The portait, (
through a peculiarity of pose showed j
only one leg of the subject, the other j
being doubled up under her.
" Whose picture is that, mama?"
asked Dorothy.
'Mine. It was taken when I was
a child not much older than you are 1

Then, when the burden of keeping
up the expenses of the family of five
became too great for the three young
brothers, the daughter although
knowing that she had been stricken
with consumption, which threatened
to result fatally, went to a hat I
factory on Arch street for employ- j
ment.
There in daily toil, which fostered
the progress of the disease from !
which she was suffering, she spent j
a year and a half. She died last;
Monday afternoon.
It was to express in some way
their recognition of this devotion
that the funeral yesterday was
planned on such a scale.
For the coffin $200 alone was
spent. A brass bantf. with twenty j
members. played solemn music, j
Eleven girls, of the same age as j
Florence, marched at the head of thei
hearse, carrying garlands of flowers,
with streamers of white silk thrown
over their shoulders. All the}
mourners wore knots of black and j

Damage by Weevil Less.
Dallas. Texas. August 26.? The!
I'nited States bureau of entomology |
has just completed a special investi-!
gation to determine the exact present
status of the boll weevil. In thiswork,
entomologists have visited
thirty-four representative localities. ;
Of these localities twenty-four were j
in Texas, seven in Lousiana, two in
Oklahoma and one in Arkansas.
The result of the examination in-j
dicates that the damage by the wee-1
vil was considerably less this year}
than IbOT. Another important in-i
dieation is that, damage by the boll j
worm, although extensive, will not |
Dffset the reduced damage by the
boll weevil.
At ^ach of the places visited careful
examinations were given a num-;
her of fields which were selected to)
represent the general condition of {
the locality. In almost all cases:
fields were visited that had been examined
earlier in the season and al-i
so during previous seasons. From j
this investigation it is considered i
that the estimation of the damage!
has been reduced to as strict a basis :
as practicable. j
The report was prepared by I)r.,

the bureau of entomology and in |

The problem of getting ahead in this life is a matter of shaving
and saving. You must shave your expenditures until
they are less than your income, then save he difference by
putting it into the bank. Or in other words, put a part of
your income into the bank regularly and live on the remainder.
You do not have to sacrifice the comforts of living in
order to save a little out of your income. It's the idea of
