A HUMAN CARPET.
Living Pathway Formed as a Compli
ment to a Bride.
A writer in London Tit-Bits de
scribes an extravagant complimen
which he witnessed some years ag<
while traveling in the Brazils.
The occasion, he tells us, was tn<
wedding of the daughter of the com
manding officer of a large militar;
training college. The bride, with he
sisters, had from childhood takei
part in the entertainments and con
certs in the school and was im
mensely popular with the students.
The wedding took place in the col
lege, and from the door by which shi
was to leave to the bridal carriage
some little distance, a bright strip o
carpet had been spread. This wa
flanked on either side by a wall o
eager cadets.
. As the bride appeared about forty
five to fifty of these stepped forwari
and immediately laid themselves sid<
by side, face down, upon the carpet
thus forming a living pathway ex
tending from the door right to tin
. _
k carnage.
I do not know who invented th<
idea, but it was evidently a complet<
surprise to the bride, who lookei
y quite scared as she halted in the door
way. The bridegroom, however
laughingly took her hand and, him
self walking on the ground, persuad
ed hlr to advance,
j Once her surprise had been over
come and sh? realized the compli
ment intended, the bride's smile wai
&
radiant as she slowly walked ove:
the line of men with a care and ten
^ derness which were almost a caress
her little high heeled slippers tread
ing daintily upon the live, yieldinj
bodies, which formed what is surel:
the most luxurious pathway evei
traversed by a beautiful woman.
Probably this incident is unique
even in a country where politeness ii
carried to such a^ pitch that workmei
and beggars in the street gravel:
ITaise their hats to each other.
That there is. nothing new undei
the sun is, however, shown by th<
fact that the natives of the Hervej
islands, in the Pacific, were formerly
accustomed to provide in this sam<
manner an "ara tangata," or livinj
pathway, for the bride, extendinj
I * from her home to that of her newlj
wedded husband.
May Husband be a Brute?
? Washington, Oct. 27.?If a husban*
beats his wife till she is bruised anc
bleeding, even crippled for life
F - should she be allowed to sue him fo;
damages or would such violate th<
S#> sanctity of the home. Such a ques
i; tion was laid to-day before the su
preme court of the United States foi
*t:' its decision.
Jessie E. Thompson, wife of Chas
% N. Thompson, both of them living ir
the District of Columbia, sued hei
% husband for $70,000 damages foi
seven alleged assaults upon her. Th*
!. nature of the alleged assaults and in
juries were never brought out in opei
' . court, because before the suit came tc
trial the court had given judgment ir
? favor of the accused, on the plea thai
fat the time of the alleged assault th<
parties were husband and wife.
It is probably the first time thai
the supreme court has had to pass di
rectly on such a case.
Cotton Crop Short.
i As an evidence of the shortage ol
the cotton crop in this section, Mr
Jacob Ehrhardt sends us the follow
ing figures in regard to the cottoi
ginned and shipped at Ehrhardt las
and this year, of the same dates
These figures should have appearec
in his letter last week, but wen
omitted on account of our absence
Up to October 24th, 1909, the Con
rad Ehrhardt Co. had ginned 1,45(
bales; this year samejiate they ha(
ginned only 676 bales. There waj
shipped from Ehrhardt last year t<
Octobbr 24th, 3,000 bales; this yea
same date only 1,600 bales had beei
shipped. These figures seem to indi
cate that less than half a crop wa
made in that section, and this short
age in cotton and correspondingl;
dull business seems to prevail all ove
the State.
P v Serious Fire in Charleston.
Charleston, uct. su.?two aiarm
sounded to-day for a fire in the estab
lishment of Jacobs' Dry Goods com
pany, on upper King street.
The fire was not discovered until i
had made a good headway and beini
c * in a frame building with others of i
like construction adjoining, Chie
Behrens rang the box for additions
assistance upon reaching the scene
The fire was confined to original lc
cation. Jacobs claims to have
stock of $20,000, with $5,000 insur
ance.
The Jacobs family occupied th
. second story and Mrs. Jacobs wa
partly overcome by smoke before th
firemen got the family out.
While the firemen were at work o
the fire an alarm was turned in fo
another Maze a few blocks awaj
which added to the labors of the d*
partment.

COURT CLOSES SALOONS.
Injunction Issued Against Memphis
Liquor Sellers.
Memphis, Tenn., Oct. 27.?The
t status of the prohibition question in
:> Tennessee, so far as the jurisdiction
of the federal court for the district
e extends, will be finally defined short
ly. This was announced late this afy
ternoon by Judge John E. McCall in
r the United States circuit court, after
i hearing arguments as to whether a
- temporary injunction against certain
- saloon keepers should be made perpetual
or dissolved. In the meantime
- 114 downtown saloons are dark, in
e obedience to a restraining order. The
f? question hinges on the construction
f of the 14th amendment to the United
s States constitution.
f Law Not Enforced.
Members of the Law Enforcement
- league charge that their constitutioni
al rights as citizens and the protece
tion assured them are being abridged
'? through the non-enforcement of the
- State prohibition laws, and that ape
peals for relief to the State and local
officials have failed of results, make
ing imperative recourse to the fede
eral authorities.
i Tordav's argument largely turned
- on the jurisdiction of the federal
'? court. The plaintiffs contended that
- no effort was being made to enforce
- the State laws prohibiting the traffic
in liquor; that grand juries had fail
ed in establishing the fact of its non
enforcement and attendant lawless3
ness and citing an adverse public senr
timent to the legislation, holding in
- the main that the laxity of the State
and city officers had been construed
- as a denial to the complaining citil
zens of their constitutional rights.
7 The Defense.
r The defendants denied the jurisdiction
of the United States, declaring
? that the 14th amendment was intend3
ed to protect citizens against griev1
ances inflicted by the act of the State
7 or its constitutional authorities, but
not against non-action; that the
r plaintiffs failed to establish an indi5
vidual Injury sustained and that the
7 bill is inconsistent in that it charges
7 malfeasance without establishing the
3 responsibility of the defendants with
? the alleged malfeasance. Affidavits
5 filed by State and local officials deny
7 any alleged indisposition to enforce
the law.
A peculiar situation is that several
hundred saloons not included in the
j injunction continue in business.
^ In the absence of decisions of an
identical nature, the opinion of Judge
' McCall will establish a precedent.

Negress Rescues Mistress.
Albany, Ga.f Oct. 30.?Lillie Preston,
a negro woman employed by Mrs.
Lee Whidby, wife of a local merchant,
is near death to-day after hav4
ing saved her mistress from death
r from fire late last night.
Mrs. Whidby's dress was ignited at
i an open grate and she ran; into the
yard of her home. The negro wot
man overpowered her, dragged her to ,
) the bath room and extinguished the
i flames. Mrs. Whidby is very serioust
ly burned but will recover. The nes
gro woman's hands were burned to a
crisp, and she is badly burned elset
where.
FARMER MURDERED.
E. M. Moye Killed With Own Gun in
in His Own Home.
Florence, Oct. 29.?The body of E.
M. Moye, one of the most popular
farmers in the county, was found on
. the piazza of his home near Ebenezer
this morning, he having been shot to
j death during the night. A negro has
been lodged In jail on suspicion, but
* there is little to indicate the guilt of
any one.
. Mr. Moye returned from church at
, Timmonsville last night with Howard
Cole, a neighbor, and got out of Mr.
5 Cole's buggy at his gate. He was a
widower and lived alone.
r
One woman living near the place
claims to have heard a gun shot about
the time he is supposed to have been
shot, near 11 o'clock, but no investigation
was made. The neighborhood
' is thickly settled and one of the best
in the State. Mr. Moye's own gun
had been used to kill him and was
I
found at the house.
The murderer had probably cons
cealed himself in a room, with rob
- bery in view, for Mr. Moye was Known
- to have sold some hogs and some cotton
yesterday. If the house was
t robbed all that seems to be missing
g is a suit case and a suit of clothes,
a Mr. Moye was evidently surprised
f by his assailant for though he had a
.1 pistol in his pocket, he had not at?.
tempted to draw it.
>- Indignation in the county is high
a over the killing.
I>enniark Postoffice Lease.
e Washington, Oct. 26.?The treass
ury department to-day announced
e that it had accepted the proposal of
S. D. M. Guess, of Denmark, to lease
n present postoffice quarters, enlarged,
r for ten years, from November 1,
r, 1910, or date of occupancy of enlargj
ed quarters, including partial equipment,
heat, light, water and safe.

MURDER OF MISS BROWN.
Sister of Chester Minister Fou
Slain in Lexington, Ya.
Chester, Oct. 29.?Friends of 1
Rev. C. G. Brown, of Pleas*
Grove, Chester county, will
grieved to learn of the murder of
sister, Miss Fanny Brown, a few d*
ago, in Virginia. When informat:
of Miss Brown's death was recei^
it was supposed that she had d
frod natural causes, but later
formation divulges the fact that *
was murdered. The following cl
ping from the Richmond Times-E
patch gives about all of the infor
ation that is procurable about i
affair here:
Lexington, Va., Oct. 23.?Ha
Sitlington, colored, 16 years old, *
brought from Lexington to Walkc
Creek at 5 o'clock this morning a
lodged in jail on the charge of m
dering Miss Fanny Brown.
Details of the crime> are meag
The boy, who is small for his a
admitted the homicide, but implic
ed two white boys in the neighb
hood.
Miss Brown was attacked w
clubs as she entered the barn to ga
er eggs. According to the negr
statement, the three boys togetl
struck her with clubs and beat 1
to death. The alleged motive \
hatred of the Browns on the part
the boys. Members of the family I
accused the white boys of steali
apples.

MR. ARNETTE RECOVERING
Hurt in Auto Accident at Winnsbo
Miraculous Escape.
Winnsboro, Oct. 29.?Mr. W. J
ian Arnette, who was injured by 1
wrecking of his automobile in i
county fair races, is not hurt so
riously as it was first thought and i
physicians state that in all pro
bility he will be out again in a f
days. Mr. Gwaltney, who was di

dent, aside from a few minor bruis
is injured. That they both
caped serious injuries or death its
one could hardly believe after see:
where the car jumped into a dit
turning over several times. After i
accident all the other races for 1
fair were called off, only one kavi
been run up to this time by I
Pat Walker, who made the distai
of a mile and a fraction in two m

Many a strong man and many i

to thank mother. The care take:
during their childhood brought ther
past the danger point and made ther
healthy men and women. Childre:
are generally bothered at some perio
with incontinence of urine, and in
ability to retain it is oftimes called

the difficulty lies with the kidneyf
and can be readily righted if take:
in the proper way. A Bamber

(Mrs. L. B. Fowler, Bamberg, S. C
says: "My daughter suffered froi
weak kidneys for several years du
to an attack of fever. She had bu
i little control over the kidney secr(
