Saves $2,409 by Not Shaving. |
' Rock, Mass., Nov. 28.?Elnathan 1
Y Sherman, an eighty-two-year-old
farmer, who has never been shaved, ^
points out that big sums of money J
I and many hours of valuable time are ;
spentdaily in barbers' chairs or before
mirrors and declares that the F
progress of civilization would mount ^
by leaps and bounds if shaving were
given up. *
If he had shaved regularly every
day beginning at the age of sixteen, p
he would, according to his reckoning,
have scraped himself no less than ^
24,090 times. If he had been shaved
in barber shops it would have cost J
him, he asserts, nearly $2,409. The c
v
time consumed would have been ten
months one day and fourteen hours.% p
' Death of Mrs. Sarah Hay. J

Mr. William A. Hay, and daughter y
at Mr. George Odom and Rosanna *

Only two survive her: Miss Rosa ^
and Mr. Willie A. Hay. t
All that medical skill and trained *
nursing, assisted by the tender min- t
{otMHnno ftf I/wine hands, was done
? ;. to restore her to health, but God in a
fe v His Providence decreed otherwise, 6
| and while surrounded by friends and c
loved ones she fell asleep in Jesus, 1
f.4- her precious Saviour in whom she c
afe i trusted from her early girlhood, giv- I
ing Him her service in the vigor and f
P freshness of youth, as well as in the 8
years of maturity, and when the 1
shadows began to lengthen around y
* her pathway towards the sunset of
life, her Heavenly Father saw fit to *
call her from her labor of love and c
unsefulness to enter in that peaceful i]
abode of eternal rest, "that rest that *
remaineth to the people of God." *
She was a woman of strong person- P
ality, and force of character, counsel- *

p": a devoted wife and mother, a true 0
?'/' and loyal friend, ever ready to ad- i]

RAIDS EAGLES' CLUB.
)ne in Sumter Entered by Constable
and Liquors Locked Up.
Sumter, Dec. 1.?Constable Henry
duldrow yesterday afternoon raided
he aerie of the Eagles' club in Sumer.
He seized and locked up four or
Ive gallons of bottled whiskies and
rines, and about a barrel of beer. A
warrant will be taken out for Fred
Vise, manager of the club. Chief of
^lice Bradford accompanied Contable
Muldrow.
Last spring indictments were made
ut against the managers of the
lagles' and the Elks' clubs. When,
he case of the ElkB came to a trial
his fall an acquittal was the verdict
nd the case against the Eagles was
lot prossed.
Chats With the Girls.
. Although I have been slow in
eaching you, girls, still you have
teen in my thoughts all the while.
!o, if you have been inclined to feel
leglected, just remember the best of
he feast is always served last.
Have you ever taken time to think
ehat true womanhood means, and
rhat is required of you? If not, you
.re beginning life's journey in a haphazard
way, and you will find, when,
lerhaps, it is too late, that you have
nade a grave mistake. The wise
uan who intends building a house, j
irst sits down and counts the cost,
n building a character, it is fully as
lecessary, that we, too, count the
ost. What will happen to us if we
ive only for pleasure, or if we follow
he path of duty? I
I have been told that girls in the
ities and towns spend the greater
art of their time in pursuit of pleasire?having
a good time. Believe
ae, girls, when I tell you you are
aaking a grave mistake. You Ure
laking too much of the trivial side of
Lfe, and crowding out the real things
hat are necessary to produce
trength of character. You have a
aind and soul which is crying out for
ttention, so you see, you must be
omething more than mere butterlies,
if you would be what God inends
you to be?a' woman in the true
ense of the word.
You will never find deep, abiding
lappiness this way. Like the "Will?'-the
wisp," it will be ever in sight,
uring you on, but it will always
lude your grasp. Some ohe asks the
[uestion "Where is happiness to be
ound?" and the answer is thus: "In
he dictionary," indicating that it is i
arely found in human life.
True happiness must come from
rithin; there must be nobility of
aind, heart, and soul to bring about
his state of bliss. It is the highest
hings of life that make the highest
ileasure; remember that, girls,
rhen you feel inclined to trifle away
he precious moments that come to
s only once. Here is something I
rish you to read carefully: "The
revailing morals of an age depend
aore than we are aware of, or are
billing to allow, on the conduct of
he women; this is one of the prinipal
things on which the great mahine
of human society turns. Those
rho allow the influences which felale
graces have in contributing to
olish the manners of men would do
rell to reflect how great an influence
emale morals must also have on
heir conduct." Viewed in this light
ou occupy a most important posiion
in life. It depends very much
n you whether your influence tends
o the betterment of morals or to the
Dwering of them. You have great
>pwer, girls, be very, very careful
iow you use it. Get up high, where
he air is pure and exhilarating, then
f the toys have the right stuff in
hem, they will try to come up to you,
f they haven't you need not lose
ny sleep about them. Above all,
iris, get the great Spiritual Magnet,
Jhrist, into your lives if you would
Ive up to the best. Then you will |
ease to be selfish, you will help your
toor, tired mother, if you are so
ortunate to have one; you will contantly
be finding ways of making
Ife sweeter for every one around
ou.
I noticed a correspondent in The
lerald wishing a young couple, reently
married, all sunshine. That is
mpossible. Just suppose in nature
re had all sunshine and no showers,
here would be no verdure on the
lain, no beautiful flowers, no appeIzing
fruits. So let us welcome the
howcrs as well as the sunshine,
nowing they are both necessary for

i a fault-finding way, I only wish to
how how little young girls know of
eal life.) There would be no picture
rithout lights and shodows. God's
rays are wiser than ours; sometimes
rhen He seems most cruel, He is
lost kind, therefore you should
iot shirk the hard things of life,
f you would be strong. "Necesity
is a stern mother, but a true
?ne." She will teach you lessons
hat could be learned in no o*her
vay.

WITNESSES TO NEGRO KILLING. j
Four Carnival Men Held?Statement
as to Shooting.
Barnwell, Dec. 5.?^Wolcott's model
shows arrived here yesterday afternoon
to play an engagement of
one week. To-day two deputies arrived
from Lake City and took into
custody four of the Cornival's employees,
who are said to have witnessed
the homicide at that place
early yesterday morning. According j
to a statement made to the News and I
Courier correspondent by a gentle
man connected with the show, the !
shooting was most uncalled for. The
negro who tfas killed was said to be j
a boy only about 17 years of age and j
a most humble and harmless fellow. !
From what could be gathered here, ?
the man who did the shooting, and I *
who is said to have had a policeman's
badge and club, made the remark to
or in the negro boy's hearing that
he "was going to kill him a negro."
The boy thought that he was joking,
and made some laughing remark in
return, whereupon the other drew
his pistol and fired, the first shot
going wild but, the second lodging
in the negro's head, inflicting a fatal
wound.
May Abandon Strike.
Tampa, Fla., Dec. 5.?Cigar manufacturers
saw daylight for the first
time in five months to-night, when
one of the local unions voted a majority
in favor of having a referendum
vote whether to return to work
or not. The vote was 74 for and 46
against.
Other unions of the city will hold
elections during the week, and there
is little doubt now but that they will
all favor a vote. Manufacturers believe
there is no doubt as -to the final
outcome)of such a vote, as the strike
appears to have already been broken,
several hundred already being at
work.
Gov. Gilchrist, who came here to
investigate conditions, is still here
and is going over evidence submitted
to him by the cigarmakers, *as well *
as that submitted by the citizens'
committee. This investigation grows
out of charges made by President
Samuel Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor.
Cotton Seed Crop.
Charlotte, N. C., Nov. 28.?Some
highly interesting observations on
the value and importance of the cotton
seed crop are now being made in
the press of this section, and it is
pointed out that a product that a few
years ago was almost without value, after
sufficient seed for next year's
planting had been extracted is now
bringing to the farmers a total money
value equal to 20 per cent, of the
total cotton crop, or fQr the entire
South something like $165,000,000.. g
These figures are hardly exaggerated;as
prevailing prices readily show that
the seed extracted from 500 pounds
of lint is worth $12 to $14 in the
open market, and the demand is
steady and sure.
The numerous uses to which the
products of the seed are put are declared
by experts to be merely the
beginning of what is to follow, this
being said to apply in particular to
the varied uses of cotton seed oil.
The local market for cotton seed to *
" a- ?- i??V/>i n...tn<r
day IB 4 0 ceiita per uubuci. uunug
) the past twenty days the market has
shown an advance of six cents, or
from 39 cents to 45, with indications
of higher prices later on. The demand
is strong, and seed are taken
up as readily as the staple itself.
day,
Thou canst not then be false to any
man."
What we are, therefore, is far more
important, than what people think
we are.
To be" a woman in the truest, best
sense of the word, is to be the best
thing beneath the skies. It means
something more than to grow to the
I physical stature of a woman, or to i
j be a belle, wife or mother. Her *
worth is to be estimated by her kindness
of heart, the greatness of her
soul, and the sweetness and puifity
of her character. As stars shine
brighter on dark nights, so when
troubles fall thick and fast, she will
shine more brightly still, by trusting
all to Him who never faileth. She
has a higher purpose in life than one
who cares only to exhibit her finery
or gratify her vanity by extracting praise
and flattery from society,
whoRP. comnliments are as hollow, as
they are insincere.
It is only by standing in the places
God assigns us, that we can expect
His blessings. If we try to shirk ^
duty, then we are like deserters in
an array. Now, girls, won't you try
to live up to the very best that is in
you. If you have been too frivilous, _
as is natural with young folks, turn I
over a new le*f and see how much
good 3rou can do in the world.
However hard it may be, don't give
up, then you will learn "how sublime
a thing it is to suffer and be
strong." P. B. P.
