Williams and w< Wililam Junge when the latter ap- Pi peared in court asking that he be tic permitted to see his son who has les been living with his mother since the Junges divorced several years th ago. fr< Ttlvo Tnno-n Pfimrlainod that She Se U UU^V/ VMWV __ had not received any alimony since ra the divorce was granted, and Junge told the court that he was a poor no old cobbler and earned scarcely ar enough for his own keep. fo Junge has passed the 80-year mark and his former wife appears ga to be 15 years younger. th The court solved the problem, ca "I'll make a proposition to you," pr said the judge, "and you can eitheh ta take it or leave it. If you pay your tej wife $1 a week, you can go and visit m? your son once a week. Is that a mi bargain?" ne "It is," said Junge with eagerness, and turned toward his ex-wife 1 with a look of triumph. "I have a dollar with me now. I'll go and see him right away." Cc Shoots Into Group. _ Al Charleston, Dec. 21.?John Bur- an german was shot and seriously wounded by J. W.

New York, Dec. 21.?In passing yesterday, the bills for medical attendance on Mayor Gaynor after he was shot, the Board of Aldermen 2ut that of Dr. William Jerome Arlitz, of Hobokep, who was at the mayor's bedside continuously for 20 lays, two-thirds without consulting him, allowing him $2,500. Dr. Arlitz was told last night by i reporter what had been done. "I won't take it, that's all," he said. "I don't know how the aldermen reached their figures. They probibly place a very small value on the if a nf thp mavnr. - I "I served every hour in that case :rom Aug. 9 to Aug. 28. No one had 1 mything to do with the care of the 1 nayor except myself." : Dr. Arlitz's bill was originally $7,S00. The action of Gallagher in shootng the mayor as he was starting :or Europe a year ago last August will cost the city $19,600 if the bills is passed by the aldermen are approved by the board of estimate. Originally the bills footed up, $26,)00. Dr. Arlitz's bill was cut $5,000, ;o $2,500, and the bill of Dr. Sullivan, his assistant, was cut $1,500 to ?500. Of the New York doctors' Dills one was for $5,500 and two for ?5,000 each. Dr. E. W. Caldwell put n a bill of $750 for locating the bulet in the mayor's neck with X-rays, md Dr. C. H. Peck one of $350 for i consultation charge. The mayor is said to have known ;he amount of the various bills be'ore they were passed on by the filance committee of the board of ildermen, which recommended the jassage of them yesterday. The natter has been hanging fire for ' (ome time, the supposition being at Irst that the mayor would pay the )ill personally. The necessity of his ioing so was obviated, however, by 1 ;he passage through the last legisature of a bill authorizing the city ; :o pay them. The Farmer's Best Bank Account. The farmer's "capital in trade" ies in his broad acres of cultivable and, or land that is available for jultivation. His best and safest | )ank account is his banks of rich lirt, or dirt that may be made to , jroduce riches. This is his fixed I ;apital, and should never be allow;d to diminish in value, but should )e made to increase its productiveless. The more each acre can be ;oaxed to produce, without reducing ts fertility for subsequent crops, fie larger will be the farmer's diviiends, and the greater the aggregate :alue of the farm. Suppose a young man starts out vith 100 acres of land, fifty of which s cleared land, and available for jrops. The remainder is woodland, vith perhaps some small streams ind available waterpower. The latter half of the farm, with ts growing timber and waterpower, s only a reserve force, that may or ' nay not soon become usuable, in the ;illage of crops. But it is a safe and ;ood investment, and well worth the j ;ost of keeping, and holding in reserve for future contingencies or speculation. Let not the young "armer be in a hurry to part with fiis part of his farm. He should hold it, by all means, f possible, though the only reward le can derive from it now be the ruel for his winter fires, leaves and nould for stock pens and stables, a iummer range for his hogs, and a iovert for the birds and wild game. But even these are not unimportmt returns, and pay far more than mough to cover the legal interest i >n the cash value of the land, taxes ind his personal supervision. In ?act, these resources of the timbered portions of the farms amount to quite < in item altogether, and'they go far n helping out in the cultivation and mprovement of the cleared acres, md in the economy of the home life. ; ?Farmers' Union Sun. ?

Timmonsville, Dec. 21.?Fire this morning destroyed property valued at over $60,000 in the tobacco section of town, starting about 2 o'clock in the Enterprise Stemmery, a large three-story building, and spreading to the steam drying plant and Timmonsvilie Oil Company's office and seed houses, which were all destroyed. The losses are as follows: The Enterprise building and contents, the property of Cole & Charles, value $7,000 insurance of $4,500. Henry's steam drying plant and contents, value $10,000, insurance $6,600/ Oil mill, seed house and cotton house, 1,100 tons seed, value $30,000,' fully covered. Residence . owned by oil mill, value $10,000, fully covered. Several loaded cars on side track destroyed. Bell Telephone and electric light companies were put out of commission for the night and their loss was considerable. This is the first fire since the new waterworks plant was finished and the saving in property is estimated to have almost paid for same. Urges Girls to Propose. Boston, Dec. 20.?According to George Wilalmi Cooke's lecture at , the Boston School of Science, women should do the proposing. It is Mr. Cooke's idea that the supremacy of man in thp familv is untenable and that conditions will be bettered by an equality of the sexes. "A girl by all means," said he, "should propose to a man if he is her ideal. Economic independence will give them this liberty. With the coming of suffrage they will act for themselves not only politically but socially. "Diffidence and shyness of girls in lovemaking is a subterfuge?a part of the present social teachings. When women are taught to learn to act naturally their present false modesty will fall away and they will do the proposing as they ought. "Shyness and diffidences are not essentially feminine qualities, but simply the result of teaching. Among the Zuni Indians these qualities are exactly changed. It is the boy who is so-called modest, diffident and shy. This is plain, for there he leaves his own home when married, just as the girl does here. "Another reason why women should do the proposing is that they are getting better educated than the men, and therefore will select more intelligently and will be more cauHrmc \iarrin?p<; will be haDDier. and I in time it will be the women who will do the courting." Rescued from Sun Worshipers. Chicago, Dec. 21.?Twelve-yearold George Lindsay, heir to the mil lions of his father, the late W. H. Lindsay, of Philadelphia, has been forcibly removed from the "Temple" of Sun Worshippers here and placed in custody of the juvenile court. Young Lindsay had been confined in the "Temple" six months or more and compelled to live on a diet of grapes and beer. It is declared he was placed with the Sun Worshippers by his mother who is known to the cult as "Vahadah." The lad's uncle released him after discovery that resulted through a nation-wide search. :! ;I- il? g; ft ili 0? 0) & rt rightT]! a if if |1 by coming to our store before buying the household < I j.: i : .x J-l 11 _x i a x i. f * / aomg uusmess m me same uill swtxiu, auu we waui> uu - - i , patronage during the past year, and ask you to eon- 2 j ning year.
