Practically No Limit to WThat He May , Pay for an Outfit. When the city man gets his bill for his new fall suit, his fussy topcoat with the latest style stock collar, his velvet hat, spats and gloves he is apt to think with some complacency that he has done all that money can do to clothe the outer man. His tailor is the most expensive ,he can find, his fabrics are all imported, and he contemplates his fancy waistcoat with the awe that comes with the realization that the buttons alone cost $1 each. 1 The same man would be considerably surprised if any one told him that there was an establishment in the West Bottom that deals exclusiveIv with stockmen and cowboys where a hat costs anywhere from $12 to $20 and a pair of trousers from $15 up to almost any figure. A cowboy with a roll and a proper sense of the fitness of things can safely match tailors' bills with the most fastidious city dresser. Se^pral skilled workmen will spend weeks making a saddle, handcarving it with artistic designs and mounting it with as much silver and other precious metals as the purchaser desires to pay for. And when a stockman or cowboy wants a saddle he wants it right. It not infrequently happens that his saddle costs more than the horse under it Regular stock saddles, not made to order, cost as high as $75, and if the purchaser wants to go in for something fancy they take the lid clear off., Take spurs, fdr instance. A good, every-day, knockabout pair of spurs can be had for $15, but of course it * - - \ is not contended that they are anything more than a rough and ready article for heavy road work. A silver spur, such as would set off a stamped patent leather boot, with a monogram on, will come higher, of course. In making an estimate on a complete outfit it would be well to play safe and put spurs down at $40. "Chaps" is, something every cowboy has to have. "Chaps" is. the trade name for those wide affairs that go on like a pair of overalls which are seen in all faithful portrayals of life in the wild, horsy West! Sometimes they are of leather with - '"'""a nr if thp rider wants O, 1UU5 1.1 m6u, V. to look particularly deyilish they are of goat skin with the hair unbarberedv "Chaps", cost anywhere from $15 to $25. ) \ \ But the two articles that the cowboy who wants to shine really turns himself loose on are hats and saddles. A hat can be made a wondrous th|ag when price is not a ^scouraging consideration. Of hand stamped leather, with silver filigree and buckle, it can be ipade to weigh several pounds and cost several dollars a pound. It seems that no cowboy would consider himself dressed up without at least five pounds of hat. As to what a cowboy thinks of a saddle can be figured out in this way: When he starts in to buy an outfit he \buys the saddle first and gets just what he wants* and then if he has any money left he buys the other things he needs. There are fifty pounds of leathery in a real cowboy saddle, fifty pounds nrnn^ai>fnllT r?arvPr? fltftTnTl \JL TT VUUVA M. U**^ ?v? ?J ?^ . jped and befringed. It is as big as a hammock with a pommel like the ornamental sternpost of a ship and a back like a rocking chair. There are more rings, straps, thongs and holsters depending from it than a layman conld count without trying to learn their various uses. This saddle is a five-room flat full of furniture to the cowboy; he eats, works, loafs and sleeps in it.?Kansas City Star. A Darky's Partnership. / Senator John Sharp Williams tells the following as illustrating the simplicity of the old-tihe darky in the South; > MtC Williams was once proceeding along a road near a Mississippi town when he met an aged negro hauling driftwood into his farmyard." There the senator saw a pile of wood already stacked to such an extent that he was moved to say: "Uncle, vou've gathered a big lot of firewood, haven't you?" "I shore has!" chuckled the old man, "an' what you sees ain't half what I've picked- up dis season." "What do you do with the rest of it, sell it?" "No, sah. I totes it up to Mr. Perkins's place, 'bout a mile from heah. Me an' him is partners an' he lets me have half of all de wood I~picks up."?St. Louis Republic.

Walker Winn at Fechtig, in this county, on September 17, 1910. The warrant of arrest was issued by Magistrate J. G. Murdaugh yesterday, on an affidavit by Mrs. Lizzie Terry, mother of the deceased young man. Mrs. Wells was arrested on yesterday and Mr. Robinson came to Hampton this morning and surrendered to the sheriff. The tragic death of Walker Winn created quite a sensation in this section of the country. The coroner's jury considered the case for a period covering six months and finally rendered the verdict that the deceased came to his death from mercurial noisoninsr administered bv a person or persons unknown to the jurors. At the little village of Fechtig, ^Walker Winn clerked in the store of Mrs. Wells, at that time Miss Wheeler. It seems that the young man did not get along well in his home with his young wife, Lillian Winn, and they had separated. On the afternoon <^f September 17, 1910, he was suddenly taken ill. When medical aid arrived, it was found that he had symptoms of acute indigestion and apoplexy, the pupils of his eyes were widely dilated and soon afterwards he died. A jury of inquest was empaneled, and proceeded to inquire into the cause of his death. They recommended that the contents of the stomach be analyzed. The physician acted on the recommendation and the stomach was sent to a Columbia chemist, W. Boyden Mims. A negative report was made on the analysis after three weeks and the jury made other requests. The body of young Winn was disinterred and was found to have turned black the intestines and contents were then sent to the same chemist ' and his report stated that an analysis of these ,organs revealed the presence of 12 miligrams of mercuric chloride, which, if administered, in the foray of corrosive sublimate, was sufficient to cause death. The physicians testified that no mercury wafe administered by them. . X-?, An Incident. On a railway train running on a branch road from a great city to the suburb, a little incident in complete contrast was noted by eyes - *? J ihA quick to see wnat nappeneu uu mc road. A woman, evidently a foreigner and very poor, was encumbered by a baby in her arms while two older children tugged at her skirt. In addition she had several nondescript bundles. < When the brakeman announced her station she was bewildered, and greatly imnpdAd in her efforts to leave the car. She was not quite sure of the place, find she could not easily manage die babies and the bundles. A tall young fellow, conspicuously well dressed, had been sitting near, apparently lost in a book which he was studying. He tossed the book aside, seized the hekvy bundles, - and gave a hand to one little brownfaced child, assisted the wholk party out of the car, first ascertaining that they were at the right point of their journey, lifted his hat to the mother as if she had been his own, and resumed his place and book as if he had done nothing uncommon. This incident was chronicled in the memory of tine whom it made happier for a whole day.?Herald and Prebyter. TEE DYNAMITE TO DOG. Animal Chases Jokers, Who Narrow ly Escape Death. \ Six employees in the Lynn Wilson road building camp near Newark, O., blew up a dog with dynamite Sunday afternoon and in so doing nearly lost their own lives. One of the party tied the dynamite to the dog's tail, lighted the fuse and all ran away. The dog did the unexpected by running after them. They entered a cabin and slammed the door shut. The terrified men hurriedly made their exit, and none too quickly, for just as the last of the party emerged from the house the dynamite let go. The shanty was demolished, the dog reduced to fragments and the entire party Rocked down and stunned. All received cuts and bruises. A pocket comb, penknife and cigar i clipper have been combined in a single implement by an ingenious j inventor. rw BAKING Absolut The only Bakli from Royal Crap NO ALUM, NO f "FARMING AS A LIFE-WORK." Lecture at Carlisle Fitting School by Senator Summer's. The series of life-work lectures, which have been planned to be given at the Carlisle Fitting School, began last Friday night with a lecture by Senator S. J. Summers, of Calhoun county, on "Farming as a LifeWork." While the lectures are intended primarily for the students of the school, the general public is invited and a good audience was present to hear Senator Summers, among them being some of the largest farmers of Bamberg county. For over an hour Senator Summers charmed his hearers by telling them i the simple and yet wonderful story of life upon a real farm. He is a practical and successful farmer himself and is complete master of pie subject, not only from the every-day, practical standpoint but from a scientific standpoint as well. Senator Summers began by contrasting life on the farm before the war, when the farmers were little more than overseers of their groups of slaves. Immediately after the war, when the homes and farms were devastated, and the present day, when men are making a study of the farm from a scientific standpoint and going into farming as a life work; He pictured in the most ^interesting manner just what a young man with training and determination could do upon a farm. The burden of Seantor Summers's address was a plea for ejducated young men upon the farm.- He declared that thei day is forever past TxrliAn men will nooH "hnnlr lonrTV ing" to make successful,' aggressive farmers. This he illustrated by show* ing the necessity of a farmer understanding the mixture of his tertilizers, with a view both to the nourishment of the plant and the improvement of the soil. He also illustrated it by a discussion of seed selection, scientific drainage and the general necessity of keeping posted on all farming methods and improvements. "We need men on the farm," declared the speaker, "who can do their own thinking; men who are industrious and will make ^their entire farm a garaen; men wno win noi plant a -hundred acres of cotton and call themselves farmers, but will make corn, and to sell; meat and to sell; butter, chickens, eggs and alb that goes to make a real farm. Why should we send thousands of dollars to the West for corn and meat when we can produce them at home?" Senator Summers's address was helpful and greatly enjoyed. The next lecture in the" series will be given next Friday evening, February 16, by Mr. Robert Lathan, editor of the NewS and Courier, on/ "journalism As a Life Work."?.

Although the London censor raised a protest against a certain feature in "Kismet" when this play was produced on the .other side of the Atlantic, it didn't raise as much, as a ripple when it was disclosed to New York theatre-goers. In discussing the play, Matthew White, Jr., in his "Stage Comment" in the Munsey for February, incidentally remarks: 144-+1.A KA oqM nf tV?
