Our merchants should use the parcel post instead of express whenever possible. The rates are much lower for transportation, and they can sell goods cheaper if the cost of transportation is less. The cost is finally paid by the consumer, so this is one way to cut the cost of high living. Bamberg merchants, instruct the houses with whom you deal to send everything you order by parcel post, never bv express, and you will see what a saving there will be in charges. ^ ^ Mayor Grace does not seem to be making much headway in his protest and charges in the matter of the election of Congressman Richard S. Whaley. The cause of pure elections can hardly be helped by anything which Mr. Grace might say or do. If the election of Mr. Whaley is to be probed, it might not be a bad idea to ventilate the whole thing, as it has been said that Mr. Whaley's opponent spent about as much as Mr. Whaley, and it should be remembered the Mayor Grace was campaign manager for Mr. Hughes. The fact is Grace is a "piker." He was evidently beat at his own game and now he squeals like a stuck pig. LEVER GIVES SMITH CREDDIT. Says Senator Originated Features of Cotton Futures Amendment. Washington, September 30."?South Carolina figured conspicuously in the lively struggle in the House to-night over the Clark cotton features amendment to the tariff bill, for which the lower chamber substituted the SmithLever proposition. The Democratic floor leader, Mr. Underwood, made a statement declaring that the first he had ever heard of the principles embodied in the substitute was when Senator Smith, of South Carolina introduced last year a bill of which they were the feature. Mr. Underwood announced that he would give all of his time in the debate over the Smith-Lever amendment to Representative A. F. Lever. The chairman of the committee on agriculture made a clear and strong speech in behalf of the substitute and took occasion to say that while the measure just introduced by Mr. Underwood, and directly approved by President Wilson, was drawn at his (Mr. Lever's) suggestion, after conferences with experts and consultation with the Secretary of Agriculture and the Postmaster General, a bill embodying the fundamental principles of the House substitute for the Clark amendment was introduced last year in the Senate by "a man who has given not one day or one year, but twenty years to the study of this subject, the junior Senator from South Carolina, Senator Smith." The South Carolina delegation voted en masse for the Smith-Lever amendment. All were present, except Mr. Finly, who was paired. The Republicans threw their strength almost solidly on the side of the Clark amendment, hoping to embarrass the Democrats, and came near succeeding. It is the opinion of the shrewdest observers that the day was saved by the authoritative announcement that President Wilson was in favor rvp Qviif anionri mptiT Vnw U L OlilKil-JUV ? u<.

The samples also con- 1 tain a large percentage of nickel Mr. Chase, who owns the farm upon which the mine and cave .are located, has filed a miner's claim with the Secretary of State.

The Spaniard told him to go to a certain spot on his farm back of Sly Pond, in the , vicinity of Three Ponds in that part , of the town of Fort Ann known as I Michegann, and that he would find a ( cave there in which the Spaniard had , mined and smelted and coined gold and silver 250 years ago. "This stuff was left there and you i are the man we want to have it." said j the Spaniard, according to Mr. Chase, j j The mysterious man left-that vicinity j 250 years ago. when he built a stone ! wall across the cave, a short distance j from its mouth. Just back of this wall j he told Chase would be found a large j' iron chest, containing gold and sil- j ver coins and a large amount of bul-1 lion, both refined and crude, all! abandoned by the Spaniard two and i ' ja half centuries ago. i Chase was considerably affected by \ ' | the vision, but decided to await its ; ' | repetition before he started out. and ; isure enough the same Spaniard ap-1' peared to him the following night. j Convinced that an effort to locate j the gold and silver would cost him j nothing more than a little work, if he {' should be disappointed. Chase started j out early the next morning. He went j1 to the place indicated by the Spaniard 1 and did some excavating. He then covered up the entrance, had some samples, which he brought away, as- ^ saved, and is now preparing to open ; < up his mine and reap the harvest which has been bestowed upon him. J i ,^LL QUIET AT MIDDENDORF. ] Calm Reigns After Rattle With Des- \ perado.?His Wife Captured. McBee, Sept. 29.?Everything is quiet at Middendorf today, following the bloody events of yesterday, when J. M. King, magistrate's constable, 1 v.as killed by James Davis, a negro 1 desperado, who himself met death in 1 his burning house. The negros's wife, who assisted him in the first skirmish 1 with the officers, and later fled, was j j captured today by Rural Policeman j1 J. T. Grant and is now in jail at 1 Chesterfield. The inquests into the death of Mr. 5 King and of the negro were held to- 1 day. * After tne first skirmish, in which 1 Davis shot Sheriff Douglass and * Deputy Abbott, the latter slightly, the 1 negro took refuge in his house. It 1 v as there that Mr. King was shot by 1 the negro, while stooping down to look under the house. Mr. King's body 4 was removed and the house fired. The negro, badly wounded by the vol- ( leys of the posse which surrounded j1 him, crept under the house to escape ] the storm of bullets which greeted 1 him as he rushed from the burning 1 building. There, too badly wounded * to move, he perished. * All yesterday a posse searched for 1 Davis' wife, who had aided him in 1 barricading his house and had then 1 escaped while the sheriff went for re- ? inforcements. Today she was found * by Policeman Grant and taken to ( Chesterfield, where she was lodged in 1 jail. J Davis was a desperate character { and his negro neighbors are glad that J he is out of the way. Several guns * and pi6tols were found in the house ( and in the ruins after the fire.

Ad. t MORGANATIC MARRIAGES. gjs ITagio Results Sometimes Follow Love Affairs of Royalty. ^ Royally shall mate only with royal- <g3 y. This is an unwritten law of na- jgj ions. Rut love laughs at laws as . 3s .veil as at locksmiths, and royal rank . "cunts for nothing when the heart j >peaks. The consequences at times. @ however, ore tragic in the extreme,;? E'Oignant grief sometimes ending a /g hopeless passion. One is reminded of j 3K :his fact by the astounding revela- j tions made by Countess Marie Larisch i ? in her reminiscences, "My Past." con-; ? cerning the ill-fated Crown Prince & Rudolph, only son of the Emperor, ? Francis Joseph of Austria and the jig Countess Vetsera. with whom he had j * fallen in love. In 1881 the crown prince married ? Princess Stephanie?now Countess ! v? Lonyay. for she ultimately contracted W a morganatic marriage. It was. how- i? ever, a marriage of convenience, and ! /g in 1S87 the crown prince met and fell I Sf in love with the beautiful Countess Vetsera. According to the Countess ! vjg Larisch. they met secretely on several j @ occasions, and ultimately the Coun-; ? tess. Vetsera went to the prince's /? hunting chateau near Vienna. Ex- ig actly what happened there is still a 5S mystery, but there seems little doubt, ? from the countess' book, that, recog- ? nizing the hopelessness of their pas- ^ tho nvinnp and countess decided I? to die and it would seem that the ^ crown prince first shot the countess and then blew out his own brains. The revelations made by the Countess Larisch concerning this royal \2 love tragedy calls attention to the @ fact that the history of the house of ^ the proud and ancient Hapsburgs ? contains more stories of mesalliances ig than any other royal house. Some as have been attended with happy re- ]Sj suits, while others have had mysteri- ? ous and tragic conclusions. In 1SS9 ^ the Archduke Johann. nephew of the Q Emperor Joseph, married a dancer, /g Milly Stubel. at the registry office at 5s Islington. He renounced his rank, took the name of .John Orth, and was ? last heard of serving as a sailor on ? board the Margherita, a ship that ? disappeared 011 the voyage between /g Buenos Ayres and Callao. No trace ]g of him has ever been found, and the tate of the arckduke and his wife ? still remains a mystery. @ The tragic end of Prince Rudolph ? naturally recalls how King Alexander ? of Servia lost his throne and life A through his infatuation for Mme. /g Draga Maschin, who was formerly 3 lady-in-waiting to the queen's mother .. and whom he married. The climax was reached when the belief got ?? abroad that King Alexander intended tc. propose Queen Draga's brother as heir apparent, and so strong was the ?? feeling against the proceeding, which svas in defiance of all royal laws and 3 precedent, that a band of army of- t ficers broke into the royal palace and ?E assassinated tjjie couple. flj There was also a tragic sequel to the attempt, about fifty years ago, of the Grand Duchess Olga, the beauti- #< ful favorite daughter of Czar Nicholas IS [. to elope with a handsome young lieutenant. At the last moment the latter's heart failed him. Dreading jj the emperor's anger, he made a clean :>reast of the whole affair to his majjsty, with the result that the impul- *. five young princess was married Posthaste to the disreputable Prince Charles of Wurtemberg, and lived a tt! nost unhappy married life, while the ?|j 'aithless lover was rewarded by such rapid promotion tnat ne was a neia | *jj marshal before he reached his fiftieth jirthday. *5 Not long ago a London workhouse sheltered an old lady who had for rears been the morganatic wife of Charles XV of Sweden, to whom she vas married when she was seventeen, ffj It was not until some years after her V carriage that she learned who her *?; msband really was, and was then tP old that he was compelled, for po- ?? itical reasons, to break off the at- ?< :achment. The heart-broken woman, ?? vishing to sever all connection with V :he past, went to London, where, S ifter some time, she married an En- *5 *lishman. She intrusted all her mon- ?? jy, including a large sum which the ? -ting had left her on his death, to this ?|j second husband, who ran off with it jjb ind left her to face poverty. After struggling vainly to maintain herself 5! she was glad to find shelter in one )f the workhouses. ? Morganatic brides, it appears, often ? meet with misery. The Baroness & raughan, the morganatic wife of the #* ate king of Belgium, was fortunate ?nough to be able to secure estates 3 r\ fnrhino en ffi ci on t tn toon tior in luxury for the rest of her life. Quite lift'erent, however, was the lot of the morganatic wife of King Leopold's ?ather, the first king of Belgium, who, ifter his first wife, the daughter of ** Beorge IV. died, consoled himself some time later by marrying morganuically a celebrated actress, with vhom he lived a happy life. Wk?n ??; le accepted the throne of Belgium, iiowever, he divorced her, and she ^ spent the rest of her days in obscuri- W ;v.?Philadelphia Ledger. @@@??@?@?@???@@@?@?@< "YouCanGetlt What is the use to go to the < Apparel?
