THE AGONY OVFR. Tho Trial of; J. IL Tillman Has Bccii Com ploted. The trial of Col. J. H. Tillman for the killing of N. CT. Gonzales which has been in progress at Lexington, S. O., for the past 14 days came to a close on Wednes day at 1,35, when after an able and plain charge by His Honor Judge Gary, the papers " were given to the jury. Later-As Ave go to press this Thursday morning at 11.30, the news is: ''Tillman acquitted." A full report of the closing scenes will appear noxt week. According to tho Ornithological union of the United.'Siates, Bob White ia a partridge and not a quail. Ho is otten called quail, but that is a misnomer. A number of states have game-Jaws, in which quail aro protected. Since there are no quail in the United States, a conviction under such laws could not bo had of those who killed partridges in the closed soa^on* The correct nornora el a turo is employed in tho statute of this state. fl^gF" To those who at the last State Fair said "Why Pvc got better than that at home," the managers say, "Prove it by be coming an exhibitor at the next State Fair with your best.

The skirt is an encumbrance to free dom of movement at the beBt, but the bestjbut the short skirt was muoh less an encumbrance than the trailing garment which robes our women to-day. Its inconvenience ie, however, but a trilling consideration as com Sared with"the great hygienic angers which avery woman laces who trails her garments along the streets Br. Casagrandi, of Rome, stated that he had employed a number of women wearing long skirts to walk for one hour through the streets of the city, and after their promenade was over he had taken the skirts and submitted them to a careful bacteriological examination. He found on each skirt large colon ies of noxious germs, including those of influenza, tuberoulois, typhoid fever and tetanus, and numerous other bacilli which also were represented on each skirt. That women should willingly subject themselves to_filth, to Bay nothing of the possible dan ger, of trailing skirts, has long been a wonder., to sensible peo pie. . , The ordinary sticky mud which provails in the streets of any city adheres closely the movement a garment touches the ground. lt dries in the course of a few hours and is then shaken off when the skirt is cleansed at home. Thus the vilest germs of the street invade the privacy of the best-kept houses. We have just received a car of nice buggies, vbich we are offering very low. See ua before buying. P. A. Hodges.
