The famous llttls pH is*
Annoyed by a Certain Class of Young
Men.
Mr. Editor:—A short time ago I
ran upon a small article which ap
peared in the columns of some news
paper, which, if you will publish I
think a lesson could be learned by
many of our young men and women
of today:
“Where cotton mills are situated in
large cities, there is usually a certain
class of young men who try to annoy
the female employees in various
ways. These young men, or rather
dudes, are apt to be the dissipated
sons of wealthy parents; they live up
town, and belong to what is known
as the “upper crust” of society. They
think themselves above cotton mill
people socially, and wouldn’t think of
working there for a living or care
to be caught in company with a cot-
ton mill man. But these same fellows
will stand on the street corners or
around the mill entrance and very
impolitely annoy the mill girls as they
go to and from their work.
“They wouldn’t care to attend the
service in an humble chapel on Sun
day night, but will hang around the
door and smoke cigarettes till the
service closes and then try to get a
chance to walk home with a pretty
factory girl, and I am sorry to say
they sometimes succeed in doing so.
“If they make engagements to take
a mill girl out driving they are sure
to drive out in the country to escape
being seen by any of their aristo
cratic friends.
“I don’t know what to think of a
girl who could encourage or even tol
erate such a man. He wouldn’t in
troduce you to his mother or bring
his sister to visit you, and the very
thought of introducing you to society
as his wife is enough to frighten him,
and for that reason you ought to
know that his intentions are not hon
orable.
“These fellows seem to understand
just how to talk those senseless noth
ings that are so interesting and yet
so dangerous to some girls. You
would be much safer in company with
an honest, hard-working mill man,
even if he didn’t know how to pay
you such nattering compliments.
“They are nothing but sugar-coated
poison, and some girls are silly
enough to swallow such stuff.
"Girls, don’t have anything to do
with those fellows. If they stand
on the street corners and try to flirt
with you, give them the cut direct.
They are only looking for a good
time, and if that is what they want,
let them go to some of their aristo
cratic lady friends to be amused. If
you have any time to spare to enter
tain gentlemen, try to make it pleas
ant for some nice mill man, who had
rather spend an evening with you
than run the risk of getting into bad
company by going down town. Now
don’t think that I mean because you
work in the mill you are exclusive
mill property. Not at all! Make
the very best match you can. If you
can marry a banker or a millionaire,
do so by all means; but be sure that
yourself and family have been re
ceived on terms of social equality.
“Elizabeth.”
Of course none of us know who the
writer is, but if she be a mill girl,
or one of the city, her thoughts are
good. I hope that none of our young
men in Gaffney have been guilty of
such. Of course some mill girls
think it something grand to go with
a town boy. Very often you can hear
them make remarks similar to this:
"Oh! I had such a nice time last night
with the ‘up-street’ boys,’’ as they
chance to call them. If I were a mill
girl I would never let one of those
fellows escort me around at any time,
at night especially.
Now, boys, I am ready for you. I
don’t think any of our boys in Gaffney
have been among the ones that the
writer has such charges against. But
if you have I hope after reading this
little article you will think well be
fore you make another move. Per
haps all the remarks may be true of
some young men, and no doubt the
writer has had some dealings with
the “town dudes,” as she represented
them, if she be a mill girl. But I am
sure, if she be a mill girl, she could
never catch me napping enough to
get the chance to write such an ar
ticle about me.
The writer hits us, boys, pretty
hard, but I am sure if all the boys
are always as careful, hereafter, as
some, no such article shall ever ap
pear in these columns again, even if
you have been guilty of such in the
past.
Yours truly,
Brown Eyes.
Water Mly incenae.
The latest fad of fashionable people
since the outbreak of war in the far
east is the use of the favorite Japanese
perfume named the water lily incense,
says the New York Press. It Is com
monly used In ail the homes of Japan,
as well as in the Buddhist temples, but
It has only recently been introduced
Into the United States and is now be
ing sold in all the Japanese stores in
the big cities. It is done up in little
cakes and burned like the famous rhl-
nese joss stick, so well known in many
American homes, but it has a far more
delicate and aromatic fragrance. Doc
tors say that it is specially valuable
as a disinfectant in the sickroom, for
which purpose it is extensively used
i In Japan.
Strike* In Ruaalm.
When strikes occur in Russia there
la no delay in dealing with them, says
the World’s Work for June. Troops
are mobilized at once. The printers in
Moscow', for example, struck last au
tumn. The strikers marched in pro
cession along a few streets, clamoring
: for shorter hours. They complained
that they had been compelled to work
overtime and that no compensation had
been given for the extra labor. General
Trepor, chief of police, Issued a notice
thm. any man refusing to work would
be excluded forever from Moscow.
This stopped the movement. Such no
tices have stopped similar movements
elsewhere.

umn to P. O. Box 304.]
It is certain that the new inodes of
dress are calculated to make the
sweet girls look their sweetest. Their
too slender figures are rounded out
by shirrings and rufflings and tuck-
ings which adorn the full skirt.
The iluffyness of the waists, and
the grace of the long shoulders, the
quaint effect of the full skirts and
wide girdles, are particularly suited
to tho partially developed figures of
school girls.
This is the day of the slender wo
man. It seems that the newest fash
ions are taking it for granted that all
wearers are to be tall and willowy.
Even those figures which are too
thin to wear low necked gowns can
wear tho long shoulder effect, with
lace yokes, lined with chiffon, and
feel that the shoulders and neck will
make a very creditable showing.

SHORT LOCAL ITEMS.
Mrs. Emma Mitchell, 520 Louisiana
Itreet, Indianapolis, Ind., writes:
“For the past five years I have rarely
been without pain, but Peruna has
2hanged all this, and in a very short
time. I think I had taken only two bot
tles before I began to recuperate very
quickly, and seven Itottles made mo well.
I do not have headache or backache any
more, and have some interest in life.”—
Emma Mitchell.
The coming of what is known as the
“now woman” in our country is not

woman by Dr. Hartman’s home treat
ment.” It is only necessary to send
name, address, symptoms, duration ol
sickness and treatment already received
to I)r. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio, and
directions for one month’s treatment
will be promptly forwarded.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your ease and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad
vice gratis. C

Little Miss Hattie Lula Littlejohn,
of this city, has just returned from
Spartanburg, where she has beep,
spending some months with relatives
and attending the graded school. She

and has made for herself quite an
enviable reputation. During the time
she has covered the difference be
tween her position in the school here
and the one she entered in Spartan
burg, attained to the honor roll and
secured promotion to the fifth grade.
| She is just ten years old and we
naturally feel proud of her and look
for her to run right off in her studies
from her Spartanburg schoolmates.
Disappointment is not a sufficient
reason for discouragement.
