Prejudice is a mighty sorry element
for anyone to possess. The only thing
that will eradicate the disease is
common sense on the part of the pa
tient. Consequently, most people af
flicted with the complaint never re
cover from the disease.

Editor Zach McGee is to leave the
Spartanburg Herald on July 1st.
We regret to lose our very congenial
neighbor, but trust his future path
may not lead him from the borders
of our commonwealth. He has cer
tainly lent an additional charm to
the Herald since his engagement up
on it.

After being out twelve hours an
Aiken county jury returned a verdict
of not guilty in the case of Lee
Green, charged with the murder of
Abram Surasky, a Jew peddler. The
defense was that Surasky had at
tempted to assault the young wife of
Green. The jury certainly accepted
the testimony of Green and his wife
a* true, for the circumstances were
such as to indicate that it was mur
der for robbery. The fact that Green
was cold blooded enough to twice
hit his victim in the head with an
axe after he had been mortally
wounded with a shot gun, that he
placed the dead body in the wagon of
the victim and drove it off into the
woods, and that it remained there
some time before it was discovered,
was enough to hang any man. But
South Carolina juries are becoming
noted for their wanton miscarriages
of justice.
Bill Arp’s Ideal Girl.
Here is Bill Arp’s bit of wisdom
that fits every clime, every race,
every nation and all time; “Once I
was young, but now I am old, and 1
never have seen a girl who went back
on her mother who ever came to be
worth a one-eyed button to her hus
band. It is the law of God. It is not
exactly in the Bible, but it is written
large and lawful on the lives of many
misfit homes. If one of you chaps
ever run across a girl with a face full
of roses, who says to you when you
come to the door: “I cannot go for
thirty minutes, for the dishes are not
wiped,’ >ou wait for that girl. Sit
right down on the doorstep and wait
for her, because some other fellow’
will come along and marry her off.
and then you lose an angel. Wait for
her, and stick to her like a burr on
a mule’s tail.”
The Present Partiality for Linen—
Hats, Waists, Gloves, Hosiery.
Each season has its own particular
fad, and this summer linen is the
rage. Linen dresses, especially
those in colors, are certainly fasci-
| nating—so cool looking and, withal,
so serviceable; free from flounces and
furbelows of every kind. Flat trim
mings, such as braid, stitched bands
j of contrasting hue, are important
factors, and what may be accomp
lished by the skillful disposition of
| large or small pearl or gilt buttons,
; is surprising. Wide linen lace on a
white linen suit, put on in hip-yoke
style; two rows up the front and
around the hips, and three addition
al bands at the sides and back, with
a box-plaited Eton (also with lace
insertion) and four white linen pen
dants at the front, presents a hand
some appearance.
Cross Stitch
in black or in black and crimson, on
a white linen panel front, is a new
and conspicuous garniture. Tucked
linen waists without a suspicion of
the blouse, and worn with a colored
leather belt, are a change from the
well-worn Eton, the half tight jacket
or the true blouse. Linen or pongee
hats for really young ladies, give the
finishing touch to the linen suit, and
come with stitched brims and trim
med by soft silk folds around the
crowns, or large, flat silk bows a
little to one side, resting on both
crown and brim. A large white coq
feather pompon gives a stylish fin
ish. The crown of a peculiar hat,
was draped with ivory white, dotted
linen net, which w'as also wound
gracefully around a white bird, nest
ling on the brim at one side .
Accordion Plaited
grass linen edged by lace also forms
brims and crowns, rows of gilt braid
on the plaits, being an optional mat
ter. Colored satin bands around
crowns, impart contrast and are of
ten dotted with gilt, or gilt rosettes
at the side, hold satin loops in posi- i
tion. Linen waists with hand em
broidery of roses, leaves, daises or
foliage, are held in high esteem, and
in these days of waists being drawn
down to a point, and skirts made se
cure at the back, a strong, reliable
safety pin is invaluable ,and it is for
this reason that the Cap-Sheaf is so
desirable. On account of its being
coilless it has the special advantage
of lying perfectly flat, and does not
have a tendency to twist like the old
style, made with a coil, while the
shield is so long and the wire is so
stiff that it is impossible for the pin
to pull out. or become unfa-hened.
Silk Mull Waists
are exquisite, in some cases with a
yoke of Valenciennes lace edging,
and embroidered flowers below, or
fan-shaped designs, fo-nied entirely
of lace edging compose the yoke.
Valenciennes lace is another i:iro-e
of the season, and it is inserted (in
medallion form) in sheer hand em
broidered linen robes for evening
•wear.
In Silk Gloves
the "Formosa” leads, as its durabil
ity has been fully tes .3d. and next
comes the open-mesh silg glove with
a Lisle thread palm. Blact or white
lace mitts are of all lengths and ail
prices, the long, real lace glove being
very expensive, but correspondingly
handsome.
The Leading Novelty
in hosiery for ladies is mixtures of
blue, gray or green, precisely similar
in appearance to those worn by men.
Plain black silk or black open-work
cannot he dislodged, and equal popu
larity may be claimed fo r small col
ored embroidered designs on black.
Plain-colored silk to match the cos
tume is in great demand, not more
so, however, than white, both plain
or in open work. Blue open work,
embroidered in white figures Is styl
ish with tan shoes.

No Such People in Gaffney (?)
[Wateree Messenger.]
There is nothing more discouraging
than the way some people talk of the
enterprise of a town, and sometimes
the severest criticism comes from
those who ought to be its best
friends. Many a worthy enterprise
could tide over its misfortunes if it
were not for those who stand ever
ready to give them a kick. Don’t do
this. Some honest, patriotic citizen
may be spending sleepless nights in
his efforts to benefit not only himself
but the entire community, and would
succeed but for unkind criticisms.
Watch your words.

NATURES OWN REMEDY.
Mi-o-na No Ordinary Remedy. Gu
aranteed Bond With Every Box.
The unusual way in which Gaffney
Drug Co., one of Gaffney’s most re
liable drug stores, sell Mi-o-na, em
phasizes the fact that this remedy
possesses unusual merits. The
guarantee that they give with every
package is plain and positive—“If
Mi-o-na does not cure you of dyspep
sia, we will return your money.”
Mi-o-na contains remedies that
soothe and heal the inflamed lining
of the stomach. It helps digestion and
thus relieves the digestive system of
work and strain. It gives pure, rich
blood and strengthens the nerves, so
that the whole system is built up and
vitalized while the dyspepsia is being
cured.
Most people who set out to reform
the public forget to do it to them
selves first.
No poet has yet dared to write one
on the beautiful slush.
