A forlorn individual, with a “tele scope" urip in one hand and an emp ty pochetbook in the other, enlighten ed the detectives at the Union depot the oth r day concerning the latest wrinkle in confidence games. The melanchol; one had just been re'iev ed of $r»u by a couple of chance ac quaintances on a train. "This is how it happened,” said the traveler: ‘I was coming from Ok lahoma. and after leaving Fort Scott sat in the smoker with a man who got on at that station. We chatted a bit and were watching a game of cribbage among the traveling men across the aisle when a map came through the car with a pack of play ing cards in his hand. He stopped by the cribbage players and asked them to buy the cards They refused, so he turned to our seat. “ ‘Gentlemen.’ he said. ‘I'd like to sell these cards. They are of unusu ally good quality, and i’ll sell them for the price on an ordinary deck.' “Let's see.” said my seat mate, taking the pack. ‘I don’t see anything remarkable about these. They look like ordinary 21 cent cards to me.’ “ All right,’ replied the owner of the cards in an offended tone: ‘if you can't distinguish the difference in the quality of cards, there’s no use in nn- wasting time talbing to you.’ “Ho reached for the pack, and as it was handed back to him one of the cards fell to the floor, apparently un noticed by the owner, however, saw the card cant- ringly: “ Those cards may M. fall. be i seat and male said.

Now. what will you bet on that?’ “My companion had already cover ed the card on the floor with his foot. ' 'Oh, I'll call anything you’ve got. he laughed. “Without more ado the card sales man lugged out a bundle of hills and announced that he didn't like to take candy from infants, hut that he would bet a hundred, even money, that the pasteboards in his hand composed a full deck of fifty-two cards, not count, ing the joker This, of course look ed like Christmas expenses to us. who knew that one card of the nack lay on the floor. “I'll let you in on half the bet,” said nn- seat mate, generously, and. of course. I jumped at the chance. “The money was posted, the cards were counted and the deck found to he complete. My seat mate and the card salesman left the train qt the next station. Of course I see it all now—that is, all but one thing: "Why did it not occur to me that there was something odd in a man having $100 who had a moment be fore been trying to peddle a twobit nack of cards?” Uncle Wilmot's Hen. (Youth’s Companion.) “Speaking of the intelligence of dumb creatures.” observed the bald- headed hoarder, “mv Uncle Wilmot has a hen on his farm in the country that never lays an egg on Sunday at anv season of the year” This statement aroused the oth< r harders at once. "You don't expect us to believe ihat, do vou?” said the man with the pointed heard. "It's the solemn truth,” rejoined the other. “I can testify to it of my own personal knowledge, and can prove it by every member of my un cle’s family.” "It doesn’t seem absolutely impos- sible to me,” said another hoarder. "Some aniiibals can count. This lias been proved in the case of oxen that are used in certain foreign countries as the motive power for primitive mills or irrigation machinery. They are driven a hundred times round a circular track and then allowed to rest. After a few’ months the oxen will stop at the hundredth revolution of their own accord. The onlv pos sible explanation of this is that the animals can count a hundred. But how can a. hen, even though she may learn to count seven easily enough, grasp the idea that it is wrong to lay an on Sunday? That is the only feature of the case that I can't under stand. What is your explanation of it?’’ “Well," replied the baldheaded hoarder, "the onlv reason I can offer j whv the old hen never lays anv egg on Sunday is that she never lays an egg on any other day of the. week, and hasn't for two whole years." i* rc y i IT T A.

Block, a prominent merchant of this city, a member of the firm of Hurst Bros & Co., was attacked on the street in front of his residence about 7 o’clock tonight by a white man. He was struck a stunning blow in the head which opened the scalp for three inches, but was fortunately not ren dered unconscious. An iron brace, 'i^d for retaining th > bark hoard of a wagon, was found at the snot bent to the shape o fa human head and it is thought that this was the weapon used. Mr. Block left his store about 7 o'clock- for his home. He followed ills usual course, up Broad stree* to De- Kalb and from there straight home on DeKalb street. Owing to the fact that the electric light plant was blown up here several months ago. the stre * • were very dark toni‘ ,^,,, . with a misty rain falling, they were espec ially forbidding. Mr. Block noticed just before lie reached his gate that some one was following close behind him and turned to look lust in time to receive tne ter rific blow. He staggered, but did not fall, and although badly dazed, gave immediate pursuit to his assailant, who had turn ed back down DeKalb street lie fol lowed him as far as the corner of Littleton street, but in his weak ened condition could go no further. in the short, glimpse he had of his assailant he was able to discern that he was a white man. Be Sensible. (Spartanburg Herald.) Sell a few bales of your cotton at. or about, the Farmers’ Union mini mum of 11 cents and pay your credit ors all. or at least half you owe them. But don't glut the market. Better still, where ever you can store cotton in a good warehouse do it. and turn these cotton certificates over to your creditors and keep all the cotton off the market that it is possible to do. If you are not pushed up hard for money don't put a hale of cotton on the market now and let the price go up to 12 cents, where our South Carolina Unions put the price in the outset. But don't for a moment undertake to dodge your creditors or do any dirty tricks in order to save a few dollars. Let no Farmers Union man sell out his reputation as an honorable man by not standing up square to his just obligations with all men. It does no man any credit to do a shady deed to get even with his un- faiv creditors. Two wrongs don’t make one right act CARROLL £ BYERS The cotton market is pushing up, trying to get above 11 cents, but the cotton farmers keep piling the cotton on the market every time the price starts upward, and this rushing cot ton on the market holds the price down. The cotton growers are now the worst cotton hears in our country— thev are the men that keen prices from rising hy dumping on the cotton every time the market starts on a rise. The men that supply the cotton growers and have that amount of cot ton under their control coni,) now do a great big thing for the Southern cotton growers if they would only come together and pull to save this advancement in cotton for the South. The blind, selfish greed that pos sesses some men will never allow them to consider the welfare of their country at any time. These men never once realize the fact tiiat the country protects their property or they could not nossess tills selfish grab after they have taken it for their own.

It is a well estab lished fact that cotton draws lightly ii”on the fertility of the land as com pared with tobacco, and far less than corn and wheat in the North and West. The old idea that cotton cannot be produced by white labor has gone down before the march of experience, as the fleecy product is now’ being profitably grown by Northern as well as Southern white men in every Southern State Our Boys’ and Children’s Clothes Are as carefully selected for merit as can be, as we recognize that the boy of today will in a few years fill the army of wearers of Men’s Clothes.

Dear Sir: You may lii:« to know what you pay for the paitit in a gal lon of "paint.” assuming the pure- paint part of all "paints" to he all alike: which it isn’t: and worth $1.75 a gallon Of a paint adulterat’d 10 per cent, the pure-paint part brings $1.94 a gal lon 1o per cent brings $2.00 a gallon 25 " 2.33 33 1-3 “ 2.62 50 “ 3.50 75 " 7.00 The average adulteration of paint in this country is about one-third: so, you see, the average price the Ameri can people are paying for paint is about $2.02 a gallon. It is a game <>f wits. Adulterators are always too sharp for the bulk of consumers. People won’t pay $1.75 a gallon for paint. So they pay $2.62 a gallon for paint and something that looks like paint mixed with it. (Thev Day th** printer, besides, from $2 to $i for painting those useless gallons.) Whv do thev do it?
