sibility has been placed where we
suppose It belongs, on the lawyers.
The cases should have been arrang
ed so ag to keep the court busy until
either the cases on the calendar
were tried or until the court adjourn
ed. It costs a large amount each day
to run the court while a Jury Is in at
tendance, and for all that was done
at this term, the Jury need never
have been brought here at all. Of
course it is impossible for people to
know what is going to take place,
and it is probable that If the first
case which was fixed for trial Mon
day had been heard, a full weeks
work would have been put in, as this
case would have taken at least two
days, and then the other cases would
have been ready for trial. The con
tinuance of this case was unavoid
able, hence the breaking down of
court. We hope that the lawyers at
the next term will arrange their
cases so that they can go Into their
cases promptly and keep the court
busy, in order that the county may
not be put to unnecessary expense.

NOTES AND COMMENT*.
Mr. Jefferies Entertains.
Mr. J. C. Jefferies entertained quite
a number of friends at his beautiful
home on Granard street Wednesday
evening. Seldom does It fall the lot
of man to be thrown with more con
genial spirits (?). The “spread” was
all that could be desired. It consist
ed of five courses and was prepared
and served in the most delightful
manner. Mrs. Jefferies and her lit
tle daughters were assisted by Mrs.
B. R. Brown, and they imparted their
congeniality to the guests, and added
much to the charm of the occasion.
Those present were: A. N. Wood,
Dr. W. C. Hamrick, Dr. W. A. Port,
R. S. Lipscomb, W. J. Wilbins, R. M.
Wilkins, D. C. Ross, J. D. Jones, T.
B. B.utler, Boyd L. Hames, H. K. Os
borne, J. N. Lipscomb, Dr. B. It.
Brown, J. A. Carroll, Maynard Smith
and Ed H. DeCamp.
In the death of JJishop Duncan, the
Methodist church, the city of Spar
tanburg and the State of South Caro
lina have sustained a serious loss.
The bishop was one of the most strik
ing characters of the Methodist
church, South, and his place will be
hard to fill.

Gaffney is getting to be a big town.
If one gets on a hill which commands
a view of the town, he will see thous
ands of houses spread out below him,
and in almost every part of the town
one may see here and there a new
building in process of erection. Gaff
ney’s growth has been steady ever
since the town was started. She has
never had a boom, and it is to be
devoutly hoped that she ^vill never
have. It is the sure, steady growth
that is permanent in its results.

Before the voting was over it could
be seen that Gary had gained from

49; Mauldin 13: Jones S. Total vote

F. H- McMaster of Columbia Elected.
Columbia, March 4.—Mr. p. H. Mc
Master, of Columbia, was elected
surance commissioner this afternoon
and will be the first to hold the new
position which carries a salary of
$2,500 per year. The office was creat
ed at the present session of the gen
eral assembly and under the act the
commissioner is charged with all du
ties pertaining to Insurance com
panies which now devolve on the
comptroller general and other State
officials and with new duties Imposed
by the act.
H«l«n Ktllcr Tells How She Recog
nizes Different Persons.
From exhiilations 1 learn much about
people. I often- know the work they
are engaged In. The odors of wood.
Iron, paint and drugs cling to the gar
ments of those that work In them.
Thus I can distinguish the carpenter
from the ironworker, the artist from
the mason or the chemist. When n
person passes quickly from one place
to another I get a scent impression of
where he has been—the kitchen, the
garden or the sickroom. I gain pleas
urable ideas of freshness and good
ta^te from the odors of soap, toilet wa
ter. clean garments, woolen and silk
stuffs and gloves.
1 have not. indeed, the nil knowing
stent of the hound or the wild animal.
None but the halt and the blind need
fear my skill in pursuit, for there are
other things besides water, stale trails,
confusing cross tracks, to put me at
fault. Nevertheless human odors are
as varied and capable of recognition n<
hands and faces. The dear odors of
those I love are so definite, so unmis
takable, that nothing can quite obli
crate them If many years should
elapse !>efore I saw an intimate friend
again, I think I should recognize his
odor instantly in the heart of Africa
as promptly as would my brother that
barks.
Once, long ago, in a crowded railway
station a lady kissed me as she bur
ried by. I had hot touched even her
dress, but she left a scent with her kiss
which gave me a glimpse of her. The
years are many since she kissed me.
yet her odor is fresh in my memory.
It is difficult to put into words the
thing itself, the elusive person odor.
There seems to ho no adequate vocabu
lary of smells, and I must fall back on
approximate phrase and metaphor.
Some people have a vagfie, unsub-
tantiai odor that floats about, mock
ing every effort to identify it. I! is the
•. ill-o’llie-wisp of my olfaetivo experi
ence. Sometimes 1 meet one who lacks
a distinctive person .‘cent, and I seldom
find such a one lively or entertaining.
On the other hand, one who has a
pungent odor often possesses great vi
tality, energy and vigor of mind.—From
“Sense and Sensibility,” by Helen Kel
ler, In Century.
MODE* OF THE MOMENT.
Some Smart Hate; Butterfly Stylea
Prominent
With the beginning of March malda
and matrons alike begin to think
longingly of the Blaster hat and al
though it is full early to speab of
these dainty creations still the millin
ery modes have already declared
themselves and everywhere milliners
are having openings and the “very
latest fashions from Paris” are dis
played. A good many small hats are
shown and among these are some
large toque and turban shapes that
are very smart indeed.
Some Smart Hats.
A medium sized hat of white chip
has the brim sloping down a little
towards the back in the modified
mushroom style. It is trimmed
around the rather high crown with
large pink roses and about them is
a graceful draping of mousseline-de
sole worked in eyelet embroidery ef
fect.
Another stunning chapeau seen at
an opening was a rather large shape
of Copenhagen blue straw trimmed
around the left side of the crown with
a long ostrich plume that hung ovgr
the brim in the back. Across the
front was one of the new broad bows
made of inch and a half ribbon with
two loops on each side of the knot.
Then there was a large turban of
soft brown straw, twisted and mani
pulated into artistic curves and folds.
This was adorned on the left side
with a soft bunch of ostrich plumes
in dull shades of brown and tan that
gave an indescribable softening touch
to the face.
jackets of peculiar Cut.
A prominent feature of the spring
fashions is the increasing number of
suits with jackets in the butterfly
style, as it is called, or in other
Judge Pritchard has decided that
when South Carolina engaged in the
business of selling whiskey for profit
she denied herself the rights and
majesty of a sovereign State and
therefore, cannot claim the immunity
from suits to which States are entl-
i* tied and the eleventh amendment of
the constitution of United States.
Judge Pritchard is right. When a
State engages in the business of
dealing out death and destruction to
its citizens for profit, and at the same
time refuses that privilege to the in
habitants thereof, it has no warrant
for claiming the rights and immuni
ties usually accorded to sovere^u
States.
The new city council will be In
ducted into office tonight, and It will
be the duty of every loyal citizen of
the town to help the city govern
ment to uphold the majesty of the
law. No government can be success
ful that falls to get the support of a
majority of the people. Note the at

majority of the citizens are opposed
