To the Democratic Voters of the State: I take this means to express to the Democratic voters of the State my appreciation of the support given me in my race for re-election as Railroad Commissioner and to say that I shall be grateful for their votes in the sec ond primary. The interrupted mail service makes it impossible in the short time until the second election for me to reach many of my friends. B. L. Caughman. Columbia. S. C., Aug. 29, 1908. The Girl Without a Hat. (Washington Herald.) We do not know—we almost fear to hope—whether It to the setting in of a new fashion, this charming cus tom of girls going about hatless, but, if it is, let us welcome It with ex ceeding joy. She to becoming ubiquit ous, this girl without a hat, and in the street or on the street car, in the parks, wherever she may be, she adds beauty to the landscape and pictures queness to the view. More welcome, too, will the new-old custom of the fair sex be if one of its results is the dethroning of that awful monstrosity, the “Merry Widow’’ hat, that dire shape of straw that mows a swatch of discomfort through our t horoughfares aud which has added to the burdens of a torrid summer. Let us hope that the new style of femi nine bare-headedness has come about through female recognition of the eternal verity of the poet who declar ed that the crowning glory of a wo man is her hair. It may be that the girls who are braving convention, declaring their freedom from the thralls of the mil liner, and making life more beautiful by discarding their hats, need en couragement. For heaven’s sake, let us all get together and praise the sex for its good sense. We should say, at a rough estimate, that the matrimo nial chances of the girl without a hat, | as against the girl with a “Merry Widow,” were at least a hundred to one. and that should help some, if its truth can be proved. All hail to the sensible American girl and her crown of glorious hair. HUMAN HANDS DO NOT TOUCH IT.
