Mid-Summcr-Night's Entertainment. The first of the ?'mid-summer night's" entertainments by the "Buttinskies" was given last Friday night at the residence of Dr. J. T. Poole. Games were the order of the evening, and Old Maid the specialty. Ices and cakes were served and the evening was especially enjoyable. Just at the hour for leave taking a shower came up which delayed the departure, much to the satisfaction of the young beaux and we dare say the belles like wise. The personnel of the party was: Mr. William Lancaster and Miss Wil lie May Childress. Mr. Clyde Franks and Miss Daisy Sullivan. Mr. Brooks Childress and Miss Zelene Gray. Mr. ^Clarence Bramlett and Miss Lois Estes. Mr. Dudley Young and Miss Ina Lit tle. Mr. Coke Gray and Miss Josie Sullivan. Mr. Chas. Simpson and Miss Mary Todd. Mr. Stobo Young and Miss Rosa Lee Franks. Mr. Moore Sullivan and Miss Lila Hart. Mr. Charley Kern and Miss Beth] Shell. Mr. Earnest Easterby and Miss Eliza J Sullivan. Murder Trials. Certain murder trials attract too j much attention. On that topic the commentators of the hour are in vocif erous accord. The interest is called morbid. No other word is ever used for it; and doubtless morbid it is, al though the attractions of mystery, pas sion, and calamity, of strangeness, sin, and daring, might possibly be defended in a feeble word or two. The law knows its business, and leading lawyers speak sternly of the publicity and newspaper criticism allowed by Ameri cans in murder trials. Yellow journals | take up the cause of any defendant, es pecially a woman, whether they think her guilty or not, if they can make good copy of the sympathetic vein. ? They forge tales against the prosecu tion, and in every possible way work upon the feelings of the jury as well as of the public. Moreover, when we are forced to become acquainted with a de fendant, we naturally do not wish to have her killed. Criminal law is a stern necessity at best, and it can hardly work fairly if it is conducted by papers which appeal by calculation and without scruple to the softer emotions only. By the acquittal of a murderess the kind of life she led may be made to seem attractive. Thousands of prosti tutes may be created by one such epi sode. Ladies of that world may be en couraged to blackmail and the reckless I use of firearms. Many families may be ruined. Such are the considerations of the law, and the reasons why it is deemed unfortunate for the public and the press to turn judicial investigation into a sentimental melodrama or ro mance.?Collier's Weekly.

The farmers in this section are pro gressing nicely with their work. If this dry weather continues very long old General Greene will have to give up the [ fight. Recently it seemed that Providence intended that the farmers | should have a good price for their pro duce and plenty of hay too. Mr. W. S. Knight was in your city' Thursday, the first. Wheat is very sorry in this section as are oats also. One man here said he would make four dozens per acre, which was an average crop with him. Cotton has begun to grow since the rains ceased. Sprained Ankles, Stiff Neck, Lame Shoul der. These are three common ailments for which Chamberlain's Pain Balm is es pecially valuable. If Promptly applied it will save you time, money and suffer ing when trouble with any one of these ailments. For sale by Laurens Drug Co. and Dr. B. F.

THE DISEASE OF WEALTH. R?ssel Sage Passed his Ninetieth Year but Does not Abate one jot from His Stingy Career. William E. Curtis writes in The Chi cago Record-Herald of Russell Sage as follows: Russell Sage is lying hopelessly ill in his brownstone residence at 632 Fifth avenue, near the corner of 50th street. There is nothing the matter with him except old age and what the doctors call senile debility. His tough, old frame is worm out; his mind is weaken ing, and his feeble shanks refuse to carry him any longer. Rut he in nearly ninety years old. Nature is simply as serting itself. His faculties are infirm, but his ruling passion is as strong as it ever was. Although his memory is al most gone, he never forgets the days for the meetings of the boards of di rectors of which he is a member, and al ways sends his brother-in-law, Mr. Slo cum, down town to get the ten-dollar gold pieces to which he is not entitled, but which are paid as fees to the direc tors who attend. Mr. Sage is not en titled to the fee any more than any oth er absent director, but he demands it just the same, and his associates are willing to pay it rather than disturb his peace of mind. Mr. Sage is a member of twelve or fifteen corporations. His fees as a director amount to $50 or $00 a week, and although he has a hundred millions or more in stocks and bonds packed away in safe-deposit vaults ami drawing interest among twenty or thir ty banks, he grasps at them as though they were necessary to keep bis dicker ing light aflame. He is a director in all of the Could companies, and up to two or three months came down town every day to meet with the boards. He was so fee ble that a servant had to almost carry him in, and five minutes after he was placed in his chair he would fall asleep from weakness and would not waken until the meeting was over. Mr. Could told him it was not necessary for him to come down for the meetings and promised to send him a typewritten copy of the minutes and the attendance fee if he would remain at home, when he reluctantly consented to do. The next day, when the board adjourned, his brother-in-law, Mr. Slocum, was waiting in the hall to get the minutes and the money. He was told that they would be sent to Mr. Sage by mail. In the afternoon he returned, saying that Mr. Sage preferred, that be should bring the money himself, and he would not leave until he was given a $10 gold piece. Every time a meeting of any of the boards of which Mr. Sage is a mem ber has been held since, Mr. Slocum has appeared and remained until he has gotten the money. Mr. Sage is not in such a hurry about the minutes. He is willing to have them sent by mail; but he is not capable of reading them or understanding them if they are read to them. He has lost bis grasp upon everything except money; and it is only with the greatest difficulty that he can be induced to sign papers which require his signature. He has always been suspicious of the motives of every one he had bad business with even of his own employees Mr. Slo cum, Mr. Osborn, who has been bis private secretary for more than forty years, his physician, Dr. Munn, and even of his wife. It sometimes takes the combined influence of these people to persuade him lo sign a document. For nearly a year he has had an at tendant to go around with him. His family and friends were urging him for several months before he could be per suaded to employ one, and even then ho did not consent to do so until it was arranged to place the man on the pay roll of the corporations of which be is a director, so that he would not be re quired to pay him wages. While many of the stories that are told of Mr. Sage's miserly habit* and eccentricties are fictitious, none of them are exaggerations. It would bo almost impossible for any one to imagine a man more economical and stingy than he. Although his income is reckoned at $5,000 a day, at least, and some people think it is twice that amount, he has lived at the rate of $5,000 a year or less and his personal expenses have not been a hundred dollars a year. That is a very liberal estimate. He lias two suits of clothes; one for week days and the other for Sunday, and be has worm them as long as anybody can remem ber. He has not bou ' a new over coat for fifteen or t years, and his hat is quite as ol int. if not older. A few years a. nt for a gentleman who had do. a favor, and, in a confidential Way, said that he was going to reward him with a "tip" that he could work for a profit. Then, to the man's astonishment, Mr. Sago gave him the address of a store on 7th avenue when; he could get shoes for $2 a pair. To save time, the Western Union Telegraph Company serves a free lunch to its operators, and Mr. Sago appeared every day at a certain hour. A seat was kept for him at a certain table up to the last day he came downtown. Me never paid fare on the elevated rail road, because he was a director, and the ticket takers had instructions to let him go without paying. He invariably helped himself to newspapers from the stand at 50th street in the morning when on his way down town, and did the same at Rector street when he was going home in the afternoon. Me has taken his newspapers for a generation in the same way, of the same men, and they have never dared to say a word about it. He has always compelled the bootblacks on the elevated stations to shine his shoes for nothing. At first, years ago, they used to remonstrate. He would climb into one of the chairs and wait until they BOrved him. If they demanded pay he would threaten to have them put off the plat form. The omnbibus drivers and cabmen on 5th avenue point out a crack aero, the top pane of glass in one of his parlor windows which, they say, has been there for twenty-two years. The story goes that Mrs. Sage negotiated with a gla zier to replace it with a whole pane for $12.00. Mr. Sage would not pay more than $10. The glazier would not yield, and the deadloek has contiued for al most a quarter of a century. He has a quiet little country place down on Long Island, with a good deal of lawn, but he docs not keep the turf shaved down like his neighbors. He lets the grass grow until it is high enough to make hay and then sells it for $3 to a livery stable keeper in the vicinity. People who have been associated with him can tell yarns like ihis by the hour. Mr. Sage and his wife are members of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church. As long as he was able to get out they attend service regularly, and he always put a $5 bill in the plate. He subscribes $6 and $10 a year to various benevolent purposes and one occasion he gave $60 to a mission. That burst of generosity created a great sensation. Some of his friends did not believe the story. One of them was so rash as to bet $500 that it was not true. Mr. Sage declined to discuss the subject, and the dispute was referred to the pastor of the church, who assured the inquirers solemnly that Mr. Sage hail actually given him $50 for a certain charity. Whereupon the in credulous one wanted to bet that the bill was counterfeit. Mr. Sage is supposed to be worth $100,000,000 in stocks and bonds which are stowed away in the vaults of nine different safe deposit companies. He has accounts with twelve banks and al ways insists upon being paid interest on his deposits. It is estimated that he has ten millions loaned out on securities. His business goes right along notwith standing his illness, being in charge of Mr. Osborn, his secretary, and Mr. Slo cum, his brother-in-law. They are the only people who know anytning about Iiis affairs; they are the only people he trusts at all and he has always been very suspicious of them. But he had to trust somebody. For years, as he has grown old, peo ple have been wondering what will be come of his money. He has never had any children and has no relatives except Mrs. Sage and her brother. She is a good woman, highly esteemed and be loved by every one who knows her, and her life has been a martyrdom. Her husband has been as stingy to her as he has been to everybody else and she has been compelled to save and scrape and economize like the wife of a mechanic.

The early summer when the weather becomes warm and settled is the best time of the whole year to treat catar rhal troubles with the expectation of complete and lasting relief. Everyone who has catarrh of the head and throat should know how fool ish it is to try and cure it by drugging the stomach. Until recently your physician would have said that the only Way to cure ca tarrh would be by a change of climate, but now with Hyomei you can carry a health-giving climate in your purse or vest pocket, and by breaching it a few mintues four times a day soon cure yourself. Everyone who has catarrh, or even a tendency to catarrh, should use Hyo mei now, for the benefit will be gained twice as quickly and the disease thor oughly eradicated from the system. 'the complete Hyomei outfit costs but one dollar, and includes a neat pocket inhaler, a medicine dropper, and sufficient Hyomei for several weeks' treatment. The inhaler lasts a life time, and ;f more Hyomei is needed ex tra bottles in be procured for 50 cents. In Laun * there are scores of well known peop who have been cured of catarrh by H >mei. If it does not cure you, The Lav ms Drug Co., will re turn your mon> ?. This is the strong est evidence the can offer as to their faith in the rem 'y. Scftm the the Kind You Have Always Bought W. C.
