CAROLINA GIRL TO PRACTICE LAW. Miss Ruth DuRant Evaas, a Native ol Marioo. Miss Ruth IhiRant Evans,a native of Marion, but now a resident of Chattanooga, Teun., is the only woman graduate of the class of 1908 of the Chattanooga University of Law. Miss Evans graduated at the head of a class of 150 and was highly complimented for her excellent work in examination. j The news of Miss Evans' success will be gratifying to her friends in / South Carolina. She has large fam' ily connections in the Pee Dee sectiou of the State. The Chattanooga News, in speaking of Miss Evans'graduation, says: "The male members of the family have been lawyers from generation to generation, and no doubt the ability and taste for the law has been or ganized in her by hereditary transmission. Miss Evans' work during the session has been characterized by remarkable efficiency. '* Tlj| Marion Star adds the following: "South Carolina may well take off its hat to Miss .fcvans. She has held ber owu in a class in which were members of legislature and real estate men of age and experience. It is said that her examination papers presented to the Tennessee bar examiners have received the highest praise, as having an unusual legal tone. "Whatever may be said of Miss Evans' logical right of advantage of descent in the male line, she has very superior opportunity by mere association with a yery brilliant mother. "Added to brains, Miss Evans has grace and beauty, a triple alliance to insure a remarkable career to this young lady."?The State. This is what Hon. Jake More, State Warden of Georgia, says of Kodol for Dyspepsia: "E C ? DeWitt & Co., Chicago. 111.?Dear Sir?I haxe suffered more than f twenty years from indigestion About eighteen months ago I had grown so much worse that I could'nt digest a crust of corn bread and could not retain anything on my stomach. I I lost 25 lbs; in fact I made up my ' miud that I could not live but a " short time,when a friend of mine recommeuded Kodol. I consented to try it to please him and was better in one day. I now weigh more than I ever did in my life and am in better health than for many years Kodol did it. I keep a bottle constantly, and write this hoping that humanity may be benefitted.

Bom Is What Ve Hake It A man may own a handsome and well furnished residence and yet may ( not possess a home?that is, a homo in its best and purest sense, where domestic felicity reigns supreme; for only amid such surroundings can we find the happy home. So understood, there is no sweeter word in the language than "home," and one has well said: "Few words lie nearer the heart than the word 'home.'" To tho3e of us who are trained in good homes, how deep, how heartfelt is the pity we feel for those who were deprived of that moral and social stimulus that is the concomitant of the happy home! "Where is your home?" a little boy was asked by an acquaintance. "Where mother is," the little fellow replied, as he looked lovingly across at her. The little boy's philosophy would be endorsed by many of maturerage. Undoubtedly the mother of a family, the mistress of the house, has much to do with the "tone" or quality of home life. The author of "The Chronicles of the Schoenberg-Cotta Family" says: "Of our mother I . . cannot think of anything to say. She is just the mother?our own dear, patient, loving little mother; unlike every one else in the world, \ and yet it seems as if there was nothI ing to say about her by which one ^ -could make anyone understand what . she is." In other words, the "dear, patient, loving little mothers" are sweetly indescribable, their fragrant lives being often compressed into that single yet significant sentence, "She makes home happy." Just how she does it would puzzle her to tell in detail, and perhaps she wouldn't if she could; but aside from "personality" or the individual expression of loving devotion which prompts in a thousand ways, we may safely give a few receipes for adding to the good cheer of the home. Here are several which we cordially recommend: 1. Recipe for securing love: Love. 2. Recipe for educating your children: Educate yourself. 3. Recipe for having friends: Be one. 4. Recipe for perpetual ignorance: Be satisfied with your opinions and contented with your attainments. 5. Recipe for having a beautiful i r>? u i UUIUC. JL>C ucautiiu 1 juuicru, 6. Recipe for good temper: Keep weet. 7. Recipe for lessening annoying experiences: Don't *erve them up at meal times. 8. Recipe for curing the "gadding" habit: Make home the most attractive place on earth.?Frank J. Mallett, in "Mothers." Hot SprlDgs Ark., is no competition against Lippman's Great Remedy for the cure of Rheumatism. James Newton, Aberdeeu, Ohio, says P.P.P. did him more good than three months treatment at Hot Springs, Ark, W. T. Timraon8, of Waxahatchie Tex., says his rheumatism was so bad that he was confined to his bed for months. Physicians advised Hot Springs, Ark., and Mineral Wells' Texas, at which place he spent seven j weeks in vain, with knees so badly swollen that his tortures were beyond endurauce. P. P. P. made the cure and proved itself as in thousands of other cases, the best blood purifier in the world, and superior to all Sarsa | parillasand the so-called Kneumatic| I Springs. Dod'Is For Churchmen Don't confound morality with religion. Don't mistake self-adulation for self-respect. Don't expect to love when reverence has departed. Don't become selfish because selfishness is the essence of sin. Don't patch a lie unless you want to make a larger rent. Don't* close your heart to heaven if you want to dwell therein. Don't try to get to heaven by covering up your faults. Don't undertake to know more about God unless you are willing to know more about your fellowmen. Don't hunt for a martyr's crown unless you are sure your head will bear oue up. Don't boast your helpfulness to others if you would not be regarded as self-satisfied. Hav Blind Ton Died. Thomas Wiggins, the blind negro who was known as "Blind Tom," is dead. As a slave he belonged to General Bethune, of Georgia. At the time of his death he was an inmate of the home of Mrs. Lerche, former wife of General Bethume,? the General having died years ago, and his widow having re-married. Blind Tom was snch a familiar, pathetic and marvelous freak of 3natnre that our readers will appreciate an authentic account of his death. Several .newspapers have raised 1 a great wail because of the statement that certain people had made 1 millions on "Blind Tom" and then allowed mm to pass away m destitute circumstances. That his last days were spent in comfort, with plenty and under the kindest of care 1 and good attention is clearly shown ^ from the following which appeared ^ immediately after his death in the New York World: Three weeks ago, as he sat before his piano in the home of Mrs. Eliza B Lerche, the widow of his old master, at No. 60 Twelfth street, Hoboken; singing the old melodies with which he had thrilled great audiences before the civil war, he suddenly stopped and fell, face downward on the floor. Mrs Lerche, who has cared for him over twenty years ran into the room, and helping him up, found that his whole upper right side was paralyzed. But Tom couldn't understand that he was different, and soon went back to his piano. When he found that his right hand could not strike the keys he said, with his voice quavering, "Tom's fingers won't play." 1 Again and again he tried. Finally, when he realized it was useless his big blind eyes filled with tears and ( he wept likear-hild. Each day he , returned to the piano and with his , left han^sta* ted some favorite piece* ( Discords came quickly,however, and then, with tearmoistened cheeks, he would rise and pace the floor until , late into the night.

Love Never CheapensA grest man has written that the trouble with women is that they make themselves too cheap?too easy to men who do not appreciate them Well, perhaps he is right. A woman's pride is almost invariably sacrificed to her love. When she ' loves she loves, and all else sinks into insignificance. With men, almost without excep- j tion amition comes aneau or love. Whoever heard of a man giving up a career for the sake of a woman? But thousands of women have giveu up a career without a second thought simply because they loved a man If woman cheapens herself for man's sake and man does not appreciate it, it is to man's eternal dis-grace. A woman's conception cf love is to give and always to give. She may be m ither, wife, sweetheart or sister, but always she is unselfishly bouring out her devotion at the feet of some man. Loye is too fiue a thing to desecrate by the term 4 'cheapen.'' For perfect love is self abnegation, and sacrifice of self can never hurt the giver, When a woman loves her one desire is to see the loved one happy. In every good woman's love there runs a< strain of the maternal. That strain < of maternal tenderness is the holiest thing about a woman. like a brood- i ing dove her mind continualy hovers i over the welfare of the one she loves, i There is not a man on earth, do < matter how base he may be, who has ] not at some hour of his life felt the heavenly sweetness of some woman's i devotioD. I That he has grown callous to it < and deserted or dishoaored it will t weigh against him ia the last great ] reckoning?

Following Precedent, Congress May Vote Her $5,000 a Year. Washington, June 29.?It is thought likely that congress will provide a pension of $5,000 a yy^ for Mrs. Grover Cleveland, folio ing precedent.

On the nigbt of the 26th ultimo during a practice skirmish on Sullivan's Island, a squad of United States Regulars fired point blank into a squad of five men from Company "G,'' 2nd S C Vols, (Hartsville Company), painfully wounding every man. One of the voluuteers appears to be shot entirely throught the fleshj part of his arm and says he wat then knocked down by the impact of a discharge.

Dr Pewe of Hartsville discovered on Monday that some of the many wounds of this man were caused by shot and not by wads, and extracted a bird shot from one of his wounds. Some of the shot were, however, too deep1) imbedded to be extracted. Some of the wounds of the other nen may have been made by shot as ;he punctures are small and cylinirical, full stop. We are informed :hat a man from Company "E,M 2nd Etegiment, (Bennettsville Company), daims to have been shot with bird ihot on the same night while assistng in repelling an attach of the egnlars.

The discovery that some of the wounds of our men were made with shot adds a seriousness to the affair that seems to call for drastic punishment for its perpetrators.
