Sept. 6 -Io a speech here today Mr. Bfyao said that he does not favor the withdrawal of tbe troops from the Philippines till a stable gov eminent is established. He believed that onr government, after establishing the Philippins republio. should extenu to its people the same protection that it 9 now giving to the republics of South and Central Amerioa-protection from outside interference and unhampered freedom to work oat their own destiny. The Abbeville Press and Banner has raised the point, of which it is net esr tain that congress gives to its members 120 a year to pay their subscriptions to newspapers io their respective dis tricts. It is very doubtful whether such appropriation bas been made, but public money is spent for less worthy objects, and yet a congressman who ie too stingy cr mean to take all the newspapers in bis district is hardly a representative mao. Tbis might also apply to members of the legislature and all public officials i- i i i -i A charter has been granted to the Electric and Power Company of Abbe ville. Capital stock $15.000. The company has bought from Auditor W. W. Bradley and Judge J C Klugh their water power on Little River known as Martin's Shoals, two miles below Cade's mill, the shoals belog some sixteen miles from Abbeville, and capable of developing some two hun dred norse power, which will be trao*. mitted to Abbeville -Abbeviiie Press and Banner. i- i i i am Spartanburg and Greenville bate lately been overran nightly with swarms of small blaok bags. The last Spartanburg Herald says : A plague of bard, blaok bugs a half inch long, wme upon .the town Thursday night. As soon as lamps were lighted tbev began to swarm into houses, cover iog walls, ceilings and floors. Under the arc lights thousands coald be seen and the light brown light and telephone poles assumed a black cast. Hundreds were seen upon the sidewalks and the bags eesmed to have no particular business OD hand except to keep one close company. - ? i i i -? Watering: the Milk. The milkmen of Naples have a way of carrying concealed in their waist coats bladders full of water. From these bladders india rubber tubing stretches down their arms, and by simply pressing their sides while they are drawing the milk they are able to squirt water from the ladder into the jug or basin simultaneously with the milk. So it is quite a com mon plan for a woman who is getting her jug filled with milk to hold the milkman's wrists while he milks his cow or goat Until the stranger has the reason explained to him he thinks it very odd to see women crouching down by the milkman, keeping a tight hold on to each of bis wrists.-San Francisco Call. Sunny People. Christianity wants nothing so much In the world as sunny people. The old are hungrier for love than bread, and the oil of joy is very cheap, and if you can help the poor on with a garment of praise lt will be better for them than blankets.-Henry Drummond Its Chief Use. A little boy writing a composition on the zebra the other day was requested to describe the animal and to mention what it is useful for. After deep re flection he wrote: "The zebra is like a horse, only striped. It is chiefly used to illustrate the letter Z." An Irish philosopher says it's a great blessing that night comes on late in the day when one Is too tired to work longer. Onr Bia Gans. The largest projectile for the 13 inch the largest gun mounted on the war ships of the United States navy, is 3*4 feet long and weighs 1,100 pounds. The projectile travels 30 feet before lt leaves the muzzle cf the gun, and in that distance is set revolving at the speed of 75 revolutions per second. The rifling inside of the gun consists of 52 spiral grooves, cut one-twentieth of an inch deep at the bore. Odd Companions. The Kenu< bec Journal tells of a man who bas a iox and a bound that are boon companions. When both animals were in the pup stage, they were plac ed together and have now enjoyed a year of each other's society in peace and harmony. They sleep together and play with each other much after the manner of two frolicsome pups. The fox has perfect freedom of action, com ing and going at will, but be always re turns at night io share the dog's bed. Strictly, there is no such thing as the pursuit of happiness; we simply dodge unhappiness.-Detroit Journal. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Signature of ^^^^/^^^S^ A DISGUSTED CROOK. _ i He Picked lp n >Iaii About Town For a. "Knbe." Chicago possesses a man about town tvho is constantly mistaken for what is known as the 'Tube'' by crooks and sharps. Any one who knows him would wonder how such an error could hap pen, yet it does. This rounder is a good natured man aud hence the fel lows who essay to play ur n Mm rare ly get into trouble. Ile is really a keen hand, although loose and ill fitting clothing lend au air of rusticity to his i appearance. This is accentuated by a habitual manner indicating innocence and introspection. He was walking along one of the busy streets when he was approached by a shrewd looking individual wbo desired to engage him in conversation. He coyly admitted that be was broke at the time, when the man said "sh" and drew bim to one side. Then the pavement merchant displayed to tho wondering gaze of the rounder certain stones called diamonds and besought bim to buy. He bespoke bim tbus: "Say, I'm a thief, see, and I pinched these sparks. I want to sell 'em and they go mighty cheap. This one is worth a century and you git it for half. I like your looks and guess we can fix up a trade." "TVill they fade in the wash?" asked tbe man about town. "If they won't I might invest, but the last ones I got from one of you blokes faded badly. Now if tbese will stand soap and wa ter, why I might put up a quarter for that one!" The self confessed thief "backed away" with a scared look on bis face. He glared at his man intently, all tbe time edging away to create more dis tance between them. "And I took bim for a rtrbe," be muttere^l, as be slid around an adjacent corner.-Chicago Chronicle. ^ CUBAN RELIEF cures Colic, jPv Neuralgia and Toothache in ' five minutes.
