Fishburn. secretary of the Commercial Club, of Dallas, Texas, has prepared a set of rules for makina a town grow. He guarantiees their efficacy. Here they are: 1. Join no organization looking to the upbuilding of your town. This will prove an encouragement to those who give their time and money to sus? tain such organizations. 2. Impugn the motives of those who join and charge them with a desire to advertise themselves. This in? spires patriotic men to work all the harder for the public good. 3. Pour cold water on every new home enterprise, predict its early failure, and contribute to that end by patronizing^ its rivals in other towns. This will encourage others to put their money in home enterprises. 4. When a Committee calls on you for a contribution to any good cause, act as "a sore headed bear, and yield up what you do -give as begrudging? ly as possible. This lightens the bur? dens of the committeemen and sends them on their way rejoicing in their work of love. 5. When strangers visit your town let them wander around alone and enlighten themselves by reading the signs and pumping the professional loafer. They will carry away a de? lightful rememberauce of their visit and advertise the town wherever they go. 6. 'Cuss out" your public officials (to their back of course) and accuse them of everything from petty larce? ny to high treason, no matter wheth? er you can substantiate your^charges 09 not. This will prove a keen in? centive to the complete fullfillment Of their, official obligations. 7. Whenever your town papers dif? fer in the slightest with your ideas of public policy, declare they have been bought up and promptly cut off your patronage. The editor will turn the other cheek and redouble his ef? forts in behalf of the town and its "good people." * 8. Oppose any enterprise which is not in exact accordance with your own ideas. This will be, conducive to the spirit of concession and unity which is necessary. 9. Give sparingly if at all to move? ments for the general good of the town even if you are the largest proper? ty owner in it. This will spur on to greater exertions the public spirited citizens your town now has and in? duce the coming of others. 10. Observe the rules closely and there* can be no doubt about the growth of your town. It will grow and continue to grow-up in weeds until it^shall ultimately become a fit habitation for bats and owls. We believe that some of our people already understand and employ the principles here formulated but they are not enough to make the system completely effective. A wider employ? ment of the rules will accomplish something definite. Now is the time to organize.-Charleston Post. The Fight Against Illiteracy. The Un?ted Daughters of the Con- ! federacy can engage in no more useful warfare than in that against illiteracy among the Southern whites, upon which they have entered at the sug? gestion of Mrs. Martha G. Gielow, president general of the Southern In? dustrial Educational Association. Mrs. Gielow has found that among the white dwellers in the mountain dis? tricts of the South there is almost no schooling. Xor are the children of the poor whites in the lowlands so much better off as to be beyond the need of outside assistance. Mrs. Gie low's summary of the situation is that *n Alabama 14 per cent, of the native born whites above 10 years of age, are illiterate; in North Carolina 19 per cent, and South Carolina 13. She adds chat the percentage of the illit? eracy tn the Tennessee and Kentucky mountain districts is far greater than in those of the Slates mentioned. We think of ourselves as a public schooled nation, and so, on the whole, we are, but spots of illiteracy persist.-Boston Transcript. ?Why ta.ke a dozen things to cure that cough?

Thc Grafting Senator Will Have to Be Kicked Out if the Senate Wants to Get Rid of Him. Washington, May 24.-Senator Bur? ton, of Kansas, whose conviction on the charge of practicing before the postofhee department for personal gain was affirmed by the supreme court last Monday, announced today that he will not resign from the senate. It had been hoped by some of the leaders of the senate that he would relieve them of the embarrassment of taking action in the case by voluntarily giving up his seat. In a conference with Senator Bur? roughs, chairman of the committee on privileges and election, Burton said that he did not believe that his status had been changed by the decis? ion of the court, and he would, there? fore, not resign.

Greatest an? tiseptic healer of piles, wounds and sores. 25c at Sibert's Drug Store. Sion Miller, who, with his" brother and Russell McCormick, was tried in Saluda at the October, 1904, term of Court, charged with the murder of the Truesdale negro at Long Bridge, on Cloud's Creex, five miles from Bates burg, and who was sentenced to ten i years at hard labor on pubh'c works J of the county, under a verdict of man? slaughter, made his ecape from the chain gang early Sunday night and no trace of him has yet been found. Postmaster Robbed. *G. W. Fouts, postmaster at River? ton, Ia., nearly lost his life and was robbed of all comfort, according to his letter, which says: "For 20 years I had chronic liver complaint, which led to such a severe case of jaundice that even my Anger nails turned yel? low; when my doctor prescribed Electric Bitters, which cured me and lui ve kept me weil for ll years." Sure cure for biliousness, neuralgia, weakness and all stomach, liver, kid? ney and bladder derangements. A wonderful tonic. At Sibert's Drus i HOW CHINCHILLAS AHE CAUGHT. Little Fur Bearing Animal That is in Danger of Extermination. The chinchilla is one of the very few really valuable fur bearing- ani? mals found in South America. Its range is extremely limited, the little burrowing animal being discernible in numbers only along the higher "Ititudes of the Andes Mountains in Chili and Bolivia, where it has hith? erto fairly abounded but is now in danger of early extinction owing to the fashionable favor accorded the fur and the consequent high price of ith? skins. As the officials of Chili and Bolivia realize the importance to those coun? tries of perpetuating the chinchilla, laws for its protection are being pass? ed. As the little creature inhabits iwild and rugged districts, in in? stances almost inaccessible to any save those familiar with the Rocky Mountain trails, the chinchilla hun? ter conducts his operations quite fear? less of the game wardens. Unless the demand of the fur wear? er and values decline materially we may expect to witness the extermina? tion of the chinchilla within a brief period, says the Fur News. Should ?this undesirable result be approxi? mated, the demand would cease for ?lack of supply and the chinchilla iwould doubtless again multiply rap? idly. During the season 1905 the collec? tion reached the total in round n?m hers, of 218,000 skins, of which all but about 58,000 skins secured for Paris were shipped to New York for local consumption or distribution abroad. The season for catching the chin? chilla runs from January to June and is industriously conducted. The chinchilla hunters go out in parties of three or four accompanied by half a dozen well trained dogs and nothing else, no guns or traps being used, as trapping is an industry as yet un? known in that part of the country. The dogs, resembling our fox terrier, .catch and deftly kill them. These dogs are so well trained in this work of destruction that they rarely injure the fur to an appreciable extent. As soon as the chinchillas have been despatched by the dogs the men remove the skins and rather crudely stretch them to dry. After a hunt from four to six weeks hunters and dogs make their way back to the coast with their catch, and the men dispose of the skins, from three to (fifteen dozen according to luck, and after a few days spent in town in riotous living the hunters go off on nother expedition to some other part of the mountain where they are rea^. sonably sure chinchillas abound and a golden harvest awaits their gather? ing. *Not if as Rich as Rockefeller. *If you had all the wealth of Rock? efeller, the Standard Oil magnate, you could not buy a better med? icine for bowel complaints than Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.

The bell which rung to notify the veterans that dinner was served, when they dined with the Daughters of the Confederacy on Memorial Day, has quite a history. It was dropped by the yankees and picked up at Flint Hill near Manassas by Norman Reed, a colored man belonging to Major John J. Mc? iver of Society Hill, and who went into the army with Major Mciver as his body-servant and mess cook. After Unking the bell Norman used it to call the mess together at meal times, and brought it home after the surrender, carefully preserv? ing it as a ?reat treasurer. He asked to be allowed to ring it himself on this occasion, and brought it to the court house where the dinner was served on Thursday morning, beauti? fully polished and ready for use again. Maj. Mciver was in Co. L, of 8 th regiment and if any of the members of his mess in that company were din? ing with the Veterans on the 10th of Maj% 1906, the sound of the big cop? per bell must have roused many mem? ories of other days and scenes.-Dar? lington News.
