A GERMAX ROMANCE.
Count Von H?chberg to Work For
Wife, Formerly Shop Girl.
-, New York, Sept. 12.-Count Hans
Ferdinand von H?chberg has sudden?
ly achieved, a certain degree of fame
as well as notoriety by marrying
Louise Carow, the Berlin shop girl.
The ceremony, which was solemnized
at Ossining, X. Y., established the
fact that the nobility of the old world
may on occasions give evidence of
nobility c* " eart, as well as merely
the legal ; mt to a title.
Count von Hochberg, at one time j
playmate of the Crown Prince of.
Germany, and the rightful heir to the
wealthy Duchy of Rohnstock, has re?
nounced all his chances for promo?
tion in the military service of the
Kaiser, as well as-his position in the
German court, in order to save an
obscure shop girl from disgrace. Fur?
thermore, he has given up a princess,
to whom he was engaged to be mar?
ried.
Count von Hochberg was morgan
atically married to Louise Carow j
* some time ago in Berlin, but his par- j
ents succeeded in ' persuading the j
Kaiser to set aside the ceremony. I
Realizing that a stigma would attach
itself to the girl's name, von H?ch?
berg came to America and secured a
if .
position as a chauffeur. He sent for
Miss Carow, now Mme von Hochberg,
and they were again married. Von
H?chberg will continue to live in
America and will try to forget that
he is a nephew of Princess Marie
von Saxe-Weimar, and a cousin of
the Grand Duke Michael von Saxe
Weimar.
WHAT THE SHAH PROPOSES.
vusticc to Re Administered in Ac?
cordance With Sacred Law.
Calcutta, Sept. ll.-Reports from
Teheran state that the Shah's rescript
for a constitution orders the forma?
tion of a national consultative assem?
bly composed of representatives cf all
- - classes, from the princes downward.
The assemblv will advise on the
important state and public affairs,
and will propose reforms conducive
to the welfare of the people and the
country. :
Justice will be administered in ac
cordance jrith the sacred law. The
grand vizer is to draw up the rules
of procedure for the assembly, and
these are to be" approved by the as?
sembly itself.
*Xo one would buy a sailboat with
sails that could not be reefed. There
is always that possibility of a little
tuo much wind that makes a cau?
tious man afraid to go unprovided.
The thinking man, whose stomach
sometimes goes back on him, provides
for his stomach by keeping a bottle
of Kodol for dyspepsia within reach.
Kodo! digests what you eat and re?
stores the stomach to the condition to
properly perform its functions. Sold

A new cotton mill has just been
organized, in Anderson. At a meet?
ing of the stockholders on Monday,
Judge W. F Cox, was elected presi?
dent. The mill will be located at
Calhoun Falls in Abbeville county,
and the corporate name will be "The
Calhoun Mills." Construction will
begin as soon as the material is on
the ground.

Like thousands of others, Mrs. Ora
A. Stephens, of Port Williams, O.,
has learned how to do this. She
writes: "Three bottles of Dr. King's
New Discovery stopped my cough of
two years and cured me of what my
friends thought consumption. O, ifs
grand for throat and lung troubles."

Railroads Ordered to Make Report
On Block Signal Practice and Sig
j naling.
j Washington. Sept. 12-The inter?
state commerce commission made
public an order calling on the rail?
roads of the country for informa?
tion in regard to block-signaling prac?
tice and electrical signalling appli?
ances. The information is asked in
order that the commission might
comply with a joint resolution passed
at the last session of congress. In
the opinion of the commission the
subject is one of the most impor?
tant of the several matters which
were referred to it by congress, and it
has to do with the safety of life and
property in railroad travels. The
questions asked the railroads are
framed on the principles approved by
the American Railroad Association?
and contemplates not only full sta?
tistics as to the practice of all the
large railroads and the present state
of the art generally, but also the
salient facts as to the merits of the
block signal or space interval prin?
ciple of the running of railroad
trains and information as to what
progress is being made in the intro?
duction of improvements.
A Question With Two Sides.
It was suggested some time ago
that something might be done to?
ward mitigating certain peculiar lo?
cal conditions and extraordinary local
temptations to lawlessness by adopt?
ing in the States of the South the
system . of mounted police which has
long been in use in Australia, in the
Canadian Northwest, and in Texas
which has in the last year been estab?
lished in Pennsylvania. Whatever
one's private opinion of the wisdom
of maintaining such constabu?
lary in a settled and presumably civi
lided country; whatever one's indivi?
dual view of the adaption of such an
instrument to the particular situation,
involved-and strong objections have
been urged by leading newspapers in
the South and elsewhere-there are
not waining signs th?.t the experi?
ment is likely to be tried.
In the first place, Texas, whose
Ranger force has long done admira?
ble service in restraining- lawlessness
on the Mexican border and in the cat?
tle country, is. it is said, to be materi?
ally strengthened. This, though the
Mexican border is now admittedly
well.-bchaved and the cattle country
needs less watching than formerly.
The trouble at Brownsville and the
hint of the possible withdrawal of
Federal troops from several posts cn
the Rio Grande would no doubt sug?
gest this increase in the State's own
force of movable and dependable
peace oificers; but it appears further
that the experience which has proved
j the value of the Ragers has encour?
aged the notion that they constitute
an institution for general security not
only worth retaining but w^rth in?
creasing now that the peculiar con?
ditions which brought them into be?
ing have larrely disappeared. For at
the moment ' Texas is certainly not
the least civilized of the States.
In the second place,' there have
been suggestions from Atlanta-a
town characteristically American and
not characteristically Southern
were several flagrant cases of as?
sault by negroes have lately occurred,
that the situation be met by creating
a quite unofficial and extra-legal so?
ciety of citizen regulators. That such
a thing should be suggested argues,
of course, a curious state of mind
a seeming preference for doing things
without warrant of daw. But it also
argues a feeling of the need of a
peace-compelling force which does
not now exist. Such a force, obvious?
ly, a body of State Rangers would
furnish. Equally obviously the Ran?
gers could do al) toward preventing
crime and apprehending desperate
criminals that any regulators could
do-and do it decently and in order,
as the regulators could not.
Therefore the cry of "regulators'"
may be regarded, if you choose, as a
blind groping after a mounted con?
stabulary by law established and by
law controlled, a perfected form of
regulator of which the average Geor
I gian is quite ignorant. To be sure,
The Columbia State points out that a
force such as could reasonably be
maintained could not guard every
lonely by-road and lane. But neither
can the irregular regulator do that.
I Xor does the city policeman guard
j every alley and court. He is not even
j always within call, but he oft cn is.
He may be at any time. So with the
mounted Ranger. The Richmond
Times-Dispatch looks with favor on
the plan, pointing out that preven?
tion of crime, not punishment after?
ward1, is the ytoint to be considered,
and urging that if a State police can
i not do ail. it may do much.
' Clearly it is an interesting ques
I
i tion. Clearly there is much to bc said
i
: ??ii both sidos of it. Clearly tin; prop?
osition bas in it at least one excellent
element. it seeks to introduce law
and order into a situation full, as we
remarked in the beginning of tempt?
ations to the contrary-full also of
practices to thc contrary.-New York
Times.
GREAT PAUPERISM MENACES I
ENGLAND.
Over a, Million-Ono Hundred Forty
Eight Thousand lu London Alone.
London, Sept. ll.-There are near?
ly a million paupers in England and
Wales, excluding Ireland and Scot?
land. The problem of pauperism is
one of the most difficult confronting
the new liberal government.
As the population of England and
Wales is roundly about 34,000.000,
the number of registered paupers
926,741-gives an approximate per?
centage of 27 in 1.G00, or about 1 in
37.
Of the 296,.741 paupers 147,629 are
registered in London. The ratio of i
j pauperism to the total population of
the country grows steadily. The "un
j employed" problem will be more seri
? ous in London next winter than ever
j before.
Parliament has not yet been able
successfully to deal with the general
problem of pauperism, nor with the
specific one of London. It is proba?
ble that Parliament at the forthcom?
ing fall session will be compelled to
adopt some radical measuure to deal
with the menace of poverty-for it
has become a menace to the whole
country.
Radicals hope that in seeking to
mitigate the evil of poverty the un?
just feudal land laws of England will
be reformed.
Many economists attribute all of
the woes of the "submerged tenth" in
England to the present oppressive
/*?
land laws,, which relieve the land
'i :*
lords of their fair proportion of tax
burden of the country, and enable
English and imported millionaires to
maintain vast estates for hunting
purposes, preventing the cultivation
of the land.
A party of seventeen immigrants
from Bolton, England, has xeached
Rock Hill. They have worked ir? the
English mills all their lives and will
probably find the same employment
in this country.
WISE SAYINGS.
They do the best for men who see
the best in men.
The self-centered life is always small
in its circumference.
It takes more than mixed' drinks to
make a good "miser."
It doesn't take a brave deg to bark
at the bones of a lion.
The cure for poverty must come at
{the point of character.
There is no such thing as a scientific
religion without service.
People who live for public approval
often die of private chagrin.
A great deal that we call genius
turn:s out to be plain grinding.
A straight gait is good evidence of
having entered the straight gate.
The historic incarnation is vain
without the actual daily incarnation.
Many a man loses his reputation for
wisdom by trying to give expression to
his looks. /
You cannot reflect the sun of right?
eousness when your face is clouded
with gloom.
Many a woman feeds her children on
pickles and spices and then wonders
where they get their depraved appe?
tites.
Why He Didn't Look.
Senator Hale, apropos of an awk?
ward remark said :
"It reminds me of the conversation
of two ladies at a reception.
"These ladies were strangers to each
other. After a moment's desultory talk
the first said, rather querulously:
" 'I don't know what's the matter
with that tall, blond gentleman over
*here. He was so attentive a while ago,
but he won't look at me now."
" 'Perhaps,' said the other, 'he saw
me come in. He's my husband, you
know.' "
When 3'ou have a cold it is well to
be very careful about usi.?g anything
