The second word.—“wife.“
The word wife as here used has
reference only to the pure and
good whom God has intended for
man, to be his helpmeet and
true companion; she whom heav-
en lias giv^n him to be his own,
to love, cherish and comfort
through life. Not one whom mere
ceremony and form4 of law have
made a wife, but one whom God
has set apart and designed to be
the wife.

The legislature has said that
the newspapers can not make
contract with the railroads for
advertising and accept anything
but cash as pay. It ought to
have gone further and said that
the farmer should not exchange
his corn for dry goods, his pota-
toes for groceries, his bacon and
lard for shoes, nor his eggs and

The trouble with the life in-

The white citizens of Sumter,
S. C ., have erected a monument
to the memory of an old negro
barber who had lived in that
town for seventy-five years. The
inscription on the monument
tells briefly but eloquently the
story of his 'humble but faithtul
life. It does not disclose to the
thoughtless mind all his worth,
but to him who knows much of
the negro character it tells a
story of simple devotion and ser-
vice that is full of eloquence.
Part of the inscription reads:
He was faithful as a slave and
respected as a freeman.” When
he died, hundreds of his white
frien ls followed his body to the
grave as sincere mourners. There
is a lesson in that man’s life for
the young men and women of his
own. race if they would but heed

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.
Off Tuesday, August 6th, an
election will be held to vote upon
certain proposed amendments to
our State constitution. As a
general rule—and I do not think
the present is an exception to
that rule—it is ;better to vote
against all proposed constitu-
tional amendments. Every pro-
posed amendment appears tocar-
rv with it additional taxation for
the toiling, laboring people to
have to pay. W. A. K.
Have we encountered another
hiatus? It seems that State
Treasurer Sparks is confronted
with a question under the Robert-
son insurance deposit bill which
may prove the undoing "of that
law so far as its effectiveness is i
concerned. The question arose i
quite naturally, and its import-
ance is apparent. It is as to the
acceptability of securities offered
for deposit.
A Texas life insurance com-
pany seeking to comply with the
provisions of the law submitted
some securities. The State treas-
urer has no way of knowing the
worth of the securities offered,
nor does the law provide that he
shall pass upon or question those
first presented. Therefore, if
notes aggregating an amount
large or small are first offered, it
will be the duty ot the State
treasurer to accept them as valid
security and as satisfying the re-
quirements of the Robertson bill,
though the notes may not be.
worth the paper they are written
on, or even far less than their
face value.
The Insurance Commissioner
mionned the State treasurer that
be (the Commissioner) is not
charged with passing on the se-
curities thus tendered, and a
brief study of the law by Attor-
ney General Davidson caused him
to say he could find no provision
for the inspection of the securi-
ties when deposited. It would
be a simple matter, it seems, for
insurance companies having no
scruples and desiring to circum-
vent the Robertson bill to put
anv amount of practically worth-
less notes and other securities on
deposit and comply with the law.
In Section 8 the law says that
depositing companies can ex-
change their securities on deposit
therefor, but that the securities
offered as substitutes must be
passed lipon by the Commissioner
of Insurance, but it says nothing
about the securities first offered.
There would never be any dan-^
ger of companies desiring to ex-
change or substitute valueless or
low-valued securities, once they
passed muster and’ were placec
on deposit in the State treasury,
but they would )et well enough
alone, and do business and com-
ply with the law on paper hardly
worth its weight. Thus the one
safeguard applies too late.
Thus hiatus steps upon the
heels of hiatus, until one is al-
most moved to feel himself to see
whether he is here or not.
It is claimed that other hia-
tuses are found in the anti-pass
law, in that it compels children,
heretofore passed on half fare,
and even infants in arms, to pay
full fare both ways, just as adults
must do; and the provisions
against free telephones renders
it felonious for one person to use
another’s phone. If tfiis last con-
tention is correct.it is a crime for
Mrs. Z to step across the street
to answer or use the phone of
Mrs. A, for which use both the
telephone company and Mrs. Z
could be convicted and impounded.
Unless the legislature “intended
that it should be this way. then
we are contronted by two more
liatuses with horns on them.

If the money, Irritations and disap-

This is the text of a teu word mes-
sage which I received the other night

gram was received by me, and while I

standard of length, then, any person
going anywhere from any station on
any railroad may use the one set form
of telegraphic announcement of ar-

Ordinarily no possible further infor-
mation is necessary in the greatest
railway center In America. The train
number is unchangeable on its own
system. Any railway employee any-
where will identify the train in a mo-
ment. If the recipient of the telegram
wishes to know whether the train is
on time before he starts to the station,
he can learn in a moment over the tel-
ephone by asking about No. 5, aiid in
the query he will have the readier re-
sponse for the reason that his inform-
ant will be grateful for the inquirer’s
succinct knowledge of train operations.

her guests, Misses Mabry and
Whitfield, of Mississippi.
As a hostess Miss Carleton is a
decided success, and her lawn
party proved novel and interest-
ing-. Tables were placed on the
lawn, and amusement in the form
of forty-two was provided, in
which over fifty of the city’s
young people enjoyed themselves.
Delightful refreshments were
served bv- some of the daintiest
little maids imaginable.
After listening to some very

city’s young musicians, the com-
pany departed with many words
of thanks to Miss Carleton and
her many friends for an evening

Pins were introduced in the j six
teentli century.
Then they were costly and highly
prized as gifts.
A pi\per of pins was more acceptable
than a bouquet.
An act was passed in 1543 making it
Illegal to charge more than eightpenee
a thousand for metal pins.
Persons of quality often used pins
made of boxwood, bone and silver,
while the poor put up with wooden
skewers.
In those day husbands were often
surprised at the great amount of mon
ey that went for pins; hence the term
“pin money.”
Not so many years ago the frugal
American housewife was wont to teach
pin economy by teaching her children

He Stretehes Animal Skins Over Plas-

Recently a prominent taxidermist of
St. Louis was taking a party of visit-
ors through h^ establishment. He had

a large collection of birds ;of every
clime al>outvtbe walls.
“Is that stuffed, too?” asked a lady,
indicating the lifelike form of a small
pet dog which sat motionless upon the
hearth.
The taxidermist frowned and return-
ed very indignantly:
“Madam, we do no stuffing here. We
stretch our hides over plaster of pari;
forms. The day of stuffing is past, and
no tip to date establishment does it.”
The party was taken upstairs,
through the rooms where the real taxi-
dermy Is done. They had ex pet ted to
see hides being crammed full, of saw-
dust. shavings and perhaps hair. No
such thing was seen, however, and in
place of this were men and boys mold-
ing out the forms of deer, antelope,
fish and other kinds of animals in the
smooth white plaster. This is done
very much in the same way as the
terra cotta cornices are molded to
grace the corners of buildings. The
hides after going through the cleaning
process are stretched tightly over the
plaster form, which indeed is more
lasting than the old fashioned manner,
of stuffing them.
“Even specimens of fish are treated
in tills manner,” resumed the taxider
mist, “and you may easily see how a
