Sunday Visiting.
BY LEO.
Visiting on Sunday is a bur
densome evil, and an expensive
one, too. A country woman was
in our house lately, who told us
that they are much afflicted in
this' way ; that on the preceding
Sunday sixteen persons visited
their house, staying for dinner.
in iiv W1W VI nftAw j
j the evil has grown so as to be a
real burden, people living m
towns and villages can now go to
the farm house without hiring a
horse and buggy and inflict them
selves on country families. They
go to the farm house because, as
they think, the farmers have
plenty to eat, for which they pay
no ready cash, the food being
raised on the farm. And thus
the housewife is taxed to pre
pare food for her visitors. Even
if the food did cost nothing( which
is not true) the labor in prepar
ing it is burdensome. The far
mer's wife has to work hard on
every week day, and is entitled
to her Sunday rest. This she is
cheated of by the thoughtless
Sunday visitors a real cruelty.
Home keepers in the cities are
not so afflicted. The town peo-
w v pie at times make Sunday after
noon calls, but they seldom take
their families to dine on Sunday
with a neighbor. It is different
in the country. People there go
to eat, and to eat plenteously,
ti ana ottentimes to stay ior two
square meals. We call . this an
tiiTi 1 on avnAncnm anil Vm vrl an
some evil.
What is the remedy? There
4 arVtwo effectual remedies. First,
do not go visiting on Sunday your
self. If you go not yourself on
that day other people will quit
coming to you. We lived on the
farm, a short distance from Green
ville for several years, but had
no Sunday company, because it
was well known that we never
visited on Sunday. This one sim
ple remedy will prove eff ectiw
in most neighborhoods.
Secondly, go to some place of
public worship every Sunday. If
it be well known that the farm-
ier, his wife and children go to
church on Sunday, it will keep
he Sunday visitors away from
hat home on the Lord's day. A
ady "friend of ours adopted this
remedy and was relieved at once.
t will do it every time.
Country people within a rea-
V sonable distance of a church
should be more regular in attend-
vJ.lvwKfl Tr will not onlv relieve
- aiiwi v -
them of Sunday visitors but give
them something to think about.
Chuveh service on Sunday, if it
be of the right sort, will prove
of great benefit to - life. The
songs, Scripture readings, the
prayers, the sermon will stimu
late thinking, and linger in the
mind during the week days when
engaged in the everyday work.
Farmers are real losers by not
going to church on Sunday. They
mav think that stylish city chur-
(. , -
iXches would hardly welcome till
ers of the soil. It is ' a mistake.
There is not a church in Green
ville that would not heartily wel
come the country folk. There is
plenty of room for them . in all
our city churches, and people and
would . be triad to see
the country folks , flocking in.
Never ' mind the city style in
drpsaintf. Average country folks
(n i are dressed well enough for any
V church in the city. Come not to
display fineries, but to join in
social worship and get yourself
f the dailv routine! It will
pay big. It will torie your life.
It will give you new associates.
It will make you happier. It may
help you to get ready for the e
ternal world toward which all of
us are hastening. And surely it
will rid you of the drudgery of
feasting visitors on Sunday.
No doubt country people love
to meet each other and have
a social good time. That is
all right; but there are other
days than Sunday for such mat
ters. Anyway, the good wife
should have her Sunday rest. It
is said "the Sabbath was made
for man", but it Jooks as if some
people think that it was not made
for woman, especially the coun
try woman. Stop that Sunday
visiting, and give the country
woman a Sunday rest.
The Charming Woman
is not necessarily one of perfect
form and features. Many a plain
woman who could never serve as
an artist's model, possesses those
rare qualities that all the world
admires; neatness, clear eyes,
clean smooth skin and that
sprightliness of step and action
that accompany good health. A
physically weak woman is never
attractive, not even to herself.
Electric Bitters restore weak
women, give strong nerves,
bright eyes, smooth, velvety
skin, beautiful complexion. Guar

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Charges have been filed with
Postmaster General Cortelyou
against the New York Cotton
Exchange by Harvie Jordan and
other members of the Cotton
Growers' Association who claim
that the New York Exchange
has degenerated from a legiti
mate business institution into a
plain gambling concern and that
it no longer has any right to
make use of the mails for the
transaction of its business. This
is a very serious charge and
means a great deal both to the
cotton exchange and the cotton
growing interests of the south.
It is alleged that the Exchange
instead of dealing in ' legitimate
cotton futures handles a grade
of cotton which cannot possibly
be spun, and which is fit only for
making horse collars, cjy?ap mat
tresses and things of that sort.
It is claimed that out of the 8,-
000,000 bales of last year's cotton
crop only 10,000 bales of actual
spot cotton was placed on the
New York Exchange. It is
claimed that the prices quoted
on the Exchange range from $5
to $7.50 less per bale than the
real market price for cotton in
the south, and that the whole
system of trading or gambling
on the Exchange is hurtful to the
legitimate cotton business. It is
asked that Postoffice Inspectors
be appointed to probe the charges
of fraud, and that on their report
will depend whether or not the
New York Exchange is excluded
from using the mails.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission has plunged into an in
vestigation of the block signal
system now in use on the prin
cipal railroads in the United
States, and has begun its work
in Washington with a specific in
vestigation of the recent railroad
wreck at Terra Cotta on the Met
ropolitan branch of the Baltimore
and Ohio, three miles from
Washington, where between for
ty and fifty people were killed,
and nearly seventy severely in
jured. This investigation is the
first in which the federal gov
ernment has taken a direct hand

in probing individual railroad
wrecks. The object is to ascer
tain whether the block signal
system, which is theoretically
perfect, is practically a protec
tion to passengers, and whether
its administration by the rail
roads has become so lax as to
make it a positive source of dan
ger. The railroad men, both of
ficials and minor employes, have
been so well trained in the art of
forgetting things that it is hard
to get any definite information
out of them even on the witness
stand. The investigation of the
Commfssion has so far dragged
excessively, but a statement has
already been issued to Congress
saying that automatic mechan
ical devices for the protection of
railway traffic have been devel
oped to a point where it seems
to the Commission they are well
worth' government investigation,
with a view to forcing their a
doption on the railroads. It is,
therefore, very likely that when
the present investigation is fin
ished the Commission will rec
ommend, and Congress will a
dopt, some law forcing the adop
tion of an efficient block signal
system, possibly the double block,
together with certain mechan
ical safety appliances and will
make their use obligatory upon
the railroads on the same basis
that automatic couplings and
similar safety devices are now
demanded in the construction of
railway cars.
Orders have been issued by the
Secretary of the Interior to all
the land agents of the United
States calling attention to the
decisions which have been ren
dered in the cases of illegaLjten
cing of gracing lands by the im
mense cattle interests of the west.
Hundreds of thousands of acres
have been illegally fenced, keep
ing the smaller cattle men from
the use of range and it is now
ordered that the land agents
shall see to the removal of these
fences and if they are not re
moved by the people who have
put them up, that they shall be
torn down and destroyed.
A Memorable Day.
One of the days we remember
with pleasure, as well as . with
profit to our health, is the one on i

Has Not Quit.
To correct an erroneous impression,
which hasln some manner gained cir
culation outside of Greenville, this pa
per desires to state that Dr. . J. J. Lit
tle has not quit dentistry, nor has he
any intention of severing connection
with dental business at his old offices
in the Winuer Block. Dr. Little has
a
been a very busy man during the past
few weeks with professional duties and
looking after business matters at the
Hamilton House, but from now on he
will be in position to give practically
all of his time to his dental interests.

Couldn't Ruffle Hit Temper.
Quincy Tufts, an old time dealer
in men's furnishings, whose place
of business was in the old Herald
building, on Washington street,
Boston, was celebrated for his ex
treme courtesy in dealing with try
ing customers. On one occasion a,
man whom we will call Mr. A. re
marked on this trait to another
man, whom we will call Mr. B.,
whereupon the latter lai'd a wager
that he could ruffle the temper .of
Mr. Tufts. The wager was accept
ed, and the two repaired to Mr.
Tufts' place of business. Mr. B.
asked to see samples of men's suit
ings. Mr. Tufts produced piece aft
er piece of cloth- until the supply
was exhausted, and Mr. B., select
ing one, said, "I will take just 1
cent's worth of this." - Mr. Tufts
took" a penny from his pocket and,
placing it upon the cloth, with a
piece of chalk drew an outline.upon
the cloth and cut out a piece of it
and with the utmost politeness
handed it to Mr. B. The wager was
