Dumowujs Department. LOVE BY MAIL. Returning tourists from Paris have brought Information that explains why Mademoiselle Georgetta Dossman, former teacher of French In the Pennsylvania college for Women, Is still Mademoiselle Georgetta Dossman. When she left Pittsburg not long since it was with the expectation of becoming madame, tne wife of a Frenchman, who could pen the most beautiful phrases of love.. The fharriage will not come to pass, and the man who had been let into the preliminaries of the secret wondered greatly until now. Two or three years ago, while reading a French periodical Mademoiselle Dossman was quite incensed over an article that did not meet her views. She wrote a fiery letter to the editor In-chief and posted it off to fans. The editor wrote in return a few brief words and told his correspondent that he had turned her communication over to the membgr of the staff who had penned the article in question. A few days later a communication came from the graceful pen of the opponent. Mademoiselle replied. The journalist speeded an answer. The letters breathed war. These were shown to friends and Interest was aroused. But there came a time when the little instructor grew more reticent over her French mail. The letters came; but the contents were not revealed. It began to be rumored that mademolseire had a sweetheart in Paris, the unknown newspaper correspondent. Finally mademoiselle went to Paris, accompanied by her brother. She was to be married. If all went well and the unknown met her expectations. Since then no hint of matrimony has been breathed in the letters of the little teacher. Instead of wedding cards a few special friends received circulars noting the opening of a pension by Mademoiselle Dossman in the suburbs of Paris for the exposition period. Two members of the Youne Women's Christian association looked up the location and enrolled as guests during their recent sojourn in Paris. "Mademoiselle, what has happened? Is the romance off?" inquired one of these in a curious whisper as she parted from her two weeks ago. Mademoiselle gave a shrug, waved aside her questioner and tragically whispered: "Off, oui; Je found him as deaf as ze post!" WHY HE WOULD NOT DO. The carefully reared young man had left his native village and gone to the - city to find a situation and a career. His acquaintance was small, and because of that he simply went about from place to place seeking whatever Fate might throw in his way. He wanted to get into a wholesale grocery house, and of course he only visited houses in that line. He was almost rudely turned away from the first two or three places; but finally found one where the proprietor received him with courtesy. He stated his case briefly and clearly as he had read in a guidebook to young men starting out in life, and the merchant looked him over. "Um," he said, thoughtfully, "you have had no experience in this Dusiness." "No, sir," responded the applicant, 'but I want to learn it." "Yes, I see. Do you chew tobacco?" "No, sir." Do you smoke?" "No, sir." "Do you play poker?" "No, sir." 'Do you bet on the races?" "No, sir." "Do you drink?" "No, sir." "Do you run around at night?" "No, sir." "Um?er," hesitated the merchant," and you have no experience In this business." "No, sir; but. as I said, I want very much to learn it." "I'm sorry," said the merchant, shaking his head, "but I'm afraid you wont do. You see, your early education has been neglected, and you are handicapped now with so much to learn that the Lord only knows when the business would have a chance. Stay in town a year, and then come In and see me. Good morning." His Free Library.?A Main street second-hand bookstore was the scene of an amusing little comedy the other day. A ragged urchin, who had crept in unnoticed, pulled a dog-eared book with a gilded title of love and adventure from the rack, and, after fingering it for a moment, became Immediately absorbed in its thrilling contents. When the bookseller caught sight of his impecunious visitor, his first impulse was to chase the boy away. On second thought, however, he left the youthful reader to his pleasure.

The Tune the Cow Died Of.?In Scotland and the North of Ireland and in some parts of our own country, the phrase, 'the tune the old cow died of,*' is common in the mouths of the people. The saying originated in this old song: "There was an old man, and he had an old cow, And he had nothing to giver her; So he took out his fiddle and played her a tune? 'Consider, good cow, consider; This is no time of the year for the grass to grow? Consider, good cow, consider; The old cow died of hunger, and when any grotesquely melancholy tune or song is uttered, the North Country people say, "That is the tune the cow died of."?New York Advocate.

Several cases of rather sudden and unaccounted death of cattle have been reported during the year. These deaths have taken place amongst pastured cattle and where there was an Introduction of cattle Into the pasture from the neighborhood. Believing that It was the "Texas Fever" that caused the deaths, we asked Professor Nesorr., veterinary surgeon of Clemson College, to tell the cattle raisers of the state something about this disease. This Is what he says: Clemson College, S. C., Sept. 28. Mr. Chas. Petty, Spartanburg, S. C. Dear Sir?I am In receipt of your letter bearing recent date, and requesting an article on the Texas fever in cattle. Replying will say that you could not have chosen a subject of greater Importance at the present time to cattlemen In the Piedmont section of this state. It is important for two reasons. In the first place it causes serious monetary losses to persons who buy and herd cattle for breeding or feeding purposes. While I have not the definite figures in hand, I am of the opinion that the losses In this state last year from this disease alone, aggregated something near $10,000. Secondly, Southern cattle shippers are quarantined out of the northern markets because southern cattle carry disease to northern stockyards, where serious losses result. Nearly all shipments from this section go to Charleston, Norfolk and Richmond; which are by 'no means the largest or best markets to be found. North Carolina Is very active in securing the release of much of that state from government quarantine and extending the state quarantine against territory lying further south. Unless South Carolina takes hold of this problem in a business way and gets control of the conditions which propagate Texas fever, our cattle may soon be denied admission to all desirable markets north of the state line. All of these things militate against successful and profitable stock raising except for immediate home demands. This disease is now generally known as "Texas fever," because first noted as being produced from Texas. When occurring in northern cattle shipped south It is called"Acclimation fever." It is also known as ' Red-water," "Splenic, or Splenetic Fever," "Southern Cattle F&ver," "Bloody Murrain," "Tick Fever," and many other local appellations. Of course, "cow doctors" call it "hollow horn," "big-gall," "impoction," &c. Texas fever has been recognized as a very fatal disease in some parts of the world for nearly a century. It is said that when John C. Calhoun lived on the Fort Hill estate, cattle purchased from the mountains were never driven down to his farm until winter, for fear they would die of "mountain distemper." But the true character of the disease was not fully studied out until the establishment of the bureau of animal industry at Washington. Several of the state experiment stations and many stock owners have co-operated with this bureau, and the facts developed make this disease about as well understood as malaria in man. To make a long story short, all cattle raisers in the southern states, where cattle ticks are common, acquire immunity from the fever when young, and so never have it any more. Cattle raisers in the north or anywhere else where there are no ticks, never contract the disease until brought into contact with ticks. It is patent to everyone that many disease do not hurt children; but often prove fatal to grown people, as for example measles. Now Texas fever seems to be an extreme in this particular, since a calf may be covered with ticks, have a light case of fever, recover and acquire immunity from it thereafter without the owner even noticing it; while If over a year old they sufTer very much, and in adult cattle the death rate is possibly 75 to 90 per cent. The real cause of the disease is a very minute organism (Protozoan) which infest the red blood cells, and destroys them. It is gotten only through the bite of the common cattle tick (Boophills bovis.)) No ticks, no Texas fever, is an axiom worth remembering. Where ticks are common every year and cattle are "full of 'em" ai all times, the calves become immune and only an occasional case of "murrain" is reported. If carefully studied the above facts lead to two conclusions: First. If cattle have grown up free from ticks, they must be kept free from them or have Texas fever. Second. If raised where ticks are common they may be pastured anywhere, as they are no longer subject to this fever. Since the passage of the stock law in South Carolina, ticks have entirely disappeared in a great part of the Piedmont section; but are nearly always to be found in feeding pens where cattle are brought in from farms and turned together. One cow with ticks may infest a whnlo nnnturo with tViom Tha full ticks drop off, lay eggs, these hatch seed-ticks which get on the other cattle and the non-immunes soon develop the dreaded Texas fever. Anyone can readily recognize this disease after seeing a few cases. A common beginning Is to go down to look after the herd in the evening and find an animal missing. After a search it is found In some obscure corner, standing or lying in the shade, looks droopy, ears flopped down, not chewing, nose dry, high fever, quick pulse, rapid breathing and back arched. Inspection then reveals, maybe, a few full ticks about -the flanks and udder; but most of them will be small. If urination is noticed, the urine is seen to be deeply tinged with blood color and may be almost black. The animal may appear full and grunt from time to time. As the symptoms become more intense staggering is noticed, some going round in a circle. Then the legs seem beyond control, the cow falls, groans, seems to suffer great pain, often followed by convulsions, bellowing and death in great agony. If the dead animal be postmortemed, the lesions are easily seen. The blood is watery, the flesh pale, and the fat on the intestines yellowish. The liver is congested and instead of being brown, is yellow, and the gall bladder distended with a large quantity of bile. The spleen (melt) is much swollen, almost black and friable (rotten.) The bladder is generally more or less filled with urine almost as red as blood. In general the best remedy is to make war on the ticks; but this does not apply unless there is a reasonable hope of getting rid of them in the whole community. About the most convenient way to kill them is to apply with a paint brush a thin coat of cotton seed oil to the parts where the ticks can be seen. A coat of oil on a tick's back 1*111*. iM - 1. " " * iwno hum in a. snuri wmie. nana picning, currying, and occasional doses of sulphur have been used with success. Where a case of the disease has developed, give at once a dose made of one pound of Epsom salts, half dram powdered nux vomica and half dram quinine dissolved in a quart of water. Drench by the mouth. Then give three times a day a powder made of four ounces sodium sulphate and thirty grains quinine, to which add 20 drops tincture aconite root. Keep the animal in a cool place, give plenty of fresh water and a little soft or green food. Extensive experiments in Texas and Missouri show that cattle can be inocculated so as to prevent this disease. Preparations are being made to inocculate a lot of cattle at Clemson college and then expose them to the ticks to see if this remedy is a success. Stock buyers should always keep tick-free and tick-infested cattle separate. Respectfully, G. E. Nesom, State Veterinarian. / pisffllanfous gteading. A MIGHTY MAN.

CHEROKEE?Gaffney- Ledger, October 12: In the court of general session! the case of Cally Perry vs. the Gaflfnej Carpet Manufacturing company, hai been one of absorbing Interest. Th< court room has been pretty well flllec with a crowd that was eager to gei every detail of the case. A large number of witnesses were examined ox both sides. The most interesting wit ness was Prof. J. D. Hird, professor o; chemistry for the city of Washington Prof. Hird entered into an elaborat< explanation of the causes that product certain odors that arise from streami because of decaying vegetation and th< effects of certain analine dyes upon an Imal and vegetable life. He most post tlvely declared that there was no sub stance used in the dye vats of the Gaff ney Carpet Manufacturing company that would produce the odors tha arose from a sample of mud or sam that was placed in evidence whicl came from the branch formerly usee by the Gaffney Carpet Manufacturinj company to carry off its waste watei from the vats. Prof. Hird also testified that the dyes' contained certair properties that were beneficial to healtl Instead of detrimental, as they wer< properties and drugs that were usually kent in druer stores and Drescribed bs physicians every day, and he furthermore said that there could not positive ly arise any bad effects from anything used in the dyes because it was diluted to such an extent that it could noi possibly prove detrimental. Other witnesses testified that they had druni and tasted the water in the differem vats and that no evil effects had arisei from it. Others testified that theii 3tock had drunk from the branch whil< the water was colored and that then had been no evil effects. The plaintifl asked for damages on the ground thai a stream of water running through hit land had been polluted because th< waste from the dye vats had been turned into the stream, thus causing th( water and sand to become colored anc making it unfit for use. Witnesses foi the defendant testified that the discoloration had no effect on the sand whatever, as it became white after drying out and made just as good mortar at If it had never had any colored watei to flow over it. J. C. Jeffries conducted the examination for the defense, and he did it well, leaving no stone unturned to bring out the weak points of the opposition and the strong points of hit 3lde. Mr. Jeffries was assisted by Messrs. T. B. Butler, of this city, and Mr H. J. Haynesworth, of Greenville. Argument was commenced Friday afternoon, when Messrs. Jeffries and Butlei spoke for the defendant, and Mr. W. S Hall for the plaintiff. These gentlemen presented their sides in the strongest possible light. Wednesday morning Mr. Haynesworth spoke ?oi the defendant. His presentation was quiet and unassuming, thorough anc logical. Mr. Sanders closed for th( plaintiff. He made a brilliant effort presenting his side in the most logical manner possible, taking care to refei to The Ledger because it had seen A1 is a public journal to say something ir regard to the case, and intimated thai a. newspaper had no right to exprest Its regrets that such suits should arise He was not severe in his criticism; bul said he thought it unfair to attempt ir this wise to bias the public mind Judge Klugh's charge was not exhaustive. He charged on every count the plaintiff's asked, but refused to charge an several counts the defendant's counsel requested. The case was given tc the jury about 12 o'clock and It was nearly midnight when they announced it was impossible to agree. It is understood that it stood 11 to 1 in fa^or of a verdict in favor of the carpel mill. A mistrial was ordered by the ludge. Wednesday afternoon the case pf Duncan & Sanders vs. I. M. Smith uid J. M. Daniels, suit on account, was tried. The plaintiff was represented by Butler & Osborne and the defendant by J. C. Jeffries. Mr. Jeffries withdrew lis answer and the jury returned a verlict for the full amount sued for, 5105. Wednesday night the case of W. C. rjamenter vs. Luke Corry. et al., was tried. This was a suit in equity. Buter & Osborne and J. E. Webster represented Mr. Carpenter and Mr. J. C. Jeffries represented the other side. Mr. Jeffries demurred on the complaint. The judge overruled the demurrer and -eserved his decision. The case of J. L. Perry vs. The Gaffney Carpet Manufacturing company was called yesterJay morning and lasted the entire day. In this suit Mr. Perry claims damages for the poluting of a spring on his premises caused by the dye stuff of the :arpet mill being emptied into a branch into which the spring empties. It is t*ery much the same kind of a suit that Mr. Cally Perry is pressing. Mr. Perry is represented by Mr. J. B. Bell, and the carpet mills by Messrs. Jeffries, Butler and Haynesworth.

By the use of the most improved Linotype ' typesetting machine we are enabled to ( get out pamphlets and books in a Very short space of time, being able when ? . it is necessary to get out from Fifty to 8 . One Hundred pamphlet pages per week. Our prices for this work as well as on Commercial Work has been greatly re- ~ duced, and we are ready to compete in 1 price with any printing establishment . that does good work, in the state. We . do not do shabby, botchy printing at .. any price, and do not want to put a ' price on any work unless the custo mer desires good work. Shoddy work 7 reflects just as much discredit on the . printer as upon the man who sends it f out, and therefore we do not cater to the trade wanting shoddy printing. If you want fine printing at a low pri-e we are ready to do it. Our stock of unpnnted stationery is very large; but should we not have the special grade of paper or envelopes that you desire ' it will give us pleasure to get it for r you. Remember: OUR PRICES ARE _ 3 THE LOWEST FOR THE BEST ? WORK. Give us your NEXT order. t Law Briefs a specialty.
