The Way to Rest.
To understand how to rest is
of more importance than to
how to work- The latter
can be learned easily; the
it takes years to learn, and some
people never learn the art of
resting. It is simply a change
of I cones and activities Loaf-
may not be resting. Sleep-
is not always resting. g
down for days with nothing to
do is not restful- A change is
needed lo bring into a different
set of faculties and lo turn the
life into a channel. The
man who works hard finds his
best rest in playing hard. The
man burdened with care finds
relief in something that is ac-
yet responsibility.

As the pastor himself remark-

nave a layman to speak from the

preaching at every service. This
opportunity was given in the

are not always appreciated, but

and then you have most
wholesome tobacco produced, with
just enough sweetening to preserve
the mild, juicy, stimulating quality of
the leaf tobacco. Expert tests prove
that this flue cured tobacco, grown
in the famous Piedmont region, re-
quires and takes less sweetening than
any other and has a wholesome,
stimulating, satisfying effect on
chewers.
If the tobacco you are chewing
don't satisfy you more than the mere
habit of expectorating, stop fooling
yourself and chew Schnapps tobacco.

What the Law Makers are Doing.
By a vote of the House

passed the anti-lobbying bill,
which requires all persons inter-
in promoting or opposing
legislation for a compensation to
register their names in a book to
be kept open for public
in the office of the secretary
of State, together with the

Speaker Justice introduced an
important bill to enlarge the
powers of the attorney general
so as to destroy to
put solicitors of the State on
salaries, and to require them
to act as assistants to the
general. Mr. Justice be-
the salary of the solicitor
should be per annum.
In the senate is pending a sub-
bill fixing the
of the State solicitors at
annually; and relieving
them of the fees which they now
receive. This substitute was re-
ported favorably by the commit-
tee on salaries and fees.
There were two prolonged de-
bates in the senate on the bill of
Mr Graham to provide for the
assessment and taxation of shares
of stocks in banks, which had
been reported favorably by the
committee, and the b of Mr.
Polk requiring the sheriff to
provide a list of persons who
have not paid their poll tax,
creating a black list, this
bill also bearing a favorable re-
port.
Several interesting bills affect-
the interests of railroads, in-

were introduced in the sen-
ate-
In the house Representative
submitted a bill to pro-
citizens at public gatherings,
by providing that any person
wearing a hat or headgear of
greater dimensions than in-

shall be deprived of the
of wearing pate coverings
for days and be deemed de-
serving of the censure of the
public.

ACCIDENT WITH GUN.
Boy Loses Part of His Foot.
After school Thursday after-
noon Charles Rountree, John
Martin and some other boys
went out hunting and near
the railroad to watch a train go
by. John Martin reversed his
gun, placed the muzzle on his
foot and clasped his hands across
the stock, thus on the
gun. Charlie Rountree was
standing by with one hand
on the shoulder.
As Charlie was in the of
raising his other hard for
thing the cuff of his coat sleeve
caught the hammer of the gun
and pulled it back far enough to
explode the shell in falling. The
load passed through John's foot
cutting off two and a
of the ball of the foot.
John Martin is a son of Mr. J.
W. Martin, of Bethel township,
and has been boarding here at-
tending the graded school.
Guns are dangerous things for
boys to have, but they do not
seem to realize it even though
warned by accidents.
