The very
Greenville People Ought to HaveT
Quicker Mail Service.
The Reriector has several times
made reference to the schedule on this
branch of the Coast Line and suggesied
that changes could be made which
would give the towns along the Jine a
much better service than they now
have. We see no good reason why the
present schedule of the mail train could
not be materially shoriened both ways
and stl, meke the sameT through con.
nections. The mal ought to reach
Greenville i in the even~ng at least an
hout sooner than at present and could
be thade to do so very easily.
If the Greenville people want a bet-
ter train service they should get togeth-
ler and let the railroad authorities
know what they wish in the matter.
The peopile of Washington took ~stich a
diep as this in a publi¢ meeting ~and the
railroad authorities were very prompt
to comply with theic request for a bet-
ter train service. No doubt our people
will be treated as well if they take some
action in the matiei.

Messrs. H. L. Coward and Travis
Hooker from Greene, have been in
Greenville prespecting for the past
few days and asa result have bought
an interest in the Star Warehouse and
will be associated with Messrs. Roun-
tree & Brown next year in the ware-
house business. ~Tobacconists here
glaaly welcome these young men ~to
our town for they will not only be an
addition to the Star but will be a val-
uable acquisition to the market, hailing
from Greene as they do in the centre
of one of the finest bright tobacco pro-
ducing sections *of the east. The
Greenville iarket can ~safely couut on
increasing its sales in that section, for
these popular young men will bring it.
And thus we have four red-headed
warehousemen now on the Greenville
market. Who can beat it? ,
When I was in Danville a few weeks
ago I was appoached by several export-
ers of leaf tobacco and asked what in-
ducements would be offered them to come
to Greenville andestablish a steinmnery. I
dfiered dll thé chcourdgenvent that I
eould in a justifiable way, and, since I
hare been home I have talkedT with
some of Out people, relative to these
enterprises and every one seemed anx-
ious to get them here. Now here comes
a letterT that medns business which I
publish, in full. withholding . theT namie of

that some one will take hold of the
matter and build these opeople ~a good

~The advent of a stemmery in ( reen-

benefit of it. Besides, it will be adding
another permanent and advantageous
feature to our tobacco interests. Some

_. Mowpay, Marca 16rn, 1896.
It now seems likety that Congress
. will adjourn at a mueh earlier date
than has any previous Congress, in
the case of'a first or long session, for
many years. It has been the rule with
recent Congresses to protract tne first,
| or long, session well into the summer,
«the fifty-third Congress having broken
all records by adjourning late in Sep-
tember, while the fifty-second Congress
adjourned. during its first session at
almost as late a date. Several of the
large appropriation bills are already ~in
upon by both houses and submitted to
oeonference committees. Other bills
~have passed the House and are before
the Senate, while the remaining bills
will come in the House at an early
date. Among the more important. bills
"yet to be acted upon is the naval. ap-
_ propriation Dill. This measure has
been practically committeed,and will no
_ * doubt be reported at an early day. As
~4t will carry with it considerable appro-
priations for new vessels, and an in-
- crease in the regular appropriation for
mainvenancé ot the fleet, it would under
ordinary circumstances have a hard
time; but, in the present temper of
Cong� ess, aroused, a8 that body has
been, by recent international complica-
tions, the naval bill is likely to be
promptly accepted and an early adjourn:
ment made possible.

Something for Nothing.
"
There is certainly more than
merely. poetic justice in the expe-
riences of the many who part with
their hard-earned cash on the
seductive representations of per-
ipatetic swindlers. Whether it
be the bunco man, the portrait
fiend, the greengoods dealer or
the lightning rod shark, it seems
to matter but little. The man
who has a glib tongue, unlimited
assurance and no conscience
whatever starts out upon the
broad and enticing thoroughfares
of this great country and secks
victims in every hamlet and cot-
tage. It might be questioned
whether people who are taken ip
this way deserve sympathy.
from the desire to get something
for less than its actual worth a
laudable enough ambition if ex
ercised in the right direction, but
when it means the promise on
the part of the seller to furnish
some valuable article for a mere
fraction of its accredited value,
thatfact alone Ought to be proof
enough that there is something
wrong in ~the transaction.
It has often been said that
those persons who do not read
the papers are more likely to fall
victims to every designing rascal
thas ochooses to travel about
the highways and byways of the
world, But this is not altogether
true, at least it is not just to say
that only the ignorant and non
readers are caught in this. way
Fairly intelligent persons are led
astray by cupidity and avarice.
They are constantly striving to
get ahead of somebody, to drive
ja good bargain, to overreach
their fellows in some way, and if
they can get posession of some-
thing that looks well on the face
of it and will afford a reasonable
prospect of profit, they are una-
~ble to restrain their eagerness to
make money, whatever the means
may be. It is this class who are
ever on the alert to get some-
thing foras near to nothing as
they can. ,

Pat Could Not Differentiate Two
Pains so Contemporaneous.
Pat came to a dentistTs office
one day with his jaw yery much
swollen from a tooth which he
desired to have pulled. But
when the suffering son of Erin
got into the dentistTs chair and
saw the gleaming forceps, he
positively refused to open his
mouth. ~he dentist hit upon ap
effectual scheme, however. He
got his office boy to jab Pat, with
a pin and when he opened his
mouth to yell he grabbed the
tooth and out it came. :
oTt didnTt hurt as much as you
expected, did it 1� the dentist
asked, smiling at ruse. oWell,

THE FAMILY BATHROOM.
An Indigpensable Adjanct to a Well-
Ordered Household.
It is one of the most surprising things
in the world why people who have the
ordinary comforts of life should build
houses without bathrooms.
The farmer needs the bath much
more than his city neighbor, and could
have it at a small cost. A bathtub-is
not expensive, and with a good force-
pamp and a barrel or two as head
water, can be arranged without the
aid of skilled labor. If the house ~is
already built and there is no room for
the bathtub, it might be put into the
kitchen, or even into the family living
room. A heavy curtain or a strong
sereen could conceal it, and, when not
in use, a cover could be closed down
over it, and it would be quite out of
the way. But a little ingenuity and
work will fix it in fine running order in
any ordinary dwelling.
There are many houses where there
is a range, with hot and cold water,
but no bathtub. This is an omission
that should not be tolerated. A small
tank, with force-pump and drainage,
can be supplied for a very little money,
and if the house is not warm enough
to keep this without freezing, it is
time some measures were taken to in-
eure anti-freezing conditions.
A well-equipped bath-room, with
closet, can be arranged in any dwell-
ing where there is even a tolerable
supply of water. The kitchen sink
can drain through the pipes, the water
from the weekly wash will clear them
vut, and if there is proper ventilation
and a suitable outlet there will be noth-
ing unsanitary in the outfit.
Of course, the more water the better,
but as every house is, or should be.
supplied with a never-failing well, the
rouscle expended in pumping is very
well used in this direction. By all
means have the health, comfort and
safety of the family provided for by
proper and sanitary bathroom and
closet arrangements."N. Y. Ledger.

SEVENTY PIEGANS JUST ALIKE.
In Full War Paint They Marched Into a
~ ~Cave One ut a Time. "
oA member of the Canadian mounted
police, Lieut. McDonough, told me,�
said Capt. Partello at the OfficersT club,
othe following incident of a band ~of
Crees and a solitary Piegan © Indian,
which is novel and interesting. + It oc-
curred about 100 miles from Fort Walsh.
A band of Cree Indians woke up one
siiowy morning to find that about one
dozen. of their choicest ponies had been
runoff during thenight. Pursuit was
soon organized, and within a fewhours
a fresh trail was found in the snow.
After following the trail some 30 miles
it entered a river bottom and headed for
a. wooded island in the middle of the
river. |
oSmoke was seen rising from the
trees, and an opening, which seemed to
be the mouth of a cave, appeared in plain
view,
Piegan, showed up in front of the open-
ing. He was in war paint, and there
was a dog at his heels. Pretty soon the
dog scented the Crees and began growl-
ing and barking.. The Piegan looked
up, glanced a moment about him, and
then instantly entered the cave. In
about ten seconds another Piegan came
around the rocks and also went in; then
another and another and another, there
being but a few seconds between them.
The Crees lay silently in the bushes
watching and counting, until upward of
50 Piegans had come around the rocks
and gone into the cave, and still they
kept coming. What seemed remark-
~able was the fact that all these Indians
were, to all appearances, exactly the
same size, were dressed and painted
alike, each carried a Winchester rifle,
and, most remarkable of all, each one
seemed a little lame in the left foot,
limping slightly.
oThey were a gaudy crowd, and the
Crees counted 70 of them. The super-
stitious Crees naturally concluded that
the evil spirit had something to do with
it, for there was no doubt that there
were 70 Piegan Indians on the island,
who were exactly alike. -
oSo thoroughly were they filled with
the idea that the devil was mixed up
reenforcements arrived, which was in a
few hours, they were reluctant to attack
the island. That night one Cree, less
superstitious. than the rest, crossed
over the ice to investigate. On approach-
ing the supposed cave he was surprised
to find it was no cave at all, but simply
an opening leading some ten feet into
the rock, where it made a turn and came
out on the other side, It required but
a glance to understand what had seemed
so mysterious before. ~There was but
the remnant of a single camp fire ,the
ponies were gone, and not an Indian
was in sight, The apparent presence
of 69 other warriors was. a sharp trick
on the part of the Piegan warrior to de-
\ ceive his enemies and gain time for his |
escape, which he accomplished in good
shape.�"Buffalo Express.
