Shelby Star. , Another bill introduced by Re presentative Lovelace and which has passed its several readings is that providing for a better methed of selecting jurors. Under the old plan the names of all those com petent to serve were drawn from one box. Frequently this resulted in some townships being better re presented than others in point of numbers. The new plan provides for a jury box for each township, which will euable the commis-siouers-fcJ secure an equal number of jurors from the respective towu ships. 'This would, it seems to us, be an improvement over the presnt plan of drawing the jury, and so far as we can see now, we would be glad to see it put in operation." Jack rabbits are said to be so numerous in the Antelope valley of California that the ranchmen are in despair. The animals are becoming so fierce that they are actually breaking down the fences around the adjacent fields and eating up the crops down to the roots. Not intent with this, they are swarming into the desert towns and invadintr the front yards of the dwellers. The citizens of Lancaster turned out recently and made a roundup. They put a fence across the road between fences surrounding fields on either side, and in a short time drove in and killed with clubs over 500 jack rabbits The people of the valley are considering the advisability of inviting Los An geles to join i'i a general slaugh ter. Thev think several hundred men and boys, on horseback- might de able to kill 40,000 of the pesky cottontails. .--4 In the wreck of Southern Kail way train No. o" at about 2 o'clock Monday morning at Harbin's a block office about fifty miles below (Jreenvills, S.

Don't Spend All Your Earnings. Did you ever see a hoist w ork ing in an old-fashioned treadmill? Always on the go, yet going now here. Always on the move, yet never moving toward a near or far away goal. Many a time you've sympathized with that old horse, and wondered if there was not some way in which he might be released from his toil and incesant tramp, tramp. But circumstances over which neither you nor the horse had any control, kept him to his place and com pelled him to plod on and on. Have you ever stopped to think that the man who spends all the moneyhe earns is like that horse! Have you ever considered that if you are spending all of your money as it comes to you week by week or month by month, in your pay envelope, you are working in a treadmill? Yet you are! At the end of the month you arc no near er the end of your ambitions than you were at the begin niug.; Naturally this does not apply to the man who is paying off each month a percentage of the indebted ness against his house, or creditors who have just accounts against him . But it does apply to the young man who lives to the fufl extent of his salary, and at the end of the month has nothing to show for it except, a couple of hundred cigar stubs, fmyed theatre tickets and worn-out neckties and gloves. It's a good thing for a man to sit down and figure out just how his money goes, and then how money grows, wheu once he begins saving it systematically. Pennies, nickels dimes, quar ters and half dollars take to them selves wings very quickly when they are used for luxuries and the unnecessary things of life. But the same pennies and all the rest, grow rapidly when they are hus banded and properly cared for. John D. Kockerfeller says that the beginning of his fortune came on that day wheu, as a boy hoeing corn at 70 cents a dav, he made the discovery that !."0 put out at per cent interest in a year would have an interest valve equal to the amount of money he could earn in seven days at the rate he was then receiving. Some years ago a father of good reputation looked into the eyes of his first born when the little fellow was six hours old. Theie's noth ing in this world makes a man feel his responsibilities quite so much as his first glances at his first born baby boy. Musing the father said to himself: ''I am not a rich man, I am only a young man on a salary, but I will, God helping me, do this for my boy: To day I will put f21 in the bank for him. Wheu he is one year old I'll put in 20; when he is two I'll put in and so on until he is 21. He began doing it. The 21 years are not up vet. but more than a third of the time is, and having continued all these years the prospect is that he will continue. hen the boy is 21 the father will have placed in the bank for him the nice little nest egg of s?2:l . Andthat, in the bank where it is draw ing 4 per cent, interest compounded semi annually will amount to .S0!.43. That will in.' a line present to hand to the young voter, when he comes to cry, ''There's a man in the house." It will lie a good thing if you, on pay day, young man, will take just as much of that money in the pay envelope as you can spare and put it in some good sayings institu tion and begin letting it grow. Do it every pay day for live years more or less and you'll be astonish ed at the result. Not alone in the results that the money will attain in the way of growth, but better still, in the re sults that the habit ol thrift and economy will bring in your own life. Nothing goes like money when it goes! Nothing grows like money when it grows! D0N7 BE BALD Nearly Anyone May Secure a Splendid Growth of Hair.

An Evanstown club has gone on record in favor of the instruction of girls in the manly art of self defens by the overwhelmingly affirmative vot on the proposition. Resolved. That girls should be taught to box". Mrs Catharne Waugh McCullock, woman justice of the peace introduced the resolution. Aside lrom the im mense advantage accruing to wives in handling their husbands, one member of the club thought that such preparation would bo good training for housework Another sutrirested it would bo beneficial in the event of attacks by hold-up men. One caused murmur of dissent by seeking to amend the resolution to read taught to defend themselves from violence in a ladylike manner. This was voted down. Items from Kelsey. Messrs. T. C.

A 17-monlhs' chase to retrieve the honor which fled when 4,7f0 disappeared from the First Nat ional Bank of Turtle Creek has closed. Thomas Gordon, a negro, formerly janitor of the bank, un der indictment for larceny. brought from Florida to-day will be placed on trial for theft. T. W. Carroll, cashier of the bank at the time the money dis appeareed, although he made re stitution to the bank, never stop ped in his search for the thief When Carroll went to the bank August 16, 1907, and opened the, safe, which bore a timelock, he placed the money in a drawer in counter. At that time only Car roll and Gordon were in the bank. A short time later the money dis appeared. Worry over the loss of the money resulted in a severe illness to Carroll. He made re stitution to the bank. He left Turtle Creek in December, 1907. Last March Carroll again took up the search and. through Betitia Harkradcr, postmistress at Dobson N. C. found Carrie Gordon, wife of the former jani lor. From that time until November last nothing was hoard of Gordon, but finally a telegram was received from Letitia Ilarkrader stating renounce-1 the I'nited States and became President of theContcdcracv. An uouncement of this decision was at the war department today. For fifteen years the question of restoring the name to the historic span has been agitated by southern societies and men from the south. historic in the affairs of the nation. The offorts, however, failed of suc cess until President Roosevelt took a hand and directed the secetary of war to issue proper instructions to the chief of engineers of the army to "take the necessary stept to re store the name of Jefferson Davis as secretary of w ar to the Cabin John Bridge.

The ancients had no knowledge of ptomaines, and evidence points to the fact that most of their re nown as poisoners was achieved by the simplest means. We know that )owdered glass was used with dire effect. Arsenic undoubtedly was a prime favorite with wicked Italian and French court Indies. It should be remembered that until the sec ond quarter of the nineteenth cen tury arsenic could not be identified with certainty in the body of one who died from it. Now it i the most easily recognized of nil poisons. TafTania, the notorious Italian fe male poisoner, used arsenic. She gained large sums of money by the sale of mysterious preparations whicli were merely solutions of For Particulars see JNO. T.

The se were so !d in small vials bearing the image of n saint. To defect the presence of poison an analytical chemist may "-pond many days with test tube, v.Uli glass, reagent and microscope. Kven if death has been caused by a poi son whoe mere smell has boon fa tal, truth will out. and there is more than one poison of this subtle kind. For instance, oil of almonds which is used for making toilet soaps and also for increa-ing the scent of lavender if inhaled suffi ciently causes death by nitrobonzolc poisoning. But the cause can be unerringly ascertained in a postmortem exam ination. And no less certain of de tection are poisons injected by hy podermic syringe. Extraordinary is the power of analysis that modern science has placed in the hands of the chemist, and few subjects are more interest ing than the processes he employs. In the silence and secrecy of the. laboratory manv a dramatic experi mcnt is worked out. Take Marsh's famous test. Hydro gen is. generated in a flask and the susoctod liquid poured in. if ar senic be there the hydrogen seizes on it and forms a gas that wil hum. Now watch flic analyst as he holds a clean porcelain dish against the flame lor a moment. If brown spot appears in the middle that is poison, arsenic or antimo ny; if closo to the flame and on both Rides of it a notched spot it is antimony; if deposited nt a little distanco from the flame it is arsenic. Again, chloride of limo dissolves tho stain of arsenic, but not that 0 antimony. On the other hand, pro- tochloride of tm dissolves tho anti mony, but not tho arsenic. Mistako i8 impossible.
