Her handiwork is now being ad mired and appreciated as never before. It was the writer's privi lege a few days ago to s^e a china plate upon which Miss Miras had painted a perfpct likeness of Na poleon in full uniform. This painting was strikingly beautiful, and nvealed the unmistakable fact that it WPS the product of beav-Mi-born genius. Cadet William Edmunds, of Edg-field, of the freshman class, Clemson, was in towu Saturday having some dental work done,' and paid the Farm and Factory | office a pleasant call.

Sarah Calhoun 8>mouds, was critically iii af ber home in Char leston. Mr Cf.lhouu ?.-it for Char leston on Saturday mom lug, and Mrs. Simonds dinj on Sunday af ternoon. She was in her 70th year, ?fud her long life had been spent io unselfish service. Mrs. Simonds, besides being a conspicuous figure in the social life of Charleston, was id in ti fi >d with many wor!;s of benevolence.

Said a well known bu-iness mon the other day; "It would not hurt you to occasionally mention our business in the paper. It would help to fill un, von know." Yes we nigh* do it. WP haven't th- least id'^a nn earth that it would hurt us, and it would, as be suggests, help to fill up. We might do ill this, but al the same time we do not have to do it unless we feel like it. It would not hurt him, either, to come and say: "Give me a column or a half col umn of space foran advestisemen.t and here is the money for i?."By doing this he would become a de serter to that gran 1 army of deaji? hnad8 who expect tho newspapers to continually note the improve ments they make, by giving them free puffs, and for which they never pay a cent. It is high time for all classes to learn that a newspaper is a business enter prise, the same as a dry goods store or agrocerv. run for a living for its owner. -Ex.

AND $1.00 (?3 ************* IO ii ai h of Kr. R ?J. ?ohnaoa.] Little did tile friend? of Mr. R. J. Johnson think when he last visited Edgefield . several weeke ago that in such a short space of time hw would be numbered among the dead. Accompanied by his daughter, Mrs. Frank West, and step-sou, Mr. B. F. Glanton, he went to the Hopkins hospital in Baltimore about a fortnight ago to submit to a surgical operation. The operation was performed, and apparently Mr. Johnson was doing wei!, but blood poison set in and he suffered intensely until death brought relief on Sunday last. His remains, accompanied by "Mrs. West and Mr. Glanton, reached Edgefield on Monday night. The interment will fake place at Antioch church to-day, Tuesday. Frequently since the news of his death reached Edgefield have we heard this and similar re marks: "Rube Johnson will be greatly missed in his community."' Mr. Johnson was a good business man and'having accumulated con siderable property, he aided many who were in need of financial aid. Possessing sound judgment, his advice was frequently sought by many who lived in the vioinity of his home. Mr. Johnson is survived by a devoted wife and two.daugh ters. RAILWAY MOTOR TALK. E. H. Anderson Gives Interesting Address Before Electrical Engi neers. E. H. Anderson,.'railway motor designer of the General Electric Company talked to the Schenec tady Branch of the American In stitute of Electrical Engineers in the High School Auditorium last night. His remarks were of a purely technical nature. He dis cussed the curvee and calculation of railway motcrs and described the method of getting at the re quirements of a motor from plans of a new road. His talk covered the considerations by which mo tors, are selected. He described a contest between the engineers of the General Electric Company and the ex perts of the Westinghouse Elec trical Company with two cars equipped with" motors of the two rival designs, the outcome of which would determine which company should get the contract for 1800 motors for use on New York railroads, which amounted to several million dollars worth of equipment. He told that it was by the methods whieh he was lay ing before the meeting that the General Electric Company was successful in tho competition. In order to demonstrate his theories more clearly, Mr. Ander soQ us?d charts. After the meet ing had adjourned Mr. Anderson stayed to answer questions. The extr?me cold made the* attend ance small. The foregoing ia copied from the Schenectady (N. Y.) Union, and the Mr. Anderson referred to is a son of Mrs. E. B. Anderson, and a brother of Mrs. W.-L. Duno vant, Mrs. Geo F. Mirna.and Mrs. M. P. Wells. Mr. Anderson ranks among the foremost electri cians of the country, his opinions and statements concerning elec tricity are accepted without ques tion. Such talent as he possesses is at a premium and commands an enormous salary, f?r i-beve that paid to ordirary mortals. We would be glad for the housewives to see ou: large stock of Crockery.
