Orphan Work day. There is a farnilv of 250 orphan children at the Epworth Orphanage. Columbia, S C., Methodist. There are 250 orphans at the Connie Maxwell Orphanage, Ureen urrknrt Si (' RAntist. T* WM ? 1 Tbere are 250 orphans* at the Tbcrnwell Orphanage. Clinton, S C., Presbyterian. There are 50 orphans at the Church Home, Charleston, SC., Episcopalian. The Lutheran Church Home is at Salem. Va. The Hebrew Home is at Atlanta, Ga. The Koman Catholic Homes are in Charleston, S C. The support and care of all these various denominational institutions, with their large body of fatherless children is a sufficient appeal to every heart. Some years ago it Mas suggested by Rev. Howard Crumley of Atlanta, J Ga., that on the first Saturday and 1 i Sabbath of October, all those who] love children set apart those days for gathering fuods to relieve the needs of the fatherless. On that Saturday, let everybody old and young, rich and poor, devote the day to the Orphanages, each man sending hie gift to the Orphanage he loves the best or that lies nearest his heart. The Georgia scheme worked well. For several years an effort has been made to rouse an equal interest in South Carolina, and Alabama and Florida have also taken it up. In every community some zealous biOther might take up the matter and push it and the day's work! from everybody would go to the orpnans. 1 ms proposition is not in the interest of any oik- orphan- ' age; it is intended for each one to give to tiie orphanage nearest his hear:, (dive Saturday's wages to thej orphans. Gather the proceeds on i the Sabbath and forward to the, institutions above named. It will be sure to reach the right spot, if jlrafts and checks are made out to the name of the institution itself and , provisions shipped to the same, j. We have no doubt that when an1 individual community makes special j request of the railway authorities, I flour and rice and molasses or any other products would tind them! willing to deliver without charge.! Notice that this is simply a statement. Urgent appeals are not necessary. The orphans need help. The institutions are unable to give it, without the backing of the! people. At this season all tbeii j treasuries are greatly depleted. Do not overlook the day. Millions of bottles of Foley's Honey and Tar have been sold without any persoD ever having experienced any other than beneficial re suits from its use for coughs, colds and lung trouble. This is because the genuine Foley's Honey and Tar in the yellow package contains no opiates or other harmful drugs. Guard your health by refusing any but the genuine. W L Wallace. Roy Saul Passes Away. Roy Sauls, aged twenty years, grandson of Mrs Huggins, of the Union hotel, died yesterday afternoon after an illness of only a few days. He was taken sick while at work at Schneck's drug store Tuesday morning and was forced to go home at once. His condition at * . once became alarming and he gradual . ally grew worse until the end came. He was a ongnc youDg man almost 1 at his majority, and would have graduated in pharmacy this year in Atlanta where he had been attending school for the past year. He leaves a mother, one sister and two brothers to mourn his loss. The announcement of the funeral arrangements will not be made until relatives are heard from.?Sentuir}Hecord (Hot Springs, Ark.) i A Sure eiough kitcker.

Many Kingstree people take their lives in their hands b? neglecting the kidneys when they know these " organs need help. Sick kidneys are responsible for a vast amount of suffering and ill health, but there is no need to suffer uor to remain m danger when all diseases and aches and pains due to weak kidneys can be quickly and permanently cured by the use of Doan's Kidney Pills. Here is a Ki.;gstree citizen's recommendation. Mrs W H Carr, E Main Street, KiDgstree, S C., says: "My mother speaks very highly of Doan's Kidney Pills, having used them with the very best of lesults. She suffered a great deal from backache and distressing pains across her loins and kidney regions.The remedies she used did not seem to helpher much and lately while she was visiting me, I procured a box of Doan's Kidney Pills for her at Scott's drug store. She used them as directed and they gave her more relief than anything she had ever tried. Since then she has had no pain of any sort and her kidneys have also been strengthened."

The county is a territorial division that the United States derived from Croat Britain, where the counties correspond to Die provinces or departments of other European countries and in a limited sense to the states of the American Union. An Englishman addresses a letter to "Parkinton, Hants." as wc address a letter to "Columbus, 0.," or "Elmira. N. Y." One state, which derives its ' usages from French and not from English originals, has no counties at all. In Ivouisiana these subdivisions of the state are still called parishes, both officially and in ordinary speech, though they are now divided ' ?1 ""vi 1 ??tcV>/ip d\f 4 lii) imo maiJ^ trai jfai ipireo \ji. chnrch. There are about 3,000 counties in the Union, with an average size of about 1,000 square miles, but this average is enormously exceeded in many instances and is also fre- ! quently fallen below. Leaving out certain great unsettled counties in the west, the average county would be about 500 square miles in ex- ! tent. In much of the western part of ' the country the size of the county is regulated mathematically. It consists of sixteen townships, each composed of thirty-six square miles, making 570 square miles in all. In other words, each township is six miles square and each county twenty-four miles square. In Iowa there arc thirty-nine counties that were formed in this way, each one of which has exactly 570 square miles. Such divisions were possible %i the newer west, where these min > political divisions were made in adva of settlement. T il.A a. ft Ant in t r \r 1 i i <? Ill I lie ujuci nan? u& u mmiiiuj territorial arrangemcL s were largely accidental. The largest county in the United States is Yavapai county, Ariz., which ha? an area of almost 30,000 square miles. Nine states of flic T"nion are each smaller than this ntv. Jt is larger that the whole Vest Virginia jjpd almost as * as Soutli Carolina. .lie sixteen counties of Montana average a greater size than the state 01 Massachusetts. Among the other groat counties of the Union are San Jlernardino end San Ihego. in California, wjiirh are not only vast regions, but eontain a great productive territory; Humboldt and Lincoln counties, in Nevada, which are only sparsely populated, and Lincoln county, N. M., which bills fair in time to have a large population. Although the New England states are small, the average size of the counties is greater than in most of the middle, western and southern states. Worcester county, in Massachusetts, is an example of an east ern county mat is ai me same mm; large in area and very populous. It! is larger than the adjoining state of j Rhode Island. The smallest etate in the Union ha6 the smallest county as well, j Bristol county, R. I., has only twenty-five square miles. At once place, it is not more than two miles in breadth.?New York Tribune. 8un and Earth. The sun's greatest distance from the earth, about July 1, i6 nearly 94.000,000 miles; his least, about Jan. 1, rather less than 91,000,000 miles; his mean distance is about 92,333,000 miles. It may serve to give some idea of the vaetnese of this distance to say that a ball fired from a thirteen inch gun at the sun i would require thirteen years to, reach its mark, supposing its veloci-; ty to remain unchanged throughout the journey. The sun'6 diameter is O^A AAA AvAAjwlmiT tl\o AQrftl'fl I ouVjVW uxucrr, wvctuiiig v* * about 109 times. The sun exceeds the earth in surface 11,750 times and in volume 1,260,000 times. French and English Teste*. How far does the great "healthy British public" like to see exhibitions of the horrible ? Certainly not like the French, for, although "Pars has abolished the publicity of the morgue, a French company like the Grand Guignol can go on year after year, and French newspapers will publish pictures of the corpses and all that sort of thing as English newspapers would not dare to do.

'Inhere is said to be a way to filch from a beehive all its honey and yet avoid being stung. All you have to do is to hold your breath. It is simple and easv enough, and the only reason it has not been tried more often is that few people know it. Even the bullet-like hornet cannot injure you, it i6 asserted, if you refrain from breathing for a moment. In this condition you may even pick him up and watch his stinging apparatus vainly working in the futile attempt to puncture your skin.

In tbe early part of the last century there lived in an old New England town a Mr. Church, who, in the course of his pilgrimage through this vale of tears, was bereft of four wives, all of whom were buried in tbe same lot In bis old age It became necessary to remove the bodies to a aew cemetery. This melancholy task the much bereaved widower undertook himself, but In the process the bones of the la mented quartet became hopelessly mixed. Priding: himself on possession of a New England conscience, Mr. Church would not, under the painful circumstances, permit the U6e of the original headstones, but procured new ones, one of which bore the following inscription: "Here lies Hannah Church and probably a portion of Emily." Another: "Sacred to the memory of Emily Church, who seems to be mixed with Matilda." Then followed these lines: Stranger, pauae and drop a tear. For Emily Church lies buried here. Mixed In eome perplexing manner With Mary, Matilda and probably Hannah. ? Philadelphia Ledger. Quick Relief for Asfbraa Sufferers.
