|| The people living along the old Augusta
road are displaying the proper
spirit. By popular subscription and
M wort: they propose to clay the road
for a distance of five miles?from Mr.
y Willie Taylor's place to the Lexington
county fair grounds. In this undertaking
they ask the aid of all who
feel interest in; the welfare of our
pubiieioadd. Let other sections fol*.
lowc&it.
We are pleased to note that business
generally has improved. Our mer?
chants have been quite busy for the
.*z. * "
. 2 past tew days and they are in much
better spirits. We haye anticipated
all along that the spring trade would
impgpve and fully meet the wishes oi
the merchants. The evidence has
already loomed up. Traveling men
feelihetter and are receiving orders
for future shipment. The railroads,
too,;\are realizing improvement in
||v freight receipts, while the travel is on
the increase. We hope the money
panic is now a thing of the past.
:;v-'
Iv is indeed a shame and disgrace
that the roads of Lexington county
are in such a deplorable condition.
We have never heard so much comi'
plaint
about "bad roads." Frqpi every
section of the county these complaints
are coming in. Lexington is
amply able to have as good roads as
- any county in the State, but she has
ther#orst.-? The people are looking to
out-members of the legislature for
relief- Assist the chaingang, which
has done some admirable work, with
supgieipentary funds, and work the
roads by taxation.
View Circuit to Be Cre&ted.
The substitute bill creating an eleventh
judicial circuit passed the house
unanimously last night after Mr. F.
rt. Tnmnkina had exDlained the ne
. cessity for more courts in Richland
in order to relieve the congested condition
of the criminal and civil dockets.
Mr. Tompkins read the letters
from the Richland and Lexington bar
associations, telling of the need for
clearing the dockets.
^he following changes Jlwill be
made:
The Fifth circuit will be composed
of &e counties of Kershaw and jRichland.
The Eleventh circuit will be composed
of the counties of Lexington,
Saluda and Edgefield.
Nothing herein shall affect the existing
arrangements for the spring
terms of court for the year 1908.
Reports all False.
This morning Mr. D. H. Shannon
asked The Record to inform the public
that all reports and rumors that
his sister, Miss Sallie, who ^disappeared
from home several weeks ago, has
been found are false. Mr. Snannou
nor none of the family know anything
of the young lady, and would be
glad to redeive any news whatever
concerning her.?Record, Feb. 3.

Daring Descent to Get a View of an
Osprey's Nest.
1 Now commenced my work, and I descended
on my rope to terrace after
terrace, forcing my way through thick
rows of prickly pear, a most painful
operation. And now we found that
there was nobody below to signal us
- where the nest lay. The inevitable re?suit
was that after descending' more
than 100 feet I had to signal to be
/hauled up again,, always through the
prickly pear. Again did I descend,
and again did I fail to find the nest
On the third occasion I reached a reerr>r%n
+ r?lifF TlfhflTIM
111 LUC ^ICUC N.UU, *i uvuvv,
unbending my rope and securing it to
a bush for obvious reasons, I made a
cast along a ledge to the south and
reached a point which I identified as
being not far from the nest as seen
from below. So I retraced my steps
and, regaining my rope, was hauled
up for a third time. During this operation
I passed a ledge where a peregrine
falcon was nesting. The old
female swept close around with shrill
cries and eventually alighted on the
sandy shelf of rock within a few feet
of me add, with outspread wings and
every feather standing on end, lowered
her head and screamed furiously.
I have no doubt I was close to her
young, but I had more serious work in
hand, and so I left her alone.
I now made my fourth and last
i descent and found myself immediately,
over the nest, but befor4 I could go
down to it the party handling the rope
had to work their way down toward
1 me,, since therope was too short. Fi-.
nally I reached the nest an enormous
mass of big sticks measuring more
than five feet across and doubtless the
result of many years' work. In It were
two eggs much incubated.' By standing
on a ledge close to the nest and
pressing the camera between my body
and the face of the cliff I was able to
take some long time exposures with
fairly good results. It was near sunset
and the cliff was in deep shadow.
which did not facilitate my task. Between
the 8haly nature of the cliff, the
slippery terraces covered .with loose
soil' and stones and the detestable
prickly pears I never had a jnore unpleasant
or arduous task on a cliff before.
But I have lived to endure worse
experiences, although not so painfully
protracted as were these.
My very curt entry in my diary summarizes
the whole job thus: "Bad shale
cliffs, vertical and dangerous. Height
over sea, 160 feet Top of cliff, 310
feet. The worst bit of rope work I
ever did."
With regard to the prickly pears, it
was many months before the last of
the poisonous spines I had collected in
various parts of my body consented to
come out, and then only after first festering.?London

Disinterested Professional Advice.
"Bring me that beefsteak potpie"?
"Yassah," said the dining car waiter,
listening near by.
"And bring me some of those French
peas"?
"Yassah; but boss, maybe you all
don't know dey's French peas in dat
pie."
"No, I didn't Thanks, George. And
?ah?and?ah, then bring me some po-.
tatoes." '
"Yassah, boss; but maybe you all
v didn't know dey's tatehs, too, in dat
pie."
"No, I didn't. Thanks again, George.
It's mighty nice of you to keep m*i
firwrr* hnri'n<T a Int of stllfP T wouldn't

"Yassah, Ah reckon it's mahty nice o%

Bacteria In Butter.
"Bacteriologists have shown us that
ordinary butter is swarming with
germs," declares Good Health. "A single
teaspoonful of milk generally contains
from 2,000,000 to 10,000,000 germs.
The number may even be much larger
than this. In the removal of cream
from the milk the germs are taken with
it, and in the process of churning the
germs are collected with the fat, so in
the butter we have the concentration
of a large part of the germs contained
in the milk from which the butter was
i derived. So in a pound of butter derived
from twenty pints of milk the
number of bacteria must be almost beyond
estimate. A brief computation
will show that the number of bacteria
contained in a pound of butter might
easily reach the enormous sum of five
, to ten billions."

COiN MOTTOES.
Inscriptions Th^t Were a Joy to tho
. Cynics ar.d Critics.
A collection of coin mottoes gathered
by an Italian student, Amerigo Scarlatti,
was published in Minerva, an
Italian periodical. Scarlatti is of the
opinion that such inscriptions, though
not intended to be cynical, too often
admit of such an interpretation through
| the irresistible habit of the public of
j ignoring the intention of the designer
and applying the motto to the coin itself.
Thus when Charles II., lring of the
two Sicilies, had Engraved on his silver
ducat the Latin words "Unus non
SufScit," meaning "One is not enough,"
nn rAvraftiT>fy
uii uut; nuiiu uxoislcu. v/u iui
that the king referred to a single scepter
and enthusiastically agreed with,
him that one ducat wasn'tr enough for
any one.
On the contrary,, a storm of ironical
opposition was aroused when Louis de
Bourbon, king of Etruria, in the early
part of the last century inscribed "Yideant
Fauperes et Lactentur" on his !
coins. The words mean ''Let the poor '
see and rejoice," and of course every |
one wanted to know why a poor man.
should rejoice at merely seeing a piece
of money.
On the papal coinage of li>73 bearing j
the arms of Gregory XIII. are the J
words "Et Super Hanc Petram" (And I
upon this rock). Of course the pope 1
and the artist who designed\the coin !
meant the words to refer to the papa- , 1
cy, but the evil minded applied them: |
so maliciously to the coin itself tha?. <
the issue was speedily stopped. A s!jqq ']
Vilar opportunity, for .evil tongues was ;
afforded when the/Knights of Malta ' /
coined an issue of dollars with the sign'' 1
of their order, the Maltese cross, and* \
; their motto, "In &oc Signo Miiitamus": 1
' (In this sign we combat). The ribalct \
^affected to take it as a. confession that 1
' with them money was truly tbb sinew j
A# Tt'O t*
it a&?
A Venetian lira dated 1474 has the1
somewhat ambiguous motto "In Tibf
Solo Gloria" (To thee alone the glo-"
-ry). A sequin coined by Cardinal Itez.
gonico in 1744 bears the words "Veni
Lumen Cordium," or "Come, thoulight
of hearts.", Clement XI. issued a coin
with an image of'the Madonna, wfoB^ r'
the legend "Causa Nostrae Laetitiae"
(Cause of our joy), and a Venetian
piece with an allegorical figure of Jus-;
tice, with the words "Nostra in hac
elicitas" (Our happiness in this). All
of these inscriptions were irrevently
diverted by contemporaries from their
true object to the money itself.
TOMORROW'S BIRTHPLACE.
Line In the Pacific Where It Shakes
Hands With Yesterday.
Most people who have read Jules
Verne's "Around the World In Eighty
Days" will remember how narrowly
the traveler missed his bet, having forgotten
that in following the sun from
east to west he had gained one day.
When one crosses the Atlantic from
London to New York he gains rather
more than half an hour each day.
From New York to Chicago another
hour is gained, another to Denver, another
to San Francisco, which is reckoning
time eight hours later than Lon
don and of course the best pare or a
day later than Shanghai and Yokohama.
In crossing the Pacific there
comes a time when the daj- begins,
where yesterday and tomorrow shake
hands and where the traveler is cheated
out of a day in his life.
In mid-Pacific, going west, one skips
from Sunday to Tuesday. Going east
he has one day of the week repeatedtwo
Sundays or Tuesdays, as the case
may be.
The line of the changing day is not
a straight one. The islands in the Pacific
take their time from the continent
with which they trade and from which
they were discovered. Thus the line
of the change zigzags down the Pacific
from south to north, dodging be
tween the islands.
Hence it might easily happen that a
ship which has already skipped a day
would reach an island which clings to
San Francisco time. In such a case it
would be Monday on shore and Tuesday
on the ship.
If the ship's jolly boat were lying at
a wharf, it would be Monday on the
wharf and Tuesday on the boat.
And if a person lives somewhere
near the line he can get a sailboat and
visit yesterday and tomorrow in the
most delightful fashion.

Willie D. Shull.
Mr. Willie D. Shull, one of Lexing- i
ton county's best men, died Jan. 2G, I
1908, and was buried the following
3ay at St. David's church, the funeral
services being conducted by his
pastor, Rev. R. E. Livingston, assisted
by Rev. J. A. Cromer.
Mr. Shull had been in failing health
for several months, but not confined
to his bed quite three weeks. He was
a son of Mr. Daniel Shull and was regarded
as a man of the best integrity
?a man whose life was just what it
shnnld have been.
He will be missed in the church, as
he was one of the officers and was always
ready to lend a helping hand to
every one; the community haft lost a
good man; the wife an affectionate
husband and the children a kind and
loving father. Weep not dear ones?
He's gone to the land where troubles,
cease,
Where all is light and life and peace,
The land where holy angels sing
Eternal praises to their king.
The land where the redeemed will
meet
And worship at the Saviour's feet;
Pay homage to the father, swn,
And holy spirit three in one.
The land where Jesus reigns supreme,
Where all is lovely and serene;
Where peace, sweet peace and joy do
roll,
From Jesus' breast to every soul.
No sickness, sorrow, pain or death;
No throbbing heart, no ( poisnous
breath,
Can enter this fair land of bliss
To mar his perfect happiness.
