Coin BjciIIs Strenuous and Blecdy War Time. The strenuous and bloody times of the 60's were recalled when someone handed to Judge J. B. Fuller a copper coin picked up in the pine grove beyond Oak Park between First and Second streets, this side of the Georgia Central railroad. * The coin is apparently the exact size of the old United States 2 cent pieces and is evidently of South Carolina origin. On the obverse side is a raised im-. pression of a stately palmetto tree, the coat of arms of the secession state, with an encircling motto above, "No Submission to the North" and "1860" beneath. On the reverse a raised center piece appears representing in agricultural productions "The Wealth of the South," which was emblazoned above a description of which is found below in the words: "Rice, Tobacco, Sugar, Cotton." No 6uch issue of money can be recalled in so far as any one approached can tell. Judge Fuller says that Confederate m soldiers at one time were encamped where the Rosemont Gardens now stand. Whether the coin was dropped by some one of the soldiers there en- [ camped or by some one else, there is xlo means of determining. Jadge Fuller prizes the coin as a relic of great value.?Montgomery, (Ala.) Journal. Vv jH3E3fl^^^^H9^pFnn^^iPH^RggWA' assortment, so yc ways get what i place.

If CHILD BITTEN BY RABID CAT. Abbeville, April IT.?Little Annie Lander, the one-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John It. Blake, of this city, was bitten on the hand on Thursday by a cat iiept about the house. The cat was immediately killed and its heajj sent to Atlanta for examination. A telegram stated that the cat was suffering from hydrophobia. Mr. and Mrs. Blake immediately took the child to Atlanta. The child will re<->pivp treatment at the Pasteur Insti tute. Alive in Her Coffin. Friends and relatives gathered last week at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Harrington, of Orange, Texas, to attend the funeral services over the body of their two-year old daughter. The child had been declared dead, but was not buried for three days owing to the condition of the mother, who was suffering from the shock. When the services began the little tot gaped and wanted "out of the box." She is now on a fair way to recovery from her recent illness. Physicians who declared the child dead .^jpe at a loss to understand the case. HUCKLEBERRY SEED. P. J. Rueker, Columbia, S.

L. ZCcislcr Gilbert, S. C. Dear Sir: Suppose you are growing an acre or two of cabbages; where'li you get your seed? The price of Long Island seed is $2 lb; the Germans send over tons of4'cabbage-seed" oOe lb. Most gardeners buy the German 1 seed; of course, you know they wouldn't pay -$2 for cabbage seeds, ; when they could get it for 50e. And ; that's how people do about every j thing. Careful people buy the smallest J package of each, count out 100 seeds of each, and grow them a week in a t hot-house; then count their plants. | They've got 100 Long Island plants ! and 10 German. i How, do you think, the Long Island { cabbage-seed-growers account for that? ; They'll tell you the German seed is mostly turnip, which looks like cabi bage, but isn't. Why didn't the turnip seed ! grow? The Germans had killed it, baked it. What did they bake it for? Dead seeds tell no tales. : There's a whole business in killed I 9eeds. A dealer can get all the dead j seed he wants, that look like cabbage j and something else; he can mix 'em i with actual seeds, a pound to an ounce, ! and sell you your seeds at whatever j price you like to pay and whatever ! profit he likes to take. The same with paint; you can paint ! with whitewash or paint, poor paint ; or good; you can pay your painters $3 1 a day for brushine it on. But white [ wash is whitewash, poor paint is poor ! paint, and good is good. ! You'd better buy good, and pick out I your good by the number of gallons it j takes to cover a job: least gallons, I best paint ; least gallons, least cost by $5 a gallon; least gallons, most wear, Better buy Long Island seeds, but try 'em first. Better buy Devoe, but try it first. Yours truly, F. W. DEVOE & CO. P. S.?The Kaufmann Drug Co., sells our paint. Notice, Blacksmith.
