Brief Mention ol Sonic of tho First Settlers at thc District Court House. Old Dickens, Juno ft.-Editors Koowee Courier: Among tho earlier settlers of Old IMckens the name of Robt. F. Mor gan deserves mention. Ho kopt tho first hotel here, and served for many years as Deputy Sherill' and constable with great credit, to himself and to tho advantage of his country. Hi! was a remarkable man, plain and unassuming in his manner: every word bo said was full of sound judgment and good advice. Ho opposed secession, like B. F. Perry and others, but when the time came ho woie the gray, survived tho war and died a few years ago, leaving considerable prop erty and a number of children, all of whom are doing well. Among them aro Frank and Joff, prominent merchants of Centra', S. C., and J. I)., a most success ful business man of Seneca, Mr. Mor gan seems to have foreseen the results of tho war, and, being a slave holder, wistdy sold his negroes and invested tho proceeds in valuable lands in Coonee and IMckens, which ho loft to his? chil dren, aggrogatiug in value about $20,000. This large estate was peacefully and amicably divided among nine heirs, by themselves, without tho expenditure of any part of tho same for Court costs, lawyers' fees, etc., all in pursuance of the advice of their venerated father. There was Hubert Knox, a most wor thy citizen and for a long time jailor of thc old District. Ho was an old man at tho beginning of tho war and the father of John and .lames Knox, both of whom were killed in that bloody strife. Arthur and Harrison, two younger sons, died since tho war. Mrs. Catharine Hoggs, widow of Mon roe Hoggs, deceased, now of Xowry, S. (!., and Mrs. lloyd, wife of Maj. .lames Ii. lloyd, of Ocoiiee, are his daughters. There, was a younger son, Benjamin, now deceased, who is survived by his widow and several children. In speaking of Major lloyd it should bo said he is one of the oldest and most honored citizens of this section, but is now in feeble health calmly awaiting the (dose of a useful and ll oil or od life. Ile was seriously injured about one year ago by an accident on'the Hine Hidge Hallway and has never re covered. Ho lias SufTored muon, but en dures it all with that Christian fortitude for willoh bo is well known. In 1805 ho served as a member of the Constitutional Convention which was known as tho "White Man's Convention." Tho other delegates from IMckens 1 list rio t ( I believe) wore the lion. Rd mond Ilorndou, Dr. I,. Ii. .Johnson and Alexander Bryce, Sr. The constitution adopted by this respect able convention was nover ratified by Congress. The next state Convention, which met. in 1808, was known aH thu "King Streaked and Striped Convention," and their work hoing less distasteful to the Federal Con gress, was approved. Madison Hunnicutt, deceased, is re membered by foi mer residents of Old Piokens as n good man and prosperous farmer. Ho was the father of Warren and Thomas Hunnicutt, both useful citizens of Coonee, and .loo Berry, also a citizen of OcoilOO, farmer and minister of tho Gospel. Tho war record of all is most honorable. William John, another son, made a good sold I or and W.IH an excellent man. it will be remembered that ho was the victim of the saddest tragedy over emu'cd in Coonee county. Returning pe, u cf ally lo his homo from Walhalla, ho was w aylaid in the darkness of the night and foully murdered, and his little son Newell beaten to insensi bility. Hy this fiendish deed a worthy woman and an interesting family of bright children were bereft of husband and father. They are all living save one, and have succeeded well in tho cruol battle of life, being sustained by Him who assures us that Ile is always "a husband to tho widow and a father to tho fatherless." Tho oldest son, J. Breckenridge, for many years prominent in railroad circles in Florida, deserves high commendation for filial devotion to his widowed mother and his untiring interest in the care and education of his orphan brothers and sisters. For such conduct there in an eternal reward "more precious than gold find moro durable than marble." c. International Sunday School Association.

Something ot the Methods ot Raising and Caring tor tho Silk Worm. We find valuable information about tl.id revived Industry in the agricultural report* from WaoblDgtou, and as we try to "Lend a Hand" to our neighbors we will give them the benefit through our valuable county paper. The food used is mulberry and osage orange leaves. The best food is the inorus alba and rculticaulus. The com mon wild mulberry eau be used. Let tuce loaves oan bo used if tho worms hatch out before the loaves como out ou tho mulberry trees. The wm ms extract tho juico while young; later they eat most of tho loaf. They feed best from 5 to 0 a. m. and 10 to ll p. m. No set rulo is given to feod thora, but nover let thora get hungry, Pluok the leavos for tho morning food in tho aftornoou bofore, as the dew or damp leaves cause oholora. Caro should bo takou with thom at first in feeding. Silk moths exist in four states-oggs or scod, larva, chrysalis, and adults or imago. Tho eggs aro round and ro Honiblo turnip sood, aud are . placed on paper. Wh?O your eggs como don't open tho packago until you are ready to lot thom hatch out. Tho worm comoB from eggs, black iu color, scarcoly an ci" h I ti of au inch long, covorod with long hair, with a shiny DOBO, sixteen logs. As thoy aro hatched placo thom on a tray with paper or cloth on it. Put tho worniH to eating at ouco. Tho room must have plenty of frosh air, but koop it an oven temperature. No tobacco .?.moke must ho allowed in tho roora. Tho worms can bo raised in a bcd room or any room convenient to you. Keep thom away from ants, bees and rats. If carbolic acid is placed on edges of tray, or trays washed with carbolio acid, it will keep off disease Tho worm is so small at first caro should ho takon to koop from losing thora. Count each day tho worms. A magnifying glass will aid you in Booing tlio infant worms, and when thoy aro molting they look as dead, but with tho glass you can tell thoy aro alivo. Tho winnis havo four molting seasons or sickness. At each molt it sheds tho skin. Periods between these molts aro called agos, being livo in number. When tho worra molts it -oases eal ing, grows lighter In color, fastens itself (Irmly by ten prologs, especially the last two, to sonic object, holding its hoad up. Tho rest of its body remains in a torpid state, weak aud feeble. It gains strength by resting and then goes to work eating, apparently to make up lost timo. When tho worm is llftoon days old it is three quarters of an inch, and when fully grown is tinco inches long. Since it began to molt it is a beautiful cream. When grown tho worm is ready to spin its cocoon. It 1< sos its appetite, shrinks nearly an inch, grows nearly Iranoparcnt, becomes restless, moves its hoad from sifle to side, throwing out silken threads. Tho silk is elaborated in semi-fluid con ditions in two long convoluted vessels or glands between tho prolegs and hoad, ono upon each sido of tho alimentary canal. As these vessels appear tho head grows moro Blender and dually unites within tho spinneret, a small orilleo below tho mouth, from which tho silk issues in a glutinous state, apparently in single threads. Tbe worm seeks a quiet corner, and throwing out guy lines in sovoral direc tions, Anally suspends itsolf among them and forms its cocoons. Worms aro placed in paper tubes or bundles of straw to make C0COOUH on. Tho cocoon is completo in three days. Ir you wish to uso tho silk tho uhrysalis must ho choked in cocoon. This can ho dono hy placing them in hot sun for throe days, from niuo to four o'clock. It is best for now silk raisers to clioko thom iu tho sun. As they will injure, tho silk is often ruined hy heal ed ovens, unless tho raiser understands tho steam hcator pro cess. If tho silk worm eggs aro wanted, let i he chrysalis hurst out of cocoon; tho chrysalis is now a moth. The moth is oream in color. They have no mouths, but eyes, which is just tho reverso of tho worm. From tho time it begins to spin until tlie moth dies it takes no nourish ment. Soon after the moths mate tho OggS are laid, and in eight days thu moth dies. One mot li lays three to four hundred eggs. Silk culture is an ideal work for young ladies, and those who take it .in must re solve to havo perseverance ami patience. The ones who wish to raise silk in tho futuro should this fall sot out mulberry trees, as tho trees should bo sovoral years old before tho leaves aro used. Havo one row of hedges for this year and ono for tlio noxt. Don't uso tho leaves from tho trees for two years, as it will kill them. Mrs. Martha Cary, Mrs. Samuel Held, Mrs. Gaston, Mrs. Rebecca Vernor Shelor and Mrs. Elisabeth Martin wero noted silk raisers when the silk industry "was in flower" hero in 1840. Mrs. Samuel Reid's silk was much ad mired in Charleston. Mrs. R. w. Sbolor, adaughtor of Mrs. Reid, has silk mado hy her mother that received a gold medal at sovoral fairs. Wo havo a glove made hy Mrs. Rebecca Sbolor in 1827 that is well preserved and shows the quality of silk made from wild mulberries as silk worm food. Wo were delightfully entertained ono afternoon last summer by Mrs. Kli/.aheth Martin on silk culture and were shown a sample of cloth mado hy hor. All of those ladies aro living except Mrs. Shelor and Mrs. Reid, and they will gladly tell us of the worms, their habits and tho success achieved with thom. Now let us, as the women of Oconeo, push this industry and invito men to build silk mills here, where our silk can he made at homo and our women make a littlo spending money each year. Let us, tho young ladies of Oconeo, say with thc samo pride as our mothers did when they woro tho homespun dress, that our silk drcHsns aro mado by tho women of Oconoo. Maiyo Rohecca Sbolor. Value of the Exposition. Charleston, S..C, Juno 0.-While tho stockholders in tho South Carolina Inter state and West Indian Exposition will not be paid anything on their contribu tions, statistics gathered hy tho newspa pers hero indicate that all branches of business flourished during the six months tho show was on. Retail merchant? re port that their trade increased noarly 100 per cent and every hotel and boarding honso establishment coined money, tho amounts in most instances running far into tho thousands. A statement made recently by tho Con solidated Railway Company showr. that this concern cleared $100,000 not profit in six months, after expending thousands of dollars in building now linos and in electrical equipment. When these facts aro considered, tho business people begin to appreciate the value of tho exposition, and they still figuro on what might havo boen liad tho attendanco como up to expectations. Very few reports havo been mado of losses incurred in any entorpriso estab lished for tho show season. -. A Conviction for Violation ol Game Law. Tho Western Carolina (?arno Associa tion, with headquarters at Greenville, has the honor of bringing to justico tlio (irst violator of tho gamo laws who has hoon convicted in this State in many yoars.

Riohard olney, of Massa chusetts, as a candidate of tho Demo cratic party for Prosidont two years boneo, and Mr. Olnoy was invited to visit Memphis at his convonionco to ad dress tho people Of Tennessee on "The Political Conditions of the Ilepublio To-day." CHAPTER X. BIMMEDIATELY after lier's dis appearance from the drawing roora, Arnold paced tho floor con tinually for quite a while. All hope had vanished and no pleasure re mained in lifo for him, as she had entirely forsaken him and ere long, would bo tho wife of another. It appeared to him as though ho could never boar to behold her Prof. Wal lacoo bride. Had he uot been pre sumptuous perhaps he would have been successful in winning her affec tions, but now farther attempts were useless. He had offendod her and her heart had become hardened toward him so she would never for give him. The next thought was of his pistol ; he would end his life, for he felt confident ho would never again be happy. Ile rushed into his private bed-chamber and drew a pistol from tho table drawer, then offered a brief prayer, as ho placed it to his breast an,, sprang tho triggor and held bis hands upward, as he fell to tho floor. Tho report from tho pistol was audible to Mrs. Edrones and she rushed excitedly into his apartment.. Thero she found bim, quito still upon the floor, tho deadly weapon clinched in his right hand and bis lips pressed tightly together. No sign of lifo was observed in tho rigid form before her. An ugly wound was on bis bosom from which tho blood gushed rapidly, causing the room to appear a crimson pool. His eyes were closed and his face deathly pale. A melancholy expres sion bad settled o'er his countenance. "O, my dear boy ! Why should you commit so rash an act; just in the primo of lifo and with prospects of a happy future before you ? O, Arnold, my only son, it appears to me that your death will crush my heart ! My entire affections were wrapt in you, tho pride of my life, and I cannot realize that death bas deprived mc of your presence for ever." Mrs. Edrones then pressed her lips to bis cold brow. Ere long the entire household was astir, and Her entered tho apartment for a moment, with slow and measured tread. She east ono glance at the poor boy be fore ber and her face was ghastly white. Unshed tears were in her eyes. Suddenly she perceived a missive on the table and at once left the room to read its contents. It contained these simple words : "For ray darling Her : When you read this, little sweetheart, I shall bo reaping my reward, but I could not depart this life satisfied without bidding you adieu and ?ending a plea for pardon on account of my rudeness to you. I hope you will forgive my presumptuousness, but, believe me, Her, only my devoted love for you prompted me to thus offend you. I have loved you since the day I saw you, when we were tots. (), Her! you will never know the sincerity of my affections for you. I hoped to win you, though you offered me no encouragement. My life has been spent in vain and there is nothing pleasant to cause me to desire to remain on earth, for I can ne'er bo happy again ; therefore die in 'despair. Farewell, my precious one. May you and your Irby bo happy together, for, ero long, you will be united by the holy bonds of matrimony. I trust God's richest blessings will abide with you and yours and you may enjoy a long lifo of happiness and prosperity. My last desire is, that you will, in your extreme joy, frequently think of your devoted dead lover and brother, "Arnold Edrones." The noto was written by a trombly hand, showing the boy's nervousness, and now and then stained with a tear. Her had no idea that thc trivial occurrence of the night before would terminate in such a horrible crime. She now regretted tho act. HOUSEWORK 'loo much housowork wrecks wo men's nerves. Ami (he constant caro of children, day and night, Is often too trying for even a strong woman. A haggard face tolls the story of the overworked housewife and mother. Deranged menses, loucorrhoa and falling of tho womb result from overwork. Every housewife nooda a remedy to regulate her menses nnd to koop her sensitive female organs in perfect condition. WINE? CARDIN is doing this for thousands of American woman to-day. It cured Mrs. Jones and that is why she writos thia frank letter: Qlendesn?, Ky., Feb. 10, 1901.

She had never before realized ..how her affections were entirely Arnold's, never to be bestowed upon another, try as she might. All hope had van ished with his death. Never before had the truth been revealed so plainly to her as now. Sho sat cold and still with the folded note elinohod between her fingers and was thinking of her departed lover. uO, Arnold, if you only knew of my love for you I would bo happy ! I've caused this. Why did you commit this rash deed ? If you were present now your dying wish should be granted, but alas, too late, too late." Great tears chased each other down her cheeks. Suddenly the glistening of her diamond ring brought the memories of Irby clearly before her mind. "I can never be his wife. My af fections aro buried with Arnold and can never be revived, but as ho has been snatched suddenly from me by tho hand of death, I shall leave tho gayoties of this world, for I caro no moro for them, and my future home shall be in the nunnery. I will depart from .Sunny Side' immediately after Arnold's funeral, and muBt return this ring to its owner at once, for I never wish to east my eyes upon the horrid thing again," and after taking a piece of note paper off the desk, she hurriedly wroto these simple words : "To Prof. Wallace : I return the ring which you gave me before my departure from Winderville. I have no affection to bestow upon you, and will be unable to make you tho wife you deserve, so desire you to con sider our engagement at an end therefore I do not wish to keep the ring. I trust you will soon banish all thoughts of mo from your "mind "Sincerely, Her Stephens. ?'Sunny Side,'August 17, 188U.' She sealed the small missive and placed it upon the table, then en doavored to read ono of the late papers, though her mind was else where. Suddenly her attention was attracted by a paragraph it contained This was it : "Married, at the residence of tho bride's parents, at 110, St. George' Street, in the city of Maylulu, Miss Mamie Manners and Prof. I. Ii. Wal lace, Dr. J. G. Durham officiating Tho bride is one of Maylulu's mos beautiful and highly accomplished young Indies and is loved by all who know her. She will bo missed greatly in tho circle in which sh moved. The groom in tho son of Dr. J. C. Wallace, the president of Winderville Female College, a large and famous instuition, of which he is a professor. Ho is a popular and energetic young man, who wins many friends wherever his lot is cast. Prof. and Mrs. Wallace departed for Winderville immediately after the ceremony was performed, where they will make their future home. We wish for the young couple a long life of happiness and prosperity." lier dashed the paper upon the lloor and cried to herself. "Only Arnold's love was sincere. (), Arnold, my lover." She then swooned and fell to the floor, when tho thought of the evening's events again sprung into her mind. CHAPTER XI. Immediately after Her had fainted Aunt Fanny entered the drawing room in search of something for Mrs. Edrones. Sho remained quite still in astonishment ns she beheld Her before her, entirely unconscious. Her surprise was inexpressible when sho observed the maiden thus. When she had called lier's name repeatedly and received no reply, she seized the rigid form within her arms and on-, tered Mrs. Edrones' bed chamber. A physician was also summoned to lier's assistance and nothing that could reliovo her was withheld. Ero long the swoon had passed, but a fover set in, which appoarod as the begin ning of a long illness. Nono knew the cause of this attack, though every ono maintained his own opinion con cerning the affair. Hut oro long all waa plainly revealed to them, for Her, in her delirium, moaned and groaned and called for Arnold. "(), Arnold ! my love for you is sincere. Why did you end your precious life for me? I do not de serve such affection as you bestowed upon me. Return to your Her and she will grant your dying request." Sh** often cried quito angrily : "1 shall never address you in that] manner again if this is what I obtain in return." She frequently referred to Irby and their broken engagement and her intention to resido in the nur. nery. At times sho imagined sho was on tho lake with Irby, listening to tho story of his love. She once spoko of Irby's marriage, and thoi of Arnold's proposal and her rejec tion. "Arnold, I have sent tho missivo and returned the ring, so nm yours forever." She tossed restlessly and moaned in her pain, remaining thus for weoke Tho physician sat by her bed watch ing the lovely but sad features nt umped npon the pnln faco of lier Stephens ns sho quietly slumbered. "The crisis has passed and when she awakes she will be conscious, and 1 presume she will slowly improve and ere long be restored to her wonted health," said Dr. Elkins, ad dressing Mrs. Edrones. After having enjoyed a long and peaceful rest lier's eyelids slowly un closed, and she gazed about her in search of Mrs. Kd rones, repeating these few words : "O, mama, where is Arnold? Please allow me to obtain one final view of his corpse ere he bas been carried from me forever. This trial will crush my heart ; it appears greater than sorrows assigned to others. But, where am I ?" abe con tinued, sitting erect in bed, but she was quite weak and immediately fell back, upon her couch, entirely ex hausted. Sho glanced about the room, but, observing no one, great tears gath ered in her eyes, as she hid ber face in the pillow and wept bitterly. "O, Her !" oried Arnold, rushing from behind a curtain, where ho had hidden some time previous, unknown to others, for he desired to hoar her first words, when her consciousness returned, but, when her weeping was audible to him, he could not refrain from coming from his hiding plaoe, that she might know that he yet re mained alive, to claim her affections. Ho had been quite ill siuoe the night of the tragical ovent and had been closely confined in his bed chamber during the passing weel a until now. This was the first timo ho bad left his room since tho night of that awful soene. . "This is Arnold. Dry away those tears of unhappiness and allow me to observe you as cheerful as of old. I remain on earth to olaim your affec tions. Po quiet, and when you regain your strength, you shall hear all," continued Arnold, as he gazed into the eyes of the lovoly Her, once melancholy, now happy. "O, Arnold ! Are you really alive ? It appears as a dream. Thank God for sparing you to us all. Please forget tho past and grant me your pardon, and I promise never to doubt you again," and her pleading brown eyes gazed into his bright blue ones as she awaited his reply. "I have nothing to forgive, Her, and trust we shall be dearer friends in the future than ever in tho past for we understand each otber bet ter. I will return to my room, for I fear I have acted imprudent." "There is no necessity for hasten lng a\yay ; remain a little longer." "I would be delighted to comply with your request, but I dare not. Pye bye." And lie hurried from tho room. [To be continued.] AN OLD ADACE SAYS mm. ..A light purse ls a heavy curse*' Sickness makes a light purse. The LIVER ts the seat of nine tenths of all disease.
