Hannibal Beatty, the old negro, whose death was recorded in the last issue of the Enquirer, was buried from the Associate Reformed cLurc'a last Saturday afternoon, in accordance F with his previously expressed wish, and his funeral in some respects was /the most remarkable that has ever / been given to a negro in Yorkville or South Carolina, if not in the Soutfo. Tl.e services were conducted by the Rev. J; L. Oakes, pastor of the Associate Reformed church, of which Han nibal had been the fait'aful servant for for many years, assisted by the Rev. N. S. Smith, pastor of the colored MetJ:odist church, of which the deceased was a member. The attendance included about 400 people, whites and black in about equal numbers, and was about as thoroughly representative a gathering as has ever been seen in Yorkville on a funeral occasion. Officers of the church, the county and members of t!:e bar acted as pallbearers. Tiere were numerous floral tributes from bot!'a white and colored, and whites joined the negroes in laying ' the body away in the grave. The sole significance of this unusual tribute to a negro was the compelling power of character, wort):, faithfulness, as exemplified in a long ^ 1 Vi T-Ton _ llie 01 nUIliUie UUL i-UllCOl SCI >ivt. "Uiinibal was probably the best known negro in York county. He was born FULL OF YEARS A\D H030K a master and mistress who were the best products of ante bellum civilization, and who had no children of their own. He was humble, courteous, alert, intelligent and obliging, and if 'be ever intentionally gave offence to whites or blacks, the circumstance is not of rec ord. He passed tnrougn periods 01 intense racial friction, without ever incurring the suspicion of ill will of either wlhites or blacks, and so far as is known has never been absent from his post of duty except by reason of serious illness. Hannibal was sexton of the Associate Reformed Church of Yorkvill from 1859, and was janitor of the court house from 1874. The pallbearers were as follows: H. G. Brown, sheriff; F. E.

A Column Dedicated to fhey Join the Home rrorvin rr I lrl Q Veiling J iUV* i Of all the love affairs in the wor:d, none can surpass the true lo.e of a big boy for his mother. It is pure and r.nblp honorable to the highest degree ill both. We di not mean merely a dutiful affection. We mean a love that makes a boy gallant and courteous to his mother, saying to everybody plainly that he is fairly in love with her. Next to t.ie love of a husband, nothing so crowns a woman's life wit.:: honor as this second love, this devotion of a son to her. We never yet knew a boy to turn cut bad who began by falling in love with his mother. Any man may fall in love with a fres':1.-faced girl, and the man wi_o is gallant with the girl may cruelly neglect his worn and weary wife, but the boy wao is a lover i /-?f Viic mnfhor in ;pr middle is a i true knight, who will love his wife as mucin in her sere-leafed autumn as he did in the daisied springtime. * * * I Mothers, be patient.

That the planets and the moon have an effect upon the weather on the earth is a common belief. This belief is baseless, for all changes of weather depend upon differences in temperature. Rainfall is due to the accumulation of water in tbe atmosphere. This water can accumulate only by being evaporated from the surface of the earth. And evaporation requires heat. Winds also are due to heat?greater warmth in one place than in another causing the air to rush toward where the warm air is rising. If the moon and the planets could furnish heat they might affect the weather. But the heat they furnish is so infinitesimally small that it is not enough to change the temperature an appreciable fraction of a degree. The amount of beat they send us has actu ally been measured, but it needed t?he most delicately sensitive of instruments to perceive it. Another proof that neither the planets nor the moon have any effect upon our weather is that careful comparisons of the weather with the positions of the planets and the moon show that there is no relation between them. If there 'were we should have the same weather when the planets were in th<i snme nositlon. which is not the case. New York World. Japan's Good Roads. Japan is peculiarly well off in respect of good highways. The Tokaido. which runs from Kioto to Tokyo.' Is over 300 miles in length and. as the writer can testify, is admirably con structed. There is also the Nakasendo. which . is even longer and passes through some of the finest scenery in the world. The reason of' Japan's excellence in the matter of roads is that in the old days, not so very long ago, the daimios, or territorial nobles, had to journey to Tokyo once a year in ordf?r to nav their respects to the sov ereign. They traveled by road, with great retinues, and if the highways were not in perfect condition, feudal justice was meted out to the delinquents.?London Spectator. Good Company.
