RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT. Whereas, it hath pleased the great King of Kings to call home into the "Eternal Pilv one of His lovtal and de Toted subjects, the beloved wife of our j esteemed fellow-Sovereign, J. Marion Davis, and Whereas, we realize that her church, the various religious organizations of which she was an active and valuable member, the community in which she spent a noble and useful life, and the bereaved family have suffered an' *T-rcmorj?hlA lnss in her death, and " *v " ' I Whereas, we humbly bow in devour j submission to the divine dictates of a merciful and just Providence, knowing that we cannot now understand i the why of this great affliction, but confident by the infallible promise of the Holy Scriptures that w-hen the 'perfect day is" come, then shall we fully understand, % i.1 Therefore, be it resoivea Dy me| members of Newberry Camp No. 542, IWoodmen of the World, First, that we express our sincere and heartfelt sympathy to Sovereign Davis and his family, and offer them consolation in the blessed words of J the Master: "In my Father's house are m/iny mansions; I go to prepare a place for you/' reminding them of the harpy reunion beyond the grave, in the new Jerusalem , where the loved one now awaits them, Second, that a page of the iCamp !

A King's Library. Frederick the Great employed atcMtects to build a library, but they fought with true professional etiquette over their designs.

R. Richey, Jr., of Laurens and A. E. Padgett of Edgefield a special committee to viitrciv the returns from the second primary election, as prepared by Halcott B. Thomas, acting secretary. When the committee reported, Mr. Richey said that he hud signed the report but could not vote for its adoption. He read a. statement alleging, on information and belief, the use of whiskey and money in favor ofl Mr. Manning. Six members voted against declaring Mr. Mhnning the nominee. Thirty-one members voted in favor of the nomination of Mr. Manning. Those voting against the adoption of the report were: H. C. Summers, Jr., of Anderson, J. R. Dingle of Clarendon, W. R. Richey, Jr., of Laurens, Harry H. Blease of Newberry, J. M. Greer of Union and I. C. Campbell of York. The following is the statement which was read by Mr. Richey: "Mr. Chairman and Members of the State Democratic Executive Committee of South Carolina: "There is only one party in the iS'tate of South Carolina, and this party has adopted the primary method of nominating its officers. In this State a nomination in the primary is equivalent to an election. It is import unt, therefore, that the conduct or primary elections should be free from fraud, coercion and intimidation, so that the supremacy of the white man may continue to be unquestioned without in any event calling the negro into politics. The nominees of the party should have the assurance * J? ~ of all men that they have Deen iainy i:nd honestly nominated. The election should be conducted in such a manner that the great majority of those .who are defeated ^ill be compelled to say, 'We are defeated, but it has been fairly and honestly done.' j Richey Alleges Fraud. "I take it that no Democrat would want to take his nomination if a great majority of the electorate; should honestly believe that he was taking a tainted nomination. I have! here affidavits and lexers from differ-j ent parts of the State, from men of un- j questioned integrity, which set forth that money, whiskey, coercion and; intimidation were used in the primaryj election held on the 12th day of this month, and in several instances that j names were placed on the club rolls J ?? ~-F Tirimorir flTirl that OH I.lie uay ui mc; ^ imuVi boxes were opened before the time provided by law so that a number of men might vote, and that ballots were fraudulently ch\iged, in order to bring about Mr. Manning's nomination for governor.

The Ulease supporters on the committee said that, for the reason set out in the Richey statement, they , would vote aaainst the nomination of ; | Mr. Manning. Several miner contests were ! brought before the committee. It was | charged that the managers had al' lowed a ballot to be taken from the i Estill box in Hampton county which had been voted wrong.

I ~?? . .. ... Harvard Had Nine Men in its urigmai Class of Graduates. The first commencement of Harvard college, the first of the educational institutions of the United States, was held Aug. 9. 1642. Nine young men comprised the first class of graduates. In 1636 the general court of Massachu! setts agreed to give ?400 "toward a sChoale or colledge" and the next year ordered that the Institution be established at "Newetowne." In 1638 John Harvard, a preacher. , died and bequeathed about $700 to the | i college to be built at Newtown. In his j honor the institution was named Har! vard college, while the name of the j town was changed to Cambridge in honor of the great English university, j It is doubtful if the original grant of ?400 was ever actually paid, and in any event the college- project remained in j abeyance until the bequest of Harvard at once initiated the necessary meas! ures. I Thp original fund was added to in | various ways, and much money was i raised by lotteries. Henry Dunster, a Hebrew scholar, was chosen first president. and a class began a course of study in 1G38. and nine graduated in 1642.?St. Louis Post-Dispatch. A Marvel of Insect Mechanism. The sting of a certain Indian fly offers as marked an example of design I in nature as can well be imagined. I When seen through a magnifying glass io fnnnrt tn ha nnmnnspd of three sharp blades folded into one, with their cutting edges outward and running down to one fine point When | the fly inserts this up to the hilt in its victim the three blades fly apart and then it is seen that each inner edge is a beautiful saw, worked by six separate muscles, so that when withdrawn the instrument rips its way out with a gush of blood. But now comes the most curious provision of all. It would not do to fold up these blades with the blood adhering to them, so each blade is provided at its base with a fine brush of hairs growing out of an oil gland, which provides an anti- j septic secretion to keep the blades ; clean. 1 j !

As far back as we are able to j trace flower history, says the National Geographic Magazine, it held an honored place in the flower garden, and when America was settled it was brought along to choer the colonist's austere life and to remind him of the old roof tree across the billowy soa.

T7?-: ?? i j serve not oniy mursaay uui rnuaj j | as well, it being their custom to keep | a second day in connection with practically all the more important Jewish holidays and festivals. This custom on their part grew out of certain complex conditions in the! calendation of early n.tbinical times : and the practice once established, has j been Kept up oy mem, even uiuuga the original reason no longer obtains. I i The Reform Jews observe only the j day seripturully prescribed. The date i o? Rosh Hashannah is the first day of I the 'month of Tishri i.md the New ! Year now to be ushered in, is, acI cording to the traditional Jewish i Calendar the year 5677. Unlike January 1st, Rosh Hashannah has been fully able to'j resist j secularization. It is in form and : spirit a. holy day distinctively?not a | holiday. Solemn services character! ize its observance 'both evening and I mon'ii'ng. It is a time dedicated to ! retrospection, introspection and resoi lutions for the future. The day bears the special designation of Yom ha I j Din or a Day of Judgment, with I I quaint mysticism the old v tradition j j represents the souls of men as being j j on tihis day before tlie divine tribunal a? the annual assizes on high. The great Recording Bookslie open and the individual destinies are set down, but, and this is the significant element, in the conception the award in i . , , . 1 each given o\se must be sealed by the person himself meaning thereby that, though the varying issues of the New- Year proceed from God's provl dence no one's future is determined apart from what he himself is and does. Out of the above conception has grown up the familiar greeting interchanged by Jews on Rosh Hashannah, namely, "leshonah tova tikasevu/' meaning "May you be inscribed for a good year!" An important feature of the ritual of Rosh Hashanah is the blowing of the Shofar or Ram's horn. In ancient days the sounding of this in-; strument was associated with times i of national crisis apa omer amcmu j occasions. There are various fanciful j j explanations of the connection of the j | Shofar with the celebration of Rosh Hashanah. Each of its dominant notes likewise has been given a symbolic significance. As the tones of the Sho1 far are of a peculiarly piercing qual jj? -fVx-w QVmfar mav be i ity tne sounuiug m regarded as a clarion-calT to the con- | science to strive after the higher j life in the New Year. The prominence : according to the ceremony of the sounding of the Shofl.ir during the ser- j vices hi25 made Rosh Hashanah known j as the Yom ha-Teruafy "the day of the Sounding of the iS'hofar." FLUTES OF GOLD. They Have Sweeter Tones Than Those Made of Any Other Material.
