Nevertheless perfect pieces of large size are costly, a piece suit able for a large portal costing as much as $75. This stone is preferred for cameos because of its hardness and durability and is suitable for such work owing to the fact that it comes in lay ers of contrasting color, as black and white, black 'and cream or red and white. When the cut figure is sunk in to the stone instead of being raised the cutting is called an intaglio. The cost of these gems is due to the time and skill required in the work. Formerly a small gem might occupy an artist for a year or ""ore, but with modern ap pliances the work can be done much more rapidly. Still the ancient work hears the palm for artistic excellence. The cutting is now done by holding the stone against a revolving drill whose soft steel face is covered with diamond dust. No steel is hard enough to cut the stone. The utmost patience and caution and delicate handling are required, as the slightest slip may be fatal to the work. Curran In the Coffee House. John -Philpot- Curran, the famous Irish lawyer, ranks among the wittiest men the Emerald Isle has ever pro duced. His wit, however, was some times turned against himself by the in tended victim, the following story, tak en from the volume of biographical reminiscences entitled "Mrs. Brook field and Her Circle," furnishing an amusing example of how Curran was once outdone: A brisk young widow in some part of Ireland used to preside at the table of Sc-ffeehouse patronized by Curran. Her- 'name was Honor, and. one day tiherewas. some disputed -charge. Curran 'slyly winkel-: at the .rienZ who happened to be dining witldlMn and proposed. "honor and honesty"" .

Jackson of Elloree and Lawyer Woods of Manning spent a few days last week at Turbeville. The visits of these young men is giving a certain old widower-one of these has beens you know, much anxiety. He is very much interested in the school at Pine Grove, and he has no hankering for these young sports trespassing in these parts. That fellow Jackson has the appearance of a kidnapper and the widower is a keeping a sharp watch to protect the charming teacher. Miss 'Iaude Gregory of this place spent last Sunday at Turbeville. Misses Lily and Eva McElveen spentj a few days down here. The people of this section second Hon. Geo. R. Jones' endorsement of THE TIMES editorial about bonding the county for a new court house.

I see where Captain Bradham wants to make some change in the pensions, omething about reducing certain classes. I must admit from the little I see of it in the papers I do not fully un erstand it.

Editor The Manning Times: Of the many laws that now freigh down the statutes of South Carolina we think the law that was enacted t( prohibit, and does not prohibit th "toting" of concealed weapons is the most ridiculous. At every session of the General As sembly some legislation in the way o: making the Jaw of carrying concealed weapons tighter, looms up and it spite of all the legislation along th( line to prohibit, the practice to carri concealed weapons still prevails, and murder is added to murder from timf to time in every part of South Carolina. The time has arrived in South Caro lina that peaceable and law abiding cit izens cannot feel safe in traveling any public highway or in attending any public meeting on any occasion lest he might unintentionally rumple the feel. iags of some pistol "toter" and ir "quicker, than a flash," is shot to death and is thereby a victim to a law that has been entirely helpless to proteit Jhim. Peaceable and inotfensive persons ip company with their wives or daugh ters, or with both, and even on .their way on the Holy Sabbath to :aaend'di vine service are not safe frorighe .fury of law offending carriers -ofW.conealed weapons. The most thati,ever conius'out '.f. a case that is made out aga.&don'e of the pistol toting 6fferAers .is To inflict a penalty as punishmeat,.to -s.entence one to the county'chain ga.thifty-days, or to impose a fine of thirtyor.f6 dollars and to a forfeiture of the tiLtol- to the State. If the offender has a little money or if he has an aptitude to beat he can soft soap some-one's sympathy by tel ling that he did hot have a fair hearing or that he was a- victim to spleen and spite, and after getting out, he con gratulates himself on the cunning point he has made in getting out the meshes of the law, and soon returns to his ac customed practice of toting a cor.cealed weapon. If on the other hand he be one that has no money or the ability to tell things that would bring him money, or a friend to the rescue, he goes to the chaingang with the certainty of per forming thirty days labor on the county public works, coupled with the same am6unt of ime for reflection, will re turn to freedom a better man or a worse -riminal, and he too will return to his )ld law violating habit of toting a hid len pistol. Let the legislature repeal this law that is a failure and-pass an act legal izing the carryiun of a pistol by anyone if they think best to do so, and we be tieve by a law of this kind, betternre iults will be realized, than is by tfie law gainst carrying concialed weapons hat has been a statue law so - long in outh Carolina, and- so longito a poor purpcse. . Laiv abiding persons will carry pis tols for defence and not for offerice, and lt it be distinctly understood that any ne so far forgetting himself, becomes :h-3 aggressor, and commits ?iurder, must expect to make restitution !or his :rime by forfeiting his life upon the pillows. Cowardly pistol toting rowdies can be taught a more wholesome lesson, me more salutary and effective by al owing all men if they so choose to hon >rably carry pistols. When all men bear arms all the dead iever be on one side for the killer stands is good chance to be killed as to kill, md consequently he will be apt to act nore circumspect and prudent, ever nindful of the fact that killing would ,e a game that more -than one or many :otuld ulay at. Let every man have a fair chance for uis life along life's .pathway, and the vay to do that is to legalize the carry .ng of pistols, and to "Repeal the Bur esque" known as the law against cai 'ying concealed weapons. .GEO.

Abraham Lincoln's forefathers were pioneers-men who left their homes to open up the wilderness and make the way plain for others to follow them. For 170 years, ever since the first American Lincoln came from England to Massachusetts, in 1688, they had been moving slowly westward as new settlemente were made in the forest They faced solitude, privation and all the dangers and hardships that beset men who take up their homes where only beasts and wild men have had homes before, but they continued to press steadily forward, though they lost fortune and sometimes even life itself in their westward progress. Back in Pennsylvania and New Jer sey some of the Lincolns had been men of wealth and Influence. In Kentucky, where the future president was born on Feb. 12, 1809, his parents lived in deep poverty. Their home was a small log cabin of the rudest kind, and noth ig seemed more unlikely than that their child, coming into the world In such humble surroundings, was des tined to be the greatest man of his time. True to his race, he also -was to be a pioneer, not, indeed, like his an cestors, a leader into new woods and unexplored fields, but a pioneer of a nobler and grander sort, directing the thoughts of men ever toward the right and leading the American people through difficulties and dangers and a mighty war to peace and freedom. The story of this wonderful man be gins and ends with a tragedy, for his grandfdther, also named Abraham, was killed by a shot from an Indian's rifle while peaceably at work with his three sons on the edge of their frontier clear ing. Eighty-one years later the pre -1 dent himself met death by an assas sin's bullet. The murderer of one was a savage of the forest; the murderer of the other that far more cruel thing, a savage of civilization.-St. Nicholas.. FLATTERING RULERS. Their Weak Points Pass Unnoticed. Napoleon's Marksmanship. Rulers have always been flattered, from Canute's time downward, it be 'ng, it would seem, an unwritten law that a monarch's weak points should pass unrecognized. Napoleon II. once said, In consoling a friend who chanced to be shooting with him for his poor .marksmanship: -. "You need not fret about it The em peror (by which he meant his uncle, the great Napoleon I.) was even a worse shot thian you ere. The only time they put a gun In his hand he killed a poor hound and went away thinking he had killed a stag. "In those days the stag, whenever brought to bay, was left for the em peror to kill. One day, however, the emperor was not to be found, and the master of the staghounds finished the animal with his kifife. Just then the emperor came in sight. "They hurriedly got the dead stag on its legs, propping it up with branches, etc., and handed the emperor the 'cara bine of honor,' as It was called. The emperor fired, and of course the stag tumbled over, but at the same time there was a piteous whine from one of the hounds, which had been shot through the head. "The emperor wheeled around, -un conscious of the mischief he had done, saying to one of the aids-de-camp, 'After all, I am- not as bad a .shot as they pretend!'" HOW A- BADGER WORKS. Can Excavate Almost as flapidly as a Man With a Spade. During the day the badger sleeps deep in his burrow, far out on our western plains and prairies, and at twi light he starts forth on a-night's forag ing. He is a dreaded enemy of the prairie dog and the ground squ.irrel, and when he begins to excavate for one. nothing but solid rock or death can stop him. With the long, blunt claws of his ford feet he loosens up the dirt. .Dig,. dig, dig! He works as though his life de pended on it, now scratching out the sides of the hole, then turning on his back to work overhead. At first he throws the dirt out be tween his hind legs, but soon he Is too far down for that, so he banks it up back of him, then turns about and us ing his chest and forward parts as a pusher shoves it out before him. He works with such rapidity that it would be'somewhat difficult for a man to overtake him with a spade.-St. Nicholas. Killin a Robin.I There are persons at the present day -and not all old women either-who believe that killing a robin will bring bad luck. According to ancient belief, the storm cloud was a huge bird. The. - Arabian's represented his wings ~Is lived on worms, the latter being, the streaks of'.lightning accompanying storms. The Germans remodeled the fiction by creating the god Thor, whose bird was the robin. 'Consequently to kill a robin first meant death by light ning, then bad luck. . The Early Boom. "When i. was a boy," said the rather vain person, "everybody said I was go ing to be president of the United States." - "Yes," answered the seasoned poli dlaln. "Your case simply'lllustrates my argument that it isn't safe to start a boom too far ahead of election." George L. Dobson has resigned his position as consul general at Hang how, China, after but a few weeks. He says Hangchow Is the filthiest city1 on earth.
