The Atlantic Coast Line got another severe jolt in the courts last week in Barnwell by a virdict for 840,000 for damages to H. C.

Gone To Her Reward. Died in MTanning last Saturday even ing after a lingering illness. Mrs. Lula Wood Turner, wife of M1r. W. Minter Turner, aged about 3S years. The de ceased was a native of Union county, came here as a bride. about ten years ago. The young couple, strangers in a strange town, was at once received by the good people here, and by her strong intelligent personality the de ceased soon took a front place among the ladies of the town. Mrs. Turner was noted for her splendid womanhoad and her indomitable will-power. It was this which prolonged her battle for life that she could the longer be spared to her two sweet little children; it was a struggle, the dreaded disease had its grasp upon her, and finally conquered, the soul of a noble mother and wife took its flight to eternal rest, leaving behind to mourn her husband and two littie girls ages five and seven years and a host of friends. She also has a brother in Wes; Virginia, two sisters one living ia Tennessee, and Mirs. Ida Acock of Barnwell who was with her atthe time of her death. The funeral services were conducted in the Mlan ning cemetery by Rev. F. H. Shuler of the Mlanning .Methodist church were she had her membership, and to which she was devoted.

Horton, L. R. MlcIntosh, T. M1. Welis, S. 1. Till and M1. Ness. Colored School ILibrary. We have established a library in the colored graded school of Slanning. The effort may be considered feeble but is of much need to those who love knowledge. The library consists at present of about 160 good books. The last addition thereto being six volumes entitled "The Opening of the West" written by Ex-Presiden t Roosevelt. These last books are a gift of Dr. C. 13. Geiger of Mlanning. Mly grand parents w ereo owned by Dr. Geiger's people in slavery days. The Geiger's of the eastern section of Lexington county are among the most aristocratic white people in the State. It is out' hope that these hooks will be read by par ents and pupils, and be preserved as token of rememberance, at all imes the thoughtful consideration of our intelligence by a distinguished white Ifriend.

Our Saviour gave his life fo missions, is it asking much that w shonid give 12 hours a year to pray fo which t h Son of God gave his life? This is not a plea for money, nor L oilea for work. It is a plea for twelv< of the 8.74S hours of the year for th missiouary society.

The art of the lapidary is one of ihe aost dteicate employmeats of nechan a force known. The practical dia 2oijd cutter learns many facts about recious stones which are sealed books ven to mineralogists. For instance, : is the lapidaries who have found ut that diamonds coming from the iferent districts vary remarkably in be1r degrees of hardness. It appears bat the hardest diamonds come from 'ew South Wales. An unfamiliar fact that diamonds are made to assume pproximately the required shape by litting and cleaving and by "bruting," hich is the rubbing of one diamond gainst another, before they are sub iltted to the polishing wheel. In leaving the diamond is cemented on ae end of a wooden stick and a steel lade is driven with a smart blow in ae direction of the natural plane of leavage. Diamonds that have been at by the lapidary's wheel lack some f the brilliance possessed by those at have simply been cleaved.-New ork Press. Good Weight.

Address Louis Broom, Man ning, S. C. Graceful Women of'India. Describing the women of India, a writer says: "Even the most with ered toil worn hag has a digity of car riage and a grace of motion that the western woman might envy. The sari is draped in an easy flowing style and adjusted as it slips back with a graceful turn of the silver bangled arm, the skinny legs move rhythmical ly and the small feet fall with a silent and pantherlike tread. It Is the beau ty of natural and untrammeled motion and says much in favor of the aboli tion of the corset, for the Indian wom en retain their uprightness and supple ness of figure till bowed with age. The commonest type is the coolie wo man, who undertakes all sorts of rough work, carrying heavy burdens on her head, and she is perhaps the least attractive, for her workaday gar ments are usually faded and dirty, yet even among this poor class of burden bearers we see many with handsome, straight features and supple, well pro portioned figures. No matter how poor their garments, jewelry of some sort is worn-necklaces of gold or beads, col ored glass or silver bangles and heavy silver anklets." - The Asylum Debating Club. "This is a wonderful place," said a man in the grounds of a lunatic asy lum near Edinburgh to a casual vis itor. "Everything is in such excel lent order, so agreeable too.
