KATHERINE M. RICHARDSON.
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. There was a large
concourse of friends present at this
service, and the floral tributes were
beautif'ul and numerous. ~The follow

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.

Diamond Cicaving.
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

Good Weight.
One trick of the trade was taught to

he old dealer pointed to trays of beef,
tmb and pork trimmings beneath the

"When customers ask to have all the
'aste that has been cut from their
mn meat wrapped up with their orde!
a sure to put in a few of these trim
jings besides." he said. "Most always
ey want the scraps sent home sc
iey can weigh the whole business and
ad out whether they are getting full
-eight or not. Enough extra pieces
> tip the scales half an ounce beyond
ie supposed weight won't hurt any
Ddy and will give us a good name."
Shortly after that the new clerk
ard one frugal housewife say to an

Why Men Went West.
A hundred years ago the Rev. Timo
iy Dwight commented complacently
a the benefit to Connecticut from the
raining away to the frontier-then
estern New York-of the restless
>rits who chafed under the rule of
le old families and the Congregation
[ clergy, writes Professor Edward
.lsworth Ross in the Century. It nev
r occurred to him that these insur
ent spirits were carrying with them
> the wilderness a precious energy
ad initiative. The unprosperous, the
lftless and the migratory sought the
'onder, to be sure, but the enterpris
ig, too, were attracted by it. The
morous and cautious stayed and ac
?pted the cramping conditions of an
d society, but those who dared take
bances, to "place a bet on them
lves," were apt to catch the western
%ver.
Precedent Nobly Ignored.
Had no important step been taken by
ie leaders of the Revolution for which
precedent could not be discovered

a exact model did not present itself

t this moment have been numbered

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. They
have concerts and balls, and, more
than that, -what do you think? They
have a debating society."
"Indeed' said the visitor. "A de
bating socIety?"
"Yes. They are debating just now,
and if you like," suggested the man,
"I will show you how they proceed.
But when they see you take no par
ticular notice. Should they address "'
you merely say, 'Let me not disturb
you, gentlemen; I am daft.'" -
The lunatic--for such he really was
-conducted the visitor into a room of
the asylum and left him, not in the
presence of lunatics, but with the
board of governors of the institution,
who were just then sitting.-Lonldonl

Chewing the Crude Rubber.
About the first process rubber goes
through on the way to become a tire
or tube is mastication. After the -
crude Para is washed It is broken up .
into lumps and tossed into the crack
ers. These are machines with heavy
rollers, which take the rubber in be
tween them and chew it Entering
the masticating room of a factory, the
first impression is that there is a brush
fire burning or else there is a den of
snakes at hand. The rubber snaps
and crackles like burning branches
and then hisses shudderingly. The
stul Is kept at until it comes up in
regular sheets, very thin and looking
like a sort of cake dusted with crumbs.
Then after thorough drying in vacuum
chambers it is ready to put in with
the chemicals and othe: things that
make up the compound.-New York

"No," said Mirandy, "Sam am still
