Cheraw St. BennettsTllle, S. C. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiNiiiiiiiin " ?'""""""""???? *** * % ? Death of Mr. T. S. Crouch. Many Cheraw people will learn with sincere regret of the death of Mr. Samuel T. Crouch, which occurred at his home in Smithville township, Marlboro 'county, about 11. o'clock last Friday morning. Samuel Thomas Crouch was born in Richmond county, X. C., but has resided in Smithville township, Marlboro county, about three and a half miles fron# Kollock, for many years. Although a resident of Marlboro county, he seemed one of us for most of his business was transacted here. Mr. Crouch was in his 77th year. He leaves a widow, three sons and five daughters. Mrs. Sallie Sunday and daughter-inlaw, Mrs. John S. Sunday, who have been visiting at the home of Mrs. Sunday's daughter, Mrs. P. E. Treacy, returned Tuesday night to their home in Wavcross, Ga., having been unexpectedly called home on account of the illess of Mr. Sunday. ROMANS USED SAFETY PINS That-Many Familiar Articles Are of Ancient Origin Has Been Proved by Finds Made. Pine fashioned exactly like those of today called by us "safety pins," have been found in Roman and Etruscan tombs, some being referred to a period prior to the birth of Christ. The safety pin, it seems, was an article of common use in Italy long before the Roman empire attained the height of its glory. The material of which they were made, however, seems always to have been bronze. The collar stud is another ancient Invention. While it is true the old Romans did not make use of buttons for the purpose of fastening their garments, and they wore no collars, yet they possessed a sort of collar stud, which was used In conjunction with the safety pin in a number of ways. Who would imagine that the little paper fastener, with which we are familiar, the brass device that holds a number of loose sheets of paper together, was more than two thousand years old? Tet such Is the fact, since such a device was ^nployed by the Roman soldiers of t|^^era as an incidental of their co^t^Bs or uniform. "Tffie belt of thin cP^rer'worn by the old legions was fastened to a strip of cloth, serving as a lining, with a series of little bronze clamps precisely like the paper fastener in principle. Thimbles are ancient. Some specimens are Jcnown to be 2,500 years old. They are of bronze, and their outer surfaces show the familiar indentations for engaging the head of the needle. These thimbles are precisely like our modern ones, except that they have no tops to cover the end of the finger. Old Houses. A house at Winkel acquired for a public museum is said to be the oldest dwelling In Germany, having been built for the archbishop of Mayence in 850. According to some authorities the Fighting Cocks inn, St. Albans, which claims to be the oldest in| habited house in England, beats even j this record, having been built as a boathouse to the monastery founded i at St. Albans by King OfTa about 795. It has, however, not served as an inn so long as some other buildings, such as the Saracen's Head, Newark, the Old Green Man, Erdington, the Seven Stars, Withy Grove, Manchester, and the Bell Finedon.?London Chronicle. Literature In Brazil. That Catholic Brazil as a republio gives encouragement to literary effort today that was not given a few years ago Is shown In the series of book notices that are published in Le Bresil Economique, a French journal of Rio de Janeiro. Among these new books is a Portuguese translation of the "Life of Martin Luther," of which the paper says "the style is agreeable and the reading of the work, which is unpretendingly biographic, is very lnrg. All Not Lost When Youth Has Gone. Youth may not believe that there Is something left in life when youth is past. The "frowsy old frumps" on whom wits and caricaturists expended their shafts are now exceptions. The bright old lady, keen of wit, active in mind and cultivated of spirit, has replaced her. She is bound by no hard ana last cuuvtuuuimi rutes 01 arest* or conduct. Like the people who do away with fires on a certain date and resume them on another are the women who "begin caps" at thirty-five and wear "dowager dresses and mantles" at fifty. Far more sensible are those who wear what is comfortable and do what is permissible in the way of travel in far lands, when home ties drop away from them, as they are likely to do at sixty or I seventy years.?Ladles' Pictorial.
