? 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.

* /
Every druggist in tne siaie nas noticed

Tone is perfectly safe and gives better
results," says Ladd's drug store
Dodson'c Liver Tone is personally
guaranteed by Ladd's drug store who

tasting, purely vegetable remedy ?
harmless to both children and adults.
A bottle is the house may save you
a day's work or keep your children

Hunger 8trikei.
The problem of the hunger strike
was not known in the seventeeth ceoitury.
Then, however, It was allowed
, to solve Itself. John Evelyn, for In
stance, in 1656, found martyrs to ineir
beliefs in Ipswich, and entered the
fight and its sequel in his diary: "I
had the curiosity to visit some
Quakers hero in prison," he noted on
July 8, 1656, "a new fanatic set, of
dangerous principles, who show no re>
spect to any man, magistrate or other.
. . . One of these was said to have
fasted 20 days; but another, endeavoring
to do the like, perished on the
tenth, when he would have eaten,
but could not." There is no question
of forcible feeding here!?
