Hut, alas! she grew steadily worse, her sons were summoned to her bed-aide and Mtayod by her uutt) che end mine, and the oherlahed life went out. Mm, Moore was is? yearn old, and the yqjiw had| |{#?en well M|M?nt. The funeral servlcea were held at the Preabyterlan church Sunday after* (toon at tt;UO and were largely attend ed. The services were rou.ducted by the iMiMtor/ Hev. J. p. Itowan, assisted hy Dr. W.-B. Gordon, of the JKplscopal Church. The flora I tributes were many and lH>autlful, and she was laid to rest in tin* old Quaker cemetery beneath a blanket of flowers. In this quiet, rest fill place, in the waning October .sun light, Dr. (Jordon read the following poem, that so appropriately expressed the sentiments of hearts present, fill ed with sorrow, but also tilled with hope: . "Now the laborer's task is o'er; Now the battle day Ik past ; Now upon the farther shore Lauds the voyager at last. Father,, in Thy gracious keeping I^eave we now Thy servant sleeping. ?

"There no more the jsiwers of hell Can prevail to mar their peace; Christ the Lord shall guard them well, He Who died for their release. _ Father, in Thy gracious keeping Leave we now Thy servant sleeping. "Kartb to earth, and dust to dust," Calmly now the words we say, v Left behind, we wait in tmst For the resurrection-day. Father, in Thy gracious keeping Leave we now Thy servant sleeping." "Stop Thief" Was Great Joy-Tonie. A The Charlotte News of October 17th, has tho following to nay of "Stop Thief," which will be presented at the Camden oj>era house Novemlier 7tli : "Featuring Bert Iieigh and Hazel Burgess, "Stop Thief' delighted two fair sized audiences at the Aradeiiiy of Music yesterday matinee and night. It was a howling success. The lines were great and there was at every minute a good laugh in store. It was one continuous roar from the time the curtain went up (on account $f*the war, they xay)v until it fell on The last act. The characters were good and the parts were well acted. A few lqlnutes to get under way and the laughs started. It was one big laugh from beginning to end. Bert Leigh and Hazel Burgess ? Charlotte favorites? wtye featured and these with the aid of Mr. Edward Lawrence in the role of Mr. Carr, bore the brunt of the feature work. They were the ??use ? individually and col-, lectively ? of some million and a half laughs and the audience^ plainly show ed the appreciation of their work. , Needless to say the parts fitted the two favorites perfectly. It was a show of fun and when you' pull a show of fun you've got to hand it to Bert Leigh. It was a spontaneous comedy ? of course? to a large extent but that's just where Bert Leigh stars. The two stars were glveh rounds of W their Infflntvapiwriraneo on the stage. Miss Burgess was present ed with several exquisite bunches of flowers and the audiences plainly show ed just what they* think ?f these "two" stars' work. It was one big laugh from l>egin* jjing to end and for a joy tonic "Stop Thief as presented) here yesterday was hard to beat. a t * ? Clifford Pleases. Billy Clifford and his aggregation of female musicians pleased a large audience at the opera house Wednes day Tilght.- Thj<*re ; IB absolutely nothing but nonsense to the wliole show in terspersed with some of the finest musical numbers evpr heard in the .local play house. Mr. Clifford says his show is entirely original, there hp ing no Other J Ike it jiowouthe road, and not knowing what to, call it he gave it the name of "Believe Me'^and "Believe Me" is all right "Musical Walker" in his saxaphone a-logue made a big hit with the audi ence, as did also the throe Misses Weston in their musical numbers. Al together the performance furnished an evening of wholesome laughter and the audience was welj pleased. The next attraction at the opera house will be Bert Leigh and hie com? puny In "Stop Thief", November 7th. PERSONAL MENTION. Ityms of Interest Gathered by Our Reporters.

There is very little doing in social circles this week, a? everybody is in terested in the Kershaw County Fair, and it is right that they should lie. The attractions are good, the exhibits magnificent, the weather for the open ing days ideal,' and It is up to the peo ple t<? make It a success. We certainly lio|a? that complete success will attend the splendid and courageous efforts of the managers.

Cood; ]>eople everywhere agree that the doctrines of "Temperance iu all thingH" Is sound and that intemper ance, no matter what form it assumes, should be discouraged. Such differ ences and dissensions as have hereto fore arisen in the ranks of temperance advocates have been of "the head" and not Of "the heart." Unfortunately, it Is Impposslble for all of us to be thor oughly infbrmed on all- subjects and even the best people sometimes make mistakes o# "the head." This Is most regrettable for It. gives the opposition nil opportunity to show up the ignor miec of-sfone of-the-temi'terance teach ers and the entire cause thereby suf ?? In Oils eonneation. It Is extremely Important that * those who undertake to teach others should first properly inform themselves, especially in refer ence to the^class of agents commonly known mh stimulants. leading scien tists, both of This country and abroad, havec learly pointed out the difference between the two classes of stimulants which are commonly used as lever ages. One of these classes, represent ed by coffee* tea a.nd Coca-Cola, owes Jfs refeshiiig qualities to the presence of a substance known as caffeine, the physiological effect of which, accord ing to Dr. Hollingworth, of Columbia University, is to increase tlte eafte with which ^be nerves and muscles resi>ond to the Will, especially in fatigue. Dr. Hshmeideberg, cff Strasflburg, Germany, who is universally rdtognlzed as the greatest living authority on tbe physi ological action of drugs, refers to the effects of the caffeine-containing bev erages as "advantageous" and adds, "This character ^of caffeine action makes plain that these food materials do not injure the organism by their caffeine content and especially do not by continued use cause any chronic form of illness, as alcoholic beverages KO easily do." In view ot- thes* Scientific facts, which ' are commonly taught In onr leading medical colleges and universi ties, It would seem the imrt of unpar donable folly to wage war upon the only popular beverages which are pos itively known to be -free from any In jurious or habit-forming effects. ? adv. * It Is practically certs in that An derson will construct a large grain elevator in the near future.

V..V" Digging Trenches Under Fire. * A '? In*^toerei>orts of the war in Ku roi?e it Is frequently stated that the advance lines of the a miles throw up intrenchments, and It Ik difficult for the ordinary reader to understand how this is done, for to him anything like a fortification appears to be a matter of considerable time and labor wjiieh could not be accomplished with the enemy raining ?hot and .shell. What these protections are and how they are formed is clearly explained in the special war issue of The Scientific American of October 3, by a military exi>ert In an interesting story about fortifications generally. The advancing line may have suffer ed great losses, or the ammunition may be running low. At all events, it finds itself unable to gain ground to the front. To retreat would be fatal. It must remain where it Is ? some of the men find natural cover, but a great may must find artificial protection I from the enemy's rifle fire, The men are lying as flat as they can. To arise even to kneeling position means death or a' disabled wound. The necessity fdr cover under these circumstances caused men to devise the lying down trench, sometimes called the skirmish er's trench. It gives protection from rifle fire to a maft lying- down but is absolutely no protection from shrapnel bullets. The height of the parapliet should not exceed one foot. The trench 4t^elf Is about two and .a half feet wide and about six feet long. It can be constructed by one man in soft ground using the portable lntr^nchment tools in al>out 20 minutes. Under fire, as outlined in the foregoing, the man being compelled to remain in the prone position, lie can mask himself from view in from 10 to 15 minutes and complete the trench In 40 to 45 min utes. In -this position and In view of the small number of portable in trenching tools earried by the com pany, the man Svoutd be obliged to use Tils knife bayonet to loosen the earth and the cover of his meat can to shovel It in front of him. One of the methods of working suggested by the Iext__biioks ia to dig a trench 1# Inches wide n* far back fts thekriees; roll into it- and dig 12 inches wide along side of it and down to the feet ; then ro\l Into the second cut and ex tend the first one back to "ttje feet. This trench was seldom used during the Manchurian war. '*The best .that can be' said for It is that men can obtain slight cover under a hot fire with a minimum of casual ties because it involves less digging and they are partially protected from the very beginning of the work.
