Miss Auatha Wilson died Wednes day afternoon at the Tourney Hospital where she was taken for treatment a few days after she was seriously burn ed at Hlshopville about two weeks ago. It was realized from the first that her injuries were extremely se rious. but hope was entertained that she might revive. She did not rally, however, and ,for {several days her death had been expected. Miss Wil son was the daughter of the late Rev. J. B. Wilson, who ? died about a year a no after a life time si>ent In the min istry as a memlier of the South Caro lina Conference. She has been a mem ber of the faculty of the City School for live or six years.

The city schools gave a half holiday as a mark of respect to Miss Wilson. ? Sumter Item. , No Reduced Kates For State Fair. Columbia, Oct. 10.?

How a Young Man Can Lay the Foun dation of an Old Aga Income. In "Tho Family's Money" in tho American Magazine a father asks his son why ho does not increase ids In come every year In tho following man ner: "Suppose you ksvo $250 a year, or about $5 a week. You could do that and not suffer. Invest that money In a sound 0 j?er cent security. During tho second year It will earn for you $15, giving you an Increase of $1.25 a month. Add your interest galu to the principal, and at the end of the second yeur you will have $515 working for you. "At tho close of the fourth year you will have a capital 4n vested of $1,002, which during the fifth year will give you $05, or more than $5 a month. Of course euch year is adding to your principal and your Income. When the eighth year comes to an end you will possess capital of $2,470, which during the ninth year will earh $148, or more than $12 a month, and that is not an amount to laugh at. i "At the end of the twentieth year you have $0,180, which during tho fol lowing; year will earn $550, or more than $45 a month. When that year closes you will possess capital of prac tically $10,00^, which will give you au income increase of $<50<) per annum, or $50 a month," Boys and Girla. The difference Is apparent early. A boy has as much fun In stoning a cat as a girl has in hunting for violets. A boy's curiosity is directed to tho ice box; a girl would like to see what Is lu the top bureau drawer. A girl can give the Impression when away from home that her parents are wealthy; n boy cannot. A girl is never so young that she will reveal to guests at a party that the spOons are borrowed; a boy child never grows so old that he fails to. Glvo a boy a dollar, and he will eat It; give his sister one, and she will wear it When brother* fight it Is over the larger share of pie. When sisters quar rel one lias worn something belonging to the other without asking permis sion. ? Youth's Companion. A Woman Did It. A lesson to landlords is this. A wo man did it. She wanted the house pa pered. The landlord talked about the paper shortage and took his rent and went. The next mouth when he called he found the house beautifully papered. He was pleaged and said so. The wo man smiled! She walked to the wall and moved a picture uslde. Beneath the picture was a grimy square of the old paper. The woman had papered around every picture in the house. As she paid the month's rent she gave no tice that she would move the1 next mopth.? Philadelphia North American. Gratitude! An unusual form of testamentary gratitude is recorded in the diary of Henry Oreville. "A man who had spent much of his time in fishing left a direc tion in his will that as ho had derived much nourishment as well as pleasure from the fish he had caught at Chertse^ it was only fair to the descendants of those fish that he in return should be* come their food. He therefore desired that his body should he cast into the Thames at Chertsey."? London Tatler. Had to 8ay Something. Jack Timid (presumptuously In lore with his employer's daughter) ?
