AFTER pIfTY.SEVBN YEARS
M?n Returns To Gaston County To Find
Many Kinsfolk Dead.
York. July 7>?C. C. Hope, a well
kiiiown farmer of the Ka3*t View sec
tion! was culled to OuHtonia, X.
Saturday to meet an ancle. Thomas
Hope, who had not been heard from
by 'his relatives since f>7 years ago when
he was a soldier in the Confederate
urmy, He had long ago been given up
as a victim of the War Between the
States, and when he appeared unan
nounced among his kinsfolk in Gaston
and Mecklenburg Counties a few days
ago it occasioned much surprise and
rejoicing. He has a number of rela
tives in York County.
The returned man stated that he had
been captured 'by the Union forces in
the Tall of 1802 and Confined in a mili
tary prixou until the close of the war.
Being absolutely without means and cog
nizant of the deploruble state of affairs
in the Soitth, Mr. Hope, when given
his liberty, decided to seek his fortune
in the land where he so long had been
a prisoner,. In business he met- with
moderate (success, eventually acquiring
a competence that is supporting him in
comfort (hiring his declining years. Al
though 82 years old. he is physically
vigorous and mentally alert. His home
is in New York City.
Though h?ng resisted, the desire to
once more see his native section and
relatives was too strong to be denied.
His visit acquainted him with many
changes that had taken place it) Ms
long absence. Of his four brothers. only
one, < "hristopher Hope of Meckh nburg
C lunty. Mirvivi**, the other three ljav?
ing l?-st tio'ir lives in the War Between
th" States. Friends of his youth were
inquired about, but nearly all were found
to have passed away. He saw. of course,
i m:i:iv remarkable changes in Cast on and
the other counties he visited and er
p < ? ?ed amaznueut at the wonderful
development <?f the country since the
fir off time in the 'ftOs when he left
h"me ill answer to the ca!1 of the Con
fisleracy.
Col. .lames Slmonds Is Dead.
Charleston. S. July 4. ? Col. James
Smtunds. one of the best known men
of this state, died here today in bis
^ffh year. He wa* for many years
vice president general of Che Society of
the Cincinnatti, was president of The
New* and Courier company, chairman
of the two local school boards' an<l a
lawyer of wide reputation. He had, a
distinguished record as a Confederate
soldier and later as a state legislator.

FREAKS ENTITLED TO FAME
Kurapaan Famlllaa That Mad Mara
Than Ordinary Claims to
World's Attantton.
There fx living at Bilbao, Spain, a
family of s^ven who between them
possess no fewer than 164 Angera. One
of tliein baa 23 Angers, another 21,
while yf the remaining Ave each CtB
f> nasi a couplefof handa with 12 fin
gers apiece.
At Koshlllvo, Russia, a very similar
phenomenon exists in the fifty or more
descendants of a peasant with extra
Angers on his hands, who married at
the beginning <>f the lust century, all
of whom are dowered with from pne
to the tlngera In excess of the normal
HWIiWmt.
The last surviving member of what
was perhaps the record family with
regard to weight waa, In the .person
of Charles Atkins, a few years ba<*k
inferred at Harrow, England. He
weighed 470 pounds, his brothers, who
predeceased him, being no less than
504 and 300 pounds.
The family record for longevity ha*
not been heaten since Robert Parr, the
great-grandson of the celebrated
Thomas Parr, died In 1757 at the age
of one hundred and twenty-four. Hla
father lived to celebrate his one hun
dred arid ninth birthday, hla grand
father reached one hundred and thir
teen, while his greatgrandfather waa
152 at the time of hla death.
There la mentioned In the Harleian
Mfscellany a Scotch weaver and hla
wife who were fee proud parents of
62 children. 50 of whom reached their
majority.
Large as this family waa. Its fame
pales before that of a Russian, one
Ivan Waaslllg. who was the proud fa
ther of 87. By hla Arat wife he had
09 children In the following order:
Four tlmea quadruplets at /i birth,
seven times trlpleta and 10 times
twins. By his second spouse he bad
twice trlpleta and six tlmea twlna.
Undoubtedly the record for mlafor
tune belongs to a Belgian family
named Adnet. The father. Jean Ad
net, was drowned ; his wife committed
suicide, while of h(s two sisters one
was killed by the kick of a horse and
the other by a blow received from a
falling seafTold.
Jean Adnet had six children, four
sons and two daughters. Of these the
latter perished through the overturn
ing of a pleasure boat* One of th<*
sons was stabbed 4n a drunken brawl,
another was crushed to death by a
heavy wagon, while the remaining
two, who emigrated to America, were
slain In 1801 while fighting for Bal
maceda against congresslsts. ? Stray
Stories. ' ? - '
Remarkable Twins.
Darius Cobb, artist, who died recent
ly, and Cyrus Cobb, sculptor, were
twins whose similarity, not only In ex
ternal features but In the nature and
development of their talents, Is one
of the most remarkable In scientific
history. At fourteen both were paint
ing views of the Mississippi river.
At sixteen they were both leading or
chestras, having simultaneously taken
up the study of inqslc. About the
same time they both wrote poems for
a paper published by the father, the
Rev. Sylvanus Cobb.
When the twins were nineteen yearfc
old they started painting, profession
ally, Cyrus painting the portrait of
their father and Darius that of their
mother. At twenty they added litho
graphing to their accomplishments.
In the Civil war they enlisted and
fought side by side. At the close of
the war came the first diversity In
their activities. Cyrus then devoted
himself to sculpture, designing a num
ber of soldiers' monuments and his
toric figures. Darius became a his
torical painter. His head of Christ,
upon which he labored 34 years, was
regarded as his masterpiece.
Far From Other CKles.
. What Is the most out-of-the-way
place In the United States? A Utah
man nominates Ilariksvllle, In that
state, for the distinction. Hanksville,
he says, Is the Inst postofllce for sev
eral hundred miles to the south and a
hundred miles to the east. TUe mpll
that reaches there goes -through po
much hardship that the wrappings are
usually worn out. for It must pass
through the hands of three star route
contractors before reaching Its des
tination. a letter from Hnnk.s'ille, he
says, hnd Just reached him nt Crreen
River, 00 miles away, which had been
10 days on the way.
Used Theater Programs Cleaned.
Conservation has extended even to
rumpled theater programs, left In th*
seats by the patron of a theater, ac
cording to Popular Mechanics Maga
zine. Ret ween 200 and 300 are picked
up each night, piled In stacks of
each, and pressed flat In a bookbind
er's press for 24 hours. Emerging flat
and nnwrlnkled from this process
they are then tun through rubber roll
ers, which erase all fingerprints and
stains. It Is said that It Is impossible
to distinguish these reclaimed pro
grams from those Just off the printing
