Old Newspaper Man Dead
Many were made sad in Newberry
Thursday morning when the news
reached the city of the death of R. H.
Greneker, the evening before in the
city of Greenville. Tho.news came as
a shock to .many, a? they were not
aware of his serious -illness.
Mr, Greneker had to give up newspaper
work in Newberry-^a few' years
ago on account of the condition of his
eyes, and went to make his home
with relatives in Greenville and also
spending a part of the time with relatives
in Edgefield.
The major portion of Mr. Greneker's
life was spent in Newberry
after reaching manhood, in the newspaper
business, at times being connected
with both papers, both as
printer and reporter.
J lis friends were numbered by his
acquaintances, for to know him was
to love him?'he was everybody's
friend- even the smallest and youngest
of children who came in contact
with him. knew hint affectionately as
"Uncli* Dick," and he will always be
remembered for^his- little kindnesses
and affectionate deeds to the little
>ne$. ...
He was missed when he had to
! leave Newberry -on account of h:^ !
failing health and the sad hearts in j
' Newberry county are many at the
! nvw? of hi" death. He was ^7-2 year^
i of age.?Newberry Observer.

A bullet from the Winchester rifle
in the hand* of McGee ended the life

head ami causing almost instant
death. Deputy Sheriff Wilson died

The street car was crowded, and an
old gentleman with a kindly twinkle
in his eye, *took five year old Tommy
oa his lap. "This will be better than
standing, yon't iif my boy?" he sug_
geated.
"Yes," said Tommy, rather reluctantly,
for he had enjoyed lurching
about in the car. "But, you want to
be careful that I don't pick your pockets,"
the old man said in a whisper.
Can't," Tom retorted, his voice
sortrewhat muffled, "As soon as I saw

DUST IS DANGEROUS.
Clouds of Flour Liable to do More
Damage Than Explosives.
It is not generally known that flour,
sugar, starch or grain dusts are capable
of working greater havoc than a
high explosive, such as dynamiter
says the London Tit-Bits.
In a barrel or sack flour is harmless.
But if you were to take hand-,
fuls of it ?ind throw it about until the
air in the room was full of it and then
light, a match the house?might be
blown to pieces.
Flour is a combustible substance.
When a cloud of it floats in the air
of a room every particle is in immediate
contact with oxygen, and a
(lame of even a spark will cause it to
burn. Instantaneously the whole of
it is converted into gas, which, expanding
in a closed area, blows out
the walls.
Powdered sugar is. also, extremely
dangerous, while powdered spices,
oatmeal and even soap will explode.
Sonic months ago a workman lifted
the lid of a bin containing flour, and
held a lighted match inside to see how
full it was. An explosion took place
immediately-and the unfortunate man
was badly injured. Yet it was not the
mass of the flour that went off but
only what was afloat in the air of the
bin.
The average freshman woman
student at the University of Kansas
weighs 111) pounds and is 5 feet 4
inches tall. A few years ago the
averages were 126 pounds and 5 feet
3 inches.
