Wyjie, of l^ancaster, repository of much interesting local history hereabouts, writes about one incident of the oldtime days, anent the election of Herbert M. Dun lap as mayor of Rocvk Hill, whoae brother is senator from York county, and whose father was also a big man in his gen oration. Mr. Wylie tells the story in The Lancaster News thus; Herbert M, Dunlap, elected unanimously, by the city council, mayor of Koek Hill, S. (\, to succeed the late J. B. Johnson, is a son of the late W. Benjamin Dunlap, who was the tlrst Democratic treasurer of Lancaster county after Reconstruction days, receiving his appointment from Gov. Wade Hampton. He displaced Rev. I. C. Clinton, colored, who, because of strict integrity, was allowed to remain in office for some months after the white people regained control of the government. Shortly after Mr. Dunlap assumed the duties of the office, "Uncle Isom," as he was familiarly called by the whites, called to pay his tax. There was a sign over the window, "No correction in change after you leave the window." The tax was >pai<t, receipt given, with the surplus change and the colored preacher left. After a short while, he reappeared at the window, saying, "Mr. Dunlap you made a mistake in the change. "Can't help it Uncle lsom," said Mr. Dunlap, "you see the notice over the window." "Yes," replied the colored man, "but you paid 'me too much money." "Can't help it, the rule works both ways." said Mr. Dunlap. * So the white treasurer refused to accept the change, and the colored extreasurer, disappointed, went his way. A Red Shirt leader of those days, commenting on the incident, remarked. "Two honest men, one white and the other black, meet face to face." Mr. Dynlap with his family, removed afterward to Rock Hill, became the first secretary of Winthrop college, and died honored and beloved by a wide circle of acquaintances. I. C. Clinton, afterwards, became bishop of the Methodist church, and held that office when he died, esteemed and honored by both white and colored. Court was in session when he died, presided over at the time by the litte Chief Justice R. C. Watts. The c<^urt after suitable remarks by several attorneys arjourned out of respect of this colored men. Clinton was the slave of the late Irvin Clinton, who being impoverished by the war between the states, lived in a comfortable two-room house, built for him on the plantation of his former slave, who provided for him the remainder of his life, supplying the coffin in which he was burtad. A modest marble slab was erected at the grave,, in the old Presbyterian grave-yard in the town of I>ancaster, where it may be now seen, with the name of the occupant and the date of his death. Underneath this is the following inscription: "Farewell, Isom, if I am lost, 1 will be lost pleading for mercy. "You cannot be lost pleading for mercy." These were the last words of the former master, in -reply To the urgings of the former slave that he accept the terms of salvation as offered in the Bible. The popular Dr. John J. Clinton is a son of I. C. Clinton. Miss Vesty Honored On Wednesday evening Mrs. Louise W. Cantey and Mrs. Edna T. Clyburn entertained at the home of Mrs. Cantey for Miss Grace ^Vesty, who is visiting friends here. Four tables were arranged for bridge in a lovely setting of garden flowers.

Incorporated A LITHE A HO IT SHARKS Catching Timers of the Sea Is Profitable Oi? South African Coast "Sharking1" is another new indus-! try which South Africa is finding pro-| litablo, according to a bulletin from I the Washington, 1). CM headquarters of the National Geographic Society. "Many sharks are .taken in the oldfashioned way with huge, baited hooks and towed to slaughter houses on the shore, but modern companies have taken a tip from the whaling industry. Small uihark boats have been displaced by well-equipj*Td, floating shark abattoirs. "Shark nets are so made and placed in the water that the big ftsh, once entangled, is on its first lap to the markets of the world in the form of some twenty valuable commodities. "In a desperate attempt to liberate itself from the net, the shark literally kills itself and is hoisted aboard the 'sharker' for dissection. Chicago meat men boast that they use every particle of a pig except its squeal. The shark industry utilizes the whole shark and excepts nothing, for there is no squeal, nor even a grunt. "On the dissecting table, a monster first loses its fins. They are thrown into vats where they begin a journey leading to the soup bowls of well-to-do Chinese. Then the skin succumbs to the sharp knives of expert cutters. Formerly the raw skin with its hard, scalelike crystals was used for polishing wood. The denticles alsot made the skin popular as sword and knife grips. "When cheap sandpaper appeared on the market, the expensive shark skin (shagreen) lost some of its usefulness. Meanwhile scientists invented a process by which the rough surface of the skin could be removed without damage to the skin and it was but a short time until shoes, purses, coats and many other leather ' ' , goods of shark skin appeared on counters of the world's department stores. Properly tanned, shark skin is soft, durable ami non-fading, and it readily takes color. Leather 'made of styark skin does not crack. "Shark meat is stripped from tho carcas?,in foot-square slabs. Dried and packed, most of it finally turns up on African or Malayan dinner tables. The shark liver gives up an oil that might easily be mistaken for codlivcr oil. It also contains vitamins. Shark-liver oil is widely used in the manfuacture of margarines and soaps and in tempering fine steel. A liver seven feet long, weighing 200 pounds, was taken from a 13-foot tiger shark. "Pigments are extracted from the shark's gall bladder and some of the shark's glands are the source of valuable drugs. Glue, fertilizer and poultry feed also are valuable shark products. "Once an Australian business house received an order for 100,000 shark's teeth from tho South Sea islands where they are as good spending money as are silver dollars in tho United States. Many thousands of teeth that do not go to the South Seas are transported, cleaned and decorated with gold and silver, and finally adorn Chinese women." One thousand men fought desperately at Port Alfred, Quebec, on Tuesday to stop a great fire that was destroying 250,000 cords of puLpwood at a paper mill there. The paper mill was to start work soon, after being idle for several months, and the men were literally fighting for a chance to make a living. The flames leaped as high as 125 feet into the air and were visible for 26 miles. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence E. Graham and Mr. Karl Rosborough spent last week end in Atlanta.
