Herber Dantzler to a charge of having in their possession and passing counterfeit coins knowing them to be counterfeit and with intent to defraud. i The three were bound over for a hearing before a federal grand jury and bond In the sum of $3,000 was fixed as to each. They were unable . to furnish bail and were temporarily committed to the city jail. A deputy from the office of the United States Marshal in Charleston arrived in the city Sunday and transferred them to the Sumter county jail. Smith and Way were taken into custody by local officers on last Thursday afternoon. The officers were investigating a report of the appearance of counterfeit half dollars in the city. When the two were apprehended, officers said they found more than 60 of the bogus half dollars on the boys. . Officers stated that the two claimed to have found the coins in a sack near the Riverside playground. They maintained this story until Saturday. Friday an agent of the federal bureau of investigation at Charlotte reached the city to aid local police in the ease. Shortly after hiB arrival, the third of the trio, Chestnqt was taken into custody. 'i' .. . Officers Saturday afternoon said the three had confessed to the charge.?

NEGRO MAKE8 AMEND8 FOR HER WRONG DEED A hundrded dollars for a brood of chickens is a mighty lot.of money, especially when the chickens laid no claim to any long line of aristocratid ancestry. However, when one's conscience continues to lash for a wrong doing, and that lashing is unceasing for more than a quarter of a century, a hundred dollars is regarded as a small price to pay to obtain ease of mind and forgiveness from the person against whom' the wrong deed was committed. At least this seems to be the way a negro woman feels about the situation, and she has just sought forgiveness at the hands of David Dantzler, a farmer of the Parler section. It all happened more than thirty years ago, and no doubt Mr. Dantzler had long since dismissed the incident from his mind. Within the past several days Mr. Dantzler received a letter mailed In New York state and it read as follows: ? * - "I know that you are surprised to | hear from me, hut when it came to my mind that 36 years ago I treated you wrong, and the Lord since, has forgiven me, I had to ask you to fori give me for some chickens I had. taken from you. I don't know, how many there were, but they were still following their mother. "Now I am sending a hundred dollars and asking you to' forgive me and write and let me know when you get it, please. I want you please to forgive me, I can't rest."?Orangeburg Times-Democrat.

Hard water carefully softened In this way mav he used without harmful results for almost anything from bathing the bnby to laundering delicate fabrics, says Pathfinder Mngnzlqe. Dissolve a can of lye In two pints of water In an enamel or stone container, being careful to avoid the fumes. As soon as the solution has stopped fuming stir it to prevent the lye from settling. One tablespoon of solution Is added to each gallon of water to be softened which must then stand for three days.'If too much lye Is added It will irritate the skin and weaken fabrics. Water may be easily tested by inserting a small strip of red litmus paper (inexpensive and sold at drugstores) In the water. If the paper turns blue add more water until the paper no longer chnnges color. How Fashions Were Made Many famous fashions owq their origin to the endeavor to conceal the personal defect or deformity of some distinguished leader of society, states a correspondent In Pearson's London Weekly. Patches were invented in England in the reign of Edward VI by a foreign lady?to cover a wen on her neck. Full-bottomed wigs fvere devised i by an ingenious French barber to con- 1 ceal a hump on the shoulder of the Dauphin. Charles VII of France Introduced long coats to hide his ugly legs. Shoes with very long points, fully two feet in length, were Invented by Henry Plantagenet, duke of Anjou, to conceal the malformation of one foot. . And when Frances I was obliged to wear his hair short owing to a head wound, short hair at once became the fashion, at court, ^ w\ ' How to Measure With Teaspoon How many housewives or cooks could follow the Instructions of their favorite recipes If all their ordinary measuring utensils except a teaspoon should disappear?

That was the only and all the paper' of any kind that ever came Into our home. There were no magazines then, so lar as we knew; and catalogues were unknown. That old weekly Constitution went a long way In those days. After those persons In the house who could read had read It 3 or 4 times, and the younguns had looked at all of the pictures in it, then it ?'kan to be of real service to the temUy. The girls curled their hair a'ter slightly wetting it with sweeteped b (molasses) water.

It was also scallopped beautifully and put on the mantleboard (Areboard then) and hung over about 6 inches with the clock sitting In the middle of the tbusly trimmed household necessity.

'We wrapped butter in this paper when we sold an occasional pound at the country store. We used it for gun wadding when we went hunting with our oki muzzleloader. We chewed it when we couldn t get hold to aiyr sweet gum to chew. We put it under cakes and custards to keep them from sticking to the pan while being baked. That's about all we ever used -that good old weekly Constitution for, except we did keep the churn that sat by the fireplace (till the milk turned)- covered with the first page.

FISH HAVE HARD LIFE IN MUDDIED 8TREAM8 Thousands of fishing sites that once were the Joy of fishermen will provide less sport and yield fewer fish this year than ever before as a result of soil erosion, says E. G. Holt, head of the wildlife section of the Soil Conservation Service. "In all parts of the country, muddy waters and silt are diminishing the stock offish," he said. "The reason is plain. Eggs laid by game fish cannot survive when streams are full of mud and erosion debris. Also, blanketing of the bottoms of streams with ooze and silt is destructive to food supplies, such as insect larvae, worms and small plants." The decreased supply of game fish in inland streams and their tributaries has not come about suddenly. Unwise use of the land over a period of ydhrs, resulting in an excessive runoff of rain-water, which washed tons or soil info~the streams, has been steadily cutting down the rate of propagation. Mr. Holt pointed out another reason why soil erosion can be blamed for spoiling once-popular fishing locations. Many species of fish - will thrive onljr in relatively deep, clear, running water, and when silt fills stream channels the fish leave, because they cannot live in the sluggish, muddy waters of shallow streams. Until there is more general control of soil erosion fishing conditions will not improve greatly," he said "Unless silting of stream channels is stopped, there is no Reason to expect that the fish can be brought back And the stock restored."?United States Department of Agriculture. Spanish rebel leaders have issued orders to their men, to "cut off the heads of all communists," said a Reuter news agency dispatch from Gi-' braltar.

Not only will the effects of drought bo reflected in tho. supply of seed, but the need for those crops will bo greater next year because of the irought. When it is practicable for farmers ,0 harvest the seeds of soil-conserving brops such as cowpoas, soybeans, oroolariu, velvet beans, etc., they may lot only supply their own needs but ilso those of their neighbors, Mr. MeCarley says. On jthe other hand, he [joints out that in somo cases where a armor does not have sufficient acreige in soll-conserying crops to yield mough seeds for his own uses, he nay be able to add to his supply by harvesting his neighbor's seeds on iharcB. Mr. MeCarley adds that county igents, extension agronomists, and jther qualified Individuals will be Jlad to give advice on the seed situation in tho state and bow to harvest, sure, store and clean Beed crops.
