RUSSIA'S LIMITLESS BOUNDS. I S ? 1 People of Some Sections Still Ignor- ] ant of Great War. A dispatch from Washington says: . . Beyond the northern limits of the 1 scrub pine and shaggy, stunted fir, t ' there is a Russian people (the Sa-. i moyeds) who, in all likelihood, have ] not yet learned that the Crimean { - ? ' - J - - J Un,TA nA iHoQC f war is enueu, aim wnu ua?c L of the difficulties that the Tsar, "the c ^ Little Father" who adopted them, is t facing in a present world-war. So vast is the Muscovite realm that ru- ? t mors of the greatest war in history ( cannot have penetrated to its out- 1 skirts, to the wastes fringing the f Arctic^ to the Mountain tangles just s beyond Mongolia, or to the ever- f green forests of Kamschatka. Rus- t sia harbors many strange peoples, c and all of the languages of the north- h era hemisphere within her bounda . ries, and it will be long before the i news of the present war, told in \ "friend pidgin," will arrest the at- t ? tention of her subject tribes. C ^ So begins a bulletin issued by the a National Geographic society, which o tells about the fragments of a race c crowded into the bleak north by the r Tartars, a race which lost its foot: v ? hold in the more fruitful, generous Smith on/! whinh nnw is Davine the E ' penalty of being pushed to the wall 1 by forgetting most of its former civ- s ilization and by dying out. Under u the protection of the Tsar, these peo- 1 pie are assured of a peaceful obliv* a \ ion behind {he veil of the North. The c bulletin continues: r "The Samoyeds are a Mongolian t people, who live in the wide sweep C of tundra country that reaches from 1< * the White Sea across Europe, in t places a belt more than s5o miles in t ' depth, from the Arctic Sea to the I i ' northern line where the forests van- a . v.: ish. They are reindeer herders, fishermen and hunters of seal. It is C i } r through their surpluses in these t three things that they come into con- s tact with the Russian trader, who r '{ visits them in their far northern cen- 9 v tres, or whom they make long jour- i: neys to visit to the city of Archangel, c Reindeer skins, seal skins, furs, fish t '' ' ^ *'' i and' reindeer meat are sold by the s Samoyeds to their Russian neigh- s ? kan f"Rn-ccinn official and the t ; l/VIO) 1V1 bUV A* ! tV Russian trader is established in F widely scattered outposts here in the h north country, isolated from the F world, many hundreds of miles from c railroads, telephones and telegraphs, ^ fv;4 and beyond the reach of the press, c ' "The Yurak Samoyeds, the branch which dwells in European Russia, it a - > estimated, counts in all only about t 6?000. - Of these, 5,000 live in the t European tundra. In build they are ^ . short and stocky, with faces much I more flattened than the Finns, with t ? . thick lips, black hair, flat noses and t t dark complexions. They are said to r he a fearless and warlike people, though it is generations since they S have given any evidence of aggres- r sive temperament. In their dealing i with the stranger, they are described t as miltl and scrupulously honest. c v' . i * ^ i . "*.?ar"h4-ir t^ixrOTC! HItA thft Psnhora.

In the brief summer and S | - spring times, these streams, thawing i much sooner in their southern I & x sources sweep, in turbulent floods i over the flat lands bordering their a lower reaches. Of roads through the t tundra there are almost none, and f'-V such as exitt are passable only for 1 Lf ' the hardy reludeer and the all-endur= t ing little horses of the north. Small I [ ; - - ' villages and human habitations are < hundreds of miles apart, and, then, a often, are merely post-stages, which 1 the Russian government has estab- < |L lished for the transportation of mails J and rare passengers beyond the con- t I fines of civilization to such far places < ; t * > : as the village Aschino. 1 0 "The Samoyeds are a poor people, < mostly, and very thrifty.

There is an ancient proverb, now, ? * alas, almost meaningless, which says W that "he who loves noise must buy a pig." Today the lover of noise 2r v, -l * must have only two' ears, perhaps even one would be sufficient, in order to get a very full measure of the thing he desires. When the warm weather comes the windows go up and the roaring waves of sound flash in. Various kinds of clangs, cachinations, creaks, cries, clatters and ctrivo fnr masterv in a strid tJVi 4 > v -.w- - v ?nt competition. Were a deaf person to be seen putting a trumpet to the ear we should feel tempted to say, as did a certain politician who ; saw that thing happen when listening to an extremely stupid speech: "Look at that fool throwing away his natural advantages."?Baltimore Sun. * s .*< ' I SKETCH OF LAURENS YOUMAXS. ; Played a Man's Part in the Redemp tion of the State in '76. - < j Mrs. M. P. C. Youmans, of Fairfax chapter, U. D. C., has written :he following biographical sketch of :he late Laurens W. Youmans, of Fairfax, who played an important )art in the redemption of his State rom carpet-bag rule and later suc:eeded in placing his adopted couny on a sound financial basis: j Laurens \V. Youmans was born at >tony Run plantation, old Beaufort * listrict, near Gillisonville, on the 3th of October, 1844. On his ? ather's side he was of English de icent, the family having migrated J rom England to Barbadoes and hence to South Carolina in early olonial days. On his mother's side lis family was Scotch-Irish. He was ? educated in Miss Sweat's school, then a Gillisonville academy, and there ? vere quite a number of children to ?j >e educated, his father moved to 2 Columbia, and Laurens was entered X j it the boys' academy. At the age X f 17 he entered the South Carolina ? ollege where he remained only three ? nonths, as the State seceded and ? ras calling for volunteers. 2 He enlisted as a private in Com- ^ >any F, Third regiment, South Caro- X ina cavalry, April 12, 1862. He was ? tationed on the coast and came ? iear being captured at Newport, Ga. < 'he camp was surprised in the night 2 ,nd he was awakened by the noise >f shooting and the bark from the X afters falling in his face. He ran > o the door and saw Yankee soldiers. ? Jailing his brother, Edward, to fol- * ciw he ran off in his night clothes 2 ill he reached the protection of ; he woods where he had his horse. X lis brother EdWard was captured ; nd died on Morris Island. ? After this be was transferred to * Jompany H, First regiment, South 2 Jarolina Volunteers, in which he J erved until the close of the war, sur- X enderine at ADDromattox on the f ith of April, 1865. At the break- ? Qg of the breastworks at Peters- ; iurg he was wounded in the thigh I! ut continued with the war till the urrender. After being paroled he ?! tarted to Lynchburg to seek his ; irother, Albert, who was in the hos- ? lital there. The flat boat in which g ie was attempting to cross the Ap- I! omatox was overturned by a pair J if mules and a loaded wagon. He t < sras thrown into the river but sue ; eeded in swimming ashore. ? Having found his brother, whose g im was broken, they started on II heir weary march from Lynchburg J o the Trowell place near Fairfax. ?! i rhere his family was encamped. ; laving to refugee^from their home ? o escape Sherman's army, their plan- g ation being destroyed, his father had I! ented this place. The whole economic system of the ?! louth having been destroyed, Lau- ; ens Youmans began life as a far- ? < uer at Black Creek, Hampton coun- ? y, determined by necessity to this I! >ccupation. From there he moved o Duck Branch plantation and was ; ictive in the redemption of the > >tate in 1876.- He was a lieutenant g n H. W. Richardson's company of 5 led Shirts, which was instrumental n preserving order in the county ?! ind securing Democratic returns at he election. He was a member of the Wallace louse and an active participant in 3 ;he events which secured to the peo- 2 >le of South Carolina the liberty of jontrolling their own governmental iffairs. After the inauguration of iVade Hampton as governor, he was jommissioned major on his staff. He served in the house two terms and in the senate one term and continued to ixercise a lively interest in the poli- b ;ics of the State, particularly as they iffected the farmer and cotton 2 planter. His last public service was is county commissioner of Barnwell county, which position he filled gratis, to enable the county to get E 3ut of debt. Having been called to many places, tie so well filled them all that those who knew him could say, "He was i man." On the 20th of February, 1908, he was called to his Father, and was buried among his people in the Lawtonville cemetery in Hampton county. i 8 GETS THREE WEEKS* PAROLE. M. M.
