A PERPETUAL CALENDER. The Ingenious Invention of Mr. See. H. McGee Now on the Market. Our readers will remember seeing in The News sometime ago a description of the perpet ual calender which Mr. Geo. H. McKee has invented and pa tented. The calender is now on the market. Mr. McKee, to- « ether with Messrs Geo. B. towle and A. 8 Harrell, of this county, have formed a company for the purpose of manufactur ing and selling the calendar. The company is called ^“Nov elty Manufacturing Company” j and its offices are over Welling & Bonnoit's store. The calen dars are made of natural brass and nickel. Messrs Smith & Egge.of Bridgeport,Conn., man ufacture them, but all the too's necessary for the work, which are very costly and about one hundred and fifty in number, are the property, of the com pany. One of the first offers received for the sale of the calendar is from the elevated railroad com panies in New York, which de sire to sell them at their stations throughout the city. The cal endars are being manufactured as fait as possible and, as soon us a sufficient number are made to warrant it, a corps of agents, whose services have already been secured, will canvass the United States. The first lot have been received and are now on sale in Darlington. The neatness, durability ard, above all, the great usefulness of the calendar will ensure a ready sale. OFF FOR THE PENITENTIARY.

IN SELF DEFENSE. A Bad Negro Fatally Shot by a Young White Boy. Sumter, S. C., Nov. 17.— Lawrence Washington, the ne- ( fro who was shot on Monday >y Wm. Reames, died to-day. The tragedy took place on the line between Sumter and Claren don counties. The particulars of the affray are as follows : Young Reams, while out hunt ing, was met by Washington, who demanded that Reames should hand over his gun. This Reames emphatically re fused to do ; whereupon Wash ington picked up a stick of wood and said he would force him to do so. Reames retreat ed for about one hundred yards. The negro continued to follow, in a hostile manner. About this time they had come where Reames’s mother was standing, but instead of desisting, the ne gro continued to demand, with abusive language, the surrender of the gun. Reames says that at this instant he was afraid Wash ington was going to hit him with the club that he still held, and for this reason he fired. The gun was loaded with squir rel shot, and the whole load took effect in the negro’s head. Washington was a negro of tremendous frame and a very turbulent disposition. Reames, on the other hand, is quiet small physically and a very quiet hoy. Reames was in town to-day, and will give himself up on his return to Manning. "THE STATES GREATEST HERO.” Hampton Spoken of for the Office of In- ter.State CommerceCommissioner. [The State.) The Augusta Evening Herald, in an article on Wade Hamp- 1 ton’s Sumter speech, calls him ; “the State’s greatest hero” and j adds : “Though Gen. Hampton says that his life work is done, we venture to disagree with him. ! His last days may be his best, and they may he spent in the r service of his country. He will ! survive in the memory of after ages as one of the most heroic of South Carolinians. He has advanced and illustrated his an cestry. There will come to his South Carolina brethren ‘the late remorse of love.’ Though he has sought and seeks no office, the new President could do no more graceful act than to bestow a worthy position upon him unsought.” The Spartan burg Herald says, regarding the suggestion by The State of his name for Inter-State Cor - merce Commissioner, “t'ie whole State would feel gratified at the selection should Presi dent Cleveland recognize the qualities which render this dis tinguished Carolinian especially fitted for this important office.” What do our other contempora ries say of The State's nomina tion? THE MYSTERV UNRAVELED. A &***+ Mftft Dlriae* tb« RiH»on of a T; * mviulon* Blockade. “What iaitT' “Who i» hortf’ “Anybody been rtin over?" “I* it a man in a fit':" High above tho oeaaeletii rumble and roar of traffic rose human voice* in anx- ion* inquiry, and the dense throng at the intenertion of H'ate and Madison street* grew denser still. It waa just before sunset, and the mighty heart of Chi cago’s business center throbbed with the feverish energy that marked the closing hours of another day of toil, and the hurrying homeward of restless, eager thonsands. Die swiftly moving streams of humanity that are wont to meet in eddying whirls in this dizxy vortex and then diverge and move onward again, each in its destined coarse, had sudden ly become blocked and chaoa reigned. Pushed toward ihe common center by the ever hurrying throngs afoot, in car riages and in street cars, and unable to extricate themselves, men, women and children gasped for breath, and the crowd in the street* and on the ride- walks overflowed into alleys and surged hither and yon like the resistless ebb and flow of a mi} hty sea. A policeman on the outskirts of th* dense throng climbed a l&mppoat, and from his elevates, position surveyed the scene. “Give him air,” he shouted sternly, waving his clnb. “Give him air!" “What’s the matter?" inquired a hun dred voices as he climbed down. “I don’t know," heanswered, and with gloomy, lowerini brow he strutted up the street, disai peared down a short flight of stairs, fiom which a few mo ments later he emerged, wiping his month, and in tl;e same stern, nncora- promising way ho walked a block far ther and sent in i. fire alarm. Meanwhile the surging multitude at State and Madisrn grew every moment more appalling and inextricable. Something mnrt be done. Fiercely elbowing his way through the crowd, a newspaper reporter at last was seen bearing down toward the cen ter of the compa. t mass. His hat was off, his hair flying in the wind, and his face was deathly pale, bnt with set teeth and dilated nos rils he tore his way along, thrusting to the right and left every one who 0[ poeed his progress. Reaching the c mter of the throng be seized two indivii unis by their arms, and in the same resolute, fearless way opened a passage for thim to the ontaide, and, as if by magic, the vast concourse dis solved: the conv rging streams of hu manity whirled and eddied as before, and the business heart of the great city throbbed again. The reporter h id conjectured rightly. The blockade wa < caused by two women who hail met in the exact center of the street and stopped to tell each other the troubles they w* re having with their hired girls.—Chii ago Tribune. “Very” with a Verb. “Pleased,” in the expression “very pleased,” is nothing more than the past participle passive of “please” need as an adjective. “Very,” so far as I am aware, is never used with any other part of a verb, and then only when that part has become adjective by usage. Die following quotation from Pope's “Dun- ciad” shows its use as an adjective: Thou trinmpb’st, Victor of the high wrought day. And the pleas'd dame, soft smiling, lead's! away. A similar nse of the word is when we say a person’s face has “a pleased ex pression.” This being the case it is as correct to say “very pleased” as to say “very much pleased.” Annandale’s "Im perial Dictionary.” subject “Very,” has: “Among old writers very was fre quently used alone to modify a past participle, and it is still to some extent so used; thus, Sir W. Jones has ‘very concerned;’ Gibbon, ‘very unqualified;' Sydney Smith, ‘very altered,’etc.” As there is no verb unqualify, un qualified can be i othing else bnt an ad jective, and concerned and altered come under the same p.irt of speech. When we say, “I am very pleased,” there is no action implied, but there is simply a description of tl.e state or condition in which one is at the time of speaking.— F. C. Birkbeek Terry in Notes and Queries. Her Rule of Life. Mrs. Little wa.: a woman greatly re spected in the litt le neighborhood where she lived. Her .’ritnds and neighbors often spoke of h< r knowledge of Bible teachings, and fi w were the occasions when she did not remind theg* of her attainments by s< me Iqit quotation. “How is it, Mrs Little,” asked a neigh bor one day, “that yon can always re member some suitable quotation for everything that happens?” “Oh, I don’t know,” responded the good woman with a pleased smile, "un less ’tis because I always act on what 1 say. Now, whenever I see folks provoked I jest associate it with ‘Let not the son go down upon your wrath.’ “I’ve always acted on that myself. 1 made it a rule when 1 was yonng never to let the son go t own when I was mad. And so it is wit i other things, and 1 •'pose that’s one reason I remember.”— Yonth’s Companion. A Sit,; Memory. They talked of home and family mat ters, baby's new lothes, papa's trip on the road and man: mil's visit to her moth er, while every one listened in a most in teresting manner. The trend of the conversation showed that the wife and baby were not g >ing to the depot with the happy father, ;is he declared it would be nonsense. Bm as the car neared Jef ferson street, wl ere he was to leave them, every one wondered all to himself how they would part and whether he would kiss her in front of the crowd. They were not long in doubt When Desplaincs street waa reached the drummer arose, caught up hi* baby and kissing it goodby placed it beside it* mother. He stooped down to kiss hi* wife, and the loving woman placed an arm about his neck as she said, “Now you’ll write often, won’t you?” Just then a morose individual on the op posite side of the ear, who hail evidently been absorlied in his paper, glanced over the top of it and remarked in the dried of tones, “I lost a watch doin that."— Chicago News. An Idea of flenven. On one occasion the leader of talk started the subject of the generally pre vailing ideas about heaven. After the nsnal hit at the materialistic views of the Mohammeda i, he turned to an American gentleman at the table and asked what were bis notions on the sub ject? The Yankee, with hi* slow, nasal accent and cool manner com manding attention, replied, “Waal my notion of heaven is that of a qniet, green place, without money and withont price.”—Mrs. Anthony Crus* in Temple Ror Wlien Baby waa aick, ve gave bar Caatorta.
