POST OFFICE IMPROVEMENTS.
Our Ealerperlslog Postmaster Purchases
Up-to-Date Fixtures
Postmaster Jacobs went to
. Georgetown last week to purchase
the set of fixtures formerly
used in the Georgetown post\
office. These fixtures cast about
*1 ,200 originally and were in use
oniy about a year. Pending the
construction of his brick building
on the present site of the
office (and the wooden store
adjoining) the po^toffice will
fee kept in the building now
occupied as the furniture
department of the Kingstree
Hardware Co., and the new tix

there. Some idea of what these
fixtures are may be gained from
the fact that they include 400
lock boxes, when there are in
the present outfit only forty. Of
course the latter number is
* * J A ?1 .. 4-V,^
wnouy inadequate luauppj mc
demand now existing, but in the
-new fixtures Postmaster Jacobs
makes a liberal provision for
future expansion based on the
-marvelous growth that Kingstree
has enjoyed within the past
few years.
In this connection we may say
that Mr Jacobs has received
advices from the postofflce
department reducing box rents
-as follows, effective April 1: Call
iboxes from 30c to 20c a quarter;
Jock boxes, small, from 50c to
-35c, lock boxes, medium, from
75c to 45c, lock boxes, large,
from 75c to 60cc. This substantial
reduction ought to increase
the number of lock boxes rented
at least 50 per cent.
. KBBBEB KILLED AT COLUMBIA.
But Merchant Who Slays Him Is Himself
Murdered.
'Columbia, March 10:? Au at
tempt to waylay and rob Charlie B.
Green, a Shandou merchant, resulted
hi the death of Mr. Green and ol
the would-be robber, who was identified
as Edgar Marshall, son of Mr.
P. G. Marshall, an eminently respectable
and highly respected citizen
of Columbia. The robbery and
double homicide took place within
.sight of Mr. Greeu's home, in the
suburb of Shandou, shortly before
midnight Saturday night. The
bodies, lying feet to feet, were not
* found for several hours, and the affair
has created a tremendous sensation
in Columbia, as it is possible
f.hat there was another robber or
robbers.
Mr F P Guerry of Central
was in to see us this morning-.
He tells us that a new postoffice
has been established called Zed
?
at the store of S A Guerry &
Jiro. There has teen no postoffice
iu that neighborhood for some
f years and we dare say that it
will prove a great convenience.
Record subscribers who want
their papers transferred to the
new office will kindly advise us
and we will make the change.

WOMAN'S PERFIDY.
Tha Way It W3S First Disclosed to
George Brandes.
In his young manhood George
Brando? lived almost entire!)' in ihe
life of the intellect. Once lie missed
keeping an engagement with a
girl because he v.as absorbed in Hegel's
philosophy at the time when
he ought to have been at the trysting
place. He tells about it in his
"Recollections:*' "With a passionate
desire to roach a comprehension of
truth. I grappled with the system,
began with the encyclopedia, read
the throe volumes of '.Esthetics,'
the 'Philosophy of Law.' the 'Philos?
1? -i' IT i Plmnnnmnrtii.
UfMlV Ul 11iv" ? m< i.wu.v......
ology of the Mind,' then the 'Philosophy
of Law' again and finally the
'Logic.' the 'Natural Philosophy'
and the 'Philosophy of the Mind' in
a veritable intoxication of comprehension
and delight. One day when
a young girl toward whom I felt attracted
had asked me to go and say
good by to her before her departure
I forgot the time, her journey and
my promise to her over mv Hegel.
As I walked up and down my room
I chanced to pull my watch out of
my pocket and realized that I had
missed my appointment and that
the girl must have started long
yy
ago.
Once before in earlier days had
he missed another engagement with
* tt
anotner young iaav, one neurreuu.
For the sake of Henrietta's beautiful
eyes and under those eyes he
had soundly thrashed another little
boy. Then Henrietta asked him if
he would meet her the same evening
under the old bay tree. Dr. Brandes
writes: "When we met she had two
long straps with her and at once
asked me somewhat mockingly and
dryly whether I had the courage to
let myself be bound. Of course I
said I had, whereupon very carefully
and thoroughly she fastened my
arms together with one strap. Could
I move my arms? No. Then with
eager haste she swung the other
strap and let it fall on my back
again and again.
"My first 'smart jacket' was a
well thrashed one. She thoroughly
enjoyed exerting her strength. Naturally
my boyish ideas of honor
would not permit me to scream or
complain. I merely stared at her
with the profoundest astonishment.
She gave me no explanation, released
my hands, we each went our
own way, and I avoided her for the
rest of my stay." Then Henrietta
went away and told people. "This,"
says Brandes, "was my first experience
of woman's perfidy. This was
j my first real experience of feminine
nature."
No Quail For Him.
"Quail, villain!" He pointed his
trusty shooting iron at the head of
the man who had been treating the
beautiful maiden to a job lot of general
wickedness ever since the curtain
went up.
"At last I have thee! Quail!"
But, contrary to the direction in
act 3, scene 2, the villain stood his
ground.
"Quail, I tell thee! Why dost not
quail ?"
"Can't risk it on 30 bob a week,"
quoth the villain, with a defiant
sneer saved over from the first act,
"because, forsooth, quail is legally
out of season, and I see a gamekeeper
in the audience."
Then he kicked over an Alp, waded
through the bay of Naples, fell
into the thunder and only stopped
in his mad flight to remark to tilt
manager that an actor with a reputation
must decline to play on that
stage, as there were flies on it.?

to speak until he had thought three
times. One day the old gentleman
was standing with his back to a fireplace
and his coattail dangerously
near the bars. The lawabiding son
was in the room and suddenly jumped
off his chair.
"Father," he said, with wonderful
deliberation, "I think"?
"Well, what do you think?" was
the reply. .
'Tather," repeated the youth, "I
think"?
"Well, well, my son, what do you
think ?" said the father.
'Tather," again the boy remarked.
"I think"?
"Well, well, what do you think?"
said the father impatiently.
"I think your coattail is on fire!"
Her Compliment.
"Well, goodby, Mr. Green. It
was so nice of you to come. It does
father such a lot of good to have
some one to talk to."
"I was delighted to come, Miss
Brown, but I'm not much of a conversationalist."
"My dear Mr. Green, don't let
that trouble you. Father's ideal listener
is an absolute idiot, with no
conversation whatever, and I know
he has enjoyed himself tremendously
tonight."

BIBLICAL MYRRH.
You May Buy It and Frankincense In
the Drug Stores.
A druggist recently gave a Sunday
school teacher a shock that he
is not likely soon to forget, says the
St. Louis Globe-Democrat. While
seated at the soda fountain the;
teacher was delivering a lecture concerning
how much the world had
forgotten since ancient times and |
how well it would be if we - oJ-j
learn something more about the
articles of everyday use, for instance.
mentioned in tiie Bibie.
"Now, there's gold, frankincense
and myrrh," he said, "that the wise
men brought from the east. Of
course we all know about gold, but
who knows anything about frankincense
< ; myrrh
"We've got 'em for sale right
here," said the druggist, reaching
for a bottle, which he placed on the
counter before the astonished lecturer.
"Here's your frankincense,
and," setting down another bottle,
"here's your myrrh. Now, while
I think of it," bringing a third bottle,
"here's your manna too. They
ate all gums. .Myrrh is the dried
sap of a genus of trees and shrubs
growing in Arabia, Persia and India;
incense is composed in great
part of the olibanum gum, the sap
of a tree which grows in Arabia all
along the Red sea coast, on the east
coast of Africa and in great abundance
in India.
"To make the incense used in the
churches the olibanum is sometimes
mixed with mvrrh, cascarilla
and storax, also an oriental gum.
The shrubs producing myrrh are
found all around the Mediterranean,
the best qualities coming from Sicily.
The manna of the drug store
is also a kind of gum, an exudation
from several varieties of small trees
and shrubs growing in Arabia and
here and there through southern
Asia. The monks of Mount Sinai
pack 600 or 800 pounds of manna
every season.
"Both myrrh and manna are often
used in compounding prescriptions,
and incense, of course, is in constant
demand in the churches. It
is rather curious, however, that during
all the r nturies from the time
when the Jews marched out of
Egypt myrrh, incense and manna
have year by \ir been collected and
sent to Europe from the same countries
in wh'^h they are first mentioned
and that the incense burned
in our chuivnes today is of the same
kind and comes from the same
places as that which smoked in
Aaron's censer."
He wasn't Excited.
In Sulli\ ountv, X. Y., a story
is told which '-.^d to do with a man
who was pieaing blackberries when
he saw a hi.. .. jear coming *his way,
nose to ground and, as he
thought, to ing his trail. He
put the bucket down hurriedly and,
selecting a handy tree, made for it
with the intention of shinning up
to a nice ;.^ng limb, prepared to
stand a siege. Along came the bear,
head down. It passed the half filled
berry bucket without seeing it,
passed the tree without taking notice
of the man's scent and wen-: on
down the path until it was out of
sight. "Now," thought the man,
"is the time for me to beat it for
home," but when he moved as if to
climb down from his lofty perch he
found that in reality he was 6it;ing
on the ground with his arms and
legs wrapped around the tree trunk.

Origin of the Rothschilds.
The founder of the Rothschild
family, Amschel Moses Rothschild,
kept a coin store at 153 Judengt sse,
of Jewish quarter, Frankfort on the
Main. Before this shop was displayed
a red shield; hence the name
Rothschild. Amschel dealt in curiosities,
art goods and old gold and
silver. His son, Mayer Amschel,
was born in 1743 and died in 11112.
He, like his father, continued in the
coin business. In the course of his
coin business he met a collector,
the court banker to the landgrave
of Hesse. This banker was so impressed
by Mayer's business ability
that he loaned him money for investment,
and it was in this way
that the great banking firm of
Rothschild was established.?Elder
Monthly.
His Compliment.
Praise from a husband's lips is always
pleasant to the wife, but the
praise may be too discriminating to
suit her.
"I thought it was nice of you to
tell that carpenter, who seemed to
think women know nothing, that I
could 'hammer nails like lightning,'
" said Mrs. Morse to her husband.
"But I'm arfraid, dear, you
are not an unprejudiced judge. I
really don't think I'm such a very
good hammerer."
"Oh, he knew what I meant," said
Mr. Morse cheerfully. "You know
lightning never strikes twice in the
same place, they say."

AUTHORS.' HANDWRITING.
Jules Janin Would Rather Rewrite
Than Read His Manuscript.
Charlotte Bronte's handwriting
seemed to have been traced with a
needle, and the penmanship of Bryant
was aggressive, well formed and
decidedly pleasing to the eye.
Thackeray's writing was marvelously
neat and precise, but it was so
small that microscopic eyes were
needed to read it. Longfellow
wrote a bold, open backhand which
was the delight of printers.
The handwriting of Captain Marryat
was so microscopic that when
he rested from his labors he was
obliged to mark the place where he
left off by sticking a pin in the paper.
Napoleon's handwriting was
worse than illegible. It is said that
his letters from Germany to the
Empress Josephine were at first taken
for rough maps of the seat of
war.
Much of Carlyie's temperament
may be read in lii> linndwritirig. He
wrote a patient, crabbed, oddly emphasized
hand. The chiroerraphy of
Walter Scott, Leigh Hunt, Moore
and Gray was easy to read and ran
smoothly. It was not expressive of
any especial individuality, however.
The writing of Dickens was minute,
and the author's habit of writing
with blue ink upon blue paper, with
frequent erasures and interlineations,
made his copy a burden to
his publishers. Byron's handwriting
was a mere scrawl. His additions
in his proofs often exceeded
in volume the original copy. To
one of his poems which contained
only 400 lines in the original 1,000
lines were added in the proofs.
One day a distressed compositor
appeared at the house of Jules Janin
and besought him to decipher
some pages of his own manuscript.
Janin replied that he would rather
rewrite than attempt to read over
what he had once written.
Few printers could read the copy
of Balzac, and those who could invariably
made a strict agreement
with their employen^jat they would
be required to woriBu it only one
hour at a time. Even after the
hieroglyphics had been translated
into print the proof sheets came
back more illegible than the orig
inal copy.
While having his house repaired
Rufus Choate had promised to send
to the builder the model for a
carved mantelpiece. Failing to obtain
exactly the kind of mantelpiece
that he wanted, Choate wrote to hi3
workman to that effect. The carpenter
eyed the missive from all
sides and finally decided that it
must be the promised plan. Forthwith
he set to work to fashion what
would have been the most original
mantelpiece ever made.?New York
Tribune.
Tho Gypsie* of Hungary.
Hungary is the home of the
Tziganes in so far as they have any
home. In all other European countries
they were persecuted for centuries,
but in the fifteenth century
the Hungarians took pity on them.
There are about 150,000 Tziganes
in Hungary, and, with few exceptions,
they are musicians. The typical
Tziganes may best be seen near
the Croatian frontier in the district
of Nagy-Karped. Their camps are
always set up at some distance from
the town or village and if possible
near a forest. Their huts have but
one room and are devoid of furniture.
Tziganes take their meala
and sleep on the bare boards. Many
unsuccessful attempts have been
made to restrain the Tziganes. The
Emperor Joseph II. once allotted
land and ordered them to cultivate
their acres. They turned theii
houses into stables, set up tents
near by for their own use, and to
prevent the corn given them foi
seed from sprouting they boiled it.
Method In Her Submission.
"I'd like a transfer for Fourteenth
street," she said meekly to the conductor.
"I can't give you one now, madam,"
he returned fiercely. "You
should have asked for it whoa you
paid your fare."
"Oh, very well," said she.
"He's a hateful old thing," declared
her friend, who sat by her.
"I wonder you took his sauce so
quietly. Now you'll have to pay
another fare. Why didn't you ask
for it when you paid your fare anyway
?"
"Because," she answered, "I have
not paid my fare." ? New York

Gcod Service.
"Was that a serious call?" asked
the nervous citizen.
"No," answered the driver of the
ambulance that had dashed madlj>
down the street. "The case was
not serious, but our trip was not in
vain. We did good service on the
return trip, picking up the pedestrians
we had run into and people
who had been thrown out by horses
we scared."?Washington Star.
