In presenting the verbatim testimony
elicited at the recent investigation
cf the county dispensary
board, we are actuated first, by a
desire to give the public the
whole matter in detail, aad second,
to do justice to all the
parties concerned. This testimony
is entirely too lengthy to be given
in one issue of The Record;

we will oontinue it fiom
A
week to week until the whole is
published, and the public will be in
a position to draw its own conclusion.

hiraas to the location
of Parsons.. Sheriff Hurch found
Parsons working* with one of the
section gangs on the railroad.
He was pointed out to him by
the foreman and the sheriff approached
and asked Parsons if
he was from Darlington. He replied
that he was from Lane and
the sheriff told him that he was
the very man he was looking
for. Sheriff Burch took his man

A New Yorker wbu sometimes
rariee hit horseback riding by taking
tripe through the rail fence belt
of Long Island noticed on one each
trip a fanner sitting dejectedly on
one such fence. At the farmer's
feet was a litter of little pigs so
thin thej gave the impression of
baring bat one dimension.
' "What happened the squealers?"
the rider asked.
The fanner beckoned him to come
close, then hoarsely whispered: "Lost
my voice. Them was the fattest
pigs I ever seen. 1 used to come
out and. call 'em to me and feed 'em
three times a day. Lost my voice
and had to call 'em to grub "by rapping
with my stick on the fence.

on starting to eat one to
find that it contained a fly. Returning
to the bakery, he made an indignant

"I am sorry, sir," said the saleswoman.

IN A NEW LIGHT.
' H?>? a Different Feint of View May
Change the V.'ho'e Aspect.
Discontent or satis-faction with an
object often depends entirely on the
way in which it is regarded. A difference
in the point of view changes
the whole aspect. This truth is
well illustrated by a pleasing little
incident of Kobert Dale Owen's
childhood, told by himself in
"Threading My Way:"
year the isolated country seat
where I spent my boyhood there was
a footbridge but little more than a
mile away. For the first ten years
of iuy life I was forbidden to cross
it, and until then 1 never walked
on the turnpike road.
One day father told William and
me that he would take us to walk
over the bridge and to the other
side of the river. This was blissful
news.
He conducted us by a winding
country road up the opposite bank
of the stream. Suddenly the view
called out my youthful admiration.
Across the river appeared a large
house standing in beautiful grounds
not very distinctly seen through the
trees. Spacious gardens were aurrounded
by walls, there was a large
greenhouse, and beyond stretched a
meadow.
"Oh," I exclaimed, "what a beautiful
house, papa! Don't I wish 1
could live there! What a time we

APT OF DENTISTRY.
ft Was Practiced by the Ancients
Thousands of Years Ago.
It will Surprise many persons to
learn that fane teeth, gold caps and
fillings and dental bridge# are by
no means modern creations. Six
thousand years ago and probably
long before the dawn of Greek civilization
the skill of the dentist had
reached a high degree of perfection.
Cicero in his treatise "Go Xatura
Doorum" ascribes the invention of
tooth drawing to Aesculapius, third
of that name. The first mention of
dentistry, according to the British
Medical Journal, is found in Hippocrates,
who in several parts of
nis writings has a good deal to say
about toothache. Front the Phoenicians
the art found its way to the
Etruscans. At the international
congress held in Rome in 1000 Professor
Guerini exhibited several
specimens of dental art which proved
that something very much akin
to bridge work was practiced in ancient
Italy so efficiently tha it has
lasted thirty centuries.
Artificial crowns have alec been
found in Etruscan tombs. Artificial
dentures go back to a remote
antiquity. Dr. DenefTe states that
in the museum of the University of
Ghent there is a set of artificial
teeth found in a tomb at Orritto
with jewels and Etruscan vases. He
gives their date as from five to six
thousand years before Christ.
In a collection of antique surgical
apparatus made by Dr. Lambroe
there is an artificial denture found
in a tomb at Tanagra, near Thebes,
which is believed to belong to the
third or fourth century before the
Christian era. Teeth stopped with'
gold have been found in Greek
tombs.. In the temple of Apollo at
Delphi there was, according to Eralistratos,
a nephew of Aristotle and
physician to Selencns Nicator, king
of Syria, 354 B. C., a leaden instrument
which was used in the Extraction
of teeth. Obviously an instrument
of lead could bare been naed
inly for loose ttctb.
In the laws of the twelve tables
aade by the Roman decemvirs in
150 B. C. it was expressly forbidden
to bury or burn gold with dead bodes
except when used for wiring the
teeth, in the construction of false
teeth recourse was had by the annents
to bone and horn. Sometimes
human teeth were employed.
Benzoni found in some mummies
irtificial teeth made of sycamore.
In the first century of our era false
teeth were very common among the
Roijians.
Dentistry shared in the decay of
the arts during the middle ages,
ind we read that when St. Louis
lied in 12T0, although he was only
ifty-five, he had but one tooth in
:he upper jaw. French surgeons,
lotably Ambroise Pare, took a leadng
part in the revival of dentistry.
Louis XIWs dentist used only instruments
of gold in operating on
:he teeth of his august patient
From the time of Pare onward the
lighest dentistry was in the hands
>f surgeons, extraction being left to
barbers and quacks.

cashier torn off. A day's signatures
thus detached often amount to a

quantity of notes dealt with

are torn off the notes are
pricked off in the register and sorb

raults, where they are kept for five

!n a furnace placed in a courtyard.
Every morning at 7 o'clock this fire
is lighted, and the notes which were
received at the bank five vears previously
are consigned to the flames,

The lecturer on health had finished
his discourse and invited his
auditors to ask any questions they
chose concerning points that might
seem to need clearing up when a
lean, skinny man rose up and asked:
"Professor, what do you do when
you can't sleep at night ?"
"I usually stay awake," replied
the lecturer, "although, of course,
every one should feel at liberty to
do otherwise if he chooses. Are
there any other questions ?"
