Orphan Work day.
There is a farnilv of 250 orphan
children at the Epworth Orphanage.
Columbia, S C., Methodist.
There are 250 orphans at the
Connie Maxwell Orphanage, Ureen urrknrt

Tbere are 250 orphans* at the
Tbcrnwell Orphanage. Clinton, S C.,
Presbyterian.
There are 50 orphans at the
Church Home, Charleston, SC.,
Episcopalian.
The Lutheran Church Home is at
Salem. Va.
The Hebrew Home is at Atlanta,
Ga.
The Koman Catholic Homes are
in Charleston, S C.
The support and care of all these
various denominational institutions,
with their large body of fatherless
children is a sufficient appeal to
every heart.
Some years ago it Mas suggested
by Rev. Howard Crumley of Atlanta, J
Ga., that on the first Saturday and 1
i Sabbath of October, all those who]
love children set apart those days
for gathering fuods to relieve the
needs of the fatherless. On that
Saturday, let everybody old and
young, rich and poor, devote the day
to the Orphanages, each man sending
hie gift to the Orphanage he loves
the best or that lies nearest his heart.
The Georgia scheme worked well.
For several years an effort has been
made to rouse an equal interest in
South Carolina, and Alabama and
Florida have also taken it up. In
every community some zealous
biOther might take up the matter
and push it and the day's work!
from everybody would go to the
orpnans. 1 ms proposition is not
in the interest of any oik- orphan- '
age; it is intended for each one to
give to tiie orphanage nearest his
hear:, (dive Saturday's wages to thej
orphans. Gather the proceeds on i
the Sabbath and forward to the,
institutions above named. It will
be sure to reach the right spot, if
jlrafts and checks are made out to
the name of the institution itself and ,
provisions shipped to the same, j.
We have no doubt that when an1
individual community makes special j
request of the railway authorities, I
flour and rice and molasses or any
other products would tind them!
willing to deliver without charge.!
Notice that this is simply a statement.
Urgent appeals are not
necessary. The orphans need help.
The institutions are unable to give
it, without the backing of the!
people. At this season all tbeii j
treasuries are greatly depleted. Do
not overlook the day.
Millions of bottles of Foley's
Honey and Tar have been sold without
any persoD ever having experienced
any other than beneficial re
suits from its use for coughs, colds
and lung trouble. This is because
the genuine Foley's Honey and Tar
in the yellow package contains no
opiates or other harmful drugs.
Guard your health by refusing any
but the genuine. W L Wallace.
Roy Saul Passes Away.
Roy Sauls, aged twenty years,
grandson of Mrs Huggins, of the
Union hotel, died yesterday afternoon
after an illness of only a few
days. He was taken sick while at
work at Schneck's drug store
Tuesday morning and was forced to
go home at once. His condition at
* . once became alarming and he gradual
. ally grew worse until the end came.
He was a ongnc youDg man almost
1 at his majority, and would have
graduated in pharmacy this year in
Atlanta where he had been attending
school for the past year.
He leaves a mother, one sister and
two brothers to mourn his loss. The

KEEP THE KID\E1S WELL.
Health is Worth Saving, and Some
Kingstrff People Kiew How
To Save It.
Many Kingstree people take their
lives in their hands b? neglecting
the kidneys when they know these "
organs need help. Sick kidneys are
responsible for a vast amount of
suffering and ill health, but there is
no need to suffer uor to remain m
danger when all diseases and aches
and pains due to weak kidneys can
be quickly and permanently cured
by the use of Doan's Kidney Pills.
Here is a Ki.;gstree citizen's recommendation.
Mrs W H Carr, E Main Street,
KiDgstree, S C., says: "My mother
speaks very highly of Doan's Kidney
Pills, having used them with the very
best of lesults. She suffered a great
deal from backache and distressing
pains across her loins and kidney regions.The
remedies she used did not
seem to helpher much and lately while
she was visiting me, I procured a
box of Doan's Kidney Pills for her
at Scott's drug store. She used them
as directed and they gave her more
relief than anything she had ever
tried. Since then she has had no
pain of any sort and her kidneys have
also been strengthened."

FACTS ABOUT COUNTIES. |
Borne of Them Are Larger Than Many
of the States.
The county is a territorial division
that the United States derived
from Croat Britain, where the counties
correspond to Die provinces or
departments of other European
countries and in a limited sense to
the states of the American Union.
An Englishman addresses a letter
to "Parkinton, Hants." as wc address
a letter to "Columbus, 0.," or
"Elmira. N. Y."
One state, which derives its '
usages from French and not from
English originals, has no counties at
all. In Ivouisiana these subdivisions
of the state are still called parishes,
both officially and in ordinary
speech, though they are now divided

chnrch.
There are about 3,000 counties in
the Union, with an average size of
about 1,000 square miles, but this
average is enormously exceeded in
many instances and is also fre- !
quently fallen below. Leaving out
certain great unsettled counties in
the west, the average county would
be about 500 square miles in ex- !
tent.
In much of the western part of '
the country the size of the county
is regulated mathematically. It consists
of sixteen townships, each composed
of thirty-six square miles,
making 570 square miles in all. In
other words, each township is six
miles square and each county twenty-four
miles square.
In Iowa there arc thirty-nine
counties that were formed in this
way, each one of which has exactly
570 square miles. Such divisions
were possible %i the newer west,
where these min > political divisions
were made in adva of settlement.

territorial arrangemcL s were largely
accidental.
The largest county in the United
States is Yavapai county, Ariz.,
which ha? an area of almost 30,000
square miles. Nine states of flic
T"nion are each smaller than this
ntv. Jt is larger that the whole
Vest Virginia jjpd almost as
* as Soutli Carolina.
.lie sixteen counties of Montana
average a greater size than the state
01 Massachusetts.
Among the other groat counties
of the Union are San Jlernardino
end San Ihego. in California, wjiirh
are not only vast regions, but eontain
a great productive territory;
Humboldt and Lincoln counties, in
Nevada, which are only sparsely
populated, and Lincoln county, N.
M., which bills fair in time to have
a large population.
Although the New England states
are small, the average size of the
counties is greater than in most
of the middle, western and southern
states. Worcester county, in Massachusetts,
is an example of an east
ern county mat is ai me same mm;
large in area and very populous. It!
is larger than the adjoining state of j
Rhode Island.
The smallest etate in the Union
ha6 the smallest county as well, j
Bristol county, R. I., has only twenty-five
square miles. At once place,
it is not more than two miles in
breadth.?New York Tribune.
8un and Earth.
The sun's greatest distance from
the earth, about July 1, i6 nearly
94.000,000 miles; his least, about
Jan. 1, rather less than 91,000,000
miles; his mean distance is about
92,333,000 miles. It may serve to
give some idea of the vaetnese of
this distance to say that a ball fired
from a thirteen inch gun at the sun i
would require thirteen years to,
reach its mark, supposing its veloci-;
ty to remain unchanged throughout
the journey. The sun'6 diameter is

French and English Teste*.
How far does the great "healthy
British public" like to see exhibitions
of the horrible ? Certainly not
like the French, for, although "Pars
has abolished the publicity of the
morgue, a French company like the
Grand Guignol can go on year after
year, and French newspapers will
publish pictures of the corpses and
all that sort of thing as English
newspapers would not dare to do.

No Broath, No Sting.
'Inhere is said to be a way to filch
from a beehive all its honey and
yet avoid being stung. All you
have to do is to hold your breath.
It is simple and easv enough, and
the only reason it has not been
tried more often is that few people
know it. Even the bullet-like hornet
cannot injure you, it i6 asserted,
if you refrain from breathing
for a moment. In this condition
you may even pick him up and
watch his stinging apparatus vainly
working in the futile attempt to
puncture your skin.

A FAMILY MIX.
The Stary at It la Racordad on tha
Tombstonea.
In tbe early part of the last century
there lived in an old New England
town a Mr. Church, who, in the course
of his pilgrimage through this vale of
tears, was bereft of four wives, all of
whom were buried in tbe same lot In
bis old age It became necessary to remove
the bodies to a aew cemetery.
This melancholy task the much bereaved
widower undertook himself,
but In the process the bones of the la
mented quartet became hopelessly
mixed. Priding: himself on possession
of a New England conscience, Mr.
Church would not, under the painful
circumstances, permit the U6e of the
original headstones, but procured new
ones, one of which bore the following
inscription: "Here lies Hannah Church
and probably a portion of Emily." Another:
"Sacred to the memory of Emily
Church, who seems to be mixed
with Matilda." Then followed these
lines:
Stranger, pauae and drop a tear.
For Emily Church lies buried here.
Mixed In eome perplexing manner
With Mary, Matilda and probably Hannah.
