Letter From Wedgefield. WEDGEFIELD, February 13, 1894. Mr. A. D. Kicker's store at Stateborg was barned on th? morning of the 7th about 4 o'clock. Mr. Kicker had recently sold out his entire stock of goods and rented bis store to Mr. E. H. Alley who had moved bis family in toe building, and consequently lost not only bis stock of goods, but all of bis bouse, hold furniture, ioclnding piano, organ, etc. Mr. Alley went with his wife to Sumter the day before intending to return in the after* noon, bat his wife was taken sick, which necessitated their spending the night there, and no one at all was in tbe house when it caught. The fire is supposed to be of incen? diary origin. Mr. Alley sustains a total loss of $2,000, with no insurance. The building, I am informed was covered by insurance. So far no trace of evidence bas been foond to prove who broke into Mr. B. P. Kelley's smoke boase on the night of the 3d instant. It was a mistake about Jimmie Richardson getting killed while at work in a lumber yard in Charleston, as reported last: week. He was ia the employ of the Government at work on tbe jetties, when/ the derrick broke and onepowoo Won jfem wraf*result re? ported. Mr. W. T. Dixon came from England about titree years ago, and since that time be bas been "io the timber business in Wateree Swamp. He bas recently added to bis busi? ness the getting of Holly logs, which he ships direct to Europe, via Baltimore. He cannot ship via Charleston for the reason that they could not be's hipped directly from Charleston to Europe. Mr. Dixon shipped a carload to-day, of 46 logs, measuring from 16 to 21 inches io diameter. Holly is a very vaina ble wood. Wheo dry it polishes like ivory and is about as bard. What a great pity our Southern people will not have more enterprise about them? We all the time are poor, poor, and we deserve to be BO. This is tbe first time I ever beard of any wood being shipped from South Carolina directly . to Europe. M. Dixon is a live, energetic man and fall of enthusiasm. I was glad to hear him say to-day that tbe South had a bright future, but it i? a source of great regret that . Englishmen have to come here to develop ber resources. There was given a wbist party at the resi? dence of Mr. A. E. Aycock on last Friday evening. Mrs. Correy and ber daughter left a few days ago for Brooklyn, N. Y., her home, bot will remain there only a short while before leaving for a visit to Berlin, Paris and otber places of interest beyond the dark blue sea. Divine service may be expected at States borg at 11:30 a. m., and at Wedgefield at 4 p. m., on Thursday of this week, also at same bears oa aext Sauday, Rev. J. S. Hartzell, officiating. A great deal of cotton is being shipped to-day by a few of oar neighbors who have been holding for better prices. We are sorry to hear that the condition our friend Mr. V. R. Pingle remain about the same. Ionia Items. IONIA, S. C., Feb. 12, 1894. We are having 'some rainy weather now. The farmers are mostly. op with their work. Ooe or two of them are tal king about plaotiog an acre or so of corn this mooth. Miss Agnes Richardson's school will be oat oo Friday next. She will then go to ber home in Sumter. Miss lillie Galloway spent a week with friends mar Bishopville. Miss Irene Galloway bas bad the grippe. Miss Mamie Chewoiag and Mr. L. A. Lee were married oo the 7th inst., at 3 o'clock in toe. afternoon. We congratulate them and hope them a loog aod happy life. Mr. Barry Hancock, of this community, . died a few weeks ago. He leaves a wife and children. Ber. Peter Stokes did not preach at Salem yesterday; it was so rainy the congregation did not torn ont. 1 Mr. H. L. Boykio has caught two or three otters in his traps. Their skins are very valaable. D. N. M. Frances winard on Marriage. One of Frances Willard's intimate friends says that the great temperance leader is personally a lovely woman with delicate features and dainty hands, and that her evident fascination for men of taste is very evident. A gifted man once wrote to ier, "Dear friend, methinks your heart deceives you, for when we meet, though you hardly look at me, you speak kindly, and ? take this as a token." To which she replied, "Dear brother, this is the explanation : I had a clear and direct gaze until study weakened my eyes, and I protect them now by studying the carpet." So uaffectedly kind and cordial to all mankind is this famous lady that many of them have paid her the compliment of offering her their hearts and hands. Indeed so numerous and importunate are her love letters that it is necessary to have them answered by her secretaries with the statement that she has no time for other than business correspondence. Some of these letters of late date prove that age cannot wither nor custom stale her infinite variety. Still, Miss Wil? lard has a high opinion of men in gen? eral, though she has never honored any man with her hand, and, to quote her own words, 44 If there is a spectacle more odious and distasteful than a mane who hates women, it is a woman who hates men. '' Hert heory of marriage m relation to society gives this postulate, "Husband and wife are one, and that one is-husband and wife.'* The Most Stubborn Jury Yet. The most remarkable case in Texas legal history was tried at Oakland be? fore Justice English-Mrs. Ella Hallo way versus J. H. Van Alstyne. The case consumed the day and was given to the jury at night. Before retiring the jury demanded that each man be paid his 50 cent fee. The justice de? murred and ordered them to bring in a verdict, or they would get no fee. The jory retired, and in 15 minutes entered court. They had a sealed verdict. Before turning it over to the justice the jury struck for their hard earned fees. Under protest the justice gave each juror 50 cents. He opened the ver? dict, which read, "The jury cannot agree." This enraged the court He demanded the 50 cents each juror had been paid. The jury refused, and the . court ordered them locked up until a verdict was given pro or con. After being out another hour the jury reported they were still unable to agree. Judge English then demanded the re? run} of the fees. The jurors refused to surrender, and a fine of $2.50 each was assessed and #their incarceration order? ed. A compromise was finally reached by four of the jury returning the fees j and the other two paying the fine of j $2.50. The higher courts will bein- i flicted with the case.-St. Louis Globe- ? Democrat. WASHINGTON'S STATE DINNERS. They Were Very Solemn Affairs, Accord? ing to ar. Ancient Annalist. Washington's state dinners must have been exceedingly solemn affairs if fhey were all like the description of the fol? lowing, which is found in the ancient diary of Senator Maclay, one of the first two representatives of the state of Penn? sylvania in the United States senate: "Thursday, Aug. 27, 1789-A little after 4 o'clock I catted upon Mr. Bassett of Delaware state, and we went to the president's for dinner. "The company were President and Mrs. Washington, Vice President and Mrs. Adams, Governor Mif??in and his wife, Mr. Jay and wife, Mr. Langdon and wife, Mr. Dalton and a lady (per ! haps his wife), Bassett, myself, Lee Lew [ is and the president's two secretaries. "The president and his wife sat oppo? site each other in the middle of the table; the two secretaries, one at each end. It was a great dinner and the best of the kind I ever was at. The room, however, was disagreeably warm. "First were soup, fish, roasted and baked meats, gammon, fowl, etc. This was the dinner. The middle of the table was garnished in the usual tasty way, with small images, artificial flowers, etc. The dessert was fruit, apple pies, pud? ding, etc., then ice cream, jelly, etc., then watermelons, muskmelons, apples, peaches and nuts. "It was the most solemn dinner I was ever at Not a health drank, scarce a word said until the cloth was taken away. Then the president, filling a glass of wine, with great formality drank the health of every individual around the table. Everybody imitated him, changed glasses, and such a buzz of 'Health, sir,' 'Health, madame,' 'Thank you, sir,' and 'Thank yon, madame,' I had never heard before. "The ladies sat a good while, and the bottle passed about, but there was a dead silence almost Mrs. Washington atlast withdrew with the ladies. I expected the mien would now begin, but the same silence remained. The president told of a New England clergyman who had lost his hilt and wig in passing a river called the Bronx, and he smiled, and everybody else laughed. "He now and then said a sentence or two on some common subject, and what he said was not amiss. Mr. Jay tried to make a laugh by mentioning the carica? ture of the Duchess of Devonshire as? sisting in carrying on Fox's election., "The president kept a fork in his hand when the cloth was taken away, I thought for the purpose of picking nuts. He ate none, bat played with the fork, striking on the edge of the table. We did not sit long after the ladies retired. The president rose and went upstairs to drink coffee. The company followed, j I took my hat and went home."-New York Herald. The Maxim Airship. Li a conversation with H. J. W. Dam, reported in McClure's Magazine, Hiram S. Maxim, inventor of the Maxim air? ship, said: "The principle I have worked on, gen? erally speaking, is that of the kite. That large cloth frame at the top of the mod? el is the aeroplane, or main kite surface. The lesser aeroplane above the platform or car, the side aeroplanes or wings and the nat pointed rudders fore and af t are designed to furnish additional kite sur? face. It is necessary to make it, howev? er, so that we can run it in a calm against the air, thus making our own wind, as it were, and for this purpose I have a railway track, and instead of cords to hold the kite against the wind I employ a pair of powerful screw propel? lers driven by a steam engine. "In this manner I can drive the ma? chine exactly as I please, can ascertain exactly how much the push of the screws is, and at the same time find out exactly how much the machine lifts at different speeds. The machine is, in fact, a big kite. Should I'fly it in the air with a cord during a strong gale and then run my engines, I should be able to find out how fast they would have to run in order to take all the pull off the cord. As soon as the cord became slack, the machine would be flying with its own engine power." _ Steamship Shaft Indicators. One of the most notable marine de? vices in the engine room of first class steamships is an arrangement by which ! tiie engineers are enabled to know wheth- | er that part of the shaft which extends I outside the ship's hold is working smooth- : ly or not In all twin screw ships this rons through a sort of tunnel fastened j to the ship with big brackets. Of course | it is impossible to get at this shaft dur- I ing a voyage. On the Paris, for in- j stance, this is said to be 40 feet long. To j meet the objection in question a little, j fine tube is made to pass along the top ! of the shaft which runs inside the ship, | just over the shaft, and water is con- j stantly running through this tube in a fine stream. The engineer on watch fre- ! quently tries the temperature of this ! water with bis hand, so that if the water were warm he would know at once that something was wrong with the working of the shaft and it would be slowed down, j or this not remedying the troublo the j engines on that side would be stopped.- ? New York Sun. Spokane's Elastic Social Function. Spokane society dotes on receptions. A reception is the most elastic^ conven? ient social affair imaginable. Just a little stretching of the rules will make it a grand ball, a concert, a banquet or a prayer meeting. It can be adjusted to i the crowd, the weather, the political sit- | nation or anything else. The only trou? ble with these receptions is that a guest never knows whether to take a prayer book or a copy of Hoyle with him when J he starts to the meeting.-Spokane Chron? icle. _ Her Judgment Was Good. Because a Washington farmer could not marry a particular girl he willed her his money and then blew his head off. Evidently he thought her excellence of judgment entitled to recognition.-San Francisco Examiner. Hair cut from the heads of dead wo- I wen never proves satisfactory, an expe- ? fenced hairdresser having no difficulty in detecting it. i Suicides In France. I The minister of justice has just pub lished some statistics of suicides which are not without interest. They show an average of 4 per cent for males ! under 20 years of age and of 32 per i cent for men over 60. Of suicides cf females, on the other hand, 9 per cent were those of girls under 20, while there were not more than 27 per cent for women over 60 years of age. Twen? ty-six per cent of the suicides were at? tributed to mental derangement and 20 to physical suffering. Drunkenness is held responsible for 12 per cent and love affairs for 4. Most of the men had recourse to the rope, while the women preferred death by drowning, though some took poison, which seems to be altogether eschewed by the sterner sex. Strangely enough, suicides are far more frequent in the spring and summer than during the colder months, which leads to the in? ference that want, which is much more prevalent in the winter than in the oth? er seasons, is not the usual cause of these sad determinations to be rid of life.-Paris Letter in London Tele? graph. Greetings In the Fast. The Hindoos in Bengal, when greet? ing, touch their forehead with the right hand and bend their head forward. As a mark of profound obeisance they place their right hand first on their breast, then on the ground and lastly on their forehead, while calling them? selves the "obedient slaves" of the ob? ject of their adulation. In Ceylon a man will prostrate himself on the ground before his superior, incessantly repeating the names and titles of the latter. In the east, and more especially among the Mongols, most styles of Sal? utation bear the impress of servile dis? position. In China if two persons un horseback happen to meet, the inferior dismounts and stands waiting for the other to pass. In Japan a man of low degree must, in the presence of his su? perior, take off his sandals, thrust his right hand into the left sleeve, let his arms slide slowly down to his knees, walk past the other with measured tread, and exclaim in tones of abject terror, "Augh, augh!" ("Do me no harm"). -Lander und Valkerkunde. Judge Hen ry H. Goldsborough, Baltimore, Md. says: "It gives me pleasure to recom? mend Salvation Oil to any one suffering from rheumatic or other pains." When traveling, always take a cake of Johnson's Oriental Soap with you; diseases are often caught from using hotel soap. Sold by Dr. A. J. China. A Quarter Century Test.
