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.

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.- ?

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.

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").
