WILLES TBE TUDA? A French Story of Leo's Bequeath lng the Papacy to Rampolla. Writing in the Journal, M. de Bon nefon tells ns that a short time ago Cardinal Eampoila prevailed upon the Pope to abdicate in his favor, and a conclave would have been summoned which, voting under the pressure of papal infallibility, would have ratified the choice by an electric pro form The secret of the intrigue came out in this way : The Vatican possesses tw printing works. One takes up 'the whole of the Sixtus V. gallery and all sorts of documents intended for ?u lication are printed here. The othe ls in a secluded building into which nobody is allowed without written leave of the Pope's major-domo. The men employed there are the safest in the world. They are all tried Catho? lics, and every year they #ive an oath not to be&ray the. secret of documents intrusted to them. A few weeks ago a high prelate, one of the State secretaries of the Vatican, brought a sealed .envelope to the confidential printing shop, and said the contents must be set np at *>nce. The men, who had other work 'to do, sent around for two of the most reliable men from the other works. These assistants were not upon their -oath. The "copy" set np by them was so amazing that one of them, who owed his position to a Cardinal now in disgrace, went and told him. The ? v story may be summed np briefly: The procedure for. the election, of a is made np of traditions, written tw and compromises. Besides this ?y Pope gives directions in his will -which affect more or less the proc?dure of his successor's election. The document referred to above was nothing less than the seventh ponti? fical will of Leo ZIEL It was a new departure, indeed in all papal tradi? tions. Leo XIII, was no longer con? tented with "bequeathing" his office tc Cardinal Rampolla, as he tried to do last year. (The scheme was made public too soon and miscarried, doc? tors in canon law having shown that such a bequest was null and void. ) 'This time the document, written out entirely in Cardinal Rsrcpolia's hand and signed by the Pope, was simply a deed of conveyance of the tiara to the ambitions Cardinal. Tho Pope, after notifying his abdication (:tn which he was, within his right)r set forth that his policy ought not to be interrupted by his death. The Pope, addressing each cardinal by letter, and after re? ferring to the interest of the church and the infallibility of the Pope, en? treats him not to oppose his choice of a successor, the only man who knows all the secrets of the present papal policy. Now that this scheme is known, it will come to nothing, but & de Bonneion feels sure that the fertile brain of Cardinal Rampolla will devise some new combination. . 'London Daily News. ' '""The people of Appomattox county will no doubt hold as sacred for all time to come the fact that Lee's army surrendered there," said a gentleman .from the Old Dominion the other day. "They show it in many ways among themselves, and in ?ot a few ways to the. world generally. For instance, . since the days of reconstruction they never have failed to elec; an old Con? federate soldier as their representative in the House of Delegates Of .conn % there have been many old Confederate soldiers in politics in Virginia, just as there have been in ether Southern States. But in recent years a great majority of them have retired from public life. . The people of Appomat? tox, however, still continue to send a Confederate veteran to Richmond with each meeting of the Legislature there, and no doubt will do so as longeas they can find a creditable representa? tive from among the fast thinning ranks.' When I first Isaw'the gentle? man from Appomattox' upon the floor of the House calling the" attention of the president, I noticed that an empty sleeve dangled at his side. I could not help being specially strack with his appearance, coming as !\e did from famous Appomattox, ana I spoke of it to another grizzled veteran seated near. '1 * Appomattox always sends crippled soldiers,' he answered, with a sigh. "Later, I learned that the county has had eight or ten delegates since reconstruction days, and, with pos? sibly one or two exceptions, all were -crippled." The People's Warehouse is still handling a great deal of tobacco. Up to the apresen t the management has sold over three quarters of a million pounds, and on last Saturday it had the remarkable experience of handling tobacco that had started to Timmons ville. The owners of the tobacco preceded their seven wagons and when they reached the Timmonsville market they learned'that Manning was paying much better prices, they turned back and met their wagons, turned them Manningwards with fine results. Mr. D. C. Plowden one of the party sold 1428 pounds, and he receive an aver? age of 24 cents psr pound. The prices range from 12^ to 50 cents. Manning Times. This New Jersey verdict of over $12,000 damages in favor of a man who was injured in a runaway caused by his horse being scared by an automobile will let the rich "scorchers" under? stand what is in store for them. The injured man showed that his time was exceedingly valuable. The man who was responsible for the reckless movement of the automobile was a rich banker and the verdict seems to have followed as a matter of course. The Southern Christian Advocate will soon be published in Spartanburg. The Spartanburg Daily Herald has closed a contract for the publication of The Advocate for a term of four years. It is now published by R. L. Berry of Orangeburg. The Advocate is a" good paper and is giving our Methodist brethren excellent- service. Look Out For Fever. Biiliousness and liver disorders at this season may be prevented by cleansing the system with DeWitt's Little Early Risers. These famous litde pills do not gripe. They move the bowels gently, but copious? ly, and by reason of the tonic proporties, give tone a? d strength to *he glands. S. Hughsoii & Co. An Old Brown Cedar. Charles E. Bessey of the University of Nebraska writes to Science of a cedar which he claims to be over 1,000 years old, as follows : ' * In the Garden of the Gods, near Pike's Peak, Colorado, there are many large speci? mens of the brown cedar, Juni perns , monosperma (Engelm), Sargent, and in a recent visit to that place it oc? curred to the writer that these trees must be very old. On the 13th of August he was fortunate enough to find the stump of a recently cut tree, on which it was easy to distinguish the annual growth-rings. These were counted for a section of the trunk, care being taken to select a portion in which the rings were of alverage thick? ness, and on this basis the number for the whole stump was calculated. In this way it was found that this particular tree was between eight hun? dred and one thousand years old. In other words, this tree was a seedling some time between the years 900 and 1100 A.
