W^j^ Wetc to Those Who N?5lect
* : to Set Down Their Prtcelas
Discoveries.
..A. noted author In the Satevpost
writes: "The ^commonest sign of fa
rlgue Is found in feeling of weari
/" ness.'* -
There are times., when we are almost
Ted into believing that this is true,
^^rvooai and ambiguous as the state
ment may seem, sat the first reading.
It becomes clearer when read^ ovec
four or five times, In fact we*don't
?ia*tow ^Ken the proposition has been
stated with more clarity, after one
^masters the language in which it is
couched.
Have yon not often read things and
.said to yourself: "How often I have
thought that very thing. Why did T
not put it down in imperishable
srords?"
?It is . so with this. Doubtless, in
3*oar bnmble way you have often
thought that your weariness was a
t?.ign -nf : fatigue. At those tiroes you
^tfecwght ra HyJ-ag truth,* but did yon
WrJte ^and teil some magazine of your
pfJeeless discovery? No. You al
lowed somebody to come along, per
haps years after, and do it
Tfce moral is that when you think a
jpfeat thought, put it down on paper
at ODce. Even if you do put It away
somewhere and forget it, posterity
'.maj-hhdit^
Now, many times in o?r career we
have had feelings of weariness. Some
our friends have been misguided
jgnough to attribute It to Iaziness--an
awful- word, particularly among
f.-fends. But, when we were weary, it
- was-not laziness that all cd us. It
s/a> ?tigne. ,
: And.;<we .never knew the truth until
we read .tee magazine article men
tioned. We have ^feeen slandered for
years by a wrong Idea.?Exchange.
ft!GH HONOR FOR SMALL GIRL'
Face of Ten-Yearrbid Has Appeared
on Millions of -Coins of the
Wt United States.
ff The government of the United States
" in 1835 made an offer of $1,000 for the
most acceptable design to be placed
ttrpon the new cent coin soon to be
: issued. Some Indian chiefs traveled
I from the northwest to Washington to
visit the Great Father and then
journeyed to Philadelphia to see the
mint, whose chief engraver was James
Barton Longacre, who invited them to
: > has home. f
The engraver's daughter,^ Sarah,
~*aged 10, greatly enjoyed the visit of
her father's guests and durin g the eve
ning, to please her, one of the chiefs*
% took off his feathered helmet and war
bonnet and placed it on her head. In
the company was an artist, who im
mediately sketched her and handed the
picture to her father. Mr. Longacre,;
fero wing of the competition for a like
ness to go -upon the cent projected/
under the inspiration of the hour, re
solved to contend for the prize offered
by the government To his delight the j
cmdals accepted it, and the face of'
his daughter appeared upon the coin,
which was circulated about the nation 1
for nearly a century. There were
more than a hundred competitions.
The cent bearing the face of Sarah
Longacre has acne into more hands
than any other American coin.
How England Grows.
A great deal of interest Is taken
to England m the question of; coast
protection. The ocean, assailing the
cliffs, gradually tears them away, but
this very process furnishes a defense
for the land by huilding/ up long
beaches of sand and shingle, which ar
rest the waves before they can attack
the cliffs. An effort is making to pre
vent or better regulate, the removal of
this material for construction and road
building, because In many places its
removal-Hhas permitted the sea free
ly to" exert its power of erosion.
Tneordn^ **ey has ascertained
that in the last half century England
has lost 6,640 acres by sea erosion
-and gained: 48,000 acres through re
claiming land the existence of which
is mainly due to material brought
down by the rivers.
Growth of the Cities.
A Cleveland editor once said that
C^ndnnatTs chief business was "pork
and politics*" observes Girard In the
Philadelphia Press.
You have been told in advertise
ments a million times that a certain
beer ?'made Milwaukee famous."
Everybody knows that Washington.
, D. Cm has one big industry?holding
down government jobs.
The new census figures from these
cities, all above 400,000, are signifi
cant
Pork population Increased only 10
per cent m a deca-lo, while beer popu
lation expanded 22 per cent. %oth
look small compared with the growth
In government job population of 32

; Orenit-Oran^father of President FHU
more Coerced Into Sailing Under
the Black Flag. t
Joan Fillmore, great-grandfather of
Millard Fillmore, the thirteenth presi
dent of tlie United States, was a pi
rate, though he was a pirate in spite
of himself. The story begins with i the
first Quarter of the eighteenth centur&
when the freebooters, Bluebeard, Low
and Phillips, swept the Atlantic coast
from Jamaica to Newfoundland. Phil
lips captured the Dolphin of Cape Ann,
a vessel commanded by Andrew
Harriden.
JHarriden discovered among the
pirates* crew two young men. John
FHlmore and Edward Cheesman,
whom* Phii?ps . had captured and
made pirates against their will.
They had determined either to es
cape .-from the pirate's clutches or
to capture his vessel and bring him
and his crew to justice. They :fixed
an appointed hour for making the
attempt at escape, after reaching
an agreement with Harriden.
The signal was given ~wfren onJy
j three were on deck, one of whom
was Phillips. One of the men-was
thrown overboard, and the other two
were killed. This was done while the
crew ?was below in the hold of the
ship. The captors then sprang into
the -bold and: placed the rest of the
I crew m chains, steered the vessel
'for Boston, and arrived there May 3,
1724.' Two of the pirates were hanged,
while FHlmore, Cheesman and his con
federates were acquitted.

FORESEE APPROACH OF DEATH
Writer Tells of Instances Where Ani
. ma Is Evidently Sensed -Dissolution
and Feared it.
I am perpl exed at the way in Which
tiie lower- animals sometimes have-a
premonition of death and fear it, while
l.at-other times they appear to be per
fectly indifferent to death.
I have known a dog to beg not to be
taken on a railway journey, when usu
ally he used to dance about with de
light when he saw these preparatiotts
being made. On the occasion on which
he exhibited distress he slipped off the
platform, was run over and killed.
I have known a horse who was &
very free jumper refuse. obstinately .-fe
small fence and, when his rider forced,
him over it the lforse broke his hack.
A bullfinch?not a pet, but merely
one of a eagefui of birds?dropped
[down screaming; I took him out and
j -so long as he lay in my hand he was
quite quiet, but he screamed if I at
tempted to put him back on some cot- i
ton wool. He lax in my hand for a j
quarter of an hour and died quite !
quietly. ? - - * j
I have" had "a" horse refuse to pass
under a tree under which he had pass
ed every day for years. ' It was <a
perfectly calm day. I drove him routrd.
the tree, and as I did so a big branch
fell upon exactly the spot on which
we would .have been if I had not let
the horse go round.?From the Conti

Must Earn Nature's Favors.
Nature will not reveal her beauty,
her Joy, her splendor, her magnificence i
or her sublimity to the selfish or the j
hurried soul. She thinks too much of j
her great treasures of marvelous mys- i
tery to fling them out to the penurious, j
greedy, hurried human being, to tb#
casual eye, to those who are rushing
j along at railroad speed. No one can
successfully woo and win, her who is !
not willing to study her, take time to
observe her, and listen to her voice.
She tells her secrets, reveals her mys
teries and beauties only to'-those-who j
know how to wait, who take time to
Siink, to ponder; to those who can
appreciate and love these things well j
enough to spend time with her.?Ori- j

er for'which fundrs had,been set asj^e'
having -fallen/ down.-ft was'possible'
?for", the^tate to secure^.7t^00 :of T?d^
era! money, (which .w^buld otherwise
revert to the general %f^e?i*'f?n?'.anj?
be .apporttoned to other states) if
Sumter-county would j>ut up t$37,'5tia'
and Ri?hland county ^37,?0? to
build the bridge at Garner's' -Ferry.-'
The State engineer also stated/ }th?f
they had estimated'the cost Of /the'
brjdge and it-Would not' exceed^isp,
enOi The bridge would be buflt/at a
level above high water. And .all nec
essary : approaches!, incl?df?g /a three
foot gravel fill"ahmgthe"1 old 'Garner's
Ferry,; road bed, could be'construcie^D
for $25;00J) appitional. This would
not make a road/ bed which Was
above' extra high iioods but would he
[above everything except extraordi
: narj: freshets and co.utd be':nsedrmoriet
than 90 per .cent of the time. I lques^
tioned th em . particularly as to ' its
washing away, and (they-stated ht?t..
built: of .gravel as they confeinplated!
with proper openings along the Hne"
of flow thr?hgh the swamp,, '-which
could readily be determined; thW
causeway would not wash away to.
any great extent if at all;'.:that the
i water- which filled' the -swamp was
largieTy: back water' and' except aTong
certain channels"there was little flow.*
Certain it is that the old "Garner's
Ferry road bed has stood th^erfe -for a
hundred years and' i -know another"
dam - a Few miles, below which*'-hacst
been there for more than a huhdr^o/j
years and.goes into the-stfamp:more j
tmin .two miles and there are only/
two'?r .three washes -across' it. I am j
frank; to say, ho^eyor,.-these;ar^'-mat-.' j
tefs on which I . do 'not attempt to1
j.pass. - and I am basing \my opinion on j
the'statement of the e'!^neers.v ; j
It is oifidoubtedly^the/mientio'n of.'

as it is from a county standpoin? that
the eastern section of ' pur county

the opponents of the. Garner's Ferry
