She Had Been a Faithful Teachei in the ClilTord Seminary Since Its Establishment. Afera painful illness of several weeks, the spirit of Miss Susie Schofield took its flight into the realms ol bliss. The end came at noon on Sunday last, 10th inst., at the Clifford Seminary, with which institution she had been connected from the day of its beginning. She possessed a happy, cheerful and genial nature, a kind, gentle and generous disposition, beloved by all who knew her, and her place in the seminary, the church und the social circle canuot easily bo filled. Sho Is survived by two sisters and a brother, Mrs. B. G. Clifford and Mrs. Geo. H. Ootzel, of this city, and Mr. S. C. Schofield, of Davidson, N. C. ' Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things, in which smiles and kindness, and small obligations given habitually, are what win and preserve the heart and eecuro comfort." We live in deeds, not years'; in thought, not breaths. The funeral services were conducted in the First Methodist church Monday aftornoo.n at 4 o'clock by Rev. A. G. Wardlaw, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, assisted by Rev. B. M. McLeod, pastor First Methodist church ; the interment in tho old Presbyterian cemotery. The pall bearers wore Messrs. S. M. Beaty, R. P. Harry, K. Nicholson, B. B. James, B. F. Arthur, Jas. F Powell. A large concourse of friends and'acquaintances followed the bier to the grave to pay their tribute of respect to the dead. The casket was covered with spring's most beautiful floral offerings, and the grave was a lovely fragrant mound of flowers, touching typical emblems of the one who rests below. Another flower has drooped, withered, died. In the spring time of life, in the sweet bloom of womanhood, she is called to blossom in the garden of Eden, where the flowers never die. She is taken from her flowers here that she loved so well to nurse, watch and water; she has left these flowers she lovod so well to be watered by the tears of those who loved her. "How the universal heart of man blesses flowers! They aro wreathed around the cradle, tho marriage altar and the tomb." "And with childish, credulous affection, We behold their tender buds expand ; Emblems of our own great resurrection, Emblems of the bright and better land." A Unique and Beautiful Souvenir. A unique anil beautiful souvenir of love's !a*t token to General Jolm II. | Gordon lias been f preserved by the ski'l1'ul needle of Mrs. Kate Robson, of Kirk wood, an intimate friend of the departed statesman. Alone in her quiet home at "Tit > N?3t," the artistic home ef her daughter, Mrs. Jefferson Davis Dun woody, she has combined the silken lengths of the ribbons tint knotted the scores of final tributis Iihh upon i be crave of Gordon into an immen-e Cowederate banner which will be presented to Mrs. Gordon upon her return from Florida. Mrs. Rolwon, who is a charming woman, modestly states that the idea of thus preserving the beautiful ribbons, came to her as an inspiration. "Anybody could have sewed them," said she. "but I am so glad that it fell to my lot. When first I saw the great heap of 11bbons taken from his grave, I thought of making a Confederate flag to abide at Sutherland, now that he is absent"?aril as she ten.Drly bar dVd the silken folds of the banner, she continued: "I have tried no', to love it too much, for I kuo\rf that I will have to give it up to the rightful owner." It was Mrs- Robson who made the flag under whioh Gen. Gordon first left for the war in 1861. as captain of the famous Raoe^ R i?hs. Sho has now made the .uu. and after all the most precious, because its abundant and beauful material shows in part the wealth of love that the people showered upon the great chieftain. The (lag is an exquisite creation. It is large in proportion, being five by eight feet, the regulation size. The workmanship is excellent Every bit of material used in the making of the flag was taken from the grave and the fact wil] add to its great worth. The colors are rich, and the silken folds of the banner shine forth with rare brilliance. Stud: ding the blue Oehl in the left hand corner i are thirteen white stars, each one embossed with a letter?John B. Gordon. The stars and even the Jet Urn were found among the material taken ftom the grave. The center bar of the flag is , composed of white ribbons, while those mm either side are red. % j Sn" r'' Wegrlstratlon Certificates.

A The pickpockets who snatched Dr. I. M. rftur's diamond pin, did not appenr at the Court in Columbia They w* re on bond, that is, they had each deposited with lha clerk of Richland County $500 each, and as neither appeared for trial, Judge Gary ordered the clerk to turn over the money to the county treasurer. Dr. Hair never recovered the diamond. The Union Creamery Company. This company has completed all the necessary arrangements for beginning work in a very short t time. The farmers in the immediate neighborhood can now make their arrangements to dispose of all their sweet milk to this company at a fair living price. To sell in hulk will be far better than selling in small quantities from house to house, known as the peddling business. This company will oi>en a market to-the farmers such as they have not previously had. The books of subscription are still open aud we think it would ha well for the farmers to take some stock. The par value of shares is only fifty dollars, ten per cent, of which is called for at stated times. Parker Boom. The Parker boom is daily gaining strength, momentum and like the inflation of a bulloon swelling to its full CUD.lCitV. has "turned t.he rrrunr Is now traveling the main road toward St. Louis " The Atlanta Journal says, "The logic; of the situation demands Democratic uuity upon the candidacy of Judge Parker." New York is for him, and the decision of New York is final. Mr. Bryan has spoken satirically of the proposed Parker nomination as "the nomination of an interrogation point;" to which an Anti-Bryan paper replies that even that would be better than nominating a full stop, as the party did in 1890 and 1900. I The Dunbar Hand Bell Ringers. Thi^ company of artists entertained a large and appreciative audience last Friday night at the opera house. Each individual member of this company performed his part admirably. The varied program of vocal and instrumental music was par excellence. The musical bells were listened to with wonder and amazement. This part of the performance far exceeded all expectations, as many had no real conception of the variety of tones and melody that could be produced from bells, as this part was new, novel and delightful. This was the concluding number of the Lyceum course for the season. Liquor Made In the Cellar. One of the most interesting easy, pays The State, which the colli ctor of revenues will take to the session of court, which meets in Greenville in a few weeks is the prosecution of a distiller named Beard. This distiller was operating a plant near the city of Greenville and had a pp' mit from the Government as well as from '.he State. It was suspected that there was soraethtng wrong and the place was watched. Finally, it was discoved that in his warehouse there was a trap dooor giving access to a big still in a concealed basement* This illicit sti.l was operated to avoid the payment of license on the stuff manufactured. From the legalized still some distance Rway there were pipes bringing In the steam necessary for working the, mash and operating the retort, The refuse was carried by pipes under ground to where the refuse of the legalized still was dumped. We have heard of a still even more ingeniously constructed than this and less liable to detection and discovery than this one. This distillery was owned and operated by a miller whose cabin was on the opposite side of the stream from the grist mill. The dam was built after tho usual mode, of plank at an angle of forty live degrees. The miller, I ostensibly for the purpose of strengthen ing the dam closed it with strong plank, running up and down from top of d?m to bed of stream. This done, made a close room under the dam. Here the old hand copper distillery was operated. The pipe, which conveyed the smoke was laid under the ground up the hill, and came opt in the fireplace of the millers cabin, so all the smoke went up the chimney. The miller operated the distillery for years undiscovered ar.d without, exciting any suspicion and , doublings could have done so for an indefinite period had it not been fop the toogae of traitor. v *. leitinmtNmtiutHiNtMMMNNNHMa ; MOTHERS MUST WATCH.
