Demand for a "Social Clearing
House"

Setting out with the declaration,
which it says is "the admitted state of
affairs" that "among women a call has
ceased to be scheme for meeting peo-
pie, but tedious and laborious way for
not meeting them," the Springfield Re
publican says The crying need Of So
ciety among women is clearly plan un-
der which cards can be exchanged and
calls made without the risk, which now
exists, of finding people sat home !" that
catastrophe which wrecks the best laid
schemes for paying all ones social debts
i'll a single afternoon. What is wanted
is social clearinghouse. The banks of
New York long since found it past their
patience to 90 from bank to bank with
the checks against each. They accord
ingly devised clearinghouse" where
their representatives could meet and pay
off their balances by mutual exchange.
Society needs mutual exchange for So
cial debts. A room ought to be fitted
up down town near some popular mil
linery store and as far as possible from
the neglected public library, with little
pigeon holes marked Mrs. A, Mrs.
B, Mrs. c., Mrs. D, and so on
through the social alphabet a woman
with calls to make could go there and de-
posit her cards in the pigeon-holes of her
acquaintance, secure that she would find
none Of them "at home" She could 90
to her own pigeon hole, obtain the cards
there deposited and triumphantly return
the calls on the spot. The work of
weeks could be done in a day. Every
end now subserved by calls could be ac-
compllshed at very great saving Of
time. All the useful information in re-
gard to servants, the weather, and other
peoples business now laboriously dissem-
mated by calls should be stereotyped on
the cards.

HINTS TO BATHERs.-The ROYAL Human.
Society of England has issued the following
seasonable advice to bathers avoid bath
ing within two hours after a meal, or when
exhausted by fatigue or from any other
cause, or when the body is cooling after
perspiration, and avoid bathing altogether
in the open air if, after being a short time
in the water, there is a sense of chilliness.
with numbness of the hands and feet. but
battle when the body is warm, provided no
time is lost in getting into the water. Avoid
chilling the body by sitting or standing un-
dressed on the banks or in boats. after
having been in the water, or remaining too
long in the water, but leave the water i'm
mediately there is the slightest feeling Of
chilliness. The vigorous and strong NAV
battle early in the morning on an empty
stomach, but the young and those who are
weak had better battle two or three hours
after a meal the best time tor such is from
two to three hours after breakfast. Those
who are subject to attacks Of giddiness or
faintness, and who suffer from palpitation
and other sense of discomfort at the heart.
should not battle without first consult NJ
their medical adviser" After bathing a
vigorous use of the towel is very beneficial,
and should be followed when necessary bv
moderate exercise till a gentle reaction sets
in. The old notion about the danger of
plunging into cold water when the body is
heated has long ago been exploded In fact
it is now clearly established that the colder
the water the hotter should be the bather.
Fever patients it is we'll known never take
cold even if wholly immersed for brief in
tervals in ice water. If the body is not
already in IA vigorous glow, bathing is sure
to do more harm than good.

Fer the Farmer and Mechanic.
Old Times in Connection With the
Lower Cape Fear.
BY COL j. G.. BURR, OF WILMINGTON.

In the early history Of our State the
Cape Fear river was known as the river
Clarendon. The first settlement on its
banks was made in the year 1859, and
abandoned in 1863, but at what particular
point the settlement was made is not we'll
established. In the month of May 1864,
sir John Yeamans, at the head of eight
hundred colonists from Barbados made
ganized the second government established
in Carolina, the first having been organized
by Governor Berkeley, of Virginia, In the
county of Albema1le, in 1868. The county
of Albemarle was named after George,
Duke of Albemarle and Master OF the
Horse, the county of Clarendon after Ed
ward, Earl of Clarendon, High Chancellor
both being Lords Proprietors of Carolina
under the grant from Charles the Second.
Under the second charter or grant from
Charles the Second to the Lords Proprie-
tors of Carolina. the province extended
from the South line of Virginia to Florida.
and very soon thereafter it was divided
into but two counties-the county of Abe
marie extending from Virginia to the
river Clarendon, and the county of Claren-
don extending southwardly to Florida. The
division Of the Province into North and
South Carolina was not known until about
the year 1896.
The settlement made by Sir John Ieam-
ans was at a point some ten miles below
the present city of Wilmington. now known
as Oldtown, and in honor of the reigning
King of England it was named Charleston.
Some six or seven years thereafter. Sir John
leamans and most of the colonists from
Barbados who had accompanied him, re
moved from Charleston on the Clarendon or
Cape Fear river, first to Port Royal, and
subsequently, to the neck of land between
The Ashley and Cooper rivers, and founded
the present city of Charleston, South Caro-
ma. Whether any of the colony under
leamans remained on the Clarendon not
certainly known, but it is asserted by some
OF our historians that such is a fact, and
mat the old town Of Brunswick situated on
The west bank of the Cape Fear river,
about SIX miles below the site Of Charles
town, and after which the county of Bruins
WICK Is named, owes its origin to such of
these colonists as did not accompany Sir
John leamans to South Carolina.
Our earliest knowledge of the town OF
brunswick, which is reliable, does not go
iafther back than 1920, when it contained
nut a lew inhabitants, and it SO continued
LOT some years. About the year 1925, quite

THE Boone FAMILY.-It is rather a re-
markable coincidence that two young
Thomas Boones are now closely contied in
the iron cell of Burnsville Jail, having
both been convicted of murder in the first
degree, the older having been convicted at
Yancey county court a year ago, in which
case an appeal was taken and the Supreme
Court confirmed the judgment or the lower
court. SO he must die, and ere long-yes,
before the dirt gets dry on his grave-an
other Thomas Boone must follow, as we are
reliably informed that the appeal to the
Supreme Court in the case just tried at
Madison county court, was merely ror time,
as the evidence was short and hardly a SIN
gle exception was taken. This being the
case, the Supreme Court will hardly inter
fere, or order a reatre do moro.
1t will be a sad day upon the Boone fam.
ly in Yancey county, and Of course they
have their friends who will also weep with
those who are left. Without prejudice,
the Doone family has always, since our rec
objection, held a high hand in lancey
county. Even the feminine Boones are
more ar less dreaded.-1ShcytWe Jo"1e1i.

Close examination will show a dark louise on
the heud Of the chicks as soon as they are
dry enough to be removed from the nest,
and chicks with it are most certain to get
the gapes. They should be headgreased
with the mixture mentioned above as soon
as they are removed from the nest. Move
the coop to new ground at least every other
day. Keep fresh water constantly where
they can have easy access to 1t. A cheap
fountain may be made by taking adlscaroeo

enough to cover the nail holes, and as ias5
as the chicks drink it will fill up. IL shouiu

upon it, and the water will be good the en-
tire day.
