Some New Hats.

About this time of year our ladies will be
looking for the new hats and honnets, We
present TO them this week the first install
ment, batch of hats. They show the back

face An erect, dignilod, graceful carriage
of the head certainly goes far to make lady
beautiful With the hats in the Illustrations,
have the back hair gracefully and coqliettiSh-
ly arranged.

air is introduced into the center OF the sand
pipe, by a suitable connection which has the
effect Of throwing the sand to precisely the
point where it is wanted under the wheel
Consequently, the quantity can be very much
diminished for equal effect and it is said that
the quantity Of sand required when in con-

SCIENCE AND PROGRESS.
GOD MADE MAN AND MAN MAKES
MARVELLOUS MACHINES.

Intelligent Swine-The Red Dye Of Moses.
Fall OF Rivers-Steam Machines for
Digging into Earth Banks and Exca-
waiting RaiIroads-Steel for Muscle.
How completely steam power is suppressed
ing hand labor is illustrated in nothing more
striLingly than in the railroad cxcavators now
in use Gangs Of 80 and 100 laborers used to
be necessary to build railroads. They were
imported by the shipload for that very pur-
pose in tho palmy days of railroad building in
America Now this work is done by steam
excavator. A great iron scoop-shovel is run
into u sand or gravel bank. A force behind
it drives it against the bank and scrapes it to
and fro upon it. The earth is broken or and
falls into the shovel Then, when the scoop
is full, Il swinging crane and derrick move 1t
to one side and empty its contents upon
dumping car which stands ready to receive
them.
Upon the tip of the shovel are sharp blade
like steel teeth. These punch into the earth
and literally bite it out. In some of the ma
chimes the bottom of the scoop is movable, so
that instead of turning the shovel upside
down to empty it, all that is necessary is to
pull back little spring clasp and the load Is
dumped out through the bottom.

IRON STEAM SHOVEL.

The illustration shows one of these unique
engines at work on clay bank. Some OF
them will, it is said, load and unload seven
cubic yards minute, They are valuable
for removing railroad wreckage as well,
though it is rather a shady compliment to the
safety Of railway travel in America that the
invention of a wreCking train has been
deemed necessary.

Railroad Meeting in Jacks Township.

Despite the opposition, which has here
toforo appeared in Jacks Township
against all railroad enterprises, the
meeting called for the purpose ofdiscuss-
ing railroads, On the Is, inst, was attcn-
dod by a large number of the representa-
tive mon of that section. The crowd as
scInbled at tho residence of Mr.. l.. w.
Copeland. Maj. n. S. Harris was called
to the Chair and Mr.. w. B. Bell, of Gin
ton, requested to act as Secretary. At
ter stating that the object Of tho meet
ing was to discuss railroads generally,
snd the advantage Of the c. G.. & A. and
the G.. n. & l.. railroads, in particular,
Maj. Harris called upon Mr.. Mills, Pres
ident OF the Chester, Greenwood & Alb
bevillo road, who addressed tho meeting.
Mr.. Mills Is a pleasing speaker and pre-
sented the claims of his road in a captiva-
ting manner. After the conclusion OF his
address, tho meeting took n recess of one
hour to partake of ono Of the most de-
lightful dinners it has been our good for
tune to soc In a long time. Mr.. Cope
land had prepared, the barbecue for tho
occasion. After dinner Mr.. II. II. Nc
Caughrin. Of Newberry, made n few re-
marks on the Importance of better rail
road facilities, in this beautiful section
of country. j. G.. Darlington was then
called upon and spoke in tho interest of
the Columbia, Newberry q Laurens
Railroad. Speeches were also made by
Messrs. Boil, of Clinton; w. l.. Gray,
Geo. f. Young and Maj. n. S. Harris, OF
Laurens. MIR. Green, of Jacks Town
ship, gave tho people some excellent
advice, and, to tho point. Flo told them
to look farther thar the end OF their nose,
and vote a tax sufficient to secure both
Of tho proposed railroads. Mr.. Lewis
Marlborough stated that If the G.. n. & L.,
would come on the proposed line, by
his mill, in addition to the tax, he
would subscribe $1,000.
Those who nave been bitterly opposed
to all such enterprises, are beginning to
soc the importance of railroads and it is
confidently expected that, in n short
timo an election will be ordered and that
a small sum sufficient to grade the two
roads will be subscribed and ere both
both roads will be ompletsd through the
Township.

A Probation.

- ''1SAshoioU.
-Four little urchins had assembled on a
street corner, in a ncighboring village.
and, as they sat drumming their heels
on a dry goods box, little Tommic Jones
said to his companions, that he would
repeat to them some verses Of poetry, he
had learned at school and each of them
could repeat it after HIM.
"Now, boys" said he:
Mary had a little lamb.
Whose fleece was white rs snow;
And everywhere that Mary went,
The lamb was 81 re to 70.
The first lad called to repeat the
verse happened to bo Yum Ching, a lit
tic son oftiic Celestial Empire. He hes
itatcd n moment adjusted his cue. turn
cd his almond eyes upward and began:
Mollce gallce had little sheep,
Alec Samee wOole white as snow;
Likec Mclean man,
On he hind legs he stand,
Or hoppee longce way Mollo go.
Paddy O'Itilcy, whose broguo and
c~ountenance bespoke Irish origin, came
next in order, and said:
Faith, and Mary had a kid,
And this is what he did:
When Mary walked most swatelv
tic followed her completely.
Thon young Schneidors turn: Although
not 80 portly as his aged father, Jacob,
stood erect, with his thumbs in his
vest, and said:
Dot lamb vas vite like WOOL;
Ven Mary go nit school,
Dot lamb will play,
Und blate all day,
Shust like he vas I'm fool.
Not satisfied with the progress Of his
pupils, TOmmio swore that any boot
black in the city could do better, 80 he
called Sam Slick, whose dark counte-
nance alono was sufficient to locate his
pa-entagc amid the coral strands OF
Africa. "Now SAM said Tommie,
"when ] repeat his verse. You follow .
Sam rolled his white eyes about a mo-
mont, opened four inches of his mouth,
and grinnlng, began:
Dat little kid belonged to May,
lie followed her de lib long day;
And when at night sh" go to sleep,
Likowise do dat little sheep.

busy, some Of the Laurens candidates
were on tho ground, they seemed to be
doing very well at Ninety-Six, can't say
how they are doing in Laurens.
We have had fine seasons and the crop
prospects are improving every day.
n protracted meeting was carried on
for some days at Saule Chapel. Preach
ing by Rows. Pooser and Sumner.
Othor help was expected, can't say rs
to the success of the meeting az at the
time of this writing the meeting was
still in progress.
We were at the town OF Williamston,
q fcw days ago, and made a hasty look
ovei the female college at that place.
The President Of the institution, Rev. S.
II d was exceedingly polite n at
tentive and showed us over the institu-
ton and exhibited the advantages which
he has at his command for the success-
operation of his school. We bespeak for
the college a liberal support and believe
hat anyone who will patronise the col
loge, will be amply compensated in the
superior educational opportunities, that
are offered to the pupil. The advantages
and benefits that follow from a liberal
and christian education cannot be over
estimated.
Williamson las another claim to pub
lie notice, in the mineral spring, which
flows in a beautiful basin, in the midst
of a lovely grove, about $50 yards from
the Depot. This spring is C~halyabeato
in its character ana most assuredly,
possesses valuable health giving proper
ties. We see no reason why our people
should 20 to a distance to mineral
springs, when such a good one as the
WILLIAMSON spring is in easy reach Of
the whole State.
Let our lnvalids give it q fair trial.
