The GREAT FOSSIL MAMMALS
Some of the largest mammals known
to have existed on the earth are
ranked by La Nature in the order OF
their size as follows: /. Dinotherium
giganteum of the upper miocene of
Attica. From the size of tibia or
shin bone that has been found, 1t is
estimated that this animal must have
attained height of Az feet at the
shoulders and Is feet at the top of the
head. 2. Elephas antiquus of the
quaternary of the environs of Paris.
A humerus of this animal indicates
that it must have reached IL feet at
the shoulders and Az at the top of
the head. 8. Elephas meridionalis of
the upper pliocene of Durfort. The
largest entire skeleton of fossil
mammal thus far known is one of
this animal in the Paris museum It
is 12I feet in height at the shoulder
bones, 1874 at the top of the head. and
Il 1StG III 1IouA thS VIM VA SAS
tusks to the back of the pelvis. 4.
Mastodon Americans of the quater-
nary ofthe United States. 5. Elephas
primigenius (the mammoth) of the
quaternary of Siberia, and the present
elephants. The skeleton of the fam
GUS mammoth whose entire carcass
was found on the Lena in 1899 is III
feet in height to the top of the head.
1t is not likely, is added, that man
has seen the dinotherium, but it is
certain that he has come tace to face
with the elephas antiquus and the
mammoth. In order to fight them,
he had but stone axes, and yet he
conquered them. This allows US to
believe that our ancestors of quater-
nary times had spirit and courage.

Graceville Democrat: We can't
stand anything like this. When a
farmer Is only offered IS cents for his
wheat in Graceville by AL elevator
company and he draws his crop to
Dumont or Clinton and gets 81 cents
for the same grade of wheat and from
the same company, it is about time
something was done. The farmer who
sells his wheat i'll Dumont or Clinton
is certainly not going to spend his
money in GracevilIe. Our merchants

General Grants Burial Place.

Colonel F. D. Grant, United States
Minister to Austria, has written letter
in which he intilnates that if the nation,
as represented by the Federal govern
ment, should wish TO remove the re-
mains of General Z. S. Grant to the
capital and build there its monument
his family would acceie to the plan,
with the proviso that the last wish of
the dead soldier, adhered to with char
acteristic tenacity under the most
pathetic circumstances, should be car
ried out and place at his side be re-
served for his wife. This would indi-
cate that Colonel Grant has come to the
conclusion that tine projected monument
over bis fathers grave at Riverside
Park, New York, will never be erected.

Italian Railroad Laborers.

Mr.. R. S. Pringle has, for the past
few weeks, been negotiating an engage
ment with party OF fifty Italians to
work on the Eutawville Railroad between
this point and Summerton. In response
10 letter received from the representa-
tive Of the Italians, Mr.. Pringle has
signed and sent forward contract st1p-
ulating among other conditions 20 give
them continuous employment On the
railroad for a period of four mouths if
so much time shall be required to com.
plete the grading In the event the
grading on the road shall be completed
before the expiration of the time agreed
on, Mr.. Prlngle has obliged himself to
procure work for them at the phosphate
works near Charleston. Arrangements
have been made with phosphate COM
pany to take the Italians should it be-
come necessary. Mr.. Pringle, by this
new arrangement for labor, will render
himself Independent of the uncertain and
unreliable local supply of hands, aud
will be enabled to rapidly push forward
the work of the road.
After the expiration of their term Of
service with Mr.. Pringle it might be
we'll for some of our local authorities to
experiment with the. Italian. In Florida,
where they are extensively employed,
they prove industrious, economical and
more trustworthy than the usual labor
ers of the South. The Italians are
gregarious people and will have to be
employed either together or in the same
community. In bands of the size of this
gang they are usually organized and
commonly have q native priest along at
the head as both spiritual and temporal
guide. .-Sumter Vutrj3man.

Genuine Recuperative Rest.

Not absolute inaction, but change Of
modes of action, is recuperative rest to a
man in his waking hours. He who would
be refreshed for renewed intellectual activ-
tiles by an intermisslon of his ordinary oc'
cupation, must see to it that his brain is
kept at work in another direction during
that interval, or he will return to his old
duties with less power than before for tha
performance of those duties. Toexpect to
gain strength in ones intellectual faculties
bv an entire cessation of their use for weeks
together, is as unreasonable as it would be
to expect to gain muscular power by re-
fusing to use the muscles for the same
length Of time, or to gain skill in musical
execution by refraining for an extended
period from all musical practice. II, indeed,
a man were to intermit all intellectual ac-
tivities during any one mouth or two months
of the yegr itwould be an impossibility for
him to come back to his work at the end OF
that time as well fttod for it as when he
left it for this period of enecvating idleness.
Recuperative rest is desirable for every
hard-worked man or woman; but recupeta-
tive rest in ones waking hours can come
only through a change of work, never
through an absolute cessation Of works..

SWIFT JUSTICE IN BoRNEo.
Chinese Secret Society Members Shot and
Others Branded and FlogCed.

The Straits Times Of August 18th.
published at Singapore, which has just
arrived in this city, brings news of the
remarkable workings of a Chinese secret
society in Sarawak, Borneo. The So
cieties were in power there some thirty
years ago, and nearly put an end to the
regular government.
They were only overcome after great
bloodshed, and laws were passed to pre-
vent their reappearance. But lately the
Chinese outlaws of the Ghee Hin Society
revived their organization. The Rajah
Immediately set to work to Illustrate
their plans. twenty-five Of the leaders
and members of the society we're ar
rested. They were tried before a special
court consisting of four European, four
Malay and four Chinese members
This court communicated to the Rajah
its findings. II found that six of the
nen were active leaders Of the Ghee
Hin Or Sam Tar, Chinese Secret Society;
thar eleven Jf thc prisoners were the
society'S active agents in beating,
frightening, or numbering non-mem-
ners, anu that seven were merely
me& bers, ard, as far rs is known, there
is ncthug further against them.
On Monday, August II, in the pres
cnce OF the leading Malays and Chi
nese TowkayS of Kuching and the Sara
wax Rangers the sentences We're
passed by the Rajah as follows: That
the six chief men be shot; that the eleven
active agents receive six dozen strokes
with q rattan; have their heads shaved;
be imprisoned during the pleasure OF
his nignness, the Rajah, and be branded
with tue letters S. S. on the hand, and
that on release they should be bauished
forever from Sarawak," and that the
seven Others be released 'if they swear
in their temples not to have anything
more to Go with the society and to give
up the society documents in their pos
session"
The six principals were blindfolded
and pinioned and shot BY twenty-five
soldiers simultaneously on the river

were fiogged. and the other seven put in

not be higher than the laws governing Ius
training.
The individual who was born and trained
in family where strict integrity and truth
were unknown has that much harder battle
to fight in overcoming the tendencies Of his
nature. It is this that makes the training
of young children such tremendous re-
sponsibility.
Is there sadder sight than the puzzled
expression Of child's face when the mother
whom it loves with the whole strength OF
its being utters social falsehood in its
presences and yet it is not so rare sight
as it should be. Can there be a standard OF
truth in family where the daily life of the
family is an untruth, where the effort to ap-
pear is far greater than the effort to bes
To give child the right standards there
must be harmony in his life, and there can
be no harmony without truth. The small
boy in an infant class struck the very foun-
dations Of life when he exclaimed to a little
girl covered with shame and confusion be-
cause her cap had been ksocked off, re-
vealing a smoothly cropped head and the
row Of curls sewed fast to the ruches OF the
cap on the floor: cha! ye needn't be 80
'shamed if ye hadn't made believe" 1t is
the make believes that cause the morti-
fcation The man whose house is built on
the rock truth has sure foundation; he
commands respect without question, and
need fear no mans comment "Electricity
can not follow broken wire, nor success
lying life" II teach my children to speak
the truth" is but small part of moral
education. Are they taught to live It! Is
the home life, by example as well as pre-
cept, life of truth! Within a few days
the papers have recorded five heavy en-
bezzlements. The principals concerned,
as far as their histories have been re-
vealed, were men who had peculiar
social advantages; at least three of them
were born into homes of wealth, and all
were men who had had every educational
advantage The partner of one said: II al
yyavs knew he was careless, but supposed
he was honest" Will strictly honest man
be careless where money matters are in
volvedl Will man 10 whom truth is more
than a tongue accomplishment be careless
to criminality? You may say he is weak
but "there is weakness that IS as criminal
as wickedness," and it is this weakness that
is sure indication Of the lack OF courage
inseparable from truth.

Pledger, who calls the convention, is
editor:
Weare going to discuss matters, don't

tell of outrages and of the robbery of
our people, expose the lies the Bourbon
press has circulated about US, tell how

we will say to every negro in the State,

The Census of 1890

Among the original documents preserved
in the Interior Department in Washington,
the most interesting are the books of the
census Of $780, about twenty-five Of which,
hardly averaging the size Of an epcyclope-
dia, are safely stored where lock and key
protect them from the casual visitor. The
most striking feature Of these books is the
remarkable legible writing with which the
founders Of the republic recorded the namo
OF every head OF a household in the United
States. The census takers of that period
did not use printed forms on which to tabu-
late this information, but ruled blank books
from blank paper, which they bound by in
closing within old covers Of books the leaves
of which had been cut out However
crudely these books are shown to be made
there is not one instance in Which careless
work can be charged, and in no case was
there any slovenliness Of penmanship.--
