Farley hopes to do considerable this year,
but it will be about two years before all the
eutlasses, getting and Hotchkiss guns can
be used. The battalion is by no means
thoroughly organized yet. Gen. Farley at
the tune he began work on the matter
merely mustered in three companies and
enrolled them as naval militia. They are
the following: The Chicora Rifles at Mount
Pleasant, the Lafayette artillery az Charles
ton, che Beaufort Artillery at Beaufort.
Among other things it is proposed TO have a
complete and thoroughly trained torpedo
CORDS to guard the coast. Gen. Farley thinks
that be can secure one OF the finest torpedo
corps anywhere in this country. The men
he has mustered in are accustomed 20 tho
water aud every one Of them knows bis Sec
ton OF the coast of South Carolina. When
the officer has completed his course Of in-
struction to the battalion, the government
will once a year send down one of its war
vessels and the battalion will be required to
spend a fortnight in practice and drilling
on this ship. The ship will generally come
during the spring Of every year.

Toby jackson was hanged at Orangeburg
Friday for the murder Of Nelson Hook on
Dec 10, 1890. Jackson was a negro about
80 years of age, aud the murdered man was
q negro about the same age. The condemned
man spent Thursday night With his spiritual
advisers, and retired about IL o'clock. He
rested well during the night and a woke in the
morning at the usual time, 8 o'clock. The
Rev. w. La johnson and the Rev. W. u.
Carmichael spent the early morning pray
ing with him, and when the hour for the
execution arrived be did not appear very
excited. He was led from bis cell TO the
scaffold, erected In the jail building, and
was asked il he had anything TO say. He
replied that he did not care to saw nything,
except that he wanted all his friends and
enemies to meet him IN heaven. The
criminal then offered up an ardent prayer
for himself, the jsiler. the sheriff aud all the
prisoners His minister, the Rev. W. l..
johnson, prayed with him a few minutes,
and when everything was ready the trigger
was sprung Jackson's body dropped obout
SIX feet and In a few moments life was eK-
tinct.
Gen. Farisy's organization OF the naval
militia force seems 10 have met with unex-
pected success. The indications are that
this branch OF the military will forge to the
front and be the pride Of the state. Adit
Gen. Farley has received official notice from
the Secretary Of the Navy that this state
would now be allowed her share OF the an
nual government appropriation for the
maintenance of the naval militia forces Of
the United States. This amounts 60 about
81, 300, payable annually. This years
amount will soon be available and Gen. Far
ley will at once begin the complete organi-
zation OF the force. This Is lust what Gen.
Farley has been oontending for all along,
and be feels very happy in securing the ap.
preparation. The money coming this year
will be spent chiefly In uniforming the
battalion and furnishing them With
arms aud equipments. OF course very
little can he done just now Ia the

back to the more congenial climate of

The most hardy and patient plodders
ut the fair grounds are the Japanese.
Nothing seems to daunt them in their
work. They are incapable Of even

leisurely, haphazard way of doing
things they accomplish wonders.

was only three feet in height, al
though it was three hundred years
old, and was thought to be the
finest specimen in existence. 1t was
sent to the fair by the emperor
of Japan, and every precaution~ was
taken to preserve it from harm, but
all efforts were unavailing, and the
only use it can now be put to will be
to serve as relic of its former SELF.

THE WESTWARD WINDOW.

I'm looking out .he westward window,
Where the sun sinks slow to rest.
With heightened shadows softly creeping
Over hill and mountain crest;
The forests and the groves are vocal
With the songster's parting lay,
And redolent are oil the woodlands
With the hues Of parting day.
Tho streamlet murmurs down the hillside.
Flowing onward toward the sea,
And bears my spirit, on its bosom,
Forward to eternity.
The cloud expanse Is being gllded
With the crimson, purple, gold,
Gods chariot through gates is passing.
Gorgeous with wealth untold.
1seem TO hear the silent voices
Out from yonder distant shore,
And friendly hands they seem to beckon,
AZ they beckoned me Of yore.
Its toward the east are the beginnings.
Where our memories fondly dwell.
But westward are the souls aspiring
Visions faith and hope foretell.
I'm looking out LIES westward window,
Where LIES day Is deeting by,
Beyond the vision OF LIES present,
Where the unseen we decry.
Its through the open westward gateway
That shall be passing soon,
beyond suns rising and its se tting,
Where is high eternal noon.

skirt is being quite generally adopted
by our best dressmakers for. walking
gowns 1t consists of six cores and is q
little fuller at the back than is the
Partisan skirt Every seam in the um-
brella skirt is gored ON both edges,
therefore it is necessary to introduce q
piping cord or some other trimming at
the cores to prevent the inevita BILE sag
ging at the seams that must otherwise
occur. All skirts are cut with as pro-
nounced flare at the bottom as it is
possible to give them. They are
trimmed up considerably higher than
they were at the beginning of the sea-
son, the trimming reaching to the knees
or above. AS many as seven rows of
fur separated by space are seen on some
of the new skirts. As single row of
mink-tails, the fashionable trimming,
now costs twenty dollars in q good
quality of fur, as matter of economy
the rows are sometimes limited to
three.
Bands of fancy GALLON, ribbons and
folds of black satin will be used in rows

Pastil to Prevent Fatigue.

comforting upon mankind power to
Withstand fatigue. A pastil which is
said to take the place Of food and drink
was fully tested on q company of Rou:
manian soldiers who completed q
march of seventy-five miles in twenty.
seven hours and whose sole food dur.
ing that time was in the form of these
pastils. For each man had pasti,
every half hour and later on three
every hour: at the same time the
pastils dissolved in q small quantity
of water were supplied the horses which
accompanied the troop. At the con.
clusion of the march both men and of.
ficers declared that they felt no fatigue
whatever and spoke highly of the sus'
tanning powers of the new preparation.
The psstils are said to contain large
quantity of caffeine. -Waverly Maya
