Death of DIR. j. q. Maxwell.
Greenwood, S. c., Aug. 13.

| hAeSA ooN0hoA "OSho LihOoo
DR.. j. @. Maxwell died at
his home here last night at II
O'Clock surrounded by his family
and intimate friends. A wife,
one sister, Mrs. Hunter, and one
half brother, Mr.. Thos. Kennedy,
are his nearest surviving relatives
to mourn his death. But his
noble endowment of head and
heart and his self-sacrificing labors
among us for thirty years have
endeared him to those who, with
one accord, amid profuse tears
share common grief with those
who are bound to him by ties of
blood. A most touching incident
was the presence of so many or
phans, boys and girls, with tear
bedimmed eyes and moistened
cheeks, to pay a last tribute to
one of their greatest benefactors.
AS a citizen, soldier, a ply.
sician and philanthropist DR.. J.
@. Maxwell enjoyed a high, ex,
tended and we'll deserved repu
tation, which made him our most
distinguished citizen and a tower
of strength in town, county and
State-one in whose death all
have suffered an irreparable loss :;
but for this fact there is nothing
peculiarly sad about his death,
as it was only happy transition
to higher life with him. He
knew for some time that the end
was approaching, ands-~as fully
prepared to meet it. He dis
cussed it as calmly and as willing
ly as though it was an ordinary
journey.
John Chappell Maxwell was
born in Mississippi November 10
1887, his parents, Robert and
Nancy Maxwell, having moved
there from Newberry county in
1880. DR.. Maxwell was raised
in Newberry county and grad
uated from Erskine College in
1856 and from the University ot
Pennsylvania in medicine three
years later. He practiced al
White Hall, in this county, until
the breaking out of the war, wher
he volunteered as a private in
Company f, South Carolina reg
iment. He was soon elected first
lieutenant of his company. ir
which capacity he was in full
command at several important
battles.
After the close of the war he
settled here and engaged actively
in the practice Of his profession
until the time Of his death. His
ability and the unbounded conf
dence of his fellow men gave hin

have retired several years ago

PASTE DIAMONDS.
Worn by Owners of valaable Gems sor
 Various Reasons.

Various Reasons.
 New Orleans Times-Democrat: Ac- cording to an expert goldsmith, the practice of wearing fake replicas of valuable diamonds is considerably more common than one would sup pose. It Is usually done by people who are in temporary straits and wish to borrow little money on their jew elry without exciting suspicion by it's absence. Of course, such thing as a paste diamond that would stand even the briefest scrutiny of an expert does not exist outside the pages Of romance, but those who are known as the owners Of handsome gems can wear an imitation with good deal of impunity. It never occurs to any of their friends that the familiar stone may be substitute, and it is passed with at most casual glance. It is said that a number of these doubles exist In New Orleans They must be specially mounted to pass muster, and the job, when properly done, is far from easy. Some years ago a local jeweler was commissioned to make a paste duplicate of lady's br cslet. It was narrow hoop of gold set with 10 perfectly matched brilliants weigh ing about two carats each, and alter hated with a similar number of very handsome emeralds. There was no telling exactly what the trinket was worth, for the value of such things is largely arbitrary when they are titled to be classed as unique, but 1t ran some distance into the thousands. The setting of the stones, which was of the style known technically as gypsy that is to say, flush the metal--made them rather easy to initiate, but when the work was partly done, the jeweler grew suspicious that 1t was intended for some improper purpose and refused to proceed without an explanation. The man who gave the order. who was a stranger in the city. pocketed the orl- ginai and disappeared h some agIta- tion.I He was never seen again. and there Is doubtless queer story behind the episode. The half finished brace let is still h the iewe,ar's safe.

 From Farmers Revlew:-This proc ess is the removal of small section of the bark surrounding the cane for the purpose of obstructing ths down. ward flow of sap, which is thereby caused to accumulate in excessive quantities iii the portions of the cane above the ring. and to supply these portions richly with food materials. Experiments were tried last summer to test the results of ringing On sev- erai varieties. The rings of bark were removed in the period between June q and July 5, when the grapes were from one-third to one-half grown. The width of the ring removed in most cases was one-half inch, but on some earss only one-fourth inch. The fol- loa.ing notes taken at the time of rip ertng indicate the results on each variety:
 Concord showed the first on the ringed canes to be slightly larger and day or two in advance of the fruit of the rest of the vine.
 Cambridge showed tue fruit on the ringed canes to be larger. of better quality and two or three days earlier than that on other canes. Brighton showed no difference in quality or size, but three days differ ence in earliness.
 Columbian Imperial showed very great difference in size. the berries averaged one-fifth larger on the rlnged than on the unringed canes. while the ringed canes ripened fruit two weeks earlier than other canes of the same xines.
 Agawain showed only a slight differ ence In size and earliness.
 Herbert showed DO difference except that the fruit on the ringed canes was poorer in quality than the rest.
 Moore's Early showed no perceptible difference in size, quality or earliness.
 Niagara showed the fruit on the ringed canes to be two days earlier and slightly superior in quality to that on the unringed canes.
 The Delaware showed better and earlier fruit on the ringed than on the unringed canes. but showed the best fruit where only small section of the bark had been removed.
 The best results were obtained on canes where the bark oyergrew the sections from which 1t had been rec moved. Where the bark overgrows the section about the time tue first begins to ripen the surplus food ma terlal in the cane Is drawn away into the lower parts of the vine and the fruit ripens with only normal Quan- tity of food material present. If the section is not overgrown. the excess of food remains. the fruit Is forced to ripen with this excess on hand, and hence ripens improperly. The width of the section Of bark to be removed should vary according to the vigor of the cane and the variety. On strong canes Of vigorous varieties three fourths of an inch is not too much while on feeble varieties one-fourth of 2n inch may be sufficient.
