FOR CABLE TO ICELAND.
All North Europe Interested In Pro-
posed Connection with Continent.

posed Connection with Continent.
Washington, Dec. 81. - All northern
Europe is greatly interested in the move
nent to establish telegraphic communica-
lion between Iceland and the continent.
United States Consul Victor e. Nelson
of Bergen says in letter TO the state de-
partment;
Especially will it be valuable in as
sisting meteorological observations, the
various observatories thus being able to
obtain daily kilograms concerning the
state OF weather in Iceland. 1t often hap
pens that storms from the north sweep
,ver Europe without previous atmos-
3heric indications of their approach. The
main question at issue, however, Is lay
ing the cable. 1t will be $50 kilometers
403.S9 milesl in length. extending be-
tween Iceland and the Shetlands. The
Northern Telegraphic company Of Copen-
aagen has offered to lay this cable under
the following peculiar contract:
"The Icelanders shall pay TO the COM
pany a yearly subsidy of s9,3S0 for 20
gears. Denmark is also to pay a yearly
subsidy Of S13.400, and the neighboring
countries are requested to contribute an
aggregate sum Of S91. .450. Thus, togeth-
ar, the interest included, an amount OF
81 100000 is desired by the company
Undoubtedly this business would yield q
fair profit, as the usual price of laying
submarine cable is not higher than S1,20(
sea mile. and. according to this figure
the cost OF laying the proposed line would
not exceed $S50,0t0.
apart from the already mentioned
benefit to meteorology, the cable viii alst
be OF particular service to American
English, French and Norwegian fisher
men, who carry on their trade ON a larg
scale in the neighborhood Of Iceland"

Burned.
We regret to learn of the heavy
loss which befell our old friend,
Mr. w S Horton, who lives near
kershaw, in the loss of his barn
and stables, corn and forage and
a large portion of his wheat and
oat crops, by fire last Thursday
afternoon. The fire originated
from sparks from the engine of
the thresher, end everything being
so dry it was with difficulty that
even his residence was saved. MIR
Robert Floyd lost two very fine
mules by the fire and also had his
thresher badly damaged-the rear
end of it being burned off. The
mules were in the stable when the
hre started but were gotten out
before the fire reached them and
turned loose. 1t was not known
until their charred remains were
found in the debris that they had
run back into the burning build.
lng0and had been burned to death.

neither of them, 80 far as we have

Dear Sir:-Truth will prevail:
many people doubt the Statements
made in behalf of l. & Nj Paint
but when they see how it covers
and wears, they are prevailed up-
on to buy it, and about 10 years
afterward, come back for more.
The old paint is still in good con-
ditlon; but they want to change
the colors on the house. Thin
paints are not in favor because
they are I linseed oil, and nobody
wants to pay paint price for a
lot of linseed oil. White lead all
ways chalks and admits moisture
to the wood. l. & Nj Paint is
non-chalEable, and being SEMI
paste, requires the addition of a
large quantity of linseed oil, which
reduces its actual cost to the
minimum.

The Reunion Pic Mic of the Old
Veterans at Heath Springs.
Thursday was gala day at
Heath Springs. The occasion
was the reunion of the old Con
tederate soldiers of the county.
The attendance was very large,
being estimated at from 1900
to 1900 persons. The decrepit,
the middle aged and the young,
buoyant with life, were all there
and 1t was day of greatest pleas :
ure to all.
Heath Springs and vicinity
proverbial for hospitality, put
their best foot foremost for the
occasion, and compliments shower

tertainment of the old veterans,
their families and friends we're in =

of arrangements, Messrs A 2
Brown, r B Mackey, II Fl Hor-
ton, S w Mobley, w j Hammond
and w I Slower, were untirinc in
their efforts to make the occasion
the grand success that it was.
Nothing was left undone by the
committee that would have added
to the enjoyment of the day. 1t
was conceded by every one pres.
ent to have bcen the most pleasant
day of their lives. The old SOL
diers were all in the best of humor
and happily discussed incidents OF
the war. The Candidates, their
faces all wreathed in happy
smiles, were meeting old friends
and making new ones. The
young folks were carrying on
their sweet little tete a -tetes, and
even the children seemed m ore
full of life than usual in their
romping and playing. 1t was an
ideal day of pleasure.
About noon the long table,
which had been erected under the
shade of the trees, was filled with
the choicest viands and the old
veterans, III strong, were formed
in line by Capt Foster with color
bearer Usher at the head bearing
the handsome banner Of the Dixie

table where a gallant charge was
made for about 40 mnutes, but
they fiual'y retired without much
