SOUTH AFRICAN LAWS.
There Life Is Valued at Less Thas
 Diamonds.

BfamOu4sa
 Kim nberlev proper is built around a hole big enough to hold the entire white population of South Africa. This is the excavation above the Kimberley mine, made when diamonds were mined from the surface. Nowadays shafts are sunk and levels formed. whence re blue ground is blasted out and haafed to the surface in elevators The diamond is different from other precious stones, in that it is found in soft clay, while the amethyst. ruby and emerald are embedded in quartz. This makes the diamond easy to conceal in the mouth. nose, and by swallowing. and every year the De Beers company gets from the workmen $2,000.000 worth Of stolen goods. The inelina= ton to piIfer these stones is so intense that the crime is severely punished. h South Africa inc first commandment is Thou shalt not steal diamonds For having q diamond found on his person that is not registered q man will get % years imprisonment. At Cape Town is g great convict station called the .Breakwatef, where sons of prominent American families and English aris- tocrats join in lockstep with Lascars and Kafirs. They have all violated the first commandment. h Kimberley ,00O negro conyicts sort the diamonds under the muzzles of Martini rifles They are kept in a separate place. The other black boys live in fYe-acre in closure known as the compound The De Beers company controls the dia- mond market of the world Of the five mines-Kimberley, De Beers, Du Toits. Pan Bullfontein, and Premier-tAe first two are situated in Kimberley and are the only ones worked now. The dia- monds produced in other parts of the world would not supply the city of Philadelphia. The value of the South African product thus far has been $500 .000, ,000. The supply seems inex. haustible. e."-Ainslie's Magazine.

BIBLE WfTH ROMANTIC HISTORY
1t Vas Found on che Plains and Used

 on Many Ceremonial Occasions.
 The Bible which was used in the ceremonies beginning =tHe celebration in this ely of the fftieth anniversary of the state of California has history that is=8eFg interesting In IS. .a young nan in coming across the plains found pie of books by the side of the road with stick stuck among them bearing a note telling travellers to help themselves. The young man in searching through the old volumes found 9 handsome Bible, which he con sidered 3 shame to be left upon the lreary desert He placed it in his pack and carried it to Sacramento. Ha presented II to Dr. R. IL Mcdonald, who at that time conducted drug store in that city. Some time after the advent of the Bible into Sacramento Q meeting was called in that city for the purpose of founding lodge of Masons. That was on Jan. 8, 1850, and the lodge was 10 be known as Connecticut Lodge, No 75. It chaneeE that the meeting place was adjoining the premises occupied by Dr. McDon- aid. When it was convened 1t was found that there was no Bible at hand with which to conduct the ceremonies and Dr. Mcdonald presented the book that had been given to him by the young man for the lodges use. On the 18th of the following April the grand lodge of Masona vas formed and the Bible again played an important part in the ceremonies After the form ation of the grand lodge the name of Connecticut lodge was changed to fe- hama lodge. No. 3. but ever since it's establishment on Jan 8. 1850, the Bi- ble has remained in the possession of the lodge. R. o. Craven, 8 prominent officer of the lodge. has been appointed to represent the lodge here during the jubilee exercises and serves as the GUS todian of the prized old book during it's visit to this city.-san Jose (Cal.)

''The twenty-four hour system Of Keeping time has just become the of ficial standard in France" said Mir. Jules Lacori, of Paris, at Chamber lain's.
 The twenty-four hour clocks are al ready an established institution in Russia, and l believe that their official sanction in our country will lead to the adoption of the system on French rail- roads, which would surely lead to the extension of the plan throughout Italy Switzerland and Spain. I should think considering the manifest merits of the new way the railways of the United States, which are the most progressive in the world, would soon take it LID and have done with the ancient system. so confusing and misleading through the enforced use of a. n. and p. m. The twentyfour hour clock system is an ideal one for the railways, absolutely preventing all danger through the dup lcation of hours for day and night sFt is the coming system, and { look to see 1t in operation in America in the near future.

We are reliably informed tha Prosecuting Attorney Sorrelts at the April term Of the grand jury earnestly endeagored to secure in- dictment Is at the hands of that body for the frauds alleged to have been committed in the March primary. This, ue hope, Is true, and we also hope that be will earnestly labor to secure the indictment of the afore- sad parties at the present session The matter Is loo serious to be lightly overlooked. There are =ru mors that the complexion of tbe present. grand jury ls suca that no indictments can be brought against the ealpfits, and that it vas paf- posely fixed that way, This we are not prone to believe, but however that may be, the prosecuting at toraey should bring the facts before the grand jury fa such an over whelming manner that it cannot fail to indict. As to whether tue personnel of the grand jury vas purposeIy selected so as to prevent the finding of indictments, subse- quent events alone will disclose.
 During the last contest In tbis county there were charges of fraud on both sides.
 The April grand jlrY reported that there were evidences Of fraud in Washington and Bolivar town : ships, but claimed that they did not have sufficient time to investi- gate, and therefore referred the matter to the next grand jury. Now let us have a full, fair and unbiased investigation, followed by iadiet- ment agaiest every guilty party, regardless of the political faction to which be belonged, so that stop can be put to such disrepatable practices in the future. The repu- tation and standing of our people at home aLd abroad, aud the honor Of the Democratic party demand it.
 The MeCoyite5 in the last cam paign undertook to shield their owr side of the house 5y shouting fraud on the other side. The McCoyltes are in control of county affairs. If they were honest and sincere in their contentious, why not follow up their declarations with indiet ments against those who committed or attempted to commit the frauds. And, as we go along, let us also have an investigation into the frauds said to have been committed in Washington aud Bolivar townships.
 The Graphic is for an investiga ton and indictment against every individual. regardless of parties, faction or persons, who committed or attempted to commit any fraud whatever ia the last primary. This much is due the morals of the com munity and the name of Democracy, V hich we honor and revere.

The Milwaukee Biennial.

The Delaware clubwomen who ex-
pect to attend the general federation
of clubs at Milwaukee will take with
them a formal petition asking the
federation to appoint a committee to
investigate the need OF compulsory
education laws and to agitate for the
passage of such, and their rigid en-
forcement They will state that in
Delaware alone there are 1000 children
who are not attending school, and there
is no way of making them do so, and
the general federations influence for
compulsory education laws is asked
Among the attractions that will add
interest to the meeting will be an ex-
hlbit by the Art Committee, which in
cludes many beautiful laces, Mexican
and other pottery, straw work, shawls,
etchings and engravings, embroidery,
designs, bookmaking and sculpture
all womens work. The competition of
artists for interiors of homes will also
be an interesting feature. 1t is hoped
that many of the delegates will remain
for the summer in the pine woods, or
at the inland lakes whose solitude and
beauty equal that of the Adirondacks
or Maine woods.

Boy Crushed to Death.

Young William Pascoe, living with
William Lawson, near Robbins Station,
was crushed to death at the station
while driving his mule team. 1t is
supposed that the mules started while
the boy was climbing into the cart,
and the little fellow was caught be-
tween the joist of the coal shed and
the wagon seat, breaking his neck and
jaws by the force of the crash. The
wagon which contained charcoal, was
blocked and the mules could not move
from their position.
The maitron of a Philadelphia or
phanage, from whence the boy had
come, came down to investigate, and
disapproval at so small a boy
being left to perform such dangerous
work. The dead boy was discovered
by Stationmaster Lekites very early in
the morning.
