Resolutions of the Laurens County
Medical Society,

ncuical S0clctl.
WHEREAS, DR.. J. Patillo Simp-
500, an active member and an
EX-Prcsident of this Society, died
at Glenn Springs, S. c., on Dec.
Bird 1899.
Resolved lst: That in the death
of DR.. Simpson we feel the loss of
a true and noble christian citizen,
one who performed modestly but
well the duties of life in every
position in which he was placed.
He never faltcred or complained
but with energy, promptness and
fortitude, he fought life's battles
until called upon to lay down his
armOr.
End: That as q member Of this
Society he was at all times attcn.
tive, courteous and accommodate
ing to his colleagues, exhibiting in
all our transactions a degree of
learning and proficiency, which in
creased our information and en-
hanced the pleasure of meeting.
At the bedside of the afflicted,
vino gave him their confidence. he
was kind, tender and sympathe-
TIC, never for moment forget
ting their case, but with the true
physicians love for his profession,
he brought to bear every remedy
that Il careful insight and cor
rect Judgment could suggest for
their restoration to health.
Bird: That in his untimely tax
ing off the State has lost Il pa
trlotic and progressive citizen, the
city and county of Laurens use
full and loyal son whose place it
will be hard to fill. While many
friends mourn his death he has
left behind him The SAVIOR of a
well spent life. The decree of Ma
ture's God ''Dust thou art--to
dust thou shalt return" has been
fulfilled, but separated from its
mortal coil his noble soul has
found rest beyond with the God
who gave it, for when he came to
that river which marks the un-
known shore his hands were filled
with deeds of charity. the golden
keys that 'ope the palace of etcr-
nifty"
lth: That we deeply sympathize
with the wife, children and rela-
tlves of the deceased and hereby
tender to them our heartfelt con-
dolcnces in this hour of bereave-
ment; that our Secretary be i'll

BREWERTON ITEMS.

We have just passed through
another very cold spell of weather
which did some damage to small
grain, but we are having just now
some warm and rainy weather,
which will give the grain chance
to make some growth, and also
make bad roads for the farmers to
haul the precious stuff which has
been spoken of SO much of recent
date.
Well, there is no use to say
anything about guano, ,--the peo-
pie will use it let the cost be
what it may.
Will turn my attention to the
road business. The great trouble,
we believe, about the road bust
ness is, the law in regard to the
working of the roads is not prop
crly enforced. The Supervisor of
the county neglects to do his full
duty in regard to the working of
the roads and consequently the
road-overseers fail to discharge

OUEEREST OF FOSSILS
Jaw of Some Huge Animal Found in
New Mexico.

New Mexico.
The fossil remains of a strange pre-
historic animal were discovered at
postmaster Nusbaum's ranch, at Tesu-
que. Alphonso Dockweiler, who has
charge of digging a ditch through
ridge on tho ranch, picked up a piece
of petrified bone the shape of large
tongue, but with a row of II teeth
along what seemed to be the tip OF
the tongue. He dug a little further
and found the remainder of what
seemed to be the jaw of an animal
that was part ichthyosaurus and part
plesiosaurus, with part of the charac-
teristics of the pterodactyl perhaps.
The Jaw consisted of about 20 layers of
bone in the shape of a tongue, and each
layer was armed with dozen teeth,
which showed that the animal was
herbivorous and not carnivorous
These 20 layers were evidently the up
per jaw of the animal. Mr.. Dock
weller expects to find the lower jaw
and perhaps all of the remains of the
strange animal. AS much as he has
found he will bring to this city, and
| from here ship it to the Smithsonian
Institution in Washington. Two lay
ers of the jaw were brought to the city
| by ]. G. Schumann and shown to
friends, who were all puzzled by their
unusual shape. 1t is well known that
the surroundings of Santa Fe abound
with submarine fossil remains, which
seem to prove that in long-gone-by
ages the site of the city was covered
by a sea. Only half a mile up the
arroyo and canyon that branch of
Palace avenue, near the old brewery
pretty petrifled seashells are to be
found. At many other places there are
unmistakable signs of the erosion OF
waves and the footprints of gigantic
animals that probably made their
home both in the water and on the
land when the highest peak Of the
Rocky mountain range were only ISL
ands in vast ocean.-Santa Re New

Louisiana Rice Is Red.

The rice planters and millers OF
Southwestern Louisiana are having
some trouble with the crop this season.
For some unaccountable reason a con-
siderable percentage of it is red. This
is not the first season that red grains
have appeared among the white, to be
sure, but never before has the proper
ton been so large. An examination
by chemists has shown that the red
rice is equally nutritious as white
The value Of the article as a matter OF
food is not in the least injured by the
red grains. But the fact remains that
the colored grains injure the sale OF
the rice they appear in.

PRISON BABIES.
Create n Flutter of Excitement in Their
Gloomy birthplace.

Gloomy birthplace.
Very few people outside official cir
cles know what a large number OF
babies are born every year In the in
firmaries of prisons and peniten-
tiaries, the little people always caus-
ing quite a flutter of attentiveness and
excitement among female warders and
prisoners alike. OF course there is a
vast difference in prisoners, and some
times the person least attentive to the
prison baby is the mother herself; but,
on the other hand, the general body
Of the women prisoners make the most
pathetic efforts, by means of all man
ner of trifling scraps and odds and
ends, to fabricate articles OF wear and
ornament for the out-of-place little
stranger. Quite three-fourths of the
women volunteer to tend it, and it is
often the case that the most refrac-
tory and difficult of the prisoners soft
en- and greatly alter by being allowed
to do little things for it; indeed, it
acts throughout like a veritable ray
of sunshine among the whole of
the poor prisoners, who generally man
age to get themselves into great good
humor by suggesting as volubly as the
prison rules will permit fantastic
names for the child. Within a certain
period of their birth these children are
taken away from the mother and are
tended elsewhere with the utmost care
and humanity.
