Anti.Britlsh Scenes.

London. April 4.-Dispatches
received here from Paris reiterate
the stories Of affronts to Lord
Darlington and his suite return
ing from Lisbon after formerly
announcing King Edwards ac-
cessiOn to King Charles of POr-
tugal. 1t seems that the train on
which the mission travelled con-
veyed a number of nurses return
ing from the Boer army. The re-
suit, says a dispatch to the Ex-
change Telegraph company from
Paris, was that at every station
there was violent anti-British
scenes. Lord Darlington and his
suite were openly insulted while
the nurses we-e greeted with
loud cheers. The situation be-
came so intolerable that the
British mission finally changed
cars.

MARBLE QUARRY IN CROSS KEYS.
Bright Prospects for the Keys--An
InexhaustibIe Supply of the
Finest Marble Found on Mr..
Felix Greeory's Place.

Mr.. Editor: Your correspondent. in
company with Messrs. B. G. Wilburn
and l.. j. Browning, visited the marble
quarry one mile and half west of Cross
Keys this morning. This quarry was
discovered about two years ago by Mr..
G. R. Prince and Mr.. B. F. Himby, on
place or plantation known as the G..
Sanford Gregory place. At the death OF
the said Mr.. Gregory, this part Of the
estate, consisting Of about so acres with
the quarry, was awarded to Mr. G.
Felix Gregory, formerly of Cross X eys,
). c., Dut who now is a resident of New
York city. A few days ago Mr.. G. F.
Gregory came back to this state, en-
ployed a number of hands and in a short
time has unearthed and brought to the
surface between eight or ten car loads Of
as fine marble as can be found in any
state in the union. In conversation
with Mr.. Joe Smith, of Clinton, S. c.,
a man Of great experience in quarries
and marble works, in fact has spent most
of his life in monumental work and
would be taken as authority in such mat
tiers, said that he lad visited the Ten
nessee quarries, also quarries in the state
Of Georgia, but this surpasses anything
he had ever seen in quality and quantity.
The quarry Is about nine miles to the
nearest railroad point, it is surrounded
by the finest aud most picturesque farm
lands in the South, is one of the most
healthful localities and when once de-
veloped this part of the state of South
Carolina could rightly be called the
garden spot of the South. 1t seems that
the cross that has SO long held the keys
is about to be unlocked by one of our
worthy young men who left US twenty
years ago.
It seems that progress is the watch
word all along the line, and this new
year together with the ushing in of the
new century, grand things are in store
for us, and we hope our northern friends
will hold up short time on mill sites,
and make q thorough investigation Of
what the God Of nature has placed so
near our homes In this hill or mountain
Of the purest marble. say, and voice
the sentiment of every man in this sec
ton, success to you, our life long friend
Gregory, may you be able to induce
some of your New York neighbors to
aid you in this laudible undertaking, and
that you may live to see the home Of
your birth blossom like q rose. Cross
Keys is proud Of you; let US hear from
you often.

Herman Graf Hoffman,, noted ex-
plorer and scientist, tells remarkable
story of his capture and escape from a
tribe of Bola Bola men in the wilds Of
Africa. These people, says tie Count,
are remarkable In many ways, but most
surprising is their great age, many living
to be $50 years old, although 100 to 1875
years is the average age. Our German
friend and his companion soon discovered
the cause of their longevity. After two
years they made their escape, not, how
ever, until they had learned the secrets
of these magnifcently preserved people,
how they prolong life, retain health, In
fact they have discovered veritable
fountain Of youth, 'Longayita" ad. In
another column tells you all about It.
