KLINE A SMOOTH ARTICLE.

Americas Bank Determined to Sc
cure Conviction, However.
Americas, Ca, Feb 13.-Abe Kline. the
young drummer, who is apparently want
ed i'm Georgia, Florida and Alabama on
various charges principally the cashing
of worthless drafts. will be brought to
Americas tomorrow for trial upon a
warrant charging cheating and swinding.
Kline caught the local bank here with a
worthless draft, and in order to insure
conviction the bank has telegraphed
Kiine's former employer in Baltimore to
come here Immediately, guaranteeing all
expenses of his trip South. Kline was
tried to-day. in Stewart county upon very
similar charges. but escaped conviction,
probably through lack of sufficient evil
dence. which the Americas bank hopes 10
establish in its case by bringing Balti-
more parties here to testify.

THE HANGING OF GEORGE THOMAS.
Will Occur at Beaufort on Friday.
Arrangements Completed.

Beaufort, 5. c, Feb. INTERPRETATIONS
for the execution of George Thomas, the
negro Sapist. who will pay the penalty
for his crime, committed nearly "A year
ago. on Friday, were practically complet-
ed yesterday afternoon. The gallows,
which is the same on which three muir
derers have expiated their crimes with
In the past two years. stands in the rear
cf the county Jail. Its upper portion is
boarded in to insure privacy in accord
ance with the terms of the law.
Thee condemned mIn has stated that
he will speak from the gallows, hut gives
no assurance that he will make con-
fession of the crime for which he is to
die. The negro gives no evidence of weak
cning and eats and sleeps as well as if
he had an indefinite term of life. Nor
does he appear to have suffered any ply
sical disability by reason of his long
and close confinement in steel combina-
ton cage ~ by Il feet.
Thomas asked The sheriff to-day what
time on Friday he. (the sheriff.. would
hang him. The official replied about half
past eleven IF you don't mind rejoined
the condemned man. Il wish you would
give me until O'Clock" This request
will probably be complied with.
The negro's wife visited him some time
ago. and told him that while she was
sorry for him. he was alone to blame for
his awful plight. Before finally taking
leave of him, she reminded him of his
arrest for a similar crime committed at
WATERFORD, $. c.. some years ago. from
the consequence of which he was fortu-
nate enough to escape.
1t is probable that several hundred ne
groes will flock here on Friday. impelled
by the hope of witnessing the execution,
but they win be disappointed, as the az
fair will be strictly private.

Borrowing MabIn. of Poets.

On Tennyson's habit of failing TO
recognize clearly his own borrowings
from the classical poets, Mr. Lang OBJ
serves that the poets have always had
n kind Of regal Indifference to their
own lighter productions. Mr. Lang
says: Scott did not care; no, not when
he found that he had unwittingly taken
n line from poem by the valet of a
friend. In the preface TO a little col
lection of verses from the novels he
frankly declares that he cannot pretend
to be certain which are of his own com
position and which are not.
"'ro take an example from the level
at the foot Of Parnassus, | once read,
I'm an American paper, some lines at
tributed to Mr.. Austin Dobson Not
bad for Dobson,' | said freely to a
friend. But It was proved on me that
the rhymes were my own Z bard who
forgets his own verses may be par.
doned for remembering those Of other
people and mistaking a half line OF
somebody else's for his own. | dare
say that Tennyson did this OCCASION
ally, but he could hardly say that the
sun sets without being accused of un-
conscious borrowing"

Greek and Romnn stoves.

Warm as Greece and Rome and
Egypt are, stoves were made there in
the dim and misty vistas of the past.
1t was not just the pattern used at

which charcoal was burned. 1t sat in
the middle of the room, and as the re-
sultlng smoke was of the slightest no
opening in the roof or elsewhere was
necessary. The same implement, still

zier, is now employed in many portions
of continental Europe, where It is util

But the progressive Romans i'm
proved on that ana made hypocaust.
1t was the germ of the present fur
mace. 1t was made under the house in
a little cellar prepared for it, and the
heat was conducted TO the rooms and
baths through crevices left in the floor
and lower portions Of the wall. Later

of the old Roman villas in England the
remains of these old time furnaces are
still found.

Man Who Nnmed AmerIcn.

Few Americans are aware of the fact
that the name of their continent Is due
TO a German scholar. In 1907 Martin
Waldseemuller, also known as Hyla-
comylus, Of ST. Die, in the Vosges.
edited book called "CosmographlT
introductio,' in which he gave n trans.
lation of Amerigo Nespuccfs descrip-
ton of his voyages.
That was just the time when Amerl.
go's fame filled the world, while Colum-
bus disgrace ovcrshadowed his merit,
and evidently his name had never
reached the quiet village in the Vosges
when Amerigo trumpeicd forth his own
glory. SO IIylaconylus proposed that.
since the new continent was, after all.
not part of the Indies, no name would
suit IL better than that of his famous
explorer, Amerigo.
The book was read far and wide. and
so quickly was the proposition accepted
that, when later on the true discoverer
was known, the name was already
rooted too deeply in general use to
be abolished ana was even extended
TO the north part Of the continent, while
Hylacomylus had only meant II for
the present South America. - National

Origin of the Clearing House.

In 1910 the bankers of London rented
a house in Lombard street and fitted IL
with tables and desks for the use Of
their clerks as place where bills.
notes, drafts and other commercial pa
per might be exchanged without the
trouble of personal visits of employees
to all the metropolitan banks. Trans
fer tickets were used, and by means OF
this simple plan transactions involving
many millions were settled without a
penny changing hands. The Bank OF
England and every other important
bank in London are members of the
Clearing House association. The first
clearing house in the United States
was established by the associated
banks of New York in 1853.
