BlACKSBURG LIME WORKS.
Interesting Letter From Annie
J,aHrie.

Although the lime works Is only n
slor, distance from my home only
visited it recently and found things
very diff; rent f"om what exp .rted.
Wien child | "tteu helped tather

that lime was burned somewhat after
this fashion. Imagine my surprise
at finding shed with a great round
chimney protrudng some distance
above aud below and having at the
bottom furnace that looks very much
like steam engine furnace, having
doors with which to open and put in
wood.
The place where the fire is put
does not extend clear across the
furnace. It is built so as to leave a
round opening in the center the exact
size Of the chimney. This furnace is
built in the side Of n hill, it having
been dug down several tect and walled

from the wall back several feet Th.
floor OF this shed looks like it was
cemented but there was 80 muob
debris scattered around ON it l could

the chimney is a hole where the lime

After exploring the lower portion
l went up on top of the hill and
reached the top of the chimney by
means Of pole road. 1t is at the
top where the lime stones are dropped
INTO the furnace until it is full. them
a fre is built on each side and kept
burning until they crumble. Just
now the dross is separated from tho
line am unable to say, but saw large
heaps of it lying around.
After looking around for soma
specimens of this oar | went to the
quarry The quarry is Just below
the lime spring and was almost full
of water. The walls of this quarry
are solid rock. 1t is picturesque

1t photographed for THE TIMES with
Annie seated on rock near the
waters edge. The lime works, like
most all industries, are owned by
northern capitalists.

The people that will pay man in

And then there are so many people
here who have learned to trust G I'd
that it is indeed pleasant to work for.
Despite the stringency of the times
arrangements have been made to
raise tn pastors salary 500 for
1902. Surely the god Lord will
remember such kindness. The Wht-

their unstinted kindness to rhis end.
The directors OF these worthy enter.

We'll it looked like Nmas at the

their faces. and especially when Mr..

Ida Owens, of Lime, N. c., ap-
peared before the altar for matri-

gay crowds add great deal Of Lie

We would be glad to welcome
some of the Uniopites undr,r

it is lie, for we ourselves have paid

wages here have gone down. Where
is the farmer who can make money
by paying as good wages as few

PAPYRUS FOUND WHICH CONTAINS
PART OF CHAPTER OF ST. MATTHEW

tunately, too. says Dr.. WiuslOw, is the
University of Pennsylvania to possess
a splendid papyrus Of a large part Of
the fifth book of .he Had in very good
text. 1t dates a little later than 200 A.
D. The accentuatiOn is full and some
what unique.
The petition CT DiOnysia to the pre-
feet, dating $50 A. D, is d legal docu-
ment of many pages, full of just such
references to presidents as one finds in
court of 1901. DiOnysia claims her right
contract and enjoy the income of it,
her father. a bit of Euclid of the third
century illustrates proposition five Of
the second book. and papyrus 290 re-
Veals the fact that private Syndicates
existed at So A D., for 1t states how a,
company Of residents got together to
do some banking at the village of Tux

funds, is meant, in order to keep their
lands from being too much watered.
All in all, these papyri form a wonder
ful collection for any library or mu-
scum to possess. A Philadelphia last
season sent to the Egypt exploration
fund office in Boston a check for $3.50,
and DR.. WinSlow says that is why
Philadelphia reaps so handsome a re-

as all subscriptions to the explorations

nounced the discovery OF a most Talua-
bic trophy among the large number of
papyri recently received by DR. Wins
versitieg, twenty-nine of which went
to the University Of Pennsylvania
1t is the oldest fragment Of the Sos-
peis in the world now in this country
Dr. Winslow states that the papyrus

was found at OXyrhyrnchus, 40 miles
south of Cairo. near the famous 'Lo-
gia" OF Sayings Of Jesus and its
date is placed by some experts at 100
A D, and by the editors of the socle-
ties publications at fifty or SIXTY years
later
This papyrus Of st. Matthew belongs
to the same class as the famous sinaiic
and vatican codices, and, of course, is
a remarkable confederation of those
texts and the present accepted version.
On an important doctrinal point it de-
clares in common the exact language,

WHAT BECOMES OF CORKS.
How They Are Gathered and to
Whom They Are Sold.
~ 20 Evening -.

Cork is one of the most Indispensable
articles, yet, useful as it is and harm
less as it appears, it is made q means
OF danger to health by trade competi-
ton. Not that anything nOXioUs occurs
in the original growth or preparation
for market Of the COTkWOOd, or even in
the process Of charTing the surface and
closing the pores by extreme heat,
which IS said to give the elasticity and
hexibility known to the trade as
nerve" When 1t comes on the market
it is without any deleteriOus qualities.
1t is after the cork in its finished state
has served its purpose in the neck Of a
bottle that it begins its degenerate
course.
A cork once drawn and the bottle
and contents disposed of, is thrown
away generally as waste, especially in
private houses, though in the liquor
trade they are often preserved for sale
to itinerant dealers, who purchase them
for a. trifle. Those which are thrown
away graYitate to the ash and garbage

there is a little poison or worse in
them, what does it matter? thinks the
careful dealer

and IS said to be very profitable, many
having grown rich at i, and carrying
on big esta blishments, with agents at
all main points. It is conducted mostly
by foreigners. and has representative

EXPLAINS ROSS AFFAIR.
And Professor Branner of Stanford
Uses Strong IanpuaOe.

Chicago, Feb. 27.-At a banquet given
tonight by the University of Chicago club
in honor Of the delegates to the second
annual convention of the American uni
versities. now in session in this city, Vice
President j. c. Branner of Leland STAN
of Speech in University Circles" and took
advantage of the occasion to Law before
the 200 assembled guests the opinions
shared by himself and the other members
of the Stanford faculty concerning the
case of Professor Ross
Il wish to say, said the speaker that
the statement that the founder of our
university ever demanded the removal of
any one is absolutely false. Her opinion
that Professor Ross was not a fit person
to hold the position of an instructor was
shared by fully fOur-fifths of the faculty.
Stanford university believes in leav-
ing and leaves its professors complete
freedom in matters of opinion, instruction
and action. But believing as we do that
all freedom has its proper limits we think
that every one must exercise such self
restraint as VIII prevent his infringing
upon the rights of others. In this direc-
ton we propose to protect the name of
the university and the rights Of the stu
dents entrusted TO us, and intend to
see TO it that the university vii mot,
be made the noSy tail-piece of any pOlit-
through the zeal Of some Of its professors,
zeal party.
I'VE think this but fair in the long run
10 every one concerned. but in any case,
it is the one course that ordinary self
respect leaves open to US. and yet, IN our
