HOUNDS WANTED IN CLARENDON
TO Capture lncendiaries Who Burned
Mr. Dave Candles House.

The sheriff of Clarendon county tele-
phoned to Sheriff Scarborough about
noon for blood hounds, but as the
county now has none and the hounds
are at the State Farm. the request
could not be complied with. The blood
hounds were wanted to run down the
man or men, who, last night, burned
the dwelling house of Mr.. Dave Gam
bic, of the Salem section Of Clarendon
county. The message gave none OF
the particulars Of the burning, bus at
least the crime was heinous one and
the Clarendon county officials are
making every possible effort to effect
the capture of the frebugs.

Finland is not large, just mere speck
on the map of nations, but no country
offers more privileges to women. For
some time women nave been employed
in SITUATIONS formerly occupied by men
only. They have women as clerks, man
ayers of companies, doctors, bank cash
iers. and even as house builders. 1t is
said these women workers are more hon
est then men, too. This emancipation is
not confined to the so-called lower class

say they don't want to acquire any ter

despite her careful nuturing of the same
monarchies of those countries, and her

Germany have secured footholds in We

Instances of amazing longevity are
by no means uncommon in Russia, bu',
the case of the brothers Kovalenko,
aged respectively ll2. lis ana lZo
years, is certainly very remarkable
even for that country. The three
brothers have lived in the same place
all their lives. anS are still strong and
healthy. The eldest. Michael, is of the
same age as was Moses at his pass
ing" and Of him, as of that old world
worthy, IL. can be truly said that his
eye is|not dimmed nor his natural

authentic, for the Russians always
have their papers. in which the date
Of their birth is officially entered, and
without which they cannot reside in
