An Open Giver.

Earold's father was in the habit of
giving a dollar Sunday to the church.
This was put in a numbered envelope
in the collection plate and the amount
credited to him on the church books.
Mr.. T. was away for the summer and
on his return incosed his arrears IN
the envelope and intrusted it to Har-
old to put on the plate. When the ut
tie boy came home from church, he
said proudly: II put an awful lot OF
money on the plate this morning.
More'n anybody else, guess"
"You got the envelope there oil
rightW asked his father carelessly,
for Harold had been almost afraid to
carry so much money.
"Oh, yes" he said; but took the
envelope of when got there and just
put the money on the plate in my
hand. Nobody'd have known how
much l gave if I'd left it in the en-
velope."

: ] AK Returns
Office County Auditor
Clarendon County,
Manning, S. c., Dec. "a. 1901.

The Auditors Office will be open from
the first day of January, 1902, to the
twentieth day Of February, 1902. to re-
ceive returns of real estate and per-
sonal property in Clarendon County for
the year 1902.
Taxpayers return what they own on
the first day of January, 1902.
All real estate and personal property
must be returned this year.
Assessors and taxpayers will enter
the first given name of the taxpayer in
full. also make a separate return for
each party for the township the prop
erty is in, and where the taxpayers
owns realty, to insert the postottice as
their place of residence, and those who
only own personal property, to give the
party's name who owns the land they
live on as their residence, which aids
the taxpayer as we'll as the County
Treasurer in making the collections
and preventing errors.
Every male citizen between the ages
of twenty-one and sixty years on the
first day of January, 1902, except those
incapable of earning a support from
being manned. or from other causes.
shall be deemed taxable polls. This
does not apply to Confederate soldiers
over fifty years of age.
All the returns that are made after
the twentieth day of February will have
penalty of so per cent. added thereto.
unless out of the county during the
time of listing. Not knowing the time
of listing is no excuse.
The assessing and collecting of taxes
is all done now in the same year, and
we have to aggregate the number and
value of all the horses, cattle, mules,
ETC.. and their value that there IS IN
the county. and have same on file IN the
Comptroller Generals Office by the
thirtieth day of June each year. And
from that time to the first day of Octo-
Der each year the Auditor and Treas
urers duplicate has to be completed
and an abstract of the work in the
Comptroller's Office by that time, which
will Show at a glance that the Auditor
has 10 time to take in returns or do
ANYTHING else much, between the first
day OF March and the first day OF Octo-
Der each year but work on the books
and blanks. Therefore hope that all
taxpayers will do me the favor of MAX
ing their returns in time.

EaMks' Eggs.

A peculiar fact in collecting birds
eggs is the wide difference in values
of eggs Of the same family Of birds.
For instance, there is the great family
Of hawks. Some hawks eggs are worth
only a few cents each, and other
hawks eggs find a ready sale at So, So
and 81 each. 1t makes hundred dol
lar bill look dilapidated to buy a COM
plete set of even western hawks eggs,
while a full set Of all known hawks
eggs cost upward Of 5000. The eggs
Of a marsh hawk, red back hawk
and copper hawk may be bought for
20 cents each, and the broad winged
hawks eggs will bring 81 each the
world over. The eggs Of Swainson's
hawk and the buff breasted hawk are
worth $3.50 each.

SAVED BY DUST.
How . Handful of Soldiers Fooled


How q Handful of Soldiers Fooled
General Early.
s'Did l ever tell you how clouds Of
dust once saved Washington city from
what many people believe would have
been certain capture at the hands of
the Confederates?" asked member Of
the old Veterans Reserve corps, which
was on duty at Fort Stevens during the
war.
1T was when the Army of Northern
Virginia was just outside the Capital
City. You may remember that General
Early, who was in command Of this
particular division of The Confederate
forces, in writing to refute statements
published in northern papers to the ef-
feet that he could easily have marched
into Washington. said: 1 knew the de-
fenses were weak when l arrived, but
my troops were so exhausted from the
enforced march that halt was abso-
lutely necessary, and the next morning
l knew, By clouds Of dust, that re-en-
forcements had arrived
"That dust, gentlemen, was raised by
q few men. not exceeding 100, Of the
Veteran Reserve corps. The Temporal
~ commander Of this company. ! stout
man Of medium height, whose name or
rank did not learn, because he wore
no blouse or insignia, placed the men in
line in the rear Of and between Fort
Stevens and Fort Slocum. After max
ing q short speech in which he urged
every man to do his best he directed
US to march down some distance on the
grass past Fort Stevens. Once there
he told us to break ranks and right
about, returning in the middle Of the
road and kicking up all the dust we
possibly could.
We doubled on the line, marching
down on the grass and coming back in
the dusty road. 1t was q dry season,
and we all had on broad soled shoes.
We made the dust fly, tell you, and
it is no wonder General Early thought
re-enforcements by the thousands had
come to the relief Of the handful on

The Towers Of Silence.

In Persia stand two towers called by
the Parsee the Towers Of Silence. Ac-
cording to the religion, they never bury
their dead, but have the body exposed
on the top Of one Of these towers until
the sun and the rain and the fowls Of
the air have cleaned the bones Of all
flesh. The bones are then collected
and placed in the other tower: These
Parsees. who are followers Of Zoroas-
ter and very devout, have almost disap-
peared as q people, there being only
about 5000 Of them at the present
time.

lTGH IS TORTURE

Eczema is caused by all acid hunor in
The blood coming il contact with the
skin and producing great redness and in
hammation little pustular eruptions form
and discharge thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and hssured. Eczema IN any
form is tornenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbeaIable; the acid burning
humor seems to ooze out and set the skin
on FIRE. Salves, washes nor other exter-
nal applications do any real good, for az
long as the poison remains in the blood
It will keep the skin irritated.

LADIES AT DINNER.
From the Position oc Carver to til
Principal Seat.

From the Position OF Carver to the
Principal Seat.
The presence Of ladies at dinner was
brought about by necessity more than
by the gall;intry due to their sex.
Servers and henchmen were superseded
by lady carvers, who worked at side
table. In El;Zabethan times ut private
dinners it became usual to place the
principal joints and grand pieces at
the upper end of the table. above the
salt, so the chief guests could see the
Joints and secure choice helpings. We
have something Of this kind in the hab-
1t which prevails at restaurants of first
showing the game, poultry, ETC., TO the
diners before carving. The place which
came to the fair sex from necessity was
soon claimed By them as their right,
and they passed from the menial posi-
ton of carver to the occupiers Of the
principal seat. The lady had helpers
who deemed it an honor to serve her
in their turn.
In this duty Of semiprofessional cary
er lies one Of the first causes Of the
paper frills for legs Of mutton, ETC., for
it was used in every case where the op-
orator had to grasp some tangible part
of the joint with the left hand. In 1868
q grand dame suggested that it would
appear more comely and decent to use
a fork" this in spite Of existing pref
udice.
1t was at this time, too. that travellers
from Holland introduced into England
the fashion Of seating men and women
alternately, the adoption Of which put
an end to lady carvers. Then the au-
thor Of "The Cooks Oracle" suggested
that joints and large birds should be
carved before they came to table, thus
starting the now prevailing fashion Of
carving at the side table.
