THE CARE OF CHINA.

It is one thing to have valuable
china and glass, and quite another
matter to keep it. The choice old
china which has descended from a
past generation will never be dupli-
Gated, and the careful appreciate this
fact. Housewives Of other days had
more time They did not live in an
electric age, but stayed at home and
cared for their eggshell china them
care, however, even in this thoughtless
age.
Many persons have the spigots in
their buffers pantry padded to escape
the chipping Of their china. With
glass the extremes Of heat and cold
are to be avoided. A dish will break
of itself if taken from a cold closet
to a heated dining room. Cut glass
should always be washed in tepid
water with the best soap and stiff
brush. Shot should never be used to
clean decanters Or carafes, and it is
sure to scratch the glass. Potato
peelings, if put in the bottles, will
clean them thoroughly if they are
washed in tepid water the morning
after the peelings have been put in.
All this care and attention to details
is a bother, but the new woman may
lay the comforting fact to heart that
she is working along the line of genius,
which has been defined by the great
Goethe "as an infinite capacity for
taking pains" And that thought may
be a sort Of consolation prize.-Phila-

COOKING GREEN PEAS.

Much of the palatableness OF peas
depends, however, upon the cook1ns'
All vegetables should be care1ul'y
cooked to get their best flavor, ana
this is especially true of peas. After
shelling, they should be thrown INTO
cold water for twenty minutes, ano
then drained and put into a Kettle
of boiling water. TO each half gallon
of water used add a level teaspoontul
of salt. Boil slowly in uncovered yes
sci for twenty minutes, If the peas
are young and fresh, or until tender.
If they cook too rapidly they get hard
and lose their shell, while if kept De-
low the boiling point they become

SWIFT RETRlBUTION.
A Trio OF Youthful CuIprits In the
Tolls of the law.

Monday morning when Messrs
Lee and StAmand opened their Of
fee they found that one of the win
dows had been forced open, evidently
by some one with burglarious inten-
ton. They also discovered that the
safe was unlocked and that a sun
of money-something over $40
had been stolen. They Immediately
set to work to try to find out who
had committed the high-handed
burglary. The affair was reported
to the merchants in town who were
asked to look out for suspicious
characters who were conspiciously
flush with coin.
On Tuesday Mr. Winslow Wright
of Scranton, who had heard of the
robbery, telegraphed here that two
small negro boys had been spending
money freely in his store. MIR
Wright was advised to hold the
boys and, accompanied by Sherl1
Graham, Mr. Lee went to Scranton
on the evening train. The boys
proved to be Ben Williams and Sam
Kennedy from Kingstree. Both
were arrested and Ben confessed the
crime, described how it was done
on Sunday morning and implicated
both Sam Kennedy and Asbury Mou-
zon, the latter being negro boy
about Is years old, who was EN-
ployed to clean up the office.
The two boys were, brought back
here Tuesday night and yesterday,
along with Asbary Mouzon. they
were given preliminary hearing
before Judge T E Salters. A prob
able case being made out they were
all three bound over to the circuit
court.
Kennedy and Williams are quite
small and young IN years, but the
former has already figured in one
or two thieving escapades.

TRAGEDY At ROSEMARY.
BAD NEGRO USES PISTOL WITH
DEADLY EFFECT.
One White Man Killed and Another
Wounded-Negro Escaped and
is Still at Large.

ROSEMARY, October 7:-One
man shot and another wounded
is the work of the nimble pistol
in the hands of Rufus PurSy, a negro
desperate, at Rosemary. station on
the G. Il WRR, Just beyond Harpers
and only a few miles from the
Williamsburg line, on Friday even
ing, October 2, at 7:30 O'Clock.
The man who was killed Is Mr.
George H Almeida, a boiler-maker
in the employ of the A. c. Lumber
Co., and the wounded man is Mr. }
P Wheeler of this county. The
negro escaped and so far as we can
learn has not been caught up to this
time Mr. Wheeler's wound fortu-
nately turns out to be flesh one and
serious effects are not apprehended.
Following are the particulars of the
affair as telegraphed to the Columbia
State by its Georgetown correspond
ent:
The negro, a man of very bad
character, made himself very offen-
,sive in the presence of Night Watch
man Wheeler, who was on duty, and
who ordered him off the premises.
The negro cursed the night watch
man and made threats of violence, but
walked away to his cabin. A num-
Der of white men were aroused to
anger by his vile language and fol-
lowed the negro to his place of re-
treat, headed BY Mr. Wheeler. Among
the party was Almeida, young man
who was universally liked, and a
perfect athlete. Wheeler pushed
open the door and walked ir fol-
lowed by the rest, when the negro
opened fire with his pistol, one bull
let striking Wheeler in the mouth
and passing out at the jaw, inflictine
a painful but not dangerous wound.
Almeida received mortal wound
in the head, from the effects Of which
he died in twenty minutes. Great
indignation at the horrible deed OF
this negro is felt here by those who
have so far heard of it, and if he is
clught, summary punishment should
be given him under the law, and
salutary object lesson taught to the
lawless element among the blacks in
this section, at present fast going
from bad to worse.

ANTITRUST organization.
WILLIAMSBURG FARMERS PRO
TECTIvE UNION FORMED
Permanent organizatin Effected and
Officers Elected-Other Busi-
ness Transacted.

The meeting OF farmers and those
of other occupations who sympa-
thize with the producers in their ef-
fort to combat the oppressive power
of the trusts was held in the court
/ house Monday. While the crowd was
not so large as it should have been
there were present representative men
from all sections and the hall of
meeting was comfortably filled.
/ Capt W D Fitch was called to
the chair and w Wolfe was re-
quested to act as secretary.
Capt Fitch explained the object
of the meeting, which was to re-
ceive the reports of committees ap-
pointed at the Lake City conven-
ton. The roll of townships was
called but only few of the dele
gates responded and most of the
reports fiom these were not very
satisfactory; so that finally Mr. Car
ter moved that the calling of the
roll be dispensed with and that the
meeting 60 into convention to effect
permanent organization. This
motion prevailed and there followed
quite a lengthy and spirited discus
sion as to the what plan of organic
alton should be adopted.
1t was finally suggested that the
North Carolina plan be patterned
after and Mr. J G Mccullough
wanted to know what had become
of the North Carolina organization,
as he had heard that it had gone
under. Mr. Carter thought that
that report was erroneous and that it
had been circulated by interested
parties from sinister motives.
MIR AC Stewart wanted to know
if the intention was to fight all
trusts or only the tobacco trust. 1t
was unanimously agreed that the
fight was against all trusts. Mr. W
| W Kennedy: then moved to take a
vote us to whether or not there
should there should be any organic
alton at all. This resulted in q
unanimous affirmative vote. Some
more speaking followed and mo-
tion looking to permanent anti.
trust organization was made and
carried. A motion was made that
the organization be named "The
Farmers Protective Union, and that
the officers, a president, a ,ice-presi-
dent, secretary and treasurer, be
elected and an executive committee
of five be appointed by the chair.
The motion was caSried and the fol-
lowing officers werF chosen.
J Davis Carters president; ] G

The president anuoun ced that

ed to draft resolutions and bylaw;

On this committee the following

was moved that the next meeting be
held on the first Monday in November
