A VALLEY OF Death In Bolivia.

There is a valley in Bolivia, South
America, which might well be called
the Valley Of the Shadow Of Death. It
has been inhabited for an indefinite
period Of years by the Kanaa Indians,
who are kindred to the various South
American tribes and number now only
a few hundred souls. That they were
once a very powerful tribe is indicated
by the condition Of the land which
they as 4 tribe still inhabit. One can
not travel any distance through their
land without coming upon the old and
forsaken burial grounds Of the kanaa
dead. These places cannot be called
graveyards, for the bodies are not
buried, but rather placed upon eleTat-
ed platforms, wrapped in the garments
of death and bound to the crossbeams
that they may not be displaced.
In one Of these burial grounds there
will be probably fifty high skeleton
platforms and on each will lie from
three to FIVE Of the Kanaa dead. The
air in that part Of Bolivia is very pure
and nreservative, for it is one Of the
highest plateaus Of the continent, al
though Kanaa valley is just little
below the plateau's height a traveller
passing through that land at night and
by moonlight would be aWestricken at
the gloomy vision those grayeyards
present.

An Affair of Letters.

We are much surprised at meeting
little Polly Contossel, formerly Of Bow

"Why, Pollyw we say. "How IS it
we find you here"
Polly she repeats, with a dignity
we never knew she possessed. Lady
Oledebts, if you please"
An apology on our part establishes
friendly relations once more, and she
tells us that she really has won and
welded Lord O1edebts and that her IA
TIERS dollars are icing expended in the
refurbishing Of the Oledebts castle.
But" we say, cit was rumored in
Bowersville that you we're hesitating
in your choice between three honest

"She has promised to marry you, has
she? Did she accept you right off,"

"Four times! Gracious, but you were
persevering! What did she say the

"She said if there wasn't another

'.That was pretty strong. What did
she say the second time?"
'tShe said she liked me pretty well,
but she couldn't think Of marrying me,
for she might see some one she liked

"Humph! And the third time?"

PIT BROW WOMEN.

Hard Lot of Female Workers About
English Coal Mines.
Pit brow women are among the most
remarkable women workers in the
world They work as hard as men and
dress almost like them. Five thousand
of these women fnG employment in
Lancashire, England, in the coal mines.
Their work lies on the pit brow at tie
surface and not down below. Once wo-
men were employed in the coal seams,
but in 1S42, in the face Of great oppo-
sition from colliery owners, an act vas
passed prohibiting women and children
from being employed below the surface
in coal mines.
at present the duties of the pit brow
women consist in dealing with the coal
as it comes up the shaft to the pit head.
When the cargo reaches the top they
haul out the wagons, which contain
several hundredweigh:5 of coal each,
and run them on the rails to sort Of
tipping machine. which shoots the coal
down below to the screen Of the rid
ding machine. Among the other du-
ties Of be women is the leyeling Of the
coal OH he wagons which receive it as
it drops from the screen.
fSsS start work at 6 o'clock in the
morning and d7nsssh at 4 in the after
noon. They receive 2 shinngs er less
day, and men that do the same wofa.
get sbillings. Their costume consists
Of trousers and clogs and often enough
q cape which has at one time been
worn by a brother. When going to
and from work the girls and women
wear petticoats, which they roll up
around the waist while engaged on
the pit brow. The hair is closely COY
cred with a handkerchief, on top Of
which is a soft bonnet.

Owes His Life to a Neighbor's Kindness.

Mr.. D. P. Daugherty, well known
throughout Mercer and Sumner coun-
ties, W. Va, most likely owes his life
to the kindness of a neighbor. He was
almost hopelessly afflicted with diar-
rhoea: was attended by two physicians
who gave him little, ifany, relief, when
a neighbor learning of his serious con-
dition, bought him a bottle of Cham

ROB STORE P. E. Kern Loses $500
 Worth of JeWelry

The iewelry store of ?. E. Kern, on Broadway, was broken into some time between a late hour Friday night and daylight Saturday morning, and about $500 worth Of jewelry taken out, The entrance Co the store was through the back door, one of the glass panes of which was taken out and the door opened. It is thought there was more chan one burglar, as the tracks at the back door were of two sizes.
 The robbers were either in a great hurry or were scared away, as not more than half of the jewelry that had been left in the windows and showcases was taken. The goods in the window Co the left of the entrance and one tray in ths showcase on the same side of the building. only, were touched. Some of the articles in the window that could be reached only with difficulty were left.
 The greatest loss consisted of 2l ladies' and mems watches, though a great deal of nugget jewelry, watch chains. breaches, pins, bracelets, elks' teeth and other articles were also taken. The tray in the showcase which was emptied, contained gold chains
 All the diamonds and most of the very valuable iewelry had been put in che safe by Mr. Kern, which was not moles,ed.
 The robbery took place some time after midnight, as Mir. Kern did not leave the store until late-after II o'clock. and from that hour until after I2 o'clock people were going home from the Century dance.
 Deputy Marshal Shook and City Mar ,haI Burns have been working on the ease.

We did not attend the State
Fair but those who did speak OF
il as being the best yet had. The
attendance was good, and the
exhibits fine. The city authori-
Ties did excellent work in keep
inc down gambling and tigerism,
and no little credit should be
given to the Columbia papers for
agitating the enforcement of the
laws against this evil. Columbia
was freer from the gambling en-
ticements this fair than ever be-
fore, which means that tilous-
ands of dollars were saved to an
element who would have been
caught in the meshes of the nim-
ble-fngered gentry. Yet, be
cause the Columbia newspapers
demanded Of the police strict
enforcement Of the laws, there
was an element who cried out,
and denounced the newspapers,
claiming their editorials would
hurt business by keeping people
away from the fair. If any peo-
pie were kept away by the de-
mands of the newspapers it was
a class whose nefarious business
the papers were fghting-gam-
blers and strumpets.

Turbeville Dots.
Editor The Manning Times:

The friends of Mr.. D. L. Green are
glad to know that he is slowly improv-

The following attended the State fair
in Columbia: J. F. Cole, D. E. Cole. E..
a. Green, J. L. Green, J. a. Green. D.
E. Greene, D. E. Turbeville and Mrs.
Rachel Wilson. They all report q nice
trip, and say the fair was the best they
have ever attended. Some of the fair
ones" in Columbia evidently captivated
the young men OF the crowd, as some OF
them spent the entire week. 'Dannle'
saws, THE fair was good, the carnival
better, and the fair ones the best oi
all" We are not surprise at Dannle as
he has always been known to have Il
special fondness for girls.
The students of the High School &C.
partment of our school have organized
a literary society which they have
named in honor of our Southern poet,
Lanier. They have adopted royal pur-
ple and old gold for the colors. The
following officers were elected: Fred
Morris, president: Eugene Smith, vice
president: Fannie Greene, secretary:
Clarissa Whitaker, treasurer: ltasca
Turbeyille, 1st critic: George Greene,
2nd critic. The society will meet every
Friday afternoon. The exercises will
consist OF recitations, declamations, es-
saws and debates. The query for the
next meeting is, "Resolved, That a
man who can't read should not be per-
mitted to vote.
On Saturday evening, Oct 81, Misses
Harman and Nabors gave a Halloween
party at the home OF Mr.. .!ehu Smith.
The first part OF the evening was spent
in fortune telling by the witches: next
came games, after which refreshments
were served. After this Miss Hartman
entertained the party with both instru-
mental and vocal music which was
highly enjoyed by all present;
At IL O'Clock the party broke up and
we all went home feeling that we had
spent a very pleasant and enjoyable
evening and wishing that Halloween's
night would soon come again.
