u is not 80 very long ago when a
dagaerreotype was the only photo
graph Yet to-day, when ip the
fraction of second is made the
negative from which hundreds of
pictures may be printed, we seen
very far removed from the days when
a separate sitting was required for
each picture.
Abraham Bogardus, one Of the
first Americans to use Daguerre's
process, once favored us with some
"Reminiscences that throw an interest
ing light on those cold times.n
"In the early days of the daguerreo-
type the frock coat was seldom seen.
A man was we'll dressed when he
wore blue cloth coat with black
velvet collar and plain brass buttons,
his waistcoat being either white OF
light yellow and double breasted.
The only time / ever saw Daniel
Webster,he wore such coat and a
yellow waistcoat.
~ often made pictures of old men
in full ruffled shirt bosom and wrist
bands as well and with hair in cue.
Some men still wore straps at the
bottom of their pantaloons. Most of
them, instead of twisting their mus
taches, employed their hands to roll
their hair over their ears.
"Indeed, mustache was seldom
seen, and it required considerable
courage to appear with one. Ioung
women would laugh, and street
urchins were ready to ridicule the
wearer.
SIT was common for women to
have their hair shaved at the parting
to make the forehead high. The
higher and broader the expanse the
better the women was pleased and
the greater was the number of her
admirers, the high broad forehead
being supposed to betoken intellect.
1.-THE pictures we made at that
period were pretty severe. Every
line and wrinkle would show. We
had not learned the art of retouching,
and the likeness was sure to be
there-horribly correct it sometimes
seemed.
GAS for the retouching process, it
is right to soften strong lines and re-
move frowns, but it is not right to
remove line when by so doing one
destroys the contour of the face. l
have had persons seventy years old
ask if / could take their picture so
the wrinkles would not show. My
answer invariably was, "yes, but
where will the likeness be P" A
photograph that is not a likeness
seems to me not only misleading
but a senseless thipg."-Youth's
Companion.

Sinking Fund Business.

Columbia, August 3.-The State Sink
ing Fund Commission does a large busi-
ness of which few people in this State
know anything. In 1892 this commission
was established for the purpose of re-
tiring the outstanding bonds of tho
State. The revenue of this commission
comes from two sources, first the ordi-
nary fund, such as escheated estates,
back taxes and all petty revenues of the
State. From this source there has been
collected since 1892 $57,607 81. The Gu
mniatiVe fund created for the reduction
and payment of South Carolina Brown

credit in the State treasury $459, 1884. SO,
which comes from the royalty on phos-
phate rock, amounting to about $25, 900 a
year. David III. Means, secretary of the
commission, hopes to have the entire
fund OF over $50O,OO0 out in loans shortly.

Wallpapers Kill Negro Preacher.

Lewisburg, Tenn, August S. One
negro was killed and another fatally
wounded by band of whitecappers
last night. There were between
fifteen and thirty in the mob, which
made its appearance at the home of
a negro preacher named John Mil
liken. Milliken made his exit
through back door. He was
brought down by a volley, dying
almost instantly. John Hunter, a
son-in-law of Milliken, was made to
accompany the hob or a fruitless
search for another negro and in an
attempt to escape was fatally shot in
the back. The wife of Milliken was
struck over the head with a gun and
painfully injured. No cause is as
signed for the killing.

"The morality of the young men
OF this country is just as high as the
young women Demand" was uttered
recently from a city pulpit. Every
reader of these lines can testify to
the truth of this statement. II
the young men of given
community are openly Incorporate
and lead dissolute lives it is because
the young women of that community
sanction, in sense, such conduct by
tolerating it. Would that the young
women would demand of young men
that purity of life that is required of
; them. Until this is done there will
always exist two standards of morals.
Nothing would so restrain a young
man as to know that should he
engage in certain vices or
questionable pastimes his young lady
friends, whose esteem he courted,
would withdraw social fellowship
from him. The morals of the young
men of any community, even OF
Edgefeld, are largely what the young
women make them.---Edgefeld Ad-
vertiser.

A Deep Thinking Old Lady.

Eff some gals could put the same
bublin' enthusiasm into rubbin
clothes over washboard that the,
kin into dancin' all night they'd be
a sight less tired mothers round the
end o wash day.
AN eff some boys could feel it
was in 'em to strain as hard to make
the old farm pay as they strain fo,
six dollars a week an little hal
bedroom in one O. the big cities, the
lawyers d have sight less work
foreclosin' mortgages.
Ef some O the people that pray
the hardest and sing the loudest in
church do seem little bit worldly in
their dealin's durin' the week, mos,
likely it's because they use up thei,
whole seven days supply o Chris,
tianity on Sunday.
Seems to me, bringin' up children
is good deal like firm one o. the
old-fashioned shot-guns eff you don't
keep good, firm grip on 'em, they're
dreadful likely to kick back in a sur
prism and painful manner.
Eff the average man spent as little
time thinkin' about layiu' up riches
on earth as he does about layin' up
riches in heaven, there would be no
end O spendin money flying about
among the women folks.
Mebbe eff some women tried as
hard to make their talk to their hus.
bands as soft and sweet as they do
their preserves, there'd be few lars
and don't mean preserve Jars
neither.
Eff everybody that tells all about
the fine things they did last year, and
intend to do next year was doin
the same sort O things this year,
they'd never have a minute to spend
talkin' and tellin' us about 'em.
