The news spread like wildtirc. Vii

along the coast mako out from half to

JAPANESE HOMES.
There Are No Doors or Passages In
Typical Dwelling.

bFeAlihS.
The Japanese house consists in the
main Of q post ut each corner and a
roof. The roof may or may not be COW
cred with heavy channclcd purplish
tiles. 1t makes little difference in the
long run whether it is or Is not, for If
it IS not tiled the first typhoon that
comes along removes 1t into some.
body's garden anything up to Il quarter
of mile away, and If it Is tiled heav-
hy enough to resist the typhOon so
p.7ch the worse for the people under
meath 1t when the first genuine earth
quake arrives. But the odds are that it
will be burned down before either hap
pens, as tic Japanese use very cheap
lamps and very fiery petroleum and
are regular children about fires. or
course something else is done to the
four posts and the roof before they be-
come a house in which births, mar
riagcs and deaths can take place. But
really remarkably little IS necessary.
Crossbcams are naturally added to
support the weight Of the roof, grooves
are made in the crosSbeams and in
the platform raised n foot or two above
the ground which constitutes the floor
a Japanese house is all on one floor
gcncrally-in fact one might say 1t is
all one floor. Between the grooves in
! the floor and the grooves in the cross
beams are run shutters with paper
panels to divide the houses into what
ever number Of rooms the owner may
choose. which depends on the number
of bedrooms he may require. There
are no doors or passages in q typical
Japanese house. In it every room acts
rs Il passage into the room beyond it.
and for tho door you slide back the
panel that happens to be nearest to
you. For this sliding there are little
bronco sunk handles in the wooden
frames Of the panels. The outside pa
per shutters do not come quite to the
! edge Of tn" platform floor; the grooves
along the edges are filed at night or in
severe weather with wooden shutters,
each of which is held in it's place by
tho ono that follows it, the last one
being secured With flimsy wooden
bolt.

dividuals enjoy better health in GER

To my mind. the reason in major

breathers and bear better the mild
than the severe climate.
Who are afflicted with chronic nos,
throat and chest affections? The mouth

family, have learned to take every i'll

mouth brcathers into two classes, con-
flrmcd and moderate. The first breathcs
almost continually with open mouth.
The second is not conscious that I've

was granted.

chosen language, pointed out where
in the committee had erred in
withholding the selection of a
supervisor from tie people, stat
ing that the action of the commit

self was without precedent and
contrary to the principles of the
Democratic party. In concluding
this strong plea for government by
the people instead of by COM
mittees, Capt. Blocker offered a
resolution to the effect that the
former action Of The committee,
providing Tor an election by the
committee. be rescinded and that
a primary election be ordered to
be held on Tuesday, 23rd instant.
This was carried and the primary
was ordered. An effort was then
made to refer the matter of choos-
ing a supervisor to the delegation,
but this motion was lost.
The members of the committee
then handed in the names of the
managers for their respective clubs,

Happenings Of interest from Our
Neighboring Town,

Seemingly apropos of nothing,
there came "a pang of sel6shness"
in my last contribution. 1t should
have followed The elegant tea serv-
ed by the New Century club" to
themselves-while the spext para
graph should have followed the al
lusion to the "Deestrick Skule."
This latter entertainment took
place Thursday evening and was
repeated Friday, being the most
laughs bic play of the season. Ed
itor Terrell was a success as the
old-time pedagog. Miss Mamie
Coleman, as "sister," and Mr.John
Wright, as "buddy," brought
down The shouse. The latter's
costume, knee pants, white stock
ings, q long checked homespun ap-
ron to keep his clothes clean, and
bran new pair of shoes, was uni
que in the extreme. The water
drinking boy, the crying girl, the
sorry girl, the giggling girl, in fact
all the parts were we'll enacted, and
laughter was the order of the ev-
ening.
Mrs. James A. Richardson, Mrs.
J. G.. Strother and Master Stanton
Lott, after a weeks stay in Allan
ia and Augusta, are welcomed
home.
Miss Mamie Leland, of Charles
ton, after a weeks visit to rela-
tives here will spend some time in
Ridge Spring before returning
home.
Quite number Of our town folks
attended the marriage of Miss
Lena Smith to Mr.. Wiley QUITS,
which took place at Harmony
church on Wednesday last.
The marriage of Miss Palm
Reames to Mr.. Charles Bailey took
place at the residence of Mr.. l.. B.
Asbill on Wednesday evening, the
bride and groom leaving lon the 2
o'clock morning train the next
day for an extended trip north.
Tho pretty cottage home WIS b ,ar7
tifulIy decorated, the supper ele-
CANT and the guests declare a pref
tier wedding, handsomer bride, a
happier groom, or more enjoyable
occasi IN would be hard to find.
Many good wish,s follow.
Miss Arnold will leave Satur-
day for Allendale. A dining in
her honor was given at the home
of Mr.. P. N. Lott, and a tea fol-
lowed at the home of Mr.. W, j..
Hatcher.
On Friday afternoon at the large
and beautiful home IF Mr.. c. F.
Strother the Daughters of the Con-
federacy gave most elegant re-
ceptlon in honor of Miss A. S. Ar
mold, former vice-president. and
the New Century club. iDellght1ul
refreshments were served, while
the decorations were cXquisitely
lovely. The colors of the organi-
zation prevailed, being white and
red. Every one had nice time,
aud the unanimous decision was
that it was a most delightful oc-
casion.

Numbar Of men employed in fishing,
1898; vessels and outfits, %; valued at
S22.447; boats, 90; valued at s29,901;
seines valueu at S9.O91; number Of

There are hundreds OF thousands
pounds OF fish caught and sold every

each season more people and boats are
employed.
