FIRST USE OF TEA.
An ancient Legend Ascribcs 1t to q
King OF China.

An ancient Legend .iScrtbcs 1t to q
King OF China.
BY whom or when the use Of tea for
drinking purposes was first discovered
Is lost in antiquity. 1t is spoken OF as
a famous herb in Chinese literature as
far back as 1000 years B. Cs. at which
time It's cultivation and classification
were almost as thorough and complete
as they are today. One OF the aneieht
legends says that Ats virtues were &C.
cidentally learned by King ,Shen Nung
She, the Chinese monarch who. Is also
known as "the divine husbandman,"
who, the record says, nourished forty
centuries ago. He was engaged in boil
ing water over n fire made OF ehe
branches Of the tea plant and careless
ly allowed some of the leaves TO fan
into the pot.
The liquid which he expected to como
from the vessel simply as sterilized
water was miraculously converted into
an elixir OF life by the accidental ed
dition of the tea leaves. Soon after 3f
became highly esteemed In oil the OH
entail cities and was used as n royR1
GIFT from the Chinese monarchs to the
potentates OF southern and western
Asia.
This came King Shen Nung She noe
only earned the title OF respect BY
which he was known through the dis
covcry of the virtues Of tea, but be-
cause of being the first to teGch his
people how to make and use plows and
many other supplements of husbandrS.

Indian Pottery Sale

Some beautiful specimens of Indian
pottery, made by the Indians of the
Catawba Reservation in this State,
have been placed on sale at the Pal
metto Lrug Store.
This work is especially valuable, as
the tribe is rapidly dying out, only
three of the seventy-five now numbered
at the Reservation being full blooded
indians. The degenerates are disin.
clined to work, and their specimens
are very inferior.
The artistic value of the best work is
excellent, and is evidenced by the
prominent place given the pottery i'm
the homes throughout the State.

INSURANCE WRITER'S
FORM ASSOCIATION
DIR. Barksdale Elected President Of
Board; MIR. Todd, Secretary. New
Rates Soon Effective,

BY recent act of the legislature the
South Eastern Tariff Association was
allowed to operate in this State. Mr..
Jos, Raine, representing the Associa-
tion, was here last week making a new
rating Of the town and the surround
ing territory. AT the conclusion of his
work MIR. Raine called meeting OF all
the local agents of cd line companies
here in the parlors of the Ben Della
hotel on last Saturday morning, at
which meeting DIR. Johu A. Barksdale
was elected President and A. C. Todd
& Co, Secretary of the local board for
the term OF one year.
The new rating will go into effect as
soon as promulgated by the head office
OF the Association at Atlanta. 1t is un-
derstood that the rates on mercantile
risks will be practically the same, with
some changes. The new rating on
dwellings and country property will not
go into effect until the rate on property
in the town is promulgated by the AS
sociation.
Therece legislation of the Legisla-
ture In regard to fire insurance is con-
sidered by those interested in the sub
Ject throughout the State as one of the
wisest bills introduced at the past ses-
sion as it will no doubt generally cause
reduction in the rates throughout the
State, putting this State on an equal
basis with the adjoining states as re-
qured by the Act.
The new rates will be a matter of in
terest to property holders in the coun-
ty as wei as in the town.
The following agencies are repre-
sented in the local Board: John A
Barksdale, john A Barksdale g. Sons.
