The Way the stun IN Mined and Pre-

The largest South American asphalt
lake, in Venezuela, consists of dark
brownish deposit of semifluid and semi
solid substance surrounded by banks
from three to six feet high. In the cen
ter of this lake is continual election
of hot fluid asphalt, accompanied by
large bubbles of gas.
The dark skinned workmen excavate
it In pieces weighing in the neighbor-
hood of twenty-five pounds, sections
forty feet In area and about four feet
deep being worked at one time. As
quickly as freed from its surroundings
1t is placed in large tubs, resting upon
small flat topped tram cars operated
upon narrow gauge road. The entire
surface Is constantly moving, thus ne
cessitatlng continual relaying of the
tracks.
The freshly excavated asphalt is con-
veyed TO the shore, where the tubs are
lifted by hydraulic power to an aerial
tramway, by which it Is conveyed 10

nero river about five miles distant
from the lake Here it Is weighed and

Upon its arrival at factory it Is
heated until the water is expelled and

Success In New York.
Several years ago a one legged youth
named Kempton, who had left a com
Portable home to engage deliberately in
begging, conceived the idea of organic
ing ii community of interest among
panhandlers in the Park row district, in
New York. He picked out strategic
spots throughout the city and selected
Il man to beg in each. These men were
always particularly well adapted to
their posts-a blink Cblind man here, a
crust thrower there, a manned youth
somewhere else. In order that the beg
CARS might not be molested by the pO
lice lookout was appointed for each,
and In order that the syndicates inter
ests might be conserved kemptOn en-
ployed roundsmen to observe how
faithfully the beggars attended to bust
ness and to collect hourly the earnings
of each. In case of arrest each mem
Der OF the band was assured Of legal
representation, to be paid for out of
the earnings of the pool
The scheme thriyed for many months,
and at one time there were thirty men
In the combination which became
close corporation of profit and power.
There is no knowing to what extent
it might have expanded nor how influ
entail 1t might have become at last had
not the nature of the organization
given ii undue prominence and caused
1t to fall directly under the ban of the
mendicant squad. One by one the mem

COBB NOTES.

Cobbs', April 8, 1905. 1t has
been raining all day. The far
mer's on McCalPs Greek are look
ing for an overflow. One thing
in their favor is the land is not
broken.
Mrs. Irwin Smith fell from the
door step this morning, almost
breaking her left arm just above
the wrist. She received some
other bruises, altogether causing
her to keep her bed.
Mrs. Sam eagle has been on
the sick list, but is able to wait on
customers again.
We regret very much to mark
Miss Jennie eagle absent on ac-
count of sickness.
Mr.. Irwin Smith purchased a
real up-to-date horse, while in
town attending the Cotton Grow
ers' meeting last Saturday. If
you do not believe "Bill'' will sell
horses, try him. He will either
sell you high horse, or sell you
a horse high.
The hello" business is not
much out here; but the 'ge-haw-
Jack" " is getting to be all the 60.
Mr.. I. P. Mullen, from Homo
chitto, paid the school at this
place a visit last Friday. From
here he went to Fair River to vis-
it home folks.

Grafton Drug Store Opening.

We believe for the first time in
its history this "old reliable" has
held an opening day. 1t may be
taken as a harbinger of continued
prosperity and greater popularity.
The apartments of this store,
since the instalIment of Mr.. F.
Aylward, as business manager,
have been elegantly re-ftted
throughout so that the entrance
room, prescription room, private
Office and store room are all in ex-
ceIlent order and each one admira-
bly, adapted to its position in the
machinery of the business.
The front room is now used as
an ice-cream parlor and nothing
could be more inviting than its
appointments and ornamentation
from floor to ceiling. The dis
penser of cold drinks, creams,
ETC., has had the experience of
many years in the business, and
like good wine, has matured into
something better with the lapse of
time.
A delightful treat, through the
courtesy of the manager, was
greatly enjoyed by the editor and
associate on Thursday evening;
and we are, therefore, a compe
tent witness as to the excellence
of the summer beverages to be
served at Grafton's.
This store is ready for business
on all lines mentioned; and, even
this early in the season, has its
hands full in the refreshment de-
partment, as we'll as in the usual
legitimate functions of drug
store.

Millinery OPENING.

The Millinery Opening 1t The
McGrath store on Wednesday was
again seasonable pleasure and
social diversion at the great store
known now. after years Of gener-
Gus enterprise and successful bus
mess effort, throughout the bor-
ders of our State and beyond.
That iewell'd mass Of milIi-
nery," as Tennyson puts it, was a
lode stone that drew Fastening
footsteps all to one shrine. Mrs.
Hoover, the lovely and business
like young director, won all visit
ors and sold hats which only need
ed exhibition, to exchange own
ers. This being a lace season, the
spacious store was draped in the
filmy stuff which had such "a cool
ing effect" that wraps and coats
were noted among the spring time
offerings Of the Goddess of Fash
ion.
Dry goods, beautifully display
ed, we're the pride Of Mr.. B. w.
Mccormick, head clerk in this de-
partment. Messrs. M. I. Flood
and Heard Wimberly had direct
ed the decorations and deserve
special mention for the success of
their efforts in this line. The
Mississippi State Band furnished
music all day long, which added
much to the pleasant hours. The
gala day was brought to a close
by a dance at Hotel Inez in the
evening.

FIRST WOMAN TYPIST
At WORK THIRTY YEARS
Anniversary Remembered With the
Present of a Gold Watch From the
Remington Company.

"A bright, educated woman wanted;
to take a remunerative and pleasant po-
s1t1on. Musician preferred
The woman who answered this adver-
tisement thirty years ago had no idea
that by so doing she was to become the
pioneer OF an industry that was. within
her own lifetime. to employ hundreds of
thousands of young women. She had
not even an idea of the nature Of the
work which the ''remunerative and
pleasant position" would require Of her,
for the typewriter was then unknown.
The veteran among typiSts is MIS-.
M. A. Saunders, who is still employed in
surance companies. Left by the death of
her husband without means of support
for herself and little daughter. she tried
teaching music for a living, but was
urged by friends to answer the adver-
tlsement, as printed above.
She wrote to the address given, and re-
Ceived next day call from a repreSen-
tative of the Remington typewriter,
who left with her printed Information
about the machine and a request to call
at the office. Supposing that the illus
tration represented a new kind OF sew
ing machine. she went to the address
without much hope of finding congeniai
work.
She was introduced to .he typewrit-
Ing machine and urged to try it.
'-Strike the little keys just like
piano keys" was the only instruction she
received.
She found the experiment so fascinat-
Ing that she kept on at it until an en-
ploye warned her that the Office was
about to close.
Her interest in the machine doubtless
convinced those in charge that Mrs.
Saunders would make q good operator,
as after q few days of practice work she
was given q position with the company.
Ever since she has continued to earn her
living through typewrlting-
f,-fsn AT iy-pr T.
Saunders work was celebrated by the
gift of a beautiful gold watch from the
Remington Company, bearing the fol-
lowing inscription:
..1S75-19o5 To the pioneer typewriter
operator. From the pioneer manufac-
turer''
