reason OF its well preserved headstOnes These
headstones were cut from a native stone which
has endured the elements we'll for more than a
hundred years that the inscriptions are now almost
as easily read as they were when the stones were
set IN position.
striking popularity IS found in the carvings
on the headstones. apparently all the work OF one
sculptor. who had speciality in the creation OF
crosseyed angels. Almost every OF the old
headstones is ornamented ar the top with the head
OF an angel. and each angel face is Enthusiastically
and painfully crosseyed. This characteristic has
led some guests near the burying ground to call il
the cemetery OF crosseyed angels
Among the soldiers in the War for American In

TWO WEEKS IN TIE COUNTRY.

Dear Little Men and Little Women:
About two weeks of my vacation this summer
were pleasantly spent at Indian Fields, little
village some miles distant from Albany. The
place as It's name indicates, was once inhabited
bv an Indian tribe. the chief settlement Of which
was located on the land which is included
In my grandmother's farm. Many Indian relics
have been found by the men at their work. such
as arrow heads Of flint bits of wampum and
pieces OF Indian pipes.

Escaped Murderer Located.

Reports have been received in Colum'
bia that Murphy, the escaped murderer
of Treasurer Copes, of Orangeburg, has
been located in the PHILIPPINES as a mem
Der of the army.
This recalls to life the terrible tragedy
which occurred on the road between
Bamberg and Orangeburg in 1896. Muir
phy was convicted and sentenced to hang,
but communication of the sentence was
secured on circumstantial evidence which
it is claimed was not of the honor bright
sort. he, with colleague, succeeded in
making their escape after having served
about four years in the penitentiary.
Whether there will be any attempt to
recatch the convict is not known, but he
has gone long way from justice to seek
self preservation and doubtless he will
remain there unmolested.

Pair Of Biz Shoes.

What is supposed to be the largest pair
of shoes ever made in this country was
turned out recently in Nashua shoe fac
tory. The size of these shoes may well
be imagined when it is knownsthat the
weight is eighteen pounds for the pair.
Each shoe is twenty-three inches long
and seven and one-half inches wide in
the widest place.
Every detail is as carefully attended to
as in an ordinary first-class shoe, but be-
cause of the enormous size it required
several weeks to turn them out. Special
lasts were made, and nearly all of the
work, except the stitching, which was
done on the usual machinery, was done by
hand.
As near as can be figured the size of
the shoes is 40, as compared with the av-
erage ordinary mans shoe. The entire
cost of manufacturing them was about$50.
They we're made for negress who lives
near atlanta, who is known for many
miles because of the size of her feet

The old Simms place, known as 'The
Woodlands" was the picnic ground for a
crowd of young folks on the Fourth of
July. They left for the mornings en-
campment at sunrise and enjoyed the
cool of the day beneath the giant oaks
which abound at this historic old place.
One of the chief pleasures of the day was
the discovery of what is to all appear
ances the remaining branches of the
famous grape vine swing which Mr..
Simms has celebrated in a song. The
party consisted of Misses Leona Owens,
of Allendale, Hibernia Counts, GeDelle
