Editor Laurens Advertiser:
On the night of the I'd inst, at about
3 o'clock in the morning, when Mr..
p. II. Martins cotton seed house was
burned, charred shingles fell upon our
dwelling and ignited the roof. The
train crew of through freight No. ID
came and walked up the family, and
told us our house was on fire, and if we
would show them how to get upon the
roof they would save the house. Train
hands and drummers were soon upon
the top of the house and eXtinguished
the fire. Words cannot express our ap-
probation and thanks to this noble set
of men who saved our house, and prob
ably our lives, as Mr.. Madden was sick
and had not been out of his room in
two weeks.
Whenever we can serve them in any
way how delighted we will be to render
them assistance. May Heaven bless
them and theirs is our sincere desire
and prayer.
JAS. A. MADDEN AND FAMILY.

Skill OF old.Time Surgeon.

or the ski in surger. OF DR.. Val
entine Mott, it is recorded that in 1928
he performed what is universally al
lowed to be the most difficult feat ever
attempted in surgery. A clergyman
was afflicted with an enormous tumor
in the neck, in which were imbedded
and twisted many Of the great arter.
les. In removing the tumor it was
necessary to take out entire one of the
collar bones, to lay bare the mem
brane ~incloslng the lungs, to dissect
around arteries displaced by the tu-
NOR and imbedded in it, to apply As
ligatures and remove an immense
mass of diseased matter. All this was
done without the aid OF chloroform.
The patient survived the operation
and many years afterward continued
to discharge the duties of his profess
sion.

ALL "GENTLEMEN" IN AMERICA.
Man's Own Fault If He Does Not De-

Neither a poor man nor a rich mar
is or can be "a gentleman" in Amerl-
ca, in the sense of the terms as use 1
in a monarchical country or under an
aristocratic system of society, says th9
New York Sun. The word gentle
man" is unknown in our law. In the
n of expressing moral qualities,
the only sense in which it can be used
here, the term gentleman" applies,
of course, to every man entitled intrin-
sically to receive it as a designation
of courtesy; but even in that usage II
is a term SO vague and indefinable
that it is not worth talking about. 1t
may be said. however. never to apply
properly to any American who boasts
of being a gentleman because of any
accident of his mere material circum
stances, or to any American who Is
troubled in r,ind lest, on account Of
them, he should not receive the title
II anybody in America is not a gentle
man it is mis- own fault.

VAULT BUILT BY ROMANS.
English ArchaeoIogists Delighted Over
Rare Find.

An old Roman vault has been I'M
covered at Chiswick, in England, by
workmen who were preparing for the
foundations of a modern fiat building.
Now the vault, with its red tiled floor
and other marks OF Roman days, lies
open to the twentieth century skies.
The vault measures about fourteen or
fifteen feet each way and appears to
have been part of the villa of some old
Roman centurion. 1t Is directly be-
meath the cellars Of old Sutton court,
q great place in the time of Cromwell.
Many pieces OF valuable pottery Of
centuries ago have been found, as we'll
as what is believed to have been part
OF a subterranean passage between
Sutton court and the %neighboring
Chiswick house. 1t is imagined that
the vault and passage figured in the
plots and counterplots of the stormy
times Of Cromwell when his third
daughter, the vigorous and strong
minded Maria, lived at Sutton court.

THE RULING PASSION STRONG.
src.-t on His Supposed Deathbed
Wanted tc Eet With F&rson.


That story about Ed Butcher, the
noted old Iowa ralahorse man, re-
minds me OF a tale the boys used to
tell. of Butcher" said Morris Lynch
recently to the Des Moines Register
and Leader. Butcher was a good fell
low, as the men who follow the races
so. His family was religious. One
time Butcher got sick, very sick, in
fact. His wife, fearing the end, sent
fcG a minister. Butcher talked to the
minister, who urged him that he
should not stay away from his God.
The road to salvation was not very
plain to Butcher. He questioned the
minister closely about what he
thought would happen if he should re-
form just prior to his death. The min
lister told him he would be saved.
Twill | have wings just like the
picture angels?' asked Butcher.
You most certainly WILL replied
the minister.
We'll, then, / just bet you IS ]
can beat you flying when you meet
NE in heaven retorted Butcher, his
eye lighting up with the accustomed
flash.
The minister left in despair and
Butcher recovered and followed the
races for many years afterward.'

Persian a Difficult LANGUAGE.

Of the difficulties of the language
words one Uses in a letter are almost
entirely different from those used con-
versationally, and those il an ordinary
prose history are again different. Then
it is almost impossible to distinguish
the lenses; and lastly the adjective
is generally indistingulshable from the
substantive, ard the link between an
adjective and the term which it quail,
fes is the same as the sign of the
possessive. For instance, the text,
This is My beloved Son, may be read
in the Persian Bible. This is the Son
