Auuusta Quarantines.

In order to make the quarantine
effective AMI guard the city thorough
ly, it has been found necessary to
place officers on the Augusta-Aiken
trolley cars, for inspection Of the
through, cars from Aiken and Lang
ley to Augusta.
The inspection Of the trolley cars
was fo nd necessary owing to the fact
tina. passengers without health certifl-
Gates, put Of trains across the river,
a. the Horse Creek valley towns, have
used the trolley cars to evade the reg
uiations, thus reaching the city WITH
cut trouble, though failing to pass
the inspecting officers.
The attention of the board OF health
was called to the fact that travelling
men caught without health certificates
had Dragged about evading the quar-
antine in this manner. 1t was seen
that the officers working the steam
roads to Columbia and Charleston
might as we'll be withdrawn, for the
good they could do, if the trolley
entrance into the city was not also
guarded. The board is determined TO
make the quarantine absolute, so far
as possible.

En~lfsh Teachers Stories.

The following answer to Il physiology
question was written By i boy who evil
IDENTIFY tried to make the most of it,
@. What are the lungs? Where are
they placed? What are they used for!
A. The lungs are too in number;
they are Origins of the body; they are
"bee hived'' in shape; they are situated
in the abdomen and are used for think
ing purposes.

United States Silver in Canada.

The Canadian banks are to be al
lowed commission of three-eighths
0er cent. for collecting American silver
and turning it over to the Government
for EXPORT. This is not sufficient to
:empr them into the business of im-
porting silver for Governmental eX-
po:t. but is sufficient to induce them
to impound and turn over all such
coins coming their way. The fear
which the Government has inspired
regarding worn Canadian silver and
the readiness of the banks to accept

Neoroes Are Beina FIeeced.

Negroes Are Being fleeeeo.
A negro calling himself John Harris,
ir is charged, has been at work IN
the neighborhood of Gaffney impec-
sonating a United States government
officer from the pension department.
and a, personal representative ol Pres
;dent Roosevelt. His alleged plan was
about as follows: With a negro ia
miliar with the territory as his guide,
Harris went to all negroes over fifty
years of age, and represented to them
that they were entitled to a pension.
By paying him 81 should they desire
to apply for a pension of $500, or .
cents for s75, this to defray his eS
penses, he agreed to have this amount
turned over to them within ten days
and twelve dollars month thereafter.
In this way he collected from is'
1orant negroes quite a. sum OF money
which, it is claimed, he appropriated
to his own use. His territory extend
ed a good distance, but the base OF
his operations was Blacksburg, about
ten miles from Carney. 1t appears
that place was his headquarters. His
alleged accomplice was arrested At
Blacksburg by Deputy United States
Marshall Hallman and placed in Jail.
Harris, however, it is claimed, is the
;nstigator of the scheme and the prime
mover in it; he is, therefore, the
one the United States authorities at
Gaffney are anxious to secure.
