Most persons probably think that
winged seed from trees travel to great
distances on the wind. But the studies
of Doctor Ridley, of the Botanic Gar.
dens at Singapore, indicate that winged
seeds have fur narrower range of
flight than do powder" seeds and
pumed seeds. The greatest distance
travelled by the winged fruit Of a for
est tree, observed by Doctor Ridley,
was 100 yards. Under the most favor
able circumstances, he calculates, 1t
would take this plant 100 years to
spread 800 yards, and 100000 years
to spread from the Malay Peninsula 10

Dear Sir: A big mill-owner, Spar
tansburg, S. c., wanted 5000 gallons
of paint, and bought by price; paid
five cents less than ours; got a lead
and zinc" paint; but the lead was sui.
phate of lead, not carbonate. Sulphate
costs about half; and covers about
half.
That paint was adulterated about
six times as much as the 5 cents paid
for. He ''saved" cents aud it cost
him 30
Oh no; labor costs him more than
that; we forgot the labor. Can't work
it out exactly; don't know how long 1t
will wear.
Short. measure besides; that alone
was twice as much as his Saving" .
cents.
1t was thin too; some loss there

There was too much dryer in it. The
maker made something on that; he
didn't.

MAGNOLIA FARMER ENDS
LIFE BY HANGING HIMSELF
ALLEN c. RICHARDS ON THE FARM OP MRS.
ALExINE THOMPSON ENDS HIS LIFE.
Goes to the Corn Crib and by Means of Care
fully Prepared Rope Commits the Awful
Deed That Shocks The NelghborhOOd.

Allen @. Richards, the prosperous
Magnolia farmer, who killed himself
last Wednesday morning, deliberately
chose death by strangulation, and
ended his life. Miss Alice Richards,
his daughter, who made the discovery
that her father had hanged himself in
his corn crib, after she had gone out
to search for and summon him to
breakfast, opened the door of the
building only to see her fathers dang
ling body. Mr.. Richards hanged him
self Wednesday morning about 3
O'Clock, after spending nearly an hour
in deliberate planning of the deed and
actual preparations. Fearful that he
might be detected in the act by some
one of the six members of his family,
he carried lantern, but worked out
all the details by the glimmer of beau
tiful moonbeams through the open
work of the Slated corn crib. Leav-
| ing his room at o'clock he went to the
implement garage where he secured a
new plow line known as lead line.
The general supposition is that he
must then have climbed to the rafter
and sat there, deliberately tying al
end of the line to the joist, after letting
it down to within seven or eight feet
of the floor for the purpose of taking a
correct measurment. Then he fas'
tened the lower end around his neck
and leaped into eternity. But the fal
did not break his neck, and there h'
hung, with the moose around his necl
drawn so taut as to paralyze any effor
he might have made to free himself
The only possible motive for the mans
self determination is attributed t.
nightly suffering from acute indiges
tion. He was 65 years old and tn
lessee of Mrs. Alexlne Thompson
fruit farm at Magnolia.

armed farmer living near Harrington,
for the recovery of her 5-year-old
daughter, whom the husband and
father secured from the school house,
where she was attending and has since
had in his charge, came to an end
Thursday, when the child by decree
of Judge James Pennewill, was re.
stored to her mother. Alleged cruelty
by the husband induced the wife to
leave him some weeks ago and she
took with her the three children,
Georgia being the youngest. The
mother and children went the home of
he= father near Harrington, where she
provided for them, sending all three
to the public schools nearby. One day
the father came to the schoolhouse and
asked for the youngest daughter,
Georgia. An elder sister endeavored
to prevent the father taking the child,
but he finally succeeded. Through hei
attorney, w. w. Harrington, Mrs. Ca
hall sought to gain possession of the
girl. Habeas corpus proceedings were
begun, and Thursday ended in the or

the custody of her mother When the
court ordered the child's transfer from
the father to the mother, the fathel
took the child and kissed her, botl
seeming much affected at the parting
