DEATH OF EMIL ANDERSON.
 On Wednesday morning of last week occurred the death of Emil Anderson, at his home. The circumstances are unusually distressing because a wife and six small children are left without the support of the chief bread winner, and must face alone this winter and long years of struggle and hardship. Those who gather about'them their un. broken circles, and rejoice at this Thanksgiving season in their comfort and prosperity, lifting their hearts tc God in gratitude for His mercies, will be moved to open their stores and theil purses, and give generous expressions of their sympathy to the mourners Clothing, food supplies, fuel and money will all be acceptable. Those who prefer to do so may leave these gifts with F. s. Curtis, who will see that they all reach the needy family.

Death OF Mrs. M. r. vanDiviere.

The news of the death of Mrs. M. r.
VauDiviere was received with deep sor-
row in Walhalia by the hosts Of friends
of the family of the deceased. Mrs. Van
Diviere was one among the oldest citi-
zens of Walhalla, and her long life in our
midst was one from which radiated the
fullness of Christian influence at all
times.
Mrs. Margaret Rose VsnDiviere was a
daughter of the late James Lawrence,
and was born on Keowee river, in
Pickens District. She departed this life
peacefully at her home, in Walhalla, on
Monday last, in the 77th year of her age.
The early life of Miss Lawrence was most
happy. She bad charming personality
and her years of youth were strewn with
pleasure. In 1865 she was happily mar
ried to Col. 81. S. vanDiviere, of Geor-
gis. They removed to Walhalla, where
her life was, in the course of events,
spent in the varied duties of the home.
She was faithful wife, a loving mother,
dutiful friend, and devoted Christian.
Consumption, with its insidious ravages,
brought her long and useful life to its
close, all her living children having
reached their maturity. Her long suf-
fering, not always great, brought her
end quietly and peacefully.
Rev. l.. w. Brown, of the Presbyte-
rian church, officiated in the last earthly
services to this beloved Christian wo-:
man yesterday morning at 10 O'Clock,
surrounded by her kindred and many
friends. Her body was laid to rest in
the. cemetery of the Walhalla Baptist
church, of which she was a devout and
consistent member. Her last resting
place was covered, by loving hands, with
the richness of many beautiful flowers.
Three children survive-Lawrenoe r.
VanDiviere, of Savannah; Mrs. r. B.
Norris, of Greenwood, and Miss Georgia
VauDiviere, of Walhalla, to whom is ex-
tended the sympathy Of hosts of friends
here and throughout the State.

THE APACHES
 ARE WORKERS
Many of Them Go from San Carlos Reservation to Work at the Railroad
 Camps and in tho Mines of Kelvin
 and Other Districts-A Social Affair.

A Kelvin correspondent says that many of the Indians who have been employed in rebuilding the narrow gauge railroad between Kelvin and Ray have gone home. The majority of them were from the San Carlos reserva- tion and held leaves of absence that are now expiring. The exodus was made the occasion of "social event. " Around cracking camp fire, tomtom beating, gathered old men, young bucks, old squaws, maidens and children of all ages, even papooses strapped securely in "Indian baby baskets. The wo- men. attired in the bluest of blue and the reddest of red, and decorated with long strings of beads and flowing vel low headdresses, made pretty pictures as in couples, keeping time to the mu- sic, they stepped to the knots of men and, tapping one on the back, invited him to complete the trio.
 Tine going of these men will not hin der the progress of the railroad, as the necessity of big force has passed. The railroad is nearly completed.
 The work of the Indians has been very satisfactory. They are not given to taking the initiative, but once the work is understood they keep at the al lotted task regardless of q boss.
 These men were paid for their"work by checks and for many the cashing of the checks was something new.
 The younger ones with school names, were carried on the eompany's books by name, and checks were issued to them in their names, but the Indian names of the older ones were too much for any timekeeper, and so many had checks payable to $. No. :, T. C. and so on. The ones that have had school education indorsed their cheeks without trouble, often with n dash, but the older ones took the pen gingerly, dip ped it carefully into the ink, always turned the point upside down, looked solemn, spread the cheek out smooth, then slowly and with decision made a cross, heaved sigh and looked happy. Got their gold and then departed-not bit of it, they waited to see the next man make his cross, and while he pre- pared, the ones who had gone through the ordeal felt free to make remarks. One quiet, wrinkle faced, but pleasant old man, was down as S. C.. 8, but his acquired name was so distinctive that his check bore it in parenthesis, and so even "Uncle Sam" made his mark.
 A report from Phoenix was to the effect that some of the Indians expelled from Mcdowell on the Salt river reser- vation, were headed towards Kelvin. If

PHOENIX NO LONGER DREADs
 A RISE IN THE CHA RIVER

The Gila bridge will be completed by the end of the present week and by the end of the month the old structure will have been abandoned and the M. X F. trains will be running regularly over the new bridge, says a Phoenix paper.
 This means that Phoenix will be no more cut off from the world by the raging waters. The waters may rage all they please, but the new bridge will be standing as firmly when they subside as it ever did.
 The summer rains seem to have be- gun and we may expect big floods in the Gila most any day. But no fear of delay of mail or passengers on that score is felt now The old bridge will not likely be washed out this week and next week the new one will be in com mission.
 For several days only oil trains and light freights will be run over the new bridge, but by the first of August the approaches are sure to be in condition for heavy traffic.

THE LATEST IN ENTERTAINMENT

Pittsburg, which not long ago was the scene of good men g dinner-the attendance to which was restricted, by the way, for reasons it is unnecessary to discuss-has become the pioneer in another unique entertainment. It was whooping cough lawn party-think of that!-and there were prizes for the whoopers who whooped loudest and the whoopcrs who whooped longest; also a booby prize, the latter going to the ,whooper who whooped the least. No one was invited except young people who had whooping- cough, and their at tendants.
 Whooping- cough has been exceedingly prevalent in Pittsburg this summer, and there was no difficulty in making list of eligibles to whom to send invitations, The attendance was immense, the whOoping vOciferous and reiterated. It is expected that there will be other par ties of the sort.
 Well, why not whooping cough partyf The physicians have recon. mended outdoor air and plenty of it as the best thing for patients suffering from whooping cough. No sanitary ob- jeetion can be advanced against whoop- ing cough parties if efficient precaution is taken to prevent the spread of the disease.

SWEDEN SOLICITOUS

In the upper Mississippi valley, espe- cially in Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Dakotas, there is new Scandinavia, where Danes, Swedes and Norwegians are large and influential part of the population. Clannish at first and much attached to their language, their reli- gion and their own peculiar ways, in the second and third generation they forget much that once was most eharae- teristie about them and become Amer jeans of singularly self-reliant and thrifty sort.
 If King Oscar of Sweden, by the thoroughgoing investigation which he has ordered made of conditions which attract Swedes to this country and detain them ofter they arrive, expects to induce many who have come to re- turn home, he is likely to be disappoint ed. Freedom under people s govern ment is a lodestone of enduring power. But if the solicitous King Oscar wishes to get information which, if rightly used, may affect home conditions so that fewer will care to emigrate, then he may be rewarded for his pains.
 The investigation he has ordered from some standpoints seems futile-a sort of locking the stable door after the horse is stolen; but from another stand point it is quite natural. Only it should have begun long ago.
