James NJ. Walcott, half breed
Indian residing at Maumee, a sur.
burb Of Toledo, Ohio, has an almost
indisputable claim on the $40 acres
of ground upon which the city ot
Fort Wayne stands, according to Con.
gresham I. r. Sherwood, OF that
district.
Congressman Sherwood states that
Walcott has letter which he re-
ceived from the land. Office on Nov.
ember II, 1905. in which the gov
ernment authorities say the land on
which Fort Wayne stands was deed
ed to Walcott's mother by treaty, and
has never been legally transferred
1t is said that when Walcott goes
into court with custer proceedings
against those who occupy the land
the citizens of Fort Wayne have
something to worry about. It may
mean millions to Walcott, for there
is a United States law which pro-
vides that time does not run against
treaty rights, says General Sher-
wood
Walcot's father was Captain Wells,
a kentuckian, who was adopted by
Chief Little Turtle when Wells was
only ten years DID, Later he married
the chiefs daughter.
General Sherwood will make his
first official visit to Washington next
Thursday, when he will take up the

ORANGEBURG EIGHTH.
List of Largest Cotton Growing
Counties in the World.

Mr.. James Heury Rice, ;Jr., writ
ing to The State from Darlington
says the courtesy of Mr.. Fulenwider
enables me to give the exact figures
as to cotton production of the larg-
est cotton producing counties in the
South and, therefore, in the world
for FIVE years ending with the year
1905, figures for 1906 not being
available.
Mr.. Rice says the figures are
taken from the government reports,
and only counties making an aggre-
gate yield Of over three hundred
thousand bales are counted. The
eight counties that lead the pro-
cession are as follows:
l. Ellis County, Texas, 480,704
bales.
?. Boliver County, Miss, 3eo,544
bales.
8. Washington County. Miss,
359,149 balts.
4. Hill County, Texas, 35s,737
bales.
5. McLennan County, Texas, 349,-
$50 bales.
6. Williamson County, Texas,
34S,47S bales.
I. Fannin County, Texas, $685.
94S bales.
s. Orangeburg County, S. c., $685.
lis bales.
In 1905 Williamson County,
Texas, was first, with 90.934 bales,
and Orangeburg, S. c. was second
with 1896 bales.
Orangeburg is a grand I'D county
with large number of Intelligent,
well-to-do farmers, and she will al
ways be found in the front rank.
According 10 the census Of 1900
Orangeburg County had more farms
than any county in the United States
except one, and that one was up in
Pennsylvania. Possibly when the
next census is taken she will have
more farms than any other county
in the United States.

idea of what riding camel in an

stool. screw it up as high as possible.
and put it. along with savage dog.
into wagon without any springs.
Then seat yourself on the stool and
have it driven over uneven and rocky
ground during The hottest parts Of

GREECE ROBBERS RoosT.
Country Promises to Become Haven
For Rodues.

The waiting game still is popu-
lar policy with the French police, says
the New York Press. Some months
ago Paris detectives chased young
French embezzler into Greece and
found him protected from extradition
by the authorities. whom he paid
well; so they quietly sat down and
waited for the criminal to spend all
his stolen money. Then. when he
had to move akay and crossed into
Italy. the detectives arrested him and
brought him back to Paris.
Ferdinand Bolle. "a years old, was
clerk in the Societe Generate Bank.
He was married and had separate
establishment over which young
friend presided. He received notices
OF discharge just at the time when
every one was talking of Jean Galaxy,
the bank clerk baron" and Mile.
Merelli. Bolle said TO himself, Why
should l not initiate this Galaxy" So
he began to fill in checks and forge
signatures. In few days he cashed
in $4,000. Then he left Paris with
his pretty friend. The pair fed to
Corfu and took a charming and lux
urious villa. They began to have a
gay time.
Bolle foolishly wrote to friends in
Paris detailing the lively life he was
leading. The police were waiting for
Just such letters, and two detectives
armed with the necessary papers i'm.
mediately went to Corfu. When they
called on Bolle he introduced them tc
his fair companion and feted them
But he refused to return to France
The detectives, when they tried to ex
tradite him, found that the authori
ties were protecting Bolle. They ap
pealed to the Greek minister OF th'
interior and to the chief OF poiic'
of Corfu. but received only promises
Then the French ambassador took
hand. That resulted ir Bolle and hi
companion being expelled from tia
particular village, the authorities O
which were dismissed But the fngl
tives merely moved on to the mex
village and took another villa. Th
French detectives thereupon tele
graphed that until Bolle had spent al
his money an arrest was impossible
They were ordered to wait like Pa
tience on monument until the ban!
clerk had run through his last dollar
Bolle was spending money like bill
lionaire, and for FIVE weeks the tw'
detectives went fishing, smoked ant
slept and enjoyed themselves.
When Bolle finally got to the eAt
Of his stolen spoils he and his com
panion took a little coast steamer t

Sandwich Men.

Advertising is preeminently a mod
ern business, yet one phase OF it. like
much. of onr commercial system,
found its origin in Italy of the Middle
Ages.
The sandwich man made his first
appearance in 1346 on the streets Of
Florence. The wine merchants there
were in the habit of hiring indi-
gent individuals to parade the streets
dressed to represent straw-covered
wine-bottles. Now, the custom has
spread to all the great cities Of the
globe.
But nowhere. perhaps. is the sand,
wich man subject to more stringent
regulation than in London. He must
walk near the curbstone. but not on
the pavement. and not within thirty
yards of his nearest placarded COM
rade. In case the sandwich man does
not fulfil these rules he may be ar
rested and fined.

OURBOYSAND GIRLS
Our Short Lived Pets.

Considering the vast amount Of
Measure that we derive from the
animals and birds brought into our
homes, the question Of the length Of
time they are likely to live is one Of
much Importance The great enemy
to the attainment of old age, par
ticularly in the case Of the pet held
in the greatest esteem-the dog-is
overfeeding. This practice Of killing
by kindness undoubtedly takes sew
eral years off the lives Of many OF
our canine friends, and subjects
them, beside, to good deal OF dis
comfort and misery.
Unfortunately, the dog, even when
not overfed and properly treated, IS
short lived compared with man
From twelve to fifteen years is as
long as we can expect him to live,
though there are instances recorded
! of dogs that have attained upward
of twenty years Another most Ia
riliar pet, the cat, has about the
same average existence as the Dog,
| bat as it is less gluttonous animal
F.! it suffers less frequently from over
+! eating. One cat belonging to WON.
an at Forest Hill, Kent, attained its
/ majority, dying when 1t was nearly
twenty-five years old.
Domestic rabbits are not long
lived, perhaps because they seldom
i5.:ve any exercise, and pass their
lives in closely cramped hutches.
From seven to ten years is about the
usual duration. In the poet Cowper's
account OF his three tame hares, one
died young after it was full grown;
another lived to be 8, and the third
died apparently Of old age when II
vas II years and II months SPUR
rels are seldom known to live in con-
anement more than FIVE years.
Guinea pigs have lived ten years, but
fancy mice usually die IN three or
four years. Silkwornls have the
shortest existence Of all the pets,
.omewhere about couple Of months
being the length Of time from the
:-g to the grave.
The parrot and the raven, among
I'd pets, are both likely to live as
ag as their owners. The age Of 80
known to have been reached by q;
ay parrot, and there are many!
elements of birds Of that family
! wing lived for over g century. TIE
ven, too, is credited with having

"Imperious Caesar. oea1 and turned

dicnifed service than the mummies,
whom the skill and care of the wise
Egyptians preserved so 9,arvelously

When person died in the East
century or two B. C. he was preserved
in the finest bitumen. The remains
of a body treated thus in those times,
On being unwrapped today. present an
appearance similar to light-colored
leather. The bitumen and the leather

Corticite.

An invention which should prove Of
great value to the electrical and tech
nical world generally has been per-
fected by Portuguese cork firm.
1t is general non-conductor. and
has for its principal component granu-
lated cork. and is called "corticite." :"
Its application would appear to be
practically unlimited. as it forms a
perfect insulator. will resist the ut
most extremes of climate. and the
attack Of insects. even white ants, are
powerless against it.
It is not inflammable. and might be
used for partitions in buildings and to
replace woodwork in battleships. as it
can be sawed or bored like wood It
is said that if boiler tubes and boilers
are covered with sheets OF corticite,
there is not only great saving OF
heat, but the temperature Of the
boiler room is reduced to an agree
able degree.-Harpers Weekly.
