MORE kAoLlN = SOUND IN SUMTER
An Abundance OF this Material 10
Here,

The sale of tract ofland near Amer
lcus a week ago for the round sum of
$4,000 kaolin mine being located
thereupon, has put other land owners to
hunting kaolin, with the result that
other deposits have been found here.
Along the west bank of Muckalee
creek, within two or three miles of
Americas, there is said to be large de-
posits of this valuable clay, and the
development of the property may fol-
low very shortly. In addition to this
wealth lying idle here, is a deposit of
earth containing sulphur which, it is
said, will make an excellent fertilizer
if properly mixed with other ingredi-
ents.

The FRENCH Idea.

The Frenchman of the middle class
sacrifices everything in order to obtain
for his children some official position
or other, a mean one, perhaps, but a
sure one, leading after thirty years of
penury to a pension verging ON desti-
tuition. This is one aspect of the decay
of the French race. 1t is easy to I'M
derstand that two races are not evenly
armed for the struggle for life If one
be made up of aspirants to official po-
sition and the other of individuals pos
sessing initiative, daring and energy
For this reason do Latin races decline,
while Anglo-Saxon races grow and
multiply.-Paris Steele.

IBSENS PARADOX.
And the Intdmate Relation of Science
to Society.


And the Intdmate Relation of Science
to Society.
Ibsen, my great compatriot, has in
one of his works formulated the para
dox that the man is strongest who
stands most alone. There is certainly
some truth in this-nay, there is much
truth in it so far as science is con-
cerned. The man who in the search
for truth goes his way Independently
of other men and of other considera-
tons is certainly the man who is apt
to find the greatest and most valuable
truth. On the other hand, tits also
true that science more than most other
things in life depends on cooperation,
on the help of ones fellow beings, and
this becomes more and more true every
day. Many people are apt to forget
what science actually is and what they
owe to science, for it is through sci
ence that modern society actually ex-
lists, and the development Of society as
it is today would be impossible If sci
ence were eliminated. Humanity Is
growing; but, if science and the means
created by science are not growing, hu-
mainly will have to look forward to
very miserable future. Therefore the
nation that wishes to be cared for
must support science and those who
carry on scientific work. Science will
live her own life and has done so ever
since the days when Prometheus made
his fatal expedition to the gods and
stole the fire which is more or less
burning in every one of us and cannot
be extinguished. There is something
sublime in this everlasting fire of sci
ence. Generation after generation dis
appears. The individual is nothing, but
always "watchful in the tower man
shall remain in sleepless contempla-

My daddy was a sojer,
And fought against the wrong,
''Bravely and defantly,'
AS they say in the song.
My dad says it's a gallant thing
To be sojer, but
'Tis orful when the bullets sing
And sabers slash and cut
If I was Mr. Uncle Sam
Or his next bestest friend
wouldn't let them really fight,
But make them jest purtend.

| (Greensburg Correspondence Indian

Mrs. Elizabeth ;Finnan, aged IS
years, is dead after a lingering ILL
ness. This simple, statement would
not arouse special interest, but be-
hind it lies the story of a woman's S
devotion to the man of her choice
and OF her sacrifice to the country
of her adoption.
The story of Elizabeth Cain Fin
nan is one of the most remarkable
in the history of the war of the re-
bellion. Offering her services at
Sandusky, O., when her husband en-
listed, she was taken to Cincinnati,
where she was accepted as laundress
for the S1st Ohio, and from that
day at the beginning of the war
until the regiment was mustered out
at Columbus, o., in September, 1864.
she was never absent from her post
of duty at any time.
Altho she went in the first place
as a laundress, that post was soon
abolished, and the husband was in
formed by Gen. Dodge that his wife
must leave the regiment. Gen. John
A. ] Ogan had observed the attach
ment between the husband and wife
and interfered in their behalf. Mrs.
Finnan was permitted to remain,
ami a little "a" tent was furnished
for her She drew the Government
rations the same as any soldier, and
much of the time wore male attire.
In times of danger she carried
musket just as the soldiers did, and
in all respects shared the rough life
of the men about her. Often she
marched so miles a day. and her
courage and endurance were equal
to that of the soldiers themselves.
A list of the battles in which she
took part reads almost like record
of the engagements of the war of
the rebellion. She was at the bat
ties of Corinth, Pocahontas, Hunts
vile, Ala; Harrisburg. Mo-; Pulas-
XII, Tenn; Fort Donelson and Chat.
tanooga, Tenn; Snake Creek Gap,
Kingston, Shiloh and others After
every battle Mrs. Finnan offered her
services in the field hospital. Wher-
ever and whenever needed she was
at hand, and neither Surgeon nor
soldier ever called in vain for her
aid At the battle of Lookout Noun
tain she was able to perform some
service for Gen. Grant, who later
took occasion to single her out forI
praise.
