When The Tide Rose.
The Edgefield Man Stuck to
His Sentiners Post.

The Edgefeld Ohrouicle tells
the following story of a faithful
sentinel on duty on the beach of
Sullivan's leland during the civil
war:
Sullivan's Island is about four
miles long and before, the jetties
were built from it to deepen the
channel, In order that deep yes.
sells Right enter the harbor of
Charleston, the beach on the
south front was beautiful. At
low tide 1T was as smooth as a
floor, and two or three hundred
feet between the dry sand and
the water. Twice day at high
tide, all that level surface was
covered with water. In Janua.
ry, 1851, when times began to
look "pe-ril-ous," as Billy Ian.
drum called it, line of sentinels
were strung along the beach at
night. On one occasion, the
first relief was posted about dark
at low tide, and were to walk
their beats near the water. Each
sentinel would walk about two
hundred feet until he met anoth
er sentinel, and then back. OF
course, they were 10 get little
farther from the rising tide as it
came in. Charley Covar, of
Edgefield, who was on duty for
the first time, had been instruct.
ed by the corporal not to leave
his post for any purpose until he
should be released two hou.s
later. His orders we're also not
TO let any person or persons pass
without the countersign. That
when a person was halted make
him advance near enough to
give the countersign or password
in a whisper.
Charley believed that soldier
should obey orders implicitly.
He had been on his beat but a
little while when he noticed the
water gradually encroaching on
his line of walk, but he stuck TO
it, and two hours later when the
corporal with the relief guard
came around Charley was up to
his waist in water. He cried,
"Halt," to the relief guard,
and said. "Who comes there? ?"
The corporal answered, Corporal
with relief" Charlie said /:
"Stand relief, corporal, advance
and give the countersign." The
corporal who, with his relief was
a hundred feet away on dry land,
said "Come out here, | am not
going in the water" at you
DON'T" was the reply, 81 will
shoot you" The corporal, seeing
it would be dangerous to have
any more words, waded in, gave
the countersign, marched Charley
out and put the relief on his
post, but not in the water, abus.
ing man for having no bet
ter sense than to drown himself.

ALL MAIL BOXES
HAVE BEEN PAINTED
Uncle Sans Property Is Given
A Coat of Green.
COLLECTIONS ON SUNDAY.

All the mail boxes in the city, num-
bering about seventy have received
their new coat of green paint and uu
slightly boxes are now things of the
past.
Cards giving the time of collections
and deliveries, have been ordered by
Postmaster Spekenhier and these VIII
be placed on the boxes as soon. as
they are completed. Owing to the fact
that boys have in the past tempered
with the cards and cut them off the
boxes, they will be replaced only
once, and it is up to the citizens to
protect the cards when they are plac-
ed on the boxes. The penalty attach
ed to an offense of tampering with
the mail boxes amounts to fine be
tween $500 and $1,000.
Three carriers make a regular Sun
day collection now and all letters
dropped il the boxes on that day VIII
arrive in time for the Sunday evening
mail. Heretofore, only the mail from
the most prominently located boxes
was collected, but it has been found
advisable to make a collection over
the entire city on Sunday afternoons.

FAMINE RELIEF FUND
HAS REACHED S4O3
This Is Still Far Below What
Was Hoped For.
SOME HINDRANCES FOUND.

The China famine relief fund for
Richmond and Wayne county, has now
reached S403.71, which is still far
from what was expected by the minis
tiers on the soliciting committee. Sew
enty districts in Richmond and two
townships are all that have been heard
from up to date. The work has been
hindered from time TO tiWe, owing To
the inability of the committee to fill
the vacancies created by the withdraw
al of those persons appointed TO take
charge of the canvass in various dis
tricts. Others have. been hindered
by various things in their work up to
date. The canvass will be completed
within the course of the next few days
and the money realized. forwarded to
the Christian Herald publishing CON-
pany of New York.

MISS JOHNSON LEAVES
Was Deaconess for First
Methodist Church.
GIVE FAREWELL RECEPTION

Miss Agnes Johnson. who for the
past six months has acted in the ca
pacity of deaconess for the First Meth
odist church, has resigned her position
and will take-up similar work for the
First Methodist church in Valley City,
n. d. Miss Johnson was brought to
Richmond during the Sunday school
canvass, that she might aid the First
church, and her assignment here was
merely temporary. During her stay
here she made a host of friends who
will regret her departure. Wednes-
day night she was rendered a farewell
reception at the home of Prof. d. r..
Ellabarger, the members of the con-
gregation which she has served, being
largely in attendance.

NAPTHA--gO PER CENT
Manufacturer Says His Stove
Polish Is Dangerous.

At another of the public hearings
which Deputy Fire Commissioner
Hugh Bonner and the members of the
Municipal Explosive commission are
brought out yesterday that many stove
polishes contained 30 per cent of nap
tina. This dangerous preparation was
in universal use, it was said. Fiji
teen manufacturers were present at
the hearing.
A. l.. Prescott, of J. l.. Prescott *
Co, manufacturers of stove polish,
said that his firm made a stove polish
composed of plumbago, yarnish and
naptha. He explained that as IT left
the factory it was about the consisten-
cy of condensed milk, and contained
about 30 per cent of naptha. This
was sold TO stove manufacturers, who
diluted it to suit themselves. Used
on cold stoves in warerooms it was not
dangerous The domestic polish, how
ever. put up for household use, in the
hands of ignorant or careless ser
wants or others and used on warm
stove was highly dangerous.
not infIammable or explosive Mr..
Prescott said. CAS- a manufacturer
am heartily in favor of any action like
" to lead to the abolition of this in
flammable stove polish from the mar
ket. 1t is largely made out West.
They are pushing it vigorously and to
keep our trade we have to manufac
ture considerable quantity, but it is a
dangerous product to handle. We have
had several serious accidents at our
factory in Newark, and | would be
glad TO see it go.
"Naptha is much more dangerous
than gunpowder. The inflammable
vapor which arises from it is invisible
and as it is four times as heavy as air,
1t steals along the floor and seeks out
the fire. Its great danger when spread
on a stove from which all the fire has
not disappeared is perfectly plain. =

GOOD SPRINGS
Diamond Drill to Prospect
Promising Claims

F. \. Strehlke, mining man, recent
ly from Bullfrog district, this week in
vestigated properties and general indica-
tions in the Good Springs district.
As result of his investigation he left
Las Vegas Thursday for Salt Lake City
to procure diamond drill, with which
promising prospects will BE- explored.
He has secured options on several
valuable claims and is highly enthusi-
astic over the district. He pronounces
IL exceptionally good country, highly
and says the natives don't
know what they've got.
On the dump OF most OF the prospect
holes is rich zinc ore that until very re-
Gently was considered valueless in the
camp. This ore which is in carbonate
form, runs from 20 to so per cent zinc.
1t is also claimed that the Good
Springs smelter project is a long way
from being the joke it has been con
by many,

SHELTERS
Is II Cheaper TO Haul Ore to
Fuel or Coal to Ore?

Is it cheaper to haul the ore to the
fuel or railroad the coal to the ore
that is the question that interests Las
Vegas and Ash Meadows.
Senator W. A. Clark intends erecting
a smeter at Pennington for the reduc-
ton OF copper ores from the Verde
mines at Jerome, Ariz. Near Farming
ton there is large supply OF coal and
coke necessary for the reduction of ores,
and while Jerome is a long way distant
from Pennington, Clark thinks it
would be cheaper to haul the ore to
the coal supply than to haul the fuel to
the ore.
Senator Clark could bring coal from
Utah to feed a smelter at Las Vegas
cheaper than 1t could be shipped to
Ash Meadows. BY negotiating with
Hartman he could get reasonable
rate on freights.
The Needles Smelter refutes the
Clark theory. That smelter brings
fuel long distance by rail and is
doubling its capacity. They carry ore
from Good Springs, Ivanpah and ada
cent camps and compete with salt
Lake.
The Santa Fe railroad carries copper
ore from Ivanpah to the Needles smelt-
er for 81 20 per ton.
\ smelter at Las Vegas or Ash
Meadows would have better climate
than at Needles.
