About Friction.

E. B. F.-Sometmes 1t is enough to friction the skin of the face with the bare hand, applying father of soap and water with sponge but when the pores are somewhat overcharged. something more than friction with the smooth hand is generally required, and In such cases the use of a piece of flannel or white serge, doubled and spread across the hand. IS effective. Friction the skin with this first with soap and afterwards with water to rinse off the soap, and the complexion will become bright and clear, especially if the surface is wiped dry with mod erately rough but not stiff towel, which is very much better for the skin than very fine soft towel.

For the Complexion.

The best food for the complexion is that which is most readily assimilated. No woman can have a clear skin if the body is not being rid of Its waste products ac- lively for these poisons are absorbed by the blood and, as usual thing, blotches and p.mples appear upon the face and neck. Drink plenty of water. eat great deal of fresh fruit, take a bath every day and breathe deeply. The lungs send away waste products. so does the skin deep breathing aids these processes. Ev- cry woman has observed that when she Is feeling well her eyes are bright and her complexion clear. Getting to bed early taking exercise out of doors. living a sane, sensible, simple life are the plain rules for preserving young and good looks Late hours wear one's roses away

Die At SAME HOUR.
MISSES MARGARET HANNA and A6-
Mes Jane HANNA STRICKEN
Down BY TYPHOID fever.

1t is seldom our duty to re-
cord a more melancholy event
than that which occurred last
Saturday, when two ladies'
aunt and nlece-living near town
were stricken down by that
dread seourge, typhoid fever,
almost at the same hour, 11.30
a m.
Miss Margaret Hanna, the
aunt, was about thirty-seven
years old and had been i'll for
about three weeks. She is sur
vived by her mother, Mrs. Jane
Hanna, one half brother, Mr.. }.

Mrs. R. 4. McClary, one brother
and two sisters, respectively,

Miss Agnes Jane Hanna was
a daughter Of Mr.. j, H. Hanna,
Sr., who lives about four miles
east Of Kingstree. She was only
twenty.one years old, IN the
bloom OF young womanhood and
her many friends deplore her
untimely death.

that the two, aunt and niece,
should die at the same hour,

here in the neighborhood OF
MooreS X Roads, was found
dead in his field Sunday night.
He had suffered for some time
from attacks of heart trouble,
and some three or four' months
ago an enlargement appeared
on the right side. He is said to
have spoken to his brother, Mr.,
j. r. Christmas, about this en-
largement, telling him that
when it burst the end would
come. Sunday morning Ar,
Christmas left his house about
ten O'Clock, telling his wife that
he was going to walk over the
fields He was never seen alive
afterwards. About night a ne
gro woman discovered his dead
body near a foot path in the
field Magistrate Gasklns was
notified. He went to the scene
and after talking with the tami
ly and neighbors decided that
there was no reason for an in
quest and issued his burial per
nit. It seems that there was
absolutely no evidence OF any.
thing like foul play, but every
thing pointed to one conclusion,
and that was that Mr.. Christ
mas died from natural canses
Examination revealed the tac1
that the enlargement had disap
peared. The probabilities are
that he was seized with an at
tack which brought On pnccn
sciousness that passed into
death. Mr.. Christmas was abou1
thirty years old and leaves a
wife and one child.
An. investigation held last
Thursday into the manner OF
young Ben Lees death. of which
mention has already been made
made in these columns, only
confirmed the first account as
given by The RECORD. There
was no evidence that any one
had anything to do with his sad
taking of.
We are about to make a start
ling statement. In fact it is sc
startling that We are not pre-
pared to accept it without q
mental reservation and we are
going to give the sources OF oul
information. 1t is this: There
is living in this year of grace
1907, a genuine niger who will
not eat watermelon! Take time
and let this soak in. Such a
declaration can't be rushed
Mr.. Joe Woods tells us that Mr.
W. E. Hanna says that Tom
Johnson will not eat watermel-
on. We wash our hands of the
entire horrible affair. 1t is awful;
it is gruesome: it is untbinkabl
The matter is up to Messrs
Woods and Hanna and Tom
johnson. Mr.. Woods Is a Con-
federate veteran and knows
how to handle bombs and such
things, but nigger who doesn't
love "watermillions" is a new
proposition. Mr.. Hanna is ex-
probate Judge and knows how
how to manage widows and or,
phans, but he never had his
hands full before. A niger and
a watermelon antagonistic!

Science and Moralitv.

The true student of the professional
or technical school becomes heir to a
comprehensive and clear understand
ing Of his duties and responsibilities in
his relations to his fellow men and to
the community. Those duties and re-
sponsibilities present themselves to his
trained mind in their real proportion.
He is neither nondeveloped nor malde-
veloped in his judgment of affairs. His
university training. especially in the
technical school. has taught him accu-
racy and penetration in the analysis of
any proposition confronting him and
that truth and knowledge must be
sought with the directness Of a plumb
line. Science yields nothing but con-
fusion to the shifty, devious and dis
honest inquirer. The fundamentals of
morality are the very stepping stones
to technical success or professional at
tainment.-Scientific American.

Noses Of Great Men.

Prominent noses seem to have been
the property Of many great men. Ly-
curgus and Scion had noses six inches
in length, and Ovid was surnamed
Naso on account OF his large nose.
Scipio Nasica derived his name from
his prominent olfactory organ, and
Alexander the Great and Cardinals
Wolsey and Richelieu all had large
noses. On the medals of Cyrus and
Artaxerxes their noses came clear out
to the rim of the coin. Washington's
was the true aquiline type, Indicative
Of firmness and patience, as was the
nose of julius Caesar. Mohammed had
a singular nose. 1t was SO curved that
a writer has told us that the point of it
seemed continually striving to insert
itself between his lips. The noses of
Franklin, Shakespeare and DR.. John
son all had wide nostrils, betokenlng
strength and love of thought. The nose
of Napoleon was exquisitely though
firmly chiseled. He often said, "Give
me man with plenty of nosew Fred
erick the Great had SO large nose
that Lavater offered to wager that
blindfolded he could tell it among 1O,-
600 by merely taking it between his
thumb and forefnger.
