Killing of Etheridge.

From the best information OBJ
tainable Waterman Etheridge
arrested an unknown negro man
last Thursday night for lettering
on the streets after midnight and
started to Jail with him. On ar
irving at the jail door the negro
turned and shot Etheridge, who
died in a few minutes. He then
took a pistol from the dead man
and escaped. Ayoung man NAM
ed Short was present when the
killing occurred, but being un-
armed, could give no assistance.
The shooting occurred between
one and two o'clock in the morn
ing. No clear description of the
murderer can be had on account
of the darkness. 1t is probable
he never will be caught for the
lack of proper description.

Two Hundred Dollar Raise.

Washington, April 2. NJ
bers Of congress will feel the IL
nancial effects Of the salary in
crease on April 4, when the first
checks for the increased pay will
be mailed them. Each member
will receive a check for $625, the
monthly pay under the new law.
His monthly salary was formerly
$416.
A lift of 5000 a month is not to
be sneezed at, especially when a
member did not have to go on
record as voting for it. He can
vigorously assert that he voted
against it and no one can show
anything to the contrary in the
house record. This is about what
two thirds Of the house members
are going to assert in the next
campaign.
The increase will cost the peo-
pie 81, 100, 900 this year. | will
cost more as the membership OF
congress increases.

The Italian government while
perfectly willing that we should
recruit emigrants in that country
from the so-called "Dago" class,
has interposed it's veto upon the
efforts of Mississippi and Louisi-
ana farmers to export from the
country laborers from among the
peasantry, a class distinguished
for its industry, integrity and
peaceful Tenderness. In other
words Italy is willing to give US
the refuse OF her population, but

kiplinq as an Art Critic.

AS an after dinner speaker the au-
thor Of '"The Absentminded Beggar" is,
even his most ardent admirers will con-
TESS, not success. AS an art critic
he has pretensions. His friend Baden
Powell thinks himself something of an
artist and is an assiduous member of
the London Sketch club. ITO see him
there" says a writer In the Grand
Magazine, struggling with pencil and
water colors one would think he cared
more for artistic than military re-
nown." Upon one Of the gallant SOL
dier's artistic triumphs the novelist has
written two verses. One runs as fol-
lows:
This is the ocean bright and blue
with the Dunedin Castle blowing through.
But II you turn 1t upside down
It is the veldt so bright and brown
The other has been lost to posterity.-

Swiss Shoemakers,

Swiss shoemakers work ten to twelve
hours day. "The factory workman"
says Special Agent Arthur B. Butman
in United States government report,
sis required during the summer to
begin his labor at 4:3O or 5 a. m. This
early hour Is demanded in order that
the fresh energies Of the workers may
be obtained by the employer, as near
~ all artisans are engaged to a great
er or less degree in agriculture for per-
sonal benefit. During the winter sea-
son work in factories commences at 6
O'Clock. Fifteen and twenty minute
rests are allowed at 8 and 4 o'clock
respectively, when refreshments Of
beer and bread are taken. From one
to one and one-half hours are allowed
for dinner. The principal food of
Swiss shoemakers consists Of bologna,
bread and cheese, with beer; fresh
meat is seldom eaten unless on feast
days; soups are served on Sundays"

SMELLING A TOWN.

All Its Houses Built of Bricks of Gold
and Silver Ore.
One reads of romantic castles of sill
yer and palaces Of gold, but they are
the dreams Of fiction. Now they have
discovered something as strange on the
map Of Mexico. The buildings of a
whole town have been bought at SO
much ton, based on assays from the
adobe walls, which give gold and silver
values. This town is Guanajuato's
suburb, Tepetapa, at value Of about
$4,000 Mexican currency.
The value Of this little town was re-
vealed when the Mexican Central de-
cided to build into the city Of GUIANA
juato and to establish station there.
It was found necessary to tear down
about 300 buildings which had been
built Of the shines produced by the
grinding Of ores from the numerous
mines Of the district. Straw was mixed
with the slime to make the adobe
bricks.
When it became known that the Cen
trail would have to tear down these
houses an enterprising ore buying
company asked for permission to as
say ore taken from the buildings. This
was granted, and samples were picked
from the walls at various heights and
on various sides Of the buildings, the
assays running in value from SO to $24
q ton in gold and silver. The values
averaged about So gold ton.
AS the buildings were built In vari-
GUS bonanza epochs, 1t was found that
the values varied to large extent.
For instance, wall on one side Of a
house would assay a low value, where
as wall on the other side, built at an
earlier or later time, would assay a
high value. A mans kitchen might
assay 60 cents a ton and his parlor
$50.
That the walls are found to contain
more gold than silver values Is due to
the fact that the old patio process of
treating the ores was more effective in
extracting silver than gold values, and
the shines left were richer in gold than
silver. 1t will be harder to build such
q town in the future, as the camp is
now fitted out with modern appliances
for treating ores.-Mexican Herald.

The people Of Summerton never do

GOOD wooden school building, about as
good as the average, and better adapt
ed for the purpose than the school
building at the county seat, but the
wide-awake spirit Of progress was
aroused and they realized that to carry
out the scheme of building up the town,
modern school house must be one OF
the greatest inducements. Through
their representative, Senator c.. NJ.
Davis the necessary legislation was Sc
cured, and the people Of the district
voted for the bond issue practically
unanimously. The result is modern
school building is in course of construc-
ton, and anticipating the good to be
derived people from the surrounding
country, and elsewhere are moving IN,
houses OF an up-to-date pattern have
been built and are in course OF build
ING, brick stores have been built, and
are being built, and the freight re-
ceipts at the Summerton depot show a
tremendous increase of business. The
wise provision OF adequate school facil-
tiles has contributed largely to this
happy condition. The trustees of the
Summerton graded school are making
preparations to celebrate the event OF
laving the corner stone to this educa'
tional edifce, and on Friday May 10Th,
an appropriate program will be carried
out which will include an address from
some distinguished educator, and other
speeches. The whole community will
interest themselves 10 the exercises
and there will be large turnout.
It would be a paying investment II
