SOLD "A GIRL.
Driven From Home and Sold by Her
Father.

The Armenia colony III Worchester
Mass, is aroused over the sale OF
Mayrien Begosian, hged ii years, by
her father to Asadoor Shadbegian.
The marriage was performed by an
Armenian priest, but he was told
that the girl was IS years old, as the
marriage license showed.
According to the story told, the
home relations Of the irl had be-
come unpleasant, owing to the pres
ecnce OF a stepmother. The child
was ordered to leave the home and
never return. The father took the
matter philosophically. He deter
mined to get all he could out OF the
girl while he had her. SO he arrang-
ed a sale and the child was sold to
Shadbegian, a groccryman.
When the story was learned by the
more influential members of the Ar
menian colony, they were incenscd
and swore out warrants for the par
ties concerned. They will move to
have the marriage annullcd, if such
a thing Is possible.

SOME sixty years ago two Pennsyl-
vania farmers went to law with each
other because one Of them had cut
down a chestnut tree on the others
land. Recently the heirs Of the two
farmers paid the cost upon the final
decision Of the case. The total cost
in the casc was over thirty thousand
dollars in money, to say nothing of
the hard feelings the litigation caus-
ed among the friends and descend
ants of the two farmers. A similar
case to this was once fought out by
two farmers in the lower part Of this
State over a small steer. We hope
we have no such obstenate people in
Orangcburg County. If you have a
law suit with your neighbor let that
end the trouble.

SKELETON FACTORY.
Concern That Provides Bones For
Medical World,

The greatest skeleton producing
country in the world is France. Med
ical schools, hospitals, SET and
private individuals are supplied with
skeleton Of man and beast by the
great French monopoly, which has
branches in London and New YORK.
The skeleton factory is owned by a
rich man, and is under the supervis-
.on Of the French Government. For
taxidermy and preparing the skele-
tons Of animals and birds there is a
special department in the factory but
the business proper consists In pre-
pairing human skeletons. The husi-
ness is conducted very quietly in tho
heart of Paris.
The bodies Of animals, paupers,
unknown persons killed in accidents
bodies sent by scientists, explorers
from strange countries, and those Of
persons who had, before death, sold
their remains, are worked up in The
great French factory. 1t is q grew
some place, this establishment where
bones are bleached, wired and put
together. There are shelves and
shelves Of grlnning skulls, and draw
ers filled with loose limbs. When a
body Is taken to the factory 1t takes
several months before it ONE out of
the first treatment and the chemicals
used are kept q trade secret.
After the bones are nicely bleach
ed, they pass through a number of
other processes, the workmen In each
department bringing them nearer
completion. Finally, after the parts
have been wired and provided with
springs, they arrive in the Joining
room, where they are put together to
form perfect skeletons. Then they
are either packed for shipment or
placed in .he company's show room.
The French factory is said to have
been in existence more than 1870
years, and all the workmen engaged
there must have served at least five
years in the dissecting schools of
Partisan hospitals.

Numerous This Year.

The cotton boil weevil is unusually
numerous and destructive this year,
according to a report by DR.. w, ID.
Hunter, in charge of the boil wee
vii Investigation for the United
States department of agriculture,
He says:
"The condition throughout the
past winter have been unusually fav-
orable for the Information of the boil
weevil. The two critical conditions
for successful Information, tempera-
ture and dryness have been as favor
able as they will prabably ever be.
"The mild winter and spring is
having the effect of causing an I'M
usually early emergence.
"The conpitions indicate clearly
that weevils will be unusually album
dant in the cotron fields, and that
great damage is to be expected.
Some conditions, for instance, dry
weather during June and July after
the cotton plants are well started,
may serve to check the insect"

TEXAS CAMPHOR FARMS.
--latest Addition to the National Re-
sources in That State.

Camphor farms are the latest adj
dition to the resources OF Texas. The
Government now has two farms in
operation in the State, which bid fair
to becoming centers for the produc-
ton Of the much needed article. Prac-
tically the entire supply Of camphOr
for the world now cOmcS from For
mosa and is controlled by Japan.
Camphor is one of the ingredi-
ments needed in modern warfare and
is used In the manufacture Of eXplO-
sives used in high power guns. Now
that the Japanese government has
control OF the worlds output, it is
not certain that it could be had at
times when it would be most needed.
In order to provide for the future
the United States has started two
farms In Texas. The plan of cult
walton will be different than that en-
ployed in Formosa. In that Island
the plants are allowed to grow for a
time. Then they are ,ut down after
they have become trees n ground
In Texas the camphor seeds will be
sown like wheat.
When the small shoots have grown
to the height OF four or five feet they
will be cut a foot from the ground
and the camphor extracted. This
gives a quicker return in the crop
and n better grade Of camphor, This
process can be repeated from year to
year until a new field is developed.
At the present time one acre Of cam
phor will yield $3.50 a year. The
price will fall when the cultivation
becomes more genera in Texas.

CHEROKEE uOMICIDES.
The First Man Hung There Was II
White Man.

The Gaffncy Ledger says: "about
forty homicides have occurred In
Cherokee county since it's organiza-
ton ton years ago and it's a fact
worthy Of note hat the first person
to pay the death penalty was n white
mar who was q native Of the county.
This is cot saying that others should
not have been convicted but it's a
healthy sign that the juries OF the
county have arrived at the point
where they are showing a proper re-
gard for the rights Of It's citizens.
Surely this will be alesson and will
check the flow OF blood in this coun
ty"

The CARNEY Ledger says: Last
Monday a negro plead guilty to house
breaking and larceny before Judge
Aldrich. The Judge gave him two
years. The same day a white man
plead guilty to the same offonso. The

greater than the negro and you
should know better" And we are
