MUST BE DEAD.
Hope No Longer Entertained for the
Modern CruSOe.

MODERN CruSOe.
All hope Of finding Fred Jeffs, a
sailor who was stranded on Indefati-
gable Island, in the Pacific ocean, has
been practically abandoned. The
gunboat Yankton, which was sent
from Cailao to hunt for the missing
seaman, has arrived at Acapulco,
Mexico, and the commanding officer
reported to the navy department that
no trace of Jeffs has been found,
which is taken to mean that he Is
dead.
That Jeffs must have experienced
many more hardships than those re-
lated of Robinson Crusoe, is evident
from the nature of the island upon
which he was stranded Indefatig-
able or Santa Cruz Island, is on the
equator, entirely uninhabited save by
monster turtles and venomous rep
tiles Of the tropical regions. The
searching party believe that Jeffs
could not have lived long after he
was wrecked, on May s, 1907.

State dispensary money have been
officially notified by the Governor
that these funds must not be paid
to any one without the proper pro-
duction of the collateral and without
thee heck being signed by the chair
man of the commission and the State
Treasurer. Inasmuch as the collat-
erals are all in the Office Of the
State Treasurer, it is not likely that
the banks will care to violate the in
structions of the Governor, although
the banks are also under injunction
from. Judge Pritchard not to pay out
this money except by order OF his
Court. At any rate, the banks ap-
pear to be sure Of keeping the money,

be most securely tied up.
Governor Ansel also sent letter
to all the county dispensary boards
stating that some of them owe the
State dispensary commission for IL
ouors purchased out Of the stock OF
the old State dispensary and notify
ing them that these amounts must
not be paid except when called Tor
by the commission, and that the

Because He Walked Home with a
Young Lady and Then
COMMIT TED SUICIDE.
At Marion Young Man Walks Into
Cotton Mill, Shoot and Dangerous
ly Wounds Another Young Man
and on His Way Home Puts Bullet:
Through His Brain.-Community

Terribly Shocked.

Through His Brain.-Community
Terribly Shocked.
A dispatch to The News and 'Cour-
ier says the cotton mill village in the
eastern surburbs of Marion was ter
ribly shocked by double tragedy,
which occurred Friday morning as
a result of which one man is dead
and another dangerously wounded.
At about 8 o'clock Luther Hewitt,
young man who had been up until
few days ago, an employee in the
mill, walked into the mill, where Ar
thur Stephens was at work, and after
saying only few words to him fired
at him at distance of about one or
two steps, the ball. taking effect in
his neck, passing to the right OF
his windpipe. Stephens Immediately
ran, but was shot again at distance
of few steps, this ball hitting him
in the back Just over the left shouI-
der, causing him to fall.
Hewitt, evidently thinking that he
had killed the man turned deliberate
ly and walked out Of the mill and
toward his fathers house, but when
within short distance Of his home,
turned the pistol and fired at his own
head, but missed the first time. The
second attempt, however, was sue
cessful. He held the pistol to his
right temple and fired, killing HIM
self instantly.
DR.. Q. G. Smith was hastily sum-
moned, and reached the wounded
man within few minutes, and find
inth that neither of the balls could
be easily Located. he decided to take
his patient to the hospital in Flor
ence, where he hopes that with the
use Of an X-ray machine, the bal4ss
may be located, extracted and the
mans life saved.
The train from Wilmington to
Florence was at the station at the
time he examination of Mr.. Hewitt
was being made, and Conductor
Jones kindly consented to hold the
train for ten minutes until the
wounded man could be placed upon
it, and this was done within that
time, DR.. Smith accompanying him
to the hospital.
The alleged cause Of the trouble
is said to be that young Stephens
walked home from party last night
with a young lady to whom the de-
ceased was very much attached. But
the general impression among the
friends of both parties Is that Hew-
tits mind must have been unbalan-
ced, although he had not shown any
previous symptoms of mental de-
rangement.
Neither of these young men is
married, both of them living in the
mill village with their parents. The
deceased was a son of Mr.. W. D.
Hewitt the night watchman at the
mill, and Arthur Stephens is the SON
of Mr.. and Mrs. J. B. Stephens. Both
of the families are natives Of Mari
on County and have great many
friends, who are inexpressibly grieV-
ed by the tr:5'

USING SEA WEED.

Of late years the chief use to which sea weed has been put in this country is as fertilizer. and in this direction the department of agriculture has made some interesting investigations. AS sea weed taken directly from the rocks contains about so per cent. of water, and as it is most valuable for fertilizing when 1t is only partly dried, it is clear that 1t is useful for that purpose only along the coast. But it has been carried eight or ten miles inland and still used effectually.
 It is a particularly good fertilizer for such crops as potatoes and clover. which require plenty of potash. It is said that there is no place in New England where red clover grows so well as near Rye Beach, where the soil has been fertilized with sea weed ever since the country was settled. In that locality it perpetuates itself and grows on the same land year after year without eseeding.-washi Post T E i.

JELLY TO CURL HAIR.

C3o preparation can possibly give permanent, curl to the hair. Many things used for curling are very harm full. One having some value and quite without injurious qualities is a solution of gelatin. But its employment de- mands care and patience. A strong so- lution of gelatin should be made with boiling water. In fact, as much gela- tin should be dissolved as the water will take up. This solution is to be strained while very hot. Now glycerin equal in quantity to the solution must be stirred in. The mixture should be poured into a jar with a wide mouth. It will set thick jelly. At night dis solve one teaspoonful in wineglassful of warm water. and apply to the head. Comb the hair well. In the morning run a Metted comb through the hairt .~-

Relief for
 Child's Cold

If child has very bad cold in the throat and chest there is nothing which gives quicker relief than a warm mix ture of glycerin and olive oil. oil re- tains the heat much longer than a plaster and when covered with bib of flannel or wool will remain warm a long time. Heat tho two ingredients in pan, dip flannel bib into the mixture and apply to the child's breast and throat. Cover with double thickness of cloth, This Is exception ally good for croupy children. A drop of oil of tar in spoonful of honey or white molasses will check a hacking cough if little Is slipped and slowly swallowed. Usually children will take any cough medicine that is sweet. In cases of sore throat. if the child Is old enough to gargle the throat, make a mixture of two tablespoonful of perox- ide of hydrogen and this will give great relief, especially where there are ulcers in the throat. Three drops of carbolic acid in a tumbler of warm wa ter. in which is a teaspoonful of soda, is a reliable remedy as old as time, yet well worth remembering.

Matters of Interest to Women
HELPS TO
 POPULARITY

Do not interrupt another while speak ing.
 Do not find fault. though you may gently criticise.
 DO not appear to notice inaccuracies of speech in others.
 Do not talk of your private, person. al and family matters.
 Do not always commence conversa- ton by allusion to the weather.
 Do not, when narrating an incident. continually say you see, you know"
 Do not intrude professional or other topics that the company cannot take an interest in.
 Do not speak disrespectfully Of per- Isonal appearance when any one present may have the same defects.
 Do not talk very loudly. A firm. clear, distinct, yet mild, gentle and mu- sical voice has great power.
 Do not be absentminded, requiring the speaker to repeat what has been said, that you may understand.
 Do not try to force yourself into the confidence of others. If they give their confidence, never betray 1t.
 Do not intersperse your conversation with foreign words and high-sounding terms. It shows affectation and will draw ridicule upon you.

Batiste is to be much used for sep arate blouses with smartly made tai- lored skirts of serge or linene. The favorite colors are deep burnt ivory. and one of the prettiest new models shows insertings of fine torch on lace between groups of hand-run tucks Trimming cuffs and front plait are tiny gold ball pendants made of gold thread over wood. A new model in rather severe style shirt waist has tiny box-plaits fuil length at front and back alike, and between them handdrawn stripes hemstitched and caught in design at middle, these being little over one quarter of an inch wide. The cuff and the high turndown collar have hems attached by fagoting. This IS a very easy thing to copy by hand in leisure moments.

SOME GARDEN HINTS
Time Has Now Arrived to Think Out Plans for Coming
 Flowers.

We are now in the midst of prepar- ations for the summer garden and ev- cry little preliminary means a great gain for the future.
 Presuming that the earliest flower seeds have been planted several weeks ago, and should be making good pro- gress, be very careful to give an abundance of fresh air with plenty of light; should the seeding become too crowded, thin out and transplant be- fore too far advanced. In addition to the previous lists the following can now be sown to advantage: Asters for mid season blooming, few nasturtiums for early flowers, zinnias, marigolds, centaurea, catharanthus, annual pinks, stocks and gaillardia for the general summer supply.
 Planting for the vegetable garden can now be started in earnest, save for the general crop of tomatoes and use only such varieties that have proved reliable, the Acme, Beauty, Stone and Buckeye State can hardly be improved upon. The rotation of names suggests the period of ripening Early cabbages are now to be planted, the Jersey Wakefield is still the best early kind, the Winningstadt the most compact heading summer variety, for second crop there is great similarity in the early summer, early Flat Dutch and all seasons. These varieties are all excellent. If one has damp, rich spot in the garden SOW little snowfall caulifower seed and have your own supply of this delicious vegetable ear ly in the summer Should any one de- sire celery in the summer SOW little of the lf-blanching varieties now; transplant when quite small, thus hav- ing well-rooted plants for outdoor use by the first part of June If you are fortunate enough to have a cold frame SOW a few early forcing radishes. a little patch of parsley, some Boston

market lettuce, small space devoted to Egyptian beets and a section of the large prizetaker onions These when transplanted to the open ground pro- duce enormous mild favored roots that will surprise most cultivators.
 In the course of two weeks the ground will probably be in condition for digging and planting. Then comes the general sowing of peas. parsley. parsnip, onion, lettuce, celery, autumn cabbage, etc; also in flower seeds we mention especially mignonette, poppies and phlox drummondi. These three va- rieties are very difficult to transplant and thrive much better If sown in the open border.
 Sweet peas will very soon need to be planted: In another week we hope to tell further how to prepare the ground, how to SOW. where and what to buy, with a resume of the most distinct va rietles. V.

To Protect
 Fine Hosiery

Girls will not be half so apt to dance holes in their delicate silk stockings If only they will have slippers powdered inside. This simple operation permits the silk and shoe to rub toegther with decidedly less friction and the wear is thus not so great.
 A girl who wears exquisitely em- broidered stockings with all her party frocks and who feels a distinct griev- ance when holes appear has hit upon a plan that works well with her for preserving the hosiery intact.
 Her habit was to wear holes at the back of the heel where the slipper edge cut across.
 All slippers now have band, not more than half an inch wide, of vevet, the same shade, pasted just within the top of the edge.

CARE OF TEETH.

However economical one must be in bringing up ones children never stint on the care of their teeth. The most beautiful face will be spoiled by ugly, ill-shaped teeth. while the peace of a whole family Is equally ruined by a child crying all night with toothaehe that a little care would have prevented. Boys especially are so apt to be care- less about their teeth that 1t is well to bribe them Into good habits in this re- spect. offer small prize or an fn- creased allowance to the child who has not neglected to brush his teeth after each meal and before retiring during one day in the seven. It will be found much moro effectual than scolding or punishing.

BOIL FISH PROPERLY.

In boiling any fish you should put enough water in large pot to enable a fish to swim in if it were alive. Add to this water half a cup of vinegar a teaspoon of salt one whole onion, one dozen whole black peppers, one blade of mace. Take any fish and sew it up in a new piece of cheesecloth, fitted to the shape of the fish. Put in the wa ter an heat slowly for thirty minutes, then let it boil hard and fast for about ten minutes. Unwrap and serve with drawn butter made from the liquor in which the fish was cooked and add to 1t the juice of half lemon.

Fruit tarts-Make a short pie crust and line individual cake tins with it. Set In oven to brown. When cold fill these little shells with almost any fruit. Blueberries which have been boiled down rather rich are delicious; also blackberries or raspberries. If peaches or apricots are used they should be sliced and a spoonful of whipped cream put on top of each.

An egg shampoo is not hard to give If one Is careful about the rinsing. Beat the yolk of one or two eggs up with tablespoonful of hot water and apply 1t to the scalp. Part the hair in strands before putting it on and rub 1t in with toothbrush. If possible let the egg stay on for an hour before washing 1t off Rub the egg up to a father with lukewarm water, wash through several aters and then rinse out every particle In iukewarm water. When certain that none of the egg remains the scalp and hair can be washed off with hot water, If desired, but should this be done too soon the state of the hair will be far from pleasant.
