Roy Saul Passes Away.

Roy Sauls, aged twenty years,
grandson of Mrs Higgins, of the
Unisn hotel, died yesterday after
noon after an illness of only a few
DAYS. He was taken sick while at
work at Schneck's drug store
Tuesday morning and was forced to
20 home at once. His condition at
once became alarming and he gradu.
ally grew worse until the end came.
He was a bright young man almost
at his majority, and would have
graduated in pharmacy this year in
Atlanta where he had been attend
ing school for the past year.
He leaves q mother, one sister anG
two brothers to mourn his loss. The
announcement of the funeral
arrangements will not be made until
relatives are heard from.-Sntinel-

4 FAMILY MIX.
The Story ~ II 10 Recorded On the
1omhstones.

The Story ~ II 10 Recorded on the
Tembstones.
In the early part Of the last century
there lived in an old New England
town a Mr.. Church, who. in the course
Of his pilgrimage through this vale Of
tears, was bereft Of four wives, all Of
whom were buried in the same lot In
his old age it became necessary to re.
move the bodies to new cemetery.
This melancholy task the much be-
reaved widower undertook himself,
but in the process the bones Of the Ia
mented quartet became hopelessly
mixed. Priding himself on possession
OF a New England conscience, Mr..
Church would not, under the painful
circumstances, permit the use Of the
original headstones, but procured new
ones, one Of which bore the following
inscription: "Here lies Hannah Church
and probably a portion Of Emily" An
other: Sacred to the memory OF Emf.
" Church, who seems to be mixed
with Matilda" Then followed these
lines:
Stranger, pause and drop tear.
For Emily Church lies buried here,
Mixed in some perp.eXing manner
With Mary, Matilda and probably Han
nah.

Sun and Earth.

The suns greatest distance from
the earth, about July l, is nearly
100000 miles; his least, about
Jan. !, rather less than 81 900, 600
miles; his mean distance is about
92,333,0o0 miles. 1t may serve to
give some idea of the vastness OF
this distance to say that ball fired
from thirteen inch gun at the sun
would require thirteen years to
reach it's mark, supposing its veloci-
ty to remain unchanged throughout
the journey. The sums diameter is
$50, 600 miles, exceeding the earth,s
about 109 times. The sun exceeds
the earth in surface 11,750 times
and in volume 100000 times.

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL.
Health is Worth Saving. and Some
Kingstree People Knew How
To Save Ii,

Many Kingstree people take their
lives in their hands BY neglecting
the kidneys when they know these
organs need help. Sick kidneys are
responsible for a vast amount of
suffering and i'll health, but there is
no need to suffer nor to remain IN
danger when all diseases and aches
and pains due to weak kidneys can
be quickly and permanently cured
by the ase of Doan's Kidney Pills.
Here is a Kihgstree citizens recon-.
mendation.
Mrs W H Carr, E Main Street,
Kingstree, S c., says: my mother
speaks very highly of Doan's Kidney
Pills, having used them with the very
best of results. She suffered great
deal from bsckache and distressing
pains across her loins and kidney re-
gions. The remedies she used did not
seem to helpher much and lately while
she was visiting me, | procured a
box of Doan's Kidney Pills for her
at Scotts drug store. She used them
as directed and they gave her more
relief than anything she had ever
tried. Since then she has had no
pain of any sort and her kidneys have
also been strengthened"

No Breath, No Sting.

There is said to be a way to flch
from a beehive all it honey and
yet avoid being stung. All you
have to do is to hold your breath.
1t is simple and easy enough, and
the only reason it has not been
tried more often is that few people
know it. Even the bullet-like hor-
net cannot injure you, it is assert
ed, if you refrain from breathing
for q moment. In this condition
you may even pick him up and
watch his singing apparatus vainly
working in the futile attempt to
puncture your skin.

FACTS ABOUT COUNTIES.
Some of Them Are Larger Than Many
of the States.

The county is a territorial divi-
sion that the United States derived
from Great Britain, where the coun-
ties correspond to the provinces or
departments of other European
countries and in a limited sense to
the states of the American Union.
An Englishman addresses letter
to "Parkinton, Hants," as we ad-
dress letter to columbus, o." or
"Elmira, N. Y"
One state, which derives its
usages from French and not from
English originals, has no counties at
all. In Louisiana these subdivisions
of the state are still called parishes,
both officially and in ordinary
speech, though they are now divided
into many real parishes of the
church.
There are about 900 counties in
the Union. with an average size OF
about 1000 square miles, but this
average is enormously exceeded IN
MANY instances and is also fire.
quently fallen below. Leaving out
certain great unsettled counties IN
the west, the average county would
be about 500 square miles in e1-
tent.
In much Of the western part OF
the country the size of the county
is regulated mathematically. 1t con-
sists of sixteen townships, each COM
posed of thirtv-six square miles,
making SIC square miles in all. In
other words, each township is six
miles square and each county twen-
ty-four miles square.
In Iowa there are thirty-nlne
counties that we're formed IN this
way, each one of which has exactly
SIC square miles. Such divisions
were possible IN the newer west,
where these min political divisions
were made in adva of settlement.
In the older parts OF country the
territorial arrangement were large
ly accidental.
The largest county in the United
States is Yavapai county, Ariz.,
which has an area of almost 10000
square miles. Nine states of the
Tnion are each smaller than this
ntv. 1t is larger that the whole
Vest Virginia 9Hd almost as
as South Carolina.
,he sixteen counties Of Montana
average a greater size than the state
OF Massachusetts.
Among the other great counties
IF the Union are San Bcrnardlno
and San Diego. in California, which
are not only vast regions, but con-
tam great productive territory;
humboldt and Lincoln counties, in
Nevada, which are only sparsely
populated, and Lincoln county, \.
NJ, which bids fair in time to have
a large population.
Although the New England states
are small, the average size of the
counties is greater than in most
of the middle, western and southern
states. Worcester county, in Massa-
chusetts, is an example of an east
ern county that is at the same time
large in area and very populous. 1t
is larger than the adjoining state OF
Rhode Island.
The smallest state in the Union
has the smallest county as we'll.
Bristol county, r. l., has only twen-
ty-fve square miles. At once place
it is not more than two miles IN
breadth.-New York Tribune.

Orphan Eork-day.

There is family OF $50 orphan
children at the Epworth Orphapage,
Columbia, S c., Methodist.
There are $50 orphans at the
Connie Maxwell Orphanage, Green
wood, S c., Baptist.
There are $50 orphans at the
Thcrnwell Orphanage. Clinton, 5 c.,
Presbyterian.
There are 30 orphans at the
Church Home, Charleston, SC,
Eplscopalian.
The Lutheran Church Home is at
Salem, Va.
The Hebrew Home is at Atlanta,
Ga
The Roman Catholic Homes are
in Charleston, S &.
The support and care of all these
various denominational institutions.
with their large body Of fatherless
children is sufficient appeal to
every heart.
Some years ago it was suggested
by Rev. Howard Crumley of Atlanta,
Ga, that on the first Saturday and
Sabbath of October, all those who
love children set apart those days
for gathering funds to relieve the
needs of the fatherless. On that
Saturday, let everybody old and
young, rich and poor, devote the day
to the Orphanages, each man sending
his gift 10 the Orphanage ne loves
the best or that lies nearest his heart.
The Georgia scheme worked well.
For several years an effort has been
made to rouse an equal interest IN
South Carolina, and Alabama and
Florida have also taken it up. In
every community some Jealous
brother might take up the matter
and push it and the days work
from everybody would 90 to the
orphans. This proposition Is not
in the interest of any one orphan
age; it Is intended for each one 10
give 10 the orphanage nearest his
heart. Give Saturdays wages to the !
orphans. Gather the proceeds on
the Sabbath and forward 70 the
institutions above named. 1t will !
be sure to reach the right spot, if
drafts and checks are made out to
the name of the institution itself and
provisions shipped to the same.
We have DO doubt that when an
individual community makes special
request of the railway authorities,
-four and rice and molaSSes or any
other products would find them
willing to deliver without charge.
Notice that this is simply state
ment. Urgent appeals are not
necessary. The orphans need help.
The institutions are unable to give
it, without the backing of the
people. At this season all then
treasures are greatly depleted. Do
not overlook the day.

WAITING

Sometimes, when sunset skies are overcast
And have lived my day as best know,
fall to dreaming, and remember so
The golden sands that dazzled as they passed
Sometimes, when tired eyes are filling fast
hear thy footballs near me, hushed and slow.
feel thy kiss upon my hand, and grow
Toward the calm of perfect peace at last.
Sometimes my lonely soul cries out for thee.
My hungry heart pleads for thee deep within:
Then once again hear thy dear voice call.
All, sweetheart! Say that in eternity
God gives us back these long-lost years and in
A binding instant we shall find them all!

DREAM RIVER

Along the Fields of Sleep the river strays
Where in the sun the golden water gIows
AS with drowsy melody it flows
Through woodland aisleS and scented forest ways:
And like the dew summer morning lays
Upon the petals of an opening rose.
The mist yelled eyes Of tired dreamers close
With soft enchantment resting on their gaze.
Amid the clover where the wild bees hum
And, passing silver sunbeams, gently sift
Their garnered treasure into meadow grass,
l wait, my dearest, till God lets thee come;
Until adown Dream River We may drift
And gather slumber lilies as we pass.

After she had made her debut, with
