kaolin.

The name kaolin is said to be
derived from a hill near Kingih-
chin, in China, called Kaoling,
where the clay was first found in
considerable quantity. The kaolin
earth was first sent to Europe by. a
Jesuit missionery Of Kingtihchin
about 1875. A similar clay was soon
afterward found near Schneeberg,
Germany, and used in the manufac-
ture of porcelain, thus laying the
foundation of the famous Dresden
ware. Kaolin is found in Nebraska
and in some of the eastern states.

LAKE CITY CORRESPONDENT
FLOODS and THEIR ORIGIN.

Editor COUNTY RECORD
The floods have come and gone,
but our bridge at 'Johnson's ferry
was saved by the foresight of Su-
perYisor Singletary by ripping up
the flooring and putting it on top OF
the hand railing and by mailing "bat
tons" from bridge post to caps, etc,
and by ropes tied to trees before the
water got over the bridge. No CAM
age around Johnsonvllle section, but
Mr. j G Eaddy, just over in Florence
county, reports nine. tenths of his
fine crop ruined.
The back water in Muddy creek
was over the road dam at Ards X
Roads.
But | see some one told your Lake
City correspondent that Pee Dee
water had got up to the Half
Moon on Lynch's river at Mr. Sl>
mon Postou's. Now, l want 10
know who told that story, or was he
joking, or does he think Lynch's rlV'
er water is never muddy?
It is true that Pee Dee in every
freshet reverses the current at the
mouth of Lynch's river and it runs
backward to Goat island at Clark's
creek and thence down Clark's creek
to Pee Dee again, and sometimes the
current is reversed mp to Dolby
lskes-but Pee Dee water at the Half
Moon, 8 or 10 miles farther up, ls
something else. No! No! Pee Dee
water has not been there since Noah's
food. Thousands of years before
old Adam was born when God said:
"Let the waters under the frma-
ment be gathered together in one
place and let the dry land appear;
when the ocean bed sunk down the
mad waters, rushing down to the
sea, cut out channels for the rivers
aud swirled and drifted Pee Dee
sand from Godfrey's ferry for miles
along her Eastern side, now known
as "the sand hills, with stunted
growth of pines and black-j jack, you
can see to day how the swirling wa
ters left the sand in the nils and
hollows, and you know it IS Pee Dee
sand by the isinglass in it. No! No.
Pee Dee sand did not drift up to-
ward Half Moon, but Half Moon
sand drifted towards Pee Dee from
that day to this.
Speaking of the floods. the know
ing ones say they are caused by the
destruction of the forests and the
remedy is reforestation. But they
are caused by ditching and canaling,
which turn all the heavy rains ut
once into the rivers. Talk about a
remedy for foods! Just as we'll talk
about remedy for dying! They have
come to stay and foods will occur as
often as concerted conditions pre-.
vail. They are the result of drain

They Give Charm Which Nothing
 Else Can Supply.
 Every resident of a community owes certain obligations to 1t which he can not slight without annoyance to those about him. One of these duties Is to observe order and care about his prem ises. X home which Is the very per lection of neatness and beauty may bs thoroughly spoiled by slouchy place adjoining it. It is the duty of ever, citizen to keep his grounds clean an' ttractive, and they can be made bean spots with little care and expenst. When one resident takes up this work Hhers usually follow and whole llocks are thus beautifed. This + what makes the town attractive and brings new residents. In an article on beaut1fying yards in the Home Magazine Eben K. Rexford says:
 Every yard ought to have It's shrubs They give to 1t charm which nothing else can supply. On very small grounds they take the place of trees very satis. factorily. Indeed. they are preferable there because they are not likely to outgrow the limits assigned them, as trees will in time, and they do not make shade enough to bring about the insanitary conditions which are almost always found to exist in small places where the trees have made strong de yelopment.
 Shade is a pleasing feature in sum mer. but there is such thing as hay ing too much of 1t. We frequently set places in which the dwelling Is almost hidden by th!cket of trees, and el animation will show that the house i: always damp and that the occupants 0. 1t are unhealthy. Look at the roof, an1 you will be likely to find the shingles covered with green moss. The only remedy for such a condition of things Is the thinning out or removal of some of the trees and the admission of sun Night. Shrubs can never be charged with producing such state of things hence my preference for them on lot, where there is not much room.
 Vines can be used upon the walls Of the dwellings and about the verandas and porches Ill such way as to give ali the shade that Is needed, and. w!tA a few really fine specimens of shrubs scattered about the grounds, trees vii not be likely to be missed very much would not be understood as discollr' aging the planting of trees on places where there is ample space for then development \ fine tree is one or lLe most beautiful things in the Wotf'. but 1t must be given good deal oi room, and that Is something that cahho
