Senator Baker and others are be-
hind a movement to make a division
of the twentieth senatorial district
taking Sumter away from Marion and
giving the county over to Lake to
form a district. Those behind the
movement feel than Marion county is
big and important enough to form a
district by itself. Lake is not as
large as Marion, yet it has two repre-
sentatives and a senator.-Times-U Tn.

In looking over an old Congress

In looking over an old Congression-
al Record the other day, of 1883, We
observed that the president. vice pres
ident chaplain and every senator of
that period was dead but two, Senator
Teller and General NJ. c. Butler. Now
the announcement is made OF the
death of General Butler. He was OF
a distinguished family, being a neph-
ew of Commodore Perry and himself
was a major general in the Confeder-
ate army. His death will be very gen
orally lamented, and il reminds us
that the soldiers of the civil war are
getting more and more lonesome.

The city board of health held a
meeting last Friday and discussed
many matters pertaining to health
and sanitary conditions The most
important matter, perhaps, that came
before it was the communication from
the state board of health requesting
the mayor to insist upon keeping the
dogs muzzled. This paper hopes that
the city board of health VIII cooper
ate with the Woman's Club and make
unceasing war on the filthy. pestifer-
Gus and MISUNDERSTANDING flies. The
board of health should insist that all
public stables shall be lined and
sprinkled with kerosene every day

inspector. The stables are the breed

about it, but see that it is done

HAD TOO MUCH INTELLIGENCE.
Usefulness of Marvellous Ineubators
 Ended by Scrap"

Speaking about incubators," drawled old Jeff Weatherby, in the back of Jason's general store, Ire mains me of the wonderful chicken hatchers built by the Hains boys Bill Hains invented the most. marvellous incubator ever seen in these parts. It not only matched the chickens out, but it actually shielded the little chicks from a hawk just like an old hen. Then Pete Hains got busy and went one better He built an incu- bator with a photograph arrange ment that would 'cluck-cluck' to the chicks and scratch up worms for them"
 "Whewl" gasped the starch drum mer. q have heard a lot of yarns, but that is the limit. What became of these wonderful incubators?"
 Busted, stranger. busted all to bits. You see them thar ineubators were so intelligent they soon grew jealous of one another and first thing you know there was a scrap to equal any game chicken fight that ever come of. When it was over both were only fit for the junk heap. Thanks, stranger, I'll take 8 cigar"

FEW DIAMONDS ARE smuecLED.
Amount So Brought In Has No Effect
 on the Market.

Very few diamonds are smuggled into this country now. whatever may have been the case in former days" declared an agent of a large jewelry house who makes a yearly trip to Flu rope to purchase precious stones. 'The amount that is brought in without duty is so small as to have no effect on the market Uncut diamonds are not taxed The duty on cut stones is but ten per cent. Amsterdam, Holland, is the great market for diamonds. Nearly all the New York dealers who import buy from that city Eighty per cent of the diamond cutting for the world is done in Amsterdam. Few small diamonds are cut in New York city. There are almost no facilities here for doing the work The expe- rienced cutters at Amsterdam can turp out the work cheaper than it can be done on this side of the water even when the customs duty is added to the rates paid the Holland manufacturers. Large diamonds, about three-quarters of a carat, are cut here, but most of this work is recutting for the changes in style of setting
