]. Hartford is rejoicing at the mag unanimous decision of Dr Rockwell Harmon Potter to remain with the First church. It was a great but de- served honor to him to be called to the leading church of the denomina- tion ill which he was reared and to
 great center of pulpit influence in Greater New York and the country lat large. Despite the attractiveness
 of the Collegiate church of St Mich
 olas, with it's salary of $11,0O0
 year, he has decided to stay with the
 church where he is so much trusted
 anC loved. Fifty of the leading men
 of his 1hurcl, met ih the mayors
 office and drew up resolutions which
 they presented, assuring him that
 decision to remain would command
 the cordial approval of the entire
 city and would cement the ties of
 love and loyalty which are his with
 out reserve in the hearts of his con- gregation" expressing to him the hope that ne would be able to con- sider Hartford as the field in which he shall choose to do his life work"; and pledging to him their active support in the works to which he may set his hand in the enlarging opportunities of the Frsr church of Christ in Hartford" P'Orle of all | classes in Hartford, as well as mem- bers of his own church and brethren | in the ministry, feel a personal tri- umph in his decision. His wise aG- vice and helpfulness is neyer lacking to those who seek it. His potent in- fiuence in the city is destined 10 in crease in the comins years, for he gives himself heartily to progressive forms of individual and social His wise ltaIershlp, his grasp of business principles and 'tatesmanship are manifest, not only
 n his own church, but in the larger
 interest of denominatiOnal efficiency md local cooperation.

The Palace of an Egyptian King.

From Zion's Herald.
 The great result of the work of this year carried on at Memphis by Prof. Flinders Petrie under the auspices of the British School of Archaeology has been the discovery of the palace of King Apries, the Pharaoh Hophra of the Bible who was contemporary with Jeremiah, B. c. 629-5SS. Hitherto no palace has been known in Egypt other than the tower at Medinet Habu and some portions of a rather earlier date. The palace was 400 feet long and 200 feet broad, with a middle court 100 feet square. It was adorned with painted columns 40 feet high and sur- rounded with stone-lined walls 16 feet thick. The approach to the palace led up through large mass of buildings to a platform at height of about 50 feet above the plain. In the ruins scale armor, hitherto rarely found in Egypt, was dis covered. Good bronze figures of the gods were also found. What Professor Petrie describes as a supreme piece was the fit- ting of palanquin of solid silver, a pound thor, with gold face of finest workman ship of the time of Apries. The great gateway and immense walls descend deep into the mound, indicating that there lie ruins of successive palaces built one over the other. Professor Petrfe prophecies that in six or eight years excavators might dig down to the earliest records of the Egyptian Kingdom.

From the Portland Telegram.

From the Portland Telegram.
 Skunk farming is becoming an import ant industy in the southwest, and yet the man who suggested 1t was regarded as mentally unsound. A few years ago an enterprising, imaginative Washington correspondent sent out purely fake story about the big money which was to be made in skunk farming, giving the de- partment of agriculture as his authority. The result was that hundreds of letters from people all over the country poured into Washington and addressed to the de- partment of agriculture.
 At that time there could be given but one answer, and that was that the story was a fake and that there were no facts relative to the industry, but since then there has been great change, for the story did effective work. In the skunk regions" the farmers got busy, so to speak Today there are hundreds of such farms on paying basis.
 The average skunk produces quart of oil. and the fur or skin always brings a good price, fashion regulating the value. At the present time the skins which are the most valuable are the darker ones. A pure black skin is worth from $loO to

slSunks, the belts of which would be worth that many dollars.
 The amount of oil gathered from this number would be 29,600 ounces. worth just s13,S0O At the expiration of four years you would have killed 1,S90,000 males, the pelts of which would be worth $1,S9o,0o6, and the oil, 15,12o,000 ounces, worth $7,66O,- GOO. And you would still have 3,7Oo,OOO skunks left
 It is not surprising that skunk farming Is being taken up throughout the coun- try and if it was possible to deodorize the skunk the industry would be even more popular.

SKUNK FARMING IS AN
 IMPORTANT INDUSTRY

s2.50, according to the quality and size; a striped skunk skin brings in the market about 50 or 60 cents, while those with a part stripe are worth in the neighbor- hood of $1.
 While there are no official statistics on record, it Is known that the American skunk will begin breeding at 1 year old. They breed twice year, and have filters of from to Han average of eight to the litter.
 It has been figured out that a man who understands skunk farming can be- gin on 20 skunks, 15 females and males. and in few years he can have healthy bank account. It is not difficult to cal- culate how rapidly these 20 skunks will increase In number. Say you begin work early in the fall and that in December they breed. At once you have an increase of 120 slxunks. putting the average in each litter at eight. In June they breed again, and if the same ratio of increase be kept up, at the expiration of a year and g. half you will have 7495 skunks.
 rut the belts at s1 each, the belts of 200 male skunks would bring $200; the oil at 50 cents an ounce would be worth $500. Then figuring as was done on the increase in skunks, at the expiration of year and a half you could kill 37o0 male

STARTING A FROG FARM.
Simply Get Government Pamphlet
 and Put Up Fence.

A gentleman of this city has recently received pamphlets from the department of agriculture on the raising of the large food bullfrog. It is the purpose of the gentleman shortly to start the culture of the frog on quite an extensive plan. If is also the intention of the gentleman 10 get a large collection of the best bull frogs he can find and put them in a large marsh that is located near this place in Santa Rosa county fencing the marsh in such a manner that snakes cannot get into 1t. It is thought by the gentle- man that he can thus raise a large num- ber of healthy bullfrogs for the market and make a good profit out of the busi- ness.

Observed Flower Mission Day.

Friday afternoon at 4:3O o'clock,
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union and a number of invited
friends assembled at the home of
Mrs. Beaureeard Timmons to cele-
brate Flower Mission Day. This oc-
casion is observed every year on or
near the 9th of June in memory of
Jennie Casseday, the originator of
the Flower Mission. On that day
each member is expected to do some
deed of unselfish kindness for some
one in need or distress, some lonely
or suffering one, either by a visit, a
letter, flowers, and more substan-
tial remembrances.
Mrs. Tirnmons'I beautiful lawn
was a picture with its many tables
and comfortable seats and the in
yiting bowl Of ffuice which was
served to each guest as they enter
ed. The interior was beautifully
decorated with an abundance of
flowers and white, the emblem of
the organiEatiun. The program was
as follows: There are lonely hearts
to. cherish by a chorus.

way they had observed Jennie Cas-
seday's birthday, and it was very
interesting to hear the many ways

closed with a chorus and short
prayer by Rev. P. P. Blalock. Al
soon as the program was finished
all repaired to the lawn where re
freshments were served. The Wo

1ery Beautiful Home Wedding.

The elegant home of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. S. Tompkins on Columbia
street was the scene of u quiet but
very beautiful wedding Tuesday af-
ternoon at FIVE o'clock, the occasion
being the marriage of their daugh-
ter, Marie Lucille to Mr.. Augustus
Summerfeld Merriman, of Sumter.
DR.. G. E. Burts officiated.
A very elaborate wedding had
been planned but the recent bereave-
lnent of the family caused a change
of plans. Instead of the hundred
and more relatives who had been in
yited to be presenc, only: the imme-
Gliate members of the two families
witnessed the ceremony.
There were no bridesmaids OF
groornsmen present. The bride en-
tered the parlor upon the arm of
her younger sister, Miss Christine
1,ompkins, and che groom upon the
arm of his uncle, Mr.. I. E. Fore
man, of Macon, Ga. Miss Maxcie
Sheppard played the wedding
march.
Soon after their marriage Mr..
and Mrs. Merrinlan left for Char.
lotte and other points in North
Carolina, where they, will spend a
fortnight before going to Sumter.
The relatives and friends of these
two happy young people in our
town, as we'll as those in other
parts of this state and in North
Carolina, could not be present but
they sent scores upon scores of
beautiful tokens of their esteem and
affection. A larger or handsomer
assortment of painting, cut glass,
hand painted china sand silver we
have never seen in Edgefeld.
1T is with keenest regret that
Edgefeld gives up the bride, her
gentle manner, lovable disposition,
beautiful traits of character and
sterling qualities, having won for
her an abiding place in the affec-
tor of our people. The handsome
groom, who resided in Edgefeld
before graduating at the South
Carolina Co-Educational Institute
is a model young man, Of whom
nothing too good could be said.
He holds a lucrative and response
BILE position in one of Sumter's
banks. The Advertiser extends con-
gratulations and sincerest good
wishes.
