Booming a Cemetery.

Cecil Rhodes once fitted up q beauti-
ful cemetery near Kimberley. but for
some reason II remained untenanted.
Seeing this, Mr.. Rhodes offered a DO
nus to widows who would bring their
husbands to be buried In his cemetery,
but without avail. Eventually one
poor woman allowed her husband to
be buried there, and q handsome mar
BILE stone was erected over his grave
But even then the scheme hung fire.
The inhabitants passing the gates Of
the beautiful cemetery would look
through the ratings and see the ono
man lying there In solitary state and
go away shaking their heads and
thinking how lonely It must be. Mr..
Rhodes got so exasperated that he in
creased the bonus until 1t was large
sum. Then the inhabitants gradually
began to weaken. one after the other,
bringing their dead to the lonely GEN.

Letter Writing In Ancient Babylon.


1t can easily be understood that the
reading and writing of cuneiform was
not an accomplishment in the possess
sion of every one. Nevertheless there
we're plenty of scribes everywhere, es-
pecially in the cities, where they sat
at the temple gates to be at the service
of the public. The frequent represen-
tations Of scribes are hence interesting
and show that In addition to clay tab
lets the Babylonians used some sort
of flexible material to write upon. The
large number of letters which have
been excavated, many of them from
the ninth century before Christ, indi-
cate that very active correspondence
was carried on In Babylonia by means
OF messengers. but even more active
was the use of writing in commercial
dealings, which was strictly enforced
by law. Nothing was legally binding
unless 1t was done into writing in
the presence OF Witnesses Professor

zine.

HER STAGE DEBUT.

She was young and she was fair,
And Withal was debonair,
Maybe just score OF summers was
her age;
And they listened when she said,
AS she tossed her pretty head.
This is just my very first time on the
stage"
Think not that she was from where
Haysesds ramble I'm the air,
Not a bit-she came from Pittsburg In
her zest,
And the stage she had In mind
Was the fourmile shaky kind
In a little town called Jackson way

A Successful strataaem.

When the electric telegraph was
first introduced into Chile stratagem
was resorted to in order to guard the
posts and wires against damage on
the part OF the natives and to main
tain the connection between the
strongholds on the frontier. There
were at the time between forty and
fifty captive Indians In the Chilean
camp. General Pinto. in command of
the operations. called them together
and, pointing to the telegraph wires,
said:
"Do you see those wires?"
"Yes, general"
81 want you to remember not to 60
near or touch them, for IL you do your
hands will be held, and you will be IN
able to get away"
The Indians smiled incredulously.
Then the general made them each in
succession take hold Of the wire at
both ends Of an electric battery in full
operation, after which he exclaimed:
II command you to let go the wirew
81 can't. My hands are benumbedw
cried each Indian.
The battery was then stopped. Not
long after the general restored them to
liberty, giving them strict Instructions
to keep the secret. This had the de-
sired effect, for, as might be expected,
the experience was related in the
strictest confidence to every man in
the tribe, and the telegraph remained
unmolested.

"South Carolina GenealOgies."

In The State is appearing a series
of articles written by Mr.. A. S. Sal
ley. Jr., on "South Carolina Geneal.
ogies." The Pritchard and Wilkinson
FAMILIES, with many of their branches
have been the subjects Of the three
papers that have been printed. Not
only are the articles Of genuine his
torical value but they should be slim
ulative of an interest i'm personal and
family history. Moreover, the articles
should prove of wide and general in
terest as it frequently happens that
they disclose to readers their descent
from or kinship with families of
which these readers have been ignor-
ant Mr.. Salley has earned a repu-
tation as one of the most accuru,e
and conscientious workers i'm his field
In the country
The article printed July 25th, was
VI especial interest to Edgefield read
ers as it tells of the descent of the
late Governor Francis w. Pickens
from the Wilkinson family. Every
article will appeal especially to peo-
pie in one or another part of the
State.
