Notwithstanding the fact that
with n the past seventy-one years
the Patent Office at Washington has
granted l,524,74s patents, the fer
tile inventive geniuses of the coun-
try are yet finding something new
under the sum-" Of the 57,679 pat

Illinois was in the lead with $40,
while South Carolina filed only 72
applications. One of the few inven-
tors of this state is a: resident of
;Edgefeld.
During his long experience dis a
dry goods merchant Mr.. j. E. Hart
has seen the great need for store
fixture that would not only display
table oil cloth but protect it from
damage at the same time. When
heavy rolls of oil cloth are placed
one upon the either in horizontal
position, particularly in hot weather,
the gum or rubber on the cloth
softens and adheres, one layer to
another. There have been crude de
vices used from time to time to dis
play and protect oil cloth but moth
ing has fully met the need. Mr..

Hart conceived the idea of con-
structing cabinet that would hold
the rolls in a vertical position, and
after being fully satisfied that such
a store fixture would meet the need
of long, standing he applied for
patent from the national govern
ment, which was readily granted.
Prior to six months ago Mr.. Hart
had put very few cabinets on the
market, owing to the difficulty ex-
.perienced in having them properly
manufactured. At one time he

Enormous Amount Paid Out For
+. Insurance.
Insurance.

ThefolIowing from the Colum-
.bia Record. shows that an enormous
amount of money is sent.ou Of the
state each year for insurance pre-
minms !:

written of sl79,o32,982.6o amount
ed to s2,299, ,5ls.e5, while the fire
losses paid were only 81, 1915.
There were 1925 life policies
written during the year, amounting
to s2a,45f, ,o61.7O, and the total
premiums paid on insurance in
force. amounting to some hundred
million dollars, were s3,553,o53.o5,
while the losses paid were only

ums amounted to s63,23G.G6 and
the losses s2s, ,277.6o., The, fidelity
and casualty premiums were s219,-
43s. 56 and losses paid ON this busi-
! ness sIo2,s04.32. The fraternal Or
ders collected s469, ,624.46 in premi-
ums and paid out in losses $780,

Forth past nine years, inclu-
sive of 1908, the fire companies
have collected premiums of Sl2,

only s8,s4l, ,469.59. In that time the
life premiums amounted to s23,O9o,-

DRED YEARS.

London.-The House of Lords Tues
day night. for the first time in 800
years, refused it's formal assent to the
budget, thereby making it illegal for
the Kings agents to collect taxes with
which to carry on the government.
The vote was $50 to rs.
The vote was on Lord Lansdowne's
amendment, that the house was not
justified in giving it's consent to the
bill until it had been submitted to the
judgment of the country.
The budget will now go before the
country for its approval or rejection;
that is, the crown, through the min
istry, will dissolve the House Of Com
mons and order general election.
Whether the present liberal house
and ministry shall be sustained in in
sisting on the budget will be the Issue
in the contest at the polls.
This action of the peers was taken
in direct disregard of the advice of
such able members as Rosebery. Nor
ley. Lord James of Hereford, Lord Gro
mer, Lord Balfour of Burleigh, the
Earl of Lytton, Lord Courtney and the
Archbishop of Canterbury and York.
After six days debate, notable tor
the high standard of the oratory, as
well as for the arguments for and
against the budget, and placing in
every possible light the great consti-
tutional questions involved, the House
Of Lords cleared for division at half
past II o'clock tonight.
The scene was impressive but in no
sense exciting, except that the house
was packed to it's utmost capacity. A
great array of strange faces were
seen on the benches, as numbers of
peers were present who appear in the
house only in most exceptional cases.
None would have supposed that the
evenings proceeding was destined not
only to prove memorable in the annals
of British history, but possibly would
involve far-reaching changes in the
British constitution.
Indeed, there was unusual animation
in the public galleries, which were
crowded with peeresses, members of
the House of Commons and ambassa-
dors, but on the floor itself complete
calm prevailed.
Nearly fifteen minutes was occupied
in clearing the house. the tellers for
division being Earle Waldegrave. Wis
count Churchill, Baron Denman and
Lord Colebrooke.

before midnight, as $50 to 75 in favor

DOG HUNTS UP BOYS GRAVE.

How little Carlo. brown and white
spotted dog. found the grave of his
dead young master. Stanley Green, a
Lebanon (Pa) lad Of 13. mile
from Stanley's uncle's home here, no
body can guess.
Stanley. long an inseparable COM
panion of his pet Carlo, died a few
weeks ago, and the devoted dog was
permitted to follow the coffin to the
uncle's Reading home, but not to the
cemetery.
For days the little dog disappeared
for day or two at time, and finally
the keeper Of the cemetery discovered
him lying on Stanlerrs grave.
Friends were notified and the dog
was taken home; but every day he
returns to keep watch over the mound
and is half famished from his long
and faithful vigil.
