Hebron Happenings.

Hebron, June 7:-Mr and Mrs
L # DuBose visited relatives in
Darlington last week.
Mr. Ghas D Baker of Lake City
spent Saturday and Sunday in

Mr. Eddie McKnight,of Moore's
X Roads, spent Sunday with his
sister, Mrs II j Thomas, of this
community,
Mr. Editor, our folks are
saying anything, but sew
of our farmers are testing t.
corn crops this year. Perhal
we will be able to give state
ments of some of their acres lat
er. We have some good farmers
in our section and the writer
hopes to see several of our boys
try next year for the different
prizes.
We appreciate the letter in the
week before last issue of The
Record from our farmer friend
of Mouzons in regard TO engag-
ing cotton; for the writer be-
lieves in anything that will be a
betterment to the farmer.
Last,but not least, ,we,like 9TH
ers, must make complaint of
roads to our supervisor. We
would like to have him in our
part of the county to see the con-
dition of our roads. 1t is i'm
possible almost to haul fertili-
zers every year. And as long as
they are worked as they are, we
will not have any better roads
in our section,
The writer, like others, has
seen overseers take special care
of their plantations with the
road hands, when the work done
has not benefited the public
highway at all, only making it
worse than ever. / desire to
cast insinuations on no, one but
let's do what is right.

Women Who Are Envied.

Those attractive women who are
lovely in face, form and temper are
the envy of many, who might be like
them. A weak, sickly woman will be
nervous and irritable. Constipation
or Kidney poisons show in pimples,
blotches, skin eruptlons and a
wretched complexion. For all such,
Electric Bitters work wonders. They
regulate Stomach, Liver and Kid
neys, purify the blood; give strong
nerves, bright eyes, pure breath,
smooth, velvety skin, lovely COM
plexion. Many charming women owe
their health and beauty to them. SOC

WILL fight COUNTY
QUITO BITTER END.
such IS SENTIMENT At HARPERS-NEW
COUNTY NEEDED But NOT IN
RUTLEDGE AREA.

Harpers, June 7:--People OF TINS
community are watching with much
interest the movements of the Rut-
ledge county promoters. We notice
that if this new county is laid off
according to the amended petition it
will put our county seat ON the ex-
treme edge of the county. As it now
stands our people here at Harpers
are 26 miles from the county seat.
Lake City,the supposed capital of the
new county, is only Is miles from
Kingstree and they now intend to
run the new countyAlines nearly to
the town limits of Kingstree. | must
think that any reasonable-mlnded
man in the old county would oppose
this move of the new countyltes.
Your scribe believes that Williams
burg county is too large and should
be cut, but it should be cut so as to
benefit her citizens at large. I don't
believe this new county will ever be
created in the area where it is now
expected, because it will make mat
ters worse than at present. Let the
people of our old county wake up
and get busy ard see that our county
be not cut to the injury of our peo-
pie at large. 1t is no harder for our
Lake City friends to travel Is miles
to the county seat than it is for our
people here to travel 25 miles. Our
people here stand ready to do their
part in this matter, but think the
citizens at the county seat should
set the ball to rolling. If the people of
this county sit IN idleness eur coun-
ty will be completely demolished
while we sleep. l voice the sentiments
of the people of this lower part Of
the county when say we will fight
this move to the bitter end, and let's
start the war by getting up and do
ing something now.
The farmers of this community
have some fine crops of both corn
and cotton, but the constant down.
falls of rain and rapidly growing
grass are costing extra expense and
labor.
The bean crop is over and cnoum-
bers will be shipped now, also mel
ons will be on the market by June
20.
1t is reported here that Harpers
and Rosemary will both 60 under
one charter and be one town in the
near future. The wliter thinks this
will be to the benefit of both towns.
The name will be changed, but it is
not vet settled what the new town
will be called.
Mr. Jack Bruorton, the competent
G georgetown dispensary clerk, was
visiting friends in town last satur-
day and Sunday.
The home of MIR and Mrs l. Il
King was made happy by the COM
ing of a baby girl on May n. By

AN ELEVATED GRAssHOPpER.

The Royal Exchange in London is
still being decorated with paintings
by leading artists depicting the great
events that have brought about the
supremacy of England through the
medium of this historic building.
Yet the many thousands who visit
the Royal Exchange daily have very
little idea, says the Strand, that this
pile owes its origin to curious cause
to nothing else than the chirping of a
grasshopper.
The chirp of this insect attracted
the attention of little boy to a baby,
the son of poor woman-so poor that
she could not support the child, and
therefore had left him to perish alone
in large field near her hovel. The
little boy took the child home and it
was brought up and eventually BIOS
somed into no less a person than Sir
Thomas Gresham, who built the Roy
al Exchange.
The prosperous merchant, to hand
down to posterity the incident which
saved his life, took the grasshopper
for his crest, and that is the reason
why that insect is placed, as every
one can see, over the Royal Exchange.

OWNERSHIP OF A NINE.
.om the Seattle post-IntellIgenoe

Judge Norman S. Buck died early
this morning. Judge Buck was a
pioneer resident of the Ceur d'Alene
mining district and was widely known
and popular.
In the late '8os Judge Buck rem
dered a decision while sitting on the
bench in Idaho that attracted atten-
ton throughout the nation, as it de-
cided the ownership of the Bunker
Hill and Sullivan mine, the greatest
er-lead producer in the world, still
said to be worth SIC, 900, 900 and hav-
ing an annual output of over $3, 900, :
600.
The mine was located by Phil
O'Rourke and his partner during a
prospecting tour in the winter of
1884.85 as result of the uncovering
of the outcropping through the paw
ing of pack mule which they had
found astray and appropriated.
Clutch Jake" Goetz and Harry Baer
owned the mule, and Judge Buck de-
cided that they were therefore entitled
to grubstake interest in the mine.
They sold their interest for $3oo, 900,
which became the foundation for a
much greater fortune accumulated IN
business in this city.

SURE TO WIN.
tFrom Law Notes.j

Justice is of course loudly demand
ed by every litigant in court of law,
but it is a frequent in6rmity of the
human mind to confuse justice with
ones own cause. The late Thomas
B. Reed used to tell an amusing story
to illustrate this tendency.
He was once retained by an enter
prising client to prosecute an action.
On talking with the plaintiffs wit
nesses Mr.. Reed found that their
stories were far from consistent, so
he reported the fact to his client and
advised that the suit be dropped.
The client was somewhat perturbed,
but told the attorney he would have a
talk with the witnesses and let him
know the next morning what he had
decided.
True to his word, he dropped in
bright and early, wearing the cheer
full look of one who has fought the
good fight.
i've seen those witnesses, he ex-
planned, land they say they must
have been mistaken when they talked
with you. They all see it alike now.
I've also seen some of the jurymen,
and they think I'll win. Now, If
there's such thing as justice in law,
we can't lose"

Judge anywhere" they'll tell you.

Judge anywhere, they'll tell you.
Hasn't touched a drop since the day
he announced for the place.
But if woman were telling you
the story of the Honorable William
Todd's success, she might follow it
with something about certain girl
hardly girl then but a woman
grown-who came back to Spring
vile the day after election and was
the very first person the new Judge
called upon.
"They live in that pretty place up
on the hill, now," she'd likely tell
you. 1T wasn't long courtship-
but they say Judge Todd used to love
her years ago. They called him
that wild young Todd in those
davs."

cONv1CTs BUILD ROADS.

The list of States now using con-
vict labor on the highways is too long
to mention in detail, says Popular
Mechanics, but Colorado, New Mex
ico and Wyoming are using such labor
to construct a great highway which
will run throughthe three States, and
Washington, Oregon, North Carolina
and Georgia, as we'll as several other
States, have gangs at work.
The convict road gang at work in
the southern part of Colorado mum.
bers eighty eight men. They wear
no distinguishing badge in the way
of clothing, and no armed guards are
to be seen anywhere. If a man wishes
to escape from such camp it is con-
ceded that he can easily do so, but
that he may be overtaken elsewhere
follows as matter of course, and the
penalty-dreaded by any convict who
has had taste of open work-means
that his activities will from then on to
the end of his term be confined within
the prison walls.
Only five officers are in charge of
he camp, which is composed oftents.
The convicts sleep in one big tent,
and during the day they are divided
into FIVE gangs, each officer having
charge of gang. Eight hours Of
road work constitute a days labor,
and the men must 60 to bed prompt
ly at 9 O'Clock every night except
Saturday, on which they are allowed
an additional hour.
Amusement is allowed to all in the
camp. Some of the convicts own and
play musical instruments. Cards are
also allowed. Some spend their time
pitching quoits, and a ball game is
usually played every evening before
darkness sets in.
The method of guarding the con-
vicls working on the roads in the
State of Washington is little more
strict, but amusements are just as
numerous. The provision. allowing
the convicts to do such work in that
State was passed in 1907, and the point
selected for making the first expert
ment was one of the most remote from
the penitentiary, the idea being to give
the new system the most severe test
possible.
The work selected was the build
ing of wagon road along the face of
nearly perpendicular rock bluff, the
work involving the handling of a
large amount of dynamite by the con-
victs. The character of the rock en-
countered was extremely hard, max
ing drilling very slow. Nevertheless,
the average daily work accomplished
by each man amounts to 2.42 cubic
yards of solid rock moved and one
cubic yard of earth and loose rock
moved.
AS the lowest bid received for NOV
ing the rock was 81. so per cubic yard
and for loose rock and earth 40 cents,
the average daily work of convict
was valued at $4.o3. The camp es-
tablished for the care of the prisoners
consisted of a stockade 80 by IFS feet,
inside of which was erected barrack
IS by 48 feet. On the outside of the
stockade and adjoining it was built
the guardhouse. The number of con-
victs employed at the camp has never
been more than thirty, guarded by
five officers.

cows IN THE LAP OF LUXURY.

The milk which is furnished in the
seven depots of the New York Milk
Committee to the babies of the tene-
ments is what all country milk could
and should be, says Hampton's Mag
azine. The cows on the farm sup
plying the committee are taken care
of as if COW were the rarest of ami
mails and likely soon to join the dodo
and disappear entirely.
They live in a St. Regis sort Of
barn, the concrete floors and iron and
glass walls of which are kept as clean
as a parlor. Twice daily the COW
stalls are sterilized with live steam.
AS a precaution against dust they
keep no hay or other food in the barn
but send 1t in as it is needed, by
means of trolley system.
| Every day the cows are inspected
by a physician and any COW not In
perfect condition is immediately re-
moved from the herd. Twice a
month chemists analyze the milk to
make sure that it is fully up to the
standard of richness and purity.
Before being MIXED each COW is
eroomed and sprayed with pure spring
water by man who has been medi.
cally examined and has just had a
bath and put on perfectly clean
white suit. A second man dries the
COW with sterilized single service
towels, after which the white clad
mixers, sitting on spotless metal
stools, perform their duties.
The milk is strained through steril-
lied cotton pads into sterilized cans
and cooled in a dustproof room which
no one except the white clad workers
is ever permitted to enter. Here the
milk is bottled, sealed and packed for
its Journey to the city. Within thirty
hours after the milk is packed it is
delivered at the doors of the milk
committees model laboratory in New
York.
Five men work in the laboratory
steriIizing and filling the bottles. In
reality they are filling prescriptions,
for every baby has its fooe especially
designated by skilled physician, the
prescriptions varying from week to
week according to the age and copdi-
ton of the child.
These men in their spotless white
suits and caps work in speckless
room that is sterilized with steam
every morning, preparing food after
the most scientific methods and ac-
cordingsto physicians, prescriptions,
not for infant millionaires, but for
babies of the tenements.

There's quaint little man who comes down our

And jingles bell as he goes;
He minds not the glare of summer days neat
Nor fears he the worst gale that blows.

Ringing his bell and seeking dime
Or quarter that may come his way.

He'll fix them all up-nOw watch his Wheel spin!
Patient, contented. he labors alone.
Unheeding the din of the street;
The water drops splash on his old grinding

And the sand grains spatter his feet;
The children all come and gather near by
While the old man is working his heel;
It's fun to stand by and watch the sparks fly
And list to the hum of his wheel.
