We were over to Claflin and
north Of that city on Tuesday of
this week. In Claflin the chief
topic of conversation was harvest
hands. In the country much cut
ting Of wheat was going on, ev-
eryone seeming to be very busy.
The wheat in that section of the
country has come out wonderful!
in the past thirty days. At one
time in the spring it looked as
though the crop would be short,
but except for an occasional field
that is thin and weedy, it is look
ing up IN good shape now. Corn
is also doing fine up there.

FIRST KILLED IN CIVIL WAR
THE BONES OF CHARLES TAYLOR
ARE FOUND AT BALTIMORE.
VIII Be Sent to Lowell, Mass, and
Inferred Under Monument Erect
ed to His Memory.

BALTIMORE, Md.-After a search
covering many years the resting place
OF the bones of Charles A. Taylor,
a soldier of the Sixth Massachusetts
regiment, reputed to have been the
first man killed in the civil war, has
been located definitely, and on Tues
day the remains will be sent to Bing-
hampton, N. Y, to be later taken to
Lowell and inferred beneath the
monument erected to the memory of
Iaylor and the three others who fell
with him during the riot which
marked the passage of their regiment
along Pratt street, this city, on April
~, 1861. After the riot Taylor's
BODY was completely lost track of by
his friends.
A monument having been erected
IN Lowell to his memory and that of
the others who were killed at the
time after repeated efforts were made
by Coz. Edward F. Jones, now of
Blnghamton, who was in command of
the regiment when the riot occurred,
10 ind Taylor's burial place.
Sometime ago, as a last resort, ad-
Verusements were inserted in local
papers, one of which was seen by
Samuel f. Glenn of this city, who
pointed out Taylor's grave in the old
Methodist cemetery at Fayette street
and Lone Years lane, this city. A
board at the head of the grave bears
the tlme-dimmed inscriptions:
A soldier of the Sixth Massachu-
setts Regiment killed in riot"
This inscription is considered am
pie Identification, as the bodies of
all three of the others killed at the
time have long since been identified
and finally inferred in Lowell.

RODDENBERY'S TARIFF BILL
Second District Member Anxious For
Congress to Vote on His Repeal
Measure This Session.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Congress-
man Roddenbery of Georgia, who
some time ago introduced a bill to
repeal the present Payne-Aldrich
tariff law and to reduce the duties
on the necessaries of life about sew
enty per cent, was the first member
of the house to take advantage of
the new arrangement by which bills
are forced out of the committee on
rules. Today Mr.. Roddenbery made
motion to bring up his bill. If
congress lasts the required time for
such matters, ten days, the bill will
come before the house for a vote.
If adjournment is taken before that
time then the measure will stand at
the top of the calendar when the
next session begins in December.
Mr.. ROddenbery said today that he
was determined to secure a vote on
the bill at this session if possible,
and, having been the first member to
take advantage of the new order of
things he hoped to get action on it
before final adjournment If this is
done it will have the effect of show
ing whether or not the republicans
really desire a lower tariff on the
neCessaries of life.

touched and Unframed.
While the sun was shining at
Clinton, N. j., the other day, and
there was no indication of an cleo
trical storm except a cloud far to
the west, a bolt of lightning struck
a liberty pole in front of HassIer's
Hotel, SCATTERING the shaft and scar
ing team of mules belonging to
Sllas Jones so badly that they ran
two miles, wrecking the wagon to
which they were attached.
The team was tied to a ring at
tached to the pole, which was thirty
feet high. After the animals had
been stopped it was found that the
bolt of lightning which had shat
tered the pole had also melted the
iron shoes from each of the mules.
otherwise they were uninjured.
The source of the lightning bolt
that struck the pole puzzled all the
local electrical experts and meterolo-
glsts, but DR.. Joseph w. Quacken-
bush, who made a careful investiga-
ton, found that a telephone wire run
ming from Singac passed so close to
the flag pole as to touch it.
At the time the pole was struck
a fierce thunderstorm was raging in
the vicinity of Singac, and the theory
is that lightning, striking the teIe-
phone Wire in the storm zone, trav-
eled over the cable until it encount-
cred the uninsulated liberty pole.
where the full force of the bolt was
spent.

TWO DUsKY GIRL GRADUATES.

Fashionable New Jersey School.

Mention was made few days ago
of the case of the two negro girls
who were members of the gradual

BILE school of East Orange, N. j., and
who insisted upon attending the class
dance with their dusky. escorts, de-
spite the plain limitations that hey

York papers, in referring to the Incl

and refined, which goes to show the
queer ideas of refinement some peo-
pie have In this part of the coun-
try one Of the most elementary eff
fects of refinement is a disposition to
shirk from intruding where not want

snubbed and mortified. But per-
.haps there are several kinds of ere

no USE ONLY STEEL COACHES
Old "Pennsy" Has in Use or Ordered
For Its Lines Two Thousand
Such Cars,

PHILADELPHIA Pa.-According
to an announcement made today, the
Pennsylvania Railroad System has in
service on it's lines, or on order,
nearly two thousand passenger cars
of all steel construction. These cars
have been added to the company's
passenger equipment since June,
1906, when it was announced that
all future additions to passenger
equipment on the Pennsylvania sys-
tenn would be of all steel construc-
ton.
The Pullman Company is at pres
ent constructing a sufficient number
of steel sleeping and parlor cars to
equip the entire Pennsylvania sys-
tenn. These cars are now being de-
livered at the rate of from SO to 60
month. Already there are in ser
vice on through trains rs sleepers
and five combined parlor and bag
gage cars. When the order is COM
pleted there will be in service on the
Pennsylvania system some 500 all
steel Pullman cars; this number is
included in the 1888 cars now in use
or on order.
The steel passenger cars on the
Pennsylvania system have been called
"dreadnaught' cars by reason of
their construction. They weigh some
118,500 pounds, as against $4,000
pounds in the standard vestibule
wooden coach. The increase in
weight very greatly reduces the vi
bration of the car, thereby adding to
the comfort of passengers. The car
is noncollapsible, it's principal feat
ure being a central box girder TWEEN
ty-four inches wide by nineteen
inches deep extending throughout the
entire length of the coach; this grid
err, in collision, prevents telescoping.
The car is fire proof, containing only
about 125 pounds of wood; the lat
ter is used for window frames and
arm rests in the seats.
With the 704 steel cars in use at
present, and the 1924 cars under
order, the Pennsylvania system will
shortly have available for use on it's
lines east and west of Pittsburg and
Erie a total of 1888 solid steel pas
senger equipment cars.

HARDY FERNS
Well Adapted to Places Where
 Other Plants Fail

Few people are aware of the beautiful effects produced by delft paintings of hardy ferns. Many of them are spe- cially adapted to cold, damp corners, ranging along foundation walls or under trees It is a mistaken idea that ferns will succeed in sodden or stagnant soil. Although many grow naturally in very damp or wet soil, nature always pro vides them perfect drainage, and the same care is necessary in preparing beds for them that other plants require. It is mistake to buy ferns from street ven ders, because they fail to grow after the long exposure of the roots to sun and air. Many nurseryr1en make speciality of hardy ferns. and t4.ese come to you in perfect condition. The fol- almost entire shade: Adiantum peda- tum (maidenhair fern; Aspidium acros- tichoides (wood-fern) Aspidiunl Gold lamm (shield-fern) .Asp1enium Filix- foeInina Cady.fern) Woodwardia Aug ustifolia ,chain-fern) Osrnunda Clay ebeneun ] (ebony-fern9. Asa back ground for these, where there is wall to climb, Hedera helix (Engfish ivy), is beautiful, attaching itself firmly by it's stem rootlets.
 Flowers for Shady Places
 Few plants will flower where sum shine is wholly excluded. Lily-of-the- valley will thrive with very little sun shine; and if you have corner where the sun seldom penetrates, double, hardy vio1ets will bloom profusely there The stems will be somewhat short, but brush the rank foliage apart and you will find blossoms everywhere. With two or three hours of sun, pansies are rich in color and immense i'll size. pro- vided there is a free current of air, for air they must have. Other flowers blooming successfully here are hardy phloxes, colurnbines, spiderwort, fox gloves, 1obelias and bleeding heart (di- centra spectabi1is). with day lilies, both the white and the orange. For foliage effect: Cannas, ca1adiuns and "Dusty Miller'' (centaurea) succeed. The crowning delight of the garden at night is the delicious fragrance of the nico- tiana, its white flowers g1ear1ing like stars in the moonlight. With scanty sunshine, they last well into the day, and all day in cloudy weather or in doors in vases. In flower from early July until freezing weather.

AVOID WASTE SECRET OF

By Making Good of Everything Watch the Ice Box

women at afternoon tea, what. was the vital point in catering on big scale like this. 'Watch your ice box, she said; E'that is where the waste comes. I do not have any 1eft-overs in mine. If I have articles of food left at six o'clock, I send word around and sell them to the clerks in the store I only buy enough for each days supplies, especially meats and poultry. The grocers and butchers have immense ice boxes and cold storage places, and they can keep fresh foods better than can in our big, hot kitchen. l let them keep it instead of having to look after 1t myself. Each morning l am on hand when the supplies arrive. My head cook goes through the baskets, and if a think is not absolutely fresh and per feet, the man who delivers takes 1t back Thus my dealers know that anything not fresh will come right back. do not wait until am ready to cook to see if things are fresh" I thought this very good advice, for it is easier to let dealers care for the food, and you will soon get a reputation for serving good, fresh goods if you follow this advice. If you have your own garden, orchard and poultry yard to draw upon, you will not have this problem.
 If you have occasion to supply wait resses, remember that they must be har- monious with their surroundings. Black is the chosen color for clothes, but if
