A FALL ThIMeLE PARTY.


If you are thinking OF giving a thin
bic party this fall here are some good
ideas for prize contests.
Give 10 each guest a five inch patch
OF sheer linen, each with a Jagged tear
across the middle In the corner OF the
patch stick a needle threaded with
bright red cotton. Ten minutes is given
to darn the hole, a prize being awarded
for the hole most neatly darned and the
one most bungled. AS the thread is OF
bright color 1t is not easy to make a
neat piece OF work even for e skilltul
nsedlewoman.
Another set OF gray linen patches
could be passed for "Chantecler" con-
test. Each patch should be accompa-
MED by pencil. a needle and gay cot
tons. The guests must draw one of the
"Chantecler' characters. These must
then be embroidered in the gay threads
70 resemble the special fowl repre-
scented.
Another good test is 10 sew a yard
seam with g darning needle threaded
with 100 cotton. a given time is allow
ed. which no one must exceed. and she
who gets through in the shortest time
is the winner. Only persons who have
sswed with a coarse needle and fine
thread know the handicaps Of this con-
test
Much fun Is caused by a needle
threading race. A No. II needle and
l20 cotton are used. There Is a time
limit and prizes are awarded for the
swiftest. most graceful. most awkward
and slowest needle threading.

KITCHEN HINTS.

A pamphlet recently issued by the
department OF agriculture has this to
say about the testing of eggs: The
method is known as Gambling and has
been familiar for some time, especial
ly among dealers. The room is dark
ened and the egg held between the
eye and the light. The presence OF
dark spots indicates that the egg is not
perfectly fresh. A fresh one presents
a translucent. homogeneous appear
ance. Moreover. there is found In the
larger end between the shell and the
lining membrane a small air cell. which.
OF course, is distinctly transparent. In
an egg that is not perfectly fresh this
space is filled and hence presents the
same appearance as the rest of the egg.

SAID HE WOULD RISE.
Two Religious Fanatics Lose Their
Lives in Queer Way.

Henry D. Silverfriend, prominent
in the Korshean colony in Estoro,
Lee County, Fla, is in Bristol, Tenn.
MI. Silverfriend was asked as to the
outcome Of the watch over the. tom Il
of. DR.. Teed, who had announced be-
fore his death rome year ago that, he
would rise from the tomb and be
the Messiah of the Korsheans.
He stated that DR.. Teed had not
yet risen, but that the cult feels con-
fldent that he will come forth as
their Messiah in due time. There
has been much curiosity over the
situation, he declared, and some men
have been eager to unseal the stone
vault and learn what has become of
the body of DR.. Teed, believing it
to be in a state of Transformation.
Two men approached the tomb,
Mr.. Silverfriend states, with the
purpose OF opening it. but both sud-
denly were deprived of their reason
and both died before arrangements
we're perfected to send them to an
asylum. The Bristol colony OF the
korsheans was abandoned following
the death of Dr. Teed.

STORTs WE'RE LOOTED.
Burglars Rob Two Stores in Spartan.
burg Same Night.

AT Spartanburg during Friday
night burglars entered the store of
A. ". Biber, we'll known jeweler,
and took about $500 worth of
jewelry from the establishment. En-
trance was affected by breaking the
lock on the rear door and raising up
the bar, which held 1t closed. The
same, night burglars entered Whit
tingtons S drlng store and robbed the
cash register, taking several dollars
in change, which had been left there.
There is absolutely no clue as to
who the robbers are. They covered
their tracks completely. From the
jewelry store they took number
of bracelets. lockets. watch chains
and other stuff that was not placed
in the safe over night. All OF the
other diamonds and valuables were
in the safe, which was not opened.
A reward of 5000 has been offer
ed for the capture of the guilty par
ties. The Plnkerton detective, agen-
cy is at work on the case and several
of their men are in Spartauburg at
present, it is said. News of the burg
hry did not spread rapidly. as
every possible precaution WAS taken
by the police and ,Mr. Biber to keep
the affair quiet and stand better
chance, as they thought. to capture
the criminal.

the occupants of the lonely farm
house OF ]. E.. Francis were asleep
Sunday night. a bul1::iar entered and
took $367.02 in money, nearly all
that had been earned by Mr.. Francis
as his share of a crop raised this
year. The old man was counting
his money and the thief Is supposed
to have seen it through the little
window. About S215 In checks were
found near the home Monday morn
ing, but there is no clue as to who
the robber is. The police depart
ment OF Spartanburg and other near
by cities have been notified and are

MANY TAGS SOLD
OVER s2aA,o RECEIVED FOR
THE YEAR.
Increase of Free Scholarships May be
Asked OF Next General Assembly
100000 Tons.

The sum of $224,644.95 mas been
received since the first Of the year
from,rthe sale of fertiiized tags. This
fund goes to Clemson college. The
total amount received from the tax
last year was approximately $780,
900. The total amount received to
this date last year was S1S5,396.l g..
1t is estimated that approximately
s240, 900 will be received during the
year from the tax. At the. annual
convention Of the State Farmers un.
ion there was a resolution passed
indorsing the. proposition. of increas-
ing the number Of free scholarships
at Clemson sollege. The argument
used was that the scholarships haze
not been increased, although Thel
the free tuition was first granted on
this basis only s15O,0O0 was receir
ed from the tag tax.
This means that the farmers o.
South Carolina have used nearly l.
100000 tone Of fertilizer this year,
as there is a tax OF rs cents on every
ton sold.
1t is expected that the matter OF
increasing the scholarships Mt Glenn
son will be brought up at the next
session Of the general assembly.
There may be movement started to
use part of the $250,000 for .agricul-
tural high schools to be located in
several sections OF the State.

BURNED TO DEATH
MOTHER AND CHILD MEET
DEATH TOGETHER.
Husband and Father Summoned and
Finds Wife Dying from Burns and
Child Dead.

A horrible, piteous and heart-rend-
ing scene met the eyes of Mr.. Henry
Morris, well-to-do young farmer of
the Harris Chapel neighborhood, D
miles south of Salisbury, N. c., on
Saturday morning, when he was hur-
riedly summoned from the field, a
quarter Of a mile away where he had
been drilling wheat, by negro boy
whom he had sent to the house on
an errand. When the boy went In
to Mrs. Morris room he found her
10-m onths-old baby lying in the fire
burning and its mother lying across
the bed with her clothing burning
from her body.
The boy ran to the field to noti-
ify Mr.. Morris and when they reach
ed the scene Mrs. Morris had man
aged to get up and draw her child
from the flames and pull 1t out on
the floor and had again fallen across
the bed, presumably in an effort to
smother the flames which enveloped
her. Every piece Of clothing had
been burned from her body and she
was unconscious, in which condition
she remained until her death at four
o'clock that afternoon.
The child was dead when found,
its head being badly burned. one arm
burned off at the shoulder and the
other at the elbow. and the body
badly burned. Had not the affair
been discovered as soon as 1t was
the house would have been burned,
also. Mrs. Morris had been subject
to fainting spells from childhood
and it Is thought she had one Of
these attacks while sitting In front
of the fireplace with her only child
in her arms.
She was about 32 years old and
had been married several years.
Their oldest child died less than g
year ago. There was every evidence
that the suffering woman alone, and
in her terrible and dying condition,
made heroic efforts to rescue her
child, as soon as she regained her
self sufficiently to realize what had
happened. The double funeral OF
mother and babe was held at Harris
chapel on the following day. :
