other fight last week between white
-men. This is only keeping up the
record. IN average Of at least one
fight week has been maintained
since June l5. The number has
gone is high as three day, but the
above is about the average. Actual
count might place higher figure
certainly not a lower. Whiskey has
been the leading factor in two-thirds
of these bouts, while pure cussed-
ness caused almost all the others.
We are glad to say that in nearly
every instance the man at fault got
the licking" 1t goes without say
ing tn. these slugging matches are
to be regretted. They create the
impression that we are a violent and
brutal peo le, and it is idle nonsense
to shut our ears to the fact that this
town has an unenviable reputation
for violence, which is hurtful to he
community.
Henry E Davis, Esq, of Florence
spent a short while here on Friday
last.
Now and then strange things hap
pen. One day last week a negro
boy actually went to house in town
and asked for a job. And he was
in earnest, too. Asking negro in
this town to work seems to be re-
garded almost in the nature of an
insult, and to have one solicit work
has been unheard of many day.
There are no empty stores in this
town. On the contrary the demand
cannot be supplied. So insistent is
the demand for quarters that an en-
beef market has recently been
cleaned up and converted into mil
linery store.
FL Wilcox, Esq. of Florence was
noted in town one day last week.
Messrs D NJ and H V Epps went

Pat, who had been building side
Walks, went to Florence a few days
ago. He was furnished with so
many orders for pints and quarts to
bring back, and the money with
which to pay for the pints and
quarts, that he concluded that he
did not need to build any more side
walks right away. So he did not
come back, and neither the pints
and quarts nor the money have az
peared yet. The boys who met the
Orangeburg train the evening Pat
was expected back went away in
most angelic frames Of mind. Pock-
cts empty and stomachs, too.

HIS TWO BAD DAYS.
Lord Byron Had a Positive Dread Of
FRIDAYS and SUNDAYS.

Lord Byron Had a Positive Dread Of
Fridays and Sundays.
The belief in palmists and sooth-
sayers is not, as is sometimes sup
posed, confined to the ignorant and the
%credulous. Lord Byron was not q
skeptic in these matters. Just before
his death. as recorded in "Byron-The
Last Phase" by Richard Edgecumbe,
he said he had reflected a great deal
IN q prediction which had been made
to him when a boy by q famed fortune
teller in Scotland. His mother, who
firmly believed in chiromancy and as
trology, had sent for this person and
desired him to inform her what would
be the future destiny of her son. Hay
ing examined attentiyely the palm of
his hand, the man looked at him for
awhile steadfastIy and then with a
solemn voice exclaimed, Beware of
your thlrty-seventh year, my young
lord. bewarep He had entered on his
thirty-seyenth year on Jan. %, and 1t
was evident from the emotion with
which he related this circumstance
that the caution of the palmist had
produced a deep impression on his
mind. which In many respects was so
Superstitious that we thought 1t prop
cr to ccuse him of superstition. TO
say the truth answered his lordship,
L find it equally difficult to know what
not to believe. y You will, !
know. ridlcule my belief in lucky and
unlucky days, but no consideration can
now induce me to undertake anything
either on a Friday or a Sunday. l am
positive it would terminate unfortu-
nately. Every one of my mlsfortunes-
and God knows / have had my share
has happened to be on II of those
days. London Gentlewoman.

College Etiquette.

A college girl must. Of course, first of
all develop her mind as far as possible,
but this does not mean that she must
or may forget the rules of etiquette
laid down for all well bred girls,
whether at home, at college, In busi-
ness or in the social world.
She must talk in low tones. She must
be courteous to all around her, respect
full to those who are older and consid-
crate Of those who are beneath her So
cially. She must learn to converse In
an interesting manner without assert
ing her w opinions or trying In any
way to show a superior knowledge,
even upon subjects which she has
made her special study.
She must learn to act the part Of
the graceful, courteous and interesting
hostess and also the charming and
we'll read guest. At all times she<nust
be the well bred, dlgnifed, courteous
as we'll as interesting and clever col
lege girl.
In the social world there is a tacit
understanding that we shall all be
agreeable to one another, always put
ting the attractive things Of life on
the outside and keeping our private
woes to ourselves.
This Is a rule that none can afford to
o~verlook-old or young, society girl,

MAKING NEEDLES.
Various Processes Through Which the
Steel Wire Must Pass.

Various Processes Through Which the
Steel Wire Must Pass.
Needles are made from steel wire.
which is first cut by shears from coils
into the length Of the needles to be
made. After a bath of such bits as
have been cut out they are placed in a
furnace, then rolled until perfectly
straight. Next the needle pointer
takes up a dozen or so of the wires
and rolls them between his thumb and
finger, with their ends on a turning
grindstone, first one and then the 9th
er being ground. The little steel bob
bins are next fed into a machine Which
fattens and cutters the heads, after
which the eyes are punched.
They are now complete needles, but
rough and easily bent. Careful heat
ing and sudden cooling gives them the
necessary temper, and nothing remains
but to give them their final polish. On
a coarse cloth needles are spread to
the number of 10000 oil $4,000. Emery
dust is strewed over them, oil Is sprin-
kled ON and soft soap daubed over the
cloth, which, rolled tightly Is thrown
into a pot with others. where it rolls
about for twelve hours or more.
When taken from this friction bath
the needles require only rinsing in
clean hot water, when they are ready
to- be sorted and packed. Chicago

They Really Had Their Origin In tho
First French Revolution.
The restaurant Of the present time
had It's origin in the first French
luton, toward-the close of the eight
eenth century. And the reputation of
the French for good cookery and the
delicacy of taste in eating as we'll as
in producing toothsome dishes and
morsels dates practically from the
same time.
That revolution meant ruin to many
noble families, and their downfall
meant ruin also for their chefs, so
some of the latter hit upon the idea
of opening houses where dainties pre-
pared by their skilled hands could be
obtained. II the experiment succeed
ed the chefs would be as well off as
when in service. The idea was pleas
ing to the public, the restaurants did
a large business, and the proprietors
had no reason to regret the revolution
from d monetary point of view.
Then 1t occurred to others that the
people mlgnt appTeclate peinS euucat-
ed up to this fine cookery, and many
books on the culinary art were pub
lished and sold well. One of the most
noted of these was 'The Gourman AL

Mrs. A is suspected of never having

The whole effect is higgledy piggledy,
simply because bookcases are always
made too deep for the Socks they con-
tain. They are made deep enough for
the maximum dictionary, which should
never go on a shelf anyway and the
minimum choice little gems and even
the average novels have several inches
of shelf room to spare.
A bookcase made just wide enough
for the books would look crampsd and
too heavy, SO a way should be found
to straighten up the lines of books and
keep them we'll to the front, where e

A book goes in until it reaches a
