DOG GETS WHITE BURIAL.
White Satin, White Hearse and White
Horses at Settlers Funeral.

An Irish setter dog was buried here
yesterday in casket of white bro
cade satin, and the hearse which car
ried it to the railroad station was also
white and was drawn by white
horses The dog was owned by Mr..
and Mrs. Robert Cronin, childless
couple of 255 Virginia street, and was
destroyed the day before at a veteri-
nary hospital.
The dog had been brought up care
fully from puppyhood by Mrs. Cronin
and had for years been shown every
attention that pampered child could
wish. At the death of the dog an ex-
pensive coffin suitable for a child of
12 was ordered and the embalmed
dog was placed in it with it's head
resting on satin pillow trimmed
with lace. It's collar was decorated
with pink ribbon and the casket bore
silver handles.
The animal was buried on farm
outside the city under a wild Cherry
tree in grave lined with evergreens.
The coffin was covered with roses and
carnations. The granite shaft that
is to be placed over the dog will bear
these lines: "That loving heart,
that patient soul, had they indeed no
longer span to run their course, to
reach their goal, to read their homily
to man."
The dog during life slept on a
feather bed and drank two bottles of
ale every night.-New York Sun.

American Cotton Goods in China.

Receipts of piece goods into Shan
ghai and Tientsin show marked in
crease of late. The source of this
information is the Shanghai Office of
the International banking corpora
ton, the statement being as follows:
American piece goods have recent
ly been ordered for Shanghai to the
value of 100000 pounds (s4S6,650,)
which brings the total since last De-
cember to 250,000 pounds (s1, ,216,-
$3.50 Shipments were made from
Manchester during January and Feb
ruary to Shanghai and Tientsin to the
value of 100000 pounds (s10,-
706,300,) against 100000 pounds
(s6,S13,100) for the same period
last year. In March the average OF
shipments from Manchester was
more than maintained and more than
doubled the March, 1910, figures,
and we can only hope the consuming
capacity of our market has not been
overestimated. The offtake during
the three months has increased by
121k per cent. and sales by public
auction (Which are 81 per cent. of
the total offtake) are higher by AZ
per cent. than in the first quarter of
1910.

ANGRY. GAVE AUTO TO BOY.
Youngster Helped Owner Out of
Ditch Into Which 1t Plunged.

Cecil Hancock, a 12-year-old Jas
per county Qnd.) boy, was presented
a motor car by an exasperated New
Yorker, who while motoring to Chi
cago, met with an accident near the
farm owned by William Hancock, the
boys father. The tourist refused tc
give his name, but the auto license
bore the number "S605-New York. .
While descending a hill near the
farm the New Yorker lost control OF
his machine and it plunged into a
ditch. Young Hancock helped the
occupant out of the wreck and its
owner made the air blue with lurid
remarks about the blankety-blank
machine.
'Ill give the car away for anything
to get rid of it," he said.
"Give it to me- suggested the boy.
'"Take it and welcome"
He then hired the boy to drive him
to the nearest railroad station, where
he boarded a train for Chicago.
According to the new registration
numbers George E. Shaw, of Three
Mile Bay, owned car No. S605.-New

Tragedies in Gallinger Family.

Tragedy sits close to the family of
Senator Jacob H. 'Ga1linger, an d the
death of his favorite son, DR.. Ralph
E. Gallinger, in an auto wreck at
Pembroke night before last was only
the most recent Of series Of fatali-
ties in the Gallinger family. They
began 20 years ago, when the sena-
tor went to visit his daughter, who
was recovering from mild illness,
and found her dead. Five years ago,
as she was entering Washington
theatre, Mrs: Gallinger fell in a sud-
den faint and died in a few moments.
Two years ago another son dropped
dead without a moments warning.
A year ago his son Ralph, who was
killed Wednesday, was attacked by
an insane patient at the New Hamp-
shire State prison and the arteries
in his arm were severed by a stroke
from a butcher knife. It was feared
that the victim would be crippled for
life, but he recovered. The heart
broken old father, as he left Wash
ington yesterday for New Hampshire,
remarked, 81 can't come back again
this session. ."-Holyoke Transcript.

Suspend Work.

Greenville, July 20.-The execu-
tive officers of the Greenville, An
derson & Spartanburg interurban
electric road, in session here this
afternoon, adopted resolutions which
in effect suspend at once all work on
the construction of the line between
Greenville and Spartanburg until a
subsequent meeting of the board to
be held at the call of the president.
The resolutions set out that the
company has experienced great diff
ficulty in securing rights Of way be-
tween the two cities, that suitable
terminal sites in Spartanburg are held
at prohibitive prices and that the
Spartanburg city council failed to
grant a franchise. In view of these
circumstances it was resolved that it
is deemed unwise to enter the city in
face of the opposition of municipal
authorities and citizens.
The board, however, instructed
it's representative to continue the
work of securing options in Spar
tanburg, but under no circumstances
to make a purchase unless further
advised by the board.

Wedding Code of a Divorce.

An early wise and disillusioned
Boston divorcee has recognized the
duty incumbent upon her to give her
feminine friends less experienced in
the ways that lead to the divorce court,
some rules to be observed before en-
tering upon matrimony. AS good
dinner is great promoter of recep-
tiveness and a great aid in digesting
certain kinds of wisdom, these words
of counsel were preceded by that
pleasant function:
Pick out your own husband.
Don't let your mothers advice
force you to marry.
Marry the man you love provided
he has good disposition.
Don't marry until you are out OF
your teens.
If after marrying you find you are
ill-mated, by all means get divorce.
So young and so wise! it is not
often that at the mature age of 22
a divorcee can thus lay down a code
of rules on marriage for the guidance
of her sex. Mere man has often
tried it and as often failed and been
led to conclude with Shakespeare
that marriage comes by destiny"
In modern times, however, the marri-
age arrangements of destiny are sub
ject to .review in the divorce court,
and we fear that no code of rules,
however skilfully devised, will pre-
vent at least an occasional resort to
that refuge of disillusionment.-N.

Enjoyable House Party:

Cameron, July 1S.-The beautiful
country home of Mrs. Will Taylor
has been the scene of a gay house
party this week. The royal hospi-
tality Of Mrs. Taylor is known
throughout the Orangeburg section,
and fortunate indeed are those who
are included as her friends. Among
the social events planned in honor
of the guests was reception at the
home of Mrs. E. r. Dunning on Mon
day afternoon from 5 to Z and a
lawn party at the home of Mrs. Tay-

BaZin Pardoned.

Florence, July 20.-The announce
ment that the governor had pardon
ed R. L.. Bazin, was received here
yesterday, but it was no surprise.
Bazin was found guilty at a recent
term of court of manslaughter in
causing the death of L. E. Poston at
a school festival in the section of the
county, in which both live. The
friends of Bazin and his attorneys
insist that the conviction was unjust
to Bazin, and was due to the charge
of the trial Judge to the jury as to
the law and facts, and that there
was evidence that might, if it had
been brought out, been the means OF
acquitting Bazin. A lengthy petition
was prepared by the attorneys, and
among the signatures were a number
of the county officials and the sena-
tor and other prominent citizers.
Hearing of this petition, the fami-
ly of Poston got up counter petit
ton, insisting that it would be de-
feating the cause of justice for Bazin
to be pardoned. This petition was
very lengthy one, and is said to have
had the majority Of the people in
that section. The solicitor was re-
quested to take the paper to the gov
ernor when the other was sent up
and argue against the pardon.
Solicitor Wells telegraphed the
governor these facts and asked that
no action be taken in the matter un-
til the counter petition with the argu-
ment of the solicitor, could be heard.
The following telegram was received
by Mr.. Wells in reply:
columbia S. G. July 18.
tt.Hon. w. H. Wells Florence, S. G.
"Your wire. Mr.. Ragsdale here.
Will wait your arrival if you desire
to come. Am frank to say, however,
that pardon will be granted.

Sunfiower Philosophy.

It is said that no one on earth can
save money as fast as an old maid
after she has become convinced that
men are not worth having. &.
Admiration for the style OF hats
the women bought for Easter Will
have to be acquirde, like taste for
olives.
When one says, "This is the most
terrible town in the world for gos-
SIP" put it down that that person
has been up to something to excite
gossip.
People in big towns are so selfish.
We would rather live in little town,
where the people symapthize with
you when in trouble, and where, II
you have no trouble, they will look
up some for you. :
We wouldn't like to be an express
agent; we never go by an express Of
flee that we do not hear pup cry
ing. Pups are common enough at
home, everywhere. Why are they
shipped over the country?
When a man is left with lot of
motherless children on his hands he
usually scatters them among his rela-
tives. If it is the woman who is left
with fatherless little ones she keeps
them together and earns living be-
sides. Women develop great energy,
when left without man. In fact,
all the widows we know are getting
along a great deal better than the
married women.-Atchison, Kan,

The Night Mary Garden Became
Famous.

In the August Woman's Home
Companion IS the second article in
a series on the girlhood of great
prima donnas. The current article
is on Mary Garden, the great singer,
who was born in Scotland, brought
up in Chicago, and, only few short
years ago, came into fame. Follow
ing is an account Of her debut in
Paris:
"A sudden, unforeseen opportunity
came early. With her characteristic
self-reliance she took it without
qualm or hesitancy.
''The prima donna singing Louise
at the Opera Comique fell i'll during
the first act, and, after struggling
through the second, was carried away
to a hospital on the fall Of the cur
tain. Carre was busy meanwhile,
for the opera must be completed. Re-
membering that Miss Garden had
mentioned that part as in her reper-
toire, he hurriedly sent for her.
Would she attempt it?' She would
try 1t meant a chance; it was
great risk, which, had she hesitated,
she might not have taken.
"The stage she had never trodden;
the complicated action with other
characters, singing with the massive
tone of an orchestra, were things un-
known to her: she knew only
Louise's music.
From the moment in which she
said, I will try until the curtain
rose, there was no time for any
thought but of the actual moment.
She was dressed and on the stage;
the curtain was up, the orchestra
playing. She did not notice the sur
prised buzz of voices as she began to
sing; she was not nervous, there was
room for only one thought, she must
be Louise, to do that she could no
longer be Mary. Garden. Her whole
being was absorbed; it was not a
dream, but tense reality, in which
every move, every gesture, must
count in her action, every breath in
her singing. The three remaining
acts followed in growing Intensity,
her grip on the moment never relax
ing.
"When it was over, she had
proved all that she had worked for,
all she had learned, all of which she
was capable-her future had hung
upon it. The curtain had fallen on
the most unusual of debuts, one that
brought her over two hundred con-
secutive appearances in Louise On
that momentous night she had step
ped from girlhood into womanhood.

MIR. ROBT. RAY DEAD
Prominent Citizen of Barnweu Coun-
ty Dies After Many Months Illness.

Mr.. J. Robt. Ray, one of the most
prominent planters of the Olar Sec
ton of Barnwell county, died at his
home on Sunday afternoon at 4:30
p. M. after several weeks severe ILL
ness. Mr.. Ray had been in i'll health
for many months, but up until few
weeks ago he was not considered in
critical condition. He was buried
on Monday morning at II o'clock at
Friendship church.
Mr.. Ray is survived by his wife,
four sons, Arthur of Wilmington, N.
c., George, Leo and John of Olar,
and four daughters, Mrs. Maner Nor
ris, Ina, Anstie and Mazda, all of this
county.
The deceased was one of Barnwell
county's best men, modest and un-
assuming, yet man of sterling quail
ties and noblest virtues. He was an
affectionate husband, devoted
father and true friend. He will
be sorely missed not only by his low
ed ones, but by all who had the good
fortune to know him.-Barnwell
Sentinel.

BATTLES WITH LOCUSTS.
In 1870 an Army Was Arrayed
Against the Ravaging Pests.

Since the days of the Pharos the
locut has been an unmitigated
plague. Pliny relates that in many
places in Greece a law obliged the
inhabitants to wage war against the
insects three times a year.. e., in
their various states of egge, larvae
and adult.
In 1749 locusts stopped the army
of Charles XII, king of Sweden, as
it was retreating from Bessarabia af-
ter it's defeat at Poltava. The king
at first imagined that he was being
assailed by a. terrific hail storm.
In Pennsylvania in 1880 the raw
ages of the locusts assumed such dis
astrous proportions that the army
had actually to be called out to deal
with the pests and the whole regi-
.ment of soldiers were employed gath
ering them up and putting them into
sacks.
A weird, unclanny looking Gus
toner is the locust. The general COL
or scheme of his body Is kind of an
indefinite green, relieved by pink
legs and wings of whitish color.
Two huge, blank, unmeaning eyes
give an expression of utter imbecil-
ity to the INSECTS countenance.
To atone in measure for their
destructive proclivities the locusts
are edible. The Arabs are particu-
larly fond of them. Camels, to which
they are fed after being dried and
roasted between two layers of ashes,
look upon locusts as great deli
cacy.
The flavor resembles that of crabs,
and in Bagdad they are consumed so
extensively as to affect the price of
meat.-Stray Stories.

Against Control of Corporations.

New York, July 20.-In an
academic discussion of governmental
relations to corporations this after
noon, John E. Parsons, former presi-
dent of the American Bar association,
and former counsel for the American
Sugar Refining company, declared to
the congressional committee investi-
eating the ''sugar trust" that the
proposition of E. H. Gary, chairman
of the United States Steel corpora
ton, for government control of bust
ness combinations, was socialistic.
He added that in his opinion congress
should place no restrictions whatever
on trade.
Government should permit COM
merce to take it's course" he said.
"a great corporation cannot be or
ganized merely on the valuation in
dollars and cents of it's physical prop
erties-the men behind it must be
capitalized. They are worth some
thing to the investor. The capitali-
zation must be on the physical prop
critics, the prospects of the business
and the, men who are to manage it.
That is not water.
eff congress should pass law con-
forming to Justice Harian's dissent
ing opinion in the Standard Oil and
Tobacco trust cases it would cause
the country's greatest disaster. IT
Justice Harlan's opinion stood as the
ruling opinion of the court our jails
would be filled to overfowing with
stockholders and officers of corpora
tions. No two businesses could COM
bine to increase their trade"
Mr.. Parsons was positive that
there should be no government con-
troll of corporations, that they should
be permitted free hand and the ul-
innate consumer would profit by his
plan.
In discussing the agreement be-
tween the American Refining COM
pany and the American Beet Sugar
company relative to the agreement
for the control of sales, which was
declared illegal, Mr.. Parsons refused
to admit that it bound the refining
company not to market it's cane pro-
duce during the few months of the
beet sugar company's season or vice
versa. Nor would he say that the
clause in the agreement prohibiting
the beet sugar company from selling
in New England was in restraint of
trade.
