three. four and evenfive hundred feet, with
chambers for the reception OF collins
temples to worship in and smaller apart

favorite servants.
Probably the most sacred of burial
places is the valley of Jehoshaphat. and
the slopes of the Mount OF Olives facing
Jerusalem The entire mountainside is
covered with cenotaphs and head stones.
which usually bear elaborate inscriptions.
1t has been we'll said that when the

ever gathered together since the hosts
of Israel under Joshua, crossed the Jor-
dan.
1t is the hottest desire of every pious
Jew to lay his ashes in that sacred soil.
The ground has been sold over and over
again, and the population of the city
of the dead has been renewed quite as
often as the city of the living. However.
there is always six feet of earth for
every Jew that comes, and not only
Jews. but Jebusites, Syrians. Mace

tians. Saracens. Greeks, Frenchmen.

tiyes of every family of the human race

unnumbered armies. whose ashes have
been allowed to rest until their beds were
wanted for another generation
The Valley of Jehoshaphat.
In the valley of Jehoshaphat, which has
often been used as symbol of the VAL
ley of the Shadow of Death. are several
conspicuous tombs and monuments said
to be those of Absalom. st. James the
Apostle. Jehoshaph Zacharian and other
prophets. warriors and saints.
The tombs of Abraham near Hebron,
that of Jacob near Bethlehem. are both
definitely identified and are probably the
oldest burial places in the world. We
know that Abraham purchased the cave
of Macpelah as a family sepulchre. We
even know how much he paid for 1t and
who were buried there. and 1t remains
today precisely as it is described in the
Bible. The tomb of King David is on
Mount Zion in Jerusalem. and the tomb
of Noah is at the village Of Kerak-Nuh.

Splendor of Moguls' Tombs.
The tombs of the moguls in India have

them are set with jewels. The diamond

Looking Through Rogues' Gallery.

The two stewards assigned to that
section of the Amerika where the Drum

rogueS' gallery at police headquarters
yesterday. but were unable to recognize
any picture as that of a person who had

The Hamburg American line has issued
orders that the Amerika be guarded
closely and that no one be permitted to
board her or talk with members of the
crew unless under special permission
from the company's officials.
The Americas passenger list on the

Dandruff now-bald later. The same

HUNTERSVILLE SCHOOL CLOSES.
A Big Picnic and Several Interesting
Addresses by Prominent Men.

~
The closing exercises of the Hun
tersville school were held last Satur-
day on the school grounds. The oc-
casion was celebrated with a picnic
and by addresses by prominent men
of the county. Mr.. John F. Bolt,
Clerk of Court. and w. G.. Irby, ESQ.
representative in the House of Repre-
sentatives. We're present and made
forceful addresses along educational
lines. Mr.. John f. Bolt in speaking
of the picnic, said that he had not at
tended such an enjoyable affair in q
long time and that the people there
were preparing for big crop this
year. He also said that the school
trustees were trying to get up a high
school for Huntersvile and to build a
new building. In all probability the
movement will be successful.
Following the addresses IA bountiful
picnic dinner was spread out. Fol.
lowing the dinner the large crowd
amused themselves in different ways.

PRIZES FOR IDEAS.
People of South Carolina to Send Out
Post Cards on the Glorious Fourth.
Prizes Offered for Specimens.

AT the last meeting of the CONNER
cial Secretaries of South Carolina, it
was decided to ask the people of South
Carolina to celebrate the Fourth of
July in a safe and sane way, and in
stead of shooting fire works at the
quaintances and prospective settlers
all over the world.
To make this state wide movement
and to attract attention, it was decid-
ed to offer $500 in prizes for post
cards ideas. $500 for the best de-
sign, or the card from which the most
suggestions are selected. and an addi-
tional $1.00 for each suggestion ac-
cepted up to ten suggestions.
This competition is open TO all the
people of South Carolina. Sugges-
tions as to the cards:
/. 1t must be regular post card

reasons why the farmer. or manufac-
turer, or merchant or professional
man should come to South Carolina.

BREEDING STOCK.

=
We all know that in every litter of
pigs. if that litter contains an average
number or more that at least one of
these pigs Will almost surely be OF
small size and very likely of poor
qualities. 1t is very evident that such
a pig should not be used as a breeder.
but why not go much farther than this
and select only the very best to be the
mothers of furture generations of all
domestic animals. and this selection
should not only include questions OF
size but others as follows:
First, poor feeders and producers.
How many farmers know just how
much milk or butter their COWS give
each year? They may possibly be able
10 give fair guess as to the amount
OF milk, but almost never do they know
anything about the amount of butter
they are capable of making, unless
they have but one COW and therefore
churn the cream from that individual
alone.
A COW capable of making only 15G
pounds of butter each year is of no
value in dairy. for the butter could
be bought for the value of her feed
but ii that same COW could make 300
pounds of butter. she would then be
valuable animal both as butter
producer and as breeder.
Again. we want to be careful to
keep only the good breeders. We all
know that many of the animals we
possess are shy breeders, as seen by
the small lit.ers of pigs, or the small
number of lambs in flock, etc.
If we keep the small pigs from such
litters or lambs from such hocks, we
shall increase this difficulty for all
future generations are likely to have
this fault to a still greater degree. In
like manner, let us use males that are
in full vigor, not the very young or
old, for while their young may be good
and profitable animals, yet we should
thereby reduce the chances of getting
the most desirable.
Yet another item to keep in mind is
to use as breeders the normal animals.
those that have no pecuiiarities that
should not be expected in that breed,
for even If they are not Objectionable
In themselves, they show a tendency
toward abnormal dvelopment and in
future generations wo cbouId avnoo,
other qualities might appear and the
breeding become very unreliable.
TO sum up, select for breeding the
animals that are normal of the breed
neither too large nor too small and
will the qualities of that particular
breed strongly developed Animals
that are old enough but not too old to
be in fun vigor. Those that have
proven their powers to produce well
as the COW in giving milk or butter
the hog in producing pork, the sheep
for wool and mutton.
Good feeders. If they cannot con
sumo and digest large amount of
food we cannot get large return in
products. hence such must not be chos-
en- Discard any with undesirable quail
tiles, of whatever nature Some uni
formity of color is desirable, not be-
cause it is essential, but it is easy to
attain. and herds and nocks that are
similar in this respect are pleasure
to the breeder.
