Collectors of historical objects have
been interested in the pipe smoked by
Sir Walter Raleigh just before he was
put to death. 1t was exhibited at the
London Guildhall about 48 years ago
and was accompanied by parchment
roll which attested 1t genuineness. 1t
has been offered for sale by the pres
ent owner, Horace G. Blundell, Of
Chiswick
The pipe, which is of the long
stemmed variety is made from
branches. The two bowls, which
show examples of good carving, are
interchangeable. 1t is still as service
able as it was in the days when Si'
Walters gallantry failed to keep him
from the headsman's block.
Bishop Andrews, otherwise dean of
Westminster, who administered the
last sacrament to Sir Walter on the
scaffold, was presented with this pipe
by the condemned man just before his
DEATH" explained Mr. Blundell. From
this churchman it passed into the
hands of the Carews of Beddington,
Surrey. From the latter family it was
obtained by the Gloves of Croydon,
and then passed to the family of Bry-

are always white, or light in color,
and THIS is because the light by which
they are seen is reflected from the un-
der surface by the numberless drops
of moisture which go to form the
cloud.
Heavy rain clouds, on the other
hand, are found much nearer the earth,
and so the light falls on them more al.
rectly from above, giving silver lin
ing to the cloud, though the under
surface appears black, owing to the
complete reflection and absorption of
the light by the upper layers.

HUNTERS LUCK IN BUNCHES

Talk about a larder full of meat
The other day George Johnson of
Lloyd, Pa, butchered pig that
dressed $50 pounds and made it into
ham and sausage. That afternoon he
thought he would take a stroll over
the wilds, and had been gone but an
hour when splendid buck ran across
his path and single shot dropped it.
1t was fifteen-point animal and
weighed 295 pounds. Mr. Johnson had
promised to go raccoon hunting that
night, and though he concluded that
he had all the fresh meat that he and
his family would want for some time.

along for good luck. That night he
shot three fat coons, while the two
other men got two apiece.

SMUGGLERS' INGENIOUS TRICK

A curious accident led to the dis.

smugglers' trick on board French

cargo in Genoa harbor. A custom
house officer had just inspected the
goods, among which were number
of barrels of potatoes, and was about
to hand the captain his papers when
one of the barrels burst and the po-
tatoes rolled over the deck. The deck

AFRICA'S NATURAL CISTERNS

In central Africa the gigantic bao-
bab tree whose trunk sometimes at
tains a diameter of forty feet, often
serves as a natural cistern retaining
rain water in large quantities in
cavity formed at the top of the broad
trunk Taking the hint thus afforded
by nature the Arabs artificially hollow
out the trunks of large baobabs and
fill them with water during the pre-

These cisterns are in many cases 20
feet in height and or 10 feet IN
diameter. The water is used botA for

The September term of the court OF
general sessions for Lexington county
will convene on next Monday, Sep.
trmber IS, with the Hon. r. Withers
Memmenger, of Charleston, presiding.
Clerk OF the Court Frank w. Shealy
has everything in readiness for the
opening.
There are number of cases on the
docket to be disposed OF during the
term. The case Of most impor Cance,
perhaps, is that of the State against
j. A. BIackwelder. charged with vio-
lating the State banking laws while
president of the Bank of Chaplin. The
case has been postponed for two or
three times on InoJiOn Of the defence;
but it is most certain to be tried next
week.
Another case that will attract a
great deal Of attention on account of
the prominence of The parties, is that
charged with assault and battery with
intent to kill. The prosecutor in the
case is Mr.. Clarence Rucker, the
large cotton planter of the Swansea
section, who, it is alleged, lost a leg
by bullet from Reeder's Winchester.
Eminent counsel will appear in this
case, Solicitor Zimmerman being as
sisted in the prosecution by Col. +. 81.
Nelson, the well known and distin-
guished criminal lawyer of Colum bia.
The defendant will be represented by
Messrs. Efrd &, Dreher and w. H.
Sharpe.
Will Carter, negro, charged with
criminally assaulting the little daugh-
te, of a prominent white farmer of
the Swansea section, will be tried.
Carter has been confined in the State
penitentiary for sate-keeping since the
commission Of the crime some months
ago. e..
The case against Mr.. w. Westmore-
land, the well known and popular
merchant and planter of Samaria,
VINO Is charged with adultery, will
most likely be called for trial. Mr..
Westmoreland was tried aud convict
ed on this same charge several years
ago. Mr.. Westmoreland stands high
in che community where he is known,
and it is stated that jealousy has lad
agreat deal 10 do with the second in.
dictment, Mr.. Westmoreland being
hafd-working, prosperous citizen.
The prosecu or is q resident of Aiken

bian charged with bigamy, will be
given an opportunity to prove his in
nocence.
"Pinky'' Culpepper, negress. will :
be tried for the murder of her hus-
band at Cayce during the first part Of
this year.
A negro man by the name If Rowe
will be tried for killing another negro
on the plantation of Mr.. R. G.. Able,
near Steedman, several months ago,
will be tried for h,s life.
There are number Of other cases
Of more or less importance-some for
violation of the prohibition law and
others for assault and battery-and
the first week will be busy one.
On the civil side the dockets are
heavy, but it cannot be stated just at
this time what cases will be calle d for
trial.

More About the Past.
By.B. s.

The question in the recent con-
troversy seems to be: would it be
best for us to forget the past?" Of
course, we all know that it is impos-
sible to forget the past as long as we
retain ur mental powers. But
would you, if you could?
The question has been ably de-
bated, in our local paper, by writers
who have forgotten more than / ever
knew but, as there seems to be a
great difference Of opinion, probably
the optimistic views Of the unsophis-
ticated will be acceptable.
From childhood up we have ex-
perimented with the problems Of
life, and experience has taught US
that our best happiness lies in being
and doing good. AS long as we re-
member this lesson and follow it out
to the letter, we need have no fears
as to our future happiness. We be-

The Care Of the Teeth

Were the knowledge Of the prop
er care of the teeth more diffused
and generally understood much pain
and consequent suffering would be
prevented. The first thought that
arises to those who are given to by
gienic precautions is cleanliness.
Therefore it naturally follows that
our mouths must be clean. The i'm
portaDce Of keeping our mouths free
from the accumulation of food rem
nants and masses of tartar cannot be
too strongly impressed upon those
who are anxious for health. When
particles Of food are permitted to aS-
cumulate upon and between the
teeth fermentation takes place and
decay is the result. Furthermore,
putrefaction may ensue a nd tn e
mouth becomes the very center Of
disease and infection. If the mouth
could be kept perfectly clean and
free from dirt the teeth would never
decay. AS this is impossible for us,
however, the only thing to do is to
see that all particles of food are re-
moved and that our teeth are cleaned
as completely as practicable after
each meal.
Tartar is deposit of animal and
mineral matter precipitated from the
fluids of the mouth upon the teeth.
Sometimes it accumulates in such
large quantities as to completely en-
crust them.
If one would preserve the teeth
and avoid disease one must keep
them free from decaying, food and
tartar. To do this requires unre-
hitting attention and cannot be ac-
complished by simply polishing the
exposed surfaces. Once the teeth
are allowed to become encrusted
with tartar it means that professional
service is necessary for under these
conditions no one can thoroughly
cleanse their teeth, because one can
neither see the accumulation OF tar
tar nor has one the proper instru-
ments for its removal. Under these
conditions it is only proper that q
visit should be paid to the dentist.
