Mr. Maxcy A Thomas Dead.

This estimable gentleman passed
away at his home near Lake City
last Thursday afternoon. He had
been in declining health for several
months and his death at this time
was not a surprise to those acquaint-
ed with his feeble condition. Mr.
Thomas was born and reared in
Williamsburg county and only be-
came citizen of Florence county
by reason of the annexation several
years ago of that section of his na-
tive county in which his home and
estate were situated.
For thirty-five years he, was sur
veyor. and in the pursuit of his
duties as such, underwent many
hardships and frequently severe ex-
posure. His life was one of unceas-
ing activity until his health gave
way and he was obliged to give up.
In late years he attended only to his
farm duties.
Mr. Thomas was noted for his
honesty and uprightness of charac-
ter. He was a consistent member
of the Lake City Baptist church, and
superintendent of the Sunday-school
up to the time of his death. He
was sixty-two years of age and is
survived by his wife and four chill
dren, namely, Mrs B H Willis of
Cottageville; Mrs D H Oliver. CaGes;
Miss Lena and Mr. Boyde M Thomas
of Lake City.
The deceased was laid to rest in
the Baptist church cemetery at Lake
City Friday afternoon in the pres
ence of a large gathering of friends.

The Weather House.

A very ingenious contriVance for
foretelling the weather is the old
fashioned weather house, "slargely
made in Switzerland. 1t is arrang-
ed in such way that two figures
act in response to the twisting of a
piece of catgut. The material, sup
ported by wire, controls the move
ments of little platform on either
end of which is placed model.
Excessive moisture in the air causes
the catgut to twist and turn the
platform round, so that the man
emerges from one of the doors IN
the front of the house. Reverse
conditions of the atmosphere bring
about the contraction of the cat
gut, and the platform swings back,
thus bringing the figure Of the wo-
man into prominence at her par
ticular door. The making of a
weather house is quite an easy mat
fer.

START A BANK ACCOUNT.
Then Your Money Won't Be Burning .
Hole In Your Pocket.

GA bank is built to keep money
in-and your pockets are so ar
ranged that you spend it" To this
effect spoke farmer who was be-
ing interviewed by writer for
banking magazine. Before the farm
er made his discovery that it's easier
to spend money out of your pockets
than money in a bank account, ne
followed this plan Qet him tell iD:
81 made money. A lot of it !
carried around with me and the rest
| left at home. Somehow or other
l never got ahead. l couldn't un-
derstand it. | blamed the weather,
the crops, the markets, the tariff
blamed everything but myself
Then this farmer got his idea. At
the time he had just $50 above his
immediate needs. He started the
bank account with $40. That $40
stuck, and he began to add to the
account. He said to the interviewer:
with cash in the bank was
able to take advantage of opportu-
nifty when it came my way. Oppor-
tunity takes off its hat to the man
with cash. The more money you
have the more opportunities you
have. | notice opportunity doesn't
hang around the poorhouse.
81 got that field over there cheap
because l had the cash in the bank
to pay for it. Pretty, isn't it? And
it pays too"
There is a definite moral effect
produced by starting bank account.
You feel under obligations both to
the bank and to yourself to make
that account grow. 1t is like under
taking some bit of work in which
you take pride-you don't want
to fail. There is positive stimula-
ton of success. If you make that
bank account grow normally you are
not only going to be richer, but you
are also going to be stronger and
more capable.
Opportunities which open out to
the owner of bank account mean
two things to him. First, they show
him the way to make more money.
That may or may not be good
thing. Better, they show him a way
to become more active, more alert,
more useful. If he can take ad-
vantage of opportunity to make hi.
bank account enlarge his field of
work and interests he will help to
set up higher standards OF achieve
ment in his community.
So your bank account becomes a
moral bracer.-Chicago News.

CARlCATURING Is OLD.
But John Laws Wild Financial Meth
ods Gave Il a New Life.

Caricature nowadays is one of the
principal methods of criticism. No
movement can overreach the mark
without eliciting dozenn of works
of art from caricaturists all over
this and all other countries.
This branch of criticism and at
tack dates far back, but the greatest
impulse it ever felt came from the
age of tremendous speculation,
when, in 1719 and 1870, John Law
was manipulating things financial in
France.
Never before had the financial
world been so carried off its feet as
it was at that time. Members of
the nobility were waiting for ga
chance to purchase shares in Laws
schemes. .Duchesses and ladies OF
high renown tried their most per-
suasive charms on Law in the at
tempt to get hold of shares. Men
hired out their backs for writing
desks, so great was the press of busi-
ness in making contracts, and one
hunchback is reputed to have made
100000 francs in this way in few
weeks.
The French went yer A1ly mad
over the schemes to becom: wealthy.
Naturally the papers Of the time,
especially those OF Holland, carica-
tured the state of affairs. There
were pictures of all sorts caricarur-
ing Law, the nobility, the schemes
and everything connected with them:
1t was this tremendous amount OF
pictorial work that first directed the
energies of William Hogarth in Lon
don in this direction. Caricaturing
began to be used more and more In
the political field, and soon after
ward it caused the shelving of Rob-
ert Walpole from the English min
istry. Ever since then has caricatur-
ing been one of the bitterest and
most effectual methods of checking
public men and their schemes.

Cleared His Doubts.

A well known English gentleman
engaged a tall and powerful high
lander to act as gamekeeper on his
estate. Having been considerable
time at his post and not having
caught any poachers, the gentleman
suspected .his gamekceper of care
lessness. SO one dark night he dis
guiScd himself and went out with
gun to poach on his own ground.
He had fired only one or two shots
when he was suddenly pounced upon
from behind and his gun wrenched
away. Then kicks and blows were
showered upon him until he fell
down half insensible. The high
lander then walked away quietly,
and when the gentleman recovered
sufficiently he crawled home and
took to his bed for two weeks. He
has now no doubts as to whether
the man can perform his duty or
not.

YOUR MONEY BACK
IF YOU Want IT.
Leading Druggist VIII Refund Pur-
chase Price Of D0dSOn'S Liver
Tone II You're Dissatisfied.

DR. w V Brockington may not be
willing to guarantee the safety and
reliability of calomel for constipa-
ton and sluggish liver, but he will
and does stand back of Dodson's
Liver tone with an unconditional
guarantee to refund the full pur-
chase price (50c) instantly without
question if you are not satisfied in
every way with LIVER Tone and its
results.
If you take calomel, perhaps you
will seem to get temporary relief,
but it often happens that the after
effects are at least unpleasant and
sometimes dangerous. Calomel in
large doses is poison and actually
deadly to some-perhaps to you
and hence its use means taking
chances.
With Dodson's Liver Tone you are
always safe. Its reliability is so GER
tain that it can be sold with the
money-back guarantee. 1t is veg
etable liquid. pleasant to take, and
it cannot harm. 1t clears up the
dulled and aching head and cleans
out the clogged system in what
many have found to be a wonderful
way. Dodson's Liver Tone will do
for you what it has done for thous-
ands-and you take no risk in try
ing it. Ask DR. Brockington about
Dodson's and the guarantee.

Beina True to Nature.

The lady had been out shopping.
She returned home with a hand
some sable scarf. She remarked to
her sister (as recorded in London
Opinion), who was admiring the
purchase: "That stupid salesman
tried to get me to buy a fur with
two heads. I cannot tolerate the
unnatural in anything. Who ever
heard of an animal with two
heads?"
Her sister looked critically at the
scarf. Then a smile of amusement
lit up her face. eyes," she remark
ed, '|you didn't buy a fur with two
heads, but you have bought one
with thirteen tails"

Ona View of Chance.

When you talk Of chance you are
only confessing ignorance. The very
spin of the coin is governed by the
nerve, muscle. or manipulation Of
the thumb and brain that spin it.
The only chance about it is your ig-
norance of the forces that lift, twist
and catch the coin. If you could
calculate the physical and mental
forces between the halfpenny's leap
and return you might buy the world.
But you can't. And it's just that
bit of blindness that we have to call
chance.-London Chronicle.

PitifuI Sales.

Kits of sailors lost at sea are sold
regularly at auction at the Albert
docks in London. The sale provides
many a pitiful sight. Most of the
lots are contained in the regular
sailors sea cnest, all marked with
the name of the ship from which
they come. 1t is not unusual for
those who have lost friends or rela-
tives at sea to attend these auctions,
and there are times when the first
news of such loss comes through
the recognition of familiar objects.

had learned to knit them with nee

made in 1880. The ancients wore
cloth about their feet and legs, and
