MUST FOLLOW AS THE NIGHT THE DAY: THOU CANS
MRS. MARY J. FLOYD Is DEAD.
Formerly Resident of Walhalla--WaS
WcH Known and Loved Here.

Mrs. Mary Josephine Floyd died at
the home of her son, Charlie Floyd,
in Seneca, yesterday morning, after
lingering illness, she having been
in poor health for some years, and
for several months she had been a
great sufferer from a complication Of
troubles.
Mrs Floyd was well known and
greatly loved in Walhalla, where for
a number OF years, she, with her huS-
band and family, made her home.
She was the widow of the late Major
J. S. Floyd. They moved to Wal

ber Of years ago and Mr.. Floyd en-
gagged In farming near town. Mr..
Floyd preceded her 10 the grave sew
eral years, and since his death the

dent of Walhalla, but spent her
time visiting among the families Of
her sons and daughter. Mrs. Floyd
was good woman, devOut Chris
tian and consecrated and consist
ent member of the Baptist church, in
which 1t was her chief delight to
work for her Master. Her life was
given in constant endeavcr to bet
ter humanity, to uplift the fallen and
to work among the poor OF any COM
munity@ in which she chanced to be
sojourning. Truly good woman
has been called to her reward.
Mrs. Floyd was a native Of New

the city Of Newberry in 1916, she
being at the time Of her death 60
years of age. She is survived by
several children, among whom we re-

DURING LONG nap IN WINTER DAYS
ALLIGATOR AT PARK GROWS LARGER

Now that winter IL here, the bears,
coyotes and other fur-bearing animals
in the zoo at Glen Miller park are in
their glory and are more frisky than
at any other season, for the colder the
weather the more they appear to en-
joy It.
The bears are especially happy.
They break through the crusts of ice
that form in their swimming pools
each morning and take a plunge with
much gusto. When they come out Of
the water the cold air quickly turns
their black coats into a dazzling white
and they jump around and play as
they do at no other time. ..
The racoons, rabbits, skunks, eagles.
deer and elk are also at their best at
this time, for they like snow and
frost. OF all the animals at the Glen
the elk are the hardest. Even In the
heaviest storms and billiards they
never seek shelter. II snow falls fast
and begins to cover them they will
shake themselves, get up and seek an
other spot, and II again covered will
repeat the operation. 1t Is not an
uncommon sight to see them buried

and antlers showing through their
white covering.
Animals from tropical countries,
such as monkeys, parrots and alliga-
tors, are taken to a section OF the
greenhouse reserved for their use dur.
ing the winter, and there they spend
the long, bleak months. They get the
same care during this season as they
Ito in summer, being fed regularly and
kept in clean, healthy condition.
Superintendent Ford has no trouble
with the alligators, for the moment
they are taken into the greenhouse
they lapse into stupor from which
they do not awaken until taken out
again In the summer. They do not eat
during cold weather, but grow faster
when on an "air" diet than when they
are gorging themselves with food.

ed for the famous ocelot cat, about

FOIL DYNAMITE PLOT
AS RESERvISTS SAIL
Enough to Blow Up italian Liner
Found on Pier.

New York, Sept. 29.-The finding of
eight sticks of dynamite on the Brook
Ign pier of the Sioula-Americana line
steamer San Guglielmo, shortly after
she sailed for Naples with LOO Ital-
ian reservists, is announced by the
bureau of combustibles.
1t is the belief of the authorities
that an attempt was made to place
the dynamite on the ship, but that
the vigilance of police and dock
guards in scrutinizing passengers pre-
vented whoever brought the explo-
sives from boarding the ship.
The dynamite was of the 40 per cent
brand, capable Of destroying the ship.
1t was found hidden under q pile of
bags.

Lazy Tropical laborers.

The most considerate employers of
tropical labor agree with the most in
considerate in saying that in general
1t Is useless to attempt to spur the ma
tives by any motive beyond the actual
demands Of food and shelter. Kind
ness and consideration on the part of
the employer undoubtedly promote
faithfulness, but they seem rarely TO
arouse ambition or energy.
1t is literally true in Guatemala, for
instance, that the more native Is
paid the less he will work. IL one
days pay will buy two days food he
will work half the time; IL the pay Is
increased so that one days pay will
buy food for three days he will work
one-third Of the time. The experiment
has been tried again and again, and
there is practically universal agree
ment as to its result.-Professor Ellis
worth Huntington in Journal of Race
Development
