the men stand their trial. Their plan
of operation was explained by one Of
the members Of the clubs organized
as follows: Fifty people. generally
women, were induced to join club Of
fifty, agreeing to pay 2s cents each
week. Every Saturday for fifty weeks
q drawing would be held in Charlotte
at which one member would draw a
piece Of furniture alleged to be val
ued at approximately SIS. The sue
cessful club member was exempt from
further payments. At the end Of so
weeks 1t will be seen, each member
of the club would have received q
piece Of furniture at a cost Of varying
from 25 cents to $3.50. 1t Is said
that they had succeeded In organiz-
ing several clubs, when some Of the
members became suspicious when 1t
appeared that a drawing was not be-
ing made for each club. A canvas of
the mill villages Of Laurens disclosed
that "a members had not received a
prize. How many clubs were In ac-
tual operation and how long each
club had been running has not yet
been ascertained and will have to be
brought out at the trial, but the
agents showed the names Of five per-
sons to whom they had delivered
prizes The men disclaimed any In
tention to defraud and denied their
proposition was a game Of chance.
After the bond had been fixed up,

sumed, II was said.

Gen. Jenkins was born in Charles
ton district and a graduate Of the
state military academy. He came to
this place after he had carried off the
highest honors Of his class, in 1855,
and in conjunction with Col. Coward,
also Of the army In Virginia, estab-
lished the Yorkville Preparatory Mil
itary school, which had met with
unbounded success until the breaking
out Of the war, when the principals
took the field in person, as we'll as
many Of those who had profited by
their instructions. The gallantry Of
Gen Jenkins ensured him rapid pro-
motion, and thus on the eve Of his
being made a major general, we have
to chronicle his untimely end. He
was about twenty-six years of age,
gentleman Of high tone Of char
acter, and a strict diciplinarian; new
ertheless, he never forgot the du-
ties he owed to his men, and if he
was harsh at times, he felt keenly the
necessity that required it's exer-
else. He was much esteemed in in
his private character, while as a pub
lie man he was always foremost in
every effort to maintain the good
name Of his chosen district. Though
many have fallen In this fight, few
will be more missed by his brother Of
ficers. while his men will still remem-
ber many q kindness, and overlook his
errors, be they many or few.

pal church, in which faith he died,

and friends feel assured Of his glori-

- Columbia State: Expert stone
cutters and finishers from Vermont
impressed with the quality Of the
blue granite quarried at Rion in Fair
field county, and with the eligibility OF
Columbia as the site Of a plant in
which it can be worked up into trade
forms and distributed, have arranged
to settle in Columbia and to operate
here a finishing establishment. 1t is
expected that the colony will be large
ly augmented from time to time
Promoters Of the enterprise say it will
be an important new industry from
the start and will assuredly develop
into yet larger consequence. Work
ing quarters are to be erected at once
on Hampton street, between the South
Atlantic league baseball park and the
gas works Of the Columbia Railway,
Gas and Electric company. Accom-
modations to be provided now will
suffice for a complement Of 100 work
men, A number Of these have writ
ten to inquire about dwellings for their
families. An expert will arrive with
in a few days to superintend the con-
struction OF the plant. All the ma
chinery will be driven electrically.

Ceylon. There are, strictly speaking,
about 100000 Of them. They are
settled in the central and southern
divisions Of the island. They are
members of the Aryan family by
language. but, in blood, they are a very
mixed race, though basically they are
Of white blood. They are descendants
Of colonists from the valley Of the
Ganges, who are thought to have set
tied in Ceylon about 500 years before
the birth Of Christ.
THE Singhalese have remained a
stationary folk since the opening Of
the Christian era. Their customs,
costumes and manner Of life are much
the same today that they were more
than 1000 years ago. In appearance,
the men Of this people are peculiarly
effeminate Their bodies are slender
and their features are delicate. Their
dress Ia womanish, even to the ex-
tent Of fastening their long hair back
from the forehead by means Of dainty
combs. The men, also, wear earrings.
Nevertheless, the Singhalese have
managed to cover themselves with
glory by brilliant service on the fear
full battlefelds Of Europe.
THE Turcos are French military
organization, not folk. Turcos' is
the name which the French have ap-
piled to those troops that they have
formed out Of natives Of Algeria.
They are of Arabic and negro stock,
and are among the best trained colon
ial troops in the world.
"The Turcos were organized in the
first instance, as was also the case
with the foreign legion, solely for en-
ployment in Algeria. However, France
early found use for them in other
fields. In 1859, the Turcos went
through their first European campaign
in Italy. These same troops won in
ternational renown, when, in 1901,
their desperate fighting proved one Of
the most serious obstacles to German
success upon more than one battlefield.
Again in 1884, the Turcos saw service
in the far distant French province Of
China. The Turcos have always dis
tinguished. themselves in hardy en-
durance and In reckless bravery"
