Queen EIizabeth's Amulet.

Queen Elizabeth during her last
illness wore around her neck a
charm made of gold which had been
bequeathed to her by an old woman
in Wales, who declared that so long
as the queen wore it she would nev-
er be i'll. The amulet, as was gen.
orally the case, proved of no avail,
and Elizabeth, Notwithstanding her
faith in the charm, not only sicken-
ed, but died. During the plague in
London people wore amulets to
keep off the dread destroyer. ANU
let's of arsenic were worn near the
heart. Quills of quicksilver were
hung around the neck and also the
powder of toads.

Oriain of Cotton Thread.

For almost a hundred years no
one thought of making thread other
than from linen and silk. Cotton
was not so much as thought Of
Then Napoleon, who had been dev,
astating Europe, thought he would
strike a blow at the silk industry OF
Hamburg, and so he caused the
stocks of silk to be burned. The
threadmakers of Paisley thus found
their supplies of raw material GU.
off, and they had to look about to
find a substitute. Cotton was tried
and was found to answer the pur,
pose so well that the basis of an eli,
tirely new industry was laid-thc

GENUINE OLD FAMILIES.
Some In Europe and the Orient That
Are Really Ancient.

In Great Britain and on the con-
tinent those families pride them
selves that count their ancestry
through ten generations, but their
claims to really ancient lineage
seem insignificant when compared
with those of certain houses in the
orient.
We read that the oldest family in
Great Britain, the Mar family IN
Scotland, may trace its pedigree to
1898. Then, too. we have the
Campbells of Argyll, whose date is
put down at 100. The Grosvenor
family, that of the Duke of West
minister, refers its origin to the
same year that the Conqueror
"came over. e., l066. The Aus
trian house of Hapsburg goes back
farther than that, its date being
952, while the Bourbons proudly
mention S64 as the date of their
origin.
But none of them is to be men,
toned in the same breath with the
emperor of Japan, whose off:co has
been filled by members Of his lam
lily for a period of over $500 years.
the present ruler being the one
hundred and twenty-second in the
line. The first emperor of Japan
sat on the throne about the time
when Nebuchadnezzar was flourish
ing-that is, in $50 3. c.
Another oriental branch, the de.
scendants of Mohammed, presents
claims not to be dismissed. The
prophet was born in $40, and a lis;
of his descendants has been careful
ly retained, being duly set forth in
a volume kept in Mecca. Little or
no doubt exists of the authenticity
of the long list of names Of Mo-
hammed's descendants as registered
in this sacred book.-London Stand

WILLIAMSBURG FAIR ENDS.
Was Bio Success..."Old Hines"
and His Cornet.

ana ms NOEuSts
The second annual county fair held
by the Williams burg County Fair
Association came 10 a successful
close Saturday. The day was known
as The Colored Peoples Day" and
was attended by the largest gather
ing of the race ever witnessed in the
county, the crowd being estimated
at upwards of 5000, including 1,500
colored school children. The grand
stands on the grounds were filled
with people early in the morning
where they remained patiently and
orderly until their speakers COM
pleted that part of the days pro-
gramme about l p. m.
The Rev Richard Carroll, of Co.
lumbia, who was to be the chief
speaker, failed to come and his place
on the programme was filled by his
son. Seymour Carroll of Orangeburg.
Among the speakers was the Rev M
NJ Mouzon, of Charleston, who was
born and reared in this community
and is highly respected by both
white and colored. His address
elected praise from those of the
white people who heard him.
Speeches were also made by men,
bers of the local colored clergy.
None of the exhibits were removed
from the premises until afternoon
Saturday so as to give the colored
attendants an opportunity to view
them, which they did with an ap-
parent relish.
In the afternoon programme of
track events was carried out and a
number of Williamsburg negroes were
made to feel proud of their horses
or mules because of their having
won blue or red ribbon,
During the entire day and until a
late hour Saturday night the Ferris
wheel and merry-go-round were
crowded with riders.
But to the white people who at
tended the fair Saturday, the day
would probably have seemed monot-
onous, had it not been for the pres
ence of "Old Hines the. portly por-
ter and cornetist, so familiar to the
travelling people, at Lanes. Hines
is popular with his own race as Well
as the white, is a special feature at
nearly every Afro-American func-
ton held in this section. So his
presence Saturday added to the en-
| joyment of the day, perhaps more
so because he could not persuade
his old horse to take as lively inter-
est in the races" as it had done a
year ago, when Hines was able to
return to Lane we'll decorated with
ribbons won by his nag.
From a financial standpoint the
fair has been a success beyond ex-
pectations. considering the disadvan-
tages brought about by the July
storm

IMPOSSIBLE TO ADD
TO ENGLISH PREPARATIONS

Especial Cable TO The Times Dispatch ]
LONDON, January 2s.-A. J. Balfour.
First Lord of the Admiralty, was asked
whether II was true that Germany had
produced a new sevcntcen-inch naval
gun. He was also asked what steps
were being taken TO meet any develop
ment in the way of new ships or large
guns being produced ny Germany dur
ing the period OF naval inactivity. Mr..
Balfour said:
NO doubt, IL has been within the
power OF Germany TO initiate during
the war and perhaps TO complete the
building OF large ships with powerful
armament.
I'VE have no evidence that seven
teen-inch guns exist. but. given the
time and labor. there would be no diff
ficulty in making them. The most di-
verse ronjectures may he made by in
Eenious persons. but 7 am by no means
sure that the seventcen-lnch- gun story
is the most plausible OF those conjec-
lures.
las regards the preparedness OF the
British navy. ii may he said that every
dock yard, public or private. at home
or In the Mediterranean. is being used
either for new construction or for re-
pairing requirements Of ourselves and
our allies. This being so, tt is impossi-
BILE to add to the magnitude of our
preparations"
