HIS FATHER AT BUNKER HILL
Washington Man, Now 1o2 Years Old.
was Past Age Limit At Opening
OF the Civil War.

Austin Corbit Winslow, whose father
fought In the battle of Bunker Hill,
and himself being too old to enlist at
the outbreak Of the Civil war, is one
hundred and two years old. Despite
his remarkable age. he is still able to
sit up and take an active interest in
current events, says the Washington
Post. He attributes his age to the fact
that he has taken the best possible
care Of himself. He says he never
smoked, but was q chewer of tobacco.
To look at Mr.. Winslow, one would
never suspect him as having passed
the century mark. His complexion is
ruddy, and his eye alert, but he has
cultivated flowing white beard. An.
other remarkable fact Is that his hand
writing Is still legible.
Coming from q stock of hardy an.
cestors, he was born in Barnard. VT,
the son Of HezOkiah and Mary Samp.
son Winslow. His father and several
brothers were all past eighty when
death called them. His mother, how.
ever, died In her sixties. When asked
how many more years he expected TO
live, he replied: "The way l feel at
tho present time, I will live as long as
MGthusaleh."

HOW MUCH ONE SHOULD HAVE
u 10 Difficult for Anyone TO Say What
Amount Of Money II Would ee
Best for Him 20 Possess.

1t Is convenient to have money. We
all see many ways In which we would
like to use it. But when we have
money We are all apt to wish 1t just a
little more, remarks the Milwaukee
Journal. Who is to say what Is the
exact amount 1t Is right that we should
possess? Wishes. tastes; desires diff
Ter. We ourselves do not know what
our limit should be. With too much
money one is likely to become conceited
to lose sympathy and be hard-hearted,
and more than likely regardless Of the
means he takes to add to his store. If
he has too little, he may be envious
Ut others, embittered toward society,"
tempted to dishonesty. Or there may
be real suffering for need Of what
money can buy.
No one, not even the man in prison
cell, can live In any degree Of comfort
without money. It Is necessary to life.
Yet there are many things Of greater
value than money, things that money
cannot buy, that are necessary to our
welfare. Undue love of money is a
poison In the soul, eating out what is
OF most worth. We may pay too high
price for its acquisition. We should
tudge our desire for money by + pur.
pose, our motive in wanting 1t. Money
ID power for good or evil, as we
choose to use 1t.

DAYLIGHT ROBBER.

From The Daily Item, June 16.
Yesterday afternoon the home of
Mr.. Alex Averbuck, on South Harvin
street, was entered by q bold thief who
was SO daring as to attempt to rob
the house in daylight. When Mrs.
Averbuck returned to the house about
$50 o'clock, after being away for a
couple Of hours. she heard someone
walking around up stairs. When the
thief found that he was discovered, he
Jumped out of the window and hasti-
ly departed.
1t seems that he gained entrance
through the rear part of the house, as
the back doors are seldom locked. He
proceeded up stairs, where he found
that the door which he wished to en-
ter was locked. He returned to the
garage in the rear of the house, bor-
rOwed the tools from the tool box
and proceeded to break the lock
which he thought kept him from his
booty. He was apparently searching
for money only. for, though he exam
ined carefully the pockets of all the
clothing, he could find he took moth
ing but, instead, left behind his shoes
which he had removed to avoid maxi
ing any noise.
Mr.. Averbuck stated that he had a
certain man under suspicion and. with
the aid of the shoes left behind. he
expects to round up the guilty party.

Gun Fired by Gasoline.

A new kind Of gun using gasoline as
the explosive has reservoir beneath
the barrel, with a carburetor behind,
and battery in the stock. A plunger
at the rear Of the breech serves to
compress the mixture of gas and air
admitted to the chamber by a valye
from the carburetor, and pressing the
trigger closes the electric circuit, ex-
plodlng the charge and dlscharging the
bullet. AS the gas Is compressed by
the plunger before the firing, the pro-
jectile Is held in place in the barrel by
springs, which are capable of resisting
several times the plunger pressure,
though quickly yielding to the force of
the explosion.

DISCUSS MARKETING PROBLEM,
Meeting at Chamber OF Commerce by
Safety Committee.
From The Daily Item. June 16.

From The Daily Item, June 16.
This morning the Committee Of
Public Safety for Sumter county held
a rather lengthy meeting In the
Chamber Of Commerce to discuss the
welfare Of the county. II was decid-
ed to increase the membership OF the
committee to one hundred, appoint
ing ten men in each township Of the
| county instead Of five, as heretofore.
These new men must be tried and true
men who are willing to work hard
and, If need be, make sacrifices i'm or
der to accomplish results and make
the work of the committee count for
anything.
The question Of marketing the sur
plus products of the farmers was TAX
en- up and discussed at some length.
In order for the chamber to get this
market, it is necessary that 1t be
known what amount the wholesale
dealers can positively count on and
that the produce be graded and put
up in marketable packages. The
farmers must not expect to receive re-
tail prices for their products, but must
be willing to accept the market price.
There must be more cooperation be-
tween the farmers and the Chamber,
which is doing all in its power to
connect up the producer and the
wholesaler. 1t was urged that the
farmers take advantage Of the State
department of agriculture. by writing
to Commissioner Watson, and edu-
cate themselves along these lines.
Messrs. Brogdon and Dwyer were
present at this discussion. Mr.. Dwy-
er told what was necessary to be
done to the produce before it could
be marketed and offered to assist the
farmers in selling their products. Mr..
Brogdon, speaking for the Union
Brokerage Company, stated that he
would gladly handle, in car load lots,
PAOooSS oS II ioii pOldlOeS, III tne
farmers would properly prepare 1t for
market and let it be known what
amount could be counted on.
Many other questions were taken up
and discussed fully. The work of the
Red Cross organization was explain
ed by Mr.. Phelps. who urged that the
committee do all in it's power to help
out this worthy cause. The boil Vice.
vii and it's consequences were talked of
by Mr.. Williams, who is working mp
enthusiasm over a trip to the districts
afflicted with this pest. The county
fair, Liberty loan, and migration Of
negro labor came in for their full
share of the discussion.
R. w. Westberry was present and
told what he was doing among the
people Of his race. He is working
with his people, getting them to CO.
operate with the whites and, as Mr..
Phelps said, is doing a great work.
Y 1t was decided to postpone the next
meeting until the first Saturday in
July. ~
