Great Activity Ahead
If matters continue smoothly ahead
in Arizona, there is no question but
that fall and winter will witness the
most extensive and stable broadening
of activities in its mineral districts that
has ever been enjoyed in any mining
division of the country. The enormous
amounts of money which are being ex-
pended by established, dividend earn
ing concerns in the Arizona districts
and the totals of which are being con-
stantly added to, together with the
new development which is engaged and
also steadily expanding on the legiti-
mate lines which public sentiment is
enforcing, leaves no room for question
but that activity transcending anything
before entertained is ahead and that
it will have benefits for everybody in

STOLEN GEMS IN GARDEN.
Workman's Spade Unearths Watches
Rings, Bracelets and Breaches.

AS one of the gardeners employed
at the Canbury Riverside Promen-
ade, Kingston on Thames, was turn
ing up the earth in one of the flower
beds he discovered several watches
and bracelets among the soil. Sink
ing his spade deeper, he brought to
light more jewelry, until he had ac-
cumulated enough to fill his apron.
The articles, which were of gold,
consisted of watches, rings (some
set with precious stones), bracelets,
bangles, breaches, shirt studs, sleeve
links, etc., the whole, which is of
considerable value, being buried only
a few inches beneath the surface, and
quite close to the public footpath.
One of the gardeners Informed the
police, and two detectives carefully
sifted the earth, in the flower bed, an
operation which revealed the pres
ence of some smaller articles of
jeWelry.
The find was removed to the King

property was identified as forming
part of the proceeds of daring burg

ant attorney general of South Caro-
lima, will make the second race with
w. F. Stevenson, of Cheraw, for the
seat in congress made vacant by the
death recently of Representative
David E. Finley, of the Fifth South

from the district show Mr.. Sapp to
be about fifty votes ahead of T. B.
Butler, of Gaffney, whom earlier re-
turns indicated would be Mr.. Steven
sons opponent in the second con-
test. This race is for the full term,
beginning March 4.
When the primary was ordered it
was agreed that instead of holding a
second primary the two candidates
receiving the highest votes should
go into the general election, the re-
suit of which would settle the con-
test. This election will be held We'd

Paul G.. McCorkle, of Chester, re-
tains his large majority over two op-
ponents for the short term and will
go into the election Wednesday un-

Preserving Flowers With Wax.

1t is not generally known that
many kinds of flowers may be pre-
served in life like condition with
wax. Ordinary candles may be used
and, to prepare the wax, it is only
needful to cut up the candles into
chunks, taking away the wicks. The
wax is then melted in saucepan over
a fame and, when the whole is liquid,
the flowers may be treated. Each
bloom should be quite dry on the sur
face, that is, there should be no rain
or dewdrops on the petals. Take the
blossoms separately and dip them for
a moment or so into the liquid wax,
constantly moving them about. I'M
merse the blossom completely and
also an inch or so of the stem. Then
take them out and wave about in the
air to dry.
