HAS OLD CUP AND SAUCER
China Dishes Thought to Have Been
Buried by Spaniards $50 Years
Ago Found in Oklahoma.

Wetumpka, Ala.-Jchn Howle, who
has recently returned from a TRIP into
Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkan-
sas and several other states, brings
back an interesting story of excava-
lions near Wilberton, Okla.
1t is said that much treasure buried
by the Spaniards $50 years ago to
save it from Indian raids is being
dug up.
Howle has a hand-painted china
cup and saucer that is believed to be
more than $50 years old. They were
found buried in a copper kettle with
other dishes and %valuables.
Several different persons are said to
have found thousands of dollars in
gold, valuable jewelry, etc. Howle
saw several of the places where the
treasure was being dug up.

SCOTCH MARRIAGE is LEGAL
Mans Attempt to Repdiate Wife of
Thirty Years Is Baked by
Edinburgh Court

London.-"Now you are my Wife,
said William Winton, a lance cor
poral of the Royal Scots fusiliers,
placing a ring on the finger of a girl
of seventeen-Clara Wheeler-at Ayr.
That was in 1892. Recently the
Edinburgh Court of Sessions decided
this brief ceremony constituted a
binding marriage.
1t was, perhaps, the simplest mar
rage ever known. There was no cere-
mony by minister, register, or any
thing Of the kind-iust an agreement
to marry and the purchase of a ring
and the form Of words above.
After this the parties had lived to-
gether in various parts Of Scotland
until two years ago, when the >hus,
band, then head greenkeeper at Min
gavie, GLASGOW. after a quarrel, re-
pudiated his wife.
Giving. judgment upholding the mar.
riage, Lord Anderson said it was
clearly established tnat, according to
Scots law, the ceremony in 1892 was a
valid one and that the fact of the
marriage was adequately proved by
habit, repute, and by the parties hav'
Ing lived together for over thirty
years.

KILLED BY MOUNTAIN LIONS
Strange Fate of an Unidentified Man
Who Rode Along a Trail
in Oregon.

Bakersfield, Ore.-A mountain trag-
edv was revealed the other day when
the dismembered body Of an unidenti-
fed man, who had been attacked by
mountain lions, was found on an old
trail in the Santa Media range Of
mountains, eight miles southwest of
Lebec on the Ridge route, by Robert
Burton. q rancher.
Tracks in the snow told the story
Of the mans death. Albis Stanley,
another rancher, who arrived In
Bakersfield in the afternoon from the
scene, said that the man had evident
" fallen from his horse while riding
along the trail and was probably
rendered. unconscious, being attacked
by the animals while unable to de-
fend himself.
The horse, the man was riding, has
not been found. The tragedy hap
pened late in the afternoon or at
night, Stanley said, as the trail was
travelled earlier in the day.
There is little to identify the victim
beyond q few shreds Of torn clothing,
according to Sheriff D. Boone Newell,
who went to Lebec.

Tribute to Mrs. A. Gilchrist.


Twas not in cruelty, not in wrath
The reaper came that day;
Twas an angels visited the green
earth
And took the loved one away.
We see now but dimly through the
mist and vapors,
Amid these earthly damps,
What seem to US but sad, funeral
tapers
May be heavens distant lamps.
There is no death; what seems so is
transition,
This life of mortal breath
Is but a suburb of the life elysian
Whose portals we call Death.
She is not dead, the companion and
mother
But gone unto that school
Where she no longer needs u poor
protection
But where Christ Himself doth rule.
So be patient, and assuage the feel
ing,
You may not wholly stay;
By silence sanctifying, not conceal
ing,
The grief that must have way.

Sherman, Texas.

Education Should Not Suffer.

1t has been a long time since the
members of a general assembly OF
South Carolina had more difficult or
more perplexing problems to solve
than have the lawmakers who are
now in session in Columbia, and for
more than the allotted forty days
they have been wrestling courageous
ly with these problems.
As the end of the session approach
es, it appears that in order to lower
taxes a considerable reduction has
been made in the amount provided
for the common schools. This should
not be the case. While it i%s.imperative
at this time that the state levy be
lowered, yet some means should be
devised for raising in some other way
adequate funds for our schools and
colleges.
The great need in South Carolina
at this time is not so much a lower
ing of taxes, with a corresponding
decrease in the States revenue, for
too large a sum has never been rails
ed, as it is a reorganization of the tax
system to, the end that all classes of
individuals and all kinds of proper
ty bear a Just and proport;onate share
of tho fay hurdan.
Surely the general assembly will
not adjourn without making abun-
dant provision for the education of
the boys and girls of South Carolina.
They are entitled to first considera-
ton. Many of our oldest citizens have
been greatly handicapped through
life because they came upon the
scene Just after the Civil War when
schools and colleges suffered tc such
an extent that many were deprived
of an education. There should not fol-
low in the wake of the World Wal a
generation in South Carolina to suf-
fer a like handicap. However much
our people are depressed and embar-
raised financially, there is no good
ground for practicing such false
economy as to begin r~etrenchment
with out schools and colleges. A tax
on Injuries would easily provide for
the support of our educational sys-
tenn.

The Farmer Coming Back.

The farmers purchasing power is
increasing slowly. This comes about
through recent advances in prices of
principal farm products and some
decreases in prices of other things.
This is a hopeful sign. There may be
occasional recessions in prices of
farm products, but the low period
seems to be past and the trend is up
ward. The stiffening of the prices for
hogs is especially encouraging. With
hogs at present prices, the farmer is

Wednesday, February %.
Yie1h to Glitter of Gold.

The rash statement not infrequent-
ly heard that every man has his price
is untrue. There are countless scores
of men and women who are as true
and as answering from the course OF
rectitude as is the magnetic needle
in its pointing to the north pole,
whatever that be. Yet n is con-
strained to believe that too great a
number of persons, lured by the gilt
ter of gold, compromise themselves
to a degree, ever if they do not &C
tually sell their birthright.
A striking example Of the latter
class is found in the retirement of
Judge Lands of Chicago from the
Federal bench to accept a salary OF
$4,000 as a sort of national UNI
pire for baseball. The judges salary
for his services on the bench was ST.
500 and one naturally wonders if
the ffty-thousand-dollar job would
have been accepted by him if it had
only carried a $4,000 salary.
We believe that when a man is
called from among his fellows to an
honorable position, such as a federal
judgeship, which provides a salary
entirely adequate for ordinary hui
man needs he should be willing to
serve in that capacity, rather than
yield to the lure Of wealth when Of
fered a position of less honor and
lighter responsibility, which could be
easily filled by thousands Of men
not qualified for service on the bench.
Unfortunately, in this materials
tic and selfish age when a dollar is
placed in the balances over against
high ideals, the dollar too often out
weighs every other consideration.

My soul is ready to take its fight,

1 do not fear the approaching night,
81 haven't cried yet"
I'll bear the pain unto the end,
My God will not forget
How l have trusted Him IS a friend;
81 haven't cried yet"
Although through the mist l see afar
Gates with pearls all set,
And they for me now stand ajar,
81 haven't cried yet"
No pain can drive my faith away,
For Jesus paid my debt;
He made for me a brighter day:
81 haven't cried yet"
foods will be done so He ordained,
And why should I fret?
l smile tears away, by His sustained,
81 haven't cried YETI
1 am going now to my heavenly home
By loved ones to be met;
Never more I'll sorrow, neves more
I'll roam,
81 haven't cried yet"
