Have you any etched or frosted

you owe this strange tracery to the
action of fluoride. on glass. For of all
the S0.odd chemical elements flu
orine is the most powerful and ac-
tive. and will scratch glass on sight,
though this cannot be done with
steel. About the only substance flu
orine leaves alone is our precious
oxygen supply. For almost every
other known substance fiuorine, which
is pale yellow-green gas with a
wicked smell, allied to chlorine and
iodine. has a demonical affinity. If
fiuorine and hydrogen meet. violent
explosion occurs. Finely divided car

Potassium and sodium dissolve in 1t,
then burst into flames, and even
water is instantly disassociated into
its gases by fluorine. One breath of
pure fiuorine gas burns the lungs up
instantly.

had to be covered with sheet of the
thin paper before slipping into the
envelope. for in this way only could
the writing be made invisible
through the envelope. There was
nothing smart in such procedure. 1t
was strictly utilitarian and also a
bit wasteful. Then the lined en-
velope appeared and it took like
wildfire. Today thick as well as
thin envelopes are lined, regardless
of necessity, purely for style. which
certainly is decorative.
How to Line Envelopes.
Naturally, stationery with lined
envelopes costs more than plain of
a similar quality. But if you have
deft fingers you can line the en-
Nelope yourself. This is easy to do.
When envelopes are not too thin
they are faced rather than actually
lined throughout. The lining" ex-
tends from the lower fold of the en-
velope to within a short distance of
the mucilaged rim. Very thin fancy
paper can be bought and cut to fit
any size or shape of envelope. The
bottom edge may be lightly touched
with library paste, and the top edge
must be. before each lining is
slipped into its envelope. One sheet

S. C. GOVERNOR HAS ORDERED
NO SPECIAL PROBE OF
THE LOMAN LYNcHING
preston News Servicel

Columbia, S. c., Dec. 9.-No definite
legal action will be taken against the
suspected members of the mob that
lynched and murdered the three Lo-
mans on October s, last, until the reg
ular term of the court NETS the latter
part of January, Governor Mcleod
indicated Thursday, following confer
ence with Attorney General Daniels
and Solicitor Carter of the circuit, in
GLIDING Aiken.
1t is believed that Governor Mcleod
is attempting to dodge the issue by
procrastinating the investigation as
long as possible as his term of Office
will expire January % and the further
work on the horrible crime will then
fall into the hands of another admin
istration. 1t is thought that in this
way Mcleod will save his hide from
the carping vengeance of the blood
thirsty citizens of South Carolina and
pass the buck on to the next admins
tration which will probably find it i'm
possible, after much delay, to find
sufficient grounds on which to proceed
with the prosecution of the suspected
killers.
It is claimed that the entire state is
dominated by men Of Senator Cole
BIease calibre and thus there is no
chance for Negro to get semblance
of justice in that state while such men
are in control. South Carolina is said
to be a seathing pot of political in
trigue Few men, at this time, dare
brook the will and wishes of Blease
and his cohorts. The good white cit
liens of the state have long since dis
carded politics and declare openly that
almost everything is dominated by
crooked politics in the state.
