Miss Martha, B. Bond ilied Satur day night tost at the home of her sister, Mrs, Laura J. Nickles who Caused a Mutiny Long Ago on the Bounty, a British Man-of-War. New Idea Magazine. Who has not heard of the mutiny of the Bounty? The romance of it still lingers from one end of the Pacific to the other descendants of the mutineers of the British man-of-war and their dusky wives are living and were English names made famous or infamous, more than a century ago The British man-of-war had come to Tahiti.

The commander, Blythe. was harsh and cruel to his men. The women of Tahiti loved the fair skinned sailors and sought to hide them from their oppressor, but they were captured and the ship sailed away, only to return. When it returned, in command was Fletcher Christion. midshipman, and av score eers.

TJ'e brute Blythe and his loyal companions had been set adrift in an open boat. Marvelous to relate, after traversing thousands of miles of open they reached the AiMrilian coat. Here they found a haven of refuge at a British nutpoi. For jo command was Fkthcer Christian, and his companions was lost, although searching expedition after expedition was sent to Tahiti by the British government. Each of the mutineers, save the re morseful Christian, took unto himself a wife.

As it meant death to their husbands to live in Tahiti, they helped the men they loved to. man the boat that bore them away to seek some desert island. After sailing for many days in the extreme southern tropica! sea the rock of Fitcairn arose before them. Twenty years later a British ner-chantman sighted by chance the lone rock in the Southern Pacific and sent a boat ashore. To the astonishment of the crew, dusky men and women ran down to the beach to welcome them in their own tongue and claimed to be "English." Only ohj man among Adams, of pure British blood, still survived.

He was found Bible in hand, teaching in the little Sunday school which he had built and which he had educated the children of the colony and taught them the tenets of the Christian faith. When the news reached England a British man-of-war was sent for the last of the mutineers of the Bounty. Aboard was a king's pardon for Adams, so after all he died a British subject, surrounded by his dusky children and grandchildren. The colony was removed from the far avay southern isle to Tahiti but homesickness overcame its membtN's and they returned to the Verdant Rock. Winthrop College Scholarship Entrance Examination.

GilOa f.E'L ESTATE 1 Spartanburg Herald Of one thing there is certainly no dearth of these days. It will soon require the memory of a Macaulay to keep up with the mere names, let alone the nature and purpose, of half the organizations that have been or are being formed for one object Let1 one paue an fifstant ami begin to think of all the associations, unions, societiies.

broth-erhootK, federations, clubs orders and what not international, national, state, county, municipal masculine and feminine industrial, temperance, social, political, edncati, nal, agricultural, scientific, literary, historical-. etc. and it will make your head swim. All this is significant of the power that lies in organization. But verily, like all good things, tljore seenis to be a tendency to carry it too tar.

It is coming to such a pass that the average citizen and his wile and his soil' and his daughter and his manservant and his maid servant can hardly do anything else than keep up with the calls to foregather at some meeting of some organization or senile purpose, duly denned in it "constitution" and urg ed with insistent pressure upon it-members. We confidently look fhr the organization presently 0 a Society for the Prevention of Organizations. It-orators will fulminate against the exaggerated craze for organization and wax fetchingly eloruent over the simple life at home in the bos om of one's family. They wilj ask us tt sign a pledge never to any "more or accept "office. They will beset the legislature to pass a law prohibiting any further "conventions" or.

"conferences'' or "interstate meetings." etc. By a sort of turning back cf "organization" against ifelf they will stem the tide. And we are not sure but there are many, who would welcome this last militant "society" with a sneaking good will, and privately say "Go it." At any rate, the thing is positively getting serious. It keeps us on the jump either to "get to the meeting on, time" or else to dodge it neatly and successfully. Hen Knew Her Business.

Bloomington, Dispatch. A hen will not hatch an egg laid by a hawk, according to Chris Sum mit, of Stinesville. this county. He tried the experiment, he said, and failed. One day last week Mr.

Summit was out shooting crows on his farm and while returning home saw a hawk 011 her nest. He shot it. and also dislodged the nest, with an egg in it almost ready to hatch. Mrs. Summit placed the egg under a sitting hen.

In a short time she heard her pecking at something in the On investigation Mrs. Summit found the hawk's egg pecked into mincemeat. vMr.j Summit concluded that the hen's instinct warned her not to nurse a bird that might prey upon her brood. BROADENING MR. TILLMAN.

His Growth as a Statesman Shown by recent Even's. Charlotte Observer. Senator Tillman's recent votes on the, tariff show him to have grown dd: cidedly in breadth of view as a statesman. He has also, it seems, broadened in culture as a man. "I am not a connoisseur," he told the senate, discussing the Aldrich bill's free-art pro vision, "but last year during my trip to "Europe I got much enjoyment from my visits, to the great foreign art galleries.

1 saw enough to convince me that the importation of. art works ought to be encouraged. I.f you want to whack these millionaires, then take Some, of their special privileges out-of this bill, Importations should be encouraged so as to increase the artistic Stock of the coun try. Many millionaires who have large private collections allowed the general public to visit them at regular PriiSds and they often lend their great masterpieces to public galleries. The contemplation of beautiful paint ings and statuary by even the 'most ignorant' persons must exert an ele vating and refining "influence." Senator Tillman himself has without doubt "undergone something of the process which he describes.

If the country needs any argument for free art works, his preaching, sup ported by his example, should be sufficiently' convincing. Notice. All persons that have lots to offer for a siie for the hospital will p'case send in their offers to Mrs. E. t.

lIocfital In Honor of Misses Ellis. The following from The-Keowee Courier, of Walhalia, will be of interest, to Greenwood people: society se were given a treat in the little "At Home" by Prof, and Mrs. J. L. Kennedy on last Friday evening in honor of Mrs.

Kennedy's sisters, Misses Nola and Edna Ellis, from Greenwood, who are visiting her. After a short while spent itt conversation, "getting Mrs, Kennedy announced that for the evening "hearts would be trumps," and proceeded to hand to each one present an oddly shaped piece of cardboard. She then said that the piece held by each young man when fitted correctly with that held by some young lady wvuld form a heart, and for to hunt the other half. All the matches havirig been made, or rather all the pieces having been matched, and couples seated, we were told that every man and woman is an artist that is. more or less so and that each one exhibit on he blackboard provided of his or her talents.

To keep all from using the same subject slip of paper wa? given each one. with the name of a song written thereon. Then each must go to the blackboard and draw an object illustrating the name of the song. All the others must then guess the name from the" drawing. It is needless to suggest that it required considerable knowledge-of the "titles of songs to even guess then from the most' of the characters drawn.

Sevenguess-el them all correctly, however, and that's where the straws came, in. Miss Gertrude Biemann did ntt stop at drawing a good picture to represent her song; she also, drew the longest straw, and it drew the prize. Speaking of prizes one of speeches and disertations, but the speech Mr. Wilcox made presenting that box of randy to Miss Biemann has seldom been equalled aid never surpassed in this country. After the heat of the contest the hostess called Kliss Daisy Strong to her assistance and reduced the temperature back to normal with delicious pineapple cream and cake.

The Misses Ellis are of that type of young women that one delights to meet, and after meeting does not wish to leave, A Card. We beg in this way to return our profound thanks to the many kind friends of our sisterMiss Martha B. Bond for their kind interest, and substantial help during her protracted illness and especially to her physician Dr. V. P.

Barratt, who was so faithful and sympathetic during her illness. Mrs. Jaura J. Nickels, Mrs. Griffin.

Trees and Money. Collier's. Planting eucalyptus trees in Cali fornia is undoubtedly a good thing for the state and the nation, and un der favorable conditions should mean gain to the owner. Owing to their comparatively rapid growth and arious-excellent qualities the eucalypti give promise -of unusually large returns on th- money invested Thevspeedily diminishing hardwoid supply of the East is art important factor indirecting attention to the possibilities of eucalyptus culture. It is unfortunate' that many of the 100 or more eucalyptu companies which, have recently sprung into existence show a tendency to exaggerate the possibilities.

Their printed statements indicate that they are more concerned with selling stock arjd land than with insuring returns. Land planted to eucalypti, costing certain promotion companies form $40 to $60 per acre, is being sold for $185 to per' acre. Agents of some of the companies are now conducting an aggressive 'campaign in Eastern cities searching for the man who is to make 100 per cent mdre on his money. The do ings, of the Mexican rubber companies are recent enough to supply material 'The eucal ypfui are after alj, however fast and well they and although the wood they produce means a fair rate of interest on the Capital invested, it is nevertheless wood, ot pockets of gold. A check will result to the legitimate growth of this most commendable industry if there is much cheating of that, easy mark, the small investor.
