speaking also to twentieth century

MR. D. W. McCHESNEY
Mr. D. W. McChesney died early \
Saturday morning aout 1 o'clock in 1
the Biltmore hospital at Asheville,
wher he had been for about six weeks
undergoing treatment. For more than ]
a year Mr. McChesney had been a 1
sufferer of asthma, having had several
operations during this time. This, together
with a weak heart, resulted in 1
his death. '
Mr. McChesney, a Virginian by (
birth, having been born fifty-eight
years ago in Washington county, Virginia,
came to Columbus about four J
years ago from Landrum, S. C., as
manager of W. M. Lambright's store.
When Mr. Lambright sold out the Columbus
Mercantile company, Mr. Mc- 1
Chesney became its manager. This '
position he held until declining health
forced him to retire.
Seldom has a man been more beloved
and respected in his community,
than was Mr. McChesney. He was
a faithful member of the Presbyterian
church, and was in every respect a
good, honest, Christian gentleman.
The large number of friends and
beautiful floral offerings present at
his funeral which was held In the
Columbus Presbyterian church by the
Rev. Gillespie Sunday afternoon, go
to attest the high esteem in which
Mr. McChesney was held. Interment
was made in the Presbyterian burial
plot. Active pallbearers were: Messrs.
T. M. Lynch, E. W. S. Cobb, J. W.
Jack, E. B. Cloud, R. F. McFarland
andEd VV. Newman, all of Columbus.
Honorary pallbearers were: Messrs.
John Landrum, Roy Whitlock, Milo
Foster, Sam Austin, Tom Prince, Noah
Daniel and W. M. Lambright, all of
Landrum. '
The deceased is survived by his devoted
wife who was Miss Kate Gray
of Washington county, Virginia; two
daughters, Miss Katherine, a member
of the Stehrnes High school faculty
at Columbus and Mi:;s Dorothy a
member of the Green's Creek high
school afculty; two brothers, Rev. P. ,

Where Name Gamaliel
Occur* in the Bible
Two men by the name of Gamaliel
are spoken of in the Bible. The periods
In which they bred were widely
separated. The name of the first to
found in Numbers 1:10. He was the
son of Pedah azur, a prince or captain
of the Tribe of Manasseh, and he
la here mentioned in connection with
the census of Sinai. He again mentioned
in chapters 2:20; 7:54 and 10:
23, the latter -reference being to
Gamaliel as captain of the Tribe of
Manasseh at the starting of the I?raelities
on their march through the
wilderness. The second Gamaliel was
a Pharisee and celebrated doctor of
the law, who gave sound worldly advice
to the Sanhedrin respecting the
treatment of the followers of our
Lord. This will be found In Acts 6:34.
It is also learned from 22:3 that he
w?n the ton char of St. Paul when the
latter was a young man zealously devoted
to Judaism. He Is generally
Identified with the very celebrated
Jewish doctor, Gamaliel, who was the
son of Rabbi Simeon, and grandson
of the celebrated Hlllel. He was president
of the Sanhedrin, the great
council of the Jews, during the reigns
of the Roman emperors Tiberius, Caligula
and Claudius.
Science Vainly Seeks
New Sources of Silk
In spite of the enormous increase
in the production of artificial silk, real
silkworm silk la just as much sought
after as ever, and is even more expensive
than formerly. 80 much so
that attempts have been made to find
other Insects to produce It.
Spiders have been tried, und other
caterpillars besides that of the silkworm
moth, but without much success.
The oddest source from which silk has
been obtained is a shellfish, a sort of
mussel, called the "pinna" and found
In the Mediterranean.
This creature fastens Itself to the
rocks with fine and very strong
threads, wnicri can oe spun ?wr?ly,
golden yellow silk.
But It Is not likely that aea sOk
will ever be a commercial proposition.
Hie thread Is very short, the filaments
being not more than three inches long.
Also, it tal: more than three thousand
of the li<ih to produce one pound
of silk. Yet a little is produced and
worked in Sicilian, coast villages.
Hons to Soften Fur Rug
If a fur rug has stiffened after being
washed, it can be softened by applying
the following mixture to the
wrong side of the rug: Three table
spoonfuls of caster oil, one of glyceric
and one of turpentine This must re
main on for a wees, when Ihe rug.
still on the wrong side, should be well
rubbed with a smooth atone or block
of wood.
