FRIDAY, February 13.
In THE SENATE, Mr.. Witherspoon presen-
ted the report of the special committee on the
celebration of Kings Mountain Centennial,
as follows:
The special committee on the Kings Mountain
Centennial Celebration, to whom was referred the
communications of the Governors OF North Caro-
lima and Tennessee, beg leave to report: -.
That they have duly considered the same. II
learn that the States of North Carolina and Ten
nessee have through their Governors given this
celebration official sanction.
The battle field of Kings Mountain being on
South Carolina soil, it is meet and proper that
our State should take such steps would guar
antee celebration of that glorious victory com
1nensurate with its historic importance The de-
scendants of our historic ancestors justly feel
great pride in their gallant behavior on that
memorable occasion indeed the whole State are
common inheritors of the blessings of liberty
then bought at the price of the life blood OF many
a gallant patriot.
The spirit of liberty and a commendable State
pride are in no other way so creditably fostered,
as by due regard for the virtue and patrlotlsm
of her glorious dead.
Such being the views Of your committee, 1t is,
in their opinion, proper that this General Assem-
bly, should take such action as to give the ceebra-
ton on the 7th Of October next, on the battlefield
of Kings Mountain, the official endorsement OF
the whole State, and to that end would recommend
that the governor do appoint, on behalf Oh the
State of South Carolina, a committee OF ten-being
two from each Congressional Distrlct-to repre-
sent the State at the celebration, and to extend to
our sister States invitations to participate with us
in the ceremonies; and that suitable arrangements
NAV be made for the celebration, we recommend
that an appropriation Of $1,000 be made, to be eX-
pended in such manner as the executive Com
mttee of the association in charge OF said ceebra-
ton may deem advisable.

Thrashing by Steam.

Most of the wheat OF California is
threshed by steam, and much of it on
the day when cut. The sickle is set on
a level with the bottom of the lowest
heads of grain, so as to take of no more
of the straw than is necessary From
the platform behind the sickle the grain
is carried by an endless apron or eleva-
tor into wagon alongside the header,
and this wagon, relieved by another at
short intervals, transports the grain to
the threshing machine which is not in
frequently moved from one point of the
field to another, so as to be near the
header. Or, if the threshing is 10 be
done after the cutting, the header wagons
throws their loads into piles, very differ
ent from the stacks carefully built of
sheaves in these climes where rain is
frequent in summer, and where tine
threshing may be delayed until late in
the fall.
The management of the steam thresh-
ing machine is usually the exclusive
business of its owner during July, Aug
ust and September. If the machine is
one of the ordinary size, he expects to
thresh about 1860 bushels-l00,0O0
pounds-ir day; that is, il the crop is
heavy and the circumstances favorable.
He employs a dozen men, who are ordi
narily boarded by the farmer, and he
receives from five to eight cents per
bushel for threshing. His total daily
expenses may be $50, and the average
gross receipts twice as much per day.
He gets his pay on the basis of the
weight Of the grain as sacked.
The thresher may have $4,000 invested
in his machine, wagons, horses and tools
needed for travelling and working; and
as he hires and manages dozen men.
and has but short season of threshing,
he must make good profit. The bust
ness demands much skill IN the control
of machinery and men, and great care to
prevent fires and accidents, so that the
average profit is not unreasodably large.
The charge for threshing is low, because
the farmers generally have preferred
that the work should be done with haste
rather than with care.

Deadening Pain.

The last number of the Medical Record
contains a notice of new and curious
method of deadening pain, which is of
striking simplicity. 1t was discovered
by Dr. Bonwill, dentist of Philadelphia,
in 1875. In using the method the oper-
ator merely requires the patient to
breath rapidly, making about 10g respi-
rations per minute, ending In rapid ex.
pirations. AT the end of from two to
five minutes an entire or partial absence
of pain results for a half minute or more,
and during that time teeth may be drawn
or incisions made. The patient may be
in any position, but that recommended is
living on the side and it is generally best
to throw handkerchief over the face to
prevent distraction Of the patients at
tentlon. When the rapid breathing is
6rst begun the patient may feel some
exhilaration; following this comes sem
sation of tullness in the head or dizzi-
ness. The face is at first flushed, and
afterward pale or even blush, the heart
beats rather feebly and fast, but the
sense of touch is not affected, nor is con-
sciousness lost. The effect is produced
in females more readily than in males,
and the middle-aged more easily than in
the old; children can hardly be male to
breathe properly. 1t is denied that
there is any possible danger. Several
minor operations, other than frequent
dental ones, have been successfully
made by this method, and it is claimed
that in dentistry, minor surgery and
obstetrics il may supplant the common
an9sthetics. DR.. Hewson's explanation
is that rapid breathing dimir ishes the
oxygenation of the blood, and that the
resultant excess of carbonic acid tempo
rarily poisons the nerve centers. DR.,
Bonwill gives several explanations, one
beirg the specific effect of carbonic acid,
another the diversion of will force pro-
duced by rapid voluntary muscular ac-
ton, and, third, the damming up of the
blood in the brain, due to the excessive
amount of air passing through the lungs.
The Record is not satisfied with the
theories, but considers it well proved
that pain may be deadened by the
method, which il commends to the pro-
fession for the exact experimental deter
mination OF its precise value.

Broken Bone Fever.
eering.
Tavannah News.

Dengue, or broken bone, fever also
known as "dandy fever" "bucket fever"
and bouquet fever" is said to have made
its first appearance as a malady in the
West Indies in 1927, at which time it
was also communicated to the Southern
part of the United States. The disease,
as has previously been stated, received
name "dengue" from the Spaniards OF
the West India Islands, from their word
dengue, denoting prudery, which ex-
presses stitfness-a pain in the bones
and stiffness in the body being the prin-
cipal features of the sickening disease.
During the past few months reports
have come from every quarter it the
Southern States regarding the prevalence
of this troublesome but not necessary
fatal disease. But few. If any, fatal
deaths have been made known from its
effects. Nearly every citizen of Savan-
nah had had a touch-ssome light,
some severe-of the malady, and not one
of them can give definite explanation
of the tortures of the disease. 1t has
spared no ene-adults, children, little
men, large men, black men, white men,
business men, sporting men, printers,
editors, lawyers, everyone being subject
to its fond embrace.
As for cure or preventative for the
little nuisance, we are not prepared to
say what is good or what is not good in
either case, but leave the matter to the
physicians, who, by the way, have been
reaping a rich harvest from the unlucky
victims of the disease. Some persons
have gone for far as to say that the fever
is more violent on those who have de-
fed it before falling into its clutches,
but for this we cannot vouch. We can
say, however, that any one, sooner or
later, who is among its victims, does not
wish a second battle in order to show
better fight. Probably for the above
reason more than anything else-that
is, its severity on those who defy tive
do not wish to agitate Mr.. Fever, as our
ranks have already been visited BY the
merciless monster, and to his majesty
we saw, Farewell"

convent, but managed TO escape. She
was recaptured, but again succeeded in
gaining her freedom. Then she was
placed in Catholic convent, from which
she also fled and which Judge Duffy in
terfered in her behalf. Having a desire
to become an actress she went on the
stage, but after a short theatrical expert
ence she was arrested at the instance of
her father and sister, who had lrer
placed in private school. She did not
remain long in the latter institution and
then an agent OF the Children's society
in New York rad her sent TO a private
home, where she stayed for three
months. After this she spent short
time in private asylum and then the
stage again occupied her attention. She
went TO England, thence to Australia
and China. In order TO gain her passage
back TO England from the Celestial EN-
pire, she alleges that she disguised her
self as cabin boy, and shipped. On
reaching London she met man calling
himself George Sweeney, also known as
st. Clair, and Allen, and "Gentleman
George" who betrayed her and brought
her to this country, and on reaching
this city placed her in house on Fair
mount avenue. Then she went to New
York, but Sweeney brought her back
and induced her to go to the house on
Twelfth street. She alleges that
Sweeney makes business of decoying
girls to this county and selling them for
improper purposes. The officers of the
S. p. G. G. in New York say that the
girl Is full of deception and unworthy of
belief; that her relations are unable to
retain her, and that she has victimized
charitable societies in New York and
Brooklyn.

Progress of the ObelisIx.
New York World

The gigantic monollth now on its way
to the Central Park was yesterday moved
100 feet further up the hill, to within 100
feet of the Boulevard on which it is ex-
pected that it will rest tonight. A large
gang of laborers were at work all last
night removing the heavy timbers across
the Boulevard, under the personal super
intendence of Lieutenant Commander
Gorringe, and hauling the cable chain
over. The heavy timber will not be re-
quired again until the obelisk reaches
Eighty-sixth street. Tie cable chain
used is the bower chain of the Dessoue.
1t is one and three-quarters of an inch
in diameter, in iron links two inches
long. The purchase blocks are fourfold
iron sheaves and shells in which six
inch Manila rope is rove. The force
that has been exerted to move the obe-
lisk up the hill has been equivalent to
that required to lift weight of twenty
eight tons when the blocking has been
carefully placed, but owing to the very
bad condition of the street force equiv
alent to that required to lift twenty-five
tons has occasionally been necessary to
move the obelisk ahead. 1t may be in
teresting to state that one end of the
cable chain is fastened to heavy timber
post let into the ground for ten feet.
which is technically termed an anchor.
The post to which the chain is now fast
ened stands in Ninety-sixth street, on
the east side of the Boulevard. The
other end of the chain carries one of the
purchase blocks, the other purchase block
of the pair being hooked on the end of
span or bride, which Is in turn fastened
to the cradle on which the obelisk rests.
The chain is in lengths of ninety feet,
and there are six lengths, or $40 feet in
all. AS each pull is made one length Of
the chain is removed, and so on until the
obelsk has reached the post, which is
now shifted 500 feet further in the di.
rection the obelisk Is to move. In the
park five more bents for the trestle work
have been erected and eight more have
been bolted together preparatory to be-
ing moved into position for erection. At
the site the north pier has gone up about
four feet, the timber-beds have been
hoisted into position on the south pier,
the steel bed-beams also hoisted over and
placed on them and two of the steel up
right beams have been erected on the
bed-beams. The public will soon be able
to understand the method of erecting the
obelisk. The work now accomplished
each day begins to tell the story plainly
of this tedious and difficult feat of engin-
eering.

A Smart Grl.

Jim Larson runs the dray line in
Bloomington. The other day while he
was getting safe down stairs from an
office the rope broke and it fell down;
he was in the way and narrowly escaped
being crushed. As it was he had his leg
broken and his foot mashed. This left
him with apparently no one to attend to
his business, which is quite extensive.
In this emergency his daughter Nancy,
aged IA, took hold of his accounts, and
since then has run the whole line, and
did it very successfully. She has at
tended to the orders; kept the men at
work, made out and collected all the
bills, and transacted all the affairs of the
line just as well as any one could have
done. This is the kind of girl to have,
and il Jim don't take her into partner
ship. then he deserves never TO get out
of bed. By the way, the most successful
coal and lumber merchant in that city is
q woman, Miss Georgian Trotter. She Is
0 good business woman, too, and knows
how 70 make as well as keep money.
