Cattle Fever Question.

Doctor Swinburn. 10 whom all matters
relating to cattle fever in the western States
and the Texas fever or cattle plague in the
southern States we're referred by the House
Committee on Agriculture, has made "A
report on the subject in which he makes
thorough scientific review Of the question.
He says the condition of infected cattle and
the symptoms before death combined with
the appearance of the animal after death
all lead him To the belief that there is
strong analogy b,iween cholera in the hui
man race and the so-callei Texas plague in
cattle, in the manner al its mode Of propa-
CATION and it, spread among cattle, as well
IA the very many conditions and symptoms
ia common with yellow fever. II would
seem that the disease, like cholera. is spread

course at transportation. and that the
cattle which have been apparently free from
the disease have possessed the germs which
they develop Ia tht course of transIorta-
Il N and which have been received by and

Passing through Lyons in this guise he
was observed by the bishop of the
diocese, who was afflicted with an in

New York Special. The Rev. j. Ben
son Hamilton, the new pastor OF the
Cornell Memorial Methodist Episco-
pal church, has preached his first SER
mon in his pretty church building.
The title of his sermon was How to
Fill Empty Churches The church
vas full Of parishioners who wanted
to hear what he had to say on the
subject. Pastor Hamilton comes from
Rhode Island. A huge screen, hidden
behind folds of crimson cloth, stood
behind him as he rose to preach. bis
text was "He brought him to Jesus,
and at two intervals in the discourse
ne turned about, drew aside the Grim
son folds and revealed two large pict-
ures in bright colors illustrating the
theme. Beside the screen stood q
placard in large black letters inscribed
with the different topics OF the SER
mon.
Pastor Hamilton started out with
the idea Of preaching illustrated SER
mons on the same basis aS the Sun
day-school object lesson. The new
experiment. certainly took with his
parishioners. Pastor Hamilton said
that the oft repeated sneer and tannt
of the anti-C Christian caviller: seJhe
theatre is full and the church is
empty could be answered only by
the minister and the congregation
making a personal effort to fill the
church.

In q little while, a month or two,
The buttercups and violets blue
Will bloom and flourish on the hill,
The birds their sweet notes loudly thrill
The roses sweet will bloom and die,
And summer breezes gently sigh,
And soda fountain soon will boom,
And lovers crowd the ice-cream room,
The overcoat will so IN pawn,
The girl win wear the dress OF lawn,
The duet will lie thick on the road,
The boy will kill the harmless toad,
The b~ullfrog sing his doleful lay,
The crickets chirp at close OF day,
The lovers stroll in lonely lanes,
The organ grinder give o pains,
The bycicle man will show his leg,
The busy hen win lay her egg,
In every pond and lake and bay
Boats will be seen each pleasant day,
All balls and parties will be DER,
And folks will seek the cool seashore,
The boy each day his path will take
In every puddle, creek and lake,
The baseball man will WELD the bat,
The farmer wear the big straw hat,
The peddler on the street viii shout.
The u will knock fat people out,
The baby-carriage will 500 appear,
There'H be a boom in lager beer,
And picnic will be all the go,
1t will all be in a month or SO.

young and innocent-looking couple
went shyly into the Office of the
county clerk in our town. He was SO
happy that his face glowed, and a
brighter lustre seemed to have been
given the cheap and very shiny black
suit of clothes in which he was dressed.
He had a white necktie, and black
gloves with red and green stitching on
the back.
"The young woman wore with mani
fest pride a drab poplin dress, plenti-
fully b%esprinkled with white ribbon
bows; her hands were in white cotton
gloves; a white hat, with a white tissue
veil punched up all over it, and falling
to her waist, was on her head.

Be1ton Items.

Since the continuous rains farmers have
had their hands full in working out cot
ton. This plant is very small and un-
healthy for the time of year. Corn is
looking we'll but needs work. From the
appearance of cotton some of our farmers
would predict hard times again next year /;
but we have one who says that the hard
times are always caused by the farmers
themselves. We refer to Mr.. B. H. Greer,
who lives three miles below this place.
Mr.. Greer a few years since bought a
small farm, consisting of thin ridge land,
between this place and Honea Path. He
has raised a family and paid for his farm
out of it's produce. He bought supplies
altogether for cash, and to-day has six
bales of unsold cotton. AS an index to
the management of his farm we give the
following: Since May 1G, 1885, up to the
same date this year, he has sold to Messrs.
Stringer e. Poore 1921 pounds of butter.
During nine months of this time he milk
ed two COWS, the other three months one.
This amount is over and above that which
he used at home from the same COWS.
Thus we see that there is not SO much in
the 'times" as there is in the man. All
the Farmers Conventions that may be
called cannot make the farmers prosper
Gus as long as they farm merely to make
living. There must be that interest and
zeal in it which has been illustrated in
the above example if they would be pros
porous. w. Z. B.

Anderson's Amateurs.

The Greenville News, in its comments
on the opera, "Mikado." which was rem
dered in that city last week by local
troupe, assisted by several of Anderson's
amateurs, speaks of Andcrson's represen-
tatives as follows:
"Pooh Bah-Lord High Everything
Elsc-on whom so much of the work and
responsibility falls, was done by j. G.
Cunningham, of Anderson, and well
done. Mr.. Cunningham is an excellent
bass and manages his voice we'll. His
singing and acting contributed much to
the success of the evening.
"Dr. Frierson, of Anderson, represent
ed Nanki-Poo admirably. His tenor is
not strong in solo but goes we'll with sup
port, and in the duet with Yum Yum was
especially pleasant. His management OF
the business of the part and acting gener,
ally were excellent throughout.
"Dr. S. NJ. Orr, of Anderson, was re-
markably good Mikado and brought out
everything there is in The part. His
"Object all Sublime" was one Of the
strongest features of his rendition.
"Ko-Ko, as given by T. F. Hill, Of An.
derson, was irresistibly funny. Almost
all the life of the opera depends on Ko-Ko
and Mr.. Hill met his responsibility fully,
eliciting continuous roars of laughter and
winning enthusiastic applause
