Turpentine Farmer in this section to
the new advertisement of Mr.. w. J.
Keenan, of Columbia and think it would

He makes prompt returns with less
cost and refers to the farmers them

Don't, WE PRAY TuEE.-A man for

have not Il word Of protest, but we do
protest against being crushed out of

ANOTHER WONDER.-The AbbeYill

ANOTHER WoNDER.-The AbbeYille
Messenger says: "We have had an op-
portunity lately to see an exhibition of
the power possessed by Mrs. G. Henry
Moore, resembling that of Lula Hurst.
Mrs. Moore performs all the tests given
by Lula Hurst and others that the lat
ter never. tried. For instance, by sim
ply laying hands upon the top Of table
she could make it move so that three
strong men could not hold it still, the
table being broken in the effort to hold
it. This is only one of the test she
gave. We are well satisfied that it is
not muscular strength. In the first
place Mrs. Moore has no object in de-
ceiving the public, and if she had is too
true a woman to do so. In the second
place we are satisfied from the actual
trial and experience of the force" If
the lady will come to Orangeburg some
of our experts will soon find out the
cause of her power. Lula Hurst was
here only a short time before they
knew all about her mysterious force,
so they said.

August MeteorS.

The best behaved of all the meteor
streams holds il anniversary on the 10th,
and the few days spreceding and follow
ing. The Tears of st. Lawrence, il is
called, because it makes its appearance
on the day sacred TO the memory Of that
August saint. We call this zone the best
behaved of the family, because the fiery
rain never fails 10 fall, and no one is dis
appointed who looks skyward when the
shower is due and the clouds are kind.
The tiny atoms of which il is composed
are sure to iinpinge against the earth's
atmosphere. burst into yellow stars, and
descend with a train of silvery light. The
August meteors consist of a swarm of
particles following comet ii. 1862, in its
orbit. The d~isintegrating process has
been carried on 80 long that the debris
OF the comet are nearly evenly scattered
throughout the gigantic elipse in which
they wander. One extremity of the zone
crosses the earth's orbit, and the other
extends far beyond Neptune. The earth
encounters this meteor zone on the 10th
Of August, and countless meteors falling
from the skies attest the fact that the
earth is then plunging full tilt through
the swarming atoms. Last wear there
was a II unusually fine show of the Persids.
a. they are called. II is well to be on
the watch for the coming event, for such
is the uncertainty of operations in the
cometic family that a grand outburst is
not impossible al any time. Therefore
observers should diligently watch the
northeastern sky and the constellation
Perserus, the radiant point about which
the meteors co~ngregate. The earth will
plunge into the meteor zone rs surely as
she turns upon her axis. and, if the fiery
shower is unusually brilliant. observers
will be on hand to see the exhibition and
count the meteors as they fall. Only
those that start from Perserus are Persids.
The sky is all aglow with other meteor
streams, rsidiatine from other ~constella-
tons; for more tkan a million meteors.

How it Feels to be scalped.


A sick and sorry looking specimen of
humanity stepped from the passenger
train last night, says the Chico, Call
Chronicle, and climbed into = waiting
wagon and was driven 10 the country.
His name was Samuel Neff. He is a
man Of about thirty years Of age, and his
parents reside in Pine Creek. Young Neff
is just home from Arizona, where he has
been prospecting in the mines, and act
ing as a scout on the hunt for Indians.
Unfortunately for him he found the muir
derous red devils, and they almost made
mince.meat of him. One day while rid
ing througha canyon he was shot through
the shoulder and fell from his horse. His
assailants, finding that he wa not dead,
tortured him o~Htrageously. They cut
gashes in his face and all over his body,
and applied fire TO his feet and hands,
and ended their brutality by scalping
him. He suffered untold ~agonies, and
prayed that death might relieve him. Fl
nally he fell into a faint, and upon wax
ing he found himself being kindly cared
for in a miners cabin. The miner had
picked him up and carried him a long
distance on horseback. Neff suffered
weeks of excruciating pain and raved
with a fever, and as soon as he was able
| To travel he took the road for his fathers
home.
Last evening a Chronicle reporter asked
Neff how it felt to have his hair lifted.
1T is a dreadful sensation" he said.
| "One thinks, us the skin is beingtorn from
the skull, that his feet are Coming right
up through his body TO the top of his
head. Oh, it is terrible. Ii is 10 pain
full that you cannot utter a cry, and thou
sands of stan dance before your eyes.
You imagine red hot needles are darting
in and out of your flesh, and you clasp
your hands so closely hat the finger
