Horace Nornet, the artist, vas going

the same compartment with him were
two ladies whom he had never seen be-

stewing Oysters in a street Car.

Monday afternoon a man stepped out
Of Booths place and boarded a south
bound State street car. In his hand he
carried a quart can Of oysters. He took
a seat near the center of the car and
carefully slid the can under the seat
near the stovepipe. The conductor had
deadened his fire with fresh coal while
going around the loop, but as the car
bOwled along State street the coal caught
and burned up right merrily until the
stove lid became red hot. Then the ap-
petizing odor of cooking oysters was dis
tributed through the car. The man who
owned the bivalves did not realize what
was happening until it was too late, and
when he alighted at his destination he
carried home a dry stew instead Of a
quart Of raw selects.-Chicago LIE aid

Especial Correspondence OF the Times

To-day Judge +. G.. M0ncure held the
REGULAR monthly term of his court in Car
oline. The docket consisted Of prelimi-
nary motions and other matters of min
isterial character. Several criminal cases
growing out of the riot at PhenOnola, OF
which the TIMES published, the grand
Jury found indictments against parties
involved in the character OF ielo-
mics. The parties indicted filed pleas OF
not guilty, and the cases were set Tor
trial tomorrow. Mr. Campbell, the man
wounded i'm the fight is reported as being
very in from his injuries. In consc-
ouence the cases Will doubtless be con-
tinued TO await further developments Of
the wound of the unfortunate man.
Since the last term Of that court forty
one writings. powers of attorneys, con-
vevances of real and personal estates
have been admitted 10 record
Mr.. Robert lIudgin, the clerk of the
court. was al his desk, eighty-six years
of age. and has filled that position, with
out exception, since June, 1927.
Among the most interesting features
of the day was the horse-trading theatre.
One old colored man, so enthused, eX-
changed and booted until the animal he
got was unable 10 walk. In agonies,
deep and truly severe, he held his hands
aloft and cried, Lord, what shall | do:

the faithful animals went on, ranging
from seyenty-hye cents TO twenty-five

Yesterday was County Court day, and

The growing popular knowledge Of in
visible impurities and the deepening im-
preston upon the minds of people, the
necessity of q pure water supply, have
caused a demand for q simple and CON
yenient test. AS yet there is no certain
and reliable test by chemical analysis
The following tests are recommended.
"Fill "a perfectly clean quart bottle half
full Of water. cork and shake it, remove
the cork and see if any odor can be de
tectcd at the mouth of the bottle Cork the
bottle again and put intoa warm place for
o few hours. or set into a pan of hot
water for an hour Shake, uncork and
again test by smell. If an unpleasant or
faint on musty odor Is pcrceptible, the
water requires more minute inyestiga
ton. The second simple test is TO eyapOr-
ate a quart of water 90 dryness in a new
tin pan or cup. and note the character OF
the residue, and what happens when it's
strongly heated i'm a metal spoon. Ii the
sediment left after evaporation is small,
and on being burned in metal spoon
gives rise only 10 such an odOr as comes
from burning vegetable matter, the water
is not greatly contaminated with sewage.
But If the sediment is in considerable
quantity, dark in color and burns Civ
ing of the peculiar odor of burning haiI
or other animal matter, then tho water
is foul. New York Graphic.

Steamboat Disasters.

There seems TO be something remark
able about steamboat disasters. While
they are few and far between, years Of
practical experience as on agent has
taught me that they never come singly.
One occurs, and nine out of ten times
two more follow within a few days. il
appears strange. but the records will bear
me out. When we do have a disaster on
the river, it is not generally one followed
by great loss Of life. There are no more
careful or cautious men in professions
than our river boatmcn, and il is rare
thing TO hear of accidents or fatalities.
In late years the most serious disasters
have occurred on the Mississippi river,
and generally como from sinking by
running into unearthcd snags OF old
hulks Of gunboats sunk during the re-
bellion, or are caused by spontaneous
combustion and sparks setting fire TO
cotton aboard the steamers. There are,
however, fewer accidents on steamboats,
than on railroads, and the percentage
last year was about ten steamboat acci-
dents to a hundred on the rail.-Cincin-

There is an evil in the school system of
this county, which the Teachers Association
should do all in its power to remedy-the
miserable country school system. The FREE
TRADER is safe in saying that there are not
ten country schools in the county where any
attempt is being made to grade the pupils
and secure uniformity of text books. Near
ly every pupil forms class by himself, and
there are usually about twenty classes to
hear to every twenty pupils. Per-
hays this is because the text books descend
from father to son, hut whether this he the
case or no. the system is an abominable one
and surely merits attention.
