A DAWSON INDUSTRY
Is Threatened BY a Bill That Is
Now in The Hands Of Congress.

Now in The Hands Of Congress.
Dawson has considerable interest
in the lard bill now in the hands
Of the Committee on Agriculture
of Congress. The cotton seed iol
mill here employs a number of
hands, uses a large amount of cot
ton seed and turn out a product,
tie gross value of which is great.
AS an important industry of the
city anything directly affecting it
must naturally have an effect of a
corresponding nature, to certain
extent, on the prosperity of Daw-
son.
a gentleman we'll posted in the
cotton seed oil busidess told News
reporter that the passage of the
bill would result in the almost total
annihilation of a distinctivelv
Southern industry which has been
in existence for a number of years,
and for no other purpose than to
give the West a monopoly with
its hog lard. As a result the price
ofthat product would be increased
and another direct tax really lev
led on the public for the bencht
of a few under the thin disguise IF
looking after the public health.
Twenty years ago. he contln-
ued, "cotton seed on the planta.
tons was regarded as something Of
a nuisance, and in many instances
planters paid cut money to have
the seed hauled off their farms.
Now cotton seed is a source of rev.
enue to the farmers, and no in
considerable amount is received
from its sale. l have had plan
ters in Georgia to tell me that the
money derived from the sale of
their seed would almost pay tor
making their crop, and in every
instance the receipts from this
source 60 long way towards pay
ing for the making OF the crop.
Once let this bill pass and the far
mers Of the COTTON raising States

consequently, direct interest in
assisting to defeat the measure.
Gas to the matter of health, he
remarked in the conclusion "six>
ty to seventy-fve per cent. OF all
the refined cotton seed oil manufac
tured is used in making compound
lard, and there can be no question
as to the relative merit Of hog prod

"THE SPECTRE PITCHER"
1t Has Stood at the Wen For Years.

1t Has Stood Mt the Well For Years.
II you ever pass over the South
Carolina Railway, between Aus
gusta and Charleston, some one
will perhaps ask you. as you draw
near the little village of Langley
"Have you seen the spectre
pitcher
Perhaps the conductor will ask
you, if you are lady, for the com
ductors are prodigiously courteous
to the sex, and will want TO show
you everything, even the particu-
lar spook which only his road can
boast. Buff he doesn't, the train
hand may, or the news butcher, or
some passenger. You will hardly
pass Langley without having the
spectre pitcher pointed out to you.
Is ii real pitcher? is the first
question you ask, as you see it
standing there on the post at the
well. And then, in your nine'
tenth century doubt as to all
things superstitious, you ask, has
it been there as many years as you
are told to believe; and is it true
that no one has tried to move il
If you will inquire you will find
that great many believe that the
pitcher is chained t. the spot by
some mysterious power, some en-
chantment, and all will tell you,
with slight variations, the following
story:
Some years ago in a little cottage
near by lived family that got
their daily supply of water
from the we'll, and carried it away
in a little pitcher, the one that
stands on the post now. One
night, it is said, the supply OF wa
ter gave out. A thunder storm
was raging without, but water was
needed. Who would 90 to the
we'll and draw it, amid the light
ming flashes, as the thunder bolts
beat upon the earth, as in the bat>
tie of the Titans?
"I'll CO." said the sturdy farmer.
I'm not afraid OF the lightning"
And he went out into the storm.
The wife and daughter within the
cottage heard the creak OF the
wiudlass as The bucket was lowered
luto the well, and again as it was
drawn up.
Then came louder peal, and a
brighter fash, and then a rapid
whirr;ng sound as if the windlass
had slipped from the hand of the
drawer, and the bucket was rush.
ing down the yell, The women
hurried to the door, All was black
But another flash lighted the
gloom-and there at the well lay
the man who had delied the storm
The women rushed toward him,
groped in the darkness, found his
face and breast with their SILVER
ing fingers he was dead.
The pitcher, the next morning,
was found on the post. One oil
the neighbors, who had come tc
bury the dead, tried to lift it. Il
seemed glued He tried again,
and his arm dropped paIsied to hi:
side.
Ever since then the pitcher has
been let alone. 1t is said that the
best marksman cannot sheet true
to hit the pitcher or post. The
cottage has been deserted, the wei
has cayed in, and the post has fal'
len over toward the gaping hoe
where the fresh, cool water of the
well once lay cleaning so near t.
the top. But on the slantin2
edge, the pitcher stands as securely
as if it had been carved there.
No one is bold enough to attemp
to take the Spectre p tcher" from
its lightning-guarded perch.

operation Of inhalation on Charles T..

OF the Smithfeld Street NJ. +. church.
The little fellow was suffering from diph-
iberia and could hardly breathe. The
mouth of the patient was distended by a
gag, which also dilated the throat. A
cone shaped silver tube was then inserted
in the windpiPe, but so placed as not to
interfere with the ~esophagus or passage
to the stomach. Immediate relief was
experienced, and constitutional treat
ment Of the disease was begun.
The old method of making an lncision
in the wind pipe and placing the tube
therein had the very dangerous and OBJ
~jectionable feature of permitting the cold
air to enter the lungs, which in many in
stances produces pneumonia, BY the
other NEAR the inhalations are warmed

and that was i'm a case where IA child's air
passage was almost closed by Group. The
tube is inserted by means of curved for
ceps. The new treatment was invented
by a celebrated physician Of Chicago,
and has been in use only two years.

Parisians are interested in a singularly
learned seal that has just made his debut
at the Fernando circus. 1t came from
Russia when quite young, having been
sent to n tishmongcr in Orleans. Instead
of killing him and selling him in pieces
to his customers, the tishmonger took
compassion on the queer little animal
and made n household pet of him.
At the end OF six years Phopho, as the
seal Is called. grew to be n big fat fellow.
He always came when he vas called and
cheerfully gave his paw, or, rather, hi,
hipper, to everybody that he wa intro.
duced to. In addition TO this evidence
of good breeding, he displayed remark,
able talents and skillfully performed feats
that would make an imperfectly edu.

Every lover of pie-and almost every
person, either secretly or openly, does
love pie-will be interested in the fateful
fact that pie timber" under which gen
eric term is comprehended dried apples,
peaches, plums, squash, pumpkins, etc,
is scarce. Evaporated apples have gone
up 20 or 80 per cent. since the beginning
of the year. Canned apples, pie peaches,
and the product of the golden skinned
pumpkin and the sober squash are all
higher, and have an upward tendency.
The raw material for an important and
adult American industry may not be in
the bony clutch of famine, but it is in a
condition which every thoughtful lover
of pie must regard with serious concern.
