ton of the skin of the face, which
assumes blotched, dirty appearance.
First TO take on this appearance is the
skin of the nose and forehead. Autop-
sizes of those who die from ammonia
poisoning reveal a dark hue on the mu-
Gus membrane lining the stomach and in
testines.
As an agent for causing death by slow
poisoning, ammonia is one of the most
certain and the most difficult of detec
ton, owing to its volatile nature. This
qualt: has led physicians to believe that
some of the mysterious deaths that have
taken place in the history of modern and
medieval crime are due to ammonia. 1t
Is known now that months have elapsed
between the first symptoms of sickness
and the death of person from ammonia
poisoning. On the other hand, death
has resulted i'm four minutes from the
time large draught of ammonia has
been swallowed. 1t has been found that
in cases of gradual absorption of ammo
mia in the human system that there is IA
general elimination of healthy oxidation
of the blood, and a consequent lowering of
the bodily strength. In the cases of i'm
mediate poisoning, death comes with
frightful agony, as in the case of Har-
rowitz. Blood gushed from his nose and
mouth.
Statistics in England put ammonia
thirteenth in frequency in the list of poi
sons. Alexander Winter Byth, medical
officer of health in the st. Marylebone
district, London, cites thirty cases of
poisoning by ammonia swallowed for the
purpose of committing suicide, or admin
istered with the purpose of committing
murder, or absorbed unconsciously in
food. OF the suicidal cases six were
fatal. OF the twenty accidental cases
twelve were fatal. OF cases of murder
with ammonia DR.. Blyth notes two, both
of them children.
The name of the chemical agent am
mOnia dates back to remote antiquity
In Europe the chief source of the supply
of ammonia up to the latter part of the
last century was Egypt. 1t was made
originally from camel's dung collected in
the neighbornood of the temple of Jupiter
Ammon-hence the name ammonia. The
droppings were collected in March and
April by Arabs, then dried and burned
and the SCOT collected. This was sold to
merchants and ammonia was collected
from the SCOT by a chemical process. II
is now almost entirely made from crude
gas liquor in illuminating gas manufac-
, tories. Only half as much ammonia is
made in summer as in winter. Hence
ammonia is always more costly in sum
mer. Furthermore, ammonia is extern
, sively used in the manufacture of artific
al ice. Ammonia is one of the product:
of putrefactiOn of animal organic matter
{ 1t is found in sewage and in stable drain
, age. Chemists measure the amount o.
| sewage contamination by the presence O
{ ammonia. By tests now employed on,
part of ammonia can be detected in 200,
| 000,0 parts of water. One part of am
monia in 50,000,0 900 parts of water is suf
. ficient to cause the water to be condemn
ed as unsafe New York sun.

AMMONIA AND SUICIDES.

OF the number of those seeking suicide
by swallowing some form of poison,
probably there are few who have sought
to kill themselves by means of ammonia.
Never theless ammonia, although it is the
active agent in most of the salts sold to
women for their gilt-decorated and per-
fumed scent bottles, is poisonous when
taken internally in concentrated form.
To attest this there have been recently
in New York several cases, the most re-
cent being that of Herman Harowitz, of
which Deputy Coroner Jenkyns said that
death took place in comparatively
short time after the ammonia was taken.
In another case, that of child, DR.. Jen-
kyns said death resulted in five minutes
after swallowing the ammonia solution.
There are on record also cases of slow
poisoning from ammonia, administered
with intent to commit murder. Further
more the appearance of workmen in qua
no factories, where ammonia is set free
by grinding guano, has been noted, and
in every case there is an unmistakable
symptom of poisoning. This is discolora-

MCDOUGALLS' SHEEP DIP.

McDougalls' non-poisonous sheep DIP and

terminator on sheep, cattle, horses, dogs,
poultry etc, has been used with great success
In this county for several years. 1t instantly
eXterminates all ticks, lice and maggots is
the only true specific for scab, and finely
stimulates the growth OF the fleece, making
its use very profitable. When used at II
special strength it also waterproofs the fleeces,
thus affordng the animals great protection
from cold and wet In the United states,
Great Britain and many places abroad ii is
now generally adopted-having to a large
extent displaced the use of tobacco, arsenic,
lime and sulphur, and poisonous mixtures.

EHi0EHCES or THRIFT

The News is glad to see so many
OF its good farmer friends getting ia
shape to pay more attention to the
health, comfort and enjoyment of their
families.
In many little ways this is being
shown. The people generally are
better dressed, their houses are being
improved, and are taking on a snug
ger, more home>lil look.
These things point moral, which
is that our county is inhabited by
people who are pro psring, at least,
reasonably well, and who realize that
their families should have the benefit
of it.
We hope soon to see the homes OF
our farming class emhellisbed with
flowers and shrubs. Did YOU ever
stop TO think how much enjoyment a
single dollar could give in the shape
OF lovely flowers? What Is there that
adds more to the appearance of
home than welI~kept yard dotted
here and there with beds or borders
OF warm tinted ,sweet-scentcd flowers?
Then, aside from the pleasure it
gives the family, think o the iDAu-
ence it would have on families pros,
pecting for new homes. Such evil
Gences of an enlightened community
are never lost upon a man in search
of new home.
Clean up the yards, patch up the
fences, plant trees, hrubs and flow
ers, and enjoy lite.

A LEADING planter in Georgia, and
good Allianceman, said the other
day. q don't take any stock in
these resolutions and kind OF semi
official talk about eurtailing the area
planted in cotton. 1t is all bosh, and
does more harm than good. There
are enough men mean enough, if they
thought there was going to be any
curtailment OF the crop, to double up
and make more cotton than they ever
did. The right thing to do is for our
farmers to look out tor some other
crop to take the place Of cotton. Try
tobacco, hay, stock, anything but cot,
ton, but plant some OF that. There
Is no money in any CROP that costs a
third oft value to gather it, and
more than two-thirds OF it value to
make aud market it.

THERE HUST BE 4 cHSFCE.

The panic OF 1873 cannot be COM
pared to the present condition OF ali
fairs, says the Oconee Enterprise.
Then the people were not so badly
in debt as now. They had very little
money, but creditors were few rs
compared with the present There are
msny things we can take into con-
sideration, which have brought gen.
eral depression but one among the
most important, is the contraction Of
the currency of the country. If mons
ey was plentiful thourands and tens
of thousands Of people would con.
sumo cotton goods that are not pur,
chased at all on account of the
want of means 10 purchase We
speak of cotton goods particularly
because that brings the matter home
to our people. Contracting squaez~
ing and pinching has inqugurated a
credit system which has done more
towards bankrupting the massts than
any other single agency. Cheap
credit based on crops not grown has
urged on extravaganza. It has done
worse, it has placed the labor of the
country boss over the men who pay
the taxes, and support the govern
ment, and kept our social fabric in q
compact shape, 1t has bodily taken
the farming interest out Of the hands
OF intelligent and thrifty white men
and put it under the control of the
lazy, thriftless and most vicious class
OF our population.
In tact, such a thing as agricultur-
al progression is one of the institu-
tions of the dim past. Making one
crop to buy everythins-to the neg
lect OF food products-has brought the
country to The very gateway of uni
versal bankruptcy. Net one man in s
hundred, whether merchant or pro.
fessional man, in the black belt Of oul
state, if compelled to meet all hi
obligations now, could do it i
the gallows stared him in the face
The worst part of the picture is tina
the future is gloomy. Last year every.
body thought business would be bet
ter this year, but it is not so.
There must be a radical change
| fla man can't be a merchant he mus
be clerk, if he cant be a farmer b,
must be a laborer; in other words, i
he can't run business of his own he
must work tor somebody who can.
The loafer must 90.
The credit system mist 60.
The tenant system must 90.
The all cotton plan must go,
| Extortion prices must CO.
The plan of having your smoke
houses in the west must go.
On the other hand:
Everybody must 20 to work.
The cash system must be adopted

Crops must be diversifed,and plen-
ty 10 eat raised at home. Low price

The Battles of the Futurc.

1t is becoming more or more appar-
ent that the battles of the future,
whether on land or sea. will be largely
contests of machines with machiues.
The development OF modern weapons
has gone on ut such pace that 1t
seems not unreasonable to predict that
before long what will be required of men
who fight battles will be. more than
anything else, thorough knowledge
of mechanism; liz short they will be, to
a great extent. mechanics and en-
gineers. Already the modern naval
vessel has become what may be called
simply fighting machine. all its space
not required for the men and officers
being taken up with intricate and COM
plicated machinery for doing things
which in the old days were done by the
men. or left undone. Indeed. the
modern war-ship has grown so rapid
ly. that ii is said many of the older
officers Of the navy are meeting with
considerable difficulty in keeping
abreast of the improvements, and that
the younger men. fresh from the study
OF science. and with more ambition to
stir them on to further study. are COM
ing rapidly TO the front in consequences.
1t seems that future naval victories are
TO be won not by the side that has the
strongest and bravest men necessarily,
but by the side which has its men best
protected from the machines of the
enemy, and is itself provided with
superior machines. All this. of couSse.
will inevitably bring more and more
into prominence the machinist and
engineer. and it is beginning to be
recognized that some additional effort
must be made to secure the best of both
on war vessels.-dmeric9R Machini3t.
