RUM0RS OF A NEW ROAD
From Knoxville to Anderson
George Vanderbilt Gin IT,

SAVANNAH, Sept. 11.-A special
to the Morning News from Augusta
says: It is rumored here to-day in
railroad circles that George Van
derbilt, who owns SO many thous-
ands of acres of land in North
Carolina, is about to enter the field
of railroad building as a means of
getting some of his timber to
market. 2
The line which it is said he will
build, is from Knoxville to Ander-
son, S. c., via Walhalla. A large
part Of the line is already graded
and should Vanderbilt build the
road, it will decrease the distance
between Cincinnati and the South
Atlantic Coast over 100 miles. The
road, together with the Knoxville,
Cumberland Gap and Cincinnati
railroad and the Port Royal and
Western Carolina will give an air
line from Cincinnati to Augusta.

The Arab HOrse-His Treatment.

Major General Tweedlc.
In the desert the mares and foals
and stations stand day and night
before their master. There are no
grooms in our sense. Black slaves
keep the ground clean, and the
wives and daughters of the tent
folk wait upon the mares, and ro-
nance becomes reality when a
dropping mare or motherless foal
is taken into the best part of the
tent to be nursed. In villages the
mares shed is close to the habita-
tion in which the family life pro-
ceeds. The result is that food and
fellowship are among the first ideas
which are associated in tho minds
of Arab horses with the human
figure. The mares turn as kindly
to those around them as Gustavus
did to Dugald Dalgetty. The
youngling takes it's cue from the
dam, and is not afraid of that with
which they are all familiar.
The colt, which is handled by
everyone from the first, and ridden
as soon as he is strong enough, is
sure to prove docile and obedient.
Even when full allowance is made
for the advantages ofearly tuition,
Arab men deserve some credit for
the fine temper Of Arab horses.
The most patient colt may have to
resist its rider if either his anger
be excited or too much of his own
way be given to him.
A little incident which we lately
witnessed IN a crowded thorough
fare in Bagdad may here be worth
introducing. An awkward groom
had tumbled off the back of
playful flly, and left her free to
career hlther and thither. Among
the spectators there was nobody
who blamed the flly. A red-beard.
ed Persian, whose bookstall was
kicked into the Tigris, had the
senses to curse the biped and not
the quadrupod. When she was
and the end of her halter
rope was put into the groom's hand
by by stander, the man merely
jumped on her back and rode
quietly away.

in the Peninsula so inferior to thai

in the Peninsula so inferior to that
of the French, from want of order,
that he was reluctant to use it un-
less when in superior strength; and
he said, speaking of Waterloo: {:
"Napoleon had his cavalry in order,
mine would gallop, but could not
preserve their order"
1t was this gallant but undis-
ciplined propensity to get out of
hand which in the battle of Water
loo, as the issue Of a single charge,
reduced Lord Uxbridge's splendid
division of heavy cavalry to a sin
gle squadron. The wild gallop of
the "Third Light" through the
heart of Khalsa camp in the even
ing dusk of Ferozesbah, like the
charge of the Light Brigade down
the north valley of Balaclava, ''was
magnificent, bnt il was not war;"
Einglake innocently expresses his
admiration of the prolongation of
front in Scarlett's heavy cavalry.
'occasioned by the circumstances
that "the two ranks which had be-
gun the advance were converted
by degrees into one.''

When Mr.. Moody was preaching
in Washington last spring he as
serted one day that if Jesus Christ
should return to this world in per-
son and appear in that city He
would not be welcomed, and that
the people would not consent to be
governed by Him. He asked the
audience if they would receive
him, and, to emphasize his asser-
ton, he appealed to an aged color
ed man sitting near the pulpit:
"Would you vote for Him?" The
reply came promptly: "Twouldn't
do no good. They wouldn't count
my vote." Mr.. Moody at once
changed the subject.

Baron Hirsch has sent some
three or four thousand Russian
Jews to the Argentine Republic,
and he hopes to have q Jewish
community there of 100000 within
ten years. He sends them out in
companies of fifty families, each
provided with a rabbi and a doctor,
and he expects them to settle in
villages, giving a special tract for
each company. He declares that
they do well as farmers. Nor have
we much immediate hope for the
improvement of the Jews that are
now going in such numbers to
Palestine. Within the last few
years, 100000 Jews have entered
the Holy Land, and that number
will be greatly increased in the
next ten years.

The annual review of the News
and Courier shows that during the
past year more hay was sold in
Charleston than in any year, save
one, in the last twenty years; more
corn, by $4,000 bushels, than in
twenty years, and more oats than
in any year but one, in twenty
years. 1t is true that more bacon
was raised IN the State last year
than in any year since the war;
but the fact remains that 1,640
carloads or 100000 pounds of
bacon were brought from the West
and sold in Charleston during the
last twelve months. The hay was
brought from the North and the
corn and bacon from the West.
None of it was made in South
Carolina and a great deal of it was
sold to South Carolina farmers.

"The Girl / Left Behind Me-"

Isle of Wight Express.
Although the song "The Girl
Left Behind Me" is so we'll known,
it's authorship is obscure. No one
can tell who wrote either the words
or the music. In this respect it is
like a good many songs, notably
the old ballad of "The Baiiiff's
Daughter of Islington." The song
"The Girl l Left Behind Me" has
been the soldiers and sailors 10TH
to-leave for nearly a century, and
it has been SO long played on men,
of-war as they weigh anchor, and
by the hands of regiments as they
quit towns where they have been
quartered, that its omission would
be regarded as slight upon the
fair sex.
The song is doubtless of Irish
origin. Chappell, however, puts in
an English claim to the air, al
though he admits it may be Irish.
This authority thinks that it was
probably written about 1858, when
there were encampments along the
coast, where many tunes of this
sort originated. Bunting supports
the Irish theory. He says the air
WAS taken down from an Irish
harper, named O'Neil, in 1900, the
author and date being unknown.
The song has been found in a
manuscript dated 1910, but its
true origin is yelled in obscurity.

the test. Large quantities of sea-
soned wood were procured and
piled in long row covering about
thirty of the metal plants and a
fire kindled at the windward end.
Stanley and his entire party watch
ed the experiment, and had the
satisfaction of demonstrating that,
beyond the blackening of the
foliage by smoke, the intense heat
to which the metal plant had been
subjected had done 10 harm to the
plant itself. At the expiration of
a week it was found that the rain
had removed nearly all traces of
the fire and the plants were ap-
parently as healthy as ever. The
roots present peculiarities not
found in other plants. They
branch out from the trunk on all
sides like a vine and are usually
from six to eight inches beneath
the surface of the soil. Regularly
at every seven or eight inches the
root branches and at this juncture
grows a peculiar pair of round,
concaved discs, hinged
like the shells of clam
at the point of juncture with the
root. These discs leave their con-
vex sides outward and usually re-
main above half open until they
encounter metal or metal ore, when
they gradually close, and a process
to be similar to electro
plating goes on, the metal being
rapidly absorbed by the plant.

The Chinese-Japanese troubles

AS TO WHITE SUPREMACY.
Senator Butler Writes q Caustic
Letter to Show Where He is At.

Gen. NJ. G. Butler has written
the following letter to the editor OF
the Columbia Register. He uses
vigorous language and hints at
charges of q very grave nature
against public officials:
To the Register: Judging from
the tenor of your correspondence
and your own comments there are
quite a number of "anxious pa
triots" who appear deeply interest
ed in my welfare, and concerned
about my future action. l drop
this line to reassure all "enquiring
friends" that I am not after re-
election to the United State SEN
ate, but am after the corrupt ring
now disgracing the politics of the
State. You dwell with some en-
phasis on the Importance OF. "white
supremacy" You do not exagger-
ate it's Importance, but swhite su-
premacy" does not mean ring rule
and the disfranchisement, Of white
tax.paying voters the destruction,
under the forms of law, of their
rights and liberties and property.
These wrongs do not acquire sane
tity because the perpetrators of
them have white skins.
I did more in one day to estab-
lisL "white supremacy" in South
Carolina, than this entire gang of
corrupt ringsters in their whole
lives, and would do more now to
preserve it, but this ring has pre-
pared the way to destroy "white
supremacy" 1t has severed the re-
Iations of the white people, and will
not permit of reunion because
when the people get together again
and look into their affairs dispas-
sionately, some of these ringsters
will &C the penitentiary. Hence
they vilify and SANDER every man
who exposes their villainies and
corruption.
"White supremacy" is a very
precious thing in this country, and
I would lament the day when it is
lost, if it ever should be, butif we
.arestos be robbed. and %plundered as
we now are, / do not know that the
color of the skin of the robber
makes it more bearable or palliates
the offence.
So "you can say to your people, :"
I am not after the United States
Senate, but the ring and its vii
lainies and that am in for the
war. M. C. BUTLER.

Ne&C SshJ ) 'Vne parry were pre-
pairing to continue the march, the
professor was curious to know if
the coins had remained undisturb-
ed during the night by the super
stitious natives, and on approach
ing the metal plant was astonished
to find it had changed it's color
completely. Instead of being a
beautiful steel color, the stem,
leaves, and what was exposed of
the roots presented the appearance
of newly coined copper coins and
glittered in the morning sunlight
like polished gold. Upon exam
ination it was ascertained that dur
ing the night the strange plant had
absorbed nearly all the copper
coins, with the result of completely
changing it's color. What was left
of the coins in the hole showed
that they were more than half
eaten away or absorbed by the
roots of the metal plant. Not only
was the color changed, but the tex
ture of the plant had undergone a
similar transformation. 1t was
found that the thin ivy-shaped
leaves were now easily bent around
the fingers, would retain any shape
given them and could be readily
cut with an ordinary pair of scis-
sors. Prof. Schelwisch succeeded
in surreptitiously securing several
branches of this wonderful metal
eating plant, and was also success
full in obtaining a good photograph
of it. No further trace of the ex-
istence of the metal plant was
found until the expedition reached
the Uniamesi country, when at the
base of the Nkomabakosi noun
tains a perfect forest of this curious
plant was found. This being an
uninhabited region no difficulty
was encountered in securing speci-
mems to take back to England.
While in this locality ample op-
portunity was afforded the men,

exhaustive study of the habits and
peculiarities of this most remark
able of all species of the vegetable

conducted experiments it was

roots and in few days take on the
characteristics of that metal, and

A METAL-EATING PLANT.
Philadelphia Times.

Prof. Schelwisch, the well-known
naturalist of Bavaria, while trav-
elling with the Stanley expedition
in the heart of Africa for the pur-
pose of studying the fora and
fauna of the Dark Continent, was
the first white man to discover this
strange plant. One day while rest
ing at a small village near the foot
of Mount Milosis, in the Umbopo
region, Prof. Schelwisch noticed a
plant with peculiar steel -colored
foliage, and on examination it was
found that the shrub, although
growing like other plants from the
soil, was practically composed of
iron. The leaves, though very thin,
were bent with great difficulty, and
the twigs and branches resisted
pressure with a force about equal
to the same amount Of iron, and
to secure a leaf it was found to be
to separate it from the
bush with a file. While Prof.
Schelwisch was digging at the base
of this plant for the purpose of
making an examination of its
roots, the natives crowded around

At Anthony, Fla, a few days
ago, William Stranathan, aged -
years, was killed by a stroke Of
lightning just as he was entering
the door of his home. The bolt
struck the boy just above the right
ear, and ran down his right side
and leg, passing out at the foot and
tearing a hole in the floor. From
the boys right ear to the little toe
of the right foot there was a deep
blue streak. His clothing on the
right side was slit as though cut
with sharp knife, and his right
shoe was torn to pieces.
