Children in those days would sit
down and eat dry bread cheerfully
when you told them that it was to
have something to send to their papa
in the army.
I believe that folks loved each other
more during the war; it seems that
way to me. You spread out a lot Of
good things at Browns house now and
so to packing them away, and believe
in my soul that the children would
have fits. 1t was not so in the days
when these boxes were fixed up for
the army. The little ones would join
with the mother, and as hungry as
they sometimes were, they had no
desire to touch it for themselves. 1t
must all go to papa in the army, and
it is one Of the sad things Of the war
that so many Of these boxes were lost.
But the South will be fixed in the
next war with some other country
when the factories come, and we can
all rejoice in that if nothing else.

The Corn And Wheat Weevil.

It is very simple thing to keep
the weevil out of the wheat and corn
if you will adopt the proper preven-
tive. On this subject the Southern
Cuztivator for September gives the
following: There is practically but
one method Of destroying insects in
stored grain, and this is by the use Of
bisulphide of carbon. This substance
is liquid, Of slightly yellorish
tinge. If placed in an open vessel it
evaporates readily, and the fumes are
heavier than air.
In the literature of bisulphide, it
is said to be an explosive substance.
1 think the word "explosion" is some
what wrongly used in this connection,
"inAammable" being correct. It will
take fire if touched by a match, lighted
cigar and the like, but if little care
is taken not to bring it near any sort
of fire, there is no danger in it's use.
The method of using the bisulphide
is very simple, as it consists Of but
pouring the substance over the top Of
the grain. 1t was formerly left in
open dishes to evaporate, but this is
not the best mode Of application.
The amount to be used will vary ac-
cording to the tightnesa of the crib
or bin in which the grain is placed.
But, in general, it may be said, that
it will take pound Of the bisulphide
to treat fifty bushels Of grain if the
grain is in tight place. If corn is to
be treated when in an open crib, the
amount required will be somewhat
more than this.
The cost Of the bisulphide depends
upon where it is obtained. At the
drug stores it sells anywhere from
twenty cents to a dollar pound. 1t
is best obtained direct from the man.
ufacturer, or else ordered through
your local druggist, with the under
standing that the purchaser is not to
pay over sixteen cents per pound.
In the case Of corn, the crib should
be filled first before the treatment,
rather than several treatments after
each few loads, etc. The bisulphide
being heavier thar air, sinks at once
through the grain, and kills all the
insects within. Fire Of any sort
should not be brought near until the
odor Of the bisulpbide has passed
away. Rats at times also destroy a
great deal of grain, but the occasional
use of the bisulphide poured into
their runs will effectually clear them
out.-Edgefeld Advertiser

On motion of Mr.. F. H. Hyatt, Of
Columbia, it was resolved that the
Road Congress hold annual sessions
in Columbia each year during the first
week of the session Of the Legisla-
ture. It is the purpose of the Con-
gress thus to decide upon legislation
desired, and be in position to urge the
passage Of the same by the Legisla-
ture.
Before adjourning several members
of the Convention expressed them
selves as being delighted at what they
had learned at the Congress-, and said
they were determined to go home and
work with great vigor for good roads.
President Scott thanked the Con-
gress for the courtesy with which he
had been treated and asked the mem

Citations for the purpose Of building
better roads throughout the State.
A resolution recommending the for

| believe that the women of those days
were not unlike the women of today; they
wanted to be recognized by the spirit OF
patriotism, and following the example of
the Sons. met together and called them
selves the Daughters. We know that the
order was a strong bond between the Sons
and Daughters. They used to meet to-
getber, and under the genial influences of
the tea parties of those days discussed
the trials of the time.
Heading the list we find the names of
Polly and Elizabeth nawton, daughters
of Robert LawtOn. | have always heard
that the first meeting was helu at their
fathers house in Newport. Polly has
lived and will continue to live as a
famous revolutionary belle. General

At any rate when ever she has had money enough to pay the miserable rental which would se- cure the place she has made it a prac- tice to live, for at least month each in the rooms in which the murders were committed, and to haunt the accursed spots on which the street butcheries took place.

so far worn away the moral class dis tinction that the mother of daughters who drops into the pub" for social glass of bitter beer, taking her whole brood with her, in no way resents the presence of the frail sisterhood, nor objects to her daughters observations of the miserable spectacle.
 The result of all this was strangely illustrated the other day. On High street, Oldgate, in the Whitechapel dis trict, is cigar factory, fanlxed by a public house. happened to be near when the days work was ended, and the fourteen girls employed in making cigars passed out. Every one, without exception, turned into the public house. 1t was as much part of these hard working girls lives to spend portion of the day in this low saloon as it was for them to spend part of it on the benches. A statement which my com panion made, when 1 remarked the af- fair with surprise, seemed to me to be too dreadful to be true.
 "Of course they go to the public house." he said, and of course they drink as much there as they can pay for. The vile influences of such place is only one of the vile influences which surround them from the day of their birth to that of their death. It is prob ably the worst of them all, and very likely does more than anything else to make virtue almost unknown among the young women of the London slums. 3
 'sYou do not mean to say that even the working girls down here are habit ually depraved?" I exclaimed
 Quite so. may be wrong, but I will venture to state that there is not one in that group of fourteen-and you just saw them come from their work who would not sell herself without hesitation for half sovereign. These people have no home life as your poor know it in America. This is the region of the horrible one-room crowding. They cannot possibly know what mod esty means, and the only thing that keeps them from the streets as trade is the fact that there are so many there already that they could not make a liv- ing at it. l do not mean to say that there are no pure women down here sometimes the whitest blossoms will spring from the most horrid of corrup-

most prominent spot. Jack the Ripper probably loitered in their whereabouts as he selected his victims from the mis- erable procession that is ever passing them. That his example made its inn press on the neighborhood in way other than frightening the women is shown by the fact that two women have been killed in somewhat similar ways not far from his old haunts since I have been in London. This was told to me by reliable persons, and 1 visited the scene of one of the murders on Butler street before the crime was twenty-four hours old. Yet not word has appeared in the London papers about the mur- ders. The police here are fond of keep ing their own counsel.
 We went first to a Whitechapel lodg- ing house, within block or two of the scene of the first Ripper murder. It is one of the few of the old style left. Since Jacks flashing knife attracted the attention of the world to this dis trict and its conditions, most of the lodging houses which formerly accom- modated men and women indiscrimin- ately have been forced to confine their business to enc sex. But in half dozen or so of the places the old GUS tom is still permitted, on the ground that the homeless are as likely to be husband and wife as to be single and that they must have places to sleep. The police watched these lodging houses with even closer attention than they devote to the others, however, and see to it that their patrons are not young. The result is such collection of tottering wreclss of manhood and toothless, grooming hags as Dante might have drawn ideas for his In ferno" from.

 Now, Levi, you know that every bloody thing in the whole place is stolen goods, now don't you?" finally queried the detective.

 ssWell, all I've hot to say is that vou ought to have been raided long ago. Now, don't ever let me find such q bloody curiosity shop here again, or 1 Il make you take the whole bloomino graft up to be identified" responded Mr. Thick.

the minutest gossip of the bloody kill ings. 1t is her theory that the mur- ders were done by a sailor who went on long voyage after he finished his first series and will come back before long to begin a second. She hailed the news of the recent Butler street murder with a kind of glee, assuming instantly that her prophecy had come true. But after she had gone posthaste to the scene of the crime and examined its gruesonae details, she sorrowfully an- nounced that she was wrong, and that the crime had been done by less skill full hands than Jacks. Mag is one of the characters of Whitechapel-horri- bly, in keeping with the place. She followed us when we visited one or two of the murder rooms, and her explana- tions could not be suppressed. She is probably right in one theory which the police cry out against, viz, that one of the murders was actually witnessed by 8 constable, who was too badly fright ened to interfere with it's commission or to attempt to capture the murderer after he had finished. The crime was done in room opening off small courtyard at the end of 8 short blind alley. This court is not more than twelve by sixteen feet in size, and constable was surely standing in it while the murder and it's following horrors were going on. Add to this fact the others that the man could not have done the work without light, and that the window of the room was curtainless, and the proof that the crime was actually witnessed by that cowardly constable seems complete. But, after all, it is scarcely fair to ex- pect a man who works for thirty shil- lings a week to risk his life in an en- counter with such desperate cut throat as Whitechapels historic mur- derer must have been.
