it is pleasant to know that. a competent
safeguard in the shape of Hostetter's Stom-

Scientific strawberry Growing.
More frequent dry seasons call for a
change Of methods in strawberry
growing. In order to fight the drouth
successfully and do the cultivating
with horses, set the plants 80 or -
inches apart in the row, and plow both
ways. The rows must be straight, 80
that the cultivator may be run close
to the plants. Keep the entire surface
covered with a dust mulch. Growth

A New moldins sand for Casting

A new moulding sand for the pro-
duction Of thick castings, free from
blow holes, has been introduced in
Germany. It is first burnt hard, then
finely ground, and afterward mixed
with sal ammoniac dissolved in water.
It is claimed that, when in casting, the
metal comes in contact with this sand,
a layer Of steam and hydrochlorate Of
ammonia is formed, which prevents
the metal from running through the
sand, and thus insuring the produc.
ton Of q clean casting.

sow Grass Seed Early.

There is quite a diversity Of opinion
among farmers as to the best time to
SOW grass seed, but the general con-
census of opinion seems to be in favor
of early seeding. Seed seldom sprouts
until the warm weather comes, n
when it is sowed early it gets into the
soil by freezing and thawing, n
when it does start it has a good hold
On the SOIL. There is more time now TO
do the work than if delayed until the

PROF. SMITH MAKES A SUCCESSFUL
ExPERIMENT.-The Charlotte Observ-
er of last Thursday contains the fol-
lowing:
The first experiment with the Ro-
entgen Photographic process in the
South has proven successful. At
Davidson college, Prof. Henry Louis
Smith, of the chair of physics, demon
strated to his class the utility of the
cathode ray. A bullet was fired into
the hand of the dead Negro in the
dissectipg room of the medical depart
ment. The photograph discovered the
bullet, the ray penetrating not only
the flesh but the bone, and showing
the ball behind the bone in the mid
die finger.
The bullet from 32-calibre pistol
went obliquely into the palm of the
hand near the wrist. The bullet
lodged under the central bone Of the
palm. The photograph was then
taken with the purpose of showing the
location and the bony articulation of
the hand. The flesh in the photograph
appears as a faint shadowy envelope
bordering the finger bones and con-
Meeting the bones of palm, except very
near the wrist, where the palm bones
are larger and fill almost the whole
space. Looked at from the origin Of
the cathode rays, the bullet, an oblong
slug, was exactly behind the bone,
yet the rays traversed flesh and bone
and give the exact position of the ball,
as we'll as its shape and size. The
bones are much more clearly defined
than in the Yale and Columbia and most
other American photographs which
have appeared in the scientific jour-
mails, but not so distinct as Prof. Roent-
gems.
Coins in a purse, a bullet buried in
cubic inch of fat meat and bird shot
wrapped in many thicknesses of heavy
paper, were photographed with perfect
distinctness.

In Behalf Of Cigarettes.

A delegation from the Timmons-
Vile board of trade is in Columbia to
protest against the threatened action
of the legislature in imposing tax of
25 cents per package on cigarettes.
The delegation claims that the North
ern tobacco manufacturers have threat
ened to boycott the product of this
State p case the bill becomes law,
and as the South Carolina product is
of the quality which is for the most
part suitable for the manufacture OF
cigarettes, the growers in this State
will be greatly damaged unless the
members of the general assembly see
6t to change their minds.

ELLERBE FOR GOVERNOR.

The E1-Comptroller General Formally An
nounced as q Candidate.
From the Columbia Register Of Monday.
General William H. Ellerbe, of
Marion is candidate for governor.
This announcement was made yes
terday by a member of the Colleton
delegation in the general assembly,
who said he was authorized to speak
for General Ellerbe.
This announcement was not unex-
pected, for The Register, several weeks
contained an interview with a legisla-
tor, in which he stated that if Cover
nor Evans became a candidate to sue
ceed Hon. John L. M. Irby in the
United States senate, General Ellerbe
would seek to succeed him as the
tenant of the executive mansion.
While there has been no authorita-
tive declaration from Governor Evans
or any of his friends as to his intentions,
the announcement of Ellerbe's guber-
material aspirations, coming from the
source whence it issues, is almost tanta-
mount to a declaration of Evans's sena-
torial candidacy, as it would be q
waste of time and money for Ellerbe
to run for governor if Evans were seek
ing reelection.
General Ellerbe was one of the orig
inal Reformers and did much to bring
about the triumph of the movement in
1890, when he became comptroller
general, which Office he held four
years, filling it to the entire satisfaction
of the taxpaying public, of whose in
terests he was always vigilant guard
ian.
In 1894 General Ellerbee was can
didate for governor, canvassing the
State and making vigorous speeches
from the stump in every county.
When John Gary Evans defeated him
for the Reform Suggestion" in the
Colleton primary, he gracefully sub
mitted and turned in and helped
Evans defeat DR.. Samps Pope, the
luuepeuucuG Cduuludtc. 4uio Coh-
duct made him many friend, especi-
ally among the supporters and admir-
ers of Evans, who vowed then that if
the chance ever came they would
make amends by supporting him for
governor.
The only other openly avowed Dem
ocratic gubernatorial candidate at
present is Col. R. B. Watson. senator
frem Edgefeld, whose platform is op
position to State support of institu-
tions for higher education.
1t may be that other candidates will
enter the Democratic primary. There
was some talk talk yesterday of the
possibility of General McLaurin's en-
tering the gubernatorial race, but the
general concensus of opinion was that
he would 60 back to congress, in which
he has made particularly good rec
ord. Whoever the Democrats name
as their candidate he will have to beat
that chronic office-seeker, Sampson
Pope, who is reported to be determined
to play lone hand once more.

A Rare Event.

Silver weddings are not uncommon, but silver betrothal falls to the lot of few. A case of that kind is reported from Berlin. The engaged couple first pledged their troth in December, 1869. The young lady's aunt, however, threatened to "cut her off with shil- ling" if she dared to get married. Con- sequently, the loving couple had to forego their most ardent wish, viz: the prospect of speedy marriage. Still, they remained true to their pledge dur ing this interminable courtship. Not long ago tho obdurate aunt departed this life, but by desire of the intended husband the wedding was postponed to enable the couple to celebrate the twenty-ffth anniversary of their be- trOthal.

A MORAL AND NICE BOOK.
What a Young Lady Thought of the New
 Testament.

It was once the good fortune of a Harper's Bazar writer to read, in the island of Fayal, a letter just written by a young lady of Portuguese-English birth who had been reading the New Testament for the first time. It was worth while to see such a letter, for many persons must have felt, first or last, with Thoreau, that it would be a delightful thing for anyone to encoun- ter those wonderful narratives as a fresh discovery, in maturer years, apart from all the too familiar associa- tions of Sunday school and sermon
 Such, as any rate, was this young lady's experience, and her statement of the result was at least little astonish- ing She wrote, in her haif-foreign English, to an American friend in these words. "Dld you ever happen to read a book called the New Testament? If not, I advise you to do so. l have just been reading it one of these days, and I find it very moral and nice book

ANTI-GERMAiN TRUST.
The English No Longer Love Elm
 peror William.

LONDON, Jan. 9.-The chances of war between Great Britain and Ger many are looked upon today as being remote, there being decided tone to back down in the utterances of the German press towards Great Britain.
 The Pall Mall Gazette says: Steps were taken in the highest quarters to obtain by family influence full ex- plantation from Emperor William and communications which have passed have done more than anything to bring about the change in tone in the Ger man official press toward Breat Brit ain." German newspapers, official and semi-official, are tumbling over one another in their anxiety to explain that the tension of the relation was the fault of England.
 The receipt of a dispatch from Pre- toria announcing the extreme demands of the south African republic for the surrender of all British rights and suzerainty, etc., over the Transvaal and Delagoa bay, however, has again changed the complexion of affairs
 In the meantime there is little or no abatement of the anti-German feeling here. At a meeting of the London Radical federation today a resolution was passed demanding the immediate removal of Emperor William from the British army and navy lists.
