Governor Ellerbe's Ballot Of thu
Ministers.
Since Governor Ellerbe issued his cir
cular to the preachers, asking thei,
views as to what was best to be
done with the liquor problem, his mail
has been quite heavy with replies.
Up to date he has gotten something
over 600.
From q cursory examination Of one
hundred replies majority favor pro.
hibition, while the rest think the dis.
pensary the best solution.
Rev. james Hestherly, of Green.

hard to hold church meetings on &C
count of the number of stills, and closes

drunkenness, since the beginning o!
the dispenssry, et 100 per cent.
Another one writes: "For the Lords
sake, Governor, don't give Us no high
license nor dispensary; give us pro-
hibition.
It was q foregone conclusion when
the circulars were issued that prohibi.
ton would receive the majority, but
no doubt the Governor got some yalua-
BILE ideas from the views of the minis.

He Needs Himself at Home.
The Greenville News says there is
one farmer in Greenville County land
doubtless many more) who has never
bought Western meat and Western
-four. There is little that this farmer
and his family consume that is not
raised at home. Not even does his
table rice come from Georgetown or
Beaufort. It is a Greenville county
product, and it is said that the low
country rice is not superior to it.
This gentleman makes his own syrup.
He makes his own oats and barley,
and he produces q large number of
bales of cotton. The horses and mules
that he works are natives to his farm.
He has been known to saw timber from
his own forest and send it to factory,
getting a part of it back in the form of
furniture. This farmer is not q great
politician. He is not even q free silver
man. He reads the newspapers care
fully. He is not dependent, but he is
q very busy man. He is so poor
that he rarely has a day to spend
away from his own large plantation
of plantations. he is on his farm with
the regularity that o cashier is at his
desk in a bank and as many days in
the year and as many hours in the day.
There are farmers who are able to in
dulge in more leisure than 10 this
Greenville farmer, but in other respects
they are poorer than he Is.

Heat in the Body.

An important source Of heat in the
body Is due to the friction Of the blood
as it circulates in its vessels. All OF
this resistance, which is overcome by
the heart, :s transformed directly into
heat. We may calculate the amount
approximately. If we suppose that ISL
ccs. Of blood are expelled from the left
ventricle at each stroke. under pres
sure of one third Of an atmosphere, this
would correspond to 1872 kilogramme-
metres at each stroke, and at - strokes
q minrte, this would give 4i.3124 kilO-
grammemetres per minute. II we sup
pose that the right heart does one-Quar-
ter the work of the left. or a&out 10
kilogrammemetreS per minute, we
have for the total work per minute
54.312 kilogramme-metreS, which cor
responds to 12S calorieS per minute.
This is perhaps rather high eSti
mate for ordinary conditions, but
where the heart is forced to pump a
much larger quantity of blood in order
sto maintain the normal temperature,
this estimate is probably much exceed
ed at times Since this friction takes
place largely in the most CONSTRUCTED
portions Of the circulation, it would be
natural to expect that the blood which
had been driven through the capillary
system Of a gland would issue much
warmer than it entered, and such we
find to be the case. Thus the blood Of
the hepatic vein has been observed to
be 40.13, while that in the right heart
was 37.7. In the muscles no contrac
ton can take place without an in
creased flow of blood through them
with Simultaneous construction of the
eapillaries. which would naturally give
rise to a considerable production of
heat-a fact constantly observed.-San-
itarian.
