A Progressive Farmer.

The Anderson Intelligencer
makes the following statement
In regard to the progressive con
duct of a farmer in that county:
There are soma people who
have a sagacity and foresight con.
siderably in advance of those
around them, which not infre-
quently eminates from native tai.
ent, and Is not the result of meth
odlcal mental training or wide
observation. To this latter class
we believe belongs our friend,
Oliver Bolt, familiarity known to
his friends as Buck" Bolt, and
whose farm home lies about three
miles west of Anderson. AS soon
as 1t became a settled fact that an
electric plant at Portman Shoal.
would be developed, and that the
pole line would pass within half a
mile OF his house, he determined
to operate his public cotton gin
by eletric power. To this end he
entered into contract with the
Anderson Water, Light & Power
Go. for sufficient power to operate
2O-horse power electric motor,
sold his steam engine, bought the
electric motor, set 1t In position
and adjusted his machinery to it,
and when the current was turned
on about the first of last month,
had the satisfaction of seeing his
enterprise a complete success.
This is, in all probability, the first
cotton gin in the world to oper-
ated by electrical power, and
when 1T is considered that Mr..
Bolt Is a plain, unassumiug farm

power, except what he has OBJ
served mere at home, he deserves
more than ordinary credit for his

power had the effect to increase

ON SLIPPERY STREETS.

The Only Way to Walk to Keep from
Falling.
There are right and wrong ways to do
most things, and walking ON icy side
walks is no exception to the rule, says
the New York World. Many people
follow the wrong method, and as a re-
suit they often make exhibitions of
themselves more pleasing to the specta-
tors than to the exhibitors. Falls are
frequent in New York city during the
winter. Some of them are absolutely
dangerous and many are painful.
: The dangers of slippery and icy pave
ments may be reduced to minimum by
using caution when walking. BY going
on tiptoe and keeping the heel of the
shoe from striking the pavement until
the foot is firmly in position slippingis
avoided. If, on the contrary, you start
with the heel and toe gait popular with
pedestrians your heel will slip from IN
der you and you fall before you have
had time to select the safest spot.
This Is readily explained by the fact
that when the ball of the foot Is placed
OF the ground a large section of the shoe
touches the pavement and the body
must necessarily be pretty well bal
anced on the foot. But when the heel
comes down first only a small portion
of the shoe touches the pavement, and
often the loot is well in advance Of the
body. Try it once and be convinced
that the mincing walk of the typical
dandy is sometimes safe if not grace

PeAcocks Supplanting Towser As the

1.-THE place of a watchdog on the farm
or country place." said States Attorney
Mcclure the other day, in making some
observations about mad dogs, reports
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat, might
be very well taken by peacocks and
guinea fowls. Hong since adopted pea
cocks alone to guard my place, and
nothing can come AROUND he premises
night or day without causing an alarm
from them. They T more watchful
than any dog'I eve owned. My expert
ence with guineas has not been SO eU-
tensive, but I believe they are also
sure to give an alarm, or rather q good
many alarms, if any strange man or
beast should venture near them by
night or day. Perhaps the days of the
watchdog would be numbered If 1t were
generally known how well peacocks
and guinea fowls would take his place.
Then, certainly, with fewer dogs there
would not be SO many cases OF hydro
phobia-"
The statement of Mr. Mcclure as to
the watchfulness of peacocks was borne
out by numerous Howard county farm
ers, amolg the Number being County
Commissioners Hess. Dorsey and Smith,
and Mr.. James L. Hobbs, who superin-
tends the farming operations of Sen
ator German. Mr.. Hobbs stated that he
long ago discovered what excellent pro
lection peacocks afford about a place,
and down on the senator's farm he al
ways keeps six or eight of them to
guard the premises. So it appears thar
peucocks are useful rs well as orna-
