Sense and Nonsense From Poverty Flat.

Mr.. Editor Our city is so large
that thcugh your reporters arc hust-
ling and wide awake, it is impossible
to keep Tic people posted, so | con-
cluded to give YOU some ot our d' Is.
You no doubt are wondering as to
the origin of the name of this portion
of town, known to some as Scotrusa-
lum; it was given by some of our
most attractive boys. 1t is very APP
propriate l think, but not near us
appropriate as slough of dcspond or
some other name that means mud in
abundance.
The mill is doing good work, have
made several shipments already. but
we will soon have our own dying
plant we believe in giving our
Southern people work, and we believe
in consuming our own goods instead
of swapping new, strong goods for old
dyc-caten ones. Mr.. Gault. the
manager, is the right man in the
right place: he knows what - do
and the best of all he does it: we
can not say that much for some.
The folks here seem to have the
misfortune of having things lifted
quite frequently, as some one has
lifted portion of our pavement, (a
present from Mr.. Cohcn.)
Tac valentine party given by the
C. S. O. was enjoyable in the super
lative degree. Some think the G..
S. O. arc girls, but | contend that
that they are boys and handsome ones
at that, for they (whocver on what
ever they are) were supposed to be
in attendance and there were more
handsome boys present than anything
else. The club is young but their
first party was nice, their supper
nicer, but their boys were incest.
Our boys are waking from Il sleep
almost equal to Rip Van Wrinkles,
l hope their eyes will remain open.
and their minds active and also the
new band will be fond of Scrcnading.
Ask Mr.. Charles Graham if he
doesn't know some one who needs Il
splasher,
One Of the up town boys came
down to sec the mill and climcd on
top to get Il view. Ask Mr.. d.
Poscy who it was.
Riverside Joe. who now resides "n
Poverty Flat has smart cows, ask
, him how they get through the fence,
One of cur girls got Il valentine
and written inside of the box was
From one who loves YOU and she
is SO much interested that She has
engaged detective to find who sent
it.
Nearly all of Unions boys spend
every spare moment in the country
girls what is the matter! Why is
not Union more attractive:
| hope Bcanchamp will havca good
crowd and will preach temperance in
all things.
Some of our girls are putting in
excellent time and bless the bows who
made them Il present of six months
leap year the boys think they arc
generous, but | think they need a
rest.
To those who wish ,hi, place to
have better name | will say. We
tried to have it named ''ParadiSc
Alley, but Us it was minus sunshine
We failed.
When one Of our girls read of the
proposed trip to cadets She was heard
to say, Il wish | was :, boy and a
cadet boy at that. that reminds me
that our Clemson boys are missed
greatly. -\u Rcvoir.

a.oaIxing fer Copper.

Some eastern people have been
in Nevada for a week or two past
looking for copper mines. 1t is un-
derstood that they have purchased,
among other mines in the State, the
Dobbins mine in Mason Valley, fol
$4,000. The ore from this mine
used to be shipped to the Douglass
mill at this place, and some Of j
went as high as As per cent, which
with copper selling at 1Oc. a pound
means 500 per ton. If there is
fair body of ore in the mine the
purchasers have secured bonanza
at small cost.

knees. He tries to rise but cannot.
With one hand and knee on the
floor he quivers in terrible agony.
His mouth opens and shuts spas
medically. Every muscle in him
shakes. He is not unconscious, hu:
has lost control OF his muscles. Fitz
stands over him, bleeding like
hog, until Siler counts, slowly, the
ten fatal seconds that proclaim Fitz
the champion of the world.
A second after the count Corbett
jumped to his feet. He did not
seem to realize that the fight WAS
over. He rushed around the ring,
which was filling with men, look
ing for Fitz and smashing at every
thing in sight. He was hauled
away by his trainers and dozen
police while Fitz asked him if he
didn't think he was a big monkey.
Mrs. Fitz was laughing and crying
for Joy and waving the colors.
Corbett finally came over and
shook hands and asked Fitz for
another fight. Fitz said he had
whipped him fairly and was done
with him. Corbett acknowledged
he was fairly beaten, but unless he
was given another show he would
punch Bob the first time he met
him. Bob replied that he had bet

JAPAN'S GREAT ENTERPRISE IN

LARGE APPROPRIATION az ira.

To Inform Americans How ia Make

Several months ago, the japanese Tea
Guild: sem to this country q special COM
mission. composed Of Mr.. s. Mitsuhashi,
President OF the Shizuoka Prefectural As
sembly, aud Mr.. j. Ohara. member Of
japanese Parliament, to investigate the
condition OF the japanese tea trade in the
United States and Canada and to CO OPP
crate with Mr.. L. Furuya and Mr.. l..
Mizutany. the American representatives
Of the japanese Tea Guild, in giving pub
lefty to the merits Of japanese Teas ami
the method of preparing them for drink
ing which would insure the best results.
Mr.. Furuya and Mr.. Mizutany are plan
ming to open Tea Bazars in many Ct the
principal cities in the United Sta rs and
Canada, where ladies' can enjoy a cup OF
fine japanese tea made by experts, and at
the same time receive instructions which
will enable them to make it equally well

Of japanese growth, yet, the majority Of
Americans apparently do not understand
how to prepare it 50 as to develop the
delicious qualities which it contains. 1t
is believed by these gentlemen that, when
Americans are in possession Of the secret
Of making good tea, the consumption in
this country will fully equa! that of I'm
rope in proportion. The japanese Gov
ernment has appropriated a large ind IL
aid the Japanese Tea growers aud Tea
merchants in prosecuting this educational
work, and it is hoped that American IA
dies will be apt students. The main Blu
reau OF the Japanese Tea GUILD has issued
an o1ic.L recipe for making japanese
Tea. the translation of which is as fol-
lows:
First--Use a small, dry and thorough.
" clean porcelain teapot.
~Second-Put in one te%aspoonful OF tea
leaves for each cup OF tea desired.
Third-When using japanese teas, pour
on the required quantity Of fresh boiled
water, and let stand with closed lid from
two to three minutes. Never boil the
leaves. In order to retain the natural la
vor, japanese tea caves should be kept
in tight can or jar, free from moisture.
Note.-To thoroughly enjoy the natural.
delicate and sweet flavor of Japanese
Teas, neither sugar nor cream should be
used.
