SPECIFICS During q Ser.
mon.

While preaching his morning
sermon last Sunday, Rev. w. K.
Motley. pastor of the Christian
Church in Newport News. Va,
was struck speechless just as he
had reached the dramatic climax
OF particularly passionate ap-
peal For some time he was un-
able to articulate. There was a
large congregation present. and
the surprise which was at first
manifested on the part of his
hearers at the sudden stop to the
preachers discourse soon gave
way to fear and pity. The cons
gregation was dismissed and Mr..
Motley went to his home, where
during the afternoon his power
ofspeech returned and he preach
ed in the afternoon, as usual.
In explaining the strange occur
ence, all Mr.. Motley could say
was II felt something snap in
my throat and l was speechless."

STOPPED A CIRCUS TR AIN
South Carolina People Claimed
TO Have Been Swindled and
Forced Restitution With
Pistols.

The w. H. Harris Nickel,
Plated Show was at Dillon, S. G.,
a town Of 700 people, last Fri>
day, and a bloody riot was mar
roWly averted When an at
tempt was made to start the cir
Gus train from there at night,
several hundred men from town
and country, many with drawn
pistols, prevented it from start
ing. They claimed the circus
had advertised ono gambling,
but that gambling was i'll full
blast, andithat many were fla
yrautly robbed in a variety of
crooked games. They further
charge that III the main tent, it
being known that the Commu-
nifty was short OF fractional cur
rency and small bills for harvest
ing purposes, the circus people
offered to make the change.
This they did for many, but in
all sinstanccs they gave less
money than was due, the people
accepting their accounts without
question. Each one lost from
81 to $40.
Legal action was begun, but
as the train was about to get
away before the %arrents could
be secured, the crowd stopped It.
A bloody fight was imminent,
but the circus people finally
agreed to pay ali claims.

Suffering With Toothache She
Saturated a Handkerchief
With ChlorOform and
Retired, When the
Fatal Drug Takes
Her Life.

Last Sunday morning when
Mr.. II. H. Bender, who fills a
night position at one Of the
mills of the Branning Manufact-
urlng Company at Edenton,
N. c., returned to his home, he
found his wife in bed sleeping
the sleep that knows no waking
in this world. Thinking it
strange that his wife did not
meet him at the door with
smile and kind word, as was her
custom, he proceeded to her
room, where he found her in
bed covered up, lying On her
left side, apparently asleep. He
called, but she did not answer.
He then put his hand On her
face and then it was that he real
lied that his wife had passed
over the river, for she was icy
cold. Relatives and the doctor
were Immediately sent for, but
she had passed beyond the line
of human aid. Mrs. Benler's sad
death is accounted for in this
way: She had been suffering
considerable with toothache.
Saturday night she bought
vial of chloroform, which, ac~
cording to the statement of the
young girl that occupied the
room with her, she used On her
face freely, then she saturated a
handkerchief with it and then
retired, placing TIE handkerchief
near her face, and then it was
that the fatal drug was sure aud
quick in taking the life that it
could not return. Mrs, Benler
was 32 years old, all EpiscopaI-
ian, a kind and aft ctionate
mother and wife. She leaves a
husband, one small child and a
large number of friends and
relatives to noun her loss. In
this dark hour of affliction Mr..
Benler has the sympathy OF the
entire community. The funeral
services took place at 4 O'Clock
Monday evening.

Factory men do much to show by
the varying quality of the milk re-
ceived from various patrons the diff
ference in the work of the farmers.
Payments made by the test plan are
great educators, more particularly
of the careless and Indifferent farm
er, who thinks anything is good
enough-and so it is if factory men
will accept and pay for such milk as
they bring.
The object lesson of cleanliness
which eau be shown in every we'll
kept and appointed creamery will
not be lost on the farmer, and it is
much easier for the factory man to
preach the gospel of absolute clean
illness when he daily practices it.
There is a demand for better work
at the factory and on the. farm.
The cost of butter consumed by
our people is fully twice that of the
cost of the wheat. Add to this the
milk sales, which, in our large CT
ties, are immense. The consump-
ton of cheese swells the aggregate,
so that we pay more for the products
of the dairy than for any other of
our staple farm products.
Are you indifferent as to the kind
of cows you have in your milking
herd? From 10 to 40 pounds of milk
is represented by every pound OF
butter. The difference in the amount
represents the difference between a
good COW and bad one.

horticulture.

There is new branching aster,
which, when cut, resembles the
chrysanthemum so closely that only
experts can tell the difference, and
it flowers six weeks earlier. Florists
often deceive the innocent with
them. 1t can be easily grown out of
doors, and can possess a prize for al
most nothing.
The apple tree primer is on his
rounds about this time. Get rid of
two notions-that the job can be
done by just any cObbler, or that it
can be lett undOne. It is out of the
question to leave trees entirely to
their own resources; but what is
worth doing is worth doing we'll.
When tree is cut down the pith
is observed to be considerably south
of the center. There is no regularity
in the distance between the concen-
trio rings, they being close for dry
year and far apart for long and pro-
tracted rainy seasons. Cold weather
splits the bark on the south side, the
north appearing more spongy and
porous.
The small lowered pompones, as
they are called, are the hardest OF
the chrysanthemums. Those bear
ing very large flowers, with which
florists make such a gaudy showing,
are not very hardy, and in the cen
trail latitudes must be covered with
some protection in the winter.
Our native water lilies could be
made to decorate many pool oil
fresh water to advantage; but there
must be mud at the bottom 10 which
the roots may run enough of it t
prevent them from freezing in the
winter.
