SmokcIess Powder.

IL Is a curious faet that with all of
tho improvements and notifications so
notable IN our navy we arc still using
the old fashioned smoky, smelly powder
that envelops everything in gray pail.

using cordite, tho wonderful smokeless
powder which tho English navy has
adopted The results with this ship the
New Orleans. were truly amazing. Tho
rapidity, accuracy and precision of her
fire were the admiration Of all observers
Smolsoless powder has several ndvan
tngcs. There is no obsouring of the
Wow, the explosion producing the morest
haze, which lasts but an instant. 1t
leaves but little residuum in the gun,
has much moro power and is every why
more desirable. Higher muzzle velocity
is obtained with projoctile, as the
powder burns much more slowly than
tho ordinary sort, and, therefore, gen
crates moro gas as the ball travels up to
tho mouth of tho gun. Tho demand for
smokeloss powder seems to he one of the
imporntives Of the immediate future. -

6aylties of the Summer Season.

The warm days of the midsummer have found most of the town houses still open, but With the exception of a number of charming dancing parties of the younger set, entertaining has been in manner desultory. The Jefferson and Kid clubs have continued their informal dances in the pa- viion at Lakeview, and the driving parties along the beuatiful roads to East Lake have been unusually popular on account of the dramatic entertainments every evening in the pavilion.
 A number of people who are out of town for July are among the cottagers at the nearby country places. House parties at these cottages have been so greatly in vogue that next season the cottage colony promises to be greatly augmented and en- tertaining at the country houses will be greatly in favor. Those who are experi- encing the pleasures of cottage life are anxious to have golf links put in order, which would undoubtedly prove to be the most delightful feature of the summer Life at the country houses has so far in- cluded the usual routine of card parties, drives along white stretch of road, dances and amateur theatricals in the evenings,

HEROlSM IN COAL MINING.
The Worker Under the Earth Lives in Con-
 stant Peril.

From the Kanawha Gazette.
 Every miner is a hero, for his life is hourly beset by peril. The world is now ringing with praise of the feat performed by the crew of the Merrimac in the Santi- ago channel, and had Lieutenant Hobson lost his life in that daring act, monu ment would have been erected to his memory, and his grave kept green by an admiring people. Him, we are proud of, and rightly too; but he was fired by the enthusiasm of war, while there are hum dreds of coal miners in the Kapawha Val- ley whose daily avocation leads them into positions equally as dangerous, and to them we only offer contempt-the one feat is performed for the pride of nation, while the other is contributed to its neces- sity; the one peril is only momentary, while the other is continuous monotonous drag
 Each day the coal miner takes his life in his hand, and each morning as the thinly clad housewife places the frugal meal in the battered tin pail there is tear glistens on her eyelash, for she does not know when it will be the last time. And as she moves about performing her humble house. hold duties, she is continually haunted by a foreboding of evil. A rap at the door startles her, for she is in constant expec- tat.on of the messenger whose mission Is to inform her that she Is a widow. A con- fusion of voices frightens her, for she knows not at what hour the crushed, life less remains of her. once kind better half may be conveyed a bleeding mass to her humble home
 The coal miner is the most charitable person in the world, for there is a sympa- thetic chord which binds him to the un- fortunate, and when a cOmrade has been injured in the mine, no matter how scant his larder or how meager his pay, a penny is provided for the support of that com rades family until he is able to resume work The sight of the blind always brings to his mind the possibility of pre- mature explosion, which may place him in the same fix and to the blind his purse is always open. The poor beggar child never leaves him empty-handed, for he don't know at what hour his own children may be left dependent upon a cruel world. The coal miners work is harder than any other class of labor, for he is only paid for what he does, and If a minute is lost during the day 1t tells terribly against him. He is the poorest paid of any labor CT, for if he is idle for week, he must go through that period on half rations for fear of exhausting his credit at the office.

so imbued with the patriotic spirit that this particular corps will not fall short of what 1t has stared to accomplish.
 The work of preparing a box of hospital articles, which will include sheets, pillow slips, towels night shirts etc., is going on rapidly, and the General Sumter chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolu- tion intends shipping the box Thursday.
 Messrs. Loveman, Joseph & Loeb have consented to receive any donations that the people here wish to make, and all donations should be sent to their store between 10 and 12 o'clock Thursday morning.
 The General Sumter chapter is deeply gratlfea for the generous aid rendered by the members of the Jewish Ladies' Benev- olent society. Among it's members who are interested in the relief work are Mrs. J. Fles, Mrs. Lazarus, Mrs. Morris Adler, Mrs. Albert Adler, Miss Adler and others, who have not only proffered to aid in any way in the patriotic work of caring for the sick and wounded soldiers, but have made valuable contributions in the way of material and divided the labor of making the material into garments. They have sent quantities of towels, pilow-slips and sheets to the chapter.
 Among others who have very generously contributed are Mrs. Chenoweth, Mrs. Dan- gerfield Mrs. Leedy, Mrs. Bush, the Burger Dry Goods company, Caheen Bros, and
