To Photograph Approaching Storms.

approaching SCOrDnSs
From London has been reported the
possibility of f~oretelling a rainstorm
by photography. The Hertz waves,
those bearers Of electricity on wireless
telegraphs, produce a marked effect on
the sensitive Photographic plates. F.
G. Glen demonstrated in the rooms of
the Royal Photograph Company OF
I,ondon that these electric waves could
be utilized to show the approach of a
storm. From experiments it is seen
that lightning is not one continuous
shaft of light, but is composed of
Lumberless rows of sparks, that follow
n another in the same track. This
lightning is the cause of electrical
waves that are spread out from all
sides by each spark. If we use a CO.
herer with the same relation to the
electrical waves that it has in wire
less telegraphy, but of a. different
shape. and brought before Il photo
graphic plate by his arrangement. then
the waves of a far distant, approaching
storm operate, so positively on this film
that the impending storm can be fore
told with certainty.

Mark Twain On Lies.

Mark Twain, in a recent article,
treats of lies, spoken and unspoken,
declaring that the silent assertion lie
is the more numerous and the less de-
feasible. He recalls Carlyle's state
ment: This gospel is eternal-that a
lie shall not live" and says: ITO me
it is plain that he said it in a moment
of excitement, when chasing Amert-
cans out of his back yard with brick
bats. They used to go there and wor-
ship. At bottom he was probably fond
of them, but he was always able to
conceal it. He kept bricks for them,
but he was not a good shot, and it is
a matter of history that when he fired
they lodged. and carried off the brick;
for, as a nation, we like relics, and so
long as we get them we do not much
care what the %reliquary thinks about
1t. | am quite sure that when he told
that large one about a lie not being
able to live he had just missed an
American and was o~yer-excited. He
told it about thirty years ago., but it is
alive yet; alive and healthy and hearty
and likely to outlive any fact in his
tory. Carlyle was truthful when calm.
but give him Americans enough and
bricks enough and he could have taken
medals himself"

Verdict Set Aside.

Anderson, Special-The court OF
common pleas which recently adjourn
ed tried several cases Of interest. The
case Of Harris against the Anderson
county was an action for $4,000 dam
ages provided for by resent legislation
in cases Of lynching. 1t seems that
Ebert Harris, negro, was arrested
on the charge of arson some time last
year and was taken, from the officers
and severely beaten. dying from the
effects Of the beating. AS in the
Orangeburg case, the jury found for
the county, and his honor Judge AL
drich set aside the verdict an granted
a new trial. In justice to the jury,
however, it must be said in some
points the case Of the plaintiff was no
made very strong in tne evidence.

Lynchburg, Special.-Friday after
noon several negro men were forcing
an iron cylinder weighing 1900 pounds
up a long fight OF stairs IN the print
ing house of the James A. Wilkins
Company. When within three feet OF
the top one of the ropes broke and
the heavy iron plunged down the
steps, dragging two of the men with
it and landing on them both on the
lower floor. Sam PParks had his
spinal column broken and George
MINIS was painfully hurt. The ne
gross, while under the cylinder,
screamed in a most pitiful manner,
and it was several minutes before they
could be released.

.spartanburg's Carnival.

spartanburg, Special.-Fully 11,oOo
people were here to witness the thirG
days exhibits of the carnival. The
weather, while not rainy. was to some
extent cloudy and threatening, and
feeling of dismay and dampor filled
the hearts Of many people. This only
goes to show that the people here haeT
strength and confidence in the street
carnival, and hundreds and thousands
OF people flocked to see the floral par
ade. 1t was grand sight. To attempt
the enumeration of any special foat o.
floats would be folly. Suffice to say OF
the seventy odd exhibits in line, num-
ber were original and unique and met
the appreciation OF every one in the
trades display parade.

APPEAL To VOTERS.
The State Chairman Appeals to Voters
In Bryan's Interest.

Along the line of the letter recently
received from National Democratic
Chairman Jones, the South Carolina
Democratic chairman has issued the
following to the voters o. the State:
To the Democratic Voters OF South
CaroliAa:
In view Of the present apathy which
seer4s to exist among the Democrats
OF this State as to voting at the gen.
eral election, feel it 10 be my duty
as your chairman to address you in
this public manner and urge that you
all come out on November 9Th and
cast your votes for the Democratic
ticket from president to coroner. Our
people have gotten into the way OF
thinking that when they have cast
their votes in the primary there is no
further use to vote. But this is q
very dangerous policy to pursue and
may result in great harm to our State.
Our State and county tickets are safe,
as the Republicans have put up no op-
position at all.
The Republicans have an electoral
ticket in the field composed mostly OF
negroes, and they have a candidate in
every congressional district in this
State hoping to have their candidates
seated by a Republican house. Let
every Democratic voter come out and
vote for the Democratic nominees in
his district and elect them by such al
Overwhelming majority that not evea
a Republican house would care unseA
them or even consider contest.
The Democrats OF this nation have
given you one Of the grandest, purest
and most brilliant men this country
has ever produced, and the Democrats
OF this State have given you seven OF
your best men as candidates for con-
sress, and II cannot believe that you
will not come out and vote for them.
We have heard OF late various threats
on all sides that our representation in
congress would be reduced by Re-
publican congress on account OF our
small vote in the general election.
Now, fellow Democrats, do not al
low this serious charge to be made
against you. WILLIE JONHo'

The Value of Saving.

In New York State the past year,
how widespread has been prosperity
is betokened by Z report on savings
banks, which shows that one out Oh
every three persons in the State has
n bank account: The total amount
deposited was $264, ,2O3.
In France, the Government oilers In
ducements to school children to open
savings bank accounts. The Govern
ment of the United Etates plays no
such paternal role in encouraging thrift
among it's people. 1t is left to wise
mothers in this country to encourage
children to the virtue and sound busi-
ness principle OF saving. The spirit
ual paradox, "To him that hath shall
be given, and from him that hath not
shall be taken away" is stern, unre-
lenting condition of business success.
Not alone Is it true nowadays that u
penny saved is penny earned but,
more aud more it is necessary to save
the penny in order to earn one. Inc
youth beginning life under present
economic conditions must have capital
and a capacity for acquiring it. Saw
ing through childhood is a means TO
both these indispensable ends ana
the solemn truth Of this should be re-
lIgiously placed before the minds OF
the young.-Harper'S BaZar.
