Joseph w. Holden, who died at
Otsticld, Me-, last week was The Prof.
Holden who for many years preached
the theory that tho earth was nat. He
started life rs q farmer, and was very
successful. He was at ono time judge,
and at another q membnr Of the State
Lcgis ature. He got his not on Of the
carth's fl ltness by sitting up several
nights and noticing that tho water In
his mill pond did not run out, when at-
cording to other theorists, the portion
OF the elot Q under his OBJ ,ervatiOn was
upside down.
Now and then we have invcctives
against the English sparrow. Those
who look upon theso little birds as au

French naturalist who asserts that IL

the sprays and p0is0ns that could be
manufactured for the destruction Of
Insects, but for tho birds the world

The discovery of many dead rats
around some casks of fermenting mo-
lasscs has given French genius a
novel idea. He suggests that rats on
shnpboard may be destroyed by filling
the bilges with carbonic acid gas from
cylinders of the compressed fluid, and
points out that the asphyXlating gas
has no warning odor, while it is ham,
less TO ship and cargo.
The first bubonic plague of which
we have authentic record is placed by
two physicians Of New South Wales in
the year llll b. c., or more than
eight centuries earlier than the date
usually assigned. 1t is concluded that
the epidemic described in the First
Book of Samuel was true bubonic
plague.

CROSSING THE ATLANTIC. Twenty
tive years ago, says Lcslie's Weekly,
The Engineer OF London, the recogniz-
cd authority on all matters pertaining
TO steamship navigation, made the
prediction that tho GRO sing of the
Atlantic ocean by Il steamship at the
speed Of twenty-five miles an hour WAS
one OF the things impossible Of nc
Complishment. At that time the
Atlantic had never been crossed by {.
scrcw steamer at as high speed as
tiftecn miles an hour the Cunardcr
Scotia, the last Of the big sidewhecl-
crs, never doing better than an aver
ago OF fourteen and threc-fourths
knots. Therefore, the prophecy OF tho
engineer WAS not Ht all wild one
but today there arc steamers that
| have reached tho speed OF twenty tv c
| mitcs al hour, anu others arc in course
| OF construction which arc expected to
surpass IL. The fastest liner Of today
has done moro thar an average OF

WEATHER AND CROP REPORT.
weekly Bulletin of tho Weather Blu
reRu for South Carolina.


The week ending Monday, April 23d,
was much warmer than usual, due to
| generally higher minimum tempera-
lures and moderately high maxlmum
temperatures, which on tho 22d and
23A, rose to or above so degrees at
| various points.
The first day. and the last two days
of the week were clearly Or partly
cloudy, but tho rest Of tho week was
cloudy, with light TO heavy rains over
the entire State. Tho rainfall for the
| week averaged above 4 inches, and in
| the south western and at places in the
central portions, was Ia excess Of 6
| inches, while along the Immediate
| coast it amounted to about 2 inches.
Tho weeks rainfall was generally ia
cxcess OF the normal precipitation for
the entire month OF April. The exces-
sivc rainfall delayed planting opera
tiOns, and they cannot be resumed on
clay lands. and on bottom lands, for
some time, estimated at u week or ten
days.
The damage caused by the heavy
rains was confined principally to the
upper and central portions OF the
State. Lands were badly washed and
quilted; bottom lands we're inundated,
or covered with sand and mud roads
ors lcached Oa sandy lands, or washed
IL the lands ; but the rain benefited
wheat, oats pastures, truck and gar
dcns. and together with the more sea.
sOnable temperatures that prevailed,
caused rapid termination Of recently
planteC seeds.
The preparation Of lands for planting
made slow progress, or came to q stand
still, thus making an already late sea-
sou over the western half of the State
still later. Sunshine and dry weather
are now needed.
EARLY planted and replanted corn Is
coming up to average stands, but cut
worms are destructive at places. Late
corn Is coming up quickly. Corn plant
ing is nearly finished over the eastern
half OF tho State, but has not made
much progress over the western half
Cotton that was planted early in
April is coming up to good stands. The
bulk OF the crop remains TO be planted.
Lands arc not all prepared. Seed is
scarce IN places. Sea island cotton
about all planted.
Wheat is improving and Is very
promising. Ia places it is heading.
Oats are beginning to ripon in the eX-
tremc southeastern portions. Tobacco
transplantng has generally begun, and
plants are everywhere ready TO set out.
Shipments oi poas, beans, rudisnes, let
tucu and straw berries are being made ::
white potatoes soon will be ready to

FROM various sources we learn that
there is, IN numerous places, marked
revival of interest in the keeping of
sheep. We regard this as an encourage
ing indication. For. willie there are
regions in which others animals will
make better return, and reports of the
profits Of sheep husbandry have some
times been exaggerated by too cnthusi-
astic friends, it is true that there
arc great many localities in which
the sheep can be made to pay hand.
so,nciy for all the cost thai is involved
in their keeping. The expense Of
starting in the business is small. Sheep
increase so rapidly that at first only Il
few animals are required. Not only
this, but it is very much better for a
beginner in this business to com
mence on a small scale than il is to begin
with il large tlock.-Pructical Former
Vanishing butter is Il distinctly lin
de slcclc idea, but they do it in France
to make the butter keep. The varnisl
is very strong syrup, which is applied
warm. The heat melts the surface OF
the butter, which minglcs with the
syrup. The latter sets very rapid,
and covers the butter with crystalline
layer of sugar, which is impcrvious tc
microbes, whether those who make
their living by the manufacture OF
butyric acid, or any others. AT tho
same time it goes without saying that
the varnish offers no impeachment &c
spreading the butter on bread.
The way in which the Indians made
soapstonc dishes is SAID to be as fol-
lows: With Il hard implement, prob
ably flint, they cut circle on the
stone which was to become Il dish and
then chippcd away ard down on the
circumference of this. They then
fashioned the outside to the shape they
desired while it was still attached to
the rock itself. Finally, they split it
oil at the bottom and followed it out
and the dish was completed.

Caucus Ticket.

town caucus, Saturday, is made
up Representative citizens and
should receive the support OF the
electors of the town. The noml-
nations were all made irrespec-
tive of politics and the ticket as
whole is a good one.
w. T. Walsh, the nominee for
chairman, has been engaged III
the 1nerchantile business here tor
many years. He was the Junior
member of the firm of Walsh
Bros, until 1898, when his broth
er, T. B. Walsh, retired, having
been appointed County Treasur-
urer, of the new county of Villas.
w. T. has continued the business
to the present time and is now
one of the leading business men
of the city He has served the
town satisfactorily as Town
Treasurer for several terms and
no one ever inti1nated that his
accounts were not correct. lie
was practically the unanimous
nominee of the caucus and is GER
tain of election. Wepredict that
his administration will be eco
nomical and business like.
A. King, one of the nominees
for Supervisor is one of the oldest
residents Of the town. He is too
well known for his sterling in
tegrity and fearless devotion to
do what h. believes to be right to
require any comment from us.
However we cannot refrain from
stating, that in our Judgment,
Mr.. King will make one of the
best supervisors the town has
ever had.
I. B. butcher, the other nom
inee for Supervisor is also an old
resident of the town and, one Of
it's most thrifty and enterprising
farmers. Mr.. butcher has never
before been a candidate for office
and consented this year to allow
his name to be used upon the
urgent request Of many citizens
who felt that the farmer element
OF the town which is rapidly IN
creasing should have a represen-
tative on the board.
John Diamond, the nominee for
Town Clerk, Fred Morey for
Town Treasurer, L. J. Cook and
William Tellefson for Assessors
have all served the town in the
offices for which they have been
nominated. We understand there
will be no opposition to any of
them and the manner in which
each has discharged their duties
in the past is assurance that no
will be made in re-elect-
ing each of them.
We hope the electors of the
town and especially those who
are interested with the upbuilding
and development Of the town
will turn out and attend the
Town meeting this year and sup
port the caucus ticket. They are
all good men.
