Some Pertinent Suggestions as to

tional laws on surveying are a6'
solutely necessary to protect the
public, to give greater credit to
the profess ion. and as an incen-
tive to NOR proficient service. All
know that if land lines and cor

faction of nelghbors, or I would

tice is done the neighbors concern

each. One man has his lines run
by the plat he owns, the surveyor

which is thought to be absolutely
right by the owner, while his ad-
Joining neighbor knows from cir

Beneficial to Tobacco Growers.

Mr.. Editor: Having 40 years
experience as a tobacco grower, l
have. recently discovered q new
theory which if known to them
would prove a great benefit, to
farmers.
!. My theory arises. from the dis
covery that there are certain times
to cut tobacco to make it good and
.waxy, and every grower should
know just how and when to cut or
prime tobacco to. make it heavy
bodied and waxy.
Tobacco, while growing, con.
tains an; oily aud sappy substance.

the stalk truns the oil out, and if
then cut it will be light or chaffy.

ga Good Judge"

Under this very simple, and yet
all-suficient and all-signi6cant
caption, Mr.. Editor, the Hampton
Guardian, of the 18th met, pays
high compliment to our erstwhile
fellow-townsman Judge Ernest
Gary, now of Columbia--cnly
temporarily we hope--as follows:
The presence of Judge Gary
at this term of Court is a pleasure
and qualification to his many
friends among members of the
Bar and other citizens. While
presiding at previous Courts here
our people formed a high opinion
of him. His ability as a jurist,
high sense of justice and werciful
consideration for offenders have
long convinced the people that he
is eminently qualified for his high
and responsible Office. An assur-
ance pervades the minds of our
people that his rulings and charges
to juries will bring forth good fruit
and produce conviction wherever
guilt exists. The jurors are ever
reminded of the questions
of law which should influence
their oplnons in coming to q
verdict-thst they shall be govern
ed in accordance with the evidence
adduced on both sides of the cases.
Members of the Bar have long
his fair, impartial and
courteous treatment with the high
est appreciation. For all of the
above reasons Judge Gary is a
man of whom all Carolinians are
deservidly proud. His pesence
will always afford us pleasure.
Yes, Mr.. Editor, aJudge Gary is

are deservedly proud" And it

4 Method According to Nature

The experiments of modern ply
sicians and scientists have
established the fact that many of
the germs of disease enter the body
by the inhalation of air laden with
bacteria or microbes. These germs
are very small but their work is
deadly. Still many of them are
comparatively harmless in health ;
but as soon as an organ is diseased
it is attacked. The experimets
of Koch and others have shed much
light upon this important subject
But up to the present time the
culture of bacteria appears to have
met with much better success than
thei. destruction. AS we can do
so little to destroy these minute
enemies, is not the most sensible
course to strengthen and revitalize
the system so that it may repel
and resipt their destructive In
fuence, and does it not seem very
fitting that the revitalizing element
should enter the body through
inhalation Of oxygen which is at
once a revitalizer and ge-micide?
The experience of years and the
testimony of thousands show
Compound Oxygen to be the agent
needed.

the fact tina, there is a magnetic
variation.
While we can approximate the
variation of needle if date of pre-
vious angle be properly given, yet
we are often confronted with plats
made by good surveyors from notes
of surveys of part of the lines and
the other lines from the old plats
of twenty or more years previous.
This is injustice to the surveyor
who natter years is expected to
follow, because he is given chart
with all lines of same date as
though the angles were made at
same time, when the truth is there
was at least two or three degrees
variation on old lines at the date
OF the new plat. But who can tell
if dates of different angles are not
given. Injustice is done the sue
ceedng surveyor if name is not
given of surveyor from whose work
the old lines are taken and used,

our predecessors enters into our

have it said that. the plats made
thirty or more years ago are better
by which to locate original lines
than more recent plats. Yet such
may be:truthfully asserted. This
in caused very largely from angles
of different. dates being set down
as If run at same time. | know 1t
has been the custom of most sur
veyors 10 use the older notes. in
making calculations and plats for
their patrons in order to save time
and expense for them. But such
can be seen to be injustice to the
patrons as we'll as to succeeding
surveyors, for the patrons who are
not supposed to know the diff
Guilty of magnetic variations then
believe they have in their new
plat a. proper description of the
land surveyed, which is not the
fact. No surveyor can properly
certify to more lines than be ac-
tually runs himself, therefore
other lines used by him should be
credited to the surveyor or plat
from which the other lines are
taken, noting the date of such. old
plat.
A surveyors work is Gel tainly
tedious and of great responsibility
for we buy and sell by his certii-
cate all of our landed estates.
There being no laws or statutes
requiring them to do the work de.
manded by the best experience for
the protection of the public good,
we should place such there at
once.
Establish at every county court
house a true meridian or north
and south line by which have
every surveyor test his compass ut
least once a year and note the va
ration of his needle from true
meridian on every plat made by
him. Also have there standard
steel tape chain by which have
every one that uses link chain
adjust it once quarter and those
using tape chains once a year, and
state such fact of adjusting by
that government standard on every
plat made, and whether link or
steel tape chain is used. Let the
law requiring every surveyor be-
fore surveying for the public to
undergo some examination by au-
thority who can grant license, and
when shown that careless and i'm
proper work is done by any sur
veyor let it be the duty of that au-
thority to revoke the license. A
small license fee could be used in
establishing the true meridian and
standard chain. Aud let every sur
veyor be required to note on plats
he makes any lines or angles he
may use from older surveys giving
the author and dates of such old
lines and angles used on his new
plat as we'll as the date Of his own
survey.

GrcasfnE the Whet1S.

A Russian paper gives an interesting
insight into the way they do things on
the Siberian railway.
A merchant recently sent q carload
of fruit from Irkutsk to Chita. The
railway charges were ITO rubles, but
the tips to railway officials amounted
to 100 rubes more.
Tipping, or 'greasing," as it is called
in Siberia, is a tax from which no pa
iron of the railway is exempt.
In the case mentioned the first sta
ton master told the merchant that the
loaded car was "sick," or disabled,
md would have to be side tracked for
repairs.
"How long will ii take to make the
repairs?' the merchant asked.
"Oh, week at least" was the an
swcr.
The merchant started, for week.
delay meant the spelling Of his cargo,
and, besides, it was ordered for imme-
date delivery But when the fruit
dealer had slipped 10 or II ruhles into
the officials hand the latter found that
the car was well enough to travel.
At the next station the car fell i'll
again and had to be restored to health
in the same manner, and this process
was repeated every time the train
stopped
Local merchants have become used
to this "greasing" business and simply
add the amount to the price of their
wares, so that the consumer pays the
freight and the tips as well.
