Massacred and Eaten

News has reached Berlin that the
members Of the First German South
Sea expedition on tie Cannibsl island I,
Of St. Matthias has been massacred and
eaten By cannibaIs. Olly one, Dr..
Heinroth, escaped. It seems that the
vessel which carried the expedition to
the island Of St. Matthias left, after q
few days for Herbertshop, New Bri-
tain, to get coal and fresh supplies.
During its absence the savages who had
hitherto appeared friendly, slthough
known to be rsbid csnnibals, planned
to kill and rob the diminished party.
The plot was carried cut one morn
ing while the meuters Of the expedi-
tion who had & body guard of 40 Pa
pusns, were cleaning their rifles, which
they had taken apart. Suddenly so
Of the islanders broke from the brushes,
raising war cries and brandishing spears,
with which they stabbed to death the
leader of the party, Dr. Mencken, his
secretary, Herr Caro-, and white sailor
Who was asleep under . tent. Dr..
Heinroth empted his revolver into his
assailants while the bodyguard in the
meantime retired to the bosts with the
wounded, and Dr.. Heinreth, leaving ~
dead. The boats put off to an is and
not far distant, where the expeditionary
vessel rescued them. Subsequently the
SURVIVORS returned to the island of St.
Matthias, where they found that the
bodies had heen devoursd and the camp
absolutely looted.

& Remarkable Month.

The Columbia State says the month
of May wss remarkable, not only for
its political sensations, but for its
weather antics. The to7al precipitation
for the noath was 6.52 inches.
That statement sou-ds very tame to
ore not student of m steorology but it
meaas that the rainfall for Msy, 1901,
vas nearly 80 per cent. more than for
the same ooth for any previous year
On record.
The average for the month Of May
for the past l3 years has been 2 SO in
ch-s. This amount vas exceeded this
May by 50 inches. There were SIX
clear Gays during the month, six cloudy
and 10 psr;ly cloudy.
The mcss excessive precipitation for
one day during the month just ended
was SO inches in 24 hour, on the
20th-21st.
The next highest monthly prccipits-
tion for May vas 6 50 ircaes in 1894,
and 6.66 in 1883. The lowest was IS
in 1899 and 0 95 in 1889
The temperature for the month just
ended was equitable, the mean for the
month being 72 degrees. The maxi
mum point reached was 80 on the 81;
and the lowest point was 80 on the 18th.
Oa the 1st day Of Msy thetbernomsser
started to work in the morning regis
tering so and wound up with gain Of
40 degrees in one day.
Yesterday was like winter day in
that respect. The thermometer kept
up steady lick al day, varying but
seven degrees all day loag-from 5S to
IS. TIE mean temperature for May
for the psst 13 years has been the sams
as for Nay this year.

NOT ENCOURAGING.
The Weekly Crop Bulletin States That

Nj. j. ". Bsuerissusd the folloHi1
weekly crop bulletin, stating in general
that cotton is gsttins grassy and other
CROPS are not making much progress.
The week ending Monday, June 3rd,
had temperature os66 degrees-abcur
10 below the normsl-with maximum
Of IS st Columbia on the End, and
minimum Of II at Greenviile On Msy
29.h. The cocl weather, and def
cheney in sunshine, were detrimental to
all crops. =,
Although the rainfall for the week
averaged but little over one and one
half inches, yet this amount is much
above the normal, and following the
heavy rains Of the week Immediately
preceding, kept the ground too wet to
work, except for 5 day or so on woll
drained uplan5s. The weeks rainfall
ranged from less than an inch to near.
ly four inches, and covered the entire
State. The ground is saturated, and
the excessive moisture is proving in
jurious to most field crops by prevent
ing cultivation. Complaints of grassy
fields come from every county and every
se,tion Of the State.
Cotton chopping made slow progress,
and cultivation practically none. SO
that fields are becoming foul, and Ia q
few localities stands are dying. Rust
and lice have appeared at few points.
The weather Wss too cool for the growth
Of cotton, and at many places it is
losing its previous healthy appearance.
There has been aslight improvement in
sea aisla.d,
Upland co-n made little growth, but
retsins its healthy look while on Low
laads, sll Of shich are very yet, soue
corn is turning yellow and firing, for
lack ofsu, shine and cl!ti7 aiion. Bot

not been ioished. In places corn i'm
proved, sao in others it deteriorate3.
Tobacco, with few exceptions, is doing
poorly, aud is in ursent need Of dry,
hot wessher. Rice made fair growth
and pisoeirg is in places finished Rust
is spreading on late wheat, but tie crop
generally is free from rust, aad all will
SOON be harvested, but the We sther has
been unfa7oraoie for this work.
The fruit prospects, especially for
peaches and apples, sre not so bright as
they have heretofore been, but wild
berries, cherries and pluns are plen'
tiful. Gardens show marke d improve,
ment. Pastures afford fine grazing
Melons need warmer weather. Large
shipments of besns and other truck sre
being made to northern markets.
The freshets Of last week we're more
destructive than first reports indicated,
and the o7erfowed areas have since
been kept vet by frequent rains, giving
little or 10 opportunity to replsnt the
fertile lands on which the crops Were
DESTROYED.

Shot at by a Burglar

The S:atu says: Mr.. A. T. e. Dukes,
member Of the board Of directors Of the
Ssate dispensary, had a thrilling eZ-
pe1ieIce with burglars at his home at
Branchville few nights ago. He told
the facts to an interested crowd Of
drumner7 in Columbis one night last
week. O1 the night in question, Mr..
Dukes was informed that somebody WAS
in his store. Investigation showed that
there was robber in the building, and
that be had lighted a lamp and vas

went to the csher. When he had
opened the door cautiously, Mr. Duk s

he missed load Of No. 2 shot which
would have struck hun buG for side

The burglar fired. Five times a pis-

and the latter stepped out o: the door.

Love Among SaYaSas

Among the Arlbs Of upper E sypt
the youth who prosposes TO girl must
submit to whipping at the hands Of
all her male relatives, and, says dry
Darrator, If he wishes to be considered
Rorth having be must receiVs the chas,
tisement, which is sometimes exceed.
iDgly severe, with an expression Of en-.
joyment."
Not iofreq1ently it is the maiden
herself who imposes the test. The
S.kslava girls Of Madagascar make their
lovers stand at short distance from a
clever svesr-shroWer AID catch between
the arms and SIDE every weapon flung
at them. If the youth displays fear
or fails to catch the spear he is igno-
niniou:ly rejected, but if there be
nc d:ucaiEg and the spears are caught
he Is at once proclaimed an accepted
lover"

Dangerous Preserved Foods.

Preserved fruits aad vegetables are
now in such common uss that it is
very inportant to know the quality Of
these articles, especially sioce so many
Of them contain elements which are
uaWholesome, if not positively danger.
GUS. The Year Book Of tbs Federal
department Of agriculture, soon to be
published, will contain much important
informal on for housekeepers and the
public generally. Professor ". D
Bigelow, one Of the governments chem
lists, has made a long series Of investi-
cations Of the use Of food preservatives
in this country, and has made some
startling discoveries which the depart
ment will publish in its forthcoming
report. Professor BigeloR says that
this business has become so large AID
employs so many hurtful chemicals
that a Law for its stringent regulation
should be enacted st once. There are
gre It many tasteless preserving fluids
On the market and Professor BigeloW
declares that every one Of them is in.
furious to the digestion. He analyz ID
81 samples Of praseryatives which ere
used largely snd found that 80 Of them
contained bcraZ or boric acid; 10 so /
ium, potassium or calcium sulphlte
s sslicylic acid or its sodium compound
Z benzoic acid or its sodium compound,
l toric acid and salicylic acid; l Dori;
acid and ammonium duorid; 3 formal;
6ehyde; l ammonium f1orid;2 pyrolig'
neous acii, and l bets nsphtnol. Pro
fessor Bigelow divides these adul.ec-
ated rreser7atives into two classes
those which are undoubtedly Injurious,
such as formsldehyde, salicyllc acid
and sulphites, and those whose toxic
aston is disputed, like borax and ben
zoic aicd. The sale Of the first class
he says should be positively prohibited,
and makes the startling statement that
in every case as much Of the hurtful
drug is used in preparing a pound Of
meat or quart Of liquid as is prescrlb:
ed as res ular do.e for al adult, and
in many casss seven Iimes the ordinary
dose. Professor BiseloT says that he
had great diff guilty IN Obtaining samples
Of most of the injurious preselvatiVes,
their manufacturers and agents evident.
lY knowing that they were engaged in
an injurious and disreputsble business.
By his exposure of these frauds and
menac,s S to health Professor BlgeloT
has done the country good service snd
has suggested must appropriate sub
jacs for both federal aao state legis!a.

Just beyond the Southern shops are
the coal chutes and all about these
are aidetracks. On one of these side
tracks and only a few feet from the
main track an engine was standing
that had only short tine before been
abandoned By its engineer and fireman.
As the train was passing the junction
Of this sidesrsck, the sWitch engine sud
denly dsshed backward into the moving
train. The first class day coach Wss
thrown over on it's side and partly &c.
nolished, the Pullman csr "Arc!urus'
was thrown from the track and one erd
smashed irto kindling wood while tbe
trucks were knocked from uHder the
combination smoker and passenger
coaoh. Those killed we're in the day
coach. Physicians and railroad off ,isls
were quickly on the scene, some Of the
Injured were taken to the hospitals and
the dead brought to Atlanta.
Soon after the wreck, G. B. Dunton,
an employe of the Southern road vas
arrested charged with disorderly con
dust. The charge was made only that
Dunton might be held. He was really
arrested on suspicion Of having run the
wild engine into the swiftly moving pas
senger train. Dunson denies that he
had anything to do with the wreck and
says he was not on the engine. The
Southern officials claim that he was seen
to get on the engine, and they say fur
ther that he had no business there, as
be is yard conductor. Duuton had
several gsshes IN his hesd which he sd
mits receiving in the wreck, but he
msintains that he was not on the en-
CINE. The officials Of the Southern socn
after the wreck occurred dispatched g
special train to McDoncugh to bring up
Mr.. Lennon whose wife and daughter
we're killed in the wreck. The father
accompanied the bodies back to Nc
Donough.
