DIVORCES IN SUPERIOR COURT.
Nearly a Dozen Marked Mondays
Proceedings.

The first day of the May term of
Sumter superior court, beginning yes
terday, might very appropriately be
designated as ''Dlvorce Day" as the
bonds of nearly a dozen mismatched
couples were severed, and those thus
freed from bondage left rejoicing.
Nearly all of these were negroes,
there being but one white couple.
Judge Littlejohn declined the re-
quest made to defer the session for q
week, and this week is being DEVOTED
to civil business. This session of
court promises to be short one.
In his lengthy and very strong
charge to the grand jury Judge Little
john touched upon the disinclination
of some traverse iuries to believe testi-
mony of witnesses who assisted the Off
GERS here in making cases against al
legged violators of the local option laws
Such testimony. he said, was to be
credited, as it was often necessary that
officers have the assistance of others
in making arrests.
The court also took occasion to rasp
some of the Justices of peace for settling
cases out of court where state war
rants had been issued. The court was
very clear and emphatic as to this
practice.
WithaI, the charge of Judge Little
john was one of the strongest and best
ever delivered here.
The grand jury organized by elect
ing Mr.. W. A. Wilson foreman and at
once proceeded to business This
body is a representative one and num-
bers among its members many of Sum
ter's ablest and most conservative citi-
zens, who will carry out the law.
This week will be devoted to civil
business, the court entering upon the
criminal docket next Monday.

DIGGING UP THEIR OvERCoATs,
Americas Back In Winter Quarters
Yesterday.

The citizen who came up town yes
terday, the 9th day of May, and be-
held his fellowman clad in an ulster,
didn't have the jlmjams, as he at first
feared. Lots of people had them on,
and the scene presented was better
suited to November than balmy May.
A high wind blew Sunday, and the
falling temperature rendered fires
quite comfortable. Indeed, they were
the rule rather than the exception.
That magnificent truth smasher, the
Oldest inhabitant, declared he had
never seen such cool weather here in
May. There will be no injury to the
crops except the twisting of young
cotton by the wind and the prevalence
of lice.

LOSS BY LIGHTNING
Mules, Horse, Wagons and Other
Property Burn.

Mr.. W. FL. Statham, whose planta-
tion lies near Cobb, in the Fifteenth
district of Sumter, came up yesterday
and reported the total destruction of
his big barn by fire at late hour Sat-
urday night, together with the greater
portion of Its contents.
The barn was set on fire by a stroke
of lightning.
Mr.. James J. Murray, who superin-
tends this farm, was awakened by the
flash and rushed out to find the barn
in flames.
Calling for help, he set to work to
llberate the mules, horses and hogs
locked in the stockade. At the door
he found two fine mules, a horse and
four hogs lying dead, having been
killed by lightning.
With difficulty he sayed six mules
and several fine hogs.
The frightened animals were driven
from the blazing building with diff
Guilty. Many fine hogs that escaped
had the hair burned off as they ran
through the fire.
Mr.. Murray likewise saved % bush
els of peas and several sets of harness
stored aloft ere the flames drove him
back. Mr.. Statham's loss is two
mules, horse, four hogs, 800 bushels
new oats, wagons, buggy, pillow tools
and some guano stored in the building.
The oats had just been cut and stor-
ed two days previous.
Forty feet away were two other large
buildings stored with oats and corn.
Fortunately the wind favored these
and they escaped the flames. Only by
hard and heroic work was anything
saved at all.
Mr.. Statham's loss Is about $1,000,
with no insurance on building OF
contents.

COMBATING DISEASE.
why Disinfectants Should Be Used
Literally and with Regularity
in Poultry Yards.

When roup has become established
on farm the germs remain in the
soil for months, depending on the
kind of roup, however, as the term is
used to apply to consumption, diph-
liberia, scrofula, etc. The entire
premises should be disinfected two
or three times, drenching the house
floors and roosts, grounds, etc., with
mixture made of one pound of cop.
peras and bluestone (sulphate of cop.
peri, each dissolved in ten gallons OF
hot water, then adding one pint OF
sulphuric acid. Kill all the birds and
get others that are known to be
healthy. The labor of handling sick
birds is too costly when the whole
flock is attacked. Prevention is bet
ter than cure. Diseases are not al
ways contagious. When some mem.
Der of the flock seems to have an all
ment, and no others are affected, it
may be safely ascribed to some
cause peculiar to the individual. For
instance, when one of the fowls
twists it's neck around, seems to
shake it's head, cannot eat or is help.
less, it is difficult to arrive at a cor.
rect knowledge of the cause. But it
may be rheumatism from dampness
pressure of blood on the brain from
high feeding, or an injury. The only
remedy then is to keep the fowl quiet
on straw, and feed only once day
on lean meat. It it does not soon re-
cover it will be of no value except for
the pot. Do not waste time with
birds that are always sick.-Farm
and Fireside.

A. ia the Color of Yo1k..

When fowls are deprived of green
food the yolks of their eggs are very
pale yellow. These are much valued
for cake baking. Some people have che
notion that these pale yolks denote in
ferior quality, but this is not the case;
1T simply shows lack of green food,
full supply of which will soon inten-
xsfey the color of the same. Again, many
think that blood spot on the yolk is a
sure sign Of a bad egg. But this is not
necessarily SO, for at times this spot is
deposited upon the yolk from a rupture
caused as it passes the oYiduct and is
present in the egg when perfectly fresh.
This fact shows the necessity of test
ing even fresh eggs by candle prior to
packing for market; for while these
spots do not really injure the eggs, peo-
pie dislike to use them, and their pres
ence causes buyers to think that you
send out bad eggs. Rural New Yorker.

chick coat of leaves or straw. On
such floor fowls will rest most COM
fortab.y. If roosts are provided, even.
low ones, some of the fowls will not
go upon them, their great weight
making them timid. They will huddle
.on the floor under the roost, where
they would become cold, and their
plumage probably soiled in the morn
Iing. A low small addition is made to
the regular poultry quarters, the
hight not being more than half that
of the latter. Across the front of the
opening is a burlap curtain, hung on
"a wire, which is drawn across the
opening on cold nights, making the
fowls very warm within This low
addition can very easily be made if
the poultry quarters are in another
building, the night quarters being let
out into the room adjacent.-J. E.
Jones, in Farm and Home.

PARASITES ON POULTRY.
Camphor Balls, Says One Writer, Are
Sure Death to Red Mites and
Other Species of Lice.

A poultry raiser, who for several
years experimental with various insec-
ticides in search of reliable remedy
for the little red mites and the various
species of the hen body louise that in
tests the nests of sitting hens, could
find nothing effective till he tried cam
phor balls says Farmers Guide. He
says he has had the hens leave the
nest before the eggs were Matched,
completely covered with these pests,
and has taken off many broods of
chickens when he would find half a
dozen or more big white lice on their
little heads, and this, too, after hav-
ing busted the hen and nest well sew
eral times during the incubation with
various kinds of insect powders.
The balls are perfectly harmless to
the hen and chicks and the hen with
her brood of chicks will leave the nest
absolutely free from lice. Make your
nest and put in the eggs, and at the
same time place in the nest with the
eggs one camphorated ball, which is
sufficient for the entire incubation, and
your hen and little chicks will leave
the nest free from all kinds of YER
min. When you have placed the little
ball in the nest you need not bother
any more. 1t will evaporate and get
to be very small toward the latter
part of the incubating; but never
mind, it has done it's work.
Since using the camphor ball he has
not raised single chick with scaly
legs. 1t is a good idea to keep one
of the balls in the nest where the
hens lay, as it keeps them free from
vermin. The camphorated ball is a
little white ball, and can be had from
any drug store.

LONG-TONGUED BEES.
Very Few of the Insects Now on ahe
Market Can Master the Red
Glover Blossoms.

We are now putting forth an unusual
effort to improve the honey bee in
length of tongue. Beekeepers are after
the red clover honey crop, of which the
tubes of the blossoms are so deep the
bees cannot reach the nectar in them.
1t is we'll known that the common red
clover is the heaviest nectar-producing
plant known, and the honey from it is
of fine quality.
1t has been discovered that an occa-
sional colony of bees work on red clover
blossoms, and in some instances have
stored large surplus from this we'll
known plant. Beekeepers have taken
the hint from this, and have made in
vestigations to find that some bees have
longer tongues than others. and on this
account are able to reach the honey in
the red clover tubes.
1t was said that the Italian bees could
master the red clover blossoms, and the
job was placed in their hands, but after
some big stories of ina gination and the
lapse of timeitwas discovered that but
very small per cent. of bees worked
the red clover. After careful measure
ments of the tongues of bees, it has been
discovered that there is variation all
the way from fifteen one-hundredths to
tWenty-three one-hundredths of an
inch, the last-named being very rare.
1t seems that if we can attain the
length of twenty-five one-hundredths
OF an inch, and have all the bees come
up to this standard, the red clover crop
is ours. Beekeepers have already be-
gun the work to attain this improve
ment by select breeding, and judging
from other improvements obtained in
different ways by line breeding of the
Italian bees, this improvement is not
an impossibility.
The honey that would be obtained
from red clover if the bees could get it,
would add largely to the total crop of
this country.-A. M. Duff, in National
Rural.
