The TROLLEY LINE.

The trolley project suggested
by DR.. P. NJ. Salley of Pinewood
has not fallen on closed eyes nor
deaf ears. We had a converse
tion with a gentleman in whose
business foresightedness we have
every confidence, ard who knows
every foot of soil the projected
trolley is to run, and he regards
it a happy thought. This gen
tleman was born and raised in
that vicinity and trudged day
after day behind a plow until he
came to this town to attend
school, today he is brilliant
light in the business world. and
regarded by all at home and
abroad, one of the keenest busi-
ness men this town has ever had.
The party of whom we speak,
when he read DR.. Salley's letter
and our editorial endorsement
told US, the scheme, also had his
endorsement, both with his in
duence and his money, that he
would willingly subscribe to the
stock, believing it will bring
back many returns, directly or
Indirectly, and that twill be the
means of developing and bring
ing in touch with progress, the
garden spot of the State. He
says, the lands through which
the proposed route is to go, if
made accessible with quick
transportation would increase in
value many fold, and in short
time, people from the rigid
northwest would settle here and
make Clarendon the banner
county of the State. A road
traversing such a country would
soon attract the attention of
all sorts of promoters, be-
cause we not only have the
fertility but we also have clim-
ate which permits labor to be
performed y months IL the year,
without the expensive prepara-
tions against the rigors Of the
north; in this day of minutes are
dollars, every moment saved is
so many dollars made, and the
promoter finding a location where
Transportation and communica-
ton is of quick and easy access,
the inducement to take advan-
tage Of it becomes great.
With such outlet from the
county seat we have every rea-
son to believe. our town would
become a great beneficiary for
that, with our progressive mer-

Asleep Amid Flames.

Breaking into q blazing home, some

inmates from death. Fancied secur-

when you neglect coughs and colds.
Don't do it. DR.. Kings New Discov-

protection against all throat, chest

THE TRULTS.

The question of how to effec-
tivelv make defense against
the trusts which are get
ting nearer and nearer to US,
and with remorseless greed fas-
tening their tentacles into the
vitals of the people, is giving
many of our students Of political
economy much concern. 1t does
not need a book-student to real
ize that there is something radl-
cally wrong, when a few men
can combine their means. and
by sheer strength, force out COM
petition, that they might first,
monopolize, they rule. We say
there is somthing wrong when
such a condition exists, now does
it exist9
Prof. John Bates Clark, IL. D., the
eminent political economist, OF Colum-
bia University, has contributed paper
to the Independent in which DR.. Clark
asserts that:
''Whoever pays coal bill at present
prices will find included in the amount
which he pays sum that may be re-
garded as a large fee for tuition in the
enconomics OF combinations. 1t IS a
.payment for instruction given comppl-
sorily by the laboratory method and IN
the most enlightened way. Not all the
schools and universities in the land
could in ten years do as much toward
making clear to the people what con-
solidated capital and consolidated labor
can Jointly accomplish as has been done
in ten weeks by the strike OF the coal
Miners
We do not have to single out
coal, for few of US in this Sec
ton are directly effected, but we
find nearly every article for hu-
man consumption and of human
necessity controlled by a Trust.
The cradle which rocks the in
fant to sleep is manufactured
under a trust-controlled price,
the book the boy carries to
school is in a Trust, the tools
with which he works are in a
Trust, the fertilizer he stimu-
lates the grain to give him bread,
is in a Trust, the lumber and
nails to build his home is in a
Trust, the coffin in which he is
buried is in a Trust, and about
the only thing not in a Trust,
is the grave the man is placed
in. We are fast becoming en-
slaved by this combination of
wealth, and the people are not
yet aroused to their condition.
We call this a free and indepen-
dent government, when the fact
is, there is no government on
earth more shackled than ours.
The Trusts have captured every
department. Of the government
from the United States senate
down to our State legislature,
and, every little municipality
wherever it has interests the
Trust always sees that it's own
is in control. The people feel
the oppression like they feel a
draft which gives them cold, but
they do not always know where
it comes from, hence it is easy
for the Trust to mislead them
and continue to control.

STRENGTH of a Mules Tall.

Mr.. Howard Saunders in across
the Andes and Down the Amazon"
says he never understood why the
vaqueros Of Central America when
at work lassoing cattle always fas-
tened the end of the lasso round
their horses tail instead of to a
ring in the saddle until he saw an
accident on mountain path.
A team of mules passed his party.
These mules were tied, the head of
one to the tail Of that in front, and
so on, and as Mr.. Howard Saunders
passed one of the mules kicked out
viciously, missed its footing and
went over the precipice. There it
hung, scrambling in the vain en-
deavor to get footing, while the
mules to which it was fastened
stood like rocks on the path above
till the men succeeded in passing a
lasso round the hanging beast and
drawing it up. The tail was cut to
the bone, but the mule was other
wise unhurt. The incident shows
the remarkable strength of the
equine tail.

Throwing Old Shoes.

The custom of throwing one or
more old shoes after the bride and
groom when they go to the church
or when they start on their wedding
tour is so old that the memory Of
man stretches not back to the be-
ginning. Some believe it is a lin
gering trace of the custom among
savage nations of carrying away the
bride by violence. Others think it
is relic Of the ancient law of ex-
change or purchase and that it for
merly implied the surrender by the
parents of all dominion or author
ity over the daughter.
1t was Jewish custom. In Deu-
teronomy XIV, 5-lO, it is found that
the widow refused by the surviving
brother asserted her independence
by '1oosing his Shoes" and in the
story of Ruth it is told that it was
the custom in exchange to deliver a
shoe in token of remuneration. It
was the custom in ancient times to
place the husbands shoe at the head
Of the nuptial couch in assertion of
his domination and that he assum-
ed the government of the house
hold.

The Freed Sarfs.


The suddenness with which the
Russian serfs were transformed into
freemen on March 3, 1861, is indi-
Gated by the story told Of a Russian
nobleman who happened to be tray-
cling and, having forgotten the
date, was awakened at midnight by
his servants, who said they would
then take their leave Of him, as they
we're free.
The gentleman found that he
was left in the middle Of a forest on
dark night. The scr ants consid-
eratelY. before they left him, pointed
out the direction in which his route
lay. The coachman warned him to
be careFI Of the horses, as they did
not like being driven in the foresl
in the dark. Then, bidding adieu
to his eyceilency, his late serfs dis
appeared in the forest.

TWO CURIOUS |
The Long Billed Avocet I.
Necked Slit.

The Long 6ttteo AVoCcI Z
Necked Slit.
There are two birds, Nor
common in the central p
Tinted States and abunda
far west, which occasional
cas- ward to the middle ana NJ
Atlantic coast and have been 81
on Long Island. These are /
American avocet and the bla
necked silt, both Of them su
GENTLY striking in appearance to 4
tract immediate attention. The az
Get is a slender creature, sixteen
eighteen inches from end of bill
tip Of tail. It's wings and should
are black, the tail pearl gray. f
rest of the plumage is white, chan
ing to chestnut brown on the necl
and head. Such combination d.
colors is noticeable enough, but
when to this are added extraordi-
narily long blueNlegs and a very slen-
der bill, comprising nearly fourth
of the birds entire length and hav-
ing a strong upward curve, a most
fantastic object results.
It's actions are no less peculiar
than its looks. Wading in shallow
water, it bends forward so that the
curve of the bill touches the bottom
and it swings it back and forth in
unison with it's advancing steps.
The movement suggests a man
swinging a scythe, the object being
to discover with the very sensitive
bill the food which the muddy bot
tom conceals.
The black necked silt somewhat
resembles the .avocet, but its needle
like bill is perfectly straight and is
not swung from side to side in walk
ing. The length of its bill has led
the western farmers to call it the
lawyer In alighting the silt is as
awkward as boy just learning to
walk on wooden stills, and it seems
to have fully as much difficulty in
gaining its equilibrium, stumbling
and tottering when it first alights.

A Pair of Them.

Those who have first gazed in dis
may and then laughed at their own
distorted reflection in a concaVe or
convex mirror will appreciate an
amusing occurrence lately witnessed
at a menagerie.
Here and there between the cages
were placed trick mirrors which re-
fected distorted image. An Irish
man, after a critical survey of the
monkeys, had wandered away from
his better Lalf and suddenly found
himself in front of one of these mir
rors. After a glance at his distort-
cd reflection he rushed back to his
wife, who was still watching the
antics of the monkeys.
"Come away wild We, Bridget
he exclaimed. "Oi've found a big
ger trate than that-the ugliest
haste in the show! He's in q little
cage in the corner"
Bridget followed her husbands
lead, and he dragged her in front of
the "little cage" To his astonish-
ment there was more in the Gage"
than he expected.
"Begorra, Bridget" he exclaimed,
"there's a pair av emp London

Shark Skins and Shark Fins.

In all the equatorial islands of
the north and south Pacific shark
fishing is a very profitable industry
to the natives, and every trading
steamer and sailing vessel coming
into the port of Sydney or Auckland
from the islands Of the mid-Pacific
brings some tons Of fins, tails and
skins Of sharks. The principal mar
kets for the former are Hongkong
and Singapore, but the Chinese
merchants Of the Australasian colo
MES will always buy sharks fins
and tails at from six to eleven
peneeaper pound, the fins bringing
the best price on account of the
larger amount of glutinous matter
they contain, for which they are
highly relished by the richer class Of
Chinese as delicacy. The tails are
also appreciated as an article sof
food in China, and, apart from their
edible qualities, they have further
value as base for clear varnishes,
etc.

Coal. Damp and Dry.

If load of coal is left out Of
doors, exposed to the weather, say,
for a month, it loses one-third of
it's heating quantities. If ton Of
coal is placed on the ground and left
there and another ton is placed
under shed, the latter loses about
% per cent of its heating force, the
former about AZ per cent. Hence
it is great saving of coal to have
it in dry place, covered over onpall
sides. The softer the coal the more
heating power it loses, because the
volatile and valuable constituents
undergo slow combination.

Defeated by Nature.

Nutlnegs grow on little trees
which look like small pear trees and
which are generally not over twenty
feet high. The flowers are very
much like the lily of the valley.
They are pale and very fragrant.
The nutmeg is the seed of the fruit,
and mace is the thin covering over
the seed. The fruit is about the
size of a peach. When ripe, it
breaks open and shows a little nut
inside. The trees grow on the
islands of Asia and tropical Amer
lea. They bear fruit seventy or
eighty years, having ripe fruit on
them all the season. A fine tree in
Jamaica has more than 1000 nut
megs on it every year. iA3ls
The Dutch used to have all this
nutmeg trade, as they owned the
Banda island and conquered all the
other traders and destroyed all the
trees. To keep the price up they
once burned three piles of nutmegs,
each Of which was said to be cas- big
as a church"

Why You Have a Nose.

Very few people know how to
breathe properly, and those that do
know seldom do it. Oxygen is the
one Indispensable thing for the
maintenance of health and life, and
the only way we get it is by breath
ing it in the air.
We must breathe in the right
way, however, not only to get the
necessary supply of oxygen, but to
keep out certain impurities that
either bring diseases directly or pre-
pare the system to fall an easy VIC
tim to them.
The most important thing per-
haps is to form the habit of breath
ing through the nostrils. The air
should be made of nearly the same
temperature as the blood before it
is taken into the lungs, and its pas
sage over the network of blood yes
sells in the mucous membrane of the
nasal canals gives it the necessary
heat.
Besides, the air always contains
dust particles, and if we breathe it
in through the mouth we run the
risk of the irritation and infection
that such particles often produce.
In breathing through the nostrils,
on the contrary, we draw in the air
gently along a system of winding
canals, and this not only moderates
its temperature. but purifes it at
the same time.

where that shall be necessary and
