Pickcns during the past week is
enough to mako one think that
Pickens is right in the lead as a
market. And she is.
Tho announcement has been
made that J. +. Normcnt who SO
tuirly and ably reported the state
campaign proceedings in the late
campaign for the Columbia State
and the Charleston News and Cou-
rier, will be private secretary to
Gov. Hayward. This will doubt
less prove good selection and ono
satisfactory to the people at large.
Central has accomp lished what
she saw was possible and at the
same time necessary for the presor-
yation OF her rank as first rate
town. Her people got together
and kept agitating the question
and working and subscribing till
now they are assured that two
hundred thousand dollar cotton
mill will be an asset, contributing
TO their wealth and Importance, by
the spring of 1908.
Without encroaching upon the
solemnity of the event, it may be
remarked that Pickens is not un-
known to the outside world when
we consider the facts and circum-
stances connected with tho sad
death Of poor railroad tramp in
Our town. This unfortunate man
had evidently travelled over this
great country, but death claimed
him in an unwonted hour, far
away from friends at Picllens,
where according to his wandering
fancy he had come to lodge for n
night, doubtless because he had
heard something of Pickens in his
travels. But with I'LL this, it is
sad.

PickenS Equal to Her Opportunities.

Almost every railroad station
in South Carolina is claiming to
DO tho best cotton market IN its
section, but the facts remain and
tho records will show that Pickcns
always pays the top of the market
for cotton aud all farm products
and tho merchants Of Pickons are
always alive to the trade while, by
tho peculiar conditions that opor-
ate to their advantage, they arc
enabled to meet competition il
prices Of goods they sell to thcil
customers. There is no Questiol
about it, Pickene can't be boat a.
place for trade, either in buyln,
or selling, and it ia the wiso ant
proper thing to do to look we'll in
to this before going to the expense
Of hauling tho raw products a lonl
distance to market when the bes
market is right at home.

ALEXANDER. /"

A fugitive telegram from St. Peters burg announcing that General Gourko had been selected by the Czar to lead a force of forty thousand infantry and thirty thousand cavalry and artillery against Turkey in 1878 led me on what seemed at first wild goose chase.
 I received orders one afternoon in the city of Paris to proceed at once to Rus sia and join the army under Gourko. Accustomed to obeying orders prompt ly, and having learned that trusting to luck often secured success, I travelled on the rail from Paris to St. Peters burg, enduring serenely the many dis comforts and frequent delays of rail- ways I arrived at St. Petersburg one savagely cold February morning, passed through the minute and vexatious po- lice examination extended to all for eigners in Russia, and finally got domi- ciled on the second floor of a bleak and cheerless caravansary, not far from
 the residence of the American minister.
 Losing no time, I called upon the American minister and explained my errand.
 My dear sir" said the minister, q cannot help you in any way. It is quite evident that you do not understand the
 Russian official system. We are now in St. Petersburg, the capital city of au-
 tocratic Russia. Your demand would,
 no doubt have received prompt atten-
 tion in Washington and polite conside-
 ration in either London or Paris. Here | ,l
 picious, and in official circles you would
 be regarded and recorded as possible spy If you are persistent, it may hap pen that you will be subjected to a mid night visit from the imperial police, your private papers seized and you might even find yourself an the long and painful road to the Siberian mines. But how can the Russian govern ment send an inoffensive American cit zen to Siberia without your knoWl- edge? It seems ridiculous. What are you here for?"
 You remind me of the story of the man under sentence of death. whose friends insisted that his sentence could not be carried into effect. The prison CTS reply was that it was all very well to say that the authorities could not hang him, but he was afraid they would, and 1t so happened that he did swing at the end of rope"
 Your simile is not at all like one of Abraham Lincoln's. l do not exactly see the point" said I.
 Tt is the best l can offer" replied the American minister. Let me explain. You are duly registered by the imperial police. and, had you not visited me, would not have known of your presence | in St. Petersburg. Suppose-and 1t is
 not at all an improbability-that you disappear the day after tomorrow. could not learn that fact for day or

POPPED HOUSE PLANTS IN WIN.

Suggestions From a Gardener on Theii
 Care.

Suggestions From a Gardener on Their
 Care.
 It is the time of year when the potted plants in the house are showing for the first time whether they are going to find their new winter surroundings agreeable. Some are infested with ln- sects and should be fumigated with a. smudge of tobacco at once; or there are flowers that will suffer from the smoke, the tobacco can be used in liquid form.
 But there is a great difficulty to meet that is in no way visible to the eye, and that is the management of the air. For a long time I was at a loss to know why plants, delicate ones as well as nancy, did better in a cool, north window, with no sun at all and much less heat than the average livng room requires, than they did in warm, sunny, south Wln- dow, with the apparent advantages all on the side of the latter. It is true that the cool treatment developed the plants slowly, but that was just what was wanted so long as they were healthy' for primrose of yellow flax would blos- som there all winter most profusely, while even in greenhouse they would soon be out of blossom
 In the warm win low the plants grew, but in such sickly. spindling fashion that it was saddenlng to look at them and they were at the entire mercy of the parasites. Of course it was lack of proper management Of the air that did it all In the north window this matter was sef-regulated. The temperature was lower at night than Tn the day. The front door was just around an angle, so that when 1t opened 1t let fresh air, but no directly on the plants, which were further shielded by curtains It was enough to satisfy them But in the south window there was often too much eat and always too little fresh air, as more was needed in that case The temeprature during the ] day sometimes rose to 30 degrees. espe- cialIy if the sun shone out, while at night it went down to 40 degrees per haps. This is strain that few plants will stand long. Better keep them In cool and partly dark rooms than that. Take alesson from the green house mangear He has house, in the nrst place. that is much less air-tight than an ordinary dwelling, still he has ven tilators all along the roof, and he white washes the glass as soon as the sun IS troublesome.
 A good rule is to let the temperature of the plant corner run up to 65 degrees or 70 degrees during the day, and then drop to 15 or 20 degrees less at night If there is a window on two sides Of the corner. let the one that is away from
