Evades New Pistol Law by Leasing Guns.

Spartanburg, S. c., August 11.-Clever
dealers throughout the State have hit
upon an ingenious way of evading the
new pistol law which went effect on
July 1st. By recent act of tho Legisla-
ture, it is against the law to sell or offer
for sale a pistol less than 20 inches in
length and weighing less than three
pounds. The legislators thought this
measure would prove effective in abol-
ishing the pistol "toting" habit But
dealers have taken advantage of the
fact that the act does not specify against
the rental or leasing of the weapon, and
this may prove the undoing of the
object desired. A Spartanburg hard
ware dealer has inserted the following
advertisement in one of the local papers
"The new pistol law prohibits the sale
of pistols. Call at my store and l will
rent you one for any length of time"
The usual time for which weapon is
leased or rented is ten years, and pistol
worth $40 is transferred to the lessee for
that length of time.
There seems to be mutual under
standing on the part of the dealer and
purchaser that the weapon is not to be
retransferred even at the expiration of
the lease and the transaction in the first
deal settles the matter.

The Way to Plant Fall Potatoes.

1t is well known that Irish pota-
toes raised in the fall are better for
winter than those grown in the
spring. Potatoes that mature in
June are apt to become strong and
shriveled before winter. Most peo-
pie find it difficult to get stand in
August. AS soon as the early crop
is mature take them out of the
ground and place them in the shade
for two or three weeks. Then bed
them out in cool place somewhat
shaded. Cover first with straw or
leaves and then dirt. Water them
wei After they have been bedded
Is to 20 days take them up and
select such as are sprouting and plant
them. In that way good stand
may be secured if there is any mois-
ture in the ground. Plant them in
the water furrow and not on ridge.
Farmers can generally select piece
of bottom land for the second crop.
That is always better for the fall
planting. The lot manure and COM
mercial fertilizer used should be
thoroughly mixed with the soil
Cotton Plant.

Biggest Gun in the World.

After four years the 16-inch gun
which has been in the course of con-
struction at the Watervliet Arsenal,
Albany, N. Y, is completed.
This death dealing monster is the
largest gun ever made, and if it
proves a success more of the same
style will be made for the seacoast
defense. 1t is to be shipped to
Sandy Hook as soon as its carriage,
which is being made at Washington,
is finished, and when it is proved the
artillery experts of the world viii be
present at the trial. 1t is claimed
the gun will throw a shot 81 miles.
In order to discharge it it will re-
quire 1000 pounds of powder and
a 1000 pound projectile. Its mech
anism is 80 simple that it can be
operated by a child. After some
deliberation it has been decided to
put the gun on a disappearing car
riage at Fort Hamilton. The gun
weighs 100000 pounds.

"wilAous Religion Man is Lost"

u . .
The Emperor William of Germany
on June 10 delivered speech, at
Aix-la- Chapel, Prussia, in which he
gave utterance to the sentiment that
"man without religion is lost" and
spoke of the necessity of religion to
the welfare aud upbuilding of the
empire. After speaking of how
much his people owed to religion he
said in conclusion:
"This justifies me in saying that our
two great creeds must, while living
side by side, keep in view their one
great aim-to upbuild and strengthen
the fear of God and reverence for re-
ligion. Whether we are modern or
whether we labor in this or that field
it does not matter at all. He who
does not found his life on religion is
a lost man. l rejoice that 1 have
placed my whole empire, my people
and my army, as we'll as myself and
my house beneath the cross and under
the protection of Him who said
Heaven and earth shall pass away,
but My word shall not pass away"

To Kill Boil Worms.

Mr.. j. Minis Sullivan writes as
follows to the Greenville Noun
taineer:
The cotton boil worm has made
its appearance around Greenville and
is giving our farmers and business
community much uneasness. Now,
that we have it with us, the idea is to
go to work Immediately, resorting to
everything and way possible to check
the destruction that this worm is
want to do.
One of the most effective means
as yet dicovored is to drive stakes
over the field, allow them to project
about six inches above the cotton.
On these stakes place tin pans from
TWO to three inches in depth and in
these pans put ordinary house lamps.
Fill the pans with water nearly to
the top, having the surface of the
water covered with oil-caster oil
or melted lard will suffice. Light
these lamps about twilight every
evening, the weather permitting, and
let them burn during the entire
night.
The insect that bores into the boil
and deposits the egg that produces
these worms invariably flies against
the hot lamp chimney, becoming
paralyzed and falls into the oil or
grease that covers the surface of the
water contained in the pan. This
substance being too heavy for the
insect to extricate itself, holds it fast
and it perishes. Locate the lamps
from $50 to 200 feet apart. At a
cost of about 70 cents per acre you
can destroy these devastators. 1t is
necessary that every neighbor act in
conc rt to obtain complete radiance
of this uninvited visitor, best known
as the "sharpshooter."

The First Old Glory.

Having seen several articles in The
Courier recently in regard to the
origin of the term "Old Glory" as
applied to the United States flag,
Mrs. Jos. G. Steele, of Deer Lodge,
Montana, last week sent the follow
ing clipping to friend in Walhalla
with the request that it be published:
One morning, just as the brig
Charles Doggett was about to put
out to sea from Salem harbor, a
party of friends came aboard and
presented the captain, William
Driver, with beautiful American
flag, thirty-eight by nineteen feet
in size. Captain Driver called it
"Old Glory" 1t was the first flag
to bear that name now common to
all American flags.
This was in 1881, and for six years
"Old Glory" travelled about the
world. Then Captain Driver settled
down in Nashville, Tenn, and "Old
Glory" waved on land as freely as it
had on the sea. At the outbreak of
hostilities between the North and
South, the flag had to be hidden. 1t
was quilted into an innocent-looking
comfortable and lay on bed all
through the war. 1t was widely
known that Captain Driver had the
flag in his possession, and he often
was threatened that his house would
be burned down if he did not give
it up.
When the Sixth Ohio regiment
entered Nashville in February, 1862,
"Old Glory" was ripped out of the
comfortable which had concealed it,
and presented to the regiment to be
hoisted on the Capitol. In letter
to his daughter he describes the ex-
element of the scene:-
The Ohio Sixth regiment first
landed, and hoisted their beautiful
flag on our State House. A few
minutes after l carried m, flag
"Old Glory" as we have been used
to call ito the Capitol, and pre-
sented it to the Ohio Sixth. |
hcistcd it with my own hands on the
Capitol over this proud city, amid
the demonstrating cheers of thous-
ands. *** always hoped, although
against hope, that this hour would
come. Again and again have l told
those deluded men in the hour of
madness, "Gentlemen, l will yet
hoist my flag over yon proud fallen
capitol"
The flag was old and frail, and
when a high wind came up Captain
Driver took it down and sent up a
new one-the second "Old Glory"
This flag, which was given to the
Sixth Ohio Regiment, came to a sad
end. When the regiment left for
home it was placed in the rear of a
baggage wagon. There it was dis
covered by mule that had been on
short rations, apparently, for he
noscd it out and ate it |! The origi-
nal flag, however, suffered no such
humiliation. 1t was preserved, and,
after Captain Drivers death, sent to
the Essex Institute at Salem, where
it is still on exhibition.
