All. Your Rooms.

There is Il great difference between
changing the air in Il room, and just
mixing it. Suppose you open one
window in an otherwise close room
Ynn may think you are gaining plenty
Of fresh air, whereas you are only get.
ting more or Il less impure mixture.
Every one has been taught, prcSuin-
ably, to air sleeping room i'm the
morning, especially il it has been
used during the day or evening, before
retiring. Tie average woman is likely
to feel that she has attended to the
cXigcncicS Of the case when she has
thrown open Il window and closed the
door. The fresh air comes in, to he
sure, but much Of the old air remains,
and they tight it out between them.
lhc air in Il room can not he through

much sickness. Contagious diseases

and the reason is not obscure. Tho
fear Of admitting the cold keeps out
the fresh air. The poisonous principle
or microbc becomes SO concentrated

Some Census Mysteries.

From the returns OF the last census
1T appears that out Of 3O3 separate c.
cupations reported there are only
eight in which women workers fail TO
appear. 1t is not surprising that
there are no woman among the SOL
diers, sailors and marines Of the
United States government, yet there
are l53 women employed as boat
man" and sailors. Women haYe not
yet invaded the ranks of the city fire
departments, still not less than S79
women are returned in the same gener-
al class OF watchmen, policemen and
detectives. There are no women
street car drivers, though there are
two women "motOrmen" and thirteen
women conductors. Women have not
as yet taken up the employment of
telegraph and telephone ''linemen,' .
yet 22,500 Of them are operators for
these companies. There are no wo-
men apprentices and helpers among
the rOofers and skaters, yet two wo-
men are returned as engaged in these
cmplOymcntS. There are 120 women
plumber, 40 plastercrs, 167 brick and
stone masons, 24l paper hangers, L.
$50 painters and GLACIERS and 545 wo-
men carpenters and joiners. No wo-
men arc returned as helpers to steam
boilcrmakcrs, but eight women work
at this industry as full mechanics.
There are 1913 women blackSmiths,
81 machinlsts, 1910 women workers
i'm iron and steel, $50 in brass and l.,
775 women working in tin.

n Cruel Joke.

Criminal action, it is said, will be
taken against the persons implicated
in the burning Of Fred Sands, boy
Of Jericho, L. l. From what can be
learned, the boy had his hair cut at a
hotel. The barber soaked his hair
with alcohol, and some one threw q
lighted match on his head. Immcdi-
ately his head, face and neck were en-
ycloped with flames. Shrieking with
agony, the boy dashed back and forth
about the room until he was finally
caught and the flames cxtinguished.
He was then removed to lis home and

A special dispatch from Denmark
to The State says Wm. @. King,
wanted in Florence county for tile
killing Of Sam Rogers and tie wound.
ing of James Rogers, was caught there;
on last Thursday. The dispatch says.
The firm Of Mayfield s. King, COM
posed Of Senator S. G. Mayfield and
Wm.4C @. King, tobacco planters has
been dissolved by the arrest OF the
latter.
Our intendant AID chief or police
being wide awake, saw in the Nr.i
King, expert Gu tobacco planting, the
man wanted in Florence county for
murder and notified the sheriff that
he was here. Mr.. Thos. Burch ar
rived here Thursday morning at an
early hour from Florence and from
description given him said at once 1t
was the man wanted. s si,esi3
Expecting that King would give
trouble to those trying to take him,
and knowing that he would be armed
and knew the Florence sheriff at sight
1t was decided for Mr.. Burch to re-
main out Of sight and let our plucky
deputy, Capt. Hunter, arrest the man.
Deputy Hunter was assisted by G. j.,
Baxter, and expecting trouble they
had to do their work quickly.
King was armed as expected, hay-
ing pistol in the inside pocket of his
vest. Before going to arrest King his
room was visited and in it was found
a Winchester rlll>, which he brought
with him here and this was taken
possession of by the sheriff.
Mr.. King tells your correspondent
that he went direct to Sumter aft.r
the killing, from Sumter to Columbia,
and thence to Denmark, where he.has
been ever since; also that he Intended
going back to Florence in time for
court. 1t seems strange that he
should use his correct name here, but
1T is true that no one thought to ask
him his first or given name. Says he
thinks Senator Mayfield should put in
a good word for@him.
MIR. King, I learned, called on
Senator Maytield Tuesday morning af-
ter his arrival here and represented
himself as an expert on tobacco rails
Ing and made bargain with the sem
ator to plant 10 or II acres on shares,
he to do all the work and Maytield to {.
furnish the land and fertilizers. Mr.. 4
King was progressing nicely with his /

be fatal wounds. The girl was q wit

lasting fully ten minutes with negro
named John Workman whom he was

in his teeth. About this time help

The State says the governor has
been fairly flooded with letters from
various parties throughout the State
reporting eases needing the assistance
OF veterinary surgeons, particularly as
applied to diseases OF cattle and live
stock. The governor asks that in
future all such notifications be sent
direct to DR.. G.. e. NcSom at Clemson

All reports of smallpox cases should
bc sent direct to DR.. James Evans at

writing direct to him.
