WALTER LETTER.
ARGUS E
WALTER, N. c,
March 8, 1904.

March 8, 1904.
MI and Mrs. John r. Smith, of
your city spent last Thursday at Oak
Glen.
Miss Julia Gurley and Master
Edgar were visiting relatives IN our
community last Sunday.
Mr.. and Mrs. John M. Mitchell
left last week for a few days visit TO
Mr., and Mrs. June Shine, at Faison.
Mesdames H. T. Jones and Jno. S.
Edwards left last week on a visit to
their sister Mrs. Mimms, in South
Carolina.
Mr.. Bob Caldwell was called to
Lemon Springs last Thursday, the
condition of his sister Miss Dixie Lee
being worse, her many friends will
sincerely regret to learn.
MI. lobe Stevens, o your city, and
Mr.. John M. Harkey, of Lexington,
N. c., were visitors here last Friday
where their presence added pleasure.
Mr.. Harkey is a life long friend of
the family of Mrs. DR.. Crawford.
We again call the attention of the
public to the Oyster Supper and
musical entertainment at Pine For
est, Tuesday night, March 10, and
hope they will have a good crowd.
Let everybody attend and feast the
soul upon the sweet strains of in
spring music, the inner man upon
the luscious bivalve and other tempt
ing viands, which those good wo-
men know so we'll how to prepare,
and at the same time help a worthy
cause.
One of the heaviest rains that has
visited this section in some time fell
here Monday morning, which will
put our already belated farmers an
other week behind. There has been
practically III farm work done, but
our farmers are in good heart, and
when the weather ever settles, will
enter upon their duties with in
creased energy and a stronger deter
animation to make up all the lost
time possible.
From the amount of fertilizers
shipped here by the "a load, if cot
ton is below ten cents next fall,
many farmers will be like the old
farmer who was riding home on a
ton of guano singing, "In the sweet
bye and bye" and was overtaken by
his family physician, who said to
him, eyes, Bill, and if you don't
mind, In the sweet bye and bye,
when you go to pay for all that gu
sano, you will change your tune to,
4'show pity Lord"
Our young friend Mr.. Carl Swim
son had an experience with a moe
4casin last week, which makes him
nervous now to think of it. He went
to a ditch, near the river, where ht
was planting oats, to get some water
He sat down on the bridge anC
leaned back with his hand on tn,
bridge for support, and pinioned
large moccasin's head between hi
hand and the bridge, and his snake
ship coiled around his arm fou
times and squeezed with all hi
power. Mr.. Swinson fortunatel,
wore gloves, which saved him a bite
land when he got clear they bot
"got away and neither one wa
hurt.

We want to direct the attention of
our readers to the publishers an
nouncement which appears in this
weeks issue and urge that advan-
tage be taken of the offer, as it will
give our subscribers a years supply
of the best reading matter at prac-
tically no cost. We consider the ar
rangement we have made with The Los
Angeles Times a particularly favora-
BILE one, as 1t makes j. y. ~ sCr III
to offer our readers The Lines Illus
trated Weekly Magazine fer which
they charge $3.50 per year. at a price
that covers the cost of mailing only.
And when it is understood that the
publication we offer at such ridicu-
lously low figure consists of % to 80
large pages which are equivalent to
12O pages of magazine of the aver
age size, the opportunity we are giving
our subscribers will, in n measure, be
appreciated. To arrive at an adequate
conception of what we offer it is only
necessary to know that-the brightest
journalists in this country and Eu-
rope are contributors and add to this
the solid articles, thoughtful editorials
and bright miscellany which appear,
weekly, and some idea of our liberal
proposition can be formed.
The publishers request that all sub
scribers of this paper who are inter
ested in good reading, take advantap,
of the offer made by us and send for
a sample copy of the magazine. which
will be mailed free of charge. a
glance at the publication will convince
the most skeptical that no newspaper
ever made a more generous PROPOSE
ton or offered greater inducements to
obtain large list of subscribers Re
quests for sample copies will be givel
prompt attention and readers of this
paper need have no hesitancy in call
ing on MS for full and detailed in
formation regarding our proposition.
We want it known that an advanta-
geous contract exists between this
paper and the Los Angeles Times-an
agreement that is beneficial to our
If not one that will make the
publishers plutocrats. You are in
yited to call or write to us for ad-
iitional information.

Ships Coal to Sweden.

Two or three years ago the Domin-
ion Coal company of Sydney. Nova
Scotia. shipped cargo of coal to
Sweden to be used as an experiment
on government railways. The expert
ment proved such big success that
the company now ships some $4,000 or
10000 tons annually for general con-
sumption in Sweden. This year the
company is to make a further expert
ment in the foreign market by send
ing some of its product to Mexico to
be tested on the government railway
there.

Kills Insects by Electricity.

Recently in a paper read before
technical society at Odessa. Mr.. 10
kuzejewski described a way of kill
ing the young of insects in fields by
electricity. A dynamo is carried on
wagon (horse or automobile), and the
current excites an induction coil. CIV
ing a high tension discharge. One
pole of the coil is to the metal tires
and the other to metal brushes pass
ing over the ground. The discharge
kills the grubs, etc, in the soil.

NO SONGS FOR THE SOLDIERS.
British officials Oppose Issuing Of
Book of Lyrics for Use Of
Troops.

Rollicking songs may be written for
the soldier to sing at camp gatherings,
and melodies with a stately swing may
be composed for him to sing as he
marches, but the treasury has forbidden
him an official song book.
Col. harrington Foote, the command
ant OF Kneller hall, the military mu-
sical school, where the bands are
trained to play, thought 1t would be q
good thing to have a standard book Of
soldiers songs, something after the
style of the ''Soldatenl ederbuch," ;" of the
German army.
Capt. Basil Hood wrote a fine, rollick-
ing song, entitled "On the High Road"
and Mr. Hamish MacCunn set It to lust
the kind Of music that would help q
body Of soldiers along on the march.
They could sing 1t with a swing, and
there is heartiness In the words Mr.,
MacCnnn gave the military authorities
the copyright for use in the proposed
soldiers song book and a number of
suitable songs, old and new, were looked
UP In readiness for the collection, a copy
of which, it was hoped, would soon be
presented to each soldier. re-
But the treasury shook it's head, re-
fusing to sanction the expenditure of
few pence on each soldier and the
project has fallen through.

SEA SIGNAL SYSTEM.
Test Of New Invention Which Would
Prevent Collisions.
simplicity and Eniciency Are shown
ships to he Apprised Of Ap-
proach of Other Vessels
Ten Miles on.

The submarine signal system invent
ed by Prof. Gray and Arthur J. Mundy
to reduce to minimum the danger OF
collision at sea. has just been subjected
to service test Of marked nervousness
and demonstrated its efficiency. BY
means of this system the master of a
vessel. standing at the wheel, can have
instant knowledge of the approach of
another ship even when from six to ten
miles separate the two. and will know
when he is near perilous shoals or reefs
long before any whistling or bell buoy
could send warning through heavy
fog.
The recent test was made on the
steamship James 8. Whitney during
run, beginning at midnight, between
New York city and Boston. II had been
decided not to test the device for dis
tances. but merely to establish its re-
liability over stretches suited to the or
dinary requirements of commerce. But
owing to mishap in preliminaries. the
signal squads at the first four stations
were not notified in time to send their
signals. However, when the Pollock
Rip Light was picked up The signal
squad understood it's work and was on
the alert. When the James S. Whitney
had the station two miles on her beam
and the big steamboat was pitching
heavily in the choppy sea the signal
system was operated with absolute sue
cess
From all the other stations passed on
the run, among them Pollock Rip
Shoals, and Boston Lightship the sig
nails were read with amazing distinct
ness.
The Gray-Mundy apparatus looks
much like an ordinary house telephone.
without the transmitter. II was hung
In the pilot house of the James S. Whit
ney, within easy reach of the pilot. The
connection between the sending and re-
ceiving stations is wireless under the
water. the sea itself constituting the
medium. In sending sig
nails bell is sunk 10 feet and the wires
OF the receiving station run to an equal
depth beneath the hull.
The receiving instrument picks ND the
vibrations when the sunken bell is
tolled. All the experts on the steamboat
were astonished at the simplicity of the
device. They realized, though. the Sc
cret OF the invention lay in the chem
lcaas used In the receiver. Prof. Gray
and his associates would not divulge the
lature of the agents they employed, but
aumltted carbon played an important !
part In the composition.

Il Will Be Senator Dick.

Hon. Charles II. Dick will be elect.
ed to Senator to the place made va
cant by the death of Hon. M. A.
Hanna. This is as it should be. He
is probably better fitted and by his
long public service and labors for the
party more entitled to the honor than
any other citizen of Ohio That he
will fill the position with honor to
himself and this great State, none
who know him doubt for a moment. 1,
The Republican leaders of the State
and majority of the legislature have
decided that General Dick shall be
given this honor. On Monday next
the legislature will elect him by the
unanimous vote of the Republican
members. For years General Dick
has been chairman of the Republican
State Committee and Senator Han
mas most trusted friend. He has lead
the Republicans of Ohio to victory
often and the enormous ma jorities
was largely due to his excellent lead
ership. That he will be elected with
out contest is gratifying to the Re.
publicans of Ohio generally. The
work OF the legislature will not be in
terfered with.
No better choice could be made nor
one that would be more popular with
the people of Ohio.

BOAT FOR SPONGE FISHERS.
Experiments Being Made with Sub.
marine Vessel i'm Tunfs with
View 10 Saving Lives.

Experiments are being made At La
Goulette, Tunis, with a new submarine
vessel, Invented by Able Raoul, the vi
car general Of Carthage, to be used in
sponge fishing. This vessel is made OF
steel and resembles in shape huge por
poise. The entrance to the central cham
ber is Theoretically closed by heavy lid
fastened with screws, and the occupants
survey their surroundings through port
holes. A long spear terminating in a
graphing hook, worked from the inte-
rior of the submarine, seizes the sponge
and deposits 1t in net at the side of the
vessel. The craft is propelled by cleo
uicity and furnished by accumulators
through cable attached to a vessel on
the surface, with which 1t is in constant
communication by means of telephone.
The vessel is lighted by electricity and
a lamp hanging in the bow lights up
the surroundings while the sponge fisher
Is beneath the water. Three men NAV
easily descend in the vessel at the same
time.
The object Of the vessel is to reduce
the great mortality among sponge
fishers.

QUEER FIND OF ILLINOISAN,
Evidences of Prehistoric Age Found
by Mayor of CarbondaIe in
Sandstone CIin.

Mayor j. n. Hindman, OF Carbondale,
ILL.,, who lives In lockwood precinct,
just on the borders of the county, has
found embeddedin the solid If of sand
stone near his home evidences of the
Matching place of prehistoric bird.
That section OF country has for years
been a rich field for archaeological study.
II lies near the southern extremity of
the glacial drift. Not only has he dis
covered small nests of eggs, but also
portions of the leg and foot of the bird.
In the excavations which have been
made the nests contain each three eggs.
They vary in size, which would indi-
cate different kinds of birds. The
largest eggs are nearly two feet in d.
ameter, and weigh several hundred
pounds. They are readily picked from
the soft sandstone which surrounds
them, and are Of greater weight In
proximity to this evident nesting place
were found petrified portions of the leg
and foot, which were of gigantic pro-
portions.

UPHOLDS FLAT EARTH THEORY
h""y biount Calls GlobuInr Hypoth-
'sis Greatest Myth of Science
and Challenges Astronomers.

Lady Blount, the well-known advo-
cate of the flat-earth theory. has thrown
down the gauntlet to the astronomers.
In a recent number of Home Chat she
characterizes the globular hypothesis
as the greatest myth of science" and
complains that orthodox astronomers do
not treat their opponents fairly and will
not meet their arguments.
One great stock argument on which
our opponents rely" says Lady Blount,
rs, OF course, that ships at sea disap-
pear from view. Remarkable experi-
ments have been made, ships having
been clearly seen with powerful tele-
scopes at distances of 30 or 40 miles.
From Holyhead to Kingstown harbor
is 90 miles, and halfway between the
lighthouse at the latter place has been
observed through telescope, whereas
the top should have been 600 feet below
the level of the horizon IL there were
anything in the globuar theory.
Really" continues the writer. "our
opponents have not a single conclusive
argument to offer in support Of theories
winch 1t is regarded as the height of
for anyone to call in
question"
