Milk Toast.

The very best way to make milk
toast is by the time-honored recipe
handed down from our grandmothers.
They Drowned and buttered the toast
setting it aside to keep hot while they
heated and stirred. smoothly together
over the fire one tablespoonful each OF
-four and butter and one-quarter tea
spoonful of salt to each cup of milk.
The hot milk was added and all cooked
to a smooth, slightly thickened cream.
Then the slices of toast were bathed
in the liquid long enough to soften
them, before the whole was dished and
sent in to the table. This, 1t may De
repeated, is the best way, but, II the
milk is rather limited, an allowable
variation is to add pinch OF salt 10
each slice Of toast, pour boiling water
quickly over, and then replace 1t Win
the hot, thickeped saik. on the platter
on which it is to be served.

Boy Fatally Shot.

Spartanburg, Special.-Friday after.
noon near Cramling, two negro boys,
were playing with a loaded pistol.
The result was that John Kirtendall,
aged II years, was shot and perhaps
fatally wounded by neighboring boy.
II years old, whose name was not as.
certained. The weapon was the prop
erty of Kirtendall, and he and the lit
tie negro boy were fooling with it at
the home Of the former. BY some
means the pistol was discharged and
a bullet entered Kirtendalrs stomach,
and he is in a serious condition. DR..
Black, of the city, attended the negro,
and stated this afternoon that his pa

Cotton Growers Meet.

Picxens. Special.-Pickens county
cotton growers met here on Monday
and elected Messrs. J. T. Odcll and
J. w. Freeman as delegates to the
State meeting. The following reso-
!utions were adopted:
Resolved, That it is The opinion Of
The PickenS County Cotton Growers
convention.
First, That the NEST practical way
TO markst our cotton is 10 avoid the
disastrous rush upon the market dur
ing harvest times bv delivering the
cotton direct from the gins 10 the
warehouses where those who need TO
do so may have such advances made
at low rates of interest as their imme-
diate necessities may require.
Second That this cotton be sold
by our agent in large blocks directly
to manufacturers, thus avoiding the
demoratizing influences and heavy loss
TO both producers and manufacturers
of cotton by the large army Of non
producers called cotton handlers and
operators who are as unnecessary in
our business under the ware house
plan as a parasite is upon the back
of a living animal.
Third. That our delegates to the
State meeting be instructed to take
up this important matter Of warehouse
building at once with TIE State meet
ing and devise a system By which
South Carolina can unite with all tho
other cotton growing States in concert
of action with the one object Of mar
Eetirg cur cotton to the best advan'
tage.

Clinton, Specialize Memorial
Dining Hall Of Thornwell Orphanage
was destroyed by fire Thursday night.
The fire was discovered about 11.30
o'clock and had then gained such
headway as to make it impossible TO
save the building. The best that could
be done WAS to prevent the flames
spreading to the !dormitories on each
side, in which the inmates were asleep
when the fire began. There were no
sleeping apartments in the memorial
hall but it was fitted up in excellent
style and the financial loss is heavy.
The building contained dining room,
store rooms and kitchen, the last being
furnished with modern ranges and ap-
pliances. The destruction of the build
ing leaves the orphans with nothing
to eat and no place to cook or eat II
there were provisions on hand. Despite
the late hour, however, citizens OF

promptly to put these things in shape

The State for contributions ct oace.
The burned building was erected by
popular subscription, chiefly from
Presbyterians in 1888, and was ="
handsome stone structure, about 3D.
x6O feet, costing about $4,000. There
is probably some insurance but this
could not be definitely learned to-
night. The building was situated be-
tween two others with narrow streets
between, and it was only by hard
work that these adjacent structures
were saved. On account Of the
drouth it was difficult to secure water.
Clinton having no water works system
and many wells having gone dry.
1t Is supposed that the fire started
from one Of the ovens.

CANNOT REJECT
AN INDICTMENT
Reasons That Impel Grand
Jury to Action Are Not
to Be Reviewed in Court
KENNEDY LOSES BATTLE
States Highest Tribunal
Establishes a Precedent
for Criminal Procedure
KENNEDY LOSES BATTLE

The Supreme Court established the
precedent yesterday that no tribunal
can go back on an indictment by
grand jury. The question arose in the
case of William Kennedy, who Is
charged with completely in the mur-
der Of Policeman Robinson on Va
lencia street about two years ago. In
accordance with the decision rendered
the mulatto must once more go to
trial.
Kennedy was convicted Of murder
In the Superior Court on the testimony
OF an accomplice. On appeal the SUI
preme Court declared that there was
insufficient evidence to warrant con-
viction, and a new trial was ordered.
When the case came up for hearing
the Judge of the Superior Court dis
missed the proceeding and discharged
the prisoner, who was Immediately
rearrested. Kennedy was subsequent
ly released on a writ Of habeas cor
pus. District Attorney Byington went
before the Grand Jury and secured the
reindictment Of Kennedy on exactly
the same evidence InaL the OuPE eAho
Court had declared insufficient to con-
vict.
When the prisoner was brought to
court again he was discharged and re-
arrested. In all he was discharged
nine times and as often taken in Gus
tody as he left the courtroom. His at
torneys appealed to the Supreme Court
to set aside the Indictment The court
had already placed itself on record as
deeming the evidence insufficient, but
the question to be decided was the
right Of a tribunal to consider tesu-
mony given before the Grand Jury
with a view to reversing the action OF
that body.
1t is held that this cannot be done
and Kennedy must answer to the
charge of murder once again. Unless
new evidence can be produced he VIII
never go to San Quentin. for the
States highest tribunal holds him
technically guiltless on the facts shown
thus far.

COOL WEATHER

WEST WIND is STRONG
FOrecaster Sets Forth How
He May Go Far Astray in
Looking Into the Future

The hot spell has gone into history
and cool weather has taken its place.
Yesterday the temperature was down
to Sc degrees and the wind was high.
1t is not by any means certain that
these conditions will continue, how
the Tropic OF Cancer may make us
search once more for our straw hats
and summer garments. But San Fran
cisco has its fog again, and the evil
dence of this may be secured readily
from the people of the Sunset district
and Carville. McAdie's records show
that California has had plenty Of hot
Septembers during the last ffty-five
years, and he Is disinclined to prom
ise comfortable conditions for the rest
OF the month. He is still puzzling
over the question of how his, data told
him to predict cool weather for last
Wednesday, which was the hottest
daE San Francisco ever saw. Speak
ing Of his notable error, he said: =
1T was simply because l did not
know enough. Certain conditions bring
about certain effects, but we do not
always know all of the conditions.
We have no Information about affairs
5000 feet above us, and yet change
up there often upsets all our calcula-
tions. Forecasting is not. unfortu-
nately, an exact science. and our pre-
dictions cannot be given with mathe-
matical accuracy. We hope some day
to have sufficient data to be able to
tell the weather for a whole season
In advance. Meanwhile we have to
do the best We can with what we
have"
San Francisco Is considered by
Willis Moore, chief Of the United
States Weather Bureau, to be the most
difficult forecasting station in the
country. McAdie averages better than
any other forecaster in the service,
according to the official records. For
the last two years his predictions have
been absolutely correct a tribe moro
than nine times out of ten. That he
has his work at heart Is evidenced by
the fact that he paid for weather
cablegrame from Manila last week
when his department would not in
cur the expense.
