To Peel Tomstess.

Nearly every cook or recipe book
says, Pour boiling water over ripe
tomatoes, then skin them" But
this is a very vague direction. The
correct way to peel tomatoes is to
cover them with boiling water for
half minute, then lay them in cold
water until perfectly cold, and the
skin can be peeled of without diff
sulty, leaving the tomatoes un-
broken and as firm as they were be-
fore being scalded.

PUBLIC REIeHERs IN COURT.
The Fight Between BishopviIIe
Weighers Still Goes On.

Notwithstanding the opinion of the
Attorney General, which was given
during the primary in regard to the
old cotton weighers holding on until
after she general election and the new
ones get their commissions and quail
led, toe newly elected weighers got
Messrs. McLendou & Tatum to confer
With and get the County Board to
appoint them cotton weighers, which
the Board did and the new weighers
gave bond and demanded of the old
weiyhels to hand over the business as
their bonds had expired Tie old
weigbers refused to give up and as
the public scales belonged to Mr.. D.
L. McLaurin and he had turned them
over to the newly qualified welghers
they took charge Tuesday of last week
and weighed cotton the balance of the
week. In the meantime, the old
weighers employed Hon. T. G. Nc
Le"d to appear before Judge Dantzler
at Manning and get an injunction
restraining those from weighing.
Judge Dantzler granted temporary
Injunction urtil they could show
cause why the injunction should not
be permitted. Hon. T. G. Mcleod,
representing the old weighers and j.
B. McLauchlin representing the new
ones, took the matter up before Judge
Dantzler at Kingstree last Tuesday.
After hearing argument from both
sides, Judge Dantzler reserved his
opinion and the result is still un-
known n.-Vindicator.

Cause of Lock Jaw.

Lockjaw, or tetanrs, is caused by bacil-
lus germ which exists plentifully in street
dirt. 1t is inactive 80 long rs exposed to
the air, but when carried beneath the skin,
as in the wounds caused by percussion
caps or by rusty nails, and when the air is
excluded the germ is reused to activity
and produces the most virulent poison
known. These germs may be destroyed
aud all danger of lockjaw avoided by ap-
plying Chamberlain's Pain Balm freely as
soon as the injury is received. Pain Balm
is an antiseptlc and causes cuts, bruises
and like injuries to heal without matura-
ton and in one third the time required by
the usual treatment. 1t is for sale by

SOL j. RYTTENBERG,
Scarce Poultry.

Now that Thanksgiving is approach
ing, poultry merchants are already on
the lookout for stock. Two months
is nearly the time limit for getting
and filing Thanksgiving orders. Ac-
cording to tie National Provisioner, a
careful survey of the field fails to find
a plentiful supply of birds. Good
poultry will not be plentiful enough
to 90 around at reasonable figures.
Farmers have sold their grain at good
prices and have not bothered to fat
ten their turkeys, geese, ducks and
chickens. In fact, the farms show a
smaller supply of all poultry as COM
pared with two years ago. High
prices of meats have increased the
ever popular taste for poultry and
have kept the price and the demand
at the top notch This has served to
keep chickens and other birds from
coming to market. That largely ac-
counts for the present scarcity. The
demand has been so. brisk and the
prices so we'll maintained at the farm
that almost anything brought re-
latively good prices That may ac-
count largely for the negligence or
lack of feeding at the farm. The
fact exists that poultry of all kinds
is scarce and the price will be pretty
stiff for the Thanksgiving trade.
Prime birds will, in the language Of
the southern famrer, "go way yon-
der. I" This is likely to enhance the
already high price of veal, pork and
lamb roasts. Flushed turkeys and
geese will be very high, if the demand
is at all strong for them.

MORE ABOUT ma. KELLEY.
Rock Hill Minister Nay Give Some Infor-
nation of Value.

The Augusta Chronicle Of Wedues-
day says:
"More information has been secured
relative to the disappearance from
North Augusta of Rev. ". Aiken
Kelley, the pastor of Grace Methodist
church. Though the information is
old it ma yet be the means OF tracing
the missing minister.
'',It will be remembered that about
a week ago letter was received from
Rev. Geo. P. White of Ridgeway, S.
c., to the effect that the writer had
seen Mr.. Kelley on the train between
Columbia and Ridgeway, He had
not spoken to Mr.. Kelley, further than
nod, because tie gentleman was en-
gagged in conversation with another
until the writer. left the coach.
sDr. Wade Woodward, who
travels in South Carolina, was in
Rock Hill few day ago and he learn
ed who the getleman was with whom
Mr.. Kelly had been in conversation.
He was Mr.. Arial, Baptist minister
residing in Rock Hill. Dr.. Wood
ward called on Mr.. Arial and dis
covered that he was in conversation
with MIR. Kelley on the train and all
the way from Columbia to Rock Hill ;
that he knew Mr.. Kelley well and he
appeared to be all right in every way.
Mr.. Kelley claimed to be on the way
to Charlotte.
stWhen Mr.. Arial left the train Mr..
Kelly was in conversation with Char
lotte drummer by thesname of Pritch-
ard. The above is all that is known
at present. 'sThe Rock Hill minister
has been written to and asked for full
particulars. A reply is expected to-
day. 1t is hoped that it will give
clue as to the whereabouts of the mis-
sing man. He has been asked to learn
if possible, the address of the drum
mer, who will also be written to for
information concerning Mr.. Kelley's
actions on his arrival at Charlotte. "
When asked over the phone last
night, Presiding Elder j. S. Beasley
said that he thought this afternoon
was practically correct, that he had
talked to DR.. Woodward several days
ago. MI. Arial-who is a Methodist,
not Baptist, minister-had been
written to put Mr.. Beasley had not
had time to receive a reply. Conduc-
tor Pritchard is probably the man re-
ferred to, as he was in charge of the
train the day it is now known that
Mr.. Kelley passed through here going
towards Charlotte.
There is no doubt now that Mr..
Kelly went north, perhaps as far as
New York, but he has not been
traced any further than Charlotte
