Interesting Ceremonies.

Newberry, Special-With appro-
pirate and dignified ceremonies New
berry college and the citizens Of New
berry Monday night united in the ded-
ication of Holland Hall. the new COL
lege annex which has lately been COM
pleted. The celebration was OF an In
teresting character and a number or
gentlemen distinguished in the service
Of church and state lent their pres
ence to an occasion which might well
be termed memorable in the affairs OF
Newberry college. The governor and
the chief justice-the heads respective
ly OF the executive and judicial de-
partments of the state government
were on the stage, and ministers and
college presidents who have won dis
tinction In their spheres OF labor all
contributed to the dignity and impress
siveness Of the celebration. From the
city had gathered friends OF Newberry
college until they filed the capacious
auditorium which is one OF the most
excellent features Of Holland hall. 1t
was an event of unusual interest TO
these friends of education and OF the
Lutheran college. 1t marked a new
epoch In the usefulness Of the insti-
tuition which has met and overcome
many and serious obstacles.
In the city cemetery stands smart
which marks the resting place OF the
man. for whom the hall was named
George w. Holland, who was president
of Newberry College from 1878 to 1898.
Now his name is to be perpetuated in
the structure which Is to be devoted to
the inculcation of Christie. education.
It is a worthy memorial of a good and
useful man. 1t Is likewise a worthy
testimonial to the devotion OF the
Lutherans of South Carolina who have
contributed to Building the peer OF
any structure in the state and costing
$4,000. With DR.. ]. A. B. Scherer at
the head of the rejuvenated institution.
the friends of Newberry College may
look to the future with confidence.
And the outpouring of people at night
demonstrated that these friends are
legion.

Some Wifely Hints.

"A delightful variety of green house
furnishing pieces is shown in the shops
at present. These are valuable for
their restful qualities, during warm
weather especially, and indicate the
trend of popular taste toward what is
probably the most satisfactory of all
color schemes.
That hot milk added to potatoes
when MASKING them will keep them
from being soggy or heavy.
That celery should lie at least an
hour in cold water or upon ice before
being served in order to be firm and
crisp, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
That cheese may be kept moist by
wrapping in cloth wrung out Of vine
gar and hung up in paper bag In
cool place.
That a pinch of salt thrown into the
coffee pot will improve the aroma
CT the coffee.
That a piece of flannel dampened in
camphor is nice with which to polish
millors.
That the knife should be held per-

Boy Fatally Shot.

Spartanburg, Special-Friday after
noon near Granting, 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 a 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 Kirtendall's stomach,
and he is in a serious condition. Dr..
Black, of the city, attended the negro,
and stated this afternoon that his pa
tents condition was extremely criti
cal.

Baking Powder and Soda.

We are told not to combine baking
powder and soda in the same food
In fact the combination often proves
most satisfactory.
Baking powder biscuits are as much
improved by wetting them with but
termilk sweetened by ssda as can be
imagined.
One great mistake made by very
many is in using too much soda. Very
little is needed. A very scant even
teaspoonful will sweeten pint Of
very sour milk or buttermilk. Some
one says pertinently, BE sure you have
not enough soda and you will have it
just right"
A good rule for baking powder bis
cults is q quart Of -four sifted well-if
sifted two or three times it Is better.
Into the -four incorporate two heaping
teaspoonfuls Of baking powder, n tea
spoon even full Of salt, very scanf
teaspoon of soda, not even full. Mix
into the -four, ETC., a very large table
spoonful of lard, and wet up with two
cupfuls Of sour milk or buttermilk. II
the measuring has been correct the
milk will make the dough very soft
so soft it will seem impossible to
handle it. BY dredging the bread
board we'll with -four and sprinkling
a little on top Of the paste it can be
rolled out into q sheet not more than
half an inch in thickness, cut with
small cutter, put in pans so they do not
touch and bake in very hot oven. Five
minutes will bake them. II liked
larger and thicker, more time must be
allowed, but oven must be hot for
good biscuits.
Doughnuts are much better made
with sour milk or cream and soda with
baking powder. Sour cream cake-in
fact nearly everything in which these
things are used where tenderness
rather than aakiness is desired will be
found improved by their combination.

ORPHANAGE SUFFERS BY FIRE
Inmates Left With Nothing to Eat and
No Means of Cooking if Provisions
Were on Hand.

Were on Hand.
Clinton. Special-The Memorial
Dining Hall of Thornwell Orphanage
was destroyed by fire Thursday night.
The fire was discovered about 11.S0
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
Clinton are preparing to feed the chill
dren tomorrow. But help must come
promptly to put these things in shape
again, and Dr. Jacobs, the superin-
tendent, appeals to the people through
The State for contributions at oace.
The burned building was erected by
popular subscription, chiefly from
Presbyterians in 1888. and was
handsome stone structure, about So
x60 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.

RAISING souAss FOR MARKET
Demand Has Given Rise to Quite an
Imp ortant Industry.

Outdoors: Up TO n very few years ago
pigeon raising WAS considered n boys
sport only. but their interesting ways. the
fascination OF breeding them for the show
pen and the Demand for squads by hotels
and restaurants prompted n few men to
take them up as a recreation or a bust
ness. and the success of these few caused
others to join them until now 1t has be
come quite Il large industry. We will
first take NJ the breeding of pigeons for
SQUAD selling.
There Is only one variety of pigeon
used for this purpose-the comlnoIi varic-
ty. They are worth nothing for the show
pen, but are very prolific. each pair rear
ing eight or nine pairs of squads n year.
1T takes squads but one month to ma
turc, that is. they are full grown and
ready for market one month from hatch
ing. The old birds have made their Sec
ong nest and laid their eggs before the
last young ones are grown. 1t takes the
eggs eighteen days to hatch, so that about
every month and "A half there is a pair OF
squads ready for market from each pair.
The principal food for pigeons Is wheat.
though "a little cracked corn with his is
good for them.
Cleanliness and system mean success
with squads. and though much is said to
the contrary they require considerable
care In order to get the very best results.
They do we'll in nearly any climate,
though a place where the winters are
short and not severe is the best. The
southern states and California are the
best suited for this industry and they
contain many farms which make "A spe-
ciaity of squad raising. one farm in Cal
ifornia has nearly 300. 900 old birds.

Breaking Implements and Farm


The number OF Sreakages of iuple-

all proportion to what 1t ought to be.
1t would probably be quite correct 10
say n a more than three fourths of
tnese ~breakages are the outcome Of
Sareiessness or curse there are some
instances In which it could not be pos
stble to avoid breaking implements, but
by a proper care it can generally be
avoided.
These bre;.kings are the outcome of
the lack of application of the mind TO
the work that Is now being done. The
lndlvl'tu3l allows himself to work in "a
sort OF a mechanical way. and in con-
sequence nf this the necessary care is
rot observed that would END to pre-
vent such results. In other words.
work Is too often done through the
mere force of physical exertion. Ii
would not be incorrect to say that mat
ter works while the mind is asleep. or
while 1t is wandering away in other
