Pointer Dog Adopts Pig.

Macon, Ca, March 9.-Braxton r..
Ezell, farmer of Hillsboro, tells the
story of remarkable pig and no less
remarkable canine. 1t seems that Mr..
Ezell had q sow with litter of pigs.
The SOW died, and so did each of her
pigs with the exception of one little pig
that found something else to do. This
little pig lived for very good reason
AT that time Mr.. Ezell also had pointer
with a lot of puppies; but all of these
puppies died, as did the old SOW and her
pigs, with the exception of that one
little pig. Now it seems that the little
piggie and the pointer became ac-
quainted, and in due time the pig found
his way to the breast as well as the
mother heart of the pointer. In short,
they adopted each other, and the pig
was raised on the milk of the pointer
Mr.. Ezell says that every time he went
hunting with his dog the little pig would
trail on behind, grunting at tho heels of
his foster mother Every time tho dog
raised his foot to point a covey of birds,
the pig would stop, sniff the air to con-
vey the impression that he was RESPONSE
BILE for the discovery of the birds, and
grunt several times.

Battleshlp South Carolina.

Charleston, March 10.-Congress-
man George S. Legare, in honor of
whom President Roosevelt named
one of the fine new battlesbips, to be
built, "South Carolina" returned to
Charleston last Tuesday morning
from Washington in good health and
fine spirits, as he should be after the
honor which had been accorded to
him. Congressman Legare spoke
interestingly of his recent work, and
he declared that the naming of the
battleship after this State was an
other evidence of President Roose.
velt's friendly feeling for the South.
He expressed his complete satisfac-
tion that the President desires to he
the same to all sections of the coun-
sfy, and he said that in the next few
years the President will make this
purpose clearer in his treatment and
consideration of Southern men and
measures. The Charleston Con-
gressman gets much sati sfaction, of
course, from his position in favor of
the naval bill which brought the
honor to his State.

rier we are offering that paper and The
Keowee Courier for $1.50 per year. The
Keowee Courier is recognized not only

days., gives the detailed news of South
Carolina as special feature, and carries
the full Associated Press dispatches
from all over the world. The combina-
tion of the two papers at $1.50 gives our
present readers, as well as new sub.
scribers, an opportunity to secure two of
the best papers in the State (three papers
a week) for 80 cents more than the regu-
lar price of either. Let us send you two of
the very best papers in South Carolina

In South Carolina town a few
days ago man was brought to trial
on charge of illegally selling whis-
key. The "evidence" was contained
in tightly corked pint bottle. "We
don't know what's in the bottle; it
may be cold tea," said the astute
foreman OF the jury "let us have
it," So the bottle was passed over,
and was taken into the jury room.
Twenty minutes later a verdict of
"not guilty" was rendered. But the
bottle was never returned to the
court. Presumably there was not
enough "eyidence" to go around,
says the Savannah News.

Twice year $4,000 men and boys
scattered from one end of England
to the other must be fitted out with
new clothes. These are the en-
ployees of the post Office department,
and it is no small task to provide
these garments, to say nothing of
making sure that each is well fitted.
The department uses 287 miles of
cloth, 3O3 miles of lining, besides
100000 or 100000 buttons and
the other things which go into the
making of garment. To simplify
this work the device of "fitting Sizes

the men are clothed with automatic

"BIue Corn Bread. !"

A citizen of Yorkville who spent
some time in Columbia recently was
enabled through The good offices of
an acquaintance to make an inspec-
tion of the Richland distillery, and
he has been telling the reporter of
some of the things he saw.
eWeii, now, can't begin to tell
you everything about this distillery
because there is too much of it; but
I'll tell you this. They make a ter
rible quantity of liquor and they
don't make near all they sell. They
have rectifiers' license, you know,
and under this license they have a
right to manipulate high wines and
cologne spirits 80 as to make one gal
lon of these into two or three gallons
of whiskey.
eyes, they really use corn meal
and rye meal to make whiskey and
they use tremendous quantities of it.
/ saw great tank that would bold
twenty or thirty thousand gallons
filed with mash, and while / was
there | came to place where man
was sitting at the end of long trough
through which slream of corn meal
was pouring.
"The man was catching the meal
up in his hand, testing the moisture,
and every now and then putting it to
his nose to catch the odor. / thought
this was the discharge trough of big
corn mill at first, and that the man
was merely keeping watch on the
quality of meal that was coming
through.
81 had heard that the immense
quantities of slops supposed to come
from distillery of this kind were
used TO fatten cattle, and | was
curious to see what the cattle looked
like. There were not but twelve or
fifteen head to be seen about the
place, and / asked the man at the
meal trough:
"'What do you people do with
your slops? | thought you fed it to
cattle, but ! do not see any slop or
cattle either
"Still working the meal in his
fingers the man looked up at me and
smiled knowingly.
81 repeated the question because
was mystified. After a pause he
asked me who l was. / told and he
went on:
"'Did you ever eat any corn bread
that had blush cast and slightly
bitter taste p
"'Yes, good many times,' l re.
piled.
"'Well, here is where the meal
comes from. After we have kept
our meal in these vats for seventy
hours and gotten out all the spirits
that can be extracted within the time
allowed by the Government, we dry
it out like this and sell it again. The
bitter taste is the flavor of what is
left of the hops we put in to make
the mash ferment. This meal is
sorter weak like by this time; but it
is just little cheaper, and there are
lots of people who never think of the
difference

One of the speakers gave very in
teresting talk on horticulture. He
thought that all kinds Of small fruits
could be grown very successfully on
the prairies of Minnesota but he said
that the prairie was not the place for
the apple tree to grow successfully.
In this part of the State, however,
the conditions are favorable not only
for growing small fruits but apples
also, and there is no good reason why
every farmer should not raise enough
good fruits, including apples for
family use. Farmers should never
buy fruit stock of agents but always
of we'll known and trustworthy nur-
erymen.
The talk on fruit raising and the in
sects that damage fruit was right to
the point and will, if followed, aid the
farmers very materially in fruit rails
ing.
There was one talk made which
proved of interest to all. It was on
raising the human race and the con-
ditions of society. The speaker must
have made some Of those present think
that they had degenerated from the
human to the brute, and some of them
are even below that standard of life.
He spoke of the real human affection
in families and iu6pinr from his hirh
standard there are many families tina,
are entirely destitute of such human
manifestations.
To sum up the institute work il
Milaca, its value cannot be estimated
in dollars nor computed by figures
and the farmers who failed to attend
lost a valuable opportunity.

Death of Kathryn Cotton,

At midnight Tuesday with the death
of the day and the birth of the NOR
row Kathryn N. Cotton, daughter of
Mrs. Mary H. Cotton, died at the
home Of her sister, Mrs. F. L. Small
in Princeton. During her recent i'll
ness the tender and watchful care OF
mother and sister who were con
stantly with her until the end gaveto
her all the earthly comfort that was
possible, and her death was sweet
rest after her long suffering.
The funeral was held at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. F. L. Small this morn
ing at 9:3O o'clock, Rev. John Russell
Henderson Of the Congregational
church OF Princeton officiating. The
body was taken to Anoka on this
mornings train and the interment was
in the cemetery at that place where
rest father and brother. Rev. Hen
derson accompanied the relatives to
Anoka and officiated at the grave.
Deceased possessed sweet and
pleasant nature and even when death
had laid its cruel hand heavily upon
her, sunny disposition shone out in
triumphant contrast until she passed
slowly and peacefully into rest.

his poem,> Reliance seem so ap-

Not to the strong the fight;

Not from my heart LIES crystal stream

: THE MILACA FARM INSTITUTE.

Hopeful Harry Gives Some OF His OBJ
servations at the Big Meeting.
The farmers institute at Milaca was
"a great success. To say that large
number attended would not express it..
It was a crowd so large it was neces-
,sary to have two large halls to accom-
modate the people, and the speakers
passed from one hall to the other in
order that the farmers might get the
benefit of the best methods of farming
as presented by the institute workers.
Prof Haverstock who was one of the
speakers addressed the farmers on
grains and grasses and the destruc-
ton Of weeds and the best methods of
farming. He is an interesting speaker
and presents his subject in positive
and forceful manner.
Mr.. Elliott, the Scotchman from
Canada, is more positive in his opin-
ions and more forceful in presenting
them as was evidenced in the manner
in which he presented the subject of
ooOOAA
story of breeding from the best both
in male and female, but more espec-
tally the male. In treatment and care
Mr.. Elliott said that kindness was
the only method that will prove sue
cessful. Mr.. Elliott's remarks must
have made those farmers who abuse
and 1nistreat their Stool- h1,cb ,,,;4l,
shame and hang their heads. In the
course of his remarks Mr.. Elliott gave
some very interesting illustrations.
In speaking Of the enterprise and
perseverance of the Scotchman he
said that when the north pole is dis
covered a scotchman will be found
sitting on the top Of the pole, as he is
always in advance.

WILD BULLETS WORK
Exciting Experience Caused by Wild
Bullet at Home of William Smith
Section 4, Princeton.
Unknown Parties Fire at Dog and
Bullet Enters House, Just
Missing Mrs. Smith.

William Smith who lives on SeCtlOn
/. 4 in the town of Princeton was in town
last Saturday relating a lively expert
ence himself and wife had on Wednes-
day night of last week about the time
they were ready to retire. Mr.. Smith
says that he had gone to bed and a
few minutes after he did SO he heard
some one out on the road cry "Whoa:"
and Immediately afterwards there was
the report of revolver. A bullet
came piercing it's way through the wall
of the house and passing Immediately
over the bed a few inches from Mr..
Smith it whizzed by his wife who was
sitting in chair at the stove taking
off her shoes. The bullet hit the cook
stove and glanced into the pantry
where it demolished a few dishes and
disappeared in such a manner that
Mr.. Smith has been unable to find it.
The dog belonging to Mr.. Smith was
lying on the bank of earth beside the
house about fifty feet from the road
and it is thought that the parties who
did the shooting intended to kill the
dog, but the bullet hit one of the dogs
feet and did not otherwise injure him.
AS soon as the bullet entered the
house Mrs. Smith rushed to the door
and was followed by her husband who
jumped out of bed and grabbing his
Winchester went to see what the
trouble was. AS he stepped out of
see a two-seated rig in the road and
there appeared to be three occupants
in the rig. It was half past nine
O'Clock and was quite dark from the
fog, though there was moon. AS
Mr.. Smith stepped out in front of the
house the occupants of the rig turned
and with the whip to the horses headed
for Princeton at hot gait. Mr..
Smith did not stop but followed and
cried to them to halt. But they only
went the faster, and he says that he
idea that there was something behind
them that could travel much faster
than they could. Mr.. Smith went as
far as the Ellenbaum corner and gave
up the chase. He met two parties
comingssfrom Princeton who said that
they had passed rig with several oc-
cupants but that the team was going
at such rapid gait that none of the
occupants could be seen close enough
to describe them. Mr.. Smith says
that if he had had a horse he would
have made it extremely interesting for
the parties who did the shooting. It
is not known what the motive for the
shooting was. Mr.. Smith says that
parties from town happen out that way
quite frequently and reports of shoot
ing are often heard, the shooting per-
haps being the result of alcoholic en-
thusiasm.
The shooting whatever the motive
came nearly proving tragedy and
Mr.. Smith is we'll worked up over the
affair.

The FindeII Bridge.

Senator 81. F. Barker has intro
duced bill asking for an appropria-
ton of $4,000 to help rebuild the
"Findell" bridge in Spring Vale.
Eric Becklin, Andrew Findell and
Enock Olson are named as the super
visors to have charge of the construc-
ton OF the bridge. 1t is to be hoped
that Senator Barker will succeed in
getting the bill through as the bridge
is needed and it's construction would
be almost too much of an expense for
the town of Spring Vale to stand.
