Should Observe this Law.

1t may not be generally known, yet it
is fact, that there is State law against
the mntilating of trees growing near the
public highway. It is to be found in the
Code, Section 459 and reads as follows:
"Whosever shall willfully or wantonly
cut down or kill any tree growing within
ten feet of any road which may be laid
out, altered or amended, by the authority
of the County Supervisor of any county,
which shall, by direction of the highway
surveyor in charge of such road, have
been left standing as convenient for
shade to the road, for each tree SO cut
down or killed shall be fined twenty five
dollars at any court of competent juris-
diction."
If this law were enforced we would
soon have beautiful highways in the
State; and besides the shade would make
travelling on the highways more pleasant
in summer, and the trees would protect
the roads from washing in winter. 1t
seems a great pity that this law is not
enforced. d.-Bamberg Herald.

Two Thsoriss Finally Settled.

.
In the. question and answer depart
nent of the Scientific American we fiud
the following:
Question:: Ql a cask of water is placed
on q pair of scales. 1t weighs 80 pounds.
II fish weighing 11pounds (salmon) is
placed in the water contained in the
cask, will it raise the weight of the cask
or notp 1t is argued by some apparently
smart men. but want to lay down your
word to them as proof. j contend that
the cask tlien weighs 65 pounds.
~ A person weighs 140 pounds before
dinner. Does he weigh any more after
hearty meal, say of i poundsp 1t is
generally contended here that he does
not. / say he does. Who is righta
Answer: ~ If a cask full to the brim
with water has live fish put into it, as
much water as the fish dsplaces will
overflow. Is a fish weighs the same as
the water it displaces when floating in
water, it follows that the cask full of
water and fish weigh the same after the
fish has been put into the water that the
cask and water weighed before the fish
was put into the water, that is, so
pounds. Ii the cask WAS not full OF
water when the fish was put into it, and
If no water overfowed when the fish was
put into the cask, the weight of fish,
water and cask will be 65 pounds in the
case you specify. The whole turns upon
wi ether the fish is alive and whether the
cask is completely filed with water.
(2) If a person is weighed after meal,
he will weigh as much more than he did
before the meal as the weight of the food
he has eaten. Common sense teaches
this. If person puts II pounds of food
into his pocket and gets upon scales he
will weigh IL pounds more than without
the food in his pocket. Write stomach
in place of pocket and you will have the
same fact. Or put nails in place of the
word food. 1t will be equally true.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-

chan tube. When this tube gets in famed

hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

any case of deafness (causcd by catarrh)

The Worst to Come, Says Bryan.

William Jennings Bryan told q
story while in this city, says the
Brooklyn Daily Eagle, that would
seem to indicate the Nebraskan is
somewhat worried at the appropria.
tion by President Roosevelt of some
of the leading doctrines of the Dem
ocratio party. Mr.. Bryan good
naturedly suggested that the Repub-
lican party might leave to the Dem
ocrats such issues as governmental
ownership, Federal regulation of the
railroads and radical tariff revision.
"Mr. Roosevelt's recent advanced
position in these Matters" said The
Nebraska man, "reminds me of q
story of an old colored woman re-
garding her experience with an up
to-date physician. She had been
attended by colored doctor without
getting relief from her ailment and
decided to consult white physician.
She was somewhat mystified at the
scientific movements of the latter.
Later she was questioned by friend
regarding the methods of the new
doctor.
"Did he take your temperature p
she was asked.

maIor J. A. Ambler Recalls "cold Saturday.

Pickens, February IL Major James
FL. Amber, a venerable and honored
citizen of Pickens, was here yesterday.
A number of young men crowded around
him and were eager to know if tho "cold
Saturday" was anything to compare with
the disagreeable spell that has been on
the past few days. Major Amber having
been born in 1915 was about sixteen years
of age when the memorable "cold Satur-
day" came, which was in February, 1892.
He has remarkable memory and his
recollection of the "cold Saturday" is
vivid and interesting.
When his youthful interrogators chal-
lenged the comparison Major Amber
smiled sarcastically and said: "Young
men, if l were to tell you the facts about
that cold time You would think was
disgracing these gray hairs of mine--in
fact prodigious liar. 1t was coldest
very early in the day--I shall never for

go with an uncle about half mile into

we feared were in danger. We took the
precaution to tie handkerchiefs about
our faces and when we returned they
were frozen to our faces and there was
ice In our eyebrows. The chickens froze
on the r0ost and the ground was covered
with dead chickens. Every kind of
game froze in great quantities. The
trees in the forest tafroze and burst with
rattle akin to musketry" The young
men were convinced and departed feeling
that they were having delightful weather
compared to the "cold Saturday"

he did not get married.
Because, with me- he said, mar

In reply to the challenge Corbett tele-

"My answer to Sullivan's challege is as
follows:
81 wish he had health and youth to be
able to fight me or anybody else. That's
all the bad luck wish the poor old fell

This is Sullivan's final card. His lee

hoped and the old champion is facing the
beginning of the end.
Only few days ago he left st. Louis
for short period and advertised lec-

on. He was forced to borrow 1926 to get
back to st. Louis. This amount was of

Another notable feature of Smith
onia one finds in Col. Smiths meth
ods. Some seem wasteful of time
and labor. One sometimes sees forty
women and children failing seed
from amber cane, when two men and
a machine could do the work Just as
well and in much less time. His
wheat is cut with the old-fashioned
scythe and cradle instead of with the
modern reaper. The reason is that
no machine has been invented that
can successfully pick cotton, 80 that
an abundance of negro laborers must
be kept on hand to pick the crop
Col. Smith employs old-fashioned
methods to keep his laborers at hand
for picking time. In the interim
he must keep them busy.
He grows wheat and corn, though
cotton is the main crop. Smithonia,
by liberal fertilization and by close
personal attention, has been made
more productive by far than the
average cotton farm in Georgia. Two
bales an acre are produced on some
Elk City mining news. (Elk City, Idaho) 1903-1913, 1905-11-25
INVENTION AND INDUSTRY.

A needle machine can turn out $780,

About 10000 tons of butter are

America makes more barrels than
any other country. The annual produc-

An ironmaster in South Wales
claims to have invented a process by
which the cost OF making steel can
be reduced 20 per cent.
California produced 29, ,4S4 barrels
of petroleum last year-a fourth of
the total of the United States. Ohio
