That Batesbnrg is forcing. both
steadily and rapidly ahead, is Shown
by the fact, that the receipts of
freight at the Batesburg railroad
'tfice for June, 1905, was more than
$1,000 over the receipts of June 1904.
AS this was before the rush to market
II 10 cent cotton, it shows the normal
increase Of business here to be ex-
tremely gratifying. The receipts for
July 1905, it is estimated, will be in
excess of July 1904 by largely over
$1,000. During the past week, there
were loaded and unloaded here, So
cars.
For Friday last, one day, the re-
ceipts for freight &c were over 500 90.
These figures are not guessed al
but actual and they show conclusive
ly the advancement Of Batesburg.

Nose Lore.

The classic Greek nose has been re-
garded as the ideal shape, though there
are Roman, Caucasian, MOngolian and
Ethiopian noses. each Indicating Il pc
culiar type OF mental trait. Generally
speaking. thick and hat noses denote
material instincts, and turned up noses
vanity. Wide nostrils are sign OF
strength, while small nostrils indicate
weakness. NapOleon's knowledge Of
human nature made him select gener
ais with large noses. for this betok ems

shows Il firm. strong will. Possibly no
nose speaks louder for itself than the
alcoholic nose, and ii In as much to be
feared as the pointed nose and chin,

cceeTEEEeeEE TON RUSHING RUSHING TO 70 MARKET MARKET A?
l0 GENTS

That the farmers throughout this
section Of South Carolina bare been
waiting for the market to reach about
the prices prevailing at this time last
year seems to be apparent from tine
way in which they are hauling in cot
ton bales and selling them at 10 cents
per ID. and over.
On the 10th OF July, 1904, the nun
Der of cotton bales that came int
Batesburg, was two; on July 10th 1905
the number was 13l. The price paid
here on July 10th, 1904. was 10 ole
cents per ID. and the price paid on Ju
ly 10th, 1905. was 10 5-16 cents.
The difference between ten cent
cotton this July and ten cent cotton
last July, is that this year, thousands
OF bales were in the hands of the
farmers on July 1st, and, last year
they were all in the hands of the
speculaters The difference between
the moral worth Of the farmer and
the tricky unreliability of the specu-
lator, pretty we'll measures the
amount Of greater good that comes
from the profits going to the farmer
insteld of to the speculator.
The rush OF cotton for sale at over
lOcents, isgeneral throughout this sec
tion Of South Carolina and, thousands
upon thousands of bales, since the price
touched 10 cents, have been delivered
to the different Railroad stations and
sold. The activity i'm cotton here, al
this time Of the year, which is gener-
ally the season Of inactivity, is unpre-
cendented, as shown by the number
OF bales, t2) delivered on the 10th of
July 1904. Judging from the cotton
being now rushed to market, if the
movement be general throughout the
whole South, the amount of outstand-
ing cotton in the hands of the farmers
will, after the present rush, be neces-
sarily small. What effect this unusual
rush to market, will have upon prices,
we would like to beable to give to our
readers and wewouldn't mind know
ing 1T ourselves.

AN ICE PLANT AND A COLD ST0R-
AGE WAREHOUSE.

Batesburg and its neighborlng, out
lying towns use about $4,000 pounds
OF ice week. Here is an excellent
portunity for profitable investment
of capital.
An ice factory, with cold storage
warehouse combined. for packing
eggs, spring chickens, &c, for use in
winter and early spring, weuld open
up business for the whole year
round-and business, in both it
branches, In which thousands upon
thousands of dollars have been already
made in many places.
To freeze $4,000 lbs. of ice weekly,
or 25 tons would take 6.00O gal.
Ions Of water week, or 1000 gal
Ions day, less than one gallon q
minute, there being 144O minutes in
each twenty four hours. More than
abundant water can be gotten, fol
this purpose, anywhere by an ArteSiar
we'll, not deeper than 35 feet.
Now, before the Summerland Hote
and the new Batesburg Hotel are
built, is the time to secure the ad
vantages that offer, for, it is only a
matter of time. and that short
time, before the business sense OF
some one will recognize the opportu.
mites, now begging for taker, and
start in to make the money.

Much cdi~,h said a teyidermist,
"has to be taken In selecting the long.
fine pins used In fastening the speci-
mems in insect collections. For cheap
collections of butterflies and bugs we
use the ordinary brass pins mostly, but
every one OF these must be carefully
examined before impaling the insect
to see that it is well timed. for were
the tin coating imperfect or the slight
est flaw evident IL would be I'm nine
cases out OF ten liable to oXidiZe I'm

but they are almost as bad, for the
glazed coating soon cracks, leaving
the metal exposed, and consequently

sets in. EvrN tn" more "xJ.nsiv" kind
