Demands That Executive Put a Stop

''Rascality."

Senator TfHman has taken UP the

ing which electrified thousands of Caro-
linians in his stump speeches years ago.

nounced his determination to stand by
the institution which he established In
the State when. he first became COVER
nor.
All doubts as to Senator Tllman's
position in the matter were dispelied
Saturday when he made great speech
at Marion upholding the dispensary.
This is the first time Senator Tillman
has taken any active part in the ag1-
tation, and on this occasion he turned
himself loose upon the opponents OF
the dispensary with something Of his
ancient fire and sarcasm.
Ministers in Arena.
The ministers Of South Carolina have
been most active against the dispen-
sary, many of them throwing or their
coats and working upon the streets
on election day. Senator Tillman did
not hesitate TO take a fling at these
ministers. Some of them, he dramatf-
cally exclaimed, were "hypocrftes en-
folded In the cloak OF religion and
morality"
Senator Tiilman charged the State
board of control with fragrant misman-
agement and outrageous violation OF the
law. He did not hesitate to put the
matter squarely up to Governor Hey
ward.
Enemies Are Satisfied.
Governor Hayward. he declared, ffs
up against a proposition which he must
meet like a man. 1t is not q question
as TO whether he has the power to put
a stop to this rascality; it is a question
as to whether he has the nerve TO
do It"
Senator TiIlman's enemies are con-
graduating themselves upon this lat

fight against the dispensary VIII be
one Of the most bitter political strug-
giles ever witnessed IN South Caro-

Why Milk Gets Sour.

Many dairy-men throughout the State
have had much difficulty this season to
keep their milk from souring. There
have been many opinions as to the
cause, some attributing it to thunder
storms. 1t is believed by many that
lightning will sour milk. To settle the
controversy the matter has been laid be-
fore the United States Department of
Agriculture. In reply to letter on
the subject, ID. +. Salmon, chief of the
Bureau of Animal Industry, writes
''The thought conveyed in your question,
as to whether thunder and lightning
will cause milk to sour, is an error
very popularity believed all over the
country. 1t comes about from an i'm
proper observation of cause and effect
The thunder and lightning themselves
have nothing to do with the souring of
milk, but usually when the atmospheric
condition is right to produce thunder
and lightning, it is also right for the
quicker souring of milk. Under these
conditions the air is usually very moist
and. more frequently than otherwise,
very hot. These two conditions favor
ment of bacteri in the milk goes on at a
very rapid rate under such conditions.
The only thing that causes the souring
of milk is the growth of bacteria in it.
The milk sugar is broken down, form
ing Tactic acid and some other products
which have no effect on the milk, and
the muggy weather usually attending a
thunder storm causes the development
to proceed much faster than under
other conditions.

A Fragment Of BuCkingham's
Marble Steps.
BY REV. WILLIAM HENRY BANCROFT.

Upon my desk piece of marble lies
Eire-chiseled under last October's Skies
When Coniiagration raised his smoking hand.
His flaming form by western breezes famed.
Rude was the task ut which he wildly wrought.
And bringing all cherished house to naught.
As through the air he swung his blazing arm
That day. intent ON only working harm.
Naught but fragment from the steps that led
Within that house of God where many fed.
From year to year. upon the Gospels grace.
As round them fell the glory of face
That doth the sun outshinei And yet il brings
host of thoughts to me on glistening wings.
To stir my heart and move my pen along
The page. in praise of Buckingham in song.
What varied feet those steps upmounted oft
Going within to raise the soul aloft!-
Grayheaded sires and matrons of the past.
And children with n gait that hurried fast
With nimbler use of limbs. like birds of light
Outspeeding parent birds that taught them flight.
And ministers of God with lips of gold.
Who there went up the Scriptures to unfold.
Unknown to him who writes many feet
That pressed with solemn tread the street.
And climbed those steps that now in ashes are:
For lived they in a time from him afar:
But though they've gone from scenes of earth
away.
Their walk hath wakened echoes strong for aye:
This piece of fire-Swept stone is full of sound
That fills the corners of my study round.
And other living feet are treading still
The same highway. the years to fill
With echoes that shall sound for aye. as those
That now are gone. and er whose dust there blows
The wind of summer bright and winter drear
These living feet of young and old appear
Within temporal Zion's doors. and wait
The opening of their Canaan's wider gate
These feet those marble steps oft upward went.
Within the walls behind the Sabbath spent
Until each notified slab of stone fedown
Beneath the blows of Fire. beneath his frown
This fragment that before is here
Doth seem to be the grief. in one great tear.
OF those who watched the flames of autumn's day
Sweep dear old Buckingham in ruin away.
