A VISIT TO THE
VOLCANO OF SAVAII


The following article appeared I'm the
Samoauische Zoitung, published at
Apia. Samoa, April 2S. 1t is a dcscrp-
ton oC trip to the volcano of Savaii:
ON Sunday, the 22nd April we left
FaPamalo at o'clock i'm the morning
and arrived from where the lava COM
mcncos at S; walking over the lava
field to get to where the lava is run
ming into the sea. On the way we
passed over the most of Saleaula, as it
lies buried, and then on to Mr.. Bart
loy's, which can only be identified by a
small portion of the walls of the house
that can be seen through the lava.
Walking ON a little further, we came
TO where once stood the town of Toa-
paipai now a lava field. From here we
made towards Malaeola which once
was. Continuing for about 80 minutes
inland, We then travelled towards the
coast to where the lava runs into the
sea. arriving at 10 a. m. From the
start of the journey till we came near
the coast was comparatively cool walk
ing, till we got close to Asuisui. Here
it was very hot, but the day was fav-
Orable, rs the wind was off the sea.
About 40 yards inland from the iron
bound coast, and where the lava is run
ming into the sea, is a kind Of hill
thrown UP from the sea, composed of
sand and stones, and in the sea itself
the water is boiling, and we noticed
the lava actually floating on top of the
water like so much timber. On the
inland side Of the hill there is an arch
ed cave IL feet wide, and 20 feet high
1t is about 20 yards long. Through
this cave the liquid lava runs at the
rate of one yard per second, and we
could not see where it came from nor
where it flowed to. This is the feeder,
and the only place where 1 could see
the lava running on top. 1t was only a
foot lower than where l was standing
1t would have been impossible to get
so close, only that the wind was blow
ing the smoke, steam and heat inland.
AS it was we were able to stand at a
distance of 6 feet from the running
lava. 1t was really a fine sight; so
bright and so quickly flowing we could
follow it's course to the sea for about
ten yards but from where it came it
was impossible to see. There are in all
three hills thrown up on the IRON
bound coast, and in three places the
lava is running out. Near Malo the lava
is dead. We continued our walk tc-
wards Malo, the lava field in some
places being very hot, and the surface
showing much more sulphurous matter
than further inland. At noon we az
rived at a place near Malo where there
has been boat passage formed by the
lava now dead We had a rest and took
boat from the small bay speak of, and
started for Matautu arriving there at
: in the evening.
1 still think that as long as the lava
has an outlet into the sea, at a velo-
city of over two miles an hour Gas far
as l can see-not being a prophet, and
having watched it constantly, there is
no immediate danger of a catastrophe;
but should the lava cease flowing and
the crater continue active there is no
telling what may occur.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

Mr. c. B. Wainwright of Lemon City,

obtained from the use of Chamberlain's

and cholera mOrbus by taking it in
water as hot as can be drank. That
when taken in this way the effect is

A Visitors Opinion OF Clemson.

The following was taken from the
State of September 5th:
Being lover of agriculture and stock,
and something of farmer and stock
raiser in North Carolina, and being a lit
tie curious to see and know how such
things were done in our sister State, by
invitation OF Prof. G. e. Newman made
a short visit to Clemson College, where
it was my pleasure to meet those congo
NAL and courteous gentlemen, DR.. Nell,
Profs. Newman, Deichise, Burgess and
DR.. Power, veterinarian, and last but
not least, that clever gentleman, j. p.
Lewis, farm manager. Mr.. Lewis took
me over the farm and showed me the
first field of corn that had seen in South
Carolina in radius of two months travel.
Have seen many brag fields, but as yet
have not seen anything to compare with
the Clemson fields, Notwithstanding the
great drawbacks, caused by the heavy
rainfall during the period of cultivation.
Had conditions allowed him to cult.
vato this field as it should have been,
there is no telling the yield it would have
made. was very much impressed with
MT. Lewis idea of running the rows, to
let in the sun to the plants, especially on
rich lands, which produce heavy growth
of stalk, three feet by twelve inches and
six feet by twelve inches. 1t is most
excellent idea. Mr.. Lewis evidently is
master of his business.
l saw their. herd of hogs-all in fine
condition and worthy to be ranked as
thoroughbreds.
Prof. Burgess showed me their new
purchase from "Woodburn" stock farm
--Berkshire boar. The professor also
showed me many others that were good
ones.
L was very much impressed with sani-
tary conditions Of cattle barn, The
floors were so clean that lady could
nave walked through and not soil her
skirts or white slippers. This ipstitu.
ton the South Carolina people should be
proud of. j. w. WiDe;ns

COTTON RoTTING IN BoLLs.

Goodwill, S. c., September 12.-The
farmers hereabouts are glad to see that
the cotton spectators are beginning to
sec that the cotton crop is short. Some
VIII not make expenses under II cents,
and few not even at 20 cents per pound.
Cotton is rotting to such an extent that
the prospective yield of 80 days ago will
be cut off one-third, and poorer cotton is
completely washed out. Every boil in
some fields will be open (or rotted if the
rains and cloudy hot weather contnues)
in two or three weeks. Grass in some
fields already obscures the cotton, and
the bolls are being searched for in the
grass. Late corn is a comparative fail.
ure. But pea vines and crab grass hay
yields promise the best in several years.
Cutting has begun.

death of three white men, who were

and John and Joe Evans, his brothers-in-
law, on visit to him, were instantly
killed. The S-year-old son of Barfield

Anderson, September THE Charles

depot was completely destroyed by fire
this morning at o'clock. The fire origi-
mated on the inside of the building and
burned rapidly. No cause of the fire can
be ascertalned as yet. From four to five
thousand dollars worth of freight was
burned also. Two freight cars, with
their contents, were completely de-
stroyed. The entire loss is estimated at
over $4,000, but it is covered with insu-
rance, although the amount is not known
here. All records and office equipment
were lost and, therefore, it is hard to es-
innate losses. No other hnildinss were
damaged, as the depot was somewhat
distant from all neighboring houses.
