Forests and Water supply.

1t has been cOntended by scientists
familiar with the subject that the pres
ence of large wooded areas increase
the rainfall. This is on the principle
that the rain in some mysterious way
comes to meet the demand for it. Ac-
tual tests and observations seem to
bear out the theory. Not only so, but
the presence Of forests prevents the
evaporation Of the water that does
fall The trees shade the ground so
that the sun cannot cause evaporation,
and the fallen leaves form q further
coating to retain the moisture In this
connection DR.. J. T. Rothrock, commits
Sloner of forestry for Pennsylvania,
some years ago gave some interesting
statistics for the Schuylkill river. Ac-
cordlng to his estimates, the number
OF gallons of water passing down the
stream steadily decreased in eighty
years from 100000 to 195,000,000.
IN other words, the flow at the end of
lhe period was only 80 per cent Of
What it lad been at the beginning.
IhlS loss he ascribed chiefly to the
destruction of the forests in the vicin-
lty OF the river and its tributaries. His
observations and conclusions have
Oeen borne out by similar conditions
on other streams throughout the coun-
Try: These facts alone make the sub

Always Keeps Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy in His Hous

1--WE would not be without Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. 1t is kept on
hand continually in home" says w.
w. Kearney, editor of the Independ-
ent, Lowry City, Mo. That is just
what every family should do. When
kept at hand ready for instant use a
cold may be checked at the outset and
cured in much less time than after it
has become settled in the system. The
remedy is also without peer for
Group in children, and will prevent
the attack when given as soon as the
child becomes hoarse, or even after
the croupy cough appears, which can
only be done when the remedy is kept
at hand. For sale by Dawson Drug

"From dust thou art, and unto dust

will all all realize their full meaning.
There is nothing more sure than
death, which is the king of all sor-

Of all that are departing this life
none were more ready and willing to

nor death ever comes.
How many jewels in earthly caskets
have been claimed by the Master to

true to his devoted wife. AS teacher
and friend there we're none more kind
and helpful, which was always with a
smiling face.
His remains were Inferred in Cedar

BLEASE WAS ACQUITTED.
He Was Charged With the Murder OF Joe
Ben Coleman.

Saluda, April IL. Senator Eugene
S. Blease, charged with the murder of
Joe Ben Coleman, was tried yesterday
and acquitted. The jury remained out
about an hour, bringing in the verdict,
which cleared Blease at $50 O'Clock
last night.
The trial was sensational. The de-
PENDANT himself took the stand and told
of the improper relations existing be-
tween his wife and Coleman, which led
to the killing. He wept at times as he
talked, and just as he was leaving the
witness stand he was seen to stagger.
Several attorneys rushed forward and
caught the man in a dead faint. 1t was
some time before Blease regained con-
seriousness.
The testimony at the trial was sim
liar to that brought out at the inquest
over Coleman's body, held in Saluda the
day of the homicide. Blease and Cole
man married sisters. The attorneys for
the defense were almost the entire local
bar with former Solicitor Thurmond and
Cole l.. Blease of Newberry. The state
was represented by Solicitor Cooper,
assisted by Solicitor Sease.

Sketch OF Capt. w. S. Pitts.

Capt. w. S. Pitts, who died March
lS, 1906 left a widow, four sons and
three daughters. BY his death seven
children are deprived of a good father,
his wife a devoted husband, the Metho-
dist church a true member, the COM
munity a good citizen and neighbor, the

Capt. Pitts was n man of splendid
talents. He was a very successful
teacher, and for quite a number of
years he taught in the same school,
always giving the greatest satisfaction
to all interested.
| knew the deceased all his life, and
his was a life lived uprightly and in the
fear of the Lord. Much could be writ
ten of his works and words.
Some facts in connection with his
war record are of interest, especially
to all survivors of James Battalion and
the Third Regiment. He volunteered
in 1861, joining company B, Sd S. c..
battalion, or James battalion, as n pri-
vate. For his gallantry and courage in
battle he was soon made sergeant. The
ranks of the battalion and the Third
regiment becoming depleted, a com
pany was formed out of three COM
panies OF the battalion and two of the
regiment. w. S. Pitts was made cap
tain of this command and put in the
Third regiment. James battalion was
no more. 1t was almost wiped out in
it's first engagement at Boonsboro o,
South MOUNTAIN.
Capt. Pitts was always in the thick OF
the fight and | never saw him finch ir
battle or any other time. He was
wounded in the battles of Spottsylvanis
and Cold Harbor.
