Dynamited The College.

Report comes from Seneca, S. c.,
that Harrell college, negro institu-
ton there, was blown by dynamite
about midnight Friday night. Rev. j.
F. Williams, negro, is president of
the college and it is supported by
northern white people. He went to
Seneca from Abbeville several years
ago, and, it is said has made himself
Objectionable to the white people. He
advised the negroes not to work for
the white people. A letter of warning

KING SISOWA THIS VISIT COST
FRANCE TWO MILLION FRANCS

Now that King Sisowath is gone
from Paris his hosts are beginning to
count the cost of his visit, and they
are appalled, to find that the govern
ment has paid 100000 francs for the
pleasure of the dusky monarch's com
pany, and that of his large household.
While the treasury officials are busy
paying bills, disinfecting corps is at
work on the premises occupied by the
princesses and royal ballet The fumi-
eating going on would suggest the
clearing out of plague hospital.
The king was very cross at not be-
ing allowed to stay longer in the
French capital, and when he got to
Marseilles he actually baked and re-
fused to go on board the government
boat commissioned to take him home.
He said he wasn't ready, and they
could just wait. His official escort in
sisted, using the utmost diplomacy,
but as it was, the whimsical old king
of Cambodia carried out to the end
his invariable programme, of being
several hours late to all his appoint
ments, and left the shores of France
four hours after the appointed time for
sailing.

New Invention Said to Work Better at
Night Than Day.
Wireless telegraphy is like the doer
of evil in that it prefers darkness to
light. 1t always works better at
night than in daylight. This peculiar
fact is causing some trouble at the
wireless stations that have been erect
ed north of the Arctic circle, where it
is continuous day during half of the
year. 1t seems that the aerial vlbra-
tions are interfered with by the sun
light, with the result that there are
frequent interruptions between Fort
Michael and Nome. Walter Well

apparatus, but when he strikes long
days with it, he may not be able to
get out much news.

KISSING BAD AS MOSQUITOES MORE ABOUT GRASS WORMS
EntOmOlOgists Opinion As to What
Has Become OF Them and How
They Will Appear Again.

Mr.. A. J. Fleetwood, the we'll known
Lee county farmer whose crops were
threatened complete destruction by
the army of grass worms which was
eating it's way over his plantation
about a week ago, was in the city yes
terday and gave out some interesting
information about the grass worm, or
army worm as some people call them.
Mr.. Fleetwood stated that an expert
entomologist from the state depart
ment of agriculture visited his farm
Just after the worms had disappeared.
Mr.. Fleetwood says that he was afraid
his visitor would think that he had
misrepresented the facts in regard to
the worms, as he was unable to show
him single worm where they had
been in millions. He explained to the
expert how the worms had completely
disappeared, but said he was unable
to account for their complete 6isap-
pearance. The entomologist laughed
and said: "Do you want to know
what has become of them 20 and be-
ing assured in no uncertain terms that
Mr.. Fleetwood was very anxious to
obtain this information, he dug down
into the ground a few inches, and
there were the worms.
They had gone into the ground and
had webbed themselves all up and
were in chrysalis state. The ento-
mologist explained that they would
remain in such state until the spring
when they would come out in the form
of flies. These flies will lay eggs on
the plants in the spring, and these
eggs will hatch out into the grass
worms again.-Albany Herald.

Or. E. G.. Goodrich, secretary of the
Augusta board of health, has given

He admits that it is not within the
power of the board to pass law pro-
hibiting kissing, but thinks it should
be put under the ban, or, if cooling
lovers or husband and wife should in

on the forehead, cheek or hand and
never on the lips.
There is nothing that tends to

his system, and upon kissing another

people have always kissed and
will continue to do SO, but kissing
should be prohibited by law The
records prove that kisses transmit as
much disease as the mosquito. No
matter how much young people or
married people love each other, they
should never kiss. If they must do it.,
never kiss on the lips, either on the
cheek or forehead.

tallic molds made to correspond.
The mold for each house will be
made in detachable parts. There
will be separate plates and small
molds that can be screwed together
easily to form one mold for an entire
house. That fine finish may be
obtained, the inside surfaces of the
parts will be nickel plated.
after the mold for the whole
house is set up it will be simple
matter to pump the condrete into
every nook and Granny. After four
days the parts of the mold will be
unscrewed and taken off and the
solid concrete house will remain.
Edison says the plan will be car
ried out in such detail that dormer
windows, chimneys, spouts, and or
namental designs will be nodded
with the whole and that inside cup
boards, fireplaces, stairways with
ornamental banisters, mantel pieces
and even bath tubs will be formed
in the cast in which the house
proper will be made.
Plumbing Also to BE Nodded.
The house will be so complete
that when the mold is removed the
installation of electric wires, win
dow sashes, etc., will be all that
will be necessary before the fur
nishers and carpet layers may go to
work. Even the plumbing and gas
piping will be of concrete and mold
ed in the original cast.
AS a practical demonstration of
what may be accomplished by the
process Edison has built complete
chicken house in his back yard,
nodded in one solid piece out of
concrete. 1t has many compart-
ments and doorways and decorated
cornices of intricate design.
The original cost of each mold,
with all it's component parts, the in
ventor estimates at $685. From
each mold, however, he says an un-
limited number of houses may be
produced. Because the parts Of
the mold are to be detachable it will
be portable and one mold may be
sent with little difficulty from town
to town. About ninety houses
could be built in one year by the
use of a single mold, at cost Of
from $500 to 5000 apiece.

THOMAS EDISON'S PLAN To CAST HOUSES
Believes Solution of Cheap House Problem Is Now at
Hand To Pour Concrete in Mold and Turn
Out Entire House at One Casting

Whole houses nodded in a single
casting out of concrete, which will
provide cozy homes for working
men at a cost of from $500 to 5000
much less than the average mechan-
ic pays today-is the goal which
Thomas A. Edison is striving to
reach. He is confident of success.
Combined with economy Of con-
struction and maintenance the in
ventor aims to embody architectural
beauty and practical indestructibil-
ity.
Mr.. Edison intends to make his
first practical experiments next
year in his village in Warren coun-
ty, New Jersey. One of the big
Edison industrial establishments is
situated there, and he purposes to
erect the homes by the new process
for the families of the hundreds of
employees of the plant. If he sue
ceeds in demonstrating the practic-
ability of the scheme he will intro
duce it generally.
House Model In Four Days
He already has conceived every
detail of the project. -Four days
at the outside is the period Edison
estimates will be necessary to cast
and turn out whole houses with
from eight to ten rooms each, COM
plete in almost every detail and
ready to be furnished and carpeted.
The actual time for pumping the
concrete into the metallic molds is
only a few hours, and the rest of
the time will be consumed in dry
ing out and hardening. Whole
cities of concrete may be reared in
the brief period of four days if only
enough molds and men are pro-
vided.
Mr.. Edison thinks that the time
is near when the world must find
some substitute for brick and lum-
Der. The yellow pine forests of the
United States will be destroyed
within fifty years if the present
drain upon them is maintained.
