THE FIRST PRAYER.
That Was Uttered at the First Ses
son Of the American Congress
Pasted in Old Book.

We take pleasure in inserting the
following letter together with the
copy Of the prayer, which Mr.. Werts
kindly sends to The Herald and News.
We are sure that it will be read with
interest by many of our readers, and,
no doubt, will be pasted in other
scrap-books: T.
Editor Herald and News,
Newberry, S. c..
Dear sir: ~.< .
Having found this prayer pasted
on the back of an old book, and
thinking possibly it would interest
the readers Of your paper, I send It
for publication if you see fit.
: = Respectfully,
R. M. Werts.
Silver Street, S. G..
The first chaplain Of the American
congress was Rev. Jacob Duche, and
the following words constitute the
first prayer offered in our national
congress:
go Lord our Heavenly Father,
high and mighty King Of Kings and
Lord of Lords, who doth from thy
throne behold all the dwellers on
earth, and reigneth with power su-
preme and unlimited over all king
doms, empires and governments, look
down in mercy, we beseech thee, on
these American states, wno have
fled to thee from the rod Of the op-
pressor, and thrown themselves on
thy gracious protection, desiring to
be henceforth dependent only on thee.
To thee they nave appealed for the
righteousness Of their cause; to thee
do they now look up for that coun-
tenance and support which thou
alone canst give.
"Take them, therefore, Heavenly
Father, under thy ministering care;
give them wisdom in council and valor
in the field; defeat the malicious de-
signs of our cruel adversaries; con-
vince them Of the unrighteousness Of
their cause; and, if they still persist
in their sangiunary purpose, oh, let
the voice of thine own unerring JUS
tice, sounding in their heart, con-
strain them to drop the weapons Of
war from their hands in thc day Of
battle.
"Be thou present, O God Of wis
dom, and direct the councils of this
honorable assembly,; enable them to
settle things on the best and surest
foundation, that the scene of blood
may be speedily closed-that order,
peace and harmony may be effect
ually restored, and truth and justice,
religion and piety prevail and flour
ish among thy people. Preserve the
health Of their bodies and the vigor Of
their minds.
"Shower down upon tnem, and the
millions they here represent, such
temporal blessings as thou seest ex-
pedient for them in the world, and
crown them with everlasting glory
in the world to come.
"All this we ask in thy name, and
through the merits Of Jesus. Christ.
thy SOM our Savior. Amen"

by fire the latter part Of last week.
No one was residing in the house, and
there is no evidence as to the cause Of
the burning. However, some people
attribute it to the carelessness OF
negroes who we're thought to gather
there for gambling. The building was
erected nearly hundred years ago.

WHERE WATER

WASHINGTON, Sept 5.-Millions
of gallons of artesian waters are going

the water resources of the northern
part of that state. over a million gall

CUBA PROVES
PROFITABLE

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. s.
That Cuba is becoming profitable to us
as ward and neighbor is shown by a
recent report prepared by the bureau
of statistics of the department of COM
merce and labor on the commerce of
the two countries during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1907.
Trade of the United States with
Cuba in the fiscal year just ended ag-
gregated almost $150,OOO,OOO. The i'm
ports from the island were nearly
$100,O00,000 in value, and the exports
thereto nearly $50,O00,000. To be more
accurate, the value of the imports from
Cuba in the fiscal year ending June
80, 1907, was $97, AL, $50, and the ex-
ports thereto $43, 305,374.
In, both imports and exports. the
trade with Cuba in 1907 exceeded that
of any previous year. The largest i'm
ports from the island in any previous
year were those of 1905, when they ag-
gregated a little over $S6,OOO,0 900. The
largest exports to the island prior to
1907 were those of 1906, when they ag-
gregated $47,75O,OOO.
The imports from the islan5 exceed
by Is per cent those of the highest
record year under Spanish rule 1874,
when the imports from Cuba were val
ued at $S5,5OO,000. The exports to the
island are about twice as much as
those of the highest export year under
Spanish rule. 1898, when the exports
to the island were $24,0O0O0 in value.
A comparison of the trade with Cuba
in 1907 with that of the last year prior
to the present reciprocity treaty, 1908,
gives some interesting results. The re-
ciprocity treaty went into effect in De-
cember, 1903, and the last full year OF
trade prior to that date was the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1903. A COMPARE
son of the figures of that year with
those of 1907 shows an increase of
about SO per cent in the imports from
the island, and of about 125 per cent |
in the exports to the island. During
the same period the increase in i'm !
ports from other parts of the world was |
about 40 per cent, and the Increase of |
exports to other parts of the world
about 80 per cent. .,s.-.

SCALE TAKES
EASTERN FRUIT

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Western
apples will find a ready market In
Eastern cities during the coming win
ter; in fact Western fruits of all va
rietes will be in demand. The San
Jose scale has wrought untold havoc
in the old orchards of the East during
the past year or two, and in conse-
quence many farmers who normally
reaped large profits from their fruits
will this year get no return whatso-
ever.
The San Jose scale has been partic-
ularly disastrous in New England and
New York. which usually produce
enormous quantities of apples. Last
| year the orchards of that region show
ed the first signs of the work of the
scale when decay set in. This year
! the scale has completed the ruination
section, and farmers find that they will
have very little first class fruit, and
only a small portion of what they have
been accustomed to market. By mex
year the trees in affected orchards
will be dead if they are not sooner re-
moved by the AK.
Great as will be the loss sustained
by the Eastern fruit growers, thu
Western orchardists will profit in turn
for the demand for apples and pears il
always heavy, and frst-class frui
commands a first-class price. Hereto
fore New York city has been unabl
to get anything like the quantity o
Western fruit that is desired, and tn
limited quantity that has been sol
commanded fancy prices. With the 10
acl supply greatly diminished, tn
price of Western fruit will probabl
be kept up, owing to the increased de
mand.

REIDY TELLS OF
QUEER PLAYS

SEATTLE, Sept. 5.-Bil1 Reidy, wen
known in Seattle as member of the
Oakland team, sat on the bench feel
ing like 60 summers and as many WIN
tiers recently, says the Times. The
trouble with BIZ is he caught cold
which settled in the muscles OF his
back and shoulders. Talking about
queer and unusual decisions of UNI
pires, Reidy sprung one which is worth
repeating. In a game at Brooklyn,
where he was playing, the bases were
full and the umpire was working be-
hind the plate.
THE pitcher passed up four balls to
the batter" said Reidy, but the fourth
ball got away from the catcher and
hit the umpire. tombstone, who was
umpiring, allowed the batter to go to
| first because of four balls, and then
he sent him on to second because the
ball hit him, and two runs were
forced. There was a lot Of arguing over
the decision, which was carried up to
the league authorities. I believe that
the authorities decided that the case
was not covered by the rules, as lot
of cases are, and it was left to the
good Judgment of the umpire. A bat
ter has slim chance of reaching Sec
ond on a passed ball.
, Another decision came up back
there which caused no end OF argH~
. ment," resumed Reidy, land 1t was
, this There was a man on first and
man on third. The ball was hit to
deep center The man on third waited
to see If the ball was caught, but the
man on first thought there was nc
chance of a catch and ran past Sec
ond, and before he could get back tt
first the ball was there. In the mean
time the runner scored from third be-
fore the man on first was retired Th'
argument was whether the run scored

once yielded copious and strong flows
have ceased to flow entirely. BY this
means, also, the ground water level in
this region in 10 years has been low
cred over 10 feet.
This loss Of head, not only in Indi-
ana but in other parts Of the country
/ has served to call attention to the fact
that the available artesian supplies are
| by no means inexhaustible. Our in
| exhaustible" supplies Of natural gas
and petroleum are rapidly being de-
pleted, and the biologists and coal eX-
perts of the national survey have COM
puted with probable accuracy the date
| of exhaustion of our coal beds. Our
"inexhaustible" forests are so danger
ously threatened with speedy exhaus-
ton that national legislation is now
deemed necessary to protect them
The effect of deforestation on stream
flow is at last well recognized. Since
the forests Of Indiana have been cut
off, the ordinary flow of many of the
l streams Of the state has notably dwin
| died and the freshet flow is far NOR
destructive.
The conservation of the artesian wa
ter supply should not be very difficult

MACHINES AS
STRIKE BREAKERS

CHICAGO, Sept 5.-Claims that the
! telegraphers strike has been broken
by machines are made by officers Of
the telegraph companies &
THE telegraphers strike is broken.
/ The operators are defeated more sig
nally than they were in 1883 The
walkout of the men has educated the
telegraph companies. They have
learned how to use octuplex machines
with IS a week girl operators and to
double their sending capacity. This
will reduce the number of employees at
least 20 per cent. The strike has also
started an inventive research which
will result in still further improve
ment and consequent greater efficien-
cy in the mechanical telegraph ma
chimes"
The above statement was made last
night by Superintendent w. I. Capen
of the Postal Telegraph company, in
summing up the situation. After three
weeks of the fight Secretary RusselI
issued statement to the effect that
serts the strikers have positive evi-
dence of the weakening of the COM
panies with the resolution already
formed by their directors to yield if
the operators remain out another fort
night. He declares the men are as firm
as on the first day and will hold out
for 80 days longer without break.
Russell says:
There are $1,000 telegraphers out,
and but 912 at work. We have album
dant funds and all the strength of g.
100000 organized wage earners behind
up. That does not look as If the strike
was lost.
From unbiased sources it is learn
ed the companies are still receiving
messages subject to delay. For many
points they are refused altogether. The
city branch offices of both companies
are still closed

CHARACTER TOLD IN 80 SECONDS
Automatic Electric Phrenometer Maps
the Uranium.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-No longer is
it necessary for man the surface of
whose head resembles miniature
mountain range to submit himself to
a pfTenologist, so that the meaning
of the various excrescences may be ex
planned. The automatic electrical
phrenometer" viii do all that for him,
and do ii too in half a minute. Not
only does the machine measure bumps,
but it records the exact proportions of
the normal qualities corresponding to
those excrescences.
The bump machine is a heavy steel
helmet suspended from a movable bar,
above the electrical mechanism, and
fitted inside with a great number of
steel prongs or fingers. The subject
Is placed underneath, the helmet is
lowered, the steel fingers close tightly
upon his Uranium, a steel prong
catches hold of his nasal organ with
a strong and resolute grip, and there
he is, looking for all the world like
prisoner in a torture chair of the
Spanish inquisition.
The operator winds a little handle,
there is a whirr of the machinery, and
in 80 seconds the bump machine has
not only dissected a character, but has,
by the printing continuance beneath,
put it down in black and white, on
clean paper. Those who have tried
it have found 1t most ingenious and
occasionally embarrassing.
