Work For Your Town.

If you have made up your mind to
live in a town, then stand up for it,
and if you know positively no good,
then silence is golden. Do all you
can to help along every man who is
engaged in legitimate business, Do
not send away for everything nice
you want and still expect the home
men to keep a stock to suit the Whlm
of one or two customers. The sue
cess of your fellow townsmen will be
your success. No man liveth to him
self and no man does business inde-
pendently of his fellow business men.
Take your home paper. Do not I'M
agine the big dailies fill up all this
space. There are many little crevices
Of good cheer, social sunshine, per-
sonal mention, in the home paper
that the big fdailes do not print.
Then do not abuse your nelghbor:

Oil rlills Qverstocked With Seed.

MIR. B. F. Taylor, chairman Of the
publicly bureau of the Interstate

stated today that IS cotton seed oil
mills in this state report the amount
of cotton seed in the mills to Novem-
Der 1st as being 1000 tons per mill.
The total amount of seed crushed by
these mills for the whole of last sea-
son was 211, 900 tons. "This indi-
Gates" said Mr.. Taylor. THAT the
farmers know when to sell their cot
ton seed"
The price has declined in South
Carolina from SA per ton to Sl3 per
ton, during last month. This was due
almost entirely to financial condi-
tions, but to some extent also, to
large receipts at the mills. "Fortu-
nately," said Mr.. Taylor, most of
these mills have sold the oil as they
madeit andin many instances received
as high as 43 cents per gallon for the
crude oil. The price now is % cents. I"

Will Accept Nomination.

LINCOLN, NEB., Nov. 14.-William
Jennings Bryan will accept the Dem
ocratic nomination for the presidency
in 1908 but will neither ask for nor
make a fight for it.
He says for a year or more he has
been pressed to answer the question:
''Will you accept the nomination"
and believes the public is entitled to
an answer and to know his position.
''The question that ought to weigh
most" he says, ''is whether his nomi-
nation will strengthen the democratic
party more than the nomination of
some one else"
Not only will he not seek or ask for
the nomination, but he will not as
same to decide the questions of avail
ability and if the prize falls to an.
other he will be neither disappointed
nor disgruntled. At the same time he
denies that he has waited this long
in desire to see whom the Republi-
cars are likely to nominate, or to as
certain the chances of victory.

Society Music.

Mary will have to be asked to play
when she goes out in society. A proud
mamma will attend to that. And Mary
will play with faithful accuracy some
thing from Chopin or Beethoven or
Mendelssohn, and the young people
will watch her chubby fingers thought
fully and wonder when the selection
will come to an end. They will ap-
plaud, too-when the end is reached
for that is good manners, and every
body likes Mary, anyhow. And then
we'll, Lucy Smith, who has never taken
lessons, will rollick up to the piano
and begin a coon song, hands and feet
will beat time all over the room, half
the listeners will hum the refrain,
everybody will see the difference be-
tween the piano as penance and as a
pleasure, and only Mary's mamma Will
make unpleasant side remarks about
the degeneracy Of popular taste In
music.-Cynthia Westovel Alden IN

ToCure Hams.

If you want good, sweet meat try
this way. After cutting up your hams
let them lie until next day. Use a
clean cask to put them in. Pour
water enough on to cover well, then
draw off the water and add good
molasses until it it is pleasant to
drink. Dissolve in a little hot water
one ounce saltpeter for every twenty
pounds of meat and add to it.. Then
carefully add fine salt and stir until
dissolved. When potato as large as
an egg will float in it, pour it on the
meat. Keep it in cool place from
eight to twelve weeks, then remove
from the pickle and lay the rind side
down for four days to dry. Hang in
an open smokehouse and make a
smoke of hickory or maple once or
twice day for a week, and. after
that once a day for ten days. We
have found March to be the best
month to cure hams with smoke.
Hams cured in this way will keep for
a year or longer.-American Farmer.

HARD CAVERN TO EXPLORE.
"Pursatory," Near Worcester, Mass
Thwarts All Attempts.

ln"6TS8 SAh HAe0tHSSs
"Purgatory," cave only a few
miles from Worcester, Mass, many Of
whose mysterious bypaths have yet to
be explored, is now attracting the at
tention Of scientists all over New
England because of the failure Of Miss
Lucia B. Thomson of Boston, a well
known mountain climber, to penetrate
the cavern, says Worcester dispatch
to the New York Tribune. No one has
yet had the courage to penetrate the
farthest depths Of the cave, and such
an attempt Is admittedly fraught with
danger, for at its bottom Is an unex-
plored subterranean lake or river.
There are scarcely three months In
the year IN which it Is possible to en-
ter the cavern. Miss Thomson, who
has climbed the highest peaks Of the
Pacific coast ranges, gave up the at
tempt after climbing in the antecham-
bers several hours. Though she has
climbed Mount Whitney, she says she
never encountered more difficult task
than the cavern. Miss Annie Peck OF
Providence, a we'll known European
climber, will try to explore the cave.

Thu First 1eacups.

Even after tea was introduced into
Europe and had come into general use
teacups were scarce. At the same time
coffee was introduced; but, apart from
Constantinople, the first coffee cups ID
Europe date back only as far as 1915
in Venice, 1859 in Paris, 1852 In Lon
don and 1854 in Leipsic. From the
first, however, the conventional orien'
tai coffee cup, without stem or handle.
was little used, and in Germany not at
all. The Chinese teacup was used for
tea, coffee and chocolate as well. Speci-
mems of porcelain were undoubtedly
introduced into Europe in the middle
ages, yet not till the sixteenth century
were cups imported from China In any
great quantities, and even then 1t was
as articles Of vertu. Most Of those
found their way back into China again,
as collecting porcelain is lasting fad
there, and high prices are paid for
good specimens. The collection OF
Chinese porcelain, If only the genuine
specimens are desired, requires I'M
mense study and knowledge, as the
Chinese are skillful imitators and put
numerous falsifcations on the market

Wives Scarce in Panama.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15-Any woman
who wants to get married has only to
90 to Panama, according to Miss
Helen Varick Boswell, who recently
returned from that land Of matri-
monial opportunity, after having or
ganized on behalf of the secretary of
war, a canal zone federation of
women's clubs.
''You may not think it." Miss Bos-
we'll said, in talking to the women's
republican club at Delmonico's yes
terday, ''but no woman need remain
unmarried in Panama. The activities
of Cupid on the isthmus are tremen-
dous. There are scores of lonely
bachelors, all longing, no doubt, for
the comforts of a home, and so the
place is a great matrimonial market.
Miss Boswell also gave some inter-
esting glimpses Of unofficial life at
Panama. Of the class distinctions
she said:
There are the official ladies and the
clerical ladies and the steam-shovel
ladies. The clerical ladies don't care
to know the steam shovel ladies, and
the official ladies feel that their posi-
ton is much superior to that of the
clerical ladies. That is why it needed
an outsider to organize a woman's
club. There are women on the 18TH
mus who could have done the work
just as we'll as l did, but they could
not innocently mix with all classes
and appear not to know that they ex-
isted."

A Misunderstood Jest,

Lord Lytton when viceroy Of India
was seated one day at dinner next to
a lady whose name was Birch and
who, though very good looking, was
not oyerintelligent. Said she to his
excellency:
"Are you acquainted with any Of the
Birches?
"Oh, yesv' replied Lord Lytton- "l
knew several of them most intimately
while at Eton-indeed, more intimate
~ than I cared to-"
my lord" replied the lady, "you
forget the Birches are relatives OF
nine"
"And they cut me-" said the viceroy,
"but," and he smiled his wonted smile,
sI have never felt more inclined to
kiss the rod than l do now"
Sad to say, Mrs. Birch did not see
the point and told her husband his e1'
cellency had insulted her.

Dispensaries Remain Open.

COLUMBIA, Nov. 16.-The supreme
court today handed down a decision
in the Kershaw dispensary election
case. the effect of which is to perma-
nently keep open the dipensaries,
which on the face of the returns
were voted out by a large majority.
The county board of canvassers sus-
tained the election, but the State
board reversed. Now the supreme
court sustains the State board. The
election was protested on the ground
Of irregularities and the secrecy OF
the ballot.

Aliens Leave This Country.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-Immigrants
are becoming emigrants Just now.
More than 5000 men Of alien birth
who have been working in this coun-
try have just sailed from this port for
their native shores, aboard three
liners, the Amerika of the Hamburg
American line, the Pannonia of the
Cunard line and La Touraine Of the
French line. This remarkable eexodus,
according to the steamship agents,
is due chiefly to the closing down of
mills and factories. More than A.
OOO Hungarians, Poles and Bohe-
mians wanted to sail by the Amerika,
but her steerage capacity is only g.
GOO, hence about 1000 were left be-
hind. But these latter will sail by
the steamer President Grant tomor-
row. Besides this 1900, the Presi-
dent Grant will carry 1000 immi-
grants previously booked. The Pan
nonia was obliged to leave behind a
few hundred Italians, but these will
get away,
The general passenger agent OF
the Hamburg-American said that
the outgo of foreigners was three
times that of November of last year.
"A small proportion Of these can be
accounted for by those who wish to
visit their homes in Europe, but the
vast majority return on account OF
factories closing down. The eml-
grants took away with them consider
able American money. One steam
ship agent estimated that the aver
age savings of each passenger could
not be less than $500.

An ingenious device has been invent
ed by an employee Of the street rail-
way in an American city and is being
tested. Whenever a passenger stands
on the lower step a buzzer sounds IN
the motorman's compartment and
warns him not to start the car until
the signal ceases, which it does the
instant the passenger reaches the plat
form or the ground. Contact points
are placed ir the step which are
brought together by the weight Of the

SPLEEN AS A FOOD.
Not Only Edible, but Highly hutrf'
tious, Declares Boston Physician.

Not Only Edible, but Highly Nutri.
tious, Declares Boston Physician.
Declaring that red blood corpuscles
come from the spleen and also an
nouncing that spleens are edible, Dr..
Edward T. Williams, graduate OF
Harvard Medical school, believes he
has found the means Of adding 50,O00,-
600 pounds to the nations annual meat
supply, which should mean a saving
Of $5,0oo,00o year, says Boston
special dispatch to the New York Her
aid His discovery, he believes, makes
it possible for the poor to obtain meat
at q cost not exceeding 10 cents
pound.
DR.. Williams was graduated from
the Harvard Medical school In 1896
and several years ago gave up pro-
table practice to engage In original
research. In humble rooms In Dudley
street. Boston, he has lived as q re-
cluse, devoting his time to study and
experimenting.
Speaking Of his work to one OF the
few persons who ever gained admit
tance to his quarters, he said:
I'm the work ! have been carrying
on I think the most important discov-
ery I have made is In regard to the
spleen, for have found that it is this
organ which makes the red blood cor
puscles.
while this may be- matter OF con-
siderable interest to physicians ana
specialists, still what is Of far greater
importance to the average man or wo-
man is that have discovered spleens
are good to eat and extremely palata-
BILE when fresh. The average spleen
contains three-quarters Of a grain OF
iron and one and one-half grains OF
phosphorus per ounce, which makes 1t
the richest possible food and particu-
larly valuable in all cases Of impover-
ished bloods or nervous debility.
1.-THE spleen is really the iron gland
of the body. and contains more phos-
phorus than any other organ, with
the exception Of the brain. I ate my
first spleen about five years ago and
found it quite palatable. The reason
spIeens have never become an article
of commercial valus in the beef Indus
try is because they spoil so quickly.
There is little use in placing them on
ice. for after few hours they seem
to disintegrate and fall apart and con-
seauently are not marketable"
DR.. Williams has found, however.
that spleens can be kept like other
meat If the albumen in them 1s frst
coagulated by cooking. BE says he :1s
negotiating with sausage manufac-
turer to put spleen on the market put
up like sausages.
