Philad elphiac April 6,--A remark
able operation, news of which has
just leaked out, and ons which was
one of the most dificolt known to
medical science, was successfully per-
formed for the first time in this city
on March %.
Mrs. Anderson, So years old, the
wife Of Peter Anderson, has been a
sufferer with anaemia for many years.
Although at times given temporary
relief by tonios and other drugs, her
condition would gradually return to
that state of coma for which the dis
ease is noted. Mrs. Anderson had
dwindled. almost to a skeleton. About
ten days ago her physician, DR.. Davis
Reisman,. ordered her removal to the
P'olyolinic hospital, where every de-
vice known to the medical profession
was tried, but without, avail. On the.
night of March 28d the end seemed
rear. A hurried consultation was
called between DIR. Reisman and the
husband and DR.. G, M. Dorrance was
summoned.
DIR. Torrance had been experiment
ing on the blood transfer on animals
for three years, but on a human
subject. When DIR. Dorrance arrived
at the hospital he saw at a glance
that the womsn ~ss dying. The
husband was quickly etherized and
husband and wife lay side by side,
both unconscious-one from a death
like coma and the other from an an
esthetio.
The surgeon severed the pulse ar
teries in the husbands arm, at the
same time connecting them with the
large vein in Mrs. Anderson's left
arm, the j~unoture being clinohed with
tiny needles almost invisible. For
an hour the blood was permitted to
flow. AT every beat of the mans
heart a stream of red fluid was sent
into his wife's body. The effect was
noticeable at once. After the opera
ton Mr.. Anderson was revived,
looked at his wife who had been
snatched from the edge of the grave
and burst into tears, but to-day Mrs.
Anderson is cheerful and happy, and
her recovery is assured.

@Hsrrlman Attack wll Help Rsos.ssls,y
ATLANTA journal, April 81,

"The criticism and attacks upon
the President by such a man as Har-
riman are calculated only TO increase
the popularity of Roosevelt with the
people of America"
The foregoing statement expresses,
in part, the substance of Governor
elect Hoke Smiths opinion about the
controversy between President The
odore Roosevelt and Edward III. Har-
riman, railroad king and wizard of
high finance.
AT their request, MI. Smith has
wired to the New York World his
views upon the Roosevelt Hartman
affair. He has read with interest
all of the correspondence that has
been made public, and his well. known
attitude toward corporate influence
in politics and his position relative
to che transportation problem invite
national prominence to his views
about any public question.
The Governor elect, in his message
to The World, said he is unalterably
opposed to campaign contributions
by corporations, adding that It was
evident that the campaign of 1904
was influenced by such contributions.
He reiterated his advocacy of legis-
|%lation making such contributions
punishable as a criminal offense.
Continuing, Mr.. Smith said the
people of America are to-day most
interested in the transportation
problem and that they endorse the
efforts that are being made to curb
and control the railroads. 1t was in
this connection that he added that
the criticisms of the President by
such a man a Harrison would in
crease the popularity of President
Roosevelt.

Brutal Murder Near Florence.

Florence, April 3.-P. p. Smith,
manager of the Singletary saw mill,
near Hoffmeyer's store, four miles
west of the city, vas brutally MUIR
dered yesterday morning. Tom
Lloyd, a negro mill hand, was the
slayer of Smith, and he has made
good his escape.
Lloyd was employees about the
mill and he was slow about getting
to work. Mr.. Smith reprimanded
him about it.
Nothing was thought of the
occurrence until later in the MORN
ing, when Lloyd, with a canthook,
an implement used for turning logs,
slipped up behind Mr.. Smith and
struck him across the head, crushing
the skull and inficting a death blow.
Mr.. Smith fingered for about an
hour, but was unconscious all the
while.
Lloyd as soon as he committed the
dastardly deed made his escape into
the woods nearby and has not been
seen since. Lloyd is a mulatto about
s feet 6 inches high and weighs
about 145 pounds. He has q small
black mustache.
Mr.. Smith was from Fayetteville,
N. @, and was highly esteemed.
Coroner Cooper has gone to hold
an inquest. Sheriff Burch and his
deputies are hunting the woods for
Lloyd and have notified other She
rife and officers to keep g sharp
look out for him. When last seen
he wore a dark suit of dveralls.

Fertilizer Bulletin sent out to all
applicants by Fl. M. S~tackhouse,
Secretary Board Fertilizer Control,
Clemson College, s. @.
\ If any Of our Farmers Union
members have already bought any
of the mentioned fertilizers that are
short in value, our Union Bureau
would advise you first to make out a
careful statement in money value
according to shortage and present
your claim to the local agent or fac
tory that sold you the goods, and no
doubt if your claim is based upon
actual shortage in money value the
manufacturer of the goods could not
refuse TO pay a just claim. Other.
wise, If you are sure that your claim
is a just one, and the manufacturer
refuses to settle the matter, this
would be prima facie evidence that
fraud was intended at the start and.
proceedings should be taken at once
through your business agent to re-
the loss.
After establishing the fact that the
price of fertilizers was raised this
year and at the same time the quality
of the goods reduced, there is no.
jury in the country that would stand
for a rake.off both going and COM
ing, as this fact appears to he.
In looking over the Fertilizer
Bulletin we find quite a number of
samples from different manufactures
that are short in some one of the
three important ingredients-am-
monia, phosphoric acid or potash,
but as the money value in the short
age has been made up in the excess
on other ingredients the companies
falling short under these circum.
stances are not amenable to penal
ties under the last fertilizer law for
this, as the fertilizer men claim una
voidable error that sometimes come
to the best management in their
manipulation of ingredients. Is
But, however, if the farmer has an
idea that this ever can be avoided he
has a remedy in buying his ingredi-
ents in large wholesale lots aud do
ing his W manipulating of his fer
~tilizers, which no doubt can be done
on most farms with considerable
profit, outside of the comfort of
knowing that he is not liable to be
getting the shortage on one point
where some other man is getting the
long end of some ingredient that he
did not order. This whole review
this matter emphasizes the i'm
portance of buying fertilizer ingredi-
ents in large lots through your or
ganizations, where your sample test
may be made stand for shipments of
several hundred ton lots instead of
ten OF twelve tons where samples
have been drawn from small ship

terribly scared by the shots and

Still unharmed they dashed over

were in new danger.

master had blown in his ear too hard
and too often.
1t is against burro nature to run
away, but once started, it is also a.
gainst burro nature to stop or TO
swerve aside for anything whatever.
DoDk, entirely oblivioua to the safety
winding switch backs, went down the
rough and and precipisious slope with
down the rough and preoipitous slope
with the headlong velocity of Il rolling
boulder.
The boys had blown too hard in
Donks ear before-nothing else saw
ed them. With cool.headed the youth
calculated Donk's leaps and bounds,
and with knees tensely gripped and
shoulders deftly shifting into balance,
successfully offset them. The youngs-
ter, his arms clasped tightly about his
brothers waist and his heels digging
into Dunk's tanks, clung blindly.
So, breathless and rve-strained, they
made the decent to Sluice Valley in
safety. Just before dark that even
ing a battered burro bore his two
years masters to the door of their
mothers cabin, and while she welcom-
ed them with tears and caresses, Donk
intent on retrieving lost opportuni-
ty, licked up the potato parings which
be had failed to come for that mern-
ng.
Later, when they, including Donk,
went into the cabin, and with barred
doors awaited the appearance of the
sluice robbers-who were never again
seen in that part of the country
they discovered shot-bag full of i'll
gotten gold wrapped in coat tied
behind the saddle.
When the men had all struggled
back from the rush to Coarse Gold
Creek, it was planned to divide the
sacks in equal parts among tIose who
had lost by the rifing Of sluice- boxes.
But every miner scornfully refused
his share, and the gold was laid aside,
to be used little later for the boys
education.

DISCREET ION.

The time to do 81 thing is now,
Declares the sage profound;
Get busy with your little job
And make the wheels go round,
Unless to lick a bigger man
Is listed on the bill,
And then next week will do as we'll,
Or even later still
It's very fine to be on time,
Prompt with yonr daily toll,
To get the work done up before
A bit of it can spoil.
But when it comes to paying bills
To keep your credit straight
The time to do it isn't now,
Unless the man won't wait.
When by your sweet and loving wife
Allotted to the task
OF writing TO your mother-in-law
Toery kindly ask
II she viii come and stay six months
That isn't, you'll allow,
The kind cf job you really feel
You'd like to do right now.
In being at your meals on time,
In standing in the line
On PAYDAY well up toward the front
Is doubtless very fine,
But you can think of lots of things,
If you will only try,
That can be done much better in
That sweetest by and by.

"Mommy, there's two men in
camp!' An earnest youth and an ex-
cited youngster rode a sturdy burro
out from the timber and shouted the
words simultaneously.
1.-TWO men, laddies? Which way
from, and what like are they?"
cones a tall, Mexican-looking tel-
low replied the youth. "His pard.
ner is stubby and red-headed, the
same two that the Vigilantes chased
out of camp-and there hasn't been
any sluice-box robbng SINCE"
"They offered US SIS for Donk,"
added the youngster.
"And you refused it?' said the
mother, severely, but with eyes twink

"a thousand dollars in gold would
not touch our Donk," averred the
youngster.
The elder brother nodded his firm
approval of the small boys remark,
then queried, "What do you suppose
those toughs are shopping around
trying to buy burros for, mother?'
"They want to rush to Coarse Gold
Greek with the rest Of the ninnies, |
reckon. Or if they're the sluice-box
robbers, maybe it's cache of gold
they've come for, But jump down
from that thousand dollar Donk of
yours, both OF you, and get ready for
supper"
Early the next morning the youth,
with his fathers rifle on his shoulder,
and the youngster, carrying Donk's
bride, went up the canon through b the

these gems prevent intoxication, that
they are also advantageous to persens
having suits to monarchs, that they
ha.n off hailstorms and flights of
iocusts."
But it is also asserted says the
London Globe, that the amethyst
protects from strong passions and in
sures peace of Aind; it is useful
against poison; it gives soldiers vic
tory over their enemies. It is the
Jewel of Venus, and according to the
Rosicrusians should be worn on Thurs
days, set in copper.
The old Roman matrons are said to
have highly priced the stone, not so
much for lis intrinsic worth or inher-
ent beauty as for the fact that it act.
