owe Lamp Chimney to Child.

The comfortable and convenient
lamp chimney Of everyday use is to be
attributed to child's restlessness.
Argand, native of Switzerland, a
poor man, invented lamp the wick OF
which was fitted into hollow cylinder
that allowed current of air to supply
oxygen to the interior as well as the
exterior of the circular frame. The
lamp was success, but its inventor
had never thought of adding glass
chimney, and probably never would
have thought of it had not his little
brother been playing in his workrOom
while Argand was engaged with the
burning lamp. The boy had gained
possession Of an old bottomless flask.
and was amusing himself by putting
II over the top OF the lamp, and the
flame instantly responded by shooting
with increased brilliance up the mar
row neck OF the flask. Argand's ready
brain at once caught the idea, and his
lamp was perfected by the addition OF

a game that requires extensive ap:

a real fat boy.

Here is the way the game Is played:
The first player takes his pencil and
places the eraser end against the fat
boys abdomen. Then he pushes the
abdomen as far back as 1t will go and
releases the pencil. The fat and mus
cles bounding back into place act as
n sort OF catapult and hurl the pen

Then another boy tries it, and an
other, until all have had their turn.

the game is from the fat boys point

HOMICIDE AT YORK MILLS.

Ely Smith, a young white operative
employed at the York Cotton mills,
died Wednesday afternoon from the
effects of injuries inflicted on him the
day before by julius r. Robinson, a
section boss under which he was
working, and Robinson is in Jail.
Upon the death of Smith, Robinson
surrendered to Sheriff Brown and Cor
oner Louthian being out Of town,
having gone to Charlotte on a visit
to his son, Magistrate ]. c. Conner,
summoned jury and held an inquest
over the body Of the deceased.
From the facts developed at the in
quest, 1t appears that Robinson had
been finding fault with the manner In
which Smith had been doing his work
and had reported the matter to Su-
perintendent Killian. The final dis
pute developed from this circumstance.
Those present were unable to say
which was the aggressor or exactly
what occurred; but there seems to be
no question Of the fact that Robinson
struck Smith on the head with spin
ming frame slat and Smith sank in
sensible from the blow or blows. An
autopsy made by Drs. Walker and
Barron, showed that Smith died from
concussion of the brain.
Robinson has retained John r. Hart,
Esq, for his defense; but as to wheth-
er or not there will be an application
for bail has not yet developed.

A handsome two-year- animal

Mr.. Carroll Is back from Chester,

admirers of horse flesh, who know the
pretty animal that won the coveted
prize.
Speaking of the show this morning,
Mr.. Carroll said that there was a great
crowd of people there from Chester,
Fairfield, Lancaster York and various
parts of North Carolina, and in all
there were not less than $50 horses
and mules on exhibition.
1T am very sure" says Mr.. Carroll,
that If more of our people up this
way had exhibited their best animals,
York would have carried away more
prizes. Quite a number Of animals
that would not begin to compare with
many Of ours, were adjudged among
the winners

information on which he feels war
ranted in intimating that within a
year the government will have COM
menced operations looking to the es-
tablishment Of big ship building
plant at Charleston. This would not
be at all surprising. On the contrary
after one has contemplated the tre-
mendous developments that are now IN
progress and nearing completion at the
Charleston naval station, it is difficult
to be reconciled to the idea that there
is nothing in view beyond the making
of temporary repairs on machinery and
scraping the bottom Of ships. In some
of its features the big dry dock at
Charleston is equal to anything OF the
kind in the world, and people VINO
know admit that all the conditions FOR
the establishment of ship building
plant are ideal. OF course, there Will

ACREAGE SLIGHTLY REDUCED.
Such Is the Testimony of the Fertilizer
Tax.

1t is usually presumed. says a Co.
lumbia special to the GreenVille News
that the amount OF commercial fertil-
izer used Is an indication Of the size
Of the cotton crop or rather or the
acreage planted in cotton and II this
be true the acreage this year Is likely
to be found much smaller than last
year but still great deal larger than
in 1904-05. 1t was in these two years
that the efforts to reduce acreage were
made throughout tthe south but last
year the acreage went up again, In
kind of reaction from the campaign
of the year before, and now 1t seems
to have taken a turn again.
The amount of fertilizer sold Is de.
termined by the amount Of tax PAID
into the state treasury. The tax is
% cents per ton on all fertilizers sold
in South Carolina, the money going to
Clemson college where under the law
the fertilizer is analysed. To date the
amount Of tax paid this year is $132,-
3lO.O1, and up to the same date last
year the amount of tax was $143,SS9. Ia,
which Is $11,579.13 more than this
year.
The amount of tax paid on this years
tons-529,240 tons, to be exact, repre-
sents over five hundred thousand TONS
while the amount of tax to this time
last year represents 575,556 tons.
The total amount Of the tax last
year was $167,157S9, which is the larg-
est amount ever paid In on this TAX.
The tax ends June 80, according TO the
books of Clemson college.
