Why Popcorn Pops.

"What makes popcorn popl" asks
the inquisitive .youngster. BY the
evasive replies he receives it is evil
dent that the real reason is not gene
rally known. The different kinds of
corn contain oil in varying proper
tions. In popcorn there is a censid-
erable amount. This expands when
heated, becomes explosive and causes
the kernels to pop open. In COM
mon corn the percentage of oil is
small, and for this reason it only
cracks, without exploding, when
heated, says Good Housekeeping.
Popcorn is inexpensive and nutri-
tious as we'll if not used to overin-
diligence.

Columbia, Feb. l4,-Tbe South
Carolina State dispensary, fathered
by Senator B. r. Tillman and inau.
gurated in 1898, was abolished by
the adoption of the Carey Cothran
bill in the State Senate Tuesday
hight by vote of % TO 15. The
new law provides for local option as
between county dispensaries and
prohibition.
The bill adopted Tuesday night
has already passed the House, but
will 60 back on few amendments
originating in the Senate. Owing
to the large anti-dispensary majority
in the House, the measure will un-
doubtedly become law.
The bill provides that elections
shall be held in the various dispen-
sary counties in May next, allowing
county dispensaries or prohibition,
as the votars see fit. The Is prohi-
bition cour lies remain e'dry" for two
years longer.
The House has already passed
bill providing for The winding up of
the affairs of the State dispensary.
This measure calls for an executive
committee of seven bonded members,
who shall have entire control of the
State establishment. They are al.
lowed IS per day and expenses, their
pay to cease January IL, 1908.

Baptist Courier, February IA.
Westminster, s. O., Feb. 8, 1907
Friday night, February 1st, on our
return from supper, (for we had not
yet began eating at the parsonage)
we found some of our good neigh
bors awaiting us on our piazza, well
laden with gracious gifts. These
were soon joined by others, all bear
ing gifts or tokens of goodwill.
Both the gifts and goodwill are
greatly appreciated by the pastor and
wife.
For four years these good people
had seemed anxious for chance to
thus bestow their generosity, and
even showed their impatient desire
fer it by coming upon the pastor a
year ago with generous donation
party. He promised them to hasten
the time when they could give him a
"pounding." So this generous pound.
ing is evidently meant chiefly for Mrs.
Moore.
On Thursday afternoon informa-
tion came that q box Of freight was
at the depot for us. What time
we had examining into the contents
of that bog, which was from the
splendid folk of the First Baptist
church of Easley-groceries, includ-
ing tea, coffee, flour, cereals of vari-
GUS kinds, butter and table linen, bed
linen, counterpaines, quilts, towels
and various useful articles filed the
box.
The people have done nobly for us
for which we are grateful. These
things not only help the pastor in a
material way, but they bind him and
the flock closer together and enrich
the individual giver even more than
the recipient.
So many have been the kindnesses
shown in word and deed that we
have repeatedly refused to consider
flattering propositions from other
churches, where more salary was
offered, and more conveniences and
advantages in other ways, but per-
haps more love would not have been
found. We want to serve God
where He wants US, whether here or
elsewhere, but we are among noble,
appreciative people.

FURTHER NEWS.
Block Island, r. l., Feb. 13.-The
first news of the loss of the Larch-
mont was brought here by small
boat which brought 8 dying men and
IA corpses. The dead perished from
cold.
The collision took place at Q
O'Clock lust night off this coast, and
it is believed that no less than 150
persons perished. Bodies and wreck
age are being washed ashore. Rescue
parties are doing what they can.
The wind, blowing a gale from
the northeast, is supposed to have
caused the collision. The Grew of
the schooner knew nothing of the
steamers fate. The steamer sank
within fifteen minutes after the col
lision. The Larchmont had pas
senger list of $50 and crew of 33.
72 BODIES RECOVERED.
Providence, r. l., Feb. IA
total of 72 bodies have been recov-
cred from the wreck of the Larch-
mont. OF these, % were taken to
Block Island by four schooners,
which had picked them mp floating
out to sea. The estimate of the
dead is still 1S1, only 10 of the 200
on board the steamer having been
saved.
YOUTH MAKES CHARGES.
Fred Hiergesell, aged 18, of New
York, tells direct story, accusing
the captain, and he is corroborated
by others of the saved. Hiergesell
said: "The captain left his steamer
in the very first boat. 1 cannot be
mistaken as to his identity, for saw
him on the Kentucky, and he is the
same man who stepped into the first
boat to leave the sinking vessel.
The second boat was taken posses
sion of by gang of negro walters.
These men seemed to have lost their
heads, and 80 many crowded into the
boat that it capsized as soon as it
struck the water, and l believe all
were lost. / went in the third boat
with FIVE other men,"
WHAT NEGRO WAITER tsAw.
Louis Mcfarland, negro waiter
and member of the crew, confirmed
the story.
"No, all the passengers had not
been taken off before our life boat
cleared the vessel" he said. 81 saw
what appeared to me to be fully one
hundred men andiwomen and chill
dren on the decks, shouting and act
ing like mad. Men and women
came rushing at the captain and
other members of the crew, pleading
to be saved. The officers had to
force them back. The steward,
think it was, told them there was no
need to put on life-preservers, that
they must go back and be quiet and
even ything would be all right.
"Then we cut loose our boat.
When we pushed off, the decks, es-
pecially the hurricane, were crowded.
"The captain said to the purser
that they ought to try and save all
they could. Some one on the boat
said it would be folly to try. We
could hear their yells when the
steamer began to list. The stern
sank first. The captain deliberately
turned his back on the scene. IF
we could only get few of them,'
the captain remarked, as he turned
his face away"

discussed by members of the Seattle
bar. 1t is stated on good authority
that more than dozen bills have been
drafted covering the question in all
of its phases, and that one or more of
them will be presented at the open
ing session of the legislature at Olym-
pia next week. The tradegy of few
days ago in which General Turner
was killed and the trial Of the Thomp-
son boy at Tacoma, have added much
fuel to the fame and greatly stimu-
lated the movement for the enactment
Of drastic laws on the subject Of in
sanity pleas as justification of crime.
This has been discussed by local law
yers and it is their opinion that a
sound and effective remedy can be
found in this way.
A bill has been suggested. the tenor
Of which will be to vest the courts
with power to inflict severe punish
ment in cases where insanity is the
plea set up. 1t is proposed to give
judges the power to sentence a person
accused who pleads insanity without
any further proceedings, and some
lawyers favor the extreme penalty Of
life Imprisonment. 1t is believed
that such severe punishment would
cause men &C used of murder to hest
tate before offering the plea of insani
ty. One thing is certain, that the
legislature will have to deal will
