Samples of alcohol made from saw
dust have been sent to the Depart
ment of Agriculture from one of the
big sawmills where the work is be-
ing done on a commercial scale; that
Is to say, a distilling plant has been
installed which is turning out several
barrels of alcohol daily, though no
figures are available as to the actual
cost of manufacture as compared
with wood alcohol or that from grain.
The interesting point about the saw
dust alcohol is that it is not wood
alcohol, having none Of the proper
ties of that fluid, but is an ethyl al
eohol that cannot be told from that
made from grain. The difference is
that the sawdust alcohol is made
after the sawdust has been treated
with an acid, Transforming it into
dextrose, and is then distilled in the
regular way. If the work can be
done at a profit, and the indications
from the work of the company point
TO this being a fact, it will not only
make valuable by-product out of
the sawdust that has heretofore been
an intolerable nuisance to the saw
mills but it will open up a way to
make alcohol profitably from straw,
cane, corn stalks and almost any
other vegetable refuse.

Complimented.

A few weeks ago a Philadelphia
man was in North Carolina town of
very few inhabitants. Oneday when
he was on the point of making pur-
chase he discovered that he had ex-
hausted his small change. The store
keeper could not 'break" the $40
bill offered him, and the northern
man went out in the main street to
see how he might solve the difficulty.
He asked several persons, but no
one had the requisite amount for the
bill. At last an old, white-haired,
seedy negro came along. In sheer
desperation the Philadelphia man
said:
"Uncle, can you change a $40 bill
for me?"
Uncle" looked dazed for the mo-
ment. Then his shambling figure
Strengthened. With a dofing of the
hat and a bow worthy of Chesterfield,
he replied with dignity:
''No, marse, I can't change no $40
bill; but done 'preciates the compli-
ment jes' the same, sab"

ON SPEEDING EXPRESS.
rlother's Wish That Baby Be Native
American Not Gratified.

DETROIT, April Awhile aMichigan
Central immigrant train was speed
ing on it's way to Windsor a baby boy
was born to Mrs. Mary Rosenbloom,
a Russian Jewish immigrant, on her
way to the United States.
The mother was anxious that the
child be born in the United States,
and the engineer put on full speed
at her request, but the stork took
matters in his own hands, and the
youngest member of the Rosenbloom
family will have to claim the Domin-
ion of Canada as the land of his nat
ivity, though he missed being born
under the Stars and Stripes by only
a few hours.
The little mite of humanity came
into existence near Tilbury, Canada.
One of the Michigan Central sur
geons had been notified in advance
and remained with the mother and
her child until the train arrived at
Windsor.
Members of the train crew con-
tributed overcoats and other parts
of the wardrobe to keep the newly
arrived passenger warm.

Thought 1t Was a Pigs Tail.

A young married couple on Main
street caused quite a commotion the
other night and aroused the whole
household. The young wife was
awakened by her better half grab
bing her hair and giving it terrific
pull which made it appear that he
had either gone daft or had become
a second Blue Beard. She set up a
howl and called for help. Other
members of the family rushed to her
rescue, but before they could take
steps to release the grip the sleeping
spouse had on the good wife's hair he
awoke. He explained that he had
been chasing a pig; that the pig ran
in a hole and he grabbed him by the
tail and was pulling with all his
might to keep his pigship from escap-
ing. It was a plausible explanation,
but it is said the young wifeis not so
sure about it being a true one. She
has been having visions of Blue Beard
ever since the occurrence.-Reids-
vile Review.

A Darlington jury gave a verdict
of $40, 900 damages for the death of
a young white man who was riding
en- the top of a caboose of freight
train. He was passenger on the
train, and should have been inside,
where he would not have been hurt
when the car was derailed. The YER
dict was a most outrageous one, and
it is surprising that it was not set
aside by the presiding judge. We
believe the railroads should be held
to a strict accountability for their
acts, but they should be dealt justly
with, and it seems clear that in this
ease the mans death was brought
about by his own act.

The Spartanburg Journal says
country newspaper editors should
take more interest in writing editor
ials and less in kicking a job press,
which boy at a SIPS week could
do as well. With an experience Of
about twenty years or more in the
country newspaper business, wehave
never been able to get hold of one Of
those SIPS a week boys. If the
Journal has any up its way, we would
be glad if they would send them
down to us. Our contemporary talks
foolBhness, for it ought to know that
you can't hire a boy at any such
price.

Union Meeting.

The union meeting Of the second
division of the Barnwell Baptist As
sociation met with Colston Branch
church on Saturday befyre the 5th
Sunday in March, 1907, and was
opened with prayer by Bro. j. M.
Zeigler.
The Introductory sermon was
preached by Rev. w. G. Britton,
after which the union was called to
order by the moderator, Bro. }. B.
Hunter. The names of the churches
were then called and the delegates
enrolled. The union now being or
ganized, it was unanimously agreed
that Rev. w. G. Britton, the col
porter of the association, be allowed
to present the claims of his books,
which he ably did in short address.
The usual committees were then ap-
pointed, andit was moved and carried
that we adjourn one hour for dinner.
After partaking of a regular picnic
dinner, which was served by the COL
ston Branch sisters, we returned to
the church, and after song by the
choir and prayer by Rev. w. G. Brit
ton, the union was called to order by
the moderator and the program of
the union was taken up.
The first topic, "The church in
evangelism" was taken up and very
ably discussed by Revs. H. J. Snider
and w. G. Britton, Joe B. Gillian, j.
C. Mcmillan, and w. H. Collins. It
was unanimously agreed that we pass
this topic over and take up the next
on the program. Topic No. 2, "Our
Deficiencies in Missions" was taken
up and very intelligently discussed
by Rev. w. G. Britton, J. B. All, Joe
B. Gillian, and Rev. H. J. Snider.
Moved and carried that we pass this
topic over.
Committee on time and place made
it's report, which was adopted. Place:
Springtown on Saturday before the
5th Sunday in June, 1907. /
Sunday morning, after a song by
the choir and prayer by Rev. W. G.
Britton, this gentleman addressed
the Sunday-school in a very able
manner. The missionary sermon
was then preached by Rev. H. j.
Snider, after which a collection was
taken up for State missions which
amounted to $4.6S.

Off the Track.

The first morning the new teacher
was at the village school he taught a
lesson in mental arithmetic and gave
the following example:
IF had seven oranges and eleven
more are given me, then l give five
of them to friend, how many Or
anges have left?"
The new teacher could not under
stand the puzzled expression of the
children's faces or why he received
no answer, but thinking they must
be rather dull, repeated the question.
After little silence a small hand
was raised.
"Well, little boy, how many are
left?'
*tPlease sir" timidly replied the
boy, :'we always do our sums with
apples"

Carlos C. Parler, who was charged
with the killing of. William J. Harley
at Harleyville, Dorchester county,
some months ago was acquitted in
the court of general sessions at St.
Georges. The case has created con-
siderable interest on account of the
circumstances surrounding the kill
ing and during the progress Of the
trial the court room was filled to
overfowing. The verdict of the
jury is universally approved through
out the county, as Harley was shot
while he was attempted to forcibly
enter the residence of a peaceful, law
abiding citizen, after he had been re-
peatedly warned not to come in and
the plea of self-defense, interposed
by the defendants attorneys, was es-
tablished beyond question.
