Voices In Cold Storage.

The Congressional library at Wash
ington will install a department where
phonographic records Of speeches OF
statesmen and distinguished persons
from all parts Of the world may be pre-
served for the benefit Of future genera
tons, says the Rochester On. ~ Dem
ocrat and Chronicle. The government
recently received a record containing
an address made by the emperor Of
Germany, and this led to the sugges-
ton that the utterances Of other states
men might be preserved in the same
way. It is said that the French and
Australian governments have for some
time been filing away records OF the
famous voices Of the stage for the ben
eft Of posterity, and the Smithsonian
institution has some records OF Indian
speech. If such records prove perma-
nent they will undoubtedly be highly
priced two or three hundred years from
now and will have a linguistic value
besides, as showing the changes In
spoken language that are constantly
taking place.

Electrician Believes He Can Hear SOAR
Storms Over the Wire.
DR.. John A. Brashear, the astrono-
mer, said the other evening, according
to a special dispatch from Pittsburg to
tie Philadelphia Press, that Sir VIII
liam n. Preece, the great English elec-
trician, recently told him that he be-
lieyed he had heard more than one
solar storm in the telephone. He said
he knew there was some unusual mag
netic disturbances causing the trouble
when he was testing some telephones
In his laboratory.
"And why not?'' asks DR.. Brashear.
1--WE all know what difficulty we have
in sending or securing messages when
there is much induction, and in the case
Of magnetic storms, induced by solar
disturbances, they certainly would al
feet the telephone service.
During the disturbances following
the last great sun spot received let
ters from all over the country giving
accounts of the difficulties in transmit
ting messages.
with all this evidence, may it not be
quite within the range Of possibility
nav, probability that Sir William
Preece could hear the solar lombard
ment in the receiver of his telephone,
though the message was sent 93,OOO,OOO
miles by wireless"

RELIGIOUS Meetings.

]. H. Ralstin's band of religious
workers are in the city this week.
There are eight people in the party,
among them several women, all of
whom play on some musical instru-
ment or sing. They wear uniform
like the Salvation army workers, and
carry brass band. Meetings have
been held in the opera house and on
the streets. They request the publ
cation of the following:
tRevival meeting on street every
evening at seven o'clock, until next
Monday. All invited. For some reas-
on the people seem reluctant about
going to the opera house, so we will
continue our meeting on the street.
We would rather have you comfort
ably seated, but perhaps you prefer
all the cool air you can get to good
seat. We do not like to talk to empty
benches and pay rent for a house
that is not filled, so come to the
open air. We had a grand revival at
Hampton in the open air, in front of
the dispensary and the dancing pa
vilion. We can have one here. Come
out and help US. Several have been
converted, and more are seeking
something BETTER
They have the following endorse
ment, dated at Hampton, S. c., July
3rd, 1907: eve believe that Capt.
Ralstin and his missionary band are
doing a good work in the State, and
that he has done good work in this
community. His work has been high
ly commented on by the most influ-
ential people of this town" Signed

Bev. Billings Denies Charges.

The following communication ap-
peared in the Augusta Chronicle OF
yesterdays date.
"On June % and "a dispatches were
given to the press to the effect that |
had been expelled from the Black
vile, S. c., Baptist church on account
of letters containing expressions of
endearment for a house-maid who
had formerly served in our home. A
further statement to the affect that
I had forsaken my wife and child
and gone away with this servant was
made. o.. :.
II want to say by way of explana-
ton for my silence that for the first
10days after these dispatches appear
ed l was not in a physical nor mental
condition to make the statement l
wish to make. Besides, friends as
we'll as myself, thought a statement
which would finally be made by a
body of brethren would be more sat-
isfactory to the general public. But
finding that many of my friends are
expecting a statement from me and
are waiting impatiently for it, l wish
to declare:
"First. That the letters in question
were not written by me; neither have
l been allowed the privilege Of seeing
them.
Second. The statement with
reference to the relations of endear-
ment existing between me and the
servant in question are libelous.
Third. At the time that the dis
patch went out l had not only not
forsaken my family, but was at home
with them. This the author certain
ly must have known.
1T is true upon the evidence con-
tanned upon those letters / was ex-
cluded from the church, but had
absolutely no opportunity to defend
myself or to deny the authorship OF
them, since I was preaching for a
friend in Augusta and did not reach
home until 5 o'clock in the afternoon
of that day.
''This is my final statement until a
body of reputable brethren hear the
case and their findings made public.

Didn't Run up Lanterns.

Attorney General Jackson, of New
York, was criticising in Albany a
certain excuse that had been offered
him.
'sIt was a slim excuse" he said.
tsIt reminds me of the excuse of the
lightning rod agent.
s'In the days when all the world
swore by lightning rods, a farmer
had two costly ones put on a new
barn. But only a week or two later
there came violent thunder storm,
the barn was struck, and in a few
hours all that remained of it was a
heap of charred black refuse.
& t'Next day the farmer sought out
the lightning rod agent.
"'Fine lightning rods yousold me!
he shouted. Here's my new barn
been struck and burned to ashes!'
What?' said the agent. Struck
by lightning?'
Yes, sir; by lightning
In the day timer
No; at night. Last night
The agents puzzled froWn relaxed
a little.
"tAh,' he said it was dark night,
wasn't it?'
"tOf course, it was,' said the far
mer. 1T was pitch dark
"tWere the lanterns burning.
"'What lanterns?'
s'The agent looked amazed, in
credulous.
"'Why,' he said, you don't mean
to tell me that you didn't run up
lanterns on the rods on dark nights?'

1'illman Talks In Augusta.

Hon. B. R. Tillman, United States
senator from South Carolina, was in
Augusta yesterday. He is on his
way west and again on a lecturing
tour. Mrs. Tillman is with him. Mr..
Tillman is looking very well-better
than for years. But he is the same
old democratic Tillman. plain OF
speech, free of manner, with a sharp
word and pleasant word.
Senator" reporter asked him.
what will be the effect of Georgia
prohibition on South Carolina. Does
it follow that Carolina will put on
State prohibition
''You know what it means when
Georgia puts on State prohibition.
Blind tigers, my boy; blind tigers"
s'Will Carolina follow Georgia with
State prohibition?"
Carolina is bent towards prohibl-
ton of her own motion. Independ-
emily of Georgia action, the people
are planning prohibition. They are
disguised with county local option
and the dispensary. Not because of
the want of the dispensary plan. But
the State could not successfully
watch one board of control. Then
thirty boards of control can not be
watched. They have scattered the
stealing, and the people are not going
to stand for either centralized or
scattering stealing. They are going
to put on prohibition"
''The Dolliver incident, Senator.
What was there in it?"
'Space rates of some of your
newspaper fellows. I lectured in
Jackson one night. The third night
after Senator Dolliver lectured there.
Some say he ripped me up the back
and picked out Jail as my proper
habitat. Others say he differed from
me, firmly and respectfully. All my
information is from the newspapers,
since the date of Senator Dolliver' S
speech l have not seen him. Nor
have Ihad communication with him. "

WHY LOVERS LOVE.
Census Shows That Eyes, Hair, Size.
Even Feet, Are Chief Attractions.


Precisely what it is-what attribute
or physical characteristic-in the youth
or maiden, the man or woman. that
most attracts one Of the opposite sex,
is a problem Of which DR.. g. Stanley
Hail. professor Of psychology in and
president Of Clark university, WorceS-
ter. Mass, has set out to find the solu-
ton. says a Boston special to the New
York World. To this end he has taken
a census Of young lovers, with view
to learning what in each case has most
endeared to him or her the particular
object Of their affection.
It was DR.. Hall who recently de-
clared SO per cent Of college women
failed to marry, thus contributing TO
race suicide. The complete result Of
this census Of lovers Dr.. Hall has not
yet given to the public, but he has
made known an abstract Of what he
has learned. With hundreds Of lovers
heard from DR.. Hall states that the
characteristics specified by them are in
the order of their frequency as follows:
Eyes, hair, size or stature, feet,
brows, complexion, cheeks, form OF
head, throat, ears, chin, hands, neck'
nose, finger nails and contour Of face.
Which is to say that more Of those
lovers interrogated have found the
loved ones eyes or hair the chief at
traction than anything else.
The women replying to DR.. Hairs
questions have also specified these
charms in the men they loved best:
Regular teeth, broad shoulders and
white teeth, and most popular among
the men have been long lashes and
arched brows.
According to some Of those replying,
a retrousse nose, freckles and a long
neck have been the chief charms.
The voice cuts an important figure
among the charms. With some it Is
a high voice, with others, low voice.
Even a lisp has been stated as
charm. Laughter, carriage, gait, ges-
ture, movements Of the eye, pose OF
head and shoulders have also been
specified in the replies.

CROWDS GOING
into RAWHIDE
UNANIMOUS OPINION THAT THE
CAMP WILL BE GREAT
PRODUCER.

That Rawhide is abustle with
"rustling" people is being o and
more evidenced every day by the
men coming out of the camp, and by
those who are going in. The latest
boomer for the district is j. Holman
Buck, the editor of the Rawhide
Rustler. Mr.. Buck is the editor of
the Western Nevada Miner, and sev-
eral other papers in this section of
the country. He is a rustler himself
and is the first to get into any new
camp within a radius of fifty miles
of Nina, where he makes his head
quarters. He says that Rawhide
beats any camp that he has yet To-
Gated in.
Crowds are going in daily to
Rawhide from Nina and Luning,''
said Mr.. Buck" and those who come
back are unanimous in their opinion
that it is going to be the greatest
camp in the state. The greatest
strike yet made there was made on
the lease of Joe Alexander, Fred
Hughes, Ed Keissling and George
Andrews. They got very neal the
pure quill there, for the gold goes as
high as 1925 a pound. Gold has
been taken out. some of which is as
big as the joint of your thumb and
as heavy as a twenty dollar piece.
The lease which is on the Roseberry
group has been bonded by Hayes and
Monnette for $4,000. The shaft is
down fifty feet and they are going
after the big lodges. the groupings OF
which appear on the surface.
There are a number of leases
from which they are taking shipping
ore. A rich streak was struck last
week on the lease of E. j. Cotter and
associates on the Van Dorm property.
The streak was about an inch wide,
and it is claimed that the ore went
$25 a pound. The wage scale for
miners is s. a day for the minimum;
for shaft work. $3.50. and so cents
additional for machine work"
