A soldier Of Bates division of the

thrown away his gun and accouter-

his legs and general physique, he thus

Water on Gibraltar.

On the eastern side Of the rock OF
Gibraltar there is curious looking
white patch which led an American
tourist to ask whether the rock was
being armor plated. 1t is really "A
catchment for rainwater to increase

enrichment covers ten acres. 1t Is made
of galvanized corrugated iron fixed to
piles driven deep into the sandy slopes

What the South Can Duplicate.


Manufacturers Record, Baltimore
Each setting sun sees the South
richer by over S,3000,000 in actual
wealth, but even this is not more i'm
pOrtant than the accumulation of
experience in the utilization of her
resources which is now in progress
and the awakening of the entire
country to the fact that in the South
is to center the mightiest industrial
and commercial forces of the world
This section can duplicate the coal
and iron and steel industry OF the
North and West; it can duplicate the
cOtton-spinning interests of the world,
it can duplicate the lumber and wood
working interests of the entire coun-
try; it can duplicate the oil trade Of
America, ifnot the worlds; it can con-
tinue to monopolize the worlds cot
tor production; it can produce all the
rice needed in America, nearly all the
tobacco and much of the sugar; it can
duplicate ali of the citrus fruit and
trucking industry of the country; it
can double its present crop; of $780,
100000 bushels, double and quad
ripple its cotton crop, duplicate
through its great rivers and splendid
harbors the coastwise and foreign
4rade OF the country. 1t can and will
do all these things and even then
not have reached the limit of its

A Famous Pipe.

One of the most cherished posses
sions of the fame of General w. B.
Curtis who commanded brigade in
the army of West Virginia, is a
handsome pipe, made out of a limb
which was wrenched from the IA
nous apple tree at Appomatox be-
meath which General Lee Surrender
ed the forces of the Confederacy to
Grant. The pipe was carved by a
Pennsylvania of General Curtis's
command. The apple tree was soon
all taken for relics such as this ia
NOUS pipe, and when, in 1866, the
war department was placing tablets
marking the important spots around
old Appomatox court house they
found that soldiers in securing pieces
of the tree had even dug down, so
as to secure all of the roots, and so
a tablet had to be placed, reading,
"Near this spot stood the apple tree
under which General Robert E. Lee
rested while awaiting the return of
a flag of truce sent by him to Gen.
eral u. S. Grant on the morning Of
April 9, 1866" Another heirloom
of General Curtis is the saddle and
bride he used when he rode over
the Confederate breastworks at the
battle of Newmarket. Washington

Negro Boy Cremated.

BENNETTsvILLE, Sept. 5.-A hor-
rible accident occurred at Marlboro,
six miles southeast of Bennettsville,
hate yesterday afternoon when John
Hollis, a young negro boy, was Gre
mated. Hollis and another boy were
playing on a pile of sawdust which
had accumulated for years and with
a base covering about one acre rose
in the shape of a pyramid so feet
high. The little darkeys were near the
TOP of the pyramid and Hollis made a
leap in the sawdust and disappeared
from sight. His body had broken
the crust above a small fire which
had doubtless been burning for a
year or more and he plunged into the
cavern of fire. 1t is a matter of al
most impossibility to remove the i'm
mense pile of sawdust and even if
thatwer done the ashes of the lit
tie negro could not be secured.

Advertising as an investment,

There are in every community bus
mess men who think that taking ad-
vertising spaceis an act of patronism,
of condescension towards a. news
paper. They do not realize nor take
into consideration, that it is strictly a
business proposition, and that they
will be materially benefited thereby.
Again, some who 60 at advertising
spasmodically get discouraged be-
cause they do not have regular av-
lanche ofreturns within short while,
and then declare that advertising is a
humbug. The successful business
man advertises regularly, changes
copy often enough to keep hepublic
looking out for bargains, and always
puts in an ad that's catchy and worth
reading.

William Furgess, a colored boy Of
fourteen years, is in the county jail
charged with criminal assault early
Saturday morning upon Annie Rice,
the fve-year-old daughter of Carrie
Rice, a colored washerwoman.
Complaint was made to the police
at 8 o'clock Saturday morning, by
the Rice woman, that the Furgess
boy had entered her home near the
Palmetto mills in her absence, and,
finding the child Annie, alone, forced
her to his will, making his escape
shortly before the mother returned.
Policeman Morgan was detailed on
the case and within the hour caught
Furgess among the cabins on Wheel
er's Hill. The youthful prisoner
was sent up town in the police pa
troll wagon, but remained in the sta
ton only few minutes, being turn
ed over to Sheriff Coleman and at
his direction removed to the county
Jail.
The victim is reported to be seri-
ously injured.-Columbia Record.

to certify the record in the Kershaw

the Supreme Court for review of the
questions involved. The writ is made
returnable on the 18th inst. The
proceedings of this case are being
watched with interest. The anti-dis-
pensary element are determined to
push the matter to the very limit of
the law for they feel that after as
fair an election as was held the wishes
of the decisive majority Of the peo-
pie should prevail.

There is no question but that cot
ton has gone backward in the last
few weeks, and the crop will not be
near so large as was thought some
time ago. We do not expect the
yield in this section to be much if any
larger than last year. The specula-
tors are trying to force down the
price, but the farmers should stand
firm. They will get good prices for
their cotton if they will not rush it
on the market, but it is certain that
prices will not advance if the receipts
are heavy.

The fact that the White House is
equipped with a service of solid gold
plate for use on state occasions is not
talked about too loudly, as it seems.
somehow, to jar on democratic sim
plicity. But the fact that the service
is there is recalled by the fact that it
needs refurbishing, and jewelers.
from New York, Baltimore and Phila-
delphia are bidding for the work.
The plate was bought during the Van
Buren administration. 1t is made
up of four large candelabra, five fruit
dishes, and eight table mirrors which
are so fashioned that they can be
formed into one large centerpiece.
It is claimed that this service of
plate is one of the handsomest in
the world, and impresses even those
diplomats who have seen the plate of
the wealthiest European courts. The
value of the White House plate is snot
generally known. n.-Washington Her

FIND OPPOSITION
TO incorporation
IngIewood Not Likely to Become a

Inglewood is meeting with strong
opposition to the plan of some of the
residents for Incorporating the town.

ttves of the Freeman ranch of HOO
acres and having five voters, appeared
before the board of supervisors to ask
that the Freeman ranch be left out of
the proposed city, and there was also
filed with the supervisors a petition
signed by seventy residents, asking
that another big portion of the terri
tory intended to be included be left out.
Should these two petitions be grant
ed only 1900 acres of the original 5000
acres would remain, and as a result
further hearing was postponed until
April 2. In the meantime the super
visors will visit the place in a body to
inspect the situation.

MUNICIPAL DAIRY
HIS SUGGESTION
Citizen Tells the Board of Health That
Pure Milk Gould Be Produced
Cheaper Than the Ar
ticle Now Sold

The board of health is in receopt of
citizen. E. A. Johnson, suggesting that
it is the duty of the city to establish
model dairy farm and furnish pure
milk to the residents of Los Angeles.
He declares that pure milk could be
sold at less than half what it is now
sold for. and incidentally scores the Los
Angeles dairymen for their methods of
doing business, which, he says, in
clude the addition of poisonous pre-
servatives to their product before it
reaches the customers.
The communication follows:
ITO the Honorable Board of Health:
I'm view of the disclosures made a
few days ago regarding Los Angeles
dairies is it not time that drastic
measures were taken to provide the
citizens of this city with pure milk?
"Times without number it has been
proven that regulation of dairies is in-
possible. Filth, almost beyond ones
imagination, exists in many of the
dairies. Preservatives are used-poi-
son, if you please-by even the best
regulated concerns. Water is added to
make the business profitable, and these
mixtures are retailed at 10 cents
quart as pure milk.
"Why not have the city own one
large dairy, furnish absolutely pure
milk and deliver it to customers at one
half or even less than the present
price?
"Ihere are now forty or fifty dairies.
Each dairy owns wagons, employs
drivers, eXpends a large amount for
advertising, ETC., ETC., which expense
would be, reduced to a minimum if the
dairy was owned by the city.
"A model dairy, large enough to sup
ply all the milk necessary, would send
it's product to headquarters night and
morning in the city. This milk depot
would be centrally located, and from
there the wagons would deliver pure
no object in diluting the milk. There
would be no object in using pre-
servatives There could not be and

the addition in the federal legislature
to our representation. Two additional
senators, which would result from the
creation of a new state, would ma
terially strengthen our resources and
consideration that we are Justly en-
titled to and which our coast demands.
There Is a wide difference between
climatic and soil conditions of the two
sections of the state, and the economic
needs and desires of the people of these
sections must necessarily be widely diff
ferent.
IF each section had its separate
government there would be an end Of
the conflict of interests that too fro
quently Is asserted, and each would
be left free to develop its opportunities
to best advantage, at the same time
working harmoniously for the state as
a whole"
