a dispatch from Douglasville, Ca,
says: People for miles around here
Saturday were alarmed by the shock
from the fall of large meteor W hich
struck the ground with enough force
to be felt within a radius Of fifteen
miles. The crash came at about
4.30, and within few minutes after
ward telephone messages were re-
ceived from several places twelve and
fifteen miles away asking what was
the cause Of 1t. Many thought a
boiler Of some kind had exploded,
but several citizens saw large streaks
Of light across the heavens at the
same time Of the explosion and say
that it was large meteor struck the
ground.
The meteor struck the ground
three miles south of Kingston and
buried deep in the earth, leaving a
hole as large as a dwelling house.
Hundreds of people visited the scene
Sunday.

SOME FACTS ABOUT FAIR WEEK.
Big Air Ship Will BE There--seyen
Brass Bands.

The people of South Carolina will
be treated Fair Week to an attrac-
tion which will prove instructive as
well as interesting. President John
G. Morley has arranged to have the
great Stroebel air ship at the fair
gro inds this year. There will be two
ascensions each day. There will be
no extra charge for this great attrac-
tion. 1t will be worth the trip to
Columbia to see this wonderful air
ship flying about. But this is not
all in the way of improved attrac-
tions this year. Secretary A. W.
Love has been buster than ever Of
late and has contracted for the best
exhibits ever seen in this part OF the
South.
Clemson Cadets at Fair.
One of the greatest attractions at
the fair this year, and certainly one
most dear to the hearts Of the peo-
pie throughout South Carolina, will
be the camp of the Clemson cadets.
The entire corps of cadets will be
brought down from Clemson and
they will camp at the fair grounds
through the whole week. There will
be hundreds and hundreds Of fond
parents and eager sweethearts in
Columbia to see this great attrac-
ton.
Military and Bands.
Arrangements are being made to
have grand military day during Fair
Week. One Of the biggest features
of this day will be the fact that there
will be seven good brass bands in
Columbia at this time.
Cheap Railroad Rates.
All Of the railroads have arranged
cheap round trip tickets for Fair
Week at Columbia, October 26th to
the 3Oth. There will be many spe-
cial trains running into Columbia for
the big days, especially for the foot
ball games and races Wednesday and
Thursday.

SOME IMPRESSIONS OF TEXAS.
South Carolinian, After 30 Years in
Texas, Maites Some Observations.


October 17.-Editor Keowee Cou-
rier: This great State may be di-
vided into three great strips of terri
tory, namely, from the east boun-
Diary line to the Trinity river, and
from said river to the Brazos river,
and from the Brazos to the west
boundary line, or East, Middle and
West Texas.
The land in East Texas is sandy,
some fertile and a great deal poor.
\ The soil generally is shallow, under
laid with clay. Great pine forests are
found in this region, and numbering
is a great industry here. 1t Is also
noted for its truck growing and fruit
raising. 1t is a well watered coun-
try, but the streams are generally
sluggish, and their bottoms contain
many stagnant sloughs and ponds !;
hence there are great many Ills,
such as malarial fevers, chills and
fever and black jaundice, caused
thereby.
The people are mostly energetic,
honest apd clever. and the society is
hard to be excelled.
Middle Texas, as stated, comprises
that portion lying between Trinity
and Brazos rivers. The soil is deep
and very fertile, the depth of the
soil ranging from one and half to
nine feet. This is the great Black
Land belt Of Texas, and the use Of
fertilizers is almost unknown. 1t
Is especially adapted to cotton and
corn, but will produce other things.
The possibilities Of this portion of
Texas in the production of cotton
are very great.
Wide expanses of prairie greet the
eyes and grandeur and sublimity are
impressed upon us as we view the
landscape. These prairies have vast
stretches Of almost level lands, yet
some of the tracts are undulating.
1t is broken here and yonder by
creeks and ravines. The streams are
for the most part swift, and have
comparatively little bottoms. There
Is not much stagnant water in and
about these streams. Therefore the
health Of the country is generally
good, except when the rainfall is ex.
cessive and continuous.
The people Of Middle Texas are
also clever, energetic and progressive
and extremely Industrious, but the
society varies some from that of
East Texas. They 10 not visit much
except among relatives, but when in
and about their homes you meet with
all due respect, courtesy and hospi-
taiity. They are also generous and
obliging, ever ready to minister to
the wants of their fellowman.
West Texas varies in its surface,
the eastern portion being somewhat
mountainous and broken by rivers
and creeks, but the western portion
is vast stretch Of almost treeless
prairies, and 1t Is sparsely settled,
and is very healthy, there being no
local cause for sickness. The streams
in the mountainous districts are very
rapid, and the land, being underlaid
by lime rock, all streams are very
clear. | have seen those streams
after a heavy rainfall so clear that
you could distinctly see the bed of
the stream one and half to two
feet. This is a semi-arid country,
subject to sandstorms and drouths.
The people in society correspond well
to those of Middle Texas.

Stomach troubles would more
quickly disappear If the idea Of treat
ing the cause, rather than the effect,
would come into practice. A tiny,
inside, hidden nerve, says DR.. Shoop,
governs and gives strength to the
stomach. A branch also goes to the
heart, and one to the kidneys. When
these "inside nerves., fail, then the
organs must falter. DR.. Shoop's Re-
storative is directed specifically to
these failing nerves. Within 4S
hours after starting the Restorative
treatment patients say they realize q
gain. Sold by j. w. Bell.

RELIEF FOR THE UNFORTUNATE.
Where the United States Is Behind
European Countries.

The plan for establishing a state
labor colony incidentally calls atten-
ton to t. hackwardness of the new
world in two important matters, the
relief Of honest men out Of employ
ment and the suppression of Migrants.
Save for the work done chiefly by pri-
vate organizations, in a few large
cities, there would be absolutely moth
ing in the United States which a
Swiss, German or Dutch charity work
er might compare to the labor colonies
of his native land Even a French.
men, whose country is overrun by
vagabonds, can point with pride to
relief measures which have already
done much TO reduce the suffering
due to the enforced continuous idle
ness of from 6.5 per cent to seven
per cent Of all workingmen. The
idea of allotting small gardens to men
out of WORK was conceived and put
into practice by Gen. van den Bosch in
Holland as far back as 1918; today
more than 1000 poor families are thus
supported in the little kingdom. The
environs Of Paris are dotted with some
1000 plots assigned by the Workmen's
Garden Society TO the unemployed,
either gratis or at nominal cost.

THE LANGUAGE" OF ANIMALS
Various Cries and Calls Not the Me.
dunn of Communication.

Huxley thought that because Of the
absence of language the brutes can
have no trains of thoughts, but only
trains of feeling, and this is the opin-
ion of most comparative psychologists.
| am myself quite ready TO admit that
the lower animals come as near to
reasoning as they come to having
language. Their various cries and
calls-the call to the mate, of alarm,
of pain, of joy-do serve as the me-
dunn of some sort of communication
but they do not stand for ideas or
mental concepts any more than the
various cries of child do They are
the result of simple reactions to cut
ward objects or to inward wants. and
do not imply any mental process what
ever. grown person may utter
cry of pain or fear or pleasure with
mind utterly blank of any ideas. Once
on moonlight night | lay in wait for
some boy poachers in my vineyard.
AS | suddenly rose up, clad in a long
black coat, and rushed for one and

frightened out of his wits. For the
moment he was simply an unreasoning

A Road to Happiness.

1t is not at all difficult to believe
that II is easier to give it If it is
the English girl, inasmuch as the for.
mer always knows exactly what she
wants. But fact which must not be
lost sight of is that the American girl
is admittedly entitled to demand what
she wants, while she gets it because
the American husband takes the view
that 1t is easier TO give 1t If 1t is
wiser to refuse. The English girl, as
rule, loses her capacity for knowing
exactly what she wants for the simple
reason that she is aware that greater
happiness lies in dismissing vain de
sires from her mind.--Lady's Pic.
