Nitrate Of Soda .,..;:s Cows.

Mr.. a. Lee Scruggs, treasurer OF
Fairfield county. lost nine cows Friday
evening in a very unusual manner.
Mr.. Scruggs had been putting out nj
trate OF soda that day and was wash
Ing the sacks when a heavy rain came
up. He went to the house, leaving
the water in which he had washed
the sacks I'm the tubs. When his
cows came they drank freely OF this
water. The next morning there were
dead and by noon six more had died.
These nine COWS were easily worth
about $3.50.
Mr.. Scruggs' misfortune should be
an example To others to be careful
with their nitrate of soda. which
seems to be poisonous.-Winnsbo

and rubbed the soles of his feet with
bar Of iron white hot, held the iron
in his hands and rubbed his tongue
with it several times.
Martinez never made a cent out of
his performances, Notwithstanding
he received high offers from amuse-
ment managers. He gargled his
throat with concentrated sulphuric
and nitrous acids without the small
est injury or discoloration of the skin;
the nitrous acid changed the cuticle
to yellow color. With the acids in
this state he rubbed his hands and
arms. Three glasses Of pure water
were brought to him. In one a few
drops of sulphuric acid were infused.
In another pretty large quantity Of
sea salt, the third contained only wa

and was able to tell te difference be-

DARK CORNER.

Dark Corner, July 1--we are
| surely having some warm weather
about this time. We have had fine
rains since my last, and corn seems
20 be doing fairly well, though it is
rather small for the time of year.
Cotton generally looks yellow and
some of the leaves are red and fall
ing off. while others are brown spot
ted; all of which, l think, is caused
time.
There Is one of the largest peach
crops In this section that l have ever
seen, / believe. The trees are break
ing down with them. But they are
small and wormy.
Mrs. S. c. Kolb still keeps very
sick; no better at last accounts.
Miss Sallie Johnston Is improving,
a little at least.
Mrs. w. j. Ardis and Gus Weeks
have been sick, but are some better
today-able to be out again.
Politics Is still cool hereabouts. No
candidate has called on me as yet,
and they need not come for If am
going to vote for a man I will vote
for him whether see him or not.
John Ardis attended a shindig at
Mrs. Laura A. Ardis'. near Paxvire,
last Friday night.
John Ards and Dud Weeks visited
at Mr.. Joe L. Eartlett's last night.
Well, suppose we will have to
take Bill for the next president of

though. Bryan must be like John
Bunyan said, twice or thrice you fail,
try, try, try again; time will surely

hope We will be rewarded this time

The Democratic primary to
nominate candidate for Cover
nor of Tennessee was one of the
most exciting and bitterly fought
political battles that any State
has experienced for a number of
years. There were only two can
didates, Gov. Patterson, who
stood for local option, and ex-
U. S. Senator Carmack, who adj
vocated straight prohibition for
the entire State. Gov. Patter-
son won by nearly ten thousand
which shows that the people of
the respective districts believe in
the principle of local option
rather than prohibition for the
entire Commonwealth. The cit
les contributed the big majority
for Gov. Patterson while the
country Democracy stood closely
by Senator. Carmack.
