NEW POST OFFICE BUILDING.
Letter to Congressman Aiken-In-
spector to Come as Soon as
Possible.

In regard to the new post Office
building which has been granted 10
Newberrv and the selection Of the
site for which bids were submitted
some time ago, it was stated by the
correspondent of the News and Cour-
ier from Washington that l. was pro-
bable that an agent Of the govern
ment would be here by the 9TH Of
this month to inspect The various
sites which have been submitted. Con-
gresham Aiken wrote the depart
ment in Washington sometime ago
making inquire as to when it was
probable an agent would come to in
spect the different sites proposed. Tn
reply to that letter Mr.. Aiken recciv-
ed the following letter. It seems that
the last congress granted so many
new government buildings that the
force at the disposal of the depart
me1rt is unable to get around in very
great haste.
Treasury Department,
Washington, Sept. 19, 1908.
Hon. Wyatt Aiken,
Abbeville, S. c.
Sir:
This department has the honor to
acknowledge receipt Of your letter of
the 18th instant. in which you ask to
be Informed when an agent Of the de-
partment will be sent to Abbeville
and Newberry, South Carolina, for
the purpose Of examining and report.
ing the properties offered for FEEDER
al building sites at those places.
In reply, you are informed that
because of the exceptionally large
number Of sites authorized to be ac-
quired under the provisions of the
public building Act which became
law on May 80, 1908, it has not
been possible to take up the examina-
ton Of properties for sites in all To-,
calities at as early date as the de-
partment would have wished. Sites
in more remote States have been ex-
amined first, and as the agents finish
those States, they will take up the
States nearer by. The department has
only limited number Of agents who
have had experience in this work and
will take up the Abbeville and New
berry cases at the earliest practicable
date.
Respectfully,
-(Signed) L. A. Coolidge,
Acting Secretary.

Large Sweet Potatoes.

Mr.. E. E. Sigh, of Slighs, in this
county, sends the editor Of The Her.
aid and News by mail a sweet potato
that weighs three and one half
pounds. He writes: eff you wish a
large one have a car placed at
Slighs.' This one is large enough.
1t looks as if it were Of the yellow
yam variety.
1t will take olnv a few of this
size to make a bushel. The editor
thanks Nr. Sigh for the potato and
it is the largest we ever saw, but feor
our own use we prefer the smaller
variety.

SHE LEAVES WITH CHILD.
Mrs. Lake Leaves Her Husband
Takes Child-Is Arrested in
Columbia.

In an issue of a few days ago men
ton was made Of the hearing before
Chief Justice Pope as to the custody
Of the small child Of Nh. and Mrs.
Robert Lake, the father and mother
having separated, and each Of them
seeking the possession of the child.
At the hearing an apparent reconcile
alton was effected between the hus-
band and wife, and they undertook
again to live together.
But their domestic life did not seem
to improve any. Some differences
seemed to exist which could not be
fully overcome. At last Mr.. and Mrs.
Lake agreed that they could get along
better living in some other town than
Newberry, so arrangements we're made
for them to leave yesterday morning
for Anderson. Lake sold several ar
ticles Of furniture, and got together
something like $1,000 in cash. Wed
nesday night very early husband and
wife retired, both seeming happy and
contented, expecting to get up early
the following morning to start on
their journey. Their little boy was
in the bed with them, and in the
pocket Of Lakes trousers lay the
money to take his wife, his child and
himself away from the scenes Of their
unpleasant differences.
But rather good looking woman,
accompanied by a child, boarded the
Southern passenger train that night
about o'clock. A couple of Lakes
friends recognized in th0& she wife
and baby Of their friend. They went
to the house where the Lakes had
been living and awoke Lake. Mrs.
Lake and the baby were not there.
Lake said all of his money except
fifty cents was also gone, as we'll as
new suit case and revolver. Lake
complained that he felt dazed, and
stated that he felt as if he had been
under the influence of some drug.
AS soon as the young man could
get before Magistrate Blease he
caused warrant to be issued for his
departing wife, charging her with
grand larceny. Chief Of Police
Adams telephoned then police head
quarters at Columbia to meet the
train and arrest the woman if she was
on. It was not long before he receiv-
ed information that Mrs. Lake was
in custody, and that the baby, money,
pistol and suit case were found with
her. /
Chief Adams went to Columbia yes
terday morning. returning yesterday
afternoon with Mrs. Lake. The case
will be handled by Magistrate Blease.=
Lake has possession of the child,
Judge Pope having issued an order
awarding him its custody. The young
man says he swill not attempt to live
with his wife any longer.

WHAT BLOWING
OUT" A BLAST
FURNACE MEANS
Costs Close to $4,000 and
Means Fully a Month of Idle
ness for Operatives.
New York Journal of Commerce
and Commercial Bulletin.

or late the news tickers have fire.
quently the blowing out"
Of blast furnaces. The stock market
interpreted that to mean that output
was being curtailed. And the interpre-
tation was correct. But ii means more
than the man in the street realizes. A
succinct description of the costly oper-
alton is given by Bartlett. Frazier g.
Darlington in their market magazine:
The fact is that a blowout is equiva-
lent IN the iron trade to a capital oper-
alton In a hospital. 1t Is the last re-
sort-necessary, but none the less a
disaster and costly remedy in all ways.
For example: Here is a furnace repre-
senting a total investment Of about
1856, 900, capable OF producing 300
to 400 ton of pig iron a day. The
lining of the stack cost W months Ia
Dor and $50, 900 or more to put in place.
Under ordinary conditions IT ought to
last more than four years. The furnace
has been in blast for two years, when
suddenly a squall blows up II the pig
iron market collapses. At last he issues
the order, the charging gang stops
work, the skip hoist is silent. Gradu-
ally the hot blast eats up the charge In
the stack and the last of the iron flows
from the casting notch. The furnace is
'dead'-blown out. In a few weeks il
will he stone cold.
"When business demands q reSump-
ton of operations the furnace superin-
tendent examines the stack. The lining
of silica brick and refractory clay
blocks-like Moses coat in the story
is much too good to throw away. but
not good enough for a full term of SER
vice. To refine means a waste of say
$50, 900 now: not to refine probably will
mean a compulsory blowout two years
hence, perhaps at n time when idleness
will mean loss Of profits and diversion
Of trade. Between the two evils the
manager chooses the former. The half
worn lining is torn out, $30,0 600 is
thrown into the scrap. and $50, 900 is
taken out Of the repair fund to buy
and install new refractories, tuyers and
hearth gear. Two months later the
stack is ready for warming up. This
is an expensive process, too. The stack
is filled up with a blank charge of tim
Der. coke, charcoal and stock. and the
blast is turned OF very gradually to
give the big structure a chance to ex-
pand, or contract, and to settle down
to the business of making pig iron.
Very likely this part of the process VIII
cost $5,0 600. Gradually ore and limestone
are added to the charge, and the labora-
tory chemists are working overtime In
their efforts to bring the iron up 10
grade. 1t may be a month before the
stack can be made to turn out a uni
form quality of pig"

From Harper's Weekly

1900 ~
Surgeon General Rixey insists that GER
tain ships of the navy shall be commanded
by doctors.-Daily Newspaper.
He stood beside the coming tower,
The surgeon in command,
And sternly gripped, with show of power.
The scalpel in his hand.
Upon a distant smoky blur
The lookout's optics lighted,
And In a trice he shouted. Sir,
The enemy are sighted!'
The doctor, glancing DER the sea,
The EPSON salt berated,
Don't let them get too near cried he,
Till we've been Vaccinated!'
His chief Of staff. with flashing lance,
And odor of carbolic,
At once exclaimed Wen take a chance
In either fight or frol,c!
They're coming down., our hated foes,
IT'S time for consultation.
What remedy would you propose?'
He asked, then took his station.
The doctor clenched and shook his fist,
Wen use our vaccine quilts.
And when that's done" ne grimly Kissed,
Wen give EN- iron pills!'
In half an hour the hostile fleet
Which needed change of ar
Had beat q swift and safe retreat
That made the doctor swear.
I'D like to charge the foe-his debt;
But such a call-what Is il?
'Tis not an office cuii, end yet
IT'S surely not a visit"
Earle Hooker Eaton.
