Polk Miller'S Latest.

Mr. Polk Miller, of Richmond,
blew into the editorial Office of the
Advertisers Almanack, of New
York. like fresh breeze from the
South, few days ago, and was
promptly asked, Of course, for the
latest darkey story in Virginia. He
said it was about substituting a
wild turkey for a tame turken. One
of his friends bought turkey from
old Uncle Ephraim and asked him,
in making the purchase, if itwas a
tame turkey.
"Oh, yais, sir; it's a tame tu'key
ol right
"Now, Ephraim, are you sure it's
a tame turkey?"
ooh, yais, sir; dere's no so't O.
doubt bout dat. It's tame tu'key
ol right"
He consequently bought the tur-
kew, and day or two later when
eating it he came across several shot.
Later on when be met old Ephraim
On the street he said: "Well, Eph-
raim YOU told me that was a tame
turkey, but l found some shot in it

BUzzARD STOPS COTTON MILLS.
Snort Circuits Power Line and Dis
ableS Many Factories.

Yorkville, December 15:-He was
Just an ordinary, everyday turkey
buzzard, and although it cost him
his life, he stopped numerous North
Carolina cotton mills and other
manufacturing plants for an hour OF
two last Friday, aad caused the
Southern Power Company consider
able trouble and expense. There is
no reason, however, to conclude that
his action was due to malicious mis-
chief. 1t was either late Thursday
afternoon or early Friday morning
that he vas sailing along in the
neighborhood of Naunie's mountain,
about midway between the Power
Company's main distributing station
on Catawba river and the town of
Glover, when he espied one of the
metal towers of the power line and
concluded to tarry for awhile and
alighted on 1t. Shortly afterwards,
he spread his wings until they came
in contact with the two main pow
er lines Oh that tower. A short Cir
eait was formed, but he knew it
mot, as $4,000 volts had passed
through his body and burned it to
a crisp, and at the same instant,
burned the wires in two, allowing
Mr. Buzzard to drop to the ground,
and causing cotton mills at CASTOR
ia, Dallas, ,Lincolnton, Maiden, Cher
ryville ard other points in North
Carolina to stop short. They re-
Ymaiaed idle for possibly two hours
and at the END of that time the pow
er was transferred to duplicate lines,
carried by the same tower, and the
mills resumed operation. The DAM
aged line was out of commission for
about twelve hours owing to the diff
hculty the iinemen experienced In
locating the trouble. 1t has been
suggested that Mr. Buzzard was a
native Charlestonian and was out on
his first sightseeing tour, aud when
he saw the maguifcently construct
ed power line with its 3O-foot dou-
bic steel towers and the 3 8 inch
copper wire strung from tower to
tower, and knowing that he had
never seen any like it on Market
street, his curiosity "tc be shown"
was 50 great that he almost involun-
tarily aIighted. As to whether Or
not his relatives will enter suit in
the York county circuit court for
punitive, actual and mental anguish
damages has not yet been learned

WHY TIMES ARE "HARD"

From reading some of our eastern
exchanges, especially the financial
journals and daily papers that are
closely identified with the corporation
interests, one would conclude that the
panic of the fall of 1907 and the hard
times following, especially in the east,
were due entirely TO the measures en-
acted by congress at the insiigation of
"that man Roosevelt" and to the per-
niclous activity of some western
governors, especially Cummns of
Iowa, Deneeu of Illinois, Sheldon of
Nebraska, and Hoch of Kansas. If
so, the hard times should be confined
TO this country, and If any depression
should follow abroad, it should be
merely sympathetic.
One of our Iowa merchants has just
returned from stay of some length
in Japan, and from an interview with
him in one of our local papers we
learn that times are far worse in Jap
an than in this country. He is
quoted as saying that s'the fiurries in
financial affairs and the decrease in
stock valuations in the United States
last fall we're but trifling in compari-
son with the grip of necessity which
has seized the land of the Samurai. ="
The hard times in Japan can not be
attributed TO anything that Roosevelt
or the western governors have done
but simply to the fact that, to again
quote, s'the repayment of war loans
and the explosion of the prosperity
bubble formed in the hour of triumph
over Russia, has thrown the island
empire into state bordering on COM
mercial ruin"

view above referred TO we 6nd dis

Lampers may be overcome by apply
ing to the affected parts a mixture of
one ounce Of alum In a quart Of water
once or twice each day.
When an Artery Is Wounded.
A man saved his horse from bleeding
to death from wounded artery by a
mixture of equal parts of wheat -four
and salt bound on with strips of mus
lin. He used about three pints Of the
mixture and left it ON for several days
until 1t worked Off.
Warts on Horses.
To cure warts on horses rub the wart
well with soft soap, and in few days
a scab will appear. Pick the scab OF
when it gets loose and rub again with
soft soap, repeating the operation until
the wart is gone. 1t will not leave
scar and will not return.
Biistering For Lame Joints.
Blistering is an effective remedy for
nearly all the different kinds Of joint
lameness. Mix two drains of Spanish
flies with one ounce of lard and apply
to the lame joint. Let 1t remain for
twenty-fo four hours and wash of with
CASTLE soapsuds. Wait three weeks
and repeat IL lameness still exists.
To Cure White scour.
When white scour makes its appear
ance 1t will be found advisable to take
the affected calf off milk at once, and,
after giving 1t one or two doses of cas-
tor oil or salts mixed with little
warm, sweetened Cruel, for thoroughly
clearing the stomach, follow on with a
mixture of beaten up eggs and port
wine made by beating up two eggs
thoroughly, shells and all, and mixing
them with glass of port wine and
giving 1t to the calf about three times
a day. This will be found to sustain,
the calf and counteract the acidity In
the stomach and will generally effect q
cure In two or three days. The calf
should not be allowed to have any
milk until all the symptoms OF scour
have disappeared. !
Remedy For Pink Eye.
The following is advised as q good
remedy for pink eye: Give bran mash
and green feed or laxatives IL needed
For this dram of aloes two or three
times day will do. Also give tonic,
as nux vomica one dram and gentian
three drains, three times q day. If
eyes are badly infiamed, wash three
times a day with 3 per cent solution
OF boric acid.
