A TREE FOR EACH COUNTY.
Mr.. Becker Wishes to Have them on
State House Grounds.
columbia State)


August f. Becker, who Is in charge
OF the improvements being made on
the State House grounds, proposes to
put into execution a novel plan to
make the State House grounds beau
tiful and in addition to provide as
sociations that in later years will
mean much to South Carolina and
her people. Many of the trees on the
western side OF the State House must
be taken up and replaced by others.
Mr.. Becker's idea is to have a tree
from each county in the State, and
If possible to have each tree a diff
ferent variety. With a little assist
ance from South Carolina citizens in
each of the counties this plan should
materialize in the near future.
Mr.. Becker is very anxious to sue
ceed in this plan, and urges that
every effort should be made by South
Carolina citizens to assist him in
realizing this hope. He solicits cor
resncndence with reference to this
matter.

Why Do Doctors Differ?

AS an illustration of the old saying
that doctors will differ the following
is related by a physician of unques-
toned veracity: In the course of a
lecture which he was delivering before
a number of students he had brought
in by the mother a child six months
old, which, he stated, was suffering
from a very peculiar affection, and he
requested five of the students present
each separately to diagnose the cas-
The first gave it as his medical belief
that the child was suffering from incip-
lent pneumonia; the second, after ex-
animation, pronounced it incipient
%diphtheria; the third staked his repu-
tation upon it's being %peritonitis; the
fourth called it marasmus, while the
fifth said it was malaria. When they
had each made a careful examination
the lecturer said:
"Well, gentlemen, have you anything
further to say in regard to the case?"
Nothing more than has been already
said," was the reply from each.
We'll" said he, taking the little one
and holding it before them, this is a
child that has never had a days illness
since it's birth. 1t is the most perfectly
healthy child that l have ever SEEM

SPECIAL BUGEREAD TO
PREVENT DESTRUCTION
WaTShIp Florida Offered as
Sacrifice for Benefit Of
Naval Construction

Washington, June 9.-Sacrlficed for
the benefit of naval construction the
monitor Florida. shot two weeks ago
with the heaviest naval gun, will next
Saturday be punctured beneath her
water line armor by the most power
ful American Whitehead torpedo. The
first demonstration was to test the re-
spective strength OF armor plate and
explosive shell; also to show the ef-
fectiveness of new design Of fight
ing mast. The torpedo is to be sent
against the Florida that it may be
definitely known whether a water
tight bull,head. specially constructed
wthin her, designed with all the most
modoIn ideas of construction. can be
depended upon to save a ship from
destruction against this dangerous
method of attack.
Secretary Metcalf has invited Sec
retaly Taft to be his guest, probably
on the Mayflower, to witness the dem
oustration The Florida is to be an
chored over bar, probably near the
jamestown exposition grounds, in
Hampton Roads Naval experts pre-
dict that she will not be sunk by the
torpedo, but will settle about a foot.
The torpedo Is to be guided to the
precise spot where the hole in the
Floridas hull is 90 be made by means
of trolley. This trolley will consist
OF a wire one end Of which win he
fastened tG the Florida probably six
or eight feet under water The tor
pedo will be provided with two OF more
eyelets, through which the wire will
pass The other end OF the wire viii
be made fast to the torpedo boat in
use as a torpedo training ship, which
ever is selected to- do the firing.
When the torpedo hits, according
to official prediction, there will be a
splash Of water up the side of the
Florida. an explosion, and the gradual
settling of the monitor. What has
actually happened viii not be known,
even to the officers, until the Florida
is placed in drydock, which will be
done as soon as practicable there
after
Should the unexpected happen, and
the bulkhead prove too fragile to with
stand the high explosive the Florida
will sink. Ii is with this contingency
in mind that place for the trial
has been selected where the water
is shallow and where the monitod may
be raised with the least trouble and
cost
The preparations for the trial have
been under way for some time. The
test originally was set for June 10 but
it has since developed that the tide
would not be exactly as wanted at the
time of day selected, until Saturday
lnext
Besides the secretaries OF war and
navy, many officers from both sery
ices will be allowed to witness the
demonstration. and. as in the firing
test. the Florida Will be manned with
lofficers and a selected crew Of prob
ably thirty men. The experiments are
