Trying to Save His Bacon.
DUNDEE.

A dispatch from Kingstree says
"the canvass Of the returns on the
Rutledge county election was not
completed and the hearing was ad-
journed until Tuesday of next week.
Attorney Welch, for the promoters
OF the new county, announced the
grounds upon which protest will
be made. It Is hardly probable that
the matter will be concluded next
Tuesday" Attorney Welch was the
lawyer who engineered the Calhoun
county election, and who took away
the breath Of its promoters by pre-
sendng bill for several thousand
dollars for his valuable services. He
failed to fool the people Of Williams
burg county into voting to form Rut-
ledge county, and he Is now protest
ing most vehemently in order to save
his bacon or his Zee.

THR1vED ON ALLEGED POISON.
Advertised Rat Killers Proved 70
Be No Good

Prof. David E. Lant1, export al
the bilogical survey, at Washington,
has been CONF letting experiments t.
test the efficiency of rat poison. He
went to a rat cage at the survey
and where he should have found, &C.
cording to the advertisement, two
dozen dead rats, he discovered that
the occupants were very much alive
and squealing with hunger, the sure
enough exterminator having but
served as an appetizer.
Prof. Lantz has carried on sew
eral like experiments with these rats,
who have eaten so much poison tina.
nothing short of strychnine aud
bichloride will give them even a
passing pain. The rats in question
constitute a large majority Of the
two families born last May. In splt9
Of the many poisonous doses which
they have taken, twenty-four veter-
ans. hale and hearty, are still game
and looking for more. The food
which proved to be such tonic
to the rats was advertised in the fol-
lowing terms:
'"This food is the greatest inven-
ton Of the age. After eating it, and
he must eat it, If he has a chance,
the biggest and boldest rat will lie
down to a dreamless sleep. Re
spending to the insidious power Of
the food as it passes through his
arteries and into the capiliaries of
his system, the tissues harden and
the body of Mr.. Rat becomes imper-
vious to the attacks of decompo-
sition. The body of rat killed by
this food may llie forever within
the walls of your house without CIV
ing out the slightest odor. We will
give SIS reward for any rat which,
after being killed by this food, re-
mains in the walls Of the house and
emits bad odor."

Keeping Cut Flowers,

When flowers are scarce or dear
here is a hint worth remem bering.
The Japanese keep cut flowers fresh
for a great length Of time by charr-
ing the ends of the stems with a
piece Of wood Do not use a match,
for the sulphur will injure the flow
ers. The Japanese say the charring
causes the water to penetrate the
stem and thus keep the flowers.
Chrysanthemums are thus kept for
as long as six weeks.

SOME GOOD ADVICE
From an Arkansas Farmer to His
Brother Farmers.

A correspondent from Thornton,
Calhoun county, Ark, to the Tri-
County Advocate of Fordyce, closes
an interesting communication as fol-
lows:
Yes, let's push back to those good
old ante-bellum days when prosper
ity and happiness were known and
sweet odor of home-raised meats
were waited on every breeze in the
nearby old smoke house. And our
barns Fairly groaned, beneath :-he
weight Of their burden of grain and
hay and fat, sleek horses and mules
fed on this home-raised feed stuff,
and laughed at the good time they
were having. Our stock are tired
Of eating corn stalks and corn cobs,
and saw dust ground into meal, and
sold for feed stuff. Their hungry,
bony bodies speak in tones unmis-
taxable Of our deprayity and idle
shiftliness. And they demand a
change. Why does this condition
Of affairs exist? Because our people
have gone crazy about cotton, and
have neglected the blessing our
climate and soil have offered in soly-
ing the problem Of life's happiness.
We need to go forward by turning
backward again and entering that
era Of living at home and enjoying
that independence we have not had
on account Of adopting the one-crop
system. Here is a geld Of great use
fulness for the young farmers. A
field Of much promise and field
brilliant development Of hopes which
will bring about the desired hap
piness. So right about face, far
mers. A change Is needed to bring
the real happiness and prosperity
Of the old ante-bellum days of the
closing Of the forties, when every
one had solid comforts and business
that life desired:
Corn in the crib,
Chickens in the yard;
Meat in the smoke house,
And tub full Of lard.
Milk In the dairy,
Butter by the load;
Coffee in the box
And sugar in the gonrd.
Cream in the pitcher,
Honey In the mug;
Cider in the demijohn,
And liquor in the jug.
II peace, prosperity and happi.
piness cannot be found in the above
lines III give 1t up. I never refused
to take little of every line. But
the two last Is getting very scarce
about Thornton.

A letter to The State from eBam-
berg says 1t is doubtful about the
Carlisle Fitting School this year.
The school has ceased to pay its
way. and had to close. This school
has done good work, and its close
Is distinct loss.
The Times and Democrat has the
largest circulation in this city of any
paper published in 1t, and those who
wish to reach the people Of Orange
burg should use its columns. We
are ready at any time to back up our
statement by showdown.
The candidates who fail to ask
the support of the readers Of The
Times and Democrat by making their
announcements through its columns
are making mistake, as The Times
and Democrat Is read in more city
homes than any paper published in
this city.

of the excursion rates to Washing

What are you doing for your
town? If you have no confidence In
the growth and improvement Of cur
little city and the country surround
ing it, how on earth do you expect
other people to move among you and
couse the country to develop and
| grow for your benefit?
