WATER TO RUN UP HILL

A few years ago two men, J. b.
Gaylor and l.. c. Robinson, Of
Thermopolis. Wyo., after long and
deep study thought ont the me-
chanical device which is now de-
clared to be the boon to the So
called dry-land farmer.
At Rifle, Colo, on the Green
river, Utah, and on the Big Horn
river, OF Wyoming, water is being
lifted out of streams and thrown
on to land too high to get irriga-
ton otherwise at a rate of from
800 to 1000 gallons per minute by
this new device.
No engines are required, the
current Of the stream furnishes
the necessary power.-Ft. Collins

Advice to Smokers.

Here are a number uf don'ts Fer
smokers. some of which no d0nDl
will surprise good many men:
Don't smoke directly after meal.
There is the most irresistible cary
ing to smoke, but it is wiser to walt
a half hour or an hour. Don't SMOKE
out of doors in a high wind Or in
cold, frosty weather. In the former
case it is dangerous, and In the
latter it cracks the lips and prevents
proper breathing. Don't smoke with
the cigar or pipe held at the corner
of the mouth. This cxcites the So
cretion of more saliva than when the
cigar or pipe is held straight in
front And, above all. don't get IN
the bad habit OF expectorating fire.
Quently when smoking. 1t is quite
unnecessary and merely habit and
harmful.--St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

CASE FOUND HERE.
Colored Woman of This City Has
pellagra Disease.

A case of "Pellagra." deadly
disease, has been found in this city
ard the patient has been sent to Co.
lumbia for treatment at the colored
insane hospital Dr.. Babcock has
diagnosed the case, and he agrees
with the local physician, who first
attended the patient, that it is gen.
uine case of the deadly disease of
"Pellagra." full description of
which was published in The Times
and Democrat very recently.
Ellen McMichae, colored wo-
man, is the name Of the person who
has the disease. She has been in
the employ of Mrs. ]. |. Sorrentrue
as cook for three years, and for
that period the symptoms which in
dicate "Pellagra" have been notice
able in her case, but not until very
recently has the woman been effected
mentally, which is one of the last
stages of the disease. According to
llle dullOl IlltS llltle llIIiC CIldilSC
for the recovery Of patient when
the disease has progressed as far
as it has in this case.
Dr. Babcock. who is at the head
Of the State Asylum, has given con-
siderable investigation to this dis
ease. both in America and Europe,
and is authority on it. He will
thoroughly investigate this case and
will make a report on the same.
AS we stated few days ago in an
editorial on this disease, We believe
it is the cause Of much Of the men,
tai trouble that affects the colored
people. They should be taught the
cause of the terrible disease so as
they can avoid it. Once 1t is con-
tracted recovery from it is very
doubtful.

SUCCESSFUL ENTERPRISE.
The Jefferson Standard Life Insur-
ance Company of Raleigh, n. c.

1t is always a pleasure to the man
agement of this paper to refer favor
ably to any Southern enterprise that
deserves the unqualified endorse
ment of Southern people, and we feel
that we are justified in extending
such endorsement and favorable COM
ment to the Jefferson Standard Life
Insurance Company of Raleigh, n.
C.
In doing this, it is not our inten-
tion to disparage or reflect upon the
merits of any other company, North
or South. Simply a good word for
the Jefferson Standard is our object.
Many of the Northern and Sc uthern
companies, during the earlier years
of their existance, used shortcut
methods to secure large volume
of business and seemingly disregard
ed the idea of security. The Jeffer-
son Standards S methods, so far, have
been sane and keeping with con-
servatism, and operating and being
chartered under the laws of North
Carolina, this company could not,
if they desired to do so, sell board
contracts" or other catchy but de-
ceptive policy forms.
There is no denying the fact that
there has existed in the South a
crying need for life insurance COM
pany that could and would furnish as
safe insurance as the companies Of
the North and West and this need
seems to have been adequately sup
piled by the Jefferson Standard.
Messrs. Lilies & Lilies, as managers
for the jefferson Standard for East
ern South Carolina, are doing
splendid work for their company and
are meeting with a deserved sue
cess. These gentlemen, while ag-
gressive, have placed their methods
Of soliciting upon a high plane and
apparently do not find it necessary
to "knock" their competitors-in
the usual acceptation Of the term.
They are certainly representing The
Jefferson Standard, however, and we
predict for them and their company
continued success. and we have no
hesitancy in saying to the public
that we hope this prediction will be
fulfilled.

IS THIS Life ALL?

Extract From Bryan's Famous Lee
turc, "The Prince Of Peace"
Which Answers This Question.


."Shall we live again after this
body dies" or "Is this life all there
is to existance," are questions that
nearly every one of us has asked
ourselves at some time or other,
but no answer has ever come back
that satisfies us, except the simple
faith taught in the Bible. The fol-
lowing extract from The Prince of
Peace" Bryan's great lecture. will
help us to understand the great doc
trine of the immortality of the, soul
rs taught by the Bible:
Christ gave us fruit OF immortal
ity. and yet it would hardly seem
necessary that we should rise from
the dead to convince us that the
crave is rot the end.

Given tongue that proclair,s a

pulssless heart Of the buried acorn,
and to make it to burst forth from

ator?
IF He stocps to give to the rose
bush whose witherei blossoms float
upon the autumn breeze. the sweet
assurance of another spring time,
will he refuse the words Of hope
to the sons of men when the frosts
Of winter come? If matter mute
and inanimate, tho changed by the
forces Of nature into a multitude of
forms. can never die, will the spirit
of man suffer annihiliation when it

Of its lineal descendants planted ana

There is in the grain Of wheat
an invisible something which has
power to destroy the body that we

one that we cannot tellonc from the

A DRUG FARM
Will Be Established by the Govern
ment Near St. Matthews.

A dispatch from Washington to
The News and Courier says Congress
man Lever has arranged with the
department of agriculture to estab-
lish drug farm at st. Matthews,
in Cauhoun county, with ]. E. Wan
namaker in immediate charge of it..
The department Of agriculture Will
furnish all of the expert advice and
supervision and Mr.. Wanamaker Will
contribute the land and labor.
Speaking of this matter Mr.. Lever
said:
Experiments in the growing OF
Paprika pepper has gone far enough
to convince me that we in South Car
olina have the, possibility Of an in
dustry, which when fully developed,
will give US an annual income OF
from 100000 to sl,000,O0O. My
idea in establishing this new farm
at St. Mathews is to develop the in
dustry more thoroughly and to coll,
vince the public that there is great
possibility in it.
"Mr. Wannamaker has assured NIT
that he will be glad to cooperate IN
this matter, and that alone gives
assurance of success. The low
er part OF South Carolina from CO.
lumbia to the seaboard, in climate
and soil. is quite well adapted to the
development of this industry, and
hence My interest in the matter.

TRlCHlNA PAkASClTE
WHICH RIVALS PELLAGRA, AP.
PEARS IN GEORGIA MEAT.
1t Comes From Fresh Pork, and
Causes Lingering Disease, Which
Alawys Proves Fatal.

Above the terrors produced by
recent discussions Of that new dis
ease "Pellagra," rose the worse hor-
rors of "Trichina" at the State cap
itol Friday morning, says an Allan
ia dispatch to the Augusta Chroni-
Gle. The dispatch goes on to say
that if promised discoveries aUent
the latter are made and the dangers
of it not lessened by the investiga-
ton, country pork must take it's
place with suspicious eatables along
besides 'pone bread"
The appearance of >trichina was
first brought to the attention of the
State Agricultural department by
Mrs. H. Strickland, Of Duluth, Fri
day morning Several days ago she
purchased half portion of a newly
slain hog. While preparing de-
tachment for a meal, she discovered
that something was wrong with the
meat.
Investigation disclosed foreign
growths in what otherwise appear
ed to be perfectly healthy flesh. The
family physician was called in, but
he knew no name by which the con-
dition of the pork might be charac-
terized.
A young medical student examin-
ed it, and pronounced the complaint
"trichina.' Encyclopedias were
searched, and they disclosed the
fact that the trichina parasite con-
tains more horrors than Dantes i'll
ferno.
Mrs. Strickland promptly shelved
the pork for scientific inquiry, and
brought several slices to the scien-
lists at the State capitol. DR.. R. E.
Stallings, State entomologist, ap
piled microscopes to the exhibits and
confirmed the medical students dag
nosis.
Trichina is a disease usually found
in hcgs. 1t is caused by a para
site which must be taken internally.
When once in the body it multiplies
by hundreds, invades every part Of
the system, particularly the muscles
According to physicians there is
no known cure, and the only hope
of person or animal so inflicted is
to endr the suffering until the dis
ease works itself out. This is sell
dom done, as the depravations are
so severe that few constitutions can
survive an attack.
One human patient is said to be
in Atlanta now, and is being made
the subject of considerable study by
local physicians.
Often apparently healthy swine
are afflicted with the disease, and
such meats should be carefully ex-
amined. The germs are easily dis
coverable with the naked eye, being
small and of pea shape.
The danger of them may be avoid
ed by all meats being we'll cooked,
as heat destroys the life Of the par
asities. But the heat applied to a
rare" or medium" steak is said to
be insufficient to rid it of danger,
but trichina does not often appear
in beef.
To prevent the larger packing
houses from using meat so infected,
the federal government is now keep
ing inspectors at their plants who
examine each carcass and order all
those found afflicted destroyed. *

of stealth, Reeves fell back dead in
his wagon and the mules carried him
home. 1t was not difficult to find
where in the road he was shot, and
close by was found the tree behind
which the assassin stood. Thence
the assassin walked 100 yards to a

trailed the man. but would not take
the trail Of the mule.
1t could not be learned what ev-

but among other circumstances are
threats which are said to have been
made. The arrest Of these men was
not an entire surprise to them, for,
while they did not know the exact
