Agricultural "A Department to Aid i'm
Pepper Growing Experiment.
News and Courier special.)

Washington. Feb. 7.-Congress-
man Lever has arranged with the de-
partment of agriculture to establish
drug farm at st. Matthew's, I'm
Calhoun county, with j. e. Wanna
maker in immediate charge of IT.
The department of agriculture will
furnish all of the expert advice and
supervision and Mr.. Wannamaker
will contribute the land and albor.
Speaking of this matter, Mr.. Lever
said: Experiments In the growing
of Paprika pepper has 2one far
enough to convince me that we in
south Carolina have the possibility
or an industry, which when fully de-
Veloped, will give us an annual in
come of from $500,0O0 to $1,000
900. My idea in esta blishing this
new farm at st. Matthew's is to de-
Velop the industry more thoroughly
and to convince the public that there
is great possibility in It, Mr.. Wan
namaker has assured me that he will
be glad to cooperate in this matter,
and that alone gives assurance of
success. The lower part OF South
Carolina from Columbia to the sea
board, In climate and soil, is quite
well adapted to the development OF
this industry, and hence my interest
in the matter"

CASHIER CLEARS HIS NAME.
Follows Man 5000 Miles to Prove
that He Was Not a Thief.

Pittsburg, Feb. 19.-Thomas Cor
don, negro, formerly janitor of the
First National Bank of Turtle Creek,
Pa, was landed in jail here this
morning after having been brought
from Ocala, Fla, by Thomas Carroll,
former cashier OF the bank, who had
trailed him more than 5000 miles
in eighteen months.
On August 10, 1907, the bank was
robbed of $4,750. There was no one
but the cashier and the ianitor in
the bank at the time the money dis
appeared. Gordon had a good story
to tell and the blame fell on the
cashier, who sold his home and bor-
rowed the money to settle the loss.
He was also discharged.
Carroll believed that the janitor
had got the money and when Gordon
and his wife left Turtle Creek some
months later Carroll trailed them.
He stalked the couple all through the
South, but 1t was not until q few
weeks ago that Gordon bought a
country place in Florida for $4,000
and prepared to apend the rest Of his
life in case. Carroll had kept tab on
every move of, the couple since they
left Turtle Creek and was able to
show that Gordon had not done a
stroke of work, so when Carroll
walked in with the officers the for
mer janitor collapsed and it is said
confessed.
Carroll has contracted an illness
In the search of Gordon which may
cost him his life.

Women Who Wear Well,

1t Is astonishing how great a change
few years OF married life often make in
tho appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, tho charm, the
Drilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which Is rudely handled The
matron Is only dim shadow, O faint echo
OF tho charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to tho system through tho
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
OF Its freshness and the form of its
fairness.

Hog Had Big Nail i'm Liver.
(Fort Mill Times.)

That a hog could live and thrive
with ten-penny nail through it's
liver seems almost incredible, yet
such an occurrence has recently
taken place in Fort Mill, The hog
that accomplished this extraordinary
feat was owned by E. w. Kimbrell
and was slaughtered last Monday
The nall was old and rusty, and bore
evidence Of having been in this posi-
tion some time. The hog showed no
signs of discomfort by reason Of the
nail through its liver, and that or
gan was likewise in perfectly
healthy state when the hog was kill
ed. Now the question is, how did
the nall get into its very unnatural
position?

ROBBERY Of IDAHO FOOTBALL

front page account of an alleged
holdup in which the manager of the
Idaho football team was an unwill-
ing victim of two thugs who relieved
him Of check for $659. The story
went on to explain that while the
team was returning to Moscow from
the Portland game, that Manager
Smith stepped from the train at a
small station for a stroll on the plat
form. when he was seized from he
hind by two burly thugs, etc.
II now develops that the holdup
was q Joke and that It was perpetrat-
ed by two OF Smiths fellow football
players Instead of his being held up.
however, the check was slipped from
the pocket Of the coat which the
manager had left hanging in the car.
The details of the joke were told
last evening by William Dunn. who
was the conductor on the train and
who witnessed its perpertation. 9

After a lapse of two months. Man.
ager Mcclellan of the Pacific Tele-

ments with the local railroad officials
whereby central will be able to ans
wer all questions concerning the ar
rival and departure of trains. All
that is necessary is for the question
er to ask for 900" and then make
his or her wants known.
For the past two months the tele-
phone office has been unable to give
this information for the reason that
the employees at the local depot did
not have time to answer the tele-
phone calls. With additional help
they are now able to supply this serv-
ice for the benefit of the public.
Thus by calling 900" it will be
possible for one to get just as accur-
ate information concerning the train
service and get it much more prompt
" than by calling the depot. Cen

the time of trains, while the depot
might not have time to answer all

SNOW COVERING Is
GRADUALLY DISAPPEARING

With 81 dgrees above zero as the
minimum temperature for last night
and with the snow melting slowly to-
day it is evident that the backbone Of
the cold spell is broken and that the
green grass will be visible within a
short time. Since the snow is going
off so gradually, practically all the
moisture is going into the ground and
will be conserved.
1t clouded up last evening and for
at time looked like another snow
storm was imminent. None of the
feathery flakes appeared, however,
and as the weather has been growing
steadily warmer since that time it
seems evident that If any moisture is
TO be received II will be in the form
OF rain. Indeed, few drops of rain
fell during the noon hour today and
in the course of the afternoon but
there were hardly enough to entitle
them to the dignity of being called
a shower.

continued this afternoon. An ad-
journment had been taken yesterday
afternoon until lac today in order to
give the special veniremen who had
been summoned, a chance to report.
The attorneys for the defense have
now exercised three of their 12 per-
emptory challenges while District At
torney Phelps has used two of his six
challenges. In addition to Chris Ira
ver the defense has challenged r. NJ.
Dorothy and B. A. Marquis, while the
prosecution has challenged ]. T,

next challenge will be exercised by the
prosecution.

cause before the first IL were passed
for cause.

yesterday and also this afternoon, is a
