tdhe the place or truth. In nearly sol
years of active business experience | have
never found a transaction worth while
when 1t came under the shadow of trick
or deception. have tried to keep my
hands clean; am now too old, / think,
| to learn new tricks" Placing a value
| upon this remar-. of Mr.. HIPS, young
, people do we'll to train themselves in al
correct, clean life while young, and, like
| Mr.. Hill, they can then get too old to
depart therefrom and their latter days will
not be loaded with so many sorrowful
retrospections.
People who feel interested in the pro-
gress of the day, and the wonders of the
present age, will be curious to know that
! German, Corent Zeppelin, has success
/ fully accomplished the wonderful feat of
carrying 20 people 900 miles in 9 hours
schedule time in his immense air ship
| This daring trip was undertaken June
II, and made from Friedrichshafen to
! Dusseldorf, Germany, 900 miles apart
at the rate of SO miles an hour. For part
of the distance the rate was Al miles
per hour. This trip was scheduled to
De made and it was made accordingly.
The best we can give as to the descrip-
ton of this new famous airship is: the
| gas bag is cigar shape, 4S5 feet long, and
i 46 feet diameter, and in position it is
horizontal. To this bag is suspended the
nicely made Mahogany lined car, car
| peted and seated the same as a Pullman
car. 1t contains, in the car, an eating
! apartment for the travellers. Three mo-
tors are used to propel it. It's litting ca
pacity is $4,000 pounds. 1t is expected
+, to be able to make a continued trip of
700 miles. The name of this great air.
| ship is Deutschland This monster will
make other and regular trips now, and al
:, ready tickets have been sold for the first
rev days at from $500 to$5ooo each.
Folks, what will happen in case of a
wind storm while she is a-fying
While Germany is experimenting with
the dirigible for peaceful pursuits, the
British are engaged in constructing a.
great airship of about the same size as
the Zeppelin machine, for war purposes.
This war machine is designed to carry a.
| number of men as crew and have maga-
zines for explosives and gasoline. The
| design for this machine, SO said, is to
patrol the North Sea and the British
Coasts generally. We hope this is all
| she will have to do. But if war even
tuates, and England be equipped with a
few of these terrible monsters of the air,
therell be no sleep of nights in the ex-
posed parts of the enemy's territory.
| Texas has produced her first 1910 bale
of new cotton. 1t was delivered in Hous-
ton, Texas, and auctioned off to w. D.
Cleveland & Co. for $37s.oo. The bale
weighed 4I6 pounds.
Writing of airships and aeroplanes, we
learn that the United States will expert
rnent little for purposes of war. The
! experiment will consist in aeroplanes Drop
ping sand bags on to ships of war, as both
are In motion, to see if it is practicable
10 drep explosives in case of a fight. But
/ at the same moment guns on the battle
/ ship are to be manned and beaded on to
| the aeroplane over head to see if the
| air devil can be hit. You see the point I?
| $Iooo.oo prize is offered the crew of the
| ship who prove that they can hit the
| flyer. Prizes are also offered the devils
Of the air if they succeed in establishing
/ the sure damage by explosives. These
experiments will not be made with the
/ dangerous stuff, but with harmless sand
and eye-sight piece to establish the theory.
1t was hot up yonder in Chicago on
| June 22. Thirty one deaths are reported
| as result of the heat wave The city
was shrouded with heavy, smoky haze
and the humidity was intense. We were
| told lV' a northern man a few years ago
that the humidity is the real dangerous
| element in such cases. He describes it
thus: The face and body of the person
may perspire, but all the tanning one can
do will not dry the face because the sur
| rounding air is so laden with moisture
| humidity that it cannot take on any
more, not even the small amount on your
face, and sufocation follows.
| Fence posts can be made out of con-
crete Ask the "Ofice of Public Roads,
U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, Washington,
D. c." to send you-a copy of Farmers
Bulletin, number 4o3 and learn how to
build your posts and fences with your own
hands.
Florence District Conference, 3rd round,
will be held at Wesleyanna church Aug.

The prayer meetings every night last
week at the Methodist church were we'll
attended, especially by those good peo-
pie who feel deep interest in wholesome
religious influence, and deep piety among
all the church members living in town and
surrounding. A quiet, steady religious
feeling prevailed all through these meet
ings, and earnest prayers for real re-
vival of pure and undefled religion I'M
Florence, were made to Him who guides
the destiny of the community. These
