Mr., Luther Smith Succumbs
70 Lingering Illness

MIR. S. Luther Smith, .one Of the
county's most honored citizens, died
at his home, in the Dutch Fork Thurs
day night. Mr.. Smith was a good,
brave and true soldier of the Confed-
crate war. He joined Company G,
under Capt. Godfrey Leaphart, on the
10th of December, 1861. This company
was later attached to the goth Sonth
Carolina regiment, under Capt. L. M.
Kilt, which regiment was organized
at Camp Hampton, near the State
Fair grounds in Columbia.
Mr.. Smith was severely wounded in
battle at Cold Harbor June 1, 1864, and
never sufficiently recovered to re-enter
service again. For two terms he serv-
ed the county faithfully as supervisor.
and was also county commissioner for
like period. He was one of the most
widely know men in the county and
was deservedly popular. For the last
year he had been in failing health,
being confined to his bed for the last
three months with Bright's disease,
which was the immediatel cause: of
death.
The deceased was lifelong member
of High Hill Lutheran church,. and
Was one of it's strongest pillars. He
was the father of large family Of
children, six of whom are living as
follows: Mrs. J. j. Buckley, Mrs. G. A.
Derrick, of Lexington; Mrs. Perry
Fulmer, Mrs. J. J. Ballentine, and
Miss Lille Smith and Mr.. Charlie
Smith, of the Dutch Fork. He is also
survived by large number of grand
children. His wife preceded him to
the grave several years ago.
His remains were buried on Satur-
day in lhe cemetery of High 4Hill
church at half past 1 O'Clock, with
funeral services by his pastor, the
Rev. J. B. Haigler.
In the death of Mr.. Smith the coun-
ty has lost one of it's best citizens.

Prohibition Fight
70 Be In Senate.

Columbia, Jan. 25.-It is conceded
by every element in the Whiskey fight
that the main battle will be in the
senate. Ever since the "compromise
measured of last session and the sub
sequent elections in the q counties of
this state, it has been evident that
if the prohibitionists decided to press
their claims further the state senate
would be the scene of combat and it
has so turned out,
The senate position on the whiskey
question is doubtful. AS has already
been stated there is a difference of
opinion as to whether the compromise
of last session should be binding or
not on the members of this session.
Although the members now appear to
be practically evenly divided either
on the question of prohibition or
whether or not the compromise should
be binding on this session, the vote on
the adoption of the bill as passed in
the senate last session would indicate
that 80 out of the 80 members present
voted for the measure.
It is no longer question Of whether
or not prohibionists consider the COM
promise binding, for evidently they
do not, statewide bill having been
introduced in both the house and the
senate. But as predicted the first fight
on the bill will be in the senate, the
prohi measure being on the calendar
as an adjourned debate bill for Thurs
day.
The understanding now is that
neither side will press vote in the
senate until there is full senate. OF
course should the same number OF
senators be absent on either side and
are paired it is probable that the vote
would be taken.
Senator Carlisle pushed matters Sat-
urday by having the prohibition bill
of last year substituted by the new
prohibition bill of his own ard there
by the position on the calendar coll
siderably advanced.
Between now and Thursday there
will doubtless be great deal of dis
cussion as to the compromise bill ct
last wear and the vote in the senate
will, therefore, be awaited with inter
est.

BOYS, NEVER SWEAR.

1t is vulgar, altogether too low for a
decent boy.
1t is foolish. "Want of decency is
want of sense"
1t is cowardly-implying fear of not
being believed or obeyed.
1t is contemplate forfeiting the re-
spect of all the wise and good.
1t is ndecent-offensive to delicacy.
and extremely unfit for human ears.
1t is mean. A boy of high moral
standing would almost as soon steal a
sheep as swear.
1t is ahusive-to the mind which con-
ceives the oath, to the tongue which
utters it, and to the persons at whom
it is aimed.
1t is venomous-showing boy heart
to be nest of vipers, and every time
ne swears one of them sticks out his
head.
1t is wicked-violating the divine law
and provoking the displeasure of Him
who will not hold him guiltless VIII,
takes his name in vain.
1t is ungentlemanly. A gentleman,
according to Webster. is genteel man
well bred, refined. Such a man will n,
more swear than go into the street t,
throw mud with a chimney sweep.

HOW TO DRINK MILK.

There are two ways of drinking milk
and majority of people drink it the
wrong way. This is the chief reason
why milk disagrees with some people.
Milk must not be imbibed like water. 1t
should be drunk very slowly. sip at q
time.
There is scientific reason for drink.
ing milk slowly and in small quantities.
Milk curdles as soon as it comes in con-
tact with the juices of the stomach. If
whole glass of milk is taken at one
draught into the stomach the result is a
large curd through which the gastric
juices can not readily penetrate and act
with the necessary solvent power.
Milk is one of the most valuable of
foods. 1t contains all the elements nee
essary for maintaining the physical
health Of those who know how to take
it properly. Indeed most people would
be better of physically If milk and
whole meal bread formed their ordinary
diet. Especially is this true of delicate
persons whose power of digestion have
become enfeebled.

THE DEEP. BREATHING CURE.

A boy who was consumptive and was
rapidly going along the road to the
grave was taken in hand by one who
understood deep breathing and the i'm
portance of proper mastication of food,
etc. He was made to understood pre-
cisely why deep breathing was of such
vital Importance and he took a living
interest in his own cure. He was fourteen
years old. In very few weeks the
change was remarkable. He began to
get firm flesh on his poor little limbs,
his chest developed well and healthy
color came into his cheeks. His eyes,
which were always covered with sites,
became perfectl yfree from them, and
la three months or less there was no
sign of consumption in him. / may
say he was only treated once q week
for half an hour. .-Paul-Mall Gazette,

THE COMETS.
Facts About These Eccentric Wan.
dererS in SPACE.

DR.. William r. Brooks. of Smiths
observatory, reports remarkable changes
in Halley's comet during the last three
days. The nucleus, the brightest part
OF the comets head. has grown larger
and brighter, while the coma, surround
ing the nucleus, has greatly changed in
form, and is now distorted and much
broader on the side nearest the sun.
This, says Professor Brooks, gives
evidence of violent tidal action. The
dark streak extending back from the
nucleus. though the middle of the tail,
has also grown brosder. dividing a large
part of the tail into two distinct
branches.
Halley's comet is only one of many.
So far astronomers have located 200 of
these in our solar System and they come
nd go at irregElar intervals.
AS early as CRsar,s death. ~ B. c.,
comet was seen that came nearer the
sun than any other save one and which
was the most brilliant OF any ever dis,
covered. 1t reappeared in the reign of
Justinian. SS3 A. D.. and again in il06.
1t was again located by Newton ip
1850. The comet Of 1873 was the only
one which got closer to the SUN than tisa
one Newton acked.
Comets diffel from planets I'm travel
ing through space. The planets revolve
in zone of no great breadth on either
side of the ecliptic; but the paths of the
comets cut the ecliptic in every direc-
ton. The orbits of the former are
nearly circular; those of the comets are
of varying degrees of eccentricity.
HALEY. in 1852. affirmed that the
striking comet which appeared that year
was identical with those which had been
seen in 1907, 1881 and l456, and that it
travelled around the sun in a period oc-
cupying some &c years. Biela's comet.
discovered in 1926, revolved around the
sun in six years and three-quarters. 1t
retarned promptly in 1882, 1889, 1S45
and 1852. since when it has not been
seen. Lexall's comet in ITO was travel
ing in an elliptisal orb round the sun,
taking about ave and half years for
the encirciing. Again in 1876 it circled
the sun and then went 0ut into space and
disappeared. This js knowa as the lost
comet, though several have disappeared
since scientific observations have been
in vogue.
Donati's comet. visible ip 1863. was
noted for its brilliancy. its distance from
the sun being is billion miles.
The comet is something of traveller.
This one which is due this month hal
been rushing through space at 500 miIel
a minute and by May Is will be going al
1000 miles minute. June 8 it will bt
nearest the earth. Some astronomer
believe it will touch the ground.
The tail of the comet is worth con.
sidering. 1t is of vast size, more thar
the mind can comprehend. Some o.
them are 400, ,000, 900 miles long and ar,
composed of gaseous matter. Comets
are supposed TO consist of vaporizet
carbon or hydra-earbon gases.
