Laree Audience Greeted
the State Candidates.

On last Wednesday the candidates
for governor and other state Offices
addressed a large audience in the
court house. Many ladies graced the
occasion with their presence. All of
the candidates were present except
! Mr.. Hyatt for governor and Attorney
General Lyon.
There were no special features
aside from the tremendous and hearty
ovation given Congressman A. F..
Lever, who is being opposed for re-
election by DR.. w. w. Ray OF Rich
land. Mr.. Lever spoke for more than
an hour and was repeatedly cheered
| throughout his speech. When he
! concluded there were lusty shouts
from all over the building, which ech-
oed and reechoed for several minutes.
It was little after II o'clock when
County Chairman D. F. Efird called
the meeting to order. The invocation
was offered by the Rev. B. D. Wessin-
ger of Gilbert, after which the candl-
dates for lieutenant governor ad-
dressed the audience. E. w. Duvall
led off, followed by G. A. Smith. The
former stands for local option and the

Attorney General Lyon being ab-
sent his opponent, B. B. Evans, was
introduced. The speaker entered into
a scathing arraignment of the attor-
ney general, charging that officer
with not living up to his promises
made four years ago, and with squan-
dering the peoples money. He said
that the attorney general had even
| charged the State for his shoeshlnes
and for boy carrying his grip on the
streets of Columbia. He read from q
list of figures which he had compiled
showing how much money had been
spent for attorneys hire outside of the
State. He received applause.
The candidates for railroad COM
missioner-G. Il. Mahon, O. G. Scar
borough, James Cansler and McDuffie
Hampton-next addressed the voters,
each laying claim to the office by rea-
son of his qualifications.
T. G.. Mcleod was the fret of the
gubernatorial candidates to speak.

LEXINGTON. S. c.. WEDNESDAY JULY IS, 1910

He is running on a local option plat
form and made a telling speech. he
was applauded.
John C. Richards, Jr., told of his
work in the legislature during the last
twelve years. He favors statewide
prohibition because he believes in ma
iority rule. 1.-The time is ripe for pro-
hibition,' he said. He discussed 9TH
er issues and was applauded.
John T. Duncan criticised the news
papers, claiming that he was not be-
log given a "square deal,' and told
how he had saYed the state a large
sum of money in an alleged "asylum
DEAL" There was some applause.
Cole L. Blease was the next speak
er. He thanked the people of Lexing-
ton for the very large vote he re-
ceiyed two years ago. He is running
on the same platform practically now,
but believes in letting the liquor situ-
alton remain where it is. He de-
clared that he took a drink whenever
he wanted it, but had never been
drunk in his life. MIR. Blease received
generous applause.
@. @. Featherstone, who ran on the
prohibition platform twelve years age
when it was not popular as it is today,
was greeted with applause. He at
once entered into discussion of the
liquor question, stating that he had
no apologies to make for his posi-
ton. 1t was the paramount issue and
he proposed to stick to it. even If ne
went down in defeat. He favors BIZ
ennial sessions of the legislature and
stands for four-year terms for all state
and county officers. He closed in an
eloquent plea for a Christian man
hood, and was cheered to the echo
when he took his seat.
After dinner the candidates for Con-
gress spoke, Mr.. Leaver leading off
in what was generally termed the
"best speech eyer delivered before
Lexington audience"
He was followed by Dr. Ray, who
attacked Mr.. Levers vote on lumber,
but the crowd soon began to dwindle
away and the speaker concluded.

COWS THAT NEVER DRINK.

The wild cow of Arabia, ill real- ity an antelope, the Beatrix oryx, IS said never to drink, which is prob- ably correct, for unless these animals can descend the wells they can find no drinking water for ten months i'll the year. There is no surface water, and rain falls but precariously during the winter Only once during my journey did I find pool of rain- water, caught in a hollow rock, and even this I should have passed by, without knowing of it's existence, had not my camels sniffed it from dis tance and obstinately refused to be turned from going in that direction. These antelope, however, are pfovid- ed by Nature with a curious food supply, especially designed as thirst quencher. This is a parasite which grows on the roots of the desert bushes and forms long spadix full of water and juice. The antelope dig deep holes in the sand in order to get at these.-From the September Wide World Magazine.

THE SEPTEMBER
 STRAND MAGAZINE.

The Strand Magazine for Septem- Der contains stories by two of the most popular fiction writers of the day-Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and w. w. Jacobs. The former, entitled, ''The Terror of Blue John Gap,'' is written with the we'll known author S customary tragic power while MT. Jacobs story, Watch Dogs, is the one of the funniest yarns he has yet written. Seven other stories are contributed by well known Strand writers. The articles are all on in- teresting topics. The editor suggests an excellent method of celebrating the approaching centenary of Chas. Dickens. In view of the fact that many of the celebrated authors de- scendants are in comparatively poor circumstances the Strand proposes that the celebration should take the form of tWo-cent stamp which ev- eryone who owns copy of Dickens might affix to the volume. As the number of copies of Dickens sold during the last forty years or so ex ceed 25,000,0O0 it will be seen that if the suggestion were carried out successfully a large sum would re- suit which might be divided among his poor relations. Other articles in the September Strand include Fancy Diving for Women," by Serene Nord j; The Old Man. project for a novel newspaper; an interesting account of the Nautical Almanac and a statisti- cal article on divorce.

CAMELS THAT RIDE.

The 'Bedouins decorate their bag gage-camels in the most fantastic manner. A huge packsaddle is sur mounted by a still larger pannier; above this again is sort of chair, in which the rider sits. The long strips of leather hanging down the sides are simply for decorative pur- poses.
 l have seen camels, when too young to go on long trecks, being carried in these panniers, and they are always used for the Bedouin children.
 This tribe has many quaint and curious customs. Perhaps the most curious of these is the manner in which they show their esteem for certain strangers. One evening when a young camel had been killed for the meal, I noticed the woman col lecting the blood in a bowl Then, to my astonishment, they started to painting my camels on the necks and Hanks with the blood Unknowing ly l was the recipient of the greatest honor that can be paid to stranger.

When you desire to secure real an- atomical wonders, go to the news columns of the country weeklies where the literary editor is out salt ing the hogs, and the proof reader is at home cooking supper for the fam ily. Students of anatomy, who think they know the human body in it's minutest qualifications, ara amazed by the discoveries they make in reading over the local items, and they are lost in wonder at the carelessness of science in overlooking the results of editorial research abong subscrib- CTS.
 For example, an Indiana weekly re- ports that while Miss Gladys Higgins, of Aurora, was coming downstairs to breakfast Thursday morning, she fell and bruised herself on the landing. Unfortunately for the inquiring ana tomist, Miss Higgins was not suffi- ciently hurt to require the services of a physician to locate and treat her injuries, and that she was bruised on the landing is all the satisfaction science gets out of the report. Still, there must be landing in her ana tony somewhere or she could not have been bruised on it.
 Another case is that of Samuel Harrison of Piedmont, West Virginia, who, while harnessing fractions horse, was kicked just south of the corn crib. If the horse was able to speak, it might explain to the anato- mist in what part of MT. Harrison s body the corn crib is located. But it is not, and the anatomist must guess at what he can not find in any of nis books. The scientist who could locate the site of Mr. Harrison injury might be the properly equip ped person to call in to see Mrs. Su. san Harper of Carrollton, Kentucky who, while feeding her cows, was hooked in the barn. There seems to be correlation here which would indicate that the parts might be mu- tually helpful to the physical investi' gator.
 Two other instances of somewhat similar correlation may be found ir that of w. D. Tyndall, of Waldweck New Jersey, who, while stopping { leak in the roof of his house, fell of and struck on his back porch, receiv. ing injuries, and that of Miss lrmf Simmer, of Carthage, Texas. wht was teasing her tortoise shell tom cat when it viciously scratched hel on the piazza. Still, without plans and specifications, the keenest ana. tomist could not locate, off-hand. the injuries herein set forth.

SOME ANATOMICAL
 WONDERS REVIEWED

A much more serious case, because dog bites are so dangerous, is that which occurred in WadesborO, North Carolina. It seems from this report that as Miss Henrietta Severn was being escorted home from church Sunday night by Major Alfred Stofer, they were attacked by a savage dog, which bit Miss Severn four times on the public square. Under the cir cumstances, the young lady should go at once to a Pasteur Institute for treatment, but could Pasteur himself get to those bites in hurry with no other directions than as given above?
 Still other instances that call for investigation by the anatomist who has no editorial training are those of MT. Jim Rees, of Winchester, Ohio, who was stung by hornet in the COW pasture; of Policeman Smith, of Meridian, Mississippi, who, running in to stop a street fight, was struck by a brickbat on his appearance, and of Miss Mary Hollin, of Independence, Missouri, who at first escaped safe- ly from a burning house, but was badly burned on her return.
 Of course, if the country editors wish to reconstruct the human anato- my along new and unexpected lines, they may do so, because there is no law against it; but really they should not forget in their zeal that the old school anatomists have some rights which should be respected.-W. J. Hampton.

WHY They Don't Lay.

Many who keep hens are asking
themselves just about now why their
pulets don't lay, when the fact is that
lot of their young stock was hatch
ed too late, or was not given proper
food and care during growth. The
size and general appearance Of pull
let does not always denote the time
when she should commence produc-
ing eggs. have seen flocks of pretty
big, nice pullets and they would lay
hardly an egg all winter. The first
essential for winter eggs Is the right
kind of stock to produce them. Food
will not supply that want; it may
help some and in some instances it's
pretty difficult to help the matter
very much by giving extra care. The
strain has got to be of the right sort
if they prove themselves reliable and
profitable layers. After being in the
poultry business SO long and seeing
so many people fuss and experiment
and work in the effort to get eggs
from stock that had no eggs to lay,
no inclination to make eggs or ability
to commence to get ready to lay, 1t
is impressed all the stronger upon my
mind that there is a whole lot to this
hen business besides feed and care

Increase I'm Timber Business.

A statement just received at the
Department Of Agriculture from the
Forest Service office at Portland,
Oregon, shows that the timber sale
business on national forests In the
Pacific Northwest is increasing very
rapidly. This increase is regarded
as an index of the revival Of business
in the lumber industry generally,
and shows also the growing use of
national forest resources by the pub
lie.
The contrast between the amount
and value Of timber sold during the
last six months OF 1909 and that
sold during the corresponding period
in 1908 Is very marked. The figures
just received are for most OF the ma
tional forests in Oregon and Wash
ington, and they show timber sales
OF over 52,000,000 feet, for nearly
$114, during the last six months
of 1909. This compares with sales
of about 100000 feet, for a total
OF $4,000, during the same period
in 1908.
The local officers OF the depart
ment are very much pleased with the
fact that the demand for national
forest timber is increasing so decide
ly. The prospects for the coming
six months are regarded as promis-
ing even better than what has been
realized in the period just past. This
increasing timber sale business opens
the way to management Of the ma
tional forests along the best lines,
by permitting the removal OF over
mature and decadent timber which
has practically come to a standstlll
In point OF growth, and allowing re.
placement OF these trees with a fully
stocked stand OF rapidly growing
young trees.

does this county. and the state for
that matter, great injustice. as Jose
phine county furnished fully one-half
Of this amount. The production of
the Galice district alone runs up into
the hundreds of thousands. 1t lie
surely impossible for the Geological
Survey to make anything like a fair
estimate Of the production Of the
many camps In the state. Nothing
short of visit to each of the camps
and personal interview with the
men who represent the mines will
give anywhere near the amount Of
gold produced.
This guess work or estimating
business should not be given out by
the Geological Survey as 1t reflects
unfavorably on that department, as
well as the state Of Oregon. Let us
have the facts and figures or nothing.
Next year the Grants Pass Com
mercial Club should handle this mat
ter and have the result ready for
publication at the close Of December
so as to do justice to all the camps in
the county. The figures thus Sc
cured will not only be reliable but
will be Of great service, not only to
Josephine county, but to the people
of the state at large.
The year 1910 promises to be q
banner year In the production of
values in the Galice mining district
and the exact figures will easily be
available. The Almeda, the Oriole.
the Sugar Pine and several other big
quartz properties will be In the pro-
ducing column after the first of
January, 1911, and the product, add
ed to great placer mines of the camp,
will give returns highly compliment
ary to Josephine county.

HALLEY's COMET
ASTRONOMERS SAYINGS

This Is the year for astronomers ia
come to the front and make them
selves known to an interested pub
lie regarding Halley's comet. They
now tell US that this visitor who was
here 70 years ago. has for many CEN
turies been making trips In this d.
rection. The early historians do not
mention 1t previous to the third CEN
tury, B. C., but from that time on
ward there are so many authentic
accounts Of 1t that there can be no
mistake regarding Its existence. They
believe it was In existence when the
morning stars first sang together and
that 1t is part Of the original crea-
tion.
Many persons who are supersti-
tious are inclined to believe that the
comet has something to do with the
great floods and the present hard
winter in many places, the numerous
mine disasters as we'll as railway ac-
cidents and steamer wrecks, but our
scientists come forward and tell us
that the comet has nothing to do
with any OF these. The general i'm
preston among astronomers is that
the people of the earth will suffer
no Ill effects from Halley's comet.
The best thing we can do Is not to
allow ourselves to be disturbed OF
become nervous over what we cannot
help. Let us be content with the
assurance that it will be a glorious
sight when 1t puts in an appearance
during the spring months and we who
live to witness the event may well
rejoice.

WILL HELP MANY
OF THE STATES
The Report to Congress Of the
National Waterways Com
mission.

The National Waterways commits
sion, which was created March 3 last
year, has presented its preliminary
report to congress and the document
is one of the most important that
has appeared for long time. It's
river and harbor recommendation
effect wide range Of country and
will be read with interest in many
states.
With the report Is a discussion of
the policy which the commission rec
ommends for dealing with the water
situation and it is understood to ex-
press the latest views of the admins
tration on this mooted question, a
position somewhat different from
that taken by President Taft In his
conservation message. A severe de-
nunciation of the Sitting of water
transportation by railroads through
reduced rates and the purchase of
competing water routes, is made by
the commission. To the plea that the
improvement Of waterways reduces
rates by rail even If the waterways
are not used, the commission says:
Beyond Laws Reach.
THE commission while fully rec
ognizing this fact, can not endorse
1t as desirable policy. 1t rests in
the first place upon the transparent
fallacy that the railroads constitute
an entrenched and uncomfortable
monopoly which can not be reached
by legislation or other orderly and
legal methods"
AS a remedy for this condition, the
commission recommends that when a
railroad rate is once reduced to meet
water competition, it car. not be
raised, unless, after hearing by the
Interstate Commerce commission, it
should be found that the proposed
rate rests on changed conditions
other than the elimination of water
competition.
Inc proposition to give the Inter
state Commerce commission the
power to fix minimum rates below
which the railroad can not go, was
condemned by the commission, but
the majority of the commission rec
commended that the power be given
when the rate cutting is for the pur-
pose of destroying water competition.

The question of water power de-
veloped from navigable streams
brought up in the famous James
River dam veto message Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, is gone into at length
and it is declared that there is ample
constitutional authority for the sale
of the water power developed on
navigable streams, and toll to go into
the river improvement funds. There
is authority, also, says the report, to
regulate the charges for power fur
nished from these streams.
