THE VALUE OF PURE AIR

1t Is possible for a person to live
three weeks without food three days
without water and only three minutes
without air. This simple statement Of
a well known fact should make clear
that air, pure, fresh air, is the most
important element in the world for
the sustain ng of life. 1t Is also equal
ly important that in order to perform
the best work in any occupation, hui
man beings must be plentifully. sup
piled with pure air.
We hear much said about breathing
pure air and no one can long enjoy
health who inhales a vitiated atmos-
phere. If 'the blood is the life," and
the blood is vitiated by breathing i'm
pure air, then we see the necessity of
good air 1t is true that many things
injure the blood, but the one now to
be considered is what we breathe. We
are made so that the blood Is brought
to the lungs to be purified that it may
again go on It's course With alacrity,
strengthening, invigorating and restor-
ing those portions of the body that
need repair. The blood is carried
through the whole body from the
lungs by the arteries.
In red, leaping, bounding current
1t pours along, the vessels dividing and
subd.viding until they form the caph-
Iaries, resembling hairs in size, from
which they have their name.
These little hairlike tubes are so
thick in the skin that the point of the
smallest needle cannot be inserted
without wounding some of them and
causing them to bleed. After the blood
has done what it can to promote the
growth or restore the waste of the
body, every part receiving its appro-
pirate share, even to the finger nails,
it returns sluggishly through the veins
to the lungs; it is then black and
charged with pernicious matter and
goes to be aerifed, or, as it is called.
arteralized in the lungs. If, when it
arrives there, pure air is admitted
into the lungs, the blood Immediately
changes to a light red color A nox-
ious gas, called carbonic acid, is
thrown off and the blood goes on its
course again to renew, to repair and
keep in motion the whole machine.
Anyone can see, then, if the air
taken into the lungs is vicious, de-
prived of its oxygen, which sustains
the vital principles-health must be-
come impaired. Man must have air,
good pure air, and plenty of it. Bad
ly ventilated bedrooms cheat men out
of good health.-Health and Happiness

South's Crop Damage Not Severe

Washington, April 28.-Damages
to crops in the Southern States, east
of the Mississippi river, are not as
great as some of the first reports
seemed to indicate, according to
President Finley of the Southern rail-
way. He said to-day that reports
show cotton and corn have suffered
in the northern two-thirds OF the
States of Mississippi, Alabama and
Georgia, but that further south these
crops were not injured and that fur
ther north they were not far enough
advanced to be seriously hurt.
There is still ample time to re-
plant both cotton and corn" he said,
and "if this is done extensively the
final yield may not be greatly re-
duced. Reports indicate a general
suspension of cotton seed crushing by
oil mills, with a view to conserving
the seed for planting. The peach
crop does not seem to have been ma.
terially damaged. Melons and canta-
loupes in Southern Georgia hay have
Strawberries suffered little. No dam
age was done to fruits, vegetables or
other crops in Virginia.

A Knockout.

A young lawyer was engaged in
case when a witness was put In the
box to testify to the reputation Of the
place in question.
This witness in answer to a query
as to the reputation Of the place re-
piled, "A poor shop"
The lawyer inquired. "You say
it has the reputation of being 6
poor shop?'"
Eyes, sir"
"Whom did you hear say it was q
poor shop?'"
The witness did not recollect any
one he had heard say So
What" said the lawyer. "You
have sworn this place has the repu'
tation of being a poor shop and yet
cannot tell of any you have ever
heard say so?"
The witness was staggered for g
moment at the words of the lawyer
The lawyer was feeling triumphant
when the witness gathered himself
together and quietly remarked, ad'
dressing the lawyer:
"Well, you have the reputation ol
being a poor lawyer, but have never
heard any one say SO"

State. They had failed to keep up
the payments. Col. Brooks told them
that if they were not able to keep
the payments up that it would be
best for them to rent the place. When
the land was first purchased from
the State, the terms were that one
fourth should be paid in cash and the
remainder was to be paid in three
equal annual installments.
Bob Jones made the first payment
on the land, and by mutual under
standing between Jones and the
Pressleys one-fourth of the tract was
measured off to him and their agree
ment was that Jones had paid for his
share and would not be required to
pay any more. The contract of the
State was lost sight of in which it
was stipulated that if the land was
not paid for it should revert to the
State and the payment of the one
fourth of the amount would not be
considered.
Later the land was rented to
Charles Presley. 1t will be thus seen
that Jones did not have any interest
in the land. He witnessed the con-
tract of the State in renting the land
to Presley and knew that he had no
more interest. In the fall of 1885,
while old man Presley and his two
sons were planting oats on the land,
Bob Jones, who was then a young
man, went to the field. He carried a
shotgun. He shot Charlie Presley
dead between the plow handles. He
then ran off and was pursued across
the field by Edward Presley. While
running he managed to open his
knife. Stopping suddenly he turned
upon the boy and literally cut his
heart out. He then went back to
where the father was standing and
said, "Grandpa, I believe that I will
kill you,' and following the etate-
ment fired upon the old man, the
wounds afterwards proving fatal. He
then went to Edgef1eld and surrend-
cred. Jones narrowly escaped hang
ing. He was convicted and got new
trial. There were mistrials and a
change of venue to Lexington county
and another conviction.-The State.

COTTON SEED FLOUR MENU.
BANQUET Will be Served Of Viands
Made From it Alone.

In order to bring before the gen.
eral public the merit of cotton seed
flour as a food, a banquet to be given
by the Texas Cotton Seed Crushers
association during their convention at
San Antonio will almost entirely con-
sist of dishes made from that COM
modify. The association recently
sent 1000 pounds of this flour to the
king of England and Alfonso of
Spain, who are said to be greatly in
terested in this new product.
Cotton seed flour is nothing more
than a high grade cotton meal best
known hitherto as very fine feed for
milk cattle. Only high-grade seed is
used in its manufacture, and the only
process it goes through is finer mill
ng and boiling. Those who have eaten
bread and pastry made from it claim
that cotton -four products are more
easily digested than those made from
ordinary flour, and that they have a
higher nutritive value. Mixed with
cereal -four, it will produce the very
best grade Of bread and pastry with
out shortening in the form If lard
having to be added. Although in its
natural state cotton seed -four is
saturated with oil in the -four when
prepared for human consumption, re-
sembling both in color and touch the
product of wheat. J.
Cotton -four will be very cheap,
and for this reason it has engaged
the attention of food experts and
economists in this country and abroad

Mule Gives Fire Alarm.

Branchville, April 29.-Last night
about 10 o'clock G. F. Nettles, FARM
er who lives about seven miles from
town, had the misfortune of losing
his barn, stables and provisions by
fire. Mr.. Nettles says that he had
just retired for the night and that he
was awakened by a noise made by his
mule in trying to get out Of the burn
ing stable. He succeeded in getting
his mule and cow out of the stables,
but could not save any of his pro-
visions. A ton of fertilizer was also
burned.
The loss was about $500, with no
insurance.

Dukes to Buy Hotels.

Asheville, N. c., April 27.-If pres
ent plans go through the vast boun-
daries of the Toxaway company at
Lake Toxaway, including the hotel
property and the adjoining lands, will
pass into the hands of a syndicate,
the primary purpose Of which is to
develop water power. Inquiries to-
day revealed the fact that the deals
have not been closed yet, but that
representatives of a we'll known firm
of this city, which has handled many
of the large deals in this section, are
now in New York, and possibly the
deal will be closed within short time.
While it could not be definitely learn
ed to whom the property was to pass
in case the deal Is consumated, there
is a rumor to the effect that ]. B.
Duke and N. B. Duke, the millionaire
tobacco magnates, and the principal
owners of the Southern Power COM
pany, which controls the "electrical
situation" in Piedmont South Caro-
lima, are prospective purchasers. To
this rumor further confirmation is
added to-day by a special from Wash
ington to the effect that it is reported
there that the Dukes have an option
on $4,000 acres of the land in the
Toxaway section, and that the COM
pany plans to develop 10000 horse
power to be used across the line in
lSouth Carolina. 1t is well known
here that a deal has been pending for
some time, and that the title to the
large boundaries Of land in Transyl-
vania and Jackson counties is being
looked up. Rumor has it that the
syndicate, if it takes up the option,
will build several other large dams
and develop hydro-electric power.
Further rumor has it that the resort
features will be preserved and the
hotels managed as in the past. Pend
ing the close of the deal no arrange
ments have so far been announced
for the management of the hotel
property this summer and the boun-
daries have been closed, so far as
fishing is concerned.

Commandant Starting Cut.

Angered, it is claimed, because OF
the enforcement of the regulations
governing the Confederate soldiers
home, Mr.. R. M. Davis, an inmate,
Thursday afternoon attacked the
commandant, Capt. w. D. Startling.
The old soldier was armed with a
six-inch knife, a vicious looking wea-
pom, with an automatic spring catch.
Capt. Startling was not expecting the
attack and before he succeeded in
warding off the blows Of the infuriated
man, he had been painfully cut on
the hand. It was only after Mr..
Startling, using a chair as a weapon OF
defense, had knocked Davis to the
floor, that he ceased his attacks. Davis
bears several scars as the result of
contact with the chair.
Constable r. H. Thackham, acting
under authority conferred in a war
rant issued by Magistrate Fowles, ar
rested Davis and lodged him in the
county jail on a charge Of assault and
battery with intent to kill. He will
be given preliminary hearing before
Magistrate Fowles as soon as Mr..
Startling has recovered sufficiently to
be in attendance. Mr.. Startling was
rendered i'll as a result of the excite
ment and nerve tension. He suffered
an attack of vertigo and is confined 20
his room.
Davis came to the home from Spar
tanburg county, about two years ago.

Fired Gun Into Train.

Gaffney, April 28.-As Southern
train No. Al was coming south at a
lively clip, yesterday afternoon, be-
tween Grover, N. c., and Blacksburg,
shot was fired into the train, shat
tering the glass in the window of the
rear coach, and narrowly missed the
fagman, who was in the rear end of
the coach at the time.
The shooting occurred just across
the line of this county. When the
train reached Blacksburg, the matter
was reported to the officers, and in
vestigation developed that young
white man named Mike Blanton was
in some way implicated. Blanton
was arrested and locked up at Blacks
burg, and when charged with the
crime admitted that he was present,
but said that the shooting was done
by Willie Little, with whom he (Blan-
tom lives in North Carolina, saying
LlldC u0 duQ AllIl0 HVlC OOtu VI LIN
ing and that Little was drunk, and
that when the train came along he
fired his shot gun without saying a
word.
Blanton was brought to jail this
morning by Constable J. H. Allison,
after waving examination before
Magistrate Lyon. He says he Is only
Is years Of age, and that he had
nothing whatever to do with the
shooting. His father is here, presum-
ably to arrange for giving bond for
his son, which was fixed at $500.
Lite, who is brother of L. A. Little,
of Gaffney, has not as yet been ar
rested, and it is probable that he will
come to Gaffney to-day and surren-
der. The punishment for this crime
is not more than $500 fine or i'm
prisonment for not more than five
years. It is said that deputy sheriff
from Kings mountain, N. c., saw
Little when he fired into the train.

GRMSHAW DIES OF WOUNDS.
Death Claims Another Victim in
Charleston Mystery.


ter was added to the mysterious SEN
sational murder of Miss Margaret
Musgrove, in the death, this after
noon, at the Roper hospital, Of G. E.
Grimshaw, a Southern railway con-
ductor, who was shot with Miss Mus
grove last Thursday night on West
Point mill causeway. The immediate
cause of death was peritonitis.
The coroner's s jury was empaneled
this afternoon, viewing the body, and
the inquisition will take place to-
morrow.
Until an early hour this morning
the condition of Grimshaw was not
thought to be of an alarming char
acter.
Last night Grimshaw expressed a
desire to see a Catholic priest, who
was at once sent for and the sacra-
ments of this church was given to the
wounded man. Shortly after mid
night the condition of the patient was
found by the inferno on duty at the
hospital to have changed for the
worst and the coroner was notified.
Deputy NJ. S. Connolly repaired to the
hospital and took the dying mans
statement, which will be given to the
jury at the inquest.
When Grimshaw ran into the hos
pital last Thursday night, announc-
ing that he had been shot, an exam1-
nation revealed two wounds in the
lower fleshy portion of his back. 1t
was at first thought that it was but
one bullet making the two wounds,
but later it was discovered that two
bullets had imbedded themselves In
the body. No serious concern was
given to the wounds, although the
bullets had not been extracted, and it
was not until midnight last night
that the patient showed alarming
symptoms. The injured mans con-
dition rapidly grew worse and a few
hours later it was apparent that the
wounds would have a fatal termina-
ton.
Grimshaw's ante-mortem statement
is of course guarded by the coroner,
but it is not expected that it will
show any material variation from the
deposition which was made on Fri
day and submitted yesterday at the
inquest over the death of Miss Mus
grove.
His explanation was that he and
Miss Musgrove were shot by a man,
who looked like a negro. Miss Mus
groves ante-mortem was to the same
effect.
Notwithstanding the theory Of
Detective Brennan that GrimshaN
shot the woman and then shot HIM
self in the f1eshy portion Of the back,
to give the appearance of an assault,
it Is generally believed that third
party, interested in the woman's
family, did the act, having followed
the couple to the dark and secluded
causeway beyond the rice mill.
The police department is still at
work on the case. .....
It is not thought that the mystery
will ever be satisfactorily cleared up.
The verdict tomorrow will probably
be the same as that of yesterday, that
the shooting was done by the "hands
of party or parties unknown to the
jury"
The secret may be- known to the
priests who attended both parties, II,
in fact, Grimshaw and Miss Musgrove
really knew or had any suspicion as
to who committed the act.
The funeral services were held this
afternoon over the body of Miss Mus
grove at the cathedral and the body
was quietly inferred at St. Laurence
