County Fairs and CIu rarades.
These boys and girls clubs are
making a stir all over the South. The
corn clubs have resulted in the organi-
cation of many county fairs IN places
where fairs have been be-
fore. The boys have brought their
exhibits to the county seats, and the
farmers have thereupon organized
fairs at which all sorts OF live stock
and farm produce have been shown.
This has been the case in Aiken
county. where q Iair company has
been organized with a capital of S.

tomatoes and tomato products,

For the Horse Breeder.

Any man who will strike a horse
in the read should never be allowed
TO touch one again.
When the plow horses are brought
in at noon the harness should be *
moved and tie shoulders washed and
rubbed dry while they are feeding.
1t is just as necessary to fit a col
lar to a horse as it is to fit a shoe
to the foot.
1t is bad practice to allow horses
to eat hay from an o~eeraeated rack
as dirt is likely to fall into their eyes
and cause distress and sometimes
permanent injury.
Many good colts are injured when
quite young by forcing them to take
long trips on the road in COMPANY
with their dams.

clergyman tells the following
story: He was marrying a you.g
couple. All went well until he reached
that part OF the service where the
bride has to say. 81 will love honor
and obey"
The first part of the sentence she
would say all right, but on reaching
the word ''obey" she refused to say it,
but made some kind of noise very
ike 1t.
The clergyman again repeated IT,
but she still refused to pronounce the
word distinctly.
The parson now became rather
vexed about this and informed the
young lady that unless she said II cor.
rectly this time he would refuse to
marry them.
The bride. rather crestfallen. again
repeated the words. but on coming to
the fatal word she again hesitated. but
eventually pronounced it distinctly.
As they were on the way to the vss.
try she whispered to the minister.

The Rolling Tank.

Experiments have been carried on
recently by one Of the transatlantic
steamship companies with a view to
preventing ships from rolling in heavy
seas. Two small steamships have
been equipped with ~" shaped tanks,
filled with water, which flows in an
opposite direction to the movement OF
the sea, thus counterbalancing its ef-
feet. With two tanks working tie
lateral movements of the vessels were
from three to four per cent; with one

without the tanks, from eight to four,

MERELY 05eYED THE RULES
How the Late Tom JOHNSON, in Early
Life, squirmed Out Of Very
Tight Place.

When the late Tom Johnson started
in life he drove a horse car in In.
dianapolis.
One night there wac big storm
of sleet and snow and the tracks were
almost hidden, Johnson was on the
night shift, and in the storm he drove
his car two blocks bey1nS a curve be-
fore he realized the car was off the
tracks and slipping along on the ice.
He tried to pull the car back and
failed. Thereupon he unhitched the
horses, drove them back to the barn
and left the car where II was.
Next day the superintendent called
him. Here, Johnson" he said. what
do you mean by driving a car off the
track and then leaving 1t in the
street,"
Why" Johnson replied, suavely,
that's in the rules for drivers and
conductors"
In the rules for drivers and CON
ductors?' roared the superintendent
Where, I'd like to know"
Certainly" replied Johnson. 1T
says always to be polite to passengers
Do you remember the kind of a night
last night was? Well. there was a
lady on my car who didn't have an
umbrella and. she lived two blocks
from that curve. SO ! drove her
home. Saturday Evening Post

an hour the building was doomed.
Governor Hadley directed the fight
against the flames. which. because Of the
age o, the building. rapidly gained great
headway. The penitentiary fire department
was called. and the convicts worked heroi-
cally, scaling walls and taking dangerous
chances with their lives.
The records OF the House of Representa-

Sci ate were saved. In the State Treas
urtr's office more than s2O 600 is in tho time

been saved. but this cannot be ascertained
until the debris is cleared away. There was
no insurance.
The Capitol was erected in 1888 at n cost
OF $4,000. and in isG remodelled at a cost
o, $500 The loss OF the House records
practically necessitates the work OF the
