Buffalo Skulls Found
A. l.. Potter.

In sinking the large we'll at wat
erWorks to a greater depth at
Pierre the dredge brought up a
skull of what is claimed to be
water buffalo," such animals as
are now on Y to be found in the
warm countries, such as the Phil
ipines, where they are numerous
and are used as animals of burden.
1t is claimed that a number of
similar skulls were taken out of
the river silt at the time of sink
ing the caissons on the railway
bridge.
The skull taken out in the we'll
was at a depth of about thirty two
feet, and had evidently lain in the
silt at that place for centuries, as
the river channel has been along
the west shore ever since white
men have had knowledge of this
country, with large trees growing
on the banks this side at the time
of their coming.

Save the Dish Water

The beauty editor of the Holten
Signal was asked by a girl who
wasn't of much account around
the house, what she should do to
make her hands white. The beau
ty editor answered with wasted
sarcasm that the best thing the
young lady could do would be to
soak her hands in dish water three
times a day. 1t never touched
her. She went home and gravely
asked her mother to save the dish
water after she was through wash
ing the dishes.

Five Numbers Under MANAGE
ment of the Midland Ly-
ceum Bureau, of Des
Moines, Are
Secured
THEY ARE TOP-NOTCHERS
And Highly Endorsed by Press
and Public Wherever They
Have Appeared

Arrangements have been COM
pleted by some of our progressive
citizens for the five numbers of
the Midland Lyceum Course, of
Des Moines, which will be pre-
sented in Philip during the coming
fall and winter months, and the
committee in charge have practic-
ally made arrangements to place
the sale of tickets before the pub
lie. The price of season tickets
has been made at -. 90 for adults
and $1.OO for school children,
which includes admission to all
five of the numbers on the course.
The first number of the course
will be Everett Kemp, in Inter,
pretive recitals, monologues and
recitings, on Tuesday, November
2Sth, and of whom the Bureau
has the following to say:
Everett Kemp has become a
leader among Iyceum attractions
His scholarly attainments, splen-
did physique, beautiful voice and
charming personality, together
with his wide experience, peculiar
ly fit him for his work as an in
terpreter of human emotions. To
meet Mr.. Kemp is to be impressed
that he has a consuming purpose
and that he must and will succeed.
His art is to interpret life, and he
does this with all the varying
shades and subtitle emotions pecu-
liar to this great humanity of ours.
He is born comedian and brings
to his audience that rare treat
clean, pure fun. His humor is
delicious. Everybody likes his
funny people; but best of all they
like him. To have the blues while
Kemp is around is out of the
question. His is the smile that
pushes back the clouds and radi.
ates sunshine and good fellowship.
Many have said, its worth the
price just to hear Kemp laugh.'
But he is not always laughing and
making others laugh. His fine
sympathetic nature, wide versatil-
ity and keen perception enables
him to interpret the more serious
side of life in a way to delight the
popular as we'll as literary aud
ience.
On Friday, December the Sth,

S. c. POPULATION BY COLOR.
Census Bureau Issues Statistics
Whites ard Negroes.

Washington. D {. September 81
Pre.imir ary comparative statistics of
the population of South Carolina
were issued to-day by Census Di-
rector Durand. The tabulation
was made under the supervision Of
Chief Statistician VIM c Hunt, of the
Division of Population, and is the
result of the first count. in detail, Of
the returns Of the Thirteenth census.
The figures are, therefore, subject to
possible revision. but it is believed
that the changes. if any, will not be
material. The figures relate to the
State. the city of Charleston, the
other cities of 10000 and over and
the counties. The total population
of the State and of Charleston is dis
tributed into white, negro and all
others.an the percentage proportion
of each is given, for the censuses Of
1910, 1900 and 1890. The decennial
percentage Of increase or decrease
for the same classification for the
decade l900-1910 is also stated. The
figures for the counties are divided
into white and negro, the latter in
cluding Chinese, japanese and Indi-
ans, but the number of such is so
small that they do not materially af-
feet the figures given for negroes.
Similar statements for the other
Southern States are being prepared
and will probably be issued in the
near future.

How to Get Rid of Nut-Grass.

A friend wants to know if | have
conquered the nut-grass in my gar
den. Yes, have nearly finished it.,
and this summer it is the rarest
weed in my garden. Last year was
the first year the garden was culti-
waited, as it had been lying out as a
vacant lot. One end of the lot was
we'll set in nut-grass. and | deter
mined that it should go. | did not
dig it out except whatever turned up
in the plowing of the land and was
raked out. Then every day | chopped
off that nut-grass. Cut off to-day it
was up tomorrow, but ! knew that
no plant can long survive if not al
lowed to make green leaves above
ground. So | chopped it off daily.
1t got thinner and thinner by frost,
and as none was allowed to seed, |
find few plants this summer and
have simply been pulling them out
as fast as seen. and have not even
had to use the hoe on them. This is
equally applicable to any persistent
weed. Keep them chopped off and
they must die. The same is true of
sassafras sprouts. These will simply
increase if dug and the roots cut,
but chopped off or mOwn off regu-
larly with the moving machine they
soon give up. The mower is the best
implement to rid land OF sprouts and
briers. Tile Pr2gressire Farmer.

When teacher leaves the humble
school-rooms of our South Carolina
rural schools and comes to the great
metropolis of America, she realizes for
q truth that thisis a wonderful age in
which We live.
A ride of eighteen hours brings Us
to the grand new Union Station "t
New York city, which st,including
terminals, approximately $50, ,o0O. 900.
1t occupies a plot l,500 feet in
length by 52O in width, which alone
cost SS,000.000. There are % tracks
and more than two miles of plat
form. The Pennsylvania railroad, in
stead of stopping this side in Jersey
City, now enters through series OF
tunnels.
The bed of the Hudson river con-
sists of soft mud and clay of an oozy
consistency to great depth, maxi
ing it unsuited for tunnel work;
therefore stone piers were built,
resting upon the solid rock beneath
the river bed. These piers support a
bridge inclosed in an lS-foOt water
tight steel tube and carry the rail-
road track within the tube. The
bed of the track under mid-stream is
100 feet below the river bed. These
tubes are ventilated by the moving
of the trains.
When you enter the great Union
station your baggage is handled au-
tomatically by rolling steps. When
you reach the top your grip is there
awaiting you.
Here We see the Metropolitan
tower which holds the big clock. 1t
rises to a height of 700 feet. The
highest lookout is reached at the
balcony of the fftieth story, from
which you may obtain view of over
one-sixteenth of the homes of the
entire population of the United
States. The mammoth clock is
wonder, claimed to be the largest
four-dial tower clock in the world.
Each dial is 26 feet, 6 inches in di-
ameter, the figures four feet high.

-12 feet from center TO point, and
weighs 1000 pounds.
The driving power of this huge
mechanism is electricity, none of the
devices connected Herewith requir-
ing any manual operation, the whole
thing being automatic. The master
clock on the directors floor, mot only
controls the tower clock, but 100
other clocks, also instruments for
sounding bells in other departments.
The chime comprises four bells, the
largest weighing 1000 pounds. The
hands are illuminated with electric
Tgnts simultaneously with the great
octagonal lanterns feet in diameter,
placed on top of the tower. from
which powerful electric flashlights
marking the hour may be seen far
beyond any transmission of sound.
Each of the quarter hours is flashed
in red and the hours in white lights;
one red flash for the quarter, two for
the half, three for three-quarters and
four for the hour, followed by a
number of white flashes marking the
hour.
