Gaffney Ledger.
1t has been said that the days of
miracles are past but this statement
Will not bear investigation when
taken in connection with a discoy-
cry which has just been made in
this city. The bare fact, plainly
stated, is that Ms. c. L. McGuinn,
VINO lives in the 20O's on Limestone
street, aged 20 years and some
months, is now growing a get of
new teeth. This statement may
seem to be absurd to most people,
but t is really true Through the
Kindness of Officer Hallman, of
the police force, a Ledger reporter
was yesterday able to visit Mrs.
McGuinn at her home and "seeing
is believing" with this force and
anyone who might care to receive
ocular demonstration of this fact
may sc to her home and investigate
granny as she is familiarly
kn'wl to all the people Of this sec
tlon in which she lives, is, as has
been stated, over 20 years of age.
She had been wearing false teeth
for IA years and her discovery that
she is now growing new ones has
brought the utmost joy to the bos-
ON OF this lovable old lady.

dies.
McColl, Sept. Is. - Representing
in person or by proxy a
majority of the $1,000,000 stock of
the corporation, a special meeting
of the stockholders of the Marlboro
cotton mills was held here yester-
day, the obejct of the meeting being
to IStermine whether or not the
the proposed Atlantic Mills corpor-
alton. The meeting lasted for sew
eral hours but when the vote on
the matter was finally taken it
showed something like a two-thirds
majority in favor of the merger.
This action on the part of the
stockholders of the Marlboro cot
ton mills is the result of previous
conferences held in Richmond, Va,
and Fayetteville, N. c., by prom
lnent officials and managers of the
principal cotton yarn mills in the
eastern Carolinas and Virginia at
which conferences it was proposed
to merge the mills of these sec
tions into a corporation represent

In addition to the Marlboro mills
at McColl, the following il "a partial
list of the mills that are c2nsid-
ering the proposition: The Dillon
mill, two of the Statesville mills
one at Taylorsville, two at Fay
etteville, the Smithfield mills, the
Selma mills and mills at Goldsboro
knston and other towns in east
ern North Carolina and Virginia.
The proposed Atlantic Mill cor
poration is in many respect similar
to the mergers formed in the early
part OF the year by the Parker and
Smythe interests in the Carolinas.
Should mills amounting to as
many as 100000 spindles vote to
enter the proposed merger, a meet
ing of the officials and managers of
these mills will be called for the
purpose of effecting a permanent
organization. This organization
meeting will in all reliability be
held within the next ten days.

Ants and Reciprocity.

Interesting new honors have Just
been conferred upon the tiny little
ant. Lord Avhbury, president or
the Royal Microscopical Society and
other distinguished scientists have
declared repeatedly that the ant pas
sesses an intelligence second only to
that of man. Today they know that
the ant is not only Socialist, a
community builder and a captain OF
industry, but a politician and diplo-
mat as we'll, with an intimate knowl-
edge of the practical uses of often
sive and defensive alliances and
reciprocity agreements with foreign
ers, says the Seattle Post-Intelli-
gencer.
In Central America there are cer-
tain kinds OF acacia. These trees
grow in districts where leaf-cutter
insets abound, and where the raw
ages of those insects are SO terrible
that large areas may be almost de-
nuded of foliage in few hours. The
acacias needed protection against
the leaf-cutters Certain species OF
harmless ants needed tree homes of
the very kind the. acacias could pro-
vide. Diplomatic conversations
must have followed, for 1t has been
discovered that today the achcias
arc acting as host plants to the
Harmless ants, which, in return, are
protecting the trees against the at
tacks of leaf-cutters.
Tho ants make a small entrance
hole into the thorns of the acacia
and farcfully hollow out the soft in
terror which, as 1t happens, la very
good food material for the ants, In
these little homes the insects live
and rear their young, and in the
wet season an observer has stated
that he found every thorn on the
acacias inhabited, while hundreds
OF ants were running about over the
foliage OF the plant. The acacia
goes even further than this. and at
the end of some of its leaves pro-
duces small yellowish masses, which
have been allied food bodies" In

this wav the acacia enlists in its SER
vice a standing army that will al
WAYS fight with an enthusiasm
which the defense Of a home always
INSPIRES. Browsing animals are at
tackled with great vigor by the resi-
dent ants, but the most dangerous
enemy of the tree is the leaf-cutting
species previously mentioned. AL
most always the marauders are re-
pulsed, and the tree escapes without
injury. Just occasionally acacias
have been found without the body
guard of ants, and it is always seen
that these suffer severely from the
foraging insacts. 1t is only during
the wet season when the trees are
making their new foliage, that all
these provisions are made for the
ants. AS soon as the rains cease the
food bodies disappear and the sweet
glands dry up.

Alexander Carr has reputation as
q wit and story teller only equaled by
his reputation as an actor. His latest
story was told the other night aud
runs as follows:
Two Hebraic gentlemen, friends Of
long standing. went to the lake and
each hired rowboat for a trial OF
skill and strength. In the middle Of
the lake one tipped over his boat and
sank from sight. Coming to the sur-i
face close to the bow Of the other
boat he shouted:
"Ikey, key, save me, can't SWIM
Carefully holding the boat a few
feet away from his drowning friend,
the other looked on unmoved.
Again the unfortunate one sank be-
low the surface, and as he came up
for the second time repeated his cries
for help. -
A third time he came up, and them
as he started to disappear from sight
for the third and last time, his friend
shouted:
able, II you don't come up .ageinl
can I have your boat?"

Explorations in India.

Dr. william Fl. Workman and his
wife. Mrs. Fanny Bullock Workman
both natives of Worcester, Mass,
but now residents of London, Eng
land-have just returned from their
seventh expedition of the Himalayas
and have brought back with them
the most remarkable and interesting
collection of mountain and glacier
photographs ever taken, says the
Boston Globe.
Mrs. Workman is particularly
well known for her exploits among
the crags and peaks of these Won

explored mountains, her most re-
markable venture being her ascent
of the dangerous and appalling
slopes of Nun Kun, in the very

Kashmir-a mountain made up Of
six stupendous spurs, each a grant
in itself.
The expedition from which DR..
and Mrs. Workman have now re-
turned was inaugurated last spring,
when the party left Svinagur, and,
crossing the Saltoro pass, operated
entirely in unexplored territory, be-
ing for weeks Gar away from the
nearest settlement.
In this latest expedition they
spent month at siachen Glacier,
being the first to explore that re-
gion above the 16,0O0-feet level, and
found the glacier to be thirty miles
long In all they have explored one
peak to the height of 21,SO0 feet.

MITE IS CAUSE OF DISEASE
Minute Parasite Excavates Place Tn.
der Skin Whore They Live and
Breed--Treatrnen Needed.
(By II. B. SPECIFY

tBy II. Is. SPECh.)
A minute mite Is the cause OF con-
tagious disease affecting the eggs of
turkeys, pheasants, cartridges and
cage birds. According to some au-
ithorities it sometimes affects the comb
and beak also. The mites excavate
places under the skin, where they live
and breed.
This very common disease Is easily
recognized by the enlarged roughened
appearance 1t gives the foot and
shank. The disease is present in most
Ifiocks unless especial care has been
taken to exclude 1t. It Is slightly
contagious. but usually only q few
birds In a flock appear to be infected.
The scales on the foot and leg OF
an affected bird are raised by crusty
substance deposited beneath them.
The LESSONS usually appear first near
the joints. between the toes and foot.
The parts affected first appear to be
enlarged and then the scales are
raised. giving roughened appear
ance
In early stages the disease does not
appear to disturb the general health
of the fowl. As 1t progresses the bird
becomes lame and sometimes the foot
becomes so badly diseased that Joints
or even whole toes drop off.
The infection from bird to bird prob
ably takes place on the roosts or from
mother to chick. The conditions
which favor its spread in flock are
dry, barren runs. especially on aka
line soils or In yards filed with ashes
or cinders. Foul roosting places also
favor the spread of the disease.
The disease is easily cured and IT is
worth the trouble of any poultry man
to cure all the affected birds and to
carefully examine any birds purchased,
