A BROTHERS. AWFUL VIGIL.
Holds His Sister Over An Alpine
Prccipice for Eight Hours.

Grenoble, Aug. 17.-In the Houte-
Garonne. not far from Toulouse, a
terrible experience as just befaIlen
brother and sister, named Van
Goethen, as the result of which the
woman lies in the hospital dying,
with a fractured skull, while her
brother is in the same place desper-
ately overcome by shock and expos

stop himself by clutching hold of
boulder. At the same time he grasp
ed his sisters skirts just as she was
sliding over the edge.
NJ. Sombardier crawled down to
the boulder, and endeavored to assist
the brother to drag his sister back
to safety. Their united efforts, how
ever, were Of no avail, as the woman
(being unconscious) could not help
herself.
The two men shouted for help for
several minutes. Then NJ. Sombar-
der set off to seek rescuers, leaving
the brother and sister in their peril
GUS position. 1t was three hours be-

THESE ARE SOME FINE APPLES.
Oconee Farmer Took "Wolf River"
Variety to Anderson.
Anderson Mail, 15th.)


The largest apples seen in Ander-
sou this year were brought to the
city Wednesday afternoon by Mr..
Phillips, of the Long Creek section
OF Oconee. He had about two BUSH
els OF these very large apples, some
OF the select on, Weighing as much
as 20 ounces, and all were unusually
large. This variety, the Wolf River,
seems to be an unusual species in
this part Of the country and the own
ers Of the apples stated there were
only two trees Of that kind In his
home section.
If these apples are the average, or
slightly above the average, it would
be highly profitable for the apple
growers in this section and other sec
tions Of the State to raise this vari-
ETY.. The fruit Is excellently formed,
the color is a pale green with slight
reddish streaks over It, The apple
mellows soon and has very fine
grain with slightly acidulous taste.
The tree is prolific bearer, having
as many apples as the ordinary vari-
ETY., while the fruit is much larger.

MilI1 Scales and Record Sheet.

Clemson College, Aug. l3.-Spe-
cial: Few dairymen in South Caro-
lima think Of the COWS in their herd
as anything but cows. They feed
what they think the COW should have
and take what milk she gives as
matter OF course. The modern dairy
man regards his herd as market to
which he carries his feed for sale,
and he expects to get the full market
value FOR his feed. Again, the mod
ern dairyman regards each COW in his
herd as special machine which must
do certain work. Every loom in q
cotton factory must work to it's full
capacity if the factory is to pay it's
owners good dividend. Just SO each
COW in the herd must be watched
so as to see that she does her full
duty. 1t is very easy matter either
to 0ver-feed or under-feed COW, and
a great many COWS In South Carolina
are to-day being under-fed or over
fed.
The best way to study the herd is
to put in every dairy barn record
sheet on which Is recorded every
pound Of feed the COW is fed and
every pound OF milk she gives in re-
turn. good rule to follow is to
give COW one pound Of grain sor
every three pounds Of milk There
are times when this rule Is not best
but 1t can be taken as an average.
Some will say that 1t Is too much
trouble to keep a daily record. TO
these we say keep the record for two
days each week. This is far better
than no record at all. At the end OF
the year the dairyman who has kept
records for the first time will have
many surprises. He will find that
what he thought were some of his
best COWS did not pay him near so
well as some which he thought not so
good. lie will find that some Of his
hcrd have been kept at n loss. while
others have just paid for their keep.
AS examples, herds in this State
will be used. Herd No. ! was kept
at a profit OF 1924 per COW, while
herd No. was kept at profit OF
$l7 per COW. In another herd the
best COW gave $50 more pounds of
butter i'm one year than the poorest
COW, and at cost of only $8 more
for feed.
These illustrations simply prove
that unless the dairyman knows what
he gives his COWS and what his cows
give him, he Is running n very un-
certain business. and the milk scales
and record sheet give very hand
some return for the trouble 1t takes
TO Keep record. j. M. Burgess.

PASSING OF THE BOOTJACK.
Article That Once Was in General
Use Is Now But Seldom Seen.

Time was when there was at least
one bootjack In every home, for in
those days father and son wore
boots, and when boots were wet or
tight a bootjack was necessity.
Then all of a sudden. some SO years
or thereabout ago. the great major
ity Of the men took to wearing
shoes. Then in many homes the
bootjack passed out Of use and out
Of sight and out OF mind, says the
New York Sun. There arc many
people Of the present generation who
never saw a bootjack or even heard
OF one. And still there are sold at
the present day some bootjacks, for
there are still some men who wear
boots, either as their customary foot
apparel or at times in pursuit of la
Dor or recreation.
There are still some fine old gen
tlomcn who continue to wear fire
calfskin boots. There are hundreds
Of thousands Of farmers who still
wear boots, but In the boots worn
by farmers there has been also a
great revolution. Where once they
all wore cowhide boots, now almost
without exception they wear rubber
boots, and If they buy the socks in
tended to be worn with them the
rubber boots pull off easily and there
is no need Of a bootjack.
The original bootjack was made
Of strip Of wood foot or more In
length by three or four inches in
width and an inch or so in thickness.
You sawed out deep notch in one
end OF this piece Of wood. or you
rounded out there deep opening
to put the heel Of the boot into, and
a little back Of this notch you nailed
across the under side Of the board a
clcat to raise that end Of the boot
jack off the floor. Then you put one
foot on the bootjack at the end on
the floor and YOU put the other heel
in the bootiack' s jaw and you pulled
on that foot to try to pull it out of
the boot. Many man and many
a boy has had to do some right
smart tugging to get his boots off,
even with a bOOtjack. Some years
before boOtiacks went out there were
introduced also mallcable iron boot
jacks.

NINETEEN ARE KILLED IN MINE.
Others Have. Narrow Escape-Sevcn
ten Bodies Recovered.

Abernant, Ala, Aug. 14.-Nine-
teen negro miners were instantly
killed by an explosion here yesterday
morning at the Abernant Coal Com
pany's mines
Seventeen had been taken out at
8 o'clock tonight.
Forty white men and 18 negroes,
who were IN the mine when the ex-
plosion occurred. got out alive.
The explosion was in cutry No. IS,
1900 feet from the surface. The men
who escaped were further down in the
mine and were able to get past the
after-damp fumes. Three white min
ers, who were nearest the scene of
the explosion were slightly injured.
The force of the explosion was so
great that roof props, mining mate
rial and coal cars were demolished.
State Mine Inspector Nesbitt reached
the scene this afternoon and tonight
was unable to give the exact cause of
the explosion, but thought a windy
shot had been fired in the pressure
Of gas and dust. 1t was still very
dangerous tonight to enter the mine.
Rescue parties came from Johas
Yoland and other nearby mining
camps. While they were soon organ
lied for work, their early efforts
were greatly hampered by the crowds
Of distressed friends and relatives
about the mine
The mines are owned by the Aber-
nant Coal Company, of which J. B.

FEVER CARRIER REFUSES REST.
Health Good, Notwithstanding Gave
Whole Town Typhoid Fever.

Moorestown, N. j., Aug. l7.-The
picture Of robust health, Ellis Ken
sler, superintendent OF the David
Roberts dairy farm, the man tho To-
| cal and State health experts declare
Is the typhoid carrier" who has
spread the epidemic that has Moores-
town and its vicinity in 'te clutches,
with q fresh outbreak Of the disease
in four prominent families to-day
told this afternoon OF his fight to
make his the model dairy Of Bur-
lington county.
AS Kensler related how fate had
played him cruel prank by making
that same dairy hotbed for typhoid
infection, farm hands were emptying
100 quarts of milk condemned as
infected by the health authorities.
81 don't know whether the asser-
ton of the board Of health that |
spread typhoid germs is true or not"
said Kensler. 'Thcy probably know
what they are talking about. 1t has
been my ambition to make this the
best dairy in the country.
'"I have done everything possible
to keep my cattle healthy, dairy
clean and the surroundings sanitary.
The water we use in washing the
milk cans Is far more pure than that
supplied to Moorestown residents. ac-
cording to the boards own testi-
mony."
1t was while working around the
dairy, directing and occasionally
helping his men milk the twenty-six
cows, that Kensler, unconsciously i'll
with typhoid, inoculated the milk
with the bacilli, say the health au-
thorities.
Kensler said to-day he could re-
member feeling half sick" two days,
but supposed he had cold and did
not call doctor. About this time he
was In the dairy more than usual.
His splendid care of the Roberts
dairy was known in Moorestown and
brought the dealer who sold his milk
the best trade in the community. A
majority Of the typhoid cases have

as the "millionaire colony"

kensler almost tswept when he said
his plight might rob him of his GUS
toners. A few minutes before he had
refused the offer Of vacation from
his employer, David Roberts. whose
own son IS Ill at his home here after
drinking the milk. Mr.. Roberts
thought Kensler should have a rest
and change to recuperate.
81 feel tiptop," said the young su-
perintendent. "I'm too busy looking
after the farm, and this Is no time
for farmer to take vacation.
Thanks just the same"
The new cases to-day spread fresh
alarm among the citizens and result
ed In an order from the health
board that all milk sold must first be
steriliZed. Many patients are being
removed to hospitals in Philadelphia,
Camden and Mount Holly. as the
health authorities say each case Is
likely to become source of infec-
ton unless under proper care. The
new cases are practically under quar-
antinc.
