Long Staple Cotton.-Mr. r. M. Jack
son, a prominent and successful farm
er of the Judson section, is expert
menting with long staple cotton this
year. Mr.. Jackson planted about SO
acres and he is very much gratified
with the yield. The lint has an ex-
cellent color and the staple is so much
longer and stronger that that Of the
ordinary short staple that the differ
ence is easily detected. Mr.. Jackson
hopes to obtain 18 to 20 cents per
pound for his cotton. He says 1t
does not cost any more to raise the
long staple, although it cannot be gin
ned with an ordinary gin. His ginning
plant is equipped with a special gin
for the long staple and he has ready
market at McColl where the mills use
that variety Of cotton. Mr.. Jackson's
experiments with the long staple cot
ton are being watched with interest
by his neighbors.-Dillon Herald.

ON a request from the governor
who desires the information for the
1913 issue of the Worlds Almanac
the department Of commerce, agri-
culture and industries made an esti-
mate Of the population Of this state
for Januray l, 1913. They estimate
that the population of the state will
be 1,550,430. The actual population
Of the state according to the last
United States census, was 1,515, 400
The estimated increase for two years
will be $1,000 persons. In making the
estimate the department took into
consideration the averages Of in
crease for the two past years and
the general yearly increase. While the
figures are only, and can only be, ap-
proximated, yet they are most prob.
ably correct; for the department has
accurate information as to the popula.
tion increase in the different counties
1t Is only a case Of tabulating the re.
turns of the counties to get an almost
exact number Of inhabitants for the
entire state. An increase Of 5000
persons in the population Of the state
in only two years, evidently shows
that the state is prospering and call
ing immigrants on account Of its ad-
aptability as a place Of habitation and
opportunities.

The State Of Lunaey-During the

They ought to throw bedlam out, u

NAL, Preventing Second Shot.
Chicago, October 15.-The hero Of
the attempted assassination of Col
Roosevelt, the man who is given cred
it for having prevented Schrank from
firing the second shot, is Elbert E.
Martin, the colonels personal steno-
grapher. All through the present
tour Martin has been always at the

In Saginaw, Mich, when Martin threw
himself against a man who was push
ing forward and showed him into a
gutter, he was rebuked by Col. Roose-
welt. Martin declares that the man at
Saginaw and Schrank are the same.
Last night in Milwaukee, Martin was
at the colonels elbow. Henry F.
Cochems was on the other side.
You get into the car first" said
Cochems to Martin as it was customary
for the colonel to take the middle
seat.

The politeness gave him the oppor-
tunity to engrave his name on the role
Of fame for Cochems was out Of reach
when the shot was fired and Martin
was right at hand.
Schrank was within seven feet Of the
colonel when he raised his hand with
the gun in it, levelled at Roosevelt's
breast. He fired. In an instant Mar
tin leaped on him, hurting him to the
ground. One of Martins arms was
twisted around Schrank's neck.
II saw Martin leap on the man like
a wild ANIMAL" said Cochems, who
himself seized the assassin a second
later.
Martin dashed him to the ground,
twisting the mans head back. Mar
tins free hand was grasping the re-
volver around the hammer so that the
weapon could not be fired"
Martin is a former football player
and Schrank was no match for him.
He tried desperately to pull the trig-
ger of his weapon, but Martin held
the barrel pointed harmlessly toward
the sky Cochems and special po
liceman wrenched the gun away from
Schrank and then the angry crowd
surged forward.

Fixing the Evanselists.-An English
clergyman visiting this country tells OF
a bishop in England, who, when new
church in his diocese was to be conse-
Grated, received many letters complain
ing that the architect had disfigured
the interior with useless decoration.
The bishop decided to make an in
spection of the new building, and ac-
cordingly summoned the architect to
meet him there.
The bishop could find nothing wrong
until, just as he reached the chancel
he chanced to catch sight Of four
wooden images apparently guarding
the pulpit
What do those figures representa-
he asked.
The four evangelists."
They appear to be asleep"
do you think so?"
II certainly do"
Whereupon the architect called out
to a man who was at work on one OF
the pews:
Henry, bring your chisel and open
the eyes of the evangelists."

Mystery Still Observation-Disclosures is
still one Of the unsolved mysteries
Medical men thought they had found
the cause in meal made from unripe
or moldy corn. But proof to contrary
recently presented Is pronounced prac-
tically conclusive. At the national
conference on pellagra, just held in
Columbia, progress was reported. Not
alone corn but all the carbohydrates,
1t Is found. increase the tendency to
pellagra. Few physicians now regard
1t as the real cause. The majority are
coming to the belief that it is caused
by distinct germ, though the germ
has not been discovered or isolated.
Like so many medical mysteries. pei
lagra will probably take its place
among the germ diseases. Once the
cause Is discovered there will be hope
for devising a cure. Now in the face
of pellagra, the physician is helpless
