To prepare composite samples for

The Campaign Meetings.

1 attended the two campaign meet
ings at Barnwell and Bamberg, and
desire offering some comment on
what I heard and saw.
It is to be deplored by the entire
people of the glorious Palmetto State
at the manner in which the venerable
old gentleman, Judge Jones, was
jeered, scoffed and derided in his at
tempt to speak at Barnwell. In this
reception we see manifestation of
the deepest ingratitude, and disre-
spect for veneration, and in it a
mark of degeneracy from the once
high standard of this ,county's high
morals, devotion and tradition. This
treatment to Judge Jones naturally
reflects the entire people of Barn
we'll, and this is not fair, for there
were many, l am sure, present, be-
ing Blease supporters, besides Judge
Jones supporters, who desired to
hear him.
l must say in behalf of Bamberg,
my county, that the people heard his
speech entirely, with due credit to
this county. Now and then there
were a few outbreaks of applause
from the Blease supporters, but not
enough to deserve criticism. Also
there was some Jones applause.

DIAMONDS FROM SKY.
s'Blue Stuff said to be Remains of
Vast Meteor.

1t is perhaps not generally known
that the blue stuff" in which dia-
monds are found in South Africa is
the disintegrated and disorganized
mass of a vast meteor that once fell
from the sky. A decomposed meteor
of immense size is reported to have
been found in Arizona. 1t contains
iron, nickel, platinum and diamonds.
1t is supposed to have been, before
it decomposed, 500 feet in diameter
and to have weighed several hundred
million tons. They may be fragments
of comets and finding themselves un-
der the influence of the attraction of
gravitation of our earth fall upon it.
The theory is that their speed may
be as high as forty or fifty miles a
second. If it be a stony meteor it
may be crushed into dust by the air
pressure in front of it. Even if of
iron it may be torn into fragments
as if an explosion had ocurred in
front. If, however, it is a rounded
piece of iron like this lump, then it
would take a tremendous pressure
of the air to crush it, and there is
no doubt whatever that most iron
meteors of rounded form would es-
cape fracture unless they were mov-
ing at the very highest speeds.
At such speeds the air pressure de-
veloped in front of them may blow
them to pieces, but if they are NOV
ing, say one-third as fast, they may,
and probably will, survive unless they
succumb to another action, which
takes place with iron-namely, COM

MOSQUITO BITES FATAL.
Charleston Man Dies as Result of In
sectS' Attack.

Charleston, July ll.-AS a result
of numerous mosquito bites, which
he received in the marshes behind the
Isle of Palms about two weeks ago,
Mr.. John Won Oven, the King street
grocer, died yesterday morning at
the Riverside Infrmary. Mr.. Clar-
ence Fairchild, who was with Mr..
Won Oven, was also badly bitten, and
is i'll at the Riverside Lnfrmary,
though his condition is said not to
be serious. The two men spent the
night in a launch near the Isle Of
Palms two weeks, or more ago, it is
said, but did not feel seriously the
effects of the attacks of the mosqui-
toes until few days ago. Mr.. Won
Ovens death is ascribed to severe
malarial infection.
Mr.. Won Ovens death was a
source of sorrow and regret to his
numerous friends and business as
sociates in this city. He was only 20
years of age, and was man of at
tractive personality and sterling char
acter. He was unmarried. Surviv-
ing are an uncle, Mr. Theodore Won
Oven; an aunt, Mrs. George w. Jatho.
and four cousins.
1t was not by previously made
plans, but through seemingly acci-
dental circumstances that Messrs.
Won Oven and Fairchild spent the
night in the launch behind the Isle
of Palms. The two men, together
with some ladies, had gone to the
Isle of Palms to attend one of the
hops at the pavilion. They made the
trip in a launch, tying the vessel in
one of the small creeks back of the
island. After the dance it was found
that the tide had ebbed, and left the
boat aground. 1t was impossible to
get the craft off at that hour, under
the circumstances, and the ladies
spent the night at the hotel, the men
staying aboard to take care of the
vessel, and to get her afoat at the
first possible opportunity. During
the night the mosquitoes attacked
them in droves, and both men were
badly bitten.
The serious results of the bites did
not become apparent until few days
ago, when the men became i'll, and
were taken to the Riverside Infirm-
ary for treatment. In spite of all
that could be done for him Mr.. Won
Oven died yesterday. The cause of
death is said to be a severe melarial
infection, received from the bites of
these mosquitoes. It is now gen.
orally accepted belief of the medi-
cal profession that malaria can only
be taken into the human system
through the bite of mosquitoes OF a
certain species. The mosquitoes
probably came from the fresh water
swamps in the interior of the island
rather than from the salt marshes
themselves.
At last reports, Mr.. Fairctild was
stated to be getting along nicely, and
it is thought he will be out again in
the near future.

While in the Bath Tub.

Woodrow Wilson was in the bath
tub when the news that Illinois had
gone for him was brought to him.
Important news has a habit OF
catching a man in the bath tub.
For instance, while in the bath tub
yesterday we were:
Wanted at the. telephone twice
Told that man at the front door
had an important message for US;
two collectors requested an audience
with US; neighbor came over to
borrow the lawn mower, and three
times we were asked if we wouldn't
please hurry and go out to stop two
dogs that were fighting on the front
lawn.

man to be in the bath tub when
