Their First Names.
(New York Globe.D

Mr.. Knox, Secretary of State in
Taft's cabinet, was formerly engaged
in the practice Of law in Pittsburgh.
One day, says a friend, Mr.. Knox
was put out to find on his arrival at
his office that everything was topsy-
turvy and that the temperature was
much too low for comfort. Summon
ing his office boy, lad only recently
entered in his employ, the lawyer
asked who had raised every window
in the place on such a cold morning.
"Mr. Muldoon, SIR" was the an
swer.
"Who is Mr.. Muldoon?" asked the
attorney.
"The janitor, SIR
who carried off my waste bas-
ket?' was the next question.
"Mr. Reilly, SIR"
"And who is Mr.. Reilly?"
Hes the man that cleans the
rooms"
Mr.. Knox looked sternly at the boy
and said: "See here, Richard, we
call men by their first names here.
We don't mister them in this office.
Do you understand?
Yes, sir" and the boy retired.
In few minutes he reappeared,
and in shrill, piping voice an
nounced:
There's gentleman that wants
to see you, Philander."

BANDITS HOLD UP FAYsLAsTRI,
At Point of ReVolvers They Secure
Sum of $4,000.

Parr Shoals, S. c., Sept. 5.-Pay-
master III. w, Maher, Assistant Cash
ier Fred Boatman and Deputy Sheriff
Joyner, Of the j. G. White Construo-
ton Company, were held up by three
armed bandits shortly after Q o'clock
this afternoon. and robbed Of $16.-
900, which had been sent there from
a Columbia bank to be used in the
pay roll of the 1900 employees OF
the company. The latter was shot,
but not seriously injured. Three
men, each armed with two revolvers
covered" the paymaster and his as
sociates soon after the money had
been taken from the express car at
the railroad station. Deputy Joyner
attempted to resist the highwaymen
and was shot, the bullet entering the
fieshy part of his side. The others,
seeing the result of resistance and
being unarmed themselves, were
forced at the point Of six revolvers
to give up the bags containing the
money. The three bandits escaped
into the woods and at 4 o'clock this
afternoon searching parties are scour-
ing the country in every direction.
The immense power plant now being
constructed has been ordered shut
down in order to have all the men
possible available for the hunting
parties. Bloodhounds, several depu.
ties and members Of the Columbia
police force, all heavily armed, left
Columbia at 4 o'clock this afternoon
to take up the trail of the bandits.

UNFAIR TO THE DRUGGIST.
The Old Joke About "Something just
As Good" Doesn't Apply to
This Drug store.

You have probably heard dozens
OF times the old story that a drug
store was a place to get something
just as good" There Is at least one
druggist in the world that you can't
say this about.
1t Is certain that an inferior arti-
Gle will never be substituted for
guaranteed one by Bells drug store.
Take, for instance, sale, reliable
remedy for constipation and liver
trouble like Dodson's Liver Tone.
This harmless vegetable liquid has
proved so satisfactory q liver stimu-
liant and reliever Of biliousness, and
TO entirely take the place Of calomel
without any danger or restriction of
habits or diet. that there are dozens
OF preparations springing up with
imitat >1s Of its claims.
But. odson's Liver Tone Is guar
anteed to do all that Is claimed for
it,, and If you are not satisfied with
it Bells Drug Company will hand
your money back with a smile. Anv
person going to this store for a bot.
tie of Dodson's Liver Tone will be
sure of getting large bottle of this
genuine remedy in exchange for his
naif dollar. adv.

RRGEAGRA PUZZLES soRNgqsgs.
Little Known of the Disease After
Two Years Of Research.

Spartanburg, Sept. AFTER two
years of research by a corps Of twen-
ty scientists, the Thompson-M McFad-
den Pellagra Commission still is ig-
norant Of the cause Of the disease.
This was announced by DR.. Ward j.
McNeal, of the New York Post Grad
uate Hospital, member Of the COM
mission, at conference here of Sou
thern physicians.
Nearly 200 physicians, students of
the disease, were here for the con-
ference. They came from nearly
every Southern State.
Summary OF Findings.
DR.. McNeal summarized the COM
missions findings thus:
First: The supposition that the
ingestion Of food or spoiled maize Is
the essential cause of pellagra is not
supported by our study
Second: Pellagra is in all proba-
bility a specific infectious disease
communicable by means at present
unknown.
Third: We have discovered no
evidence discriminating buffalo gnats
in the causation Of pellagra. If it is
distributed by a blood-sucking insect,
the stable fly would appear to be the
most probable carrier
Fourth: We are inclined to re-
gard intimate association in the
household and the contamination of
food with the excretions of pellagrins
as possible modes of distribution of
the disease.
Fifth: No specific cause Of pei
lagra has been recognized"
Although none of the assembled
physicians was able to suggest a spe-
cific remedy for the disease, DR.. c..
II. Lavinder, Of the public health
service, Savannah, Ga, declared
"If you remove a pellagrin in the
early stages Of the disease from the
endemic locality of the disease, put
him in better surroundings and give
him plenty Of good, nourishing food,
regardless Of treatment, he will get
well and stay we'll. In view Of the
high mortality Of pellagra and the
pessimistic feeling in regard to it.,
this should be a comforting thought
to us. 1t should also be comforting
that pellagra is not directly trans
missible from one person to another"

STRIKING FACTS ABOUT SOIL.
Heat Penetrates Only Three Feet, and
Some Is Warmer Than Other.
(London Tit-Bits.

How far does the heat of the full
summers sun penetrate into the
ground?
Probably not one person in ten
will give an answer that is even ap-
proximately correct. Their replies
generally vary from one inch to many
hundreds of feet. Actually, the dist
ance is about three feet. Beyond
this depth the temperature Of the
soil does not vary appreciably from
hour to hour, let the midday be never
SO hot and the midnight never so
cold. At this depth the mean tenn
peTature in the summer Is about 58
degrees Fahrenheit, and in the win
ter about SO degrees Fahrenheit.
And the annual difference? That
Is to say, the depth at which there is
some difference between the sum-
mer temperature and that Of the
winter? Well, at a depth of sixty
feet 1t is impossible to measure any
change due to the changing seasons
overhead. Go down only 40 feet,
and 1t is minute-barely measure
Bile. But at 25 feet to 80 feet it is
quite a definite amount.
The surface heat takes long
while to penetrate downward. In
fact, curiouSly enough, the change in
temperature Of the ground takes just
more than six months to reach the
end of it's 20foot journey. Thus, we
are faced with the phenomenon of
midsummer upon the surface occur
ring at the same time as midwinter
% feet to 80 feet down, and vice
versa.
AS most people are aware, the
temperature increases with the
depth. At feet down the average
annual mean is just short of is de-
greeS Fahrenheit, while at % feet
it is just over a degree more, that is,
AZ degrees Fahrenheit.
In agricultural districts you will
hear farmers in the same village
talking about "cold" soils and
warm" soils. This, although it
sounds improbable to those who have
never had anything to do with the
land, is an actual fact.
Everybody knows, from personal
experience, THAT black clothes are
hotter to wear when a hot summers
sun Is shining than white ones, hence
the flannels for men and the white
frocks for girls. The reason for this
Is that black and other dark colors
absorbE heat, while white and the
lighter shades reflect 1t. And this
applies to soils equally with clothes.
These soils which by their ingredi-
ents are a darker color are literally
warmer than their lighter neighbors.
Peaty soils, some of which are nearly
niack, others q rich, dark brown, are
the warmest. Light-colored clays
and chalk the coldest. There may
be as much as II degrees or 16 de-
greeS Fahrenheit between the tenn

PAINLESS WHEAT GROWN
ON AFRlCA'S ARID PLAINS.
Moisture Saving Fallows Make Asri-
culture Possible In Continent.

What seems one Of the most wonder
ful and fruitful discoveries OF the
world, say dispatches from London,
was announced and described by Mr..
Macdonald. In a lecture at the Royal
ColQnial institute reoenty.N A few
yedy ago IL was, uniuRssally> believed
that in the drysbeif n SbhtHS Africa
agriculture was tiSd tosthe water fur
row. This meant n few cultivated
patches islanded In a desert. In fact.
tens OF thousands OF acres are today
carrying crops in the dry district with
no help from irrigation. We quote the
lecturers words:
America has grown wheat on an
eight inch rainfall Australia has
grown wheat on five inch rainfall, but
we in South Africa have grown rain
less wheat That is to say that dur
ing the last season In Lichtenburg.
which is In the dry zone Of the Trans
vaal, we have grown wheat without
a single drop OF rain falling upon IL
from seed time until harvest. This Is
the Durum wheat apulia, which we
originally introduced from the dry belt
of Italy.
Our success has been due to the use
OF what we term moisture saving fall
lows The great problem Of South
African agriculture Is not the problem
Of fertility. 1t is the problem OF the
conservation OF moisture.
I'VE have now solved that problem
and made possible the immediate set
Element Of our dry or arid lands. But
the triumphs OF science as applied 10
agriculture In South Africa are not
confined 10 the discovery OF rainess
wheat. The locusts, which have
plagued the land for ages. are today
kept under control. The progress OF
the insect invaders. which from the
days OF the pharaohs TIL yesterday was
regarded as irresistible as fate, can to-
day be easily checked by means OF ar
