How About Mr.. Farmer.

Does your wife leave the sewing
machine out in the yard over night
in a rain storm. The inquiry sounds
absurd, of course, and yet one of our
exchanges puts the matter very forci-
bly, when it compares such an imag-
nary proceeding to what is actually
happening on thousands of Southern
farms. We quote:
What would a man say to his
wife if she were to leave her 500
sewing-machine out in the yard over
night in rain storm? Well, he would
say a plenty if she persisted in leav-
ing it out in the weather. And yet
the same lord of creation has left his
farm machinery standing in t. fence
corner. Many of these cost more
than a sewing machine. What should
your wife, Mr.. Farmer, do to you?
She should get rolling pin after you
and make you house them now. p

Kills -Four Wild Turkeys.

Albany, Ca, Oct. 25.-That the
new state game laws have operated
to increase various kinds of game
birds in this section has been made
evident in many ways lately, but in
10 more striking manner that the
killing of four wild turkeys by a
Central of Georgia passenger train
near Walker Station, in this county,
yesterday.
A drove said to contain eleven
turkeys was nestled beside the rail-
road track in a swampy place when
the train approached. Startled by
the noise of the train. the turkeys
ran across the track just ahead Of
the locomotive, which killed four of
them, throwing them clear of the
track. The engineer stopped the
train and the dead turkeys were ta-
ken possession of by members of the
train crew. A travelling man, whose
name could not be learned, got eX-
cited and chased the fleeing remain
der of the flock into the woods and
the train went off without him.

ORIGIN OF OIL 4 MYSTERY.
Even Those Who Own Wells Don't
Know Much About 1t.

Great fortunes in the United
States have been made in oil, yet no
one has been able to determine the
origin of this wonderful fluid which
now is an absolute necessity to man
kind said T. G. Postle, of Pitts
burgh, who is a guest at the Willard.
This product, which commercially
is known as petroleum, was not utll-
lied in the United States until 1859,
when the production amounted to g.
600 barrels, and practically all this
was used for medicinal purposes. AS
is we'll known, Pennsylvania and
New York were the oil-producing
states up to 1875, the output for the
entire United States amounting to
but 100000 barrels during the
first sixteen years, and this was dur
ing the great oil excitement days.
The annual production now runs
up to more than 200, 100000 barrels,
and the demand exceeds the produc-
ton, which explains why oil has ad-
vanced in price more than 100 per
cent during the last eighteen months.
1t was thought at one time that
petroleum belonged to the fossil or
carboniferous family; later on scien-
fists claimed that it came from vege-
tation, and today the opinion is that
petroleum comes from animal matter.
There has been but little production
of late, and an exaggerated opinion
has become prevalent over the Mexi-
can output because some big gushers
have been struck in that country.
The trouble with most of the Mexican
wells is that you are apt to lose one
over night, and the man who has a
20-barrel producer on Wednesday
may wake up Thursday morning and
find he has dry hole. There is a
peculiar underground floating sand
in Mexico which shuts in producing
wells and makes production in that
country very uncertain. Oklahoma
is the state for the highest grade oil
and California for the fuel oil, but
where the start comes from beats
me. "-Washington Post.

Saving the Waits.

A story is told Of a man in this
section who has son who is deep
thinker and somewhat experimental.
In the past he has carefully watched
his father as he would partly smoke
a cigar and then place the remain
Ger in the ash tray, hours later to
pick up the cigar and finish it..
Sometimes the father would have
two or three butts" awaiting his
pleasure. His son took deep inter-
est in the matter. Not long ago the
smoker picked a partially smoked
cigar from his ash tray and lighted
it. The boy watched with more in
terest than usual. and remarked a
few minutes later: Papa is that a
good one?"
Yes, that's a fine one" remarked
the satisfied father.
To this his son replied: Il thought
you would like that one. I picked
it up in front of the Methodist
church. ."-Sodus Record.

DISASTROUS FIRE IN SUMTER.
Door, Sash and Blind Factory De-
stroyed-Loss $4,000.

Sumter, Oct. 26.-In the most dis
astrous fire which has visited Sum-
ter in several years Mckeiver's door,
blind aHd sash factory was almost
totally destroyed by fire this morn
ing, causing loss estimated at $780,
OOG, with only $4,000 insurance to
cover it. The boiler house and ware
house were the only parts Of the
plant which escaped the fire.
Starting shortly after I o'clock in
the factory building, the fire had
made great headway before hose
wagons and steamer arrived. AS
there was a great deal of paints and
oils in the building, and shavings
and sawdust were scattered around
on the floor of the building, which
! was an old one. and as dry as tlnder
inside, the fire burnt rapidly and
fiercely, the heat being intense. The
firemen found the fire a hard one to
fight and a harder one to check.
Several sections of hose burst when
the steamer was coupled on and this
caused considerable delay in throw
ing water on the fire. At the same
time because of an inadeq1 .acy of
hose, the water supply was not sufti-
cient to stem the raging flerceness of
the fire.
For an hour the fire laddies fought
bravely, but hopelessly, the oddsWere
against them and they were unable
to check the fire, although they pre-
vented it spreading to other neigh
boring buildings. At the end of the
hour they saw the building totally
burned up, the bent and mangled
machines and machinery sticking up
here and there amid the ruins.
Although everything in the build
ing was lost, tools, machinery, sup
plies, Mr.. J. w. Mckeiver, the owner
and proprietor of the factory, stated
this morning that while his loss was
heavy chiefly for the men who had
been employed, who had lost their
lobe and their tools at one stroke.
Mr.. MckeKiver besides operating the
factory is a contractor and former
member of City Council. He stated
that the loss was estimated by him
to be $4,000. The insurance, he
stated, was only nominal, being
around $4,000. Most of this loss
is taken up in the cost of the ma
chinery, scores of valuable machines
having been practically totally ruin
ed. All of the material and newly
manufactured goods in the. drying
house was burned.
McKeiver's factory was one OF the
energetic young businesses of the
city and had been doing fine trade,
bringing thousands of dollars into
Sumter every year, and its loss means
big loss to the town, as well as to
Mr.. McKeiver. However, it is prob
able that as soon as he can get mat
ters adjusted, Mr.. McKeiver will
make plans for the erection of an
other plant.
The buildings which were Destroy
ed were old ones, formerly used by
the railroad as warehouses, but which
were owned by the city. They were
possibly valued at $1,000. The land
is owned by the railroad and will
now be open to them to build on if
they choose to do so.

DICE Of the People


10 the Editor OF The Times Dispatch:
Sir.-l have noticed lately that the
east side of Ninth street. along Capitol
fark, seems To have been pre- -cmptled
by rollers skaters. who have made for
themselves double -skatcd continuance
on which they roll down the hill at top
most speed. TO the utter disregard Of
pedestrians. and strange to say this
thing has boeu going on for some time
right in the heart of the business sec
Uon of the city, with policemen on
almost every street corner. and yet no
effort has been made TO stop it I
could dare any lady to undertake TO
wheel a baby carriage on that walk
tand Vet she has 4 perfect right To do
SOD. for ii would be at her peril
And while am writing on this sub
ject. would like TO inquire who is
responsible for all tn, roller skating
or the sidewalks anyway? The cement
walks are being ruined by chipping IN
the seams, and some streets are turn
cd into a perfect bcCllam OF confusion.
only recently | passed through n resi-
Dental street at II O'Clock l.. NJ. and
there were still six roller skaters on
the walk which. know, was not very
pleasant music for those who were try
ing TO sleep and the worst feature
of il is. one Of them was q girl. and
her conduct was rs bosterous as that
CT the boys.
If boys and girls must have roller
skates. they should provide themselves
cor be provided with) n proper place
for the sport, and not be allowed TO
convert the walks into a rollcr-rink.

To the Editor of The Times Dispatch
Sir,-Sceing several letters lately in
your paper about protecting and pre-
serving the salt water fish that every
spring come into fresh water 10
spawn. viz, shad. herring. white perch.
rock fish etc. / believe it is important
10 remember that the natural instincts
Of these fish are to ascend the fresh
water streams as far as they can go
Take the James River for instance
Up to the carly eighty's. before the
James River and Kanawha Canal was
built with it's attendant dams. these
fish used To ascend the James in great
numbers as far as Buchanan. IN Bote-
tourt County. and formed an important
supply OF food for the farmers and
residents along the James River If
these fish were allowed to get by the
nets and traps spread at the mouth Of
the river, and, if the law requiring
fish ladders to be placed on the dams
be enforced, there is no reason why
they would not ascend the James as
Of old. IT is now impossible for those
fish 10 get by the dams ut Richmond.
and if any did get by here, they would
not get by the dam at the Nine Mile
Locks CBoschers DAM. There is
fish ladder at this dam, but IL has not
been used in the last twenty years
or more. If something is not done
soon. there will not be any Of these
fish left.
Yours truly,
