Balloon Man Couldn't Cut
Loose.

The Lincolnton News
The balloon ascension on last
Thursday afternoon proved very
exciting to the crowd of sp ecta-
tors who were present when tine
aviator took his flight to the
clouds. All went we'll with the
ascension until the aviator soar
ed up to the clouds, and then he
discovered that it would cost
him perhaps, his life if he cut
loose from the balloon rs was the
usual custom. The ropes con-
Meeting the balloon and para
chute had become twisted, and
according to the aviator to cut
loose when the ropes are not
straight will interfere with the
opening of the parachute and
the aviator would drop to the
ground and meet death. The
aviator knew if he cut loose he
would likely meet death, and he
also knew that if he stuck to the
balloon he would perhaps meet
the same fate. So he decided to
stick to the balloon. After travel
ing about a mile in a northerly
direction the balloon began to
come down from the high alti-
tude and gradually neared the
ground, gaining speed as the gas
in the balloon escaped. The
aviator landed in a tree and es-
capped unhurt from his exciting
experience.

Soil Survey Chesterfield COUNTY

Soh SuEVey chesterfield County
AT the present time the United
States Department of Agriculture
is making soil survey of this
county. This work comes under
the direction of the Bureau of
Soils and is being carried on bv
a corpse of soil experts from
that office.
To map the soil of this county
IT IS necessary to make a COM
plete base map showing roads,
railroads, streams, churches.
school houses, houses and bridq-
es. Upon this map is sketched
the boundaries of the different
classes of soils recognized by the
Bureau of Soils. A soil auger
40 inches long is used for ascer-
tanning the character of the SUBJ
soil. Representative samples of
each type are collected and ship
ped to Washington for analysis.
The work in this county was
started in November and over
half of the county has been COW
cred. Thirty-two separate and
distinct soil types have been rec
ognlzed and mapped in this
county and and a few more types
will in all probability be encoun-
tered before the area is finished
The map will be issued on a
scale of one inch to one mile.
and will be accompanied by a
report in bulletin form. The re-
port will give general descrip-
ton of the county; brief de-
scription of the climatic condi-
lions; a large chapter upon the
agricultural conditions; a chapter
devoted to the general discussion
OF the soils from a poin of form
alton and geology. Following
this will be description of each
soil type. This will give the De-
iar characteristics of each
the crop adaptions, cultural
4Othess-and fertilizer reuu;re-
ments. The report will be con-
cluded by a summary reviewing
the salient points and also con-
clusions based upon the investi-
cations of the soils of the county.
The soil survey of this county
is part of scheme to cover the
entire United States with such
surveys. AT the present time
abou half the counties in state
have been covered by surveys.
The survey in this county was
secured through the efforts of
the Board of Trade of the city of
Cheraw, the officials of Clemson
College and the experiment sta
ton and the congressman from
this district, Hon. D. E. Finley
and to Hon. A. F. Lever, chair
man of the agricultural commit
tee of the house of representa-
tiveS.
The reports will be ready for
distribution within six or eight
months and can be secured from
the congressman from this dis
trict or from either of the United
States senators.
The work in this county is
being carried on by Messrs. w.
]. Latimer, M. w. Beck and ].
M. Snyder.

IHes0ie - Uue, it must be tfue
jail of it or else we do not accept
any of it. Now if man tells
you an absolute falsehood and
you find out that he lied even in
one instance then you are ready
to doubt his word after that at
any time, You are never sure
that any thing he tells you is
true and SO with the Bible we
must accept it all as true or re-
iect it all.
Now if we accept it as true,
then we must of necessity be-
lieve all it teaches. Well the first
thing that Mr.. Russell denies is
the divinity of Christ. He says
he was a perfect man but not
divine. Our Bible says he was
divine. He was the son of God,
If he was not the son OF God
then we are all of us still dead in
sin because no mortal man can
or ever could take away our sin
be he ever so good and pure,
even the angels them selves
could not do that. Then if Christ
be not divine we are miserable
beings in most deplorable con-
ditjon with no hope in this world
or the next. There is an Incl
dent that fully explains the diff
ference in divine Saviour and
good teacher of morals. A
poor woman lay dying, she had
led wretched life full of sin and
shame. She knew that the end
was near and she saw herself a
sinner condemned in the sight
OF God, sinner lost without
hope; so she sent and requested
some preachers to come and
help her, the nearest one was a
Unitarian; MN who had been
preaching for years and holding
up Christ before the world as an
example worthy to be followed.
A man who if we would do
what he taught we would be
saved but no more than a man.
So he came and sat by the bed
side of the poor woman, and be-
gan telling her how she must
live. how she must follow the
example of the man Christ Jesus
and she would be saved. 20"
she said Its too late now /
am going to die, cannot live to
initiate Christ, o its too late, too

late; what must l do?" So the
preacher says right then and
there he saw his mistake. He
saw that Christ must be divine
saviour to save those who came
to him in the eleventh hour as
he had said he would do. He
saw him as a being who could
forgive sins and save to the
uttermost all who would come
unto him and to that poor dying
woman he preached his first real
sermon. He told her of a divine
Saviour who would cleanse her
