Microbes In Humid Air.

According to the researches Of
Messrs. Trillat and Fouassier, pub
lished by the Academic des Sciences,
microbes suspended in the air act as
centers of condensation, when the air
is humid The authors give evidence
of the existence Of microbian drops
in the atmosphere and they have stud
led their properties. One very inter
esting result Is that the sudden cool
ing of the atmosphere has the ef-
feet of transporting the microbes and
localizing them in determinate re-
gions. The cool surfaces attract them
from distance almost simultaneous
ly, the smaller being transported far
ther. These new ideas throw light
upon the genesis Of certain epidemics,
and may be useful in planning the dis
tribution Of inhabited places.

LARGEST CIRCULATION IN
EDGEFIELD COUNTY.
Wednesday, Sept. 9th.
No people were ever better than
their laws, though many have been
worse. e.-PRIESTLY.
Standing Together.

One thing at least is certain, one
thing comes out of the discussion
about cotton and stands clear:
The Southern people, of every
class, profession, trade and station,
will work together for the protec-
tion of the cotton crop.
There is not farmer IN South
Carolina who is more dependent
on cotton than is this newspaper.
To live, the State must have
money in payment for subscriptions
and advertising space. Otherwise,
it can not pay printers and report
ers and buy white paper. Unless
the farmer has the money to pay
for his paper. Tie State must wait
for it, and unless the farmer pays
the business man, the State again
must wait.
In word, all of US are bound to-
gether in this matter.
And we are going to stick to-
gether.
Yesterday The State published
an announcement that each of the
employees of one of the banks of Co.
lumbia would buy a bale of cotton
tomorrow. Their example will be
followed.
So appears the true spirit of
Southern cooperation.
The people will not lose faith in
cotton. The world will not lose faith
in it. One good result will be the
bringing of our people together.
The day of jealousy between
town man and country man is
GONE. One can not stand up
without the other and every rational
and honest man knows it.
Let US keep politics out of the
cotton question. The election TO-
morrow is an election for COVER
nor.
1t is not an election to pass on
the convening of the legislature.
No Man Can Make 1t Anything
But An Election For Governor In

Noses.

The triangular pyramid projecting
from the center Of the face has always
had peculiar interest for me. In In
fancy / used it as a pocket, slowing
therein an occasional bean tilched
from the cooks store; and remember
the stir one such instance occasioned
n the household as well as in me.
when a canny country doctor put his
open mouth to mine and with mighty
blast persuaded the bean to stand not
upon the order of it's exit. Later,
coasting accident left ME with some
nasal vacuity and the ability to run
grassblade up one nostril and down
the other. Thus l became persona
grata at juvenile circuses, the price
Of admission for my performance go
ing all the way up from FIVE pins to
three cents. my profits invariably be-
ing paid in pins, the distaf side, l
suppose, very properly. - Lucy Elliot

Heat From Rain.

Muntz and Gaudechon, French inves-
tigators, have conducted experiments
with reference to the heat impaired to
the soil by rain, which, 1t Is thought,
may play part hitherto unrecognized
in the phenomena of vegetation. 1t
appears that when the soil has reached
a certain degree of dryness the appli-
cation Of moisture produces rise OF
temperature which is greater in pro-
portion to the fneness CT the mate
rials. Coarse, sandy soil is not heated
by contact with moisture, while soil
composed mostly of humus is special
ly subject to such influence.-Popular

Art of Naming Boats.

Individual yachts and launches al
most always carry individual names.
Oftentimes the owner follows the
name of some woman membe.. Of the
family. That practice is common. l
saw one named Julia III, to show that
at some time three Julias had figured
in the family history. Quite the oldest
name l ever saw on little launch Of
a family nature was EEEE. That puz-
zled me for long time. l asked no
questions, preferring to get a solu-
tion. One evening I watched the
pretty boat with party who were
having a good time and the signii-
canoe of the capital Els came to my
mind. 1t meant "Ease."-Cincinnati

How to Detect a Noise

If something happens that an alb
normal noise is heard from the mech
anism Of a motor car or other ma
chine and that it is difficult to find just
what part of it is responsible. In such
cases many skilled mechanics proceed
as follows, and there is no better way:
They take a fat piece Of metal, a fat
file, for example, and place one end Of
it between their teeth, the other end
they apply to the parts Of the machine
that may be suspected, Of course while
ii is in motion. BY stopping the ears
the abnormal sound can be distin-
guished from other noises, and with
little experience the exact point from
which it comes can be discovered.
