BOOKS HE WOULD SELECT
Author Gives His List of Reading
Matter for DwelIer Encamped
on Desert Island.

What ten books would you select
for course of reading if you were
placed on desert island? No time
should be lost in compiling the list, be-
cause there are only a few desert
islands left. Here, for example, not of
islands, but of books, is the list &C.
lected by William Caine, the novelist,
author of 'But She Meant Well"
II. The Bible, because 1t Is book
that have always meant to read. 2.
Gibbons, because there is such lot of
it. 8. Rabelais, that I might laugh. 4.
Don Quixote,' that I might weep. 5.
'Bouvard ct Pechuchet,' because this
is one side of France. 6. Carlyle's
French Revolution, because this is
the other. Z. 'Wahrheit und Dichtung,'
because here I have Germany. 8.
Arabian Nights because this is the
East. 9. Tom JONES' because this is
England as Fielding saw it. 10. The
New Foresters,' because this Is Eng
land as my wife saw it."

Poland Not Wild and DesoIate,

The prevalent impression in the
west that the operations in Poland
have been conducted in wild and des-
olate country Is curiously wide Of the
truth Poland is now more densely
populated than any other part of Rus
sia, and the towns which have figured
in the recent dispatches are centers
of thriving industry. Radon, now
out of sound Of the guns, has
large tanneries and distilleries, Ka.
lisz, through which big German col
umn passed to relieve the pressure In
the center, is famous for lace and
embroideries Every little town around
which the fighting has ragged has its
own mills, chiefly textile. Poland is
rich in minerals, and its coal field is
of considerable extent. 1t Is not neces-
sary to cross into Silesia to find either
factories or Germans engaged In rum
ming them. II Russia could have
saved Poland from invasion we may
be sure she would have done So

FATAL ROW AT NEGRO CHURCH,
One Dead, Three Wounded--.AN
Caused by Liquor.

Brunson, May 4:-As the result
of a general row at Cherry Grove
church on Sunday, where large con-
gegations of negroes frequently as.
semble, five persons were conveyed
to the county Jail in Hampton, while
one has died, another is mortally
wounded and one or two others are
shot up.
1t appears that whiskey was pref
ty freely INDUCED in. then a row
began in the church yard and the
shooting followed. Result: Buddy
Cope, young man, is dead, John
Davis is probably mortally wounded
and Henry Davis, his father, is
wounded seriously in the shoulder
and head. Jerry Bowers, Jake Bow
ers, and GULLY Bowers were arrest
ed as particeps criminis, Julius
Caesar Smith was arrested, charged
with selling the stuff that seems to
have caused the row; Henry Davis,
wounded. is charged with the kill
ing, which, it is said, he admits, but
claims self-defence.

Crops Not Affected by Moon.

Scientistsare now convinced that the
moon has no more influence on crops
than it has upon the temperature, the
amount of rain, the wind or any
other weather element. The growth
of plants depends upon the amount
of food in the soil and in the air
that is available for them and upon
temperature. light, and moisture.
The moon obviously does not affect
the character of the soil in any way,
neither does it affect the compost
ton of the atmosphere. The only
remaining way in which it could in
fluence plant growth. therefore, is
by its light. Recent experiments,
however, show that full daylight is
about 100000 times brighter than
full moonllght,yet when a plant gets
1-1OOth part of normal daylight it
thrives little better than in absolute
darkness. If 1.l0Oth part of normal
daylight is thus too little to stimu-
late plant, is seems quite certain
that'a 600,0OOth part can not have
any affect at all. 1t is therefore q
mere waste of time to think about
the moon in connection with the
planting of crops. The moon, say
the scientists, has nothing more to
90 with this than it has to do with
the building of fences, the time for
killing hogs, or any other of the in
Vulnerable things over which it was
once supposed to exert a strong in
f1uence.

ARE ALWAYS ON THE WATCH
How sattIcships at Sea Keep Informed
Of the Whereabouts Of an
! Enemy's Fleet.

Every battleship at sea has its
wireless installation adjusted so that
it can send and receive signals and
messages to other squadrons at sea
or in harbor and to stations ashore.
One ship is always in direct touch
with the admiralty, whence the latest
information received at headquarters
from all parts of the world is immedi-
ately transmitted to the feet, while
each of the other ships composing the
fleet is similarly responsible for some
particular station ashore or for a
cruiser squadron or flotilla Of torpedo
boat destroyers.
For the purpose of obtaining infor-
nation as to the whereabouts of the
enemy and guarding against surprises
wireless telegraphy is, of course, inval-
liable, says the Wireless World Uon-
dom. A great number Of cruisers are
sent out ahead and spread a number
of miles across. The duty Of these
ships is to keep a thorough lookout
and report to the ship in the battle
feet looking out on their particular
wavelength. This ship, in turn, re-
ports by semaphore or Morse-lamp to
the admiral of the battle feet. The
cruisers are sometimes assisted by
torpedo boat destroyers. Now, If 80
of these ships are used it will be read
lily seen that the area of their vision
is enormous, and it would be almost
impossible for fleet to pass unob-
served. Immediately any Of the ships
sight the enemy's squadron they would
report at once by wireless, stating the
number of ships sighted, with their
speed, latitude and longitude, etc. The
admiral would then give his orders,
also by wireless.

Where Home EoIks Come First.

In Chicago men who need work are
being given blue tickets. These tick
cts identify the holders as bona tde
residents of Chicago. The object Is to
give needy Chicagoans first call on
jobs and charity and to shut out an
army of drifters who crowd into the
city in the cold months to live on
charity. OF course, the blue tickets
do not doom to starvation all strang
ers who reach Chicago in a starving
condition. They simply insure pref
erence to Chicagoans when aid Is ex'
tended and discourage the professional
hoboes.

Crushed Stone Industry.

Crushed stone is the largest factor
of the stone industry In the United
States. Figures showing the value OF
crushed stone were first published by
the United States Geological Survey
In 1898 and amounted to $4,031, ,445'
BY 1913 the output was valued at over
$31, 100000. Of late years stone
crushed for making concrete has
largely taken the place of building and
foundation stone.

$40, 600. 900 Loss on Cotton.

In The Progressive Farmer of No
vember 9, 1912, we published an
editorial article, "A $3OO,0O0,00
Robbery: the Serial Story of
Crime" In that article we took up
the cotton crop of 1911 and traced
the course of prices from start to
finish.
On August IL, 1911, just before
the new 1911 crop began to come in,
as we pointed out, our market re-
ports quoted middling cotton at 134
cents a pound.
By September 80, when the far
mers began to sell, it had dropped
to lot cents.
In October prices went to 9 11-16
cents.
November 18 quotations were 81
cents.
And farmers who were only able
to hold out till Christmas-time were
forced to sell at g. cents.
ay New Years, of course, most
of the poorer farmers had sold, and
prices in January climbed back to
ST cents.
In February they went to 10s.
In March to 10 1916.
In April to II cents.
May to IL cents.
In August to 12a cents.
In other words, August prices rep
resented an advance of nearly $780,
00O, 900 over the low prices of Christ
mas-time-an advance that went
largely into the hands of the specu-
lative and commercial classes instead
Of going to the men whose brain
and muscle made the crop.
We have now suffered a similar
experience with the 1914 crop. The
prices few months ago were only
six to seven cents q pound for mid
ding cotton; now nine to ten cents.
On a crop of 100000 bales of
500 pounds each (the United States
Government estimate) three cents
pound increase in price represents
an advance of s241 ,530,O in total
values. In other words, since the
cotton crop of 1914 largely passed
out of the hands of the men who
grew it, its value has advanced
nearly a quarter of a billion dol
lars-an advance which, like that Of
three years ago. has largely gone
into the pockets Of merchants, land
lords, and SPECTATORS, instead Of
producers.-Progressiue Farmer.

CHILDREN BITTEN BY PET OTTER
Little Animal Infuriated Uses
Teeth and Claws Until Killed.

of most unusual accident child
of Mr. William Palmer, of this city,
has been fearfully wounded and two
other little fellows less seriously
hurt. The children were bitten by
a pet otter, the property of Mr. j G
Lowrimore, a neighbor. The child
most seriously hurt was bitten about
the face and neck and on the ankle.
Well-nigh an entire cheek is bitten
off, the nose badly cut and the scalp
badly lacerated.
Yesterday afternoon the little
Palmer children went to the home
of Mr. Lowrimore and asked that
Mr. Lowrimore's little son take the
otter, which was pet, down to a
nearby pond and entertain them
with his antics in the water. This
was done and the little animal swan
and played in the water, chasing
crawfsh. Finally he was called
from the water. and as is his prac-
tice after bathing, he ran to one of
the little children and rubbed him
self against the child's leg to dry
! himself. The child became fright
ened and caught hold of the animal,
MASKING him to the ground. This
infuriated the otter and he bit the
little fellow. The other children
then attacked the animal and he
fought most furiously. He buried
his sharp teeth in the child's cheek.
Another child caught the otter's tail
and pulling strongly, pulled away
most of the cheek. In the fight all
of the children were badly bitten
except the Lowrimore child, his
little master. Strange to say, the
otter refused to attack this little
fellow, although he was fighting as
vigorously as the other children.
Finally word was carried to Mr.
Lowrimore. who hastened to the
scene of the battle, and seeing the
lacerated children, caught up his
pet and killed him.
This otter was known by nearly
all Georgetown people. A year ago
Mr. Lowrimore's son was fishing in
Whites creek, near the city, and
caught three of these rare animals.
He was fishing with bob, and on
seeing the little otters in the water
caught them by thrusting the hooks
of the bob into their bodies. All of
the animals died but one. This was
taken home and trained to do many
tricks. He developed remarkable
intelligence. He would follow his
master to the office of the Clyde
Line, where Mr. Lowrimore is en-
ployed, and spend the day about the
office very much as would pet dog.
He was an object of much interest
to everybody. He was very affec-
tionate and his attachment to the
little son of Mr. Lowrimore, who at
tempted to protect the Palmer chill
dren, was striking. Some time ago
this little fellow was sick, and dur
ing his confinement to his bed the
otter insisted on staying in bed with
him all the time. Every morning it
was the otter's practice to 20 into
the child's room and get in his bed
before the child arose. A special
mark of attachment was his refusal
to fight this little fellow while in
furiated by the attacks of the
Palmer children.
The otter had grown to more than
four feet in length and was richly
furred. Mr. Lowrimore attached a
value of several hundred dollars to
his rare pet and was greatly grieved
to be forced to kill him.
