TOBACCO AT BRANCHV1LLE.
About 100 Acres Planted, and Ware
house Will Be Built.

The raising of tobacco is being at
tempted again in this county with
very good success in the vicinity of
Branchville. Several farmers in that
section of the county have under
taken the growing of this plant. and
they have been so successful that it
is understood that a warehouse is to
be erected at Branchville and buy
er is to be at Branchville at the open
ing of the season, about month
from this time.
According to reports received from
the Branchville section, something
like one hundred acres have been
planted in tobacco by progressive
farmers. The crop is now in excel
lent shape and promises to make a
big yield. The crop is almost ready
to gather, and barns will be provid-
ed for the curing of the crop. AS
soon as this has been done it will be
ready for market. For the market
ing of the crop a company has been
organized to erect large warehouse,
and buyers will be in Branchville to
take the crop as soon as it is ready
for market.
This is the first time that an at
tempt at raising tobacco on so -g-
scale has been made in this county
since something like twelve or fif-
teen years ago. At that time num-
Der of farmers throughout the county
undertook to raise the crop, but were
not very successful. Since the Euro
pean war, the necessity for more
money crops in the South has been
demonstrated, and in addition to the
large quantity of grain planted, an
other attempt at tobacco was consid-
cred wise.
If the attempt at Branchville
proves as successful as it now prom
ises, it is expected that next year
will see a considerably larger number
Of acres in this crop, and from year
to year the crop will be enlarged
until it will be equally as important
as cotton.-Orangeburg Evening

USE NO STOVES.
Latin-Americans Get Along Chiefly
With Charcoal.

With Charcoal.
sincerely doubt if in an of Latin
America one would find hundred
cook stoves of the kind the average
family in the United States has In
the kitchen. Neither are there many
oil or gasolene stoves, writes w. E.
Aughinbaugh, in Leslie's Weekly. A
few of the hotels, restaurants, baker
les and homes of the very wealthy IN
such cities as Buenos Aires, Rio de
Janeiro, Montevideo, Santiago, Val
paraiso and Lima may posses ranges,
but they come from France.
Cooking for families as we'll as for
other purposes is chiefly done with
charcoal. the pots, pans and kettles
resting over a hole in backed clay
or cement shelf underneath which
are the glowing Goals. While this is
rather primitive it answers the pur-
pose and is especially advantageous
in that it gives off but little heat
Another reason for the charcoal
stove is the scarcity of coal deposits
throughout Latin-America. With
the exception of Mexico, Peru and
southern Argentina, Uruguay and
Peru have a few peat bogs, such
as one sees in Ireland, but they are
difficult of access and consequently
of use only to the people in their i'm
mediate vicinity. Plenty Of fast
growing trees and bushes. however
are found almost everywhere and
from these the native charcoal burn
ers make the fuel so much in de-
mand. taking it to market either on
their own backs or on burros. Fami'
lies buy sack at time, and poorer
people a handful, which is sufficient
to cook their simple meal. The cook
starts the fire by pouring over the
chunks of charcoal a little kerosene
before applying lHe HdlCH.
In the hotels and fine homes cook
ing utensils are generally of copper
In other places they are. as a rule
crude, simple and few. Many earth
enware pans and crooks Of loca'
make are employed. l do not know
what these countries would do with
out the five-gallon tins in which the
Standard Oil company ships its pro-
duct. The buying and selling OF
these containers is a regular bust
ness. They serve a variety of pur-
poses and one or more is to be
found in every kitchen.

Concerning the Spoilers.

Confident Of his ability to spell
correctly all the words in his ordi-
nary English vocabulary. a business
man in Fort Wayne, Ind, has a
standing offer to pay his secretary
81 each for every word found in his
manuscripts incorrectly spelled ac-
cording to the Detroit Free Press.
There may or may not be many will
ing to make such an offer, for good
and sufficient reasons, some Of which
are worth little brief consideration.
In the first place, ability to spell
correctly large number Of words is
due of course to careful initial educa-
tiona1 training in the origins, compo-
sition, meanings and structures of
words. But it must be admitted that
it is more than this It may be said
to be a faculty or gift. For some
highly educated persons are indiffer-
ent spoilers. Some years ago the
head of a widely known middle-west
institution Of learning. a man IA
milar with four or five languages
and many branches of learning, was
notoriously poor in spelling, so much
so that printers were always warned
to watch carefully when handling his
manuscript. Spelling is not constant!
That is, there are many changes as
the years go by in the spelling of va
rious words. So, however we'll equip
ped educationally one may. be, or
however we'll developed ones spell
ing faculty may be. it is absolutely
necessary to be a wide, constant read
er to keep pace with the fashions in
this respect.

AT HOME FOR SIXTY YEARS.
Sisters Have Spent All Their Lives
on Georgia Farm.

In the year 1885 T. NJ. Mckleduff
packed his belongings and with his
wife and children left his South Caro-
lima home and emigrated to Georgia.
He settled on farm miles from
what was at that time a broad place
in the road, but what is now Winder,
the proud, hustling little business
centre of North Georgia. OF a fami-
ly of seven all are dead but two girls.
These two girls have never married,
never been ten miles from the place
upon which old man Mckleduff set
tied and were never inside of rail-
road coach.
In 1865 Gus Adams, colored,
freed as the result of the fight be-
tween the States left the Stanton
farm and took up his residence on
the plantation of Mckleduff. He and
his family are there today.
Gus now owns 45 acres of the
original plantation. and piece by
piece the big plantation has been sold
off until about so acres of the old
homestead is all that remains. These
sisters have resided on this spot OF
earth more than 60 years.
AS stay-at-homes Georgians believe
them to be the banner pair of the
State.

LIFE AND LONGEVITY.
The Effort to Prolong Mans Years of
Productiveness.

What really constitutes life? Is
it action or is it merely existence?
Which is the most useful, the man
who gives his all in energy to SER
vice or he who conserves his forces
and though prolongs his days? He
lives most who accomplishes most;
activity in useful, productive or con-
structive effort is the real test of life,
says the Omaha Bee. Length OF
years may content some, but restless,
energetic souls will press forward.
regardless of time, striving for goal
they may never attain, but always
striving, and these only really live.
Life insurance presidents, being
interested in the prolongation Of ex-
istence of risks, bend their efforts to
the teaching of elements Of living,
the avoidance Of excesses, exposures
or unnecessary risk Of any kind,
and in this way really serve the
world, because they increase the pro-
ductive years Of man. AS q result
Of modern methods man really lives
longer and better, but this is not
the all-in-all of hfe. To live is to be
active, to have a part in the creative
effort Of mankind, regardless OF
whether the span be long or short,
so long as it is busy, for "an end is
an end, whether it cometh on the
winged heels of week or the dull
stretch of a century,"

Joke on the Professor.

A professor of natural philosophy
in a certain college gave the class a
problem to think over during the
night and answer the next morning.
The question was this: IF hole
was bored through the centre of the
earth from side to side and ball
dropped into it, would it come to a
state of rest?"
Next morning a student was called
up on this philosophical problem.
What answer do you give this
question:" asked the professor.
We'll. really" said he. Il have not
thought of the main question. but d
preliminary one. How are you go
ing to get that hole through"

Letter From Ir. j. 3. Black.

Editor Bamberg Herald: Think
ing that perhaps some of our friends
would like to hear from us, | send
you a few lines. Our party left home
June 18th. at IL a. m, and reached
Nashville, Tenn, June 14th, at I a.
m, where We spent the day visiting
various points of interest. Leaving
Nashville We came by st. Louis,
where we crossed the Mississippi
river, and from there TO Kansas City.
We saw many acres OF fine wheat and
other grain: also saw many fine
horses and cattle. We were in Kan
sas City only about one hour. Leav-
ing that city We travelled over 500
miles before we reached Denver, pass
ing through prairie lands, seeing
many prairie dogs and rabbits. After
spending one night and part of one
day seeing Denver" We came on to
Colorado Springs, where We stopped
for a few days seeing the great
sights near that place; one Of which
was a trip up Pixies Peak on a cog
road. The altitude of Pixies Peak is
14,l47 feet above sea level and is
always covered with snow. Before
We reached the summit We passed
through where the snow had been
| cut out of the road bed, to the depth
of six to ten feet. The snow was so
| close to the car window that | reach
ed my hand out and filled it with
snow. We had much fun snow ball
ing. This was June 10th.
After leaving Colorado Springs,
June 21st, We passed through the
Royal Gorge, a sight indescribable.
Our train through the gorge consist
ed of one baggage car, two diners
one day coach, 10 pullmans and one
observation car, pulled by two large
engines.
We reached Salt Lake City a.
M, June 22nd, saw Brigham Young's S
grave and monument and saw the
great Mormon temple, visited the
grounds and went in the Mormon
tabernacle and heard a musical re-
cital on that wonderful pipe organ.
We also went over and took look
at Salt Lake.
Leaving Salt Lake City at 6:45 p.
m. the same day, We reached iel-
] lowstone Park early in the morning
of June 23rd and are making tour
of the park in hacks drawn by horses.
We will leave the park tomorrow
night, after having Travelled about
125 miles in hacks, taking in the
sights of the park. In the park We
have seen a number of bears, deer
and elks roaming at large in the
forest. We expect to reach San Fran
| cisco, CAL, Tuesday. June 29th, dis
tance from here of nearly 1900
| miles.
With kind regards to friends.

LOSSES OF NAVIES.
Warships Destroyed Total 100000
Tons and Cost $175,OOO,OOO.

After ten months of war the losses
, suffered by the contending navies
present some interesting points for
speculation, says the Journal of Com
merce. affording comparison of the
relative merits Of the various offen-
sive weapons in the naval struggle,
and showing how costly it is to the
countries concerned to indulge in
minor encounters.
Summarizing the losses under
types of vessels, Great Britain and
her allies have been deprived of the
services of eight battleships, four
teen cruisers, four gunboats, six de-
stroyers, ten submarines, fourteen
boats and six armed merchantmen
and auxiliaries.
The losses of Germany and her al
lies consist of one battleship, twenty
three cruisers, fifteen gunboats. thir-
teen torpedo craft, six submarines
and twenty armed merchantmen and
auxiliaries.
Separating the losses under the va
rious causes, neglecting auxiliaries
and armed merchantmen, the torpe-
do has destroyed 131, 900 tons Of al
lied vessels, the mine $4,000 tons,
gun-fire 27 900 tons and $4,000 tons
have been lost in various other ways.
The German, Austrian and Turk
ish fleets have been deprived OF 49,
900 tons of war vessels by means OF
the torpedo, 5000 tons by the mine,
$1,000 tons by gun-fire and $4,000
tons from various other causes.
These figures show that England
and her allies have lost 100000 tons
tons of naval fighting material cost
ing approximately $100,000,O00,
while the Teuton and Turkish losses
total 100000 tons, worth about $780,
100000.
The figures also show that miscel-
laneous losses officially recorded are
approximately the same on both
sides, while from torpedo, gun and
mine the British and their allies
have lost nearly double the tonnage
that their opponents have lost by
| the same causes. BY torpedo the
British losses are ten times more
than those of the other side, which
i shows clearly how important part
that weapon plays. I
In gun-fire England has establish
ed a long lead, chiefly because the
German ships at large when the war
was declared have been destroyed
by this means. In the armed mer-
chantmen and auxiliary class the net
register tonnage of allied ships de-
stroyed amounts to 10000, while
the German, Austrian and Turkish
losses stand at approximately double
that figure. The total financial loss
in this instance amounts to about
100000.
Thus ten months of skirmishing
and preliminary actions, leading to
| no definite result so far as the ques-
ton of naval supremacy is concerned,
has brought about the destruction
of about 100000 tons Of warships
costing $175.000.000.

Three Reasons for Declining.

Lord Broughton had temper
which sometimes exploded in most
disconcerting manner. 1t is related
that on one occasion he dined with
a large party at Thackeray's house,
and after dinner some specially fine
MADEIRA was produced. In his usual
genial way the novelist pressed this
on his guests and, patting his neigh
Dor, Lord Broughton, on the back,
remarked. Now, my dear old boy,
you must try some of this"
A chill fell on the company when
the noble lord retorted, 81 am not
your dear boy, am not old, and -
your wine"
