WOOD ALCOHOL GOT THEM.
Seven Men Drank Wrong Kind of
Poison and Died.

The list of fatalities among civilian
employees of Edgewood Arsenal, at
Baltimore, resulting from drinking
some form of poisoned alcohol was in
creased to seven last Wednesday by
the deaths of Nelson Lucius, of Roch-
ester, N. Y, and James Davis, of SAL
isburg, Nd Michael O'Leary, of Bal
timore, the last one of the known vic
tins is expected to recover. He was
reported as improving today, but was
too weak to talk.
Thus far. the military authorities
at Edgewood have been unable to find
out where the liquor came from by
the refusal of the men to tell where
they got it.
An official board of inquiry will be
convened at Edgewood today, and the
local police authorities are continuing
their Investigations.
After an inquest held yesterday oV-
er the three who were dead at that
time, the coroner's jury rendered a
verdict that the men came to their
death either from wood or denatured
alcohol.
A large quantity of alcohol for
chemical purposes is stored at the
post, the military authorities said,
and because of thefts of the liquor,
it was denatured. A warning to this
effect was issued, and not only to the
soldiers, but to the citizen personnel
as we'll. Little is known of the men
who fell victims to the poison. Most
of them had only been employed at
the arsenal a short time.

RIVAL OF THE SPHINX.
Statue of Buddha i'll west
ern China.

For many years it has been known
that about so miles from Jahding,
in western China, there is a very
large and remarkable statue of Bud
dha. but it was not until very few
years ago that it was ever destribed
by an Occidental.
DR.. Sprague, an authority on things
Chinese, visited it. At the end Of two
days travel he reached the image and
found it colossal in size, although not
so large as rumor had made it out.
The upper half of the hillside con-
sists of a sandstone cliff, and in this
niche fifty feet broad has been cut
leaving a central core of stone that
is carved in the shape of a figure seat
ed in European style, not crosslegged
as Buddha is so often represented.
The traveller found the height of the
image to be not less than one hun
dred feet.
A series of five tiled roofs, descend
ing like a flight of steps, built in front
of the image, protects it from the
weather, so that only the face can be
seen from without.
When the doctor came within sight
of the great Buddha he paused and
rested from his journey at point
near one of the gates to the walled
city that lies in the valley below. AS
his eyes turned to the great face,
which has been gilded until it shines
like metal, as the immense size and
perfect preservation Of the idol made
their impression, the thought came to
him that ''this is more marvellous
than many of the worlds boasted
Wonders.'
He thought of the colossi at Thebes
and the Sphinx. Scared and ruined
and defaced by the hand of man and
the efforts of time they are little bet
ter than lumps'o of battered rocks. But
far in the west of China sits this old
Buddha, unnoticed and almost un-
known, yet greater in size than the
Egyptian colossi, with his proportions
preserved intact, with temples above
and below him, and with the priests
in attendance to keep the incense
burning at his feet. There he sits,
grimly gazing out over the tiled roofs
of the city that lies before him.

The writer of these lines is not an
overly tall specimen of the male spec
cies but he has a protest to make to
our honorable city council. He has
had his dignity, and what's more
painful, his anatomy, hurt by run
ming into awnings On Main street. IN
the ordinary course of business or
pleasure it becomes necessary for one
to be transported via the pedestal ex-
tremity method from place to place.
We were endeavoring to quietly ana
peaceably, if not unostentatlously'
perambulate on the sidewalk of this
good town when our editorial sky
piece came sharply into conflict with
something more substantial than at
mosphere, which, under ordinary cir
cumstances, is supposed to form the
ceiling of sidewalks. The obstacle
proved to be the iron. framework OF
an awning. Looking hastily about to
ascertain who had witnessed the un-
dignifed procedure, we investigated
the damage, which was not great
probably because the obstacle
was not as hard as the SUB
stance it came in contact WITH
We merely threatened the owner with
a damage suit for a million dollars
and not wishing to be bothered with
such trivial legal matters, ne forth-
with had the awning fixed. Again a
week or two later our pinnacle came
into contact with another awning,
this time, though, we are thankful to
report, without damage. Some tel-
low wanted to know where we got 1t,
but, remembering the good old father
of our country, we admitted that we
didn't have it. He then asked what
the atmospheric portion of pedestrlal
mitted with humiliation that we had
not thought of them before as being
requisite for spotting distractions on
the neither portion of the pedestrial
thoroughfares. However, people will
live and learn-that is if they wish
to use the sidewalks with safety to
their respective domes. We might
add, merely as information, that we
measure just five feet nine and one
half inches, and could not be correct
" termed an "abnormously' tall gen.
tleman; and we may also add that
these particular awnings no longer
stretch forth their frame work to
obstruct the passage of wayWard
footmen.

Audience Found Him.

After many years of parting, the
old school chums chanced to meet
again and spent an interesting hour
exchanging "reminiscences.
But" began one suddenly, you

damaged by the weevil.
"That is the secret Of my cotton
CROP" DR.. Taylor said. "This Toole
cotton l am using naturally produces
a flinty boil, much more so than the
average cotton used in this county.
And, since / have been fighting the
weevil, have been selecting the hard
est, flintiest bolls for seed. This had
resulted in my getting strain of
seed that produces bolls which get
too tough for the weevil in from Is
to 21 days. Many of them have an
inner skin too tough for the weevil
by the 5th day, while all Of them are
past danger by the 21st. This makes
them immune to the weevil. That is
the reason I did not lose my crop dur
ing the rains which cane in the first
half of August, when every other crop
in the county went to the bad. The
bolls which other types of cotton had
could be punctured by the weevils up
to the 80 days of age. That made it
out of the question for the farmer to
get more than the earliest bolls of the
season. The weevils got the young
bolls as we'll as the squares.
"This flinty type of cotton is SINH
lar in principle to the flint corn that
is being grown by many farmers be-
cause it is too hard for the corn wee

The Edisto Cow Testing Association.

The recent organization of the
Edisto Cow Testing association
makes the second testing association
in South Carolina, the pioneer COW
testing association having been in
operation for about two years. Most
of the herds of the Bdisto association
are in the southeastern part of the
state, so located that the official test
er can conveniently make the circuit.
This will not only reduce the expense
of testing over the plan heretofore
in operation of sending tester from
Clemson college for each two or three
herds, but it will also permit more
herds to start testing work in this
territory.
The temporary officers of the as
sociation are St. J. A. LaWton,
Charleston, president; H. D. Jordan,
Ridge Spring, vice-president; P. A.
Baxley, Blackville, secretary; J. K.
Mayfeld, Denmark, treasurer. These
are all owners of Holstein herds.
Other members Of the association are
C. B. Whitney and F. P. Rainsford
owners of Jersey herds; Ware Shoals
Manufacturing Company; J. Watt
Weir and A. NJ. McKeown, owners OF
G11ernsev herds.
The new testing association will
run in conjunction with the Pioneer
Cow Testing association, which has
membership in Lee, Darlington and
Marlboro counties. E. L. Par
rott is to be official tester for the
Pioneer association, and H. D.
Jeter official tester for the Edisto
association, with arrangements for
interchange of circuits every few
months. All the testing will be in
pure bred herds for advanced regis
ter and register of merit yearly rec,
ords.
