j Dustless Roads of Franc*. 1 The engineer for the Seine and Ma rine departments in France reports ??^that-trials of a. mixture ot oil and petroleum as a dust preventive have - -..heen unsuccessful. In, the summer of '1902 a coating of tar was tried on ? seven different lengths of road. After .careful investigation during a period ?i .of twelve months, It was found that .- "dust and mud had wholly disappear ed and the. cost of maintenance had been reduced. The tar forms an elas '.. tlc skin, which deadens the sound of c::itraffic and reduces the resistance. It appears that the tarring method in volves no greater outlay than that for coating with oil. Long Confined as Leper. I A remarkable story which has late ly attracted great sympathy in Cape Colony, is that of a man named Apros kle, who, after having been confined on Robben Island for eight years as a person suspected of having leprosy, was recently allowed to return to his . family as non-afflicted.

The week ending S a. m., September Etb, had a mean temperature of 79 de grees which is about 1 degree above normal. The temperature was very uni form throughout the week. The ex tremes were a minimum of 56 ot Green ville on August-30th, and a maximum of 94 at Blackville on the -3rd. The sun shine was slightly above the normal amount, and the relative humidity was slightly below. There were no violent wind, or any hail storms during the week. The precipitation averaged less than the weekly normal amount, although in the northwestern counties and in the middle Savannah valley counties there were excessive rains locally, over qi?ite large areas. A number of places had to rain until the 4th when generally showery conditions prevailed over the entire State. What rain fell during the week was generally beneficial. The moderately high temperatures, and general absence of precipitation were favorable, and farm work made rapid progress. Fodder pulling is under way, and nearing completion, in the western counties and is practically finished in the eastern ones. The bulk of the corn crop has matured, and it is a uniformly large crop. On sandy lands, cotton has stopped growing, and generally stopped fruit ing; it is opening fast, with picking g?n?ral, over th? eastern and central counties, while picking has just be gun in the western counties where the crop is from one to three weeks late. Rust, shedding und blight continue to cause deterioration on light lands, and rust has appeared on some clay lands and on sea-island cotton. Boll worms and caterpiller have appeared in a few fields but are not yet threatening. Sea island cotton is heavily fruited, and ia still blooming^ freely. The weather was ideal for cutting nee, and much of the early planted crop has been harvested; late rice is very promising; rice birds have ap peared in a few coast fields. Consid erable hay was cut and cured, in fine condition. Peas are fruiting heavily re cently. Nearly all reports indicate a continued promising condition of all minor crops, and fall truck.-J. W.

DEMOCRATS GATHER Editors Meet At a Banquet in New York City AN ADDRESS BY COL. WATTERSON Nearly Five Hundred Present at the Banquet of the Democratic .Editor ?al Conference. New York, Special-Nearly 500 Dem ocratic editors from all p?rts of thc United States met at a banquet at the Waldorf-Astoria Wednesday night, thc occasion being a national conference o? Democratic editors which was called at the instance of the Democratic nation al committee. The toast list included several of the best known Democratic I editors in the country, and all of them responded to toasts on pclitcial sub jects. Sylvanus E. Johnson, Washington correspondent of The Cincinnati En quirer, and a former president of the Gridiron Club, was the toast-master. A large orchestra furnished music. Editor Henry Watterson, amid great applause, spoke lu part as follows: "In order to allay curiosity and suppress conjecture-or words to that effect-let me say in the beginning that I believe we can win this presi dential battle. I will go even further and say that, with anything like an even show-down of powder and ball, it will be our own fault if we lose it. The two parties will go the finish fairly uni ted. Each will poll very nearly, it not quite, its noraml strength. The inde pendent vote, therefore, will decide the result "In the five debatable States of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, in the East, Indiana and Wisconsin, in the West, there are, on a rough esti mate, a million of these independent voters. Half a million of them are Germans. The other half are mug wumps and floaters. For the life ot me I cannot see how any self-respect ing mugwump can vote for Roosevelt, the recreant civil service reformer, nor how any intelligent German, much as the President resembles the Kaiser, can be willing to take even a lottery chance in a war with the mother coun try, precipitated upon the drop of a hat, j to glorify the administration. "Parker, the jurist, means peace with all nations, entangling alliance with none. Roosevelt, the war lord, means complications abroad and corruptions at home, designed to prolong a single party dynasty, and to perpetuate its fa vorites and agents in power. Every economic question must pause before j an issue so transcendant. "In venturing to discuss it tonight, though surrounded by members of my I own party and profession, may I not' take a suppositious standpoint, and j declare that, if I were a Republican- J and over about the headwaters of Bit-1 ter creek, there are Democrats who in sist that I am not much better-I would vote for Parker and Davis and against Roosevelt and Fairbanks. Being only a plain American, who loves his coun- j try and clings to its institutions, 1 mean to do this anyhow. I shall do it J because it seems to me the upright thing to do, the enlightened thing to do. the prudent and honest thing to do. "In spite of some excess of feel ing and mistakes of judgment, the Democratic heart beats true to the essential principles of the republic as it was created by the sublime Declaration and ordained by our incomparable con stitution. In spite of their intelligence and energy, the Republican leaders are losing sight of their fidelity to both. Even the errors of the Democrats lean 1 to virtue's side, whilst the very virtues of the Republicans are beginning to be sickled o'er with the pale cast ot coi. ruption and absolutism. This is not be- . cause the Democrats are Democrats, oi the Republicans are Republicans. The label has little to do with it. It if the nature of long dominancy tends first to' corruption, and then, threatened with exposure, to tyranny. "The old Democratic party came into being, like the Republican party, as the friend of man; it grew so strong, by prolonged domination, that it was able to r \ke its exit from power, the signal for a long, bloody and senseless war. I would take no chance of a repetition of this evil history. I would have a change of parties, though only for the sake of the change. Little as the two ' administrations of Grover Cleveland effected, either in the statuary laws or in the general policy, they were b?n?ficient interludes to the unbridled ambition and the grasping inclina tions of the Republicans. They did bring the Republican leaders to a realizing sense of their public obliga tions. They did serve notice even upon the saints that they do not possess the earth. Such will be the affect, if none other, of the election of Parker and Davis, and the defeat pf Roosevelt and Fairbanks." Mr. Watterson spoke at length upon the issues of the campaign. Much en thusiasm prevailed. Part of Russians in Danger. Mukden, By Cable.-Part of the-Rus sian army which is coming to Mukden bv wagon road is in danger of being cut off.

President Donnelly, of the Butchers' Union, states that the return to work of men in New York will not change his plan to tie up the meat industry. Dr. Allan McLane Hamilton, the noted alienist, writes on analysis of Judge Parker's temperament, pro nouncing him of rare strength, with the traits of a leader.

The second year's course will review the first and do more advanced work In composition, literature, algebra and history .As supplementary reading the following will be suggested: "The Land of Song," "Lady of the Lake," "Lays of Ancient Rome,'-' "Merchant of Venice," "Vision of Sir Launfal," "Horse Shoe Robinson," "Ivanhoe," "Last o? lae Mohicans," Poe's "Tales," "Treasure Island," "Yemasse," etc. During the third year the course will contain studies of southern literature, studies ol Tennyson, geography, nature study and manual training, and for parallel or library reading the com mittee suggests Pancoast English Poems, Carson's Aims of Literary Study, Koopman's Mastery'of Books, selections from Carlyle, Emerson, Lowell and Ruskin, also "Twelfth Night," "Macbeth" and "Tempest." Tho report of the committee will be printed and submitted to the State board at the next meeting for amendent and adoption. The board does not hope to get this course in operation til' next year, but they hope to arrange one of the best teachers' reading circles in the United States and thus have teach ers plover the State studying, along the same line, at the same time. Thc State board, at its meeting Sat urday, also voted to allow the granting of a certificate to teachers who suc cessfully com: ete nine courses of study in a county or district summer school. A committee was appointed to rivse the list of colleges while grad uates are allowed to teach without ex amin-tion, and report at the next meeting. A committee was also appointed to prepare rules and regulations to gov ern the award of scholarships to the State institutions. In an appeal case from Newberry the action of the county board was sus tained; because said board acted strict ly within its jurisdiction under the law. The action of the Saluda board in dividing a school district was re duced below the constitutional limit of nine square miles. A very complicated appeal case came from Oconee, which was heard, and a committee was ap pointed to consult with the attorney general and the superintendent of ed ucation and prepare an order, subject to the upproval of the board. After hearing and deciding many other minor matter J, the board adjourned Satur day. Hurt by a Fall. Spartanburg, S. C., Special.-Mrs. George Hodges, a well-known woman of this city, lies in a critical condition at her home on East Main street as the result of a fall down a flight of stairs Tuesday morning. She was found un conscious at che bottom of the steps by a member oi the family, and as no one witnessed the accident the circum stances attending the unfortunate oc currence are not known, but it is sur mised that she was seized with a faint ing spell or an attack of vertigo and lost, her balance. This morning all hope of lier recovery was abandoned. . but reports from her bedside are to the ef fect that her condition is slightly im proved. Japanese Monuments. St. Petersburg, By Cable-The Em peror has received the following tele gram from Lieutenant General Liapou neff, military governor of the island of Sakhalin, dated September ti: "Two of the enemy's warships .this evening approached KornsakovskfSah kalin.) They stopped four miles from shore and sent hnr.chos towards the sunken cruiser Novik. Our troops opened fire, whereupon the launches returned to their Eulpa." How lt Got Its Nam?. Back In Clinton County, in a sec tion which is rapidly becoming known through the development of its oil wells, is a village called Seventy-six. In the midst of the village ls a water fall, which greeted the eye of the first frontiersman who went to that part of this State when i_ was still a part of Virginia. Be measured the depth of the fall and found it to ba seventy-six feet. The accuracy o? the measurement has never been call ed into question, and the inhabitants of the town to this day have their mails addressed to ? "Seventy-six, Ky." The fall is of little volume dur ing the summer months, hut it is of great beauty at all times. In the winter it is a roaring cataract, and Indian Creek frequently goes upon a rampage. The section was a favorite hunting ground of the Indians in the early days, and the creek derived its name from the number of spearheads and spikes which are found in thc fields around.-Louisville (Ky.) Cour ier-Journal. Mail Carried by Reindeer Team. The capacity of the reindeer for team work ls remarkable. His hoofs are very broad and do not penetrate the snow crusts. His averagte weight is about 400 pounds. He will swiftly draw a sled carrying COO pounds, and with this load can cover thirty, fifty and even ninety miles a day. Tho reindeer teams now carry the mails from Kotzebue to Point Barrow, a distance of 650 miles-the most north :-rly post route in the world. No food ls carried for the deer, At the end of his journey, or at any Stopping place, he is turn'ed loos?, and at once breaks through the snow to the white moss, which selves as food. It costs nothin% to feed him As the white settlements increase in the mineral bearing parts of Alaska, and In many places remote from railway and steamboat transportation, the rein deer express will be one of the' most important factor? in territorial life.
