tumorous department. Bad Case of Ancestors. Mr. Clarence O. Kuester, of this city, has a droll sense of humor, and he gets a lot of amusement by playing pranks on the simple-minded, credulous colored man who is still to be found occasionally. When Mr. Kuester was in Lincolnton a short time ago, he called a colored waiter to him and said: "Jim, what's the matter with you? You are looking mighty bad." The negro was in perfect health, but his face grew long. "No, I ain't feelin' well. Mr. Kuester," said he. "I tell you, Jim," said Mr. Kuester, "you are a very sick man. I can tell that out of the corner of my eye." Jim grew sadder still. "I ain't at all peart," he declared, with a heavy sigh. "Covo t in tnvsplf this morning. 'Jim you ain't at all well.' That's what I said?'Jim, you are not at all well.' "Poke out your tongue, Jim." said Mr. Kuester. Jim obeyed. "My goodness, Jim!" said Mr. Kuester, in feigned alarm. "Tour tongue's right white, ain't it?" "Yessah, it's white as cotton," agreed Jim, nervously. " am er sick " "Jim," said Mr. Kuester, solemnly. "I know what is the matter with you. You've got the ancestors!" "Oh, Lordy!" said Jim, trying to turn pale. "You don't tell me so, Mr. Kuester. I know'd I was er sick man, but never thought I had them things. Whatch you reckon I'd better do, Mr. Kuester?" "See a doctor at once," said Mr. Kuester. "It won't do to fool around when you've got the ancestors." "Dat's so." said Jim with a groan: and off he went to consult a physician.?Charlotte Chronicle. . Out of Pi,ace.?Martin J. Wade is the only Democrat in the house from Ioaw. In explanation of the relation of the state of Iowa toward Gov. Cummin's views on the necessity of adjusting the tariff rates to meet changed conditions. Mr. Wade said the people of his state were like the fellow who sat on the doorstep of his home one winter morning about 2 o'clock when a policeman came along. "What are you doing here?" inquired the guardian of the peace. The man replied: "I am just thinking." "Well," said the policeman, "get in or you will freeze to death. What are you thinking about?" "I was just thinking," replied the man, "whether I would stay out here and freeze to death or go in and get killed." According to Mr. Wade, the people of Iowa are not only thinking like the man alluded to, but they are realizing a great truth expressed in a case where a man was taken to an insane asylum in that state. In reply to the Inquiry why he was sent there, the man said: "They sent me here because I'm a tariff reformer and voted the Republican ticket." "Oh, that's a shame," remarked the questioner. "You should not have been sent here. This is a place for the insane. You are nothing but a ?fool." Nothing Remarkable.?Representative Wade of Iowa, in making a speech about tariff the other day applied an anecdote of an Irishman at Niagara Falls. "The gentleman from Illinois, Mr. Boutell," said Mr. Wade, "insists that the country is prosperous, and he read a lot of newspaper articles to prove it. Others insist on the same state of affairs. But whenever I hear one of these me'nbers talking I am reminded of the gentleman from Ireland who went to see Niagara Falls. "He hired a guide to take him all around. The guide showed the gentleman from Ireland everything, and when the guide got through the Irishman inquired: 'Is that all?" " 'Yes, replied the guide. 'I have shown you all the points of interest.' " 'I don't see why people should come from all over the world to see this,' the gentleman from Ireland insisted. " 'Well, don't you see that magnificent cataract of water rushing over the precipice?' " 'Sure,' said the tourist, 'but why shouldn't it: what is there to hold it back?'" Example of Yankee Shrewdness. ?"Talk about Yankee shrewdness," said the traveling man. "I was In a little tavern up in Connecticut not long ago and a farmer came in with eggs to sell. The transaction took place in the bar room of the establishment. The proprietor agreed to take two dozen, and when the farmer came to count over the contents of his basket he found that he had twenty-five eggs. The proprietor wanted the extra egg thrown in for good measure. The farmer didn't see it that way and they argued the matter. At last the proprietor said he'd take the twentyfive eggs, give the man a drink and call it square. The farmer agreed and pocketed his money. "'Now, what'll you have?' asked the proprietor. The Yankee farmer was ready with his reply. " 'Sherry and egg,' said he." Gave It R<k>m.?Col. Cody?"Buffalo Bill"?is here, says the Washington correspondent of the New York World. He told the president this story: "A new railroad was built through my section of the country and a young r-nw nimchcr saw a train fur thp first time In his life. When the locomative whistle was blown the cow-puncher was evidently distressed, but he did not want to show the white feather. He rose in his stirrups almost scared to death when the train went by covering him with dust. The engineer leaned out of his cab and shouted at the cowboy: "Git out of the way, you blanketyblank, low-browed, long-haired ornery cow-puncher, I'm going to turn round." The cow-puncher stuck spurs to his pony and in an instant disappeared over the hill." SibccUancouis grading. FROM CONTEMPORARIES. News and Comment That Is of More or Less Local Interest. CHESTER.

GASTON. Gastonia Gazette, March 29: For years and years past there has been talk of tin deposits near King's Mountain. This talk appears at last to have amounted to something more than hopes spoken aloud. It has been demonstrated that tin is there?there in valuable deposits, and we believe it must be there in paying quantities, else interested land-holders would not be refusing $100,000 offers for fractional interests. This vein of tin ore is said to stretch a distance of forty miles from the western part of Gaston county to Gnffney City in South Carolina. It is gratifying to know that Gaston holds a generous share of these rich deposits. About half of the carload of ore sent to England last fall was taken from the farm of Mr. John E. Jones three miles from Bessemer City Mr. Earl S. Pegram of Charlotte and Mr. J. B. Pegram of York villewerein the city yesterday... .Mrs. M. C.

Confederate veterans all over the i south are Interested In the announcement made by the Atlanta, Ga., camp that bogus crosses of honor were being sent south. The announcement that the Atlan, ta camp had indignantly denounced this practice has had the effect of call| ing the matter to the attention of members of the Wade Hampton camp. The Confederate cross of honor Is of a die which can be easily duplicated. , It has recently come to light that parties in the north are making bogus ' crosses, and sending them into the south. Here they are offered for sale to any who wish them, and it is stated that many of them have found their way into the south. None have , yet been discovered in Columbia, , though it is regarded as only a matter of time when they will reach here. The matter is one which it will be , hard to combat. A united fight will be made against it by the Veterans, , Sons of Veterans, and the Daughters the CnnfpiiAracv. The value Of the cross is purely due to what It represents, and if conditions are such that any one can obtain them, this value is destroyed, and the distinctive mark of i honor given to a Confederate soldier is practically lost. In speaking of the matter yesterday a prominent member stated: "As the matter is a very hard one to fight, and as our condemnation of the practice would have little or no effect with those manufacturing them, there is but one way in which I think the matter can be fought effectively. I think the names of those entitled to wear the cross of honor should be published each year in each district. "The districts are comparatively small, and nearly every person who is a resident of the district would know the great majority of those whose names were published. In this way the man who wore a cross when he was not entitled to it would be at once pointed out as a *raud, and sentiment would compel hi n to cease wearing the badge. In th s way the sale of the crosses would i \ time be effectively stopped, and t ie northern parties would at once cease manufacturing them "?Columb a Record. SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY. A Valuable French Product?Chemically Purified Watei?Gums a Germ Disease?Vibrations Classified?An Overlooked Factor In Climate?An Improved Fuel?The Air's Radio-Activity Felt Foundations. Calcium steel, a new material of A. Bonnet intended to take the place of stone and ceramic products, is a mixture of sandy feldspar and hydraulic lime. The mixture may be molded by pressing like brick and tiles and then melted, or it may be first fused and then poured into molds. It may be colored by the addition of clay or metallic oxides. It is adapted for building purposes, statuary and pipes, may be worked with tools like rpetals and enameled and decorated like glass, and it has the special advantages of lightness, resistance to oxidation and acids, and of being a bad conductor of heat and electricity. A purely chemical purification of water has given excellent results to L. Allain of Marseilles. Iodine, which is a powerful antiseptic, is added in the proportion of 1 part to 100,000 and in most cases destroys all bacilli within a quarter of an hour. The free iodine is then neutralized by sodium hyposulphite. The water is finally filtered through charcoal, and is claimed to come out limpid, colorless and tasteless. Gums are a botanical puzzle. Dr. Greig Smith of Sydney, has now shown that some of them are due to bacteria, and he has isolated some of these?like that of "arabin," and made ?" 1 |? loH lilt-Ill piuuut'tr men sumo in vuv. ?uv oratory*. He suggests that all other gums are bacterial products, and that the world's supply of gum might be increased by judicious selection of susceptible trees. A new French work by C. V. Houlbert enumerates 60 species of insects injurious to books, and gives all known methods of preventing their ravages. Physicists recognize two kinds of rays?those explained as the emission 1 of infinitesimal particles, like the cath| ode rays, and those explained as vibrations. Rays of the latter kind have been arranged by Prof. Braun in a table, which shows the varying character 1 corresponding to different wave-lengths and rales of vibration. Electrical vibrations number from 50 per second, with a wave-length of 6.000 kilometers, this being the usual alternating current. to 50.000 million per second and a wave-length of 6.0 centimeter, as | observed in a tiny bit of platinum wire. The longest known heat rays show 12 billion vibrations per second, J with a wave-length of 0.024 millimeter. Red light results from 450 billion vibrations per second at a wave-length of 0.00060; and white light, from 800 billion vibrations and a wave-length of 0.00030 millimeter. The chemically ac tlve ultra-violet rays, ana iinuny ine ' Roentgen rays, have still shorter wave| lenpth and hiRher rate of vibration. A Rap exists between the electrical and the heat vibrations, and it is supposed that Blondlot's N-rays. with a wave-lenRth of about 0.2 millimeter, belonR in this place. A millimeter, the thousandth of a meter and millionth of a kilometer, is about 0.04 of an inch. The eleetronseope of Mr. John Don of Aberdeen, is a large glass cell in which a gold-leaf electroscope is suspended and through which air can be drawn at the rate of about a fifth of a cubic foot per hour. It gives a means of accurately measuring the electrification of the air?that is, the number of electrons present?at any time. It has shown that leakage from the charged electroscope may be as rapid 011 a dry day as 011 a damp one. that it is marked on days when people feel depressed, and that a seabreeze changes the negative charge to t a positive one. Electrification seems so important to health that we may expect a new era in climate study. Death from old age, says Sir Herman Weber, is due to atrophy connected with changes in the blood vessels. Vigorous circulation, promoted by keeping the organs in action, is the best preventive. With certain changes in fire-boxes, it is claimed that the petroleum briquettes of a French naval officer make possible the suppression of smoke and will give a fuel of which one pound will be equivalent to four pounds of coal. The briquettes are made by adding to the petroleum oil, for each liter, 150 grammes of ground soap, 150 grammes of resin, and 300 grammes of caustic soda lye. The mixture is heated and stirred with certain precautions until near solidification, when it is poured into molds, which are placed in a stove for ten or fifteen minutes, and the briquettes are ready for use after cooling a few hours. Greater solidity is given by the additon of a little sawdust and a little clay or sand.

Its induced radio-activity, as occasionally observed, is attributed to an emanation from some radio-active substance which finds its way into the free atmosphere as well as into mineral springs. Tests of a very active earth from the Italian Alps seemed to show a trace of radium as the radio-active constituent. A woolen felt made in Leeds, Eng., is being much employed for giving elastic foundations and reducing the noise of machinery and railway trains. It is made in sheets up to 60 inches by 30. with thickness of 3 to 11 inches, and is impregnated with mineral fat, the upper surface being tanned to resist damp and rust. This felt is already much used in Germany under steam hammers, dynamoes, pumps, engines, and the like, and in England on bridges. The Finsen light, seemingly allied to x-rays, is claimed to remove scars by stimulating the blood corpuscles and causing them to form new tissue. The Matter of Mill Checks. rvunmhia BpcnHr The sunreme court today handed down an Important decision as to the right of cotton mills to issue checks to their employees for use at the mill stores in lieu of money. The case came from Spartanburg county and was a suit against the Spartin mill brought by a firm who held a number of these checks and were refused payment by the mil's on the ground that they were issued solely for the convenience of the operatives. There were in all eight cases against the mills, but by consent they were combined in order that a decision might be reached. The suit was brought by firms that had accepted these brass checks from the operatives and afterwards presented them to the mills for payment. It was charged in the complaint that the company had violated an act of the legislature of 1901 which states that it shall be unlawful for any corporation or person to issue these checks or notes to an employee, requiring them to take them. In the testimony it was brought out that these brass checks were only issued to employes for their convenience and that there were no agreements between the two. It was also proved that face value was always received for the checks. The case came before Judge Purdy and as the act exempted certain classes of people it was declared unconstitutional and the case against the mills dismissed, the court declaring that they had the right to issue these checks and the supreme court has just upheld this opinion. The opinion is of considerable Importance as nearly every mill in the state uses these checks. An Anderson Man On Texas. Anderson Daily Mail: Mr. A. B. Campbell, who lives near Belton, and who returned from Texas a short time ago, was in this office Saturday, and gave a clear, comprehensive short talk on the conditions in the portion of Texas where he has lived for some years. Mr. Campbell possesses an unusual amount of good, common sense, and talks very interestingly of his experience. He lived In Grayson county, which is near Sherman, and he says it is a country of extraordinary resources, and with a still greater future before It. Mr. Campbell does not return to the old state, like many others, knocking Texas, but says it is no country for a poor man unless he works for wages. Lands are very rictu and correspondingly high, and it takes the man who can stand the total loss of a crop to win out in the end. The boll weevil got in its work in the section where Mr. Campbell has been living and is in a large measure responsible for his return to South Carolina. He says quite a number of families from the section where he has been living, have returned to the older states on account of the boll weevil. The weevil, he says, does not make a clean sweep of a field like grasshoppers or the like, but the destruction is so near complete that the farmer has no heart to plant another crop, and a poor man can't do it. He says that it is a magnificent grain country, and especially oats, but that sometimes the grain crop Is a total failure. In reference to the Johnson grass, Mr. Campbell says, hundreds of acres have been abandoned to it, and hay is harvested from the land. He says it is uie ruiex ui me imcouci men of that section to thresh oats that come from land that has Johnson grass on it, but, he added, a man can always get his oats threshed and find a market for them in Sherman and other towns in that section. Mr. Campbell says that to average the thing up a man can get more out of life, have better advantages, health, water, schools, society, for the same money in Anderson county than in Texas and is perfectly content to spend the rest of his days in the old Palmetto state. xii The chief trouble about good advice is that those who give the most of it usually follow it the least.

Korea has a foreign commerce of about J12.000.000, of which J7.500.000 is imports and J4,500,000 exports. Korea began its commercial develment in 1876, when two ports, Gensan and Fusan, were opened to trade with Japan. Korea was a vassal of China until 1894, when the victory of Japan in her war with,China secured Korean independence. Korea gave a commercial treaty to the United States in 1882, followed by similar treaties with Germany, Great Britain, Russia, Italy, France, Austria and China. Korea began keeping a record of imports and exports in 1884. In that year J 1,275,000 was its total foreign commerce. Now it Is about nine times as much. Korea now has nine treaty ports, namely, Chemulpo, Fusan, Wonsan, Chlnampho, Mokpho, Kunsan, Masampho, Song Chin and Wiju. Chemulpo is the most Important of these, and Is only twenty-five miles distant, by rail communication, from Seoul, the capital of Korea. Korea exports, in order of importance as named, rice, beans, ginseng and hides. Korea imports, in the same order, cotton goods, silk piece goods (from Japan), kerosene, railway materials, mining supplies and bags and ropes for packing, clothing and haberdashery, provisions, matches, sake samshu, sugar, machinery and cotton wadding. Korea had made great progress in the arts three centuries ago. Korea has a limited literature, consisting e.1> of descriptions of scenery and folklore. Korea has a robust, amiable, industrious and pleasure loving population, agricultural rather than commercial. Korea Is about the same size as the state of Kansas, and nearly twice the size of the state of New York. Korea . has a productive and well cultivated soil, producing rice, barley, wheat, sorghum, millet. Korea has about 25,000 foreigners resident within its borders, consisting of 19,000 Japanese, 5,000 Chinese, 275 Americans. 140 Englishmen, 100 Frenchmen and 40 Germans. Next to Japan and China, the neighbors of Korea, America leads in the foreign contingent. Korea has a system of government as thoroughly rotten and corrupt as Is to be found on earth. Korea has plentiful mineral resources. consisting of copper, iron, coal, gold, silver. Korea has mountains covered with vast virgin forests. Korea has one of the finest and healthiest climates in the world. Irrigation not necessary. c< Swan CARNIVi YOR* oustie Aoril 4 to 9. ?I ? , An Abundance c Clean, FREE!
