tumorous flrpartnunt. Horse Swappers' Convention. The annual convention of the Ohio Horse Traders' association met at Cardlngton, O., last week. Resolutions were adopted denouncing automobiles and airships as methods of conveyance. The sessions were held in a hayloft. All members were compelled to sit with arms folded, that the temptation to pick their neighbors' pockets might be lessened. The president's report showed that the organization was in a flourishing condition as 75 per cent of the members were In Jail and unable to be present. One hundred members were on the floor. In opening the convention the president spoke as follows: "Fellow fa - I brlcators, it gratines me eKccumjij j to report to you that our worthy organization has had a remarkably | prosperous year. In proof of this statement have only to call your attention to the fact that out of a membership of 375 horse traders only three-quarters of that number are in jail. "This indicates that our vocation Is just beginning to be understood. We can now take our places beside railroad presidents and insurance directors. I won't weary you with any suggestions as to how you can Improve your condition. I cannot think of a single trick you don't know yourselves. "In conclusion I deeply regret a growing tendency on the part of some of our members to tell the truth. If our organization is to survive this will never do. We must adhere to those principles which are the very foundation of horse swapping." The Devil's Dlsciplb.?Charles F. Lummls, the well-known author, traveler and authority on Indians, appeared recently in Washington In a corduroy suit, a sash and a sombrero. "Mr. Lummis," said a reporter, "in your study of the Indians you must have come upon many strange things." "In any study," said the novelist, "one comes upon strange things. Take, for Instance, the study of childhood. Nothing reveals stranger things than that. "I know a little boy In Los Angeles. He was bad the other day, and his mother punished him. "After his punishment he was seen to go to his father's desk and write - -1 * ?* Then sometmng on a sneci <ji he went out into the garden, dug a little hole and buried the paper in it. "His mother, after he had gone away, dug up the paper. It contained these words: " 'Dear devil, please come and take mamma.' "?Pittsburg News.' An East Job.?Pat had Just arrived in New York in the morning and was sauntering down Broadway, viewing with wonder the mammoth buildings of that noted street, when he came to a large office building just being constructed. As he was passing, a foreman emerged from the structure and catching sight of Pat's broad shoulders and sinewy form, called out, "want a Job." "Begorra, and I'm looking for that," replied Pat. So he was soon installed in his new position. The satisfaction which his I work gave him may be best shown by the letter which he sent to his brother the next day. This is the letter: "New York, June, 190? Dear Mike: Come quick. Good pay. Easy work. All you have to do is to carry mortar up a ten story building and you find a man up there with a trowel to do all the work." A Game That Two Could Play. A once well known old time Louisville gambler on one occcaslon thought he had struck a good thing when a stranger who looked as if he had plenty of money came along and suggested a friendly game of poker. The game ran along very smoothly for awhile, and at last, when the opportune moment came, that unregenerate native dealt to the guileless stranger four queens and gave himself four, kings. Of course the betting became Interesting right away, and after all the cash was up and It came to a show down the Louisville man laid down his four kings and the stranger showed four aces. , "Take the money, mister!" gasped the astonished Kentucklan as he nearly fell In a fit. "Take It If you have the heart to do It. But I'll be damned If that was the hand I dealt you." Unprofitable Adam.?There Is occasion for much beating about the bush for answers to many questions put by wise theologues to timid people, but one set of men found thei^ match In the old Scotch woman under examination for admission to church fellowship. "What are the decrees of God?" she was solemnly asked. "Indeed, I trow, he kens that best hlmsel'." "What kind of a man was Adam?" "Ou. Just like ither fouk!" was the quick reply. The questioner insisted on a more 1 A 1-1 r.V>^ '<hn aennue answer. weei, saiu jhc, was just like Jeems Madden, ye ken." "How so?" "Weel, naebody got anything by him, and mony lost." Somrthino Had to Be Done.?The visiting minister was walking along the shady country road to a church where he was to preach that day. when he saw a little boy digging vigorously into the bank by the roadside. He stopped and asked the boy why he worked so hard on Sunday. "I'm diggirlg for a woodchuck, sir," replied the boy. "Well, my son. don't you know it is wrong to do that on Sunday, and you won't get him?" "Not get him!" exclaimed the boy; "why. I've got to get him. The minister's coming to our house to dinner today and we ain't got no meat." Parnell's Apol/xjy.?Mr. Parnell, on April 16. 1878, characterized a statement made by Henry James as "a legal quibble" worthy of the honorable and learned member from whom it proceeded. "I must Inform the honorable member." said the speaker, "that an expression of that kind Is unwarrantable and must be withdrawn." Mr. Parnell apologized for having used the expression. "I will say." he added, "that the statement was more worthy of the ingenuity of a petty sessions attorney than of a lawyer of the ability of the honorable and learned gentleman." iHiscettanrous itradinfl. IN COUNTIES ADJOINING. News and Comment Clipped From Neighboring Exchanges. CHESTER. Lantern, September 13: A number of Yorkville lawyers were here yesterday before Judge Gage on some contempt proceedings in the Kennedy-Hill case from Sharon Mr. W. S. Dickey of Blackstock R. F. D. No. 1, has bought a place at Ebenezer, above Rock Hill, and expects to move there by the first of next year. The neighborhood and county can ill afford to lose such men as Mr. Dickey and his excellent family While the police court roster is not covered with cases these days, the police are not idle, as evidenced by three persons whom they recently landed in Jail. A colored man named Arthur Smoot came to Chief Taylor and between tears and sobs told him about having pawned David Abel, another colored gent, a watch for a small sum of money. That when he went to redeem the watch Abel would not give It up, alleg|ng that he had lost it. Smoot said the watch belonged to his mother who died recently. Abel was arrested and lodged in Jail. Now there had been a valuable | watch lost by a white family and they had told the police. Chief Taylor went around to the jail and talked with Abel. After a little while Abel told the chief where he had hid the watch and they went and grot It. The police had already arrested Ellen Taylor, who had worked In the house of the white people from which the watch had disappeared, on suspicion that she was the thief. She confessed and Implicated Arthur Smoot, to whom she had given the watch. They are all now In Jail and can think over their evil ways until the time of trial Auditor I. McD. Hood has received the assessments on the railroads of Chester county as fixed by the state board. There has been a considerable Increase and the income from the tax on this property will be much more than last year. The Southern Is assessed at $483,966, the Seaboard at $410,317. the Carolina and North-Western at $54,000 and the Lancaster and Chester at $78.925. The total of all the roads Is $1,028.108 as against $843,455 last year, an increase of $184,653. The Southern was hit heaviest, their increase amounting to about $6,500 per mile, being raised from $15,420 to $21,920 per mile. The Seaboard was assessed at $13,800 per mile, an Increase of $1,000; the Lancaster and Chester at $3,500, an Increase of $500 per mile; and the Carolina and North-Western was left at $5,000 per mile. The assessed valuation for all county property is close to $6,000,000. The South r-? (a rotnrntirl Q t tTIl rower ?o * vvui itvv> $260,000, but by next year when their plant will be nearer completion this will probably reach $500,000. The city property assessed valuation shows an increase of about $125,000, this increase being mostly due to the railroads. LANCASTER. News, September 14: Yorkville, following the example of Greenwood, Newberry and other towns, is trying to raise money to build a hospital. The suggestion, we believe, was first made by the Rev. H. J. Cauthen. pastor of the Yorkville Methodist church, In a sermon recently preached by him. He emphasized the value to every i county of a public hospital located at the county seat. The News has been striving "off and on" for a year or more to awaken interest in Lancaster upon the subject of establishing a hospital here, but our efforts have thus far borne no tangible fruit. What is needed is for a few representative citizens to take the matter In hand and push it! If individuals will not take the Initiative, why not the Masonic Lodge, Junior Order and other fraternities unite in a movement to secure a hospital? A public spirited citizen told us some weeks ago that he would donate a choice site for a hospital in Lancaster. Other citizens would no doubt subscribe liberally were the matter presented to them in a practical form.,..Mr. James T. Thomasson, son of Mr. Fleming Thomasson of the vicinity of Rock Hill, was shot and killed from ambuoh at Great Falls yesterday morning, where he had gone to make an arrest. The weapon used was a shot gun. Mr. Thomasson was at one time a state dispensary constable. He was about 50 years old and leaves a widow and several children. We have received a report from Mr. R. P. Neal of Heath Springs, of the number of bushels of grain threshed by him this season as follows: 1,000 bushels of oats. 415 bushels of wheat; total, 1,415. These figures make the the small grain crop in the county thus far reported 14.066 bushels As noted In our last Issue. County Supervisor Perry went to Indian Land the first of the week to Inspect the new bridge, known as Balles* bridge, over Big Sugar creek, on the road leading from Pleasant Valley to Fort Mill. He was met there by Supervisor Boyd of York. Mr. Perry returned Wednesday. The bridge was found to be all right ?completed according to plans and specifications. The structure Is 350 feet long. 130 feet being of Steele. The cost of the bridge and approaches is about $3,680, one half of which the county of York pays An attempt was made here Tuesday night to assassinate a well known colored blacksmith. Arthur Moore. He was lying on the floor of his house, face downward. when some one on the outside shot him in the back with a shot gun. A number of the shot entered his body, inflicting serious wounds. The force of the shot was weakened somewhat by Moore's suspenders, through which the bulk of the load passed. one or l\VO Ol lilt* WIUll Sliutn a nnoii child In the room on the foot. Wednesday morning a warrant was sworn out before Magistrate Caskey charging Johnson Benson, the colored man who has figured In more than one blind tiger case, with the shooting. A warrant was also Issued against him for alleged whisky selling. He was arrested by Chief of Police Hunter and lodged in jail. Moore was one of the principal witnesses against Benson in his recent trial and conviction In the mayor's court of selling whisky. W A story which to western minds may savor of ingratitude reaches us from one of the northern ports, says the South China Post. It appears that among a large quantity of foodstuff consigned to the famine-stricken people In China by American sympathizers were thousands of cheeses. It Is) asserted that the Chinese as a race abhor cheese, and the result is that in some of the northern places there Is a glut of this commodity at present. Big cheeses?once so rare?are now procurable for 60 cents each. A NEW WHALE. Interesting Discovery Recently Made By Antarctic Expedition. Rumors of an Antarctic whale unknown to science have reached this country from time to time, exciting Interest tinged with skepticism among European naturalists. These rumors have been amply confirmed by E. A. Wilson, naturalist to the recent discovery expedition. On January 28, 1802. three of these whales, easily recognized by the high and narrow back fin, were seen off Ross's great Ice barrier, and four others on February 8 following. They were not large, as whales go, measuring only between 20 and 30 feet In length, with short blunt muzzles, black above and white below, the characteristic fin standing three or four feet above the back. Mr. Wilson assigns this new whale to the Mystacoceti?the baleen or whalebone group of cetaceans?and considers that it will prove to constitute a new genus. It Is to' our grief that Sir William Flower is no longer among us to share the Interest in this discovery. Deep and catholic as was his affection for all .Ivlng creatures, he made the whalet his peculiar care, and sorrowfully foresaw their approaching extinction. For countless centuries (he said In a lecture to the Royal Institution In 1883) Impulses from within and the force of circumstances from without have been gradually shaping the whales into their present wonderful form and gigantic size, but the very perfection of their structure and their magnitude combined, the rich supply of oil protecting their internal parts from cold, the beautiful apparatus of whalebone by which their nutrition Is provided for. have been fatal gifts, which, under the sudden revolution produced on the surface of the globe by the development of the wants and arts of civilized man cannot but lead in a few years to their partial If not complete extinction. While Sir William Flower held that the evidence was "absolutely concluiVinf u'halas renroadnt thp ?dan tation of a terrestrial mammal to an aquatic existence, he was equally firmly convinced that they are not descended, like seals and walruses, from the carnivores, but that they exhibit affinities with the ungulates. True that none of the cetaceans are vegetarian, but Sir William Flower believI ed that primitive ungulates were omnivorous, as their least modified descendants, the pigs, remain to this day. Treacherous and misleading as Is most popular zoology, he considered that It was a true flash of intelligence which caused sailors and fisher folk to give to the commoner and smaller cetaceans such names as sea hog, sea pig and herring hog. The French also, not certain with lending us porc-polsson, to shorten into porpoise, have in turn borrowed meerschwein from the Germans and altered It to marsouln to denote plgflsh. EARLY RISING. A Habit Which May Severely Tax the Vital Powers. "There Is no adequate support for the impression that the early morning hours are In any way more wholesome or healthy than later periods of the day. Except In summer time they are apt to be damp, foggy, chilly and among the least desirable hours of daylight, says Doctor Woods Hutchinson in the American Magazine. It is quite true that during the summer there Is a sense of exhilaration about being abroad in these early morning hours, but this evaporates with the dew and Is apt to be succeeded by a corresponding depression and loss of working power later In the day. I have been observing my friends and patients for the past twenty years, in this respect, and am inclined to the opinion that not a little of the depresd"" q"'i norvnimnpsa which common ly develop In hot weather is due to excessive exposure to light, from habits of early rising, inherited from agricultural ancestors, not counteracted by three to four hours rest in darkened rooms in the middle of the day. Secondly, that the exhilaration experienced during the early morning h. s Is an expensive luxury which has to be paid for later In the day. In fact, I have found, that as a general rule, to put it very roughly, the business or professional man who rises an hour before 7.30 or 8, goes to bed, or loses his working power, an hour and a half earlier in the evening. Each individual has in the beginning of his day about so much working power stored up In his brain and muscle cells. If he uses this up with great rapidity In the early morning hours he naturally exhausts his stock the sooner in the afternoon or evening. It is largely a matter of when a man wishes to be at his best. If his occupation Is of such a character that he can clear off the brunt of his work in the early morning hours, then let him rise early. If on the other hand he reaulres full vleror and readiness of mind and body in the latter part of the day, or at night, then he must rise later to get it. Even in pure muscle work it is fatse economy to wopk too long hours." ' ANOTHER PLANT WIZARp. Remarkable Achievements by Prof. Leduc of Nantes. If Prof. Leduc of the pretty city of Nantes, in Frances, had flourished in the Middle Ages he would' probably have been tried for witchcraft, tortured and burned, says the Circle. His particular variety of scientific necromancy consists in toyink with life and in producing artificial plants and cells which conduct themselves exactly like natural growths, but which are composed only of inert matter. Leduc's experiments are so simple that any one can repeat them without elaborate implements. In the first place a tiny seed must be made which consists of two parts cape sugar and one part of copper suiphajte. Drop this seed in a solution of oije fQ ten per cent of potassium ferroGyanJd, one to ten per cent of common table salt and one to four per cent of gelatin, and in a few hours or (Jays something will happen. The seed germinates, roots and stems are produced, leaves unfold and branches shoot out in ail directions. The growth would buttle a botanist. He could not distinguish it from a real plant. The plant has all the functions of vegetation except one. Its development is arrested by poisons; it heals its wounds; it feeds; in a word, It does everything that can be expected of a plant except the reproduction of Its own kind, and even that Leduc refuses to consider an insurmountable obstacle. Although Ledue's artificial plants resemble natural plants so closely, and he Is himself Inclined to consider them a form of life, his opponents hold that they are no more vital than a paper flower or a wax doll. Nevertheless the experiments have raised a little scientific tempest In Germany and France. Scientists are wondering If the gradations of living to dead matter are so fine that It Is Impossible to determine at what point life begins, just as among the lowermost creatures it is often Impossible to classify organIsms as plants or animals. If the functions of vegetation can be reproduced by what we have been pleased to regard as deac\ matter it would seem as' though we should have to frame a new definition of life. 9eja Island Cotton.?According to a bulletin of the department of agriculture at Washington the successful cultivation of sea island cotton is confined to the area lying southwest of a line drawn from Georgetown to a point In Florida, but nearly all the crop is raised on the lands which lie adjacent to the sea, and upon the neighboring Islands. The annual crop fluctuates widely, according to the nature of the season but the average yield for the last five years in South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, .has been in the neighborhood of 95,000 bales of nearly 400 pounds each. There are several factors which enter into the successful growing of sea island cotton. It requires a sandy or a sandy loam soil, preferably with a clay or a compact sand subsoil about a foot below the surface. A well regulated water supply Is the most Important factor. And thorough drainage Is essential. Atmospheric humidity appears to be a prominent factor, and for this reason the fields which have an ocean exposure are said to produce a finer and glossier staple. A growing scarcity of labor has restricted the output of the Industry. Other sections than those in which It Is now grown have undertaken to grow the cotton, but with Indifferent success. In fact no other sections seem to be adapted to Its culture. Some portions of the South Carolina crop sell for as much as 35 to 60 cents a pound. A Unique Building.?The new building of the International Bureau of American Republics at Washington, when completed, will be unlike anything In Washington, if not in the whole world. It will serve as the International headquarters In one capital of twenty-one different American nations. The nearest approach to It will be the new Temple of Peace now being erected at the Hague. The cost of this Pan-American structure will be approximately 11,000,000, of which Mr. Carnegie has contributed $750,000. Thl- Imposing building will stand facing the White House lot upon what is known as "the Van Ness tract," which consists of about five acres, and Is only two blocks below the Corcoran Art gallery. The International Bureau of American Republics was founded seventeen years ago, but until very recently it has not had the sympathy of any of the American nations, but a new Interest has been created by the visitation of Hon. Ellhu Root, secretary of state of the United States, made to South America In 1906. This bureau has no vital connection with any department of the United States, It Is International and Independent, and is maintained by the joint contributions of the several nations. Its present object Is not only to advance commerce and trade, but t? strengthen comity and friendship among all the nations of tne western tiemispnere.
