SI.50 Six i&onths, - - .73 WINiNSBORO, S. C. Wednesday. April 19, - - .1899 IS TRIPLER A FRAUD? The Keeiey Motor ha? found a ?uccessor. Charles Tripler is rrporlod as having claimed ihar th ee ?ull>n8 0t liquid air 0-111 pro*tuce-t and has pro- i duced power eaouih u uuke "en gallons more. If tt?i? i< true, th u the theories of scientists wTTT be upset, for perpetual moiiou will be uoo uupHsbed The American Machinist (Ma-0*123) is not inclined to believe the inven i >n - ^ * T f OuirC ox iripici* ;i "Perpe'ual motion is no more to be found in liquid air than i> anything else. . . , Although the anicle (mi McClure'i) was evideutly prep ired with Mr. Tripler's knowledge and cooperation, i: is,-after all, mott evi ^ dearly tte work of a professional i 'writer-up' of newspaper a^icle* who piles up words with equal fa?v l-tyi upon any eubjecr wiilnut ever embodying accuracy of statement i?r reliability of information. Mr. Tiip:cr is made to sav: 'I hive actually made about tea gallon*} of liquid air iu my liquefier by the use oc a'u>ut three gallons in my engine. Tbere is iherelore a surplusage of seven gallon* that has cost me nothing, and wnich I can use elsewhere for power.' If that is not perpetual motion, as popu'arly understood, :hen we do not know what it is. It is sufficient say ot the statement that Mr. Dickensou, Mr. Triplet's moAf. fPKsfed assistant, was compelled to acknowledge, at * recent meeting of the Frankliu lostimtf, that the statement was untrue. 4{We are br no means disposed to belittle Mr. Tripler's wonderful work in the prodoctiou of liquid air in practically unlimited quantity. He tus set a Dew sjeppin~-stane for the aivatoa of physical achieDement. We can not easily believe from what has been revealed that Mr. Tripler sees much more than any one else of the path beyond. The talk of the t?e of liquid air far the propuUion of steamships and balloons and similar service is purely visionary and unwarranted. It is much to be regretted that Mr. Tripler baa rowbere given any accurate information, such as is certainly in his pDSsession. For iustance, it i? certainly easily ascertainable h^w much liquid air can be produced 6y the ex' penditure of a jive 11 amoant of power. What objection can there be to letting the public know this simple fact? Iu determining the possibilities of liquid \ air, miking all necessary allowauces for the cradity of present appliances, this single fact would give us> a Irnstwcr:hvidea of the first cost of liqaid air. Knowiuif a? we do the cabic capacitv of the air cvlinder of Mr. Tripltfr's compressor, aud accepting Mr. Tripler's own statement of the rale at which the liqaid air is produced, it is easily demonstrable that os air compressed 10 1,500 pounds or so, not one-twentiei]^-aJL|he weight of it is reaiized asliquidalr.- faat isyof 20 pounds of air compressed, 19 pounds oTthe "air are thrown away to satisfy ?- '!>? oAi^IfiAno on/3 1 rvnnnrl rvf LUC bUVUUg WHUIUV-UJ) uun |fuuuv> v> liquid air, i r less, remains, This gives an idea of the power economy of liquid air so far as tbe production of the liquid is concerned. "As to the davelopment of powder from l:qaid air, we only know that Mr- Tripler has used an unmeasured quantity of 1 quid air to cause a steam engine to ran without doing any apdreciable or measured work. This ' simple experience and a restive imagination "seem to be all the buiis for the promises of ?ne rature wiae U9e or liquid ?ir for power development. If Mr. Tripler can give us any precise information st variance with the ?.. above, we will gladly welcome it and aid in its dissesrnation." The possibilities of suclMiB-i'uventiou will occur to apy intelligent reader: If a fraud, it can very " eo5Hy~be demonstrated. The Keeley motor fraud was exposed by testing it, and all frauds can be pnuctared by a similar test. The Germ in pipert think that the United Stales want the Samoiti Is lan*s. They are mistaken. TI23 McKin.ey administration may ?orce the islands upon the people of lue United States just as it i> forcing the PhiUipha<?s upon theoa. In this connection it may not be oaf of place to recall that President 'Cleveland during his fir^t terra and daring bis last term referred to the Samoan Government and warned Congress against eutangling alliances. He predicted that the form _ _> of government there would n3t prove stable, and that it would require warships to keep down a rebellion. He seem3 .to hare been right as he generally is when he ventures upon a predictioa. Mr. Cleveland may have I besu *rong in some things, bat in most thing# his judgment has been right. Col. brrax'g speech at the one dollar banquet is one oi his besl. The war ha* left toe R {publican? in a vu'nerabl* condition, and Mr. Bryan made the best of ii. Already the people are tired of paying the war tax, and Mr. Bryan struck a popular chord whe *! he referred to the inouie tax decision. " iiVhen I waat to be severe I quote, and when I want to criticise & supreme court, I quote from a member of the court," said Mr. Bryau, "and I am so cautious that I even prem _ n 1? l ier co quote s nepuouu&u mwuiuwr i who cannot possibly be an anarchist, I because he is a Repuolicau. Justice | Brown, in his dissenting opinion, used R thess word*: "I fear that in some hours of national peril this decision will rise np to paralyze the arm of the government.-' m m ?L The Best in the World.

" j SOUTHERN COTTON MILL PROHT5. Our business Budget. 5 Some late figures on southern cotl ton mill profits are interesting. Mr. . Hammond, banker, of Greenville, S. C-, in a published letter, tells of the remarkable success of the mills in f tbat section of the Piedmont belt. Some of Mr. Hammond's stalemeRic; and other facts regarding miUe-' elsewhere, are exceedin^ijj^hteresting. 1UC 11LOL \JX LLAU UiJUO UV,UA IUV XV/V/k UX the monntain raDge was the Piedmont, near Greenvirfe. It cost $100,000, * plant ancf workiog capital included.

X S suuucsa U15 iu! spired others, among; them the Reedy Manufacturing Company, which in 5 ten years has grown from 3,000 to 12,000 spindle, and paid for crery. tbinsr out of its surplus earnings. ' The Riverside Mills, at Danville, Va., , Oig;st? business in 1883, with a capital -stock of $5,000, and to-day are capi-" ! ralized at $2,000,000, of which $1,000,1 OCOisia preferred stock, which pays 5 per cent semi-annuallv, and $11,000,[ 0C0 is in common stock, which pays . 4 per cent semi-annually.

There may be such a thing as too r.uch diviiieud paying and too much investment of stirp'us in extensions of : the basinets.
