"M" IN ANOTHER STORM.
When within two miles of the city, your
correspondent again passes through a fearful
experience. Wind, thunder and lightning,
accompanied by a downpour of rain and a
terrific storm of ball stones irom the size of a
bulled walnut to that of a large hen egg.
They fell thick and fast, making knots on
"M's" cranium, pelting bis old faithful horse
<so severely she ran ofT, wrecking and turning
the buggy upside down and throwing "M
out In tbe tlusb, ball and rain, yet amid It all

wrecked batty. He came Id town mounted
bareback, with harness and mall poncb banging
over and about bis horse, making quite a
comic picture, awaking the kind attention of
many friends by the time be reacbed the
front of tbe pom office. His mall was lntaoi
and all rlgbt, but bis box of cherries 01s1
given him by a lady friend) and a bucket of
butter Just purchased, were both reokoned
among his losses.
We are grateful (or kind attention and shelter
given us by the family of Oliver Hill,
nearest bouse where we were so suddenly and
unexpectedly dismounted.
We watched tbe gathering of tbe dark, angry
cloud all day,and could at no time see
any "silver llDing," and we drove before It as
It rolled up In awful blackness until within
balf hour's drive of home, when it overtook
us with the above results.
This we are sure will be chronicled as one of
tbe worst hall storms that has visited tbls
county for many years. We rear bsd news
from the Flatwoods and Savannah river section.
No doubt great damage has been done
to cities and towns, stock and orops.
The water courses were swollen in a short
gpaoe of time, even the Blue Hill branch, as
we crossed, was up to tbe bridge looking quite
angry In Its wild and rapid rush, as if it loo
would bold us np again, but not so, we ventured
and landed safe and sound on tbe opposite
shore. After tbe storm, then comes tbe
calm, and in tbls quiet moment our heart
goes out in gratitude to Him who rides upon
tbe storm, and speaks, "peace be still," nod
even tbe winds and waves obey Him Ye",
o Him who holds us in tbe hollow of His
hand and saves us in time of danger, even
from the raging tempest. Qod be praised for

I BUDGET OF NEWS ALONG ROUTE NO. 8.
A terrific ball storm covered tbe route last
Monday afternoon, doing great damage to
crops.
Many farmers were busy last Monday reaping
tbe golden grain, but how It came out after
tbe storm we oannot yet tell.
Lebanon's fair daughters who are In attendance
upon tbe commencement exercises of
Clemson College: Misses Lucy and Lizzie
Olbert, Misses Sarah and Margaret Evans,
Miss Mamie Baskln.
Miss Maggie Evans Is visiting relatives In
Chester, and will go from there to Hock Hill
to attend tbe commencement exercises of
Wlntbrop College.
Miss Nelle Watson, one of tbe brightest
young ladles of Wlntbrop College is expected
home tomorrow.

ton are growing nicely and looking well
where thinned to a stand and worked out.
Miss Lillian McCanty and Miss Rosa Knox
with Master Lonnle Knox took In the commencement
exercises of Mount Oarmel High
School last week, and report a delightful time
and fine commencement. Moutit Carrael has
always been up-to-date In her school ayHtem.
Mrs. R. W. Bruce with her handsome baby
boy spent last week most pleasantly with her
rather and family, Mr. Thomas McNeill of
Sharon, returning home to the city on Saturday.
Miss Ellen Link Is visiting relatives at old
Wellington, now Link's. She Is at present
the guest or her brother, Dr. W. E. Link.
Mr. Arthur Latimer rormer teacher of the
Sharon schooi, spent a few days or the past
week with blB friends and scbolarR of that
neighborhood, being the guest of his friend
Mr. W. E. Penney.
Commissioner Nick lea has had the lumber

Whlte'B creek, laid down, and expected to
bave bad It finished lor "M" to cross today,
but guess be will be disappointed, owing to
high water and heavy rainfall. When Cora
mUsloner Nlckles gets a "move on him," be
moves in a harry,
"M" acknowledges the receipt last week of
three boxes of delicious cherries presented by
one of tbe prettiest little girls and two of the
handsomest little boys of Route No. 3. Also
returns many thanks for a bucket of luscious
raapbemeR presented by one of his lady
friends. "M" Is luoky, notwithstanding the
"storm center" that seems to hover about his
pathway.
Mr. and Mrs. W.J. Edwards were visitors In
the city last Monday.
Mr. Eugene Link of tbe city spent last Sunday
with bomefolks in the Flatwoods.
Oats are very One In tbe Flatwoods. Major
Arthur Parker bas the finest crop that has
been raised on his plantation for several
years.
Mr. John A. Wilson hag we believe, tbe
best looking cotton along Route No. 8. It le
hoed to a stand, well worked out ana Bianas
five to eight inches high. He also has a floe
crop of oats.
Messrs. Gilliam Brothers, Hiram Lawson
and J. R. Thornton began harvesting last
Monday, aDd we tremble lor them after the
storm which evidently was severe In their
section.
TIME IS THE POOK.MAN'S CAPITAL.
Yes, time is money. This Is a true saying,
but not appreciated and fully realized by the
Southern people, and especially by the agricultural
olasa. It is noticeable by their
knocking off work the greater part of every
Saturday and pulling their teams to town literally
loaded down with "human" freight.
One load to town, and "two back" on the
same wagon, viz: eight to ten negroes mounted
on a big load of hay, porn and provisions.
This is harder on the teams than plowing all
day.
These are suggestive thoughts called forth

we counted over tbe ax me territory 121

Tbls shows a big difference and In tbe wind

for lost time, wblob if counted up In boura
and days will amouDt to a great deal by tbe
end of tbe year, but unfortunately will appear
on the wrong side ot tbe ledger. A great
deal of this lost time is from force of habit.
and bad management. We know tbe bands
bave to oome to town some time, bnt Is It necessary
for every one on tbe plantation, men,
women and oblldren to oome? Tbere Is always
a "feather t bat breaks tbe camel's back"

will do much damage. Let us remember

"Foar Clean, Straight Yearn."
(Tbe A. R. Presbyterian.)
Webavejast been reading of a boy who
aid this at tbe close of his college course, be
had left four straight, clean years behind.
It may be a true story, or It may be Action,
but It suggests some thoughts.
Tbe boy who can truthfully! speak of bis
college days as "straight, clean years." bas
something for which be will be more and
more thankful, and which will brio* blm
more and more pleasure as the years go bv.
Many bave regrt-tied bitterly the "follleH",
and tbe worse tbun lollies of their oollege
days, but It bas never been our experience to
meet up with one who regretted bavlog|ilved
a straight, clean life, no matter In what position
his youthful years may bacs been spent.
If In the army, In the workshop, or elsewhere
In tbe various activities of life, It Is well that
all tbe years be on straight lines.
With many It Is regarded as a college boy*B
privilege tosow bis "wild outs." TniogH that
would ?end a negro to jail and on to the penitentiary
are only sowing wild oats when
committed by college boys. Of cour>e tbey
are expected to sober down when tbey get
through college, And some of tbem do. Not
all however, bat some of tbem do. We are
acquainted with some whosowed a full crop
of wild oHts In and around Due Weal In tbelr
orlloge days, but have since been towing
seed ofa very dlflerenr Kind.
But one serfoa* trouble Is tbat tbere Is but
little opportunity to change impression*
formed tbeb because associations change at
tbe end of oollege life. M*ny of oar oollege
mates we have seen bat seldom slnoe we left
tbeoollege. Some of tbem are very different
from wbat tbelr oollege days promised ; and
yet?and yet, it seems so easy to think of
them us we knew tbem tben. A sower of
wild oats may become a sower of gospel seed
but bis college mates will remember the days
when he sowed bis wild oats.
This Is a truth that applies to all and not
merely to college boys. A Clean, straight
life behind 1b a blessing to any one?a blessing
In the way of a happy memory and a
help to thinga still higher. But tbe otber
kind of lift leaves memories In tbe mind of

Here Are the Point* That Go to Mak*
a Centenarian.
Here are the points of a healthy mail.
If you have them all you may, barring
acoldents, count on being a centenarian.
If you have most of them, you'll reach a
ripe old age, but even if you have only a
few don't be alarmed, for many apparently
crazy human machines last a surprisingly
long time.
First, your body and limbs should be
plump, but the plumpness should be of
the firm and muscular, not the fleshy type.
Your figure ought to be erect, and, whether
you are tall or short, well proportioned.
Length without breadth Is a very bad
thing in a man, for there is no room for
vital organs large enough to thoroughl/
perform their duties.
Your step should be springy and elastic,
your gait firm and easy. These things in*
dlcate muscles of good quality and nerve
of good tone. Tour eye should be bright
and neither prominent nor hollow. Bright
eyes show that the circulation of blood In
f.hA hmin Is unod.
Your complexion should be clear and
fresh. It is usually not well with you
when your face is pale, sallow, florid or
subject to Midden flushings. But in this
matter yo or occupation has great influence,
and you might have the worst possible
complexion and be in perfeot health.
But that, of oourse, la the exception, not
the rule.
Your head should not be very large, or
at least if it is large your neck, shoulders
and chest ought to correspond in size. If
yov. feel your pulse, it should be regular;
if it drops a beat now and again or beats
very fast and excitedly after the least ex-'
ertion or emotion then the heart is weak.
Your breathing should be tranquil and inaudible.
Any sounds mean that the passages
are more or less clogged.
You should not know you have a stomach?that
is to say, as a rule. Of course
there are times when that organ gets out
of order in the healthiest individual, and
then it is always Bure to make its owner
aware of its existenoo. You should always,
except when the weather is "bitterly
cold, feel comfortably warm through your
whole body, eveu to the tips of the fingers
and toes. Otherw ise something is wrong
with the circulation or the heat producing
apparatus.
You should have sound sleep, Without
dreams or nightmares, and it should not
last too long or too Bhort?say, eight to
eight and a half hour* every night.
Tour voice should not be hoarse, and
von should be a stranger to sore throats.
Your appetite should not be too great or
too email, while you should not be a sufferer
from headaches, giddiness or neuralgia,
and, of course, you should not have
palpitations or falntings or varicose veins.
If you answer to the above description,
you have neither disease of the brain,
spinal cord, heart, lungs, liver, stomach,
muscles or nerves, and you are In as perfect
health as it is possible for human beings
to be. A
But at the same time many a round
shouldered, narrow chested, thin and sallow
man is as tough as steel, works hard
and lives till he is almost tired of the 1
world, and, of course, even the healthiest
of us must go through a course of colds,
coughs, headaches, dyspepsia attacks and
the like. 1
Still, if your chest is small in proportion
to the rest of your body you ore likely to
have less stamina, and you should not
overdo such things as football, cycling or
even brain work.?New York World.
He Did Hi* Beat. 1

was inquiring for a copy of the Bible, and
the shopkeeper brought forward one at
half a crown. But the old lady wanted
something cheaper. A copy at 18 penoa
was produced containing illustration .
But the Illustrations, the old lady averred,
entailed superfluous expenditure.
"Then, here," said the shopkeeper, "ii
a copy for a shilling which contains a1
that's necessary for salvation." He descended
from the ladder and laid it before '

PRIMITIVE HOOSIER CABINS.
Dwellings Constructed by the Earlier
Settler* In Indiana.-In
the primitive Hoosier cabin?rough,

happiness has been enjoyed than in all the ]
One, costly mansions in the great city of (
New York. Thousands of wealthy, re- (
Bpectable men and women are living today
who were born, reared and married in
snch humble cabins. And there are millions
of people living today who have no 1
idea how these cabins are constructed. ]
The pioneer from some of the old eastern
or southern states, with his wife, six ,
or eight children, gun and dog, would (
come to Greene county in hiis covered
wagon, which was the family abode until !
he erected his cabin, which was construct- <
ed thus: Cut about 40 logs 8 or 10
inches in diameter, 20 of them 16 feet long 1
and 20 of them 14 feet long; slope the
ends off half and notch the other half to i
fit; put chunks in the cracks of the logs
and daub them with mud. The gables |
were made of shorter logs until reaching
what is called the comb, the ends sloped
down to suit the pitch of the roof.
It being now ready for covering, cut
poles 5 to 0 inches in diameter, 16 feet
long, or the length of the house, notch
them down on the gables about 8K feet
apart. Cat down a large oak tree, square
the butt and saw cuts four feet long, spill
them In blocks about six Inches square,
take a frow and rive boards half an Inch
thick, lay them lengthwise on the aforesaid
poles or rafters, breaking joints; 1
weight them down with small poles. Ton 1
are now ready for the floors. Cut poles i
six Inches in diameter, length the width
of the cabin, for lower joists; place them i
about four feet apart; cut a tree?generally
linn or some soft wood?saw logs about
six or eight feet long; split into slabs ,
about three Inches thick; hew smooth. j
With these make the floor. The door is
made of boards the same as the roof, only
longer. The fastening is a wooden latch
with a string hanging on the outside.
One window, 14 by 16 Inches, has greased
paper for glass. The ceiling is made |
with poles ior joists covered with clapboards.
Now comes the most scientific mechanical
mrt of cabin bull din cr?the fireplace
and chimney. Saw oat aboat six feet
wide oat of one end of the housfe, six feet
high from the ground; case up the aperture.
Inclose this aperture, extending i
back far enough for the back wall of the i
fireplace and as high as the aperture. ,
Now dig yellow clay, dampen and with a
small maul beat down and form the ;
hearth, jambs and back wall. Generally
the jambs and back wall are about a foot
thlok. Now split sticks the proper length
for the size of the chimney?the sticks 1
about an inch thick and IX wide. Make
a mortar of the yellow clay and build your
chimney to the desired height. This makes
a comfortable dwelling without nails, (
glass or paint. Move in and have a "hoe
down."?Linton Call.
Black'a Method of Writ In*.
It is said of the late William Black thai 1
his literary mothod was a slow find pain- ]
ful one. He thought about. a proposed
book for months before he put pen to paper.
He conjured up the chief incidents i
and characters and lived with his person- ,
ages, eo to speak. When he came to the
writing, ho was obliged to have perfeot ,
quiet. He could bear no noise at alL
Those who complain of his endless desorip- '
tions of scenery will bo interested in knowing
that he made careful and elaborate
notes of that scenery, of localities and '
especially of atmospheric effects.
"If one does not correctly and completely
frame a character or an incident with
all the circumstances of the time," he ,
Bald, ''one gets only a blurred page. For '
example, one may say, 'It was a beautiful
day.' But what kind of a beautiful dayf '
It must be described so that the picture 1
shall be beautiful and finished. Every human
being In real life has a background,
and must have in a novel if the story Is to i
appear real to the reader."
Ifervef Well, Rather!
A woman shoplifter was caught stealing
an umbrella one day in a Philadelphia dry
goods store. But it was decided not to
prosecute her if she would pay for the urn*
brella, valued at $2.50, which she did. 1
The next day she returned and requested :
to see the manager. When that surprised i
person could recover himself sufficiently i
to ask her business, the woman calmly
told him that she had been pricing um- (
brellas in other stores and found she could .
purchase one like her own for $2 and she
wanted to know if he wouldn't refund her
60 cents. As a tribute to her monumental
aerve the 50 cents was handed her in si- 1
lenoe.?New York Tribune.

PLAT A'S ROAD METAL
NOT DESIRABLE EXCEPT IN SMALL
QUANTITIES.
Acta M ft Cement to Knit the Stone Together
When Properly Uaed?Action of
Water on the Roadbed ? Prevent* Dut
and Wear?Tree* and Hedges.
The part played by water on crushed
gtone while undergoing rolling is sevsral
fold. In practice broken atone com*
pletely wet down is tborongbly rolled
with a roller weighing ten or more
tons. The wet surface of the angular
rock fragments permits a more thorough
jompacting, as the water acts as a lu*
bricant, allowing the stcnes to slip by
sue another with greater freedom than
would be the case were the fragments
dry. At the same time the water re1
tains the powdered rock resulting from
abrasion of the particles and holds il
between the fragments.
This prooesa is reaotionaiy and cumulative,
for the presence of the powdei
of attrition acts through capillarity tc
take up and retain still greater quantities
of water until the spaces between
the pieces of broken stone composing
the upper part of the road become completely
filled with powdered rock. Not
a little of the cementing or bonding oi
a road during rolling is in reality the
effect of capillarity existing between the
grains of powdered rock and the adjoining
walls. . i
This prinoiple may be observed or
firm aanohnma and annri rrmria Willie
wet, the beach or road may be firm and
unyielding, allowing heavily loaded
teams to pass over them, but when drj
such places are impassable for heavy
teams and difficult of passage for all
kinds of vehicles. In this oase cementing,
as ordinarily understood, playi nc
part in producing adhesion betweer
the grains. Upon drying, the grains ar<
entirely free to move over one another,
having lost the water which served to
bind them together.
When a macadam road is thoroughly
compacted, a careful inspection will
Bbow that the fragments of broken stone
are olosely packed together and the
Bpaces between are filled with a fine
powdered rock, which, if derived from
tk suitable road material, carries a small
percentage of olay. Any of our commonly
used road stones contains an appreciable
auantitv of olav disseminated
in little particles in the feldspar whence
It has been derived by the weathering
of the rock prior to its removal Iron
the quarry.
The microscope shows that the feldspar
of our traps and granites and othei
road stones is never entirely free from
a considerable amount of kaolinizatios
or alteration to clay. This change hat
taken place in the crust of the earth tc
? great depth, and no road material oax
contain feldspars free from more or lesf
of this mineral, depending upon the
obaracter of the rook and the amount
of weathering to which it has been subjected.
By the gradual wearing of the
feldspar, by the abrasive action, of the
roller, the wheels of carriages, and the
feet of animals, a small but important
quantity of clay is liberated, and thif
in combination with any clayey ma
terial that may have been added to the
road serves to. furnish the necessary
quantity of cement to knit the brokex
stone firmly together. It is not to be

of clay acts otherwise than objectionably
when used in roadbuilding. As s
rale nothing is more undesirable thar
the clay element in highway construction,
yet a little mixed with some ol
our southern limestones serves to in
orease their cementing and enduring
qualities. Upon drying, the powdered
rook sets much after the manner of c
Bandy clay and serves not only to bind
the pieces of rock together, thus giving
rigidity to the way, but to retard the
wear due to any differential motion ol
the fragments over one another while
the load is passing along the road. A
wetting of the superficial portion of e
roadway during rains tends by the expansion
of the cement to knit the surface
together and make it impermeable
to the passage of water.
From a theoretical standpoint il
would seem probable that a certain condition
of moisture instead of being objectionable
to a roadway undergoing
constant use is rather desirable than
otherwise. A condition of ihoistnesi
serves to prevent loss of material won
fine by the abrasive action of the wind,
and the presence of a thin film of wet
dust acts as a cushion to protect the
fragments of rook from the rude touch
and impact of passing trafflo, thus lessening
the wear and tear of the surfaoe.
In the same manner the moist cemenl
operates to distribute the bearing surfaces
of the broken stone and to reduce
the local intensity of the friotion between
one rock and another, although
cement in this condition will tend tc
allow a greater freedom of movement
among the broken stones, and hence in
this way make the surface more yielding.
Assuming that the loss through
increased abrasion of material resulting
from moist cement between the rock
fragments is equal to tLe saving due to
the cushioning effect of a small quantity
of moisture on the surface, there still
remains a saving to the road by the
protection afforded by preventing excessive
loss through the action of the
wind.

In this country no precedent has
been established in the matter. The
