'Near Bear" Men of Asheville Jugge on Charge of Selling the Real Stuff Asheville, N. C., July 20. Tbe "near beer Irtuemit.y received a rude shock this eveoln wben 80 of Its members were arrested o warrants sworn out by three private detei tlves. brotlght here aud employed by the Lai and Order league of this city. Thre warrant alleged tbe sale of "real beer" in 20 esses an t be sale of IIquof in 10 others. The delectl vei who gave out the information that tbey wet here for their health, worked quietly for thro weeks, buying bottles of various brands < "near beer." beer and liquors Irom the ui suspecting venders. Having secured whs they deemed to be sufficient evidence of la' violation, tbe detectives gave the police a Hi of the various establishments where the claimed to have bought refreshments, wit me ronuil loai ou warrants were serveu uu iu proprietors of as many places tbls eveuto*. Anderson's Sensation. We copy an acoount of the trouble In It Anderson National Bank. We p.Iro noti< tbat the Dally Mall Bays that various pel sons or corporations have volunteered i lend the Anderson bauk, sums ranging frot S100.U00 Jown to Si,000. The ostentatious liberality In offering t lend the Anderson bank these large sun which the lenders of course expected to n celve back with interest is truly touchin The bank is worth several hundred thous and dollars, and of course the loss of S35.0 did not affect its credit. Possibly this was resson for the generous offers of loans. But we notice that the poor defaulter wt bad borne a good reputation for business it tegrity, and whose needs are great has h* no offers of help in his hour of ;nee< when be felt Impelled to go out into tt darkness. We also note tbat to bring hi back, the bank will spare no pains or e: . peuse. This newspaper has not SiOO,000, nor has S2O.ODOO nor even 81,000 to lend the rich ban to help make up its slight loss, but tb newspaper has $100 In cash to help pay th defaulter out of trouble. Let the bank co tribute as liberally to his relfef as it now p? poses to contribute to the arrest and pun is ment of an employee who was honest heart, but who was not strong enough to r slst tbe desire to speculate. Let the frlenc of tbe weak brother come to his help, ulnled ellort oould restore blm to bis fami and lead blm to believe that all tbe worl was not against hlra. Big Picnic At Zarline.

Mi9S Mary Syphan, gave a deligl ful pound party at her home ou Fer St, last Thursday evening, quite number of her friends were presei games were played and the eveni passed very pleasant to all who w< present X bible Not tip to tiate? i r? Chicago, July 25. Sunday school teachers should leave their Bibles at home when they i. set out to tench, according to Prof. C. \V. _ Votaw, of the University of Chicago divinity school, wtiolectured on "Ethics and the Suudav School," at the university. The speaker declared th? Bible waa not ? modern enough for the child, and that neither the pnpll nor the average teacher could a understand the Scriptures sufficiently to consider them. Prof. Votaw would have the _ Sunday school pay more attention to topics connected with contemporary existence than to the Scriptures. _ The Proffessors of our large colleges and universities are setting a pace In spiritual affairs entirely too swift for tne ordinary plodder. The above 1h only a mild mark of some of ,e their new propogandn. We are willing that they should seek after truth but when their ideas of truth come in direct conflict with tne only Anchor in eight in this stormy sea of life, the Holy Bible, then It Is high time to call a bait. s- It Is to be feared that these proffessors have [j~ been left to their own understanding to which they have leaned. :e Nothing, however, Is to be feared from these "* critics. They cannot see any fartne-Into the d mysteries of religion than can tne rest of us ' They have had no new revelations. Their view Is Juntas circumscribed as ourp. They have no more powers of reason on this quep. Hon than we have and they know not one whit more about it than do we. Emerson says that these questions give no one trouble except thote who go out of their l- way to hunt trouble, and he Is about right It is not a result that can be arrived at by ,e ordinary mental processes.lt Is a matter of Faith, and that Is one of the graces that these wise men ol the universities are very short ? on. These men lean to their own power of j, reason, and when human reason tries to '* flgure out the eternal purposes of the Al e mighty such reason frazzles out to inanity u and reaches absolute zsro. / >r_ While these learned men of the colleges t and uulversltles may startle us wltji their e strange doctrines, and while they may seem like lions to the rest of us animals, still when they open their moutbs to roar their voices sound strangely familiar, and beneath o the skin of the lion appears the poor, weak, n circumscribed, intellect, even as ours, tbat fails to pierce the causes of its own beiDg, I, though it may weigh the planets in accurate scale and measure the distance of the stars. Let them philosophize if they sea fit to do so, but do not turn loose the firm bold on your faith for ideas that emminate from f- minds not superior to your own, for this is >e not a matter to be settled by leaBon but by faltb. Concerning Snakes. The Abbeville papers tell ol a man in tbat county who killed tbirty-?even highland lC moccasins a few days ago and of a moman who found a large moccasin snugly ensconed in a hen's nest. Don't you iblnk it is'tlme to vote it out??Newberry Observer. Now isn't that a question for a sane man to ask? "Vote it out" when there are so many snakes In the county! Not on your tJn-?ype. Newberry has a Little Mountain, and Abbeville has a Little Mountain. Rattle Bnakes >' are indigenous to both localities, and snake e olte medicine is In demand. , Liquid snake medicine is almost aB good as i- a hot chicken loca#y applied. It may be tbat 5" the Observer leans to tbe hot chicken remedy . In that cane it is more difficult to keep the ] antidote on hands as it necessitates having * poulle vlvant" where be can be applied at a I) moments notice. Tbe liquid antidote Is said r to Improve tbe longer It Is kept, and is an ' unfailing remedy. The Observer Is Joking, toough. If you will II enter tbe Obeervei's home and "mosey" around to the dlulng room closet where tbe good lady of the house keeps her blackberry >f and scuppernone, and squint around a bit you will very likely find some A1 snake mede Iclneln sufficient quantlty for several applications. The Observer knows a good thing as well as otber folks and keeps a little handy In case of emergency, i, How about it? B ? ? 5 In God's Country Judge Ernest Gary, whose judgments are just and whose rulings are right left Abbeville last Sunday afternoon, wbltber he had come to see a mother who has aB muoh reason to be proud of ber jewels as bad the Spartan J mother Judge Gary said tbls was God's coun" try. Its trees and Its flowers grow to greater perfection here than on any other spot of ground on this earth, and he might have add* t Yi n t h a nnnntrr Mint crrntrn mnanlflrPnl trees and beautiful flowers produced the finest q specimens of maDbood hdi! the most beautl" ful women that ever came from the land of v the great Creator of the Universe. A country d ts blessed indeed that produces manly men. b, womanly women, splendid trees and beautl? ful flowers. )l Judge Gary owns the whole front of a big square that faces a main street and It Is bounded on two sides by streets at right it angles. He owns acres of what was once y known as the McGowau lot on magazine ^ street. It is the same on which Gen. Moie Gowan built his dwelling before the war. It now grows stately specimens of the forest_ and its ornamental trees Join them in beautyfytng one of the prettiest lots in town. The former home of Gen. McUowan has ie been moved to a place nearer the street. It :e has been put in the beBt of repairs, and the r- painters brush adds the finishing touches to to its splendid proportions, n 0 \ Successful BakerIS e_ Mr. L. T. Miller, a prince among good fe' ' lows and an honor to the mercantile pro' fesslon, haB added a baker shop to bis bustw ness. He bakes the best of bread and he takes a the beat of care of it. He has the right quality or paper in which each roil is wrapped separately. There are no flies on his bread, and the rapid growth of bis business attest both d the popularity of the man and the excellence j Of bis bread. Why any man's good wife ' should burn her self to death to bake bread In the store, when bread can be bought at less than It costs to burn up a good wile over a hot stove. Of course this burning business lt has no reference to the man who can afford to ^ burn up a negro now and then, or who can ,g eat sodden bread when good wholesome light ' bread can be had almost free of cosf.

He gave the plant a falthtul trial and long before the dictum of the Massachusetls sojt clety was Issued, pronounced the plant "N. ry o." a He says the lrult of the plant is devoid of at; acid, a requisite of all email fruit.

All insects have enemies. One kind of % 3bbcis are necessary to exterminate others, ife oan only equalize tbe two, and then dli bere will never be an Insect menaoe. By or be rotation of crops, no one crop which seds a certain kind of insect, will permit of p be existence in large numbers of posts, mi bis Is trne of tbe boll weevil. There are bout a naif a million different varieties of asects, wblch are divided Into two classes; ne kind sucks from tbe plant, and tbe ther eats tbe plant, Tbe following table is lven for information: For Inseots that eat, suob as grass hoppers, nd caterpillars, use tbese poisons, Paris reen, green arsenoid, white arsenic, London urple, hellebore, pyretbrum powder, arse- pe ate of lead; for sucking insects use keroane, kerosene emulsion, wbaleoll, soap, abacco decoctions, common soap, dry pyethrum, sulphur, lime, and mlscible*; for , eterrenis and dllluents, use land planter. oad dust, road sand, sulphar, llrae and Vl oar. \- oo dt. uooaricn waa next introduced ana c4 poke on the all Important question of "Soli tf. fertility." 2^ Dr Goodrich Illustrated bla remarks with J irge charts. Hli address was In aubstance as so allows: In tbls section the average yield of Mi orn per acre Is 16 bushels and In some sew- J Ions the amount 1s 100 bushels and 135 M mshels of oats per acre, showing the various f?; rades of soli.

By kl be aqpllcatlon of humus to the soil mols J ure Is retained. Humus Is the factor of A.i natter placed on the ground that keeps the i nnd or earth ventilated, The following table eti IIUHtrateR the v?lo<? of humus: 100 pounds of < mmus will hold 100 pounds of moisture; wi ame amount ofisand will bold 25i>onnds of tb ooislure; ar.nd-olay will bold 40 pounds; ke trong clay will bold SO pounds; and onltlva- 1 ed soil wliy bold 52 pounds.

Prof. Barrow !stated that any farmer who "f leslred to do so oonld send In bis name to ;lemson College, and ask for ;i t to be placed N in the regular mailing list, and be would relelve all the bulletins issued from tbe experiment station. Also be conld seoure the same . rom the agricultural department, in Wash- r, ngton, for the asking. All :the farmers were requested to send . n to Clemson specimens of any plant; dls- 5 <ase8 that may be prevalent in their sections. ,' Franking envelops were distributed for this jurpose wblob allows tbe matter to be sent ? ree of posuge, Those present were greatly Interested In " be discussions, and this was dearly shown jy tbe fact that questions were freely asked 1: ohinh unAiloiipahlA fpatnrA nf thlfl wnrfe. ? IMPORTANCE OF INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION. M w Prof, Daniel of Clemson College, spoke at p lengthen tbe Importance of Industrial Jedn- hi nation. V M Every word of his ."lecture vu thoroughly p jnjoyed. Its purpose was to relieve tbe te- w Hum of scientific discussion and to stress the Importance of edaeatlon generally and of u Industrial education particularly.His humor- tt cms Illustrations were well chosen, teach r lime driving home on,lmportant|fact of tbe B: aduoatlonal situation.* Prof. Daniel Is a most pleasing speaker; and u while he perhaps would not like to be pat u to tbe test touching bis practical knowledge r>f far mingstockralslng bug killing and tbe ci like matters ont of bis line, he will be a pretty good theoretical farmer when: be bas n listened to |tbe excellent lectures that be Is bearing from Connty to County. j a CATTLE RAISING, . ''Cattle Raising" was discussed by Dr. E. & Barrett. Dr. Barrett spoke about as follows: 9outh Carolina and especially this section is c! comparatively free from diseases of oattle. Tbe greatest menace in tbe North Is from 3 Tuberculosis In cattle, and we should be careful to keep it away from this section, L The Texas fever is scarcely known here. This & fever Is caused from tbe oattle tlok, and by tick eradication tbls disease will never be ex- a perlenced here. Hog obolera it tbe greatest S menace to bogs in this seotlon. He raid that Is no sure cure for |bog cholera, but that tbe n Clemson college experiment station bas a found tbe serum treatment the most effective. In-tbls a serum, prepored at the station, si Is given tbe unaffected bogs and It serves to a make them Immune and with this '.treatment and separation from tbe In reeled bogs, the b disease may be {stamped out of a berd of F Bwlne. Tbe station is prepared to send out a men to administer this treatment free of charge where the disease Is prevalent. We tl should raise our own cattle, and Import as V few as possible, and In this manner few diseases will be brought here, si ? .?? P Sun-proof Clbth. n Ureenvllle News. n Consul Qeneral William H. Michael of Cal- < cntta transmits samples of oloth manufactu- p red In India for tbe use of farmers and oth! era exposed to the direct rays of the sun, and ri writes as follows concerning tbe same: "Three samples of clotb, cotton and wool- t< en, which ought to be manufactured In tbe United Slates, are herewith transmitted. Tbe m clotb is made on solentlflo principles and p will prove a boon to farmers and all others whose work compels them to be exposed to t< the direct rays of tbe sun, It Is well under- o itood that sunstrokes or collapses from the effects of tbe actinic rays of tbe sun may be p warded off by wearing clothes made of oloth c? that coo forms to tbe plan of nature, as exemplified In tbe color of tbe skin and tb? pig- c ment under tbe skin of people who Inhabit the tropics. Tbalcboand shikari oloth are u jomlng Into very popular use In India, e*p?:lally with white yeople engaged In sport*, or ta In the transaction of business. Tbe clotb Is p, really attractive and possesses good wearing m qualities. "It Is to be hoped tbat American mann- a facturers of colton 'and woolen oloths will oerceive the merits of the samples and. as a jonsequenoe, establish an Important export Irade Id tbatcbo and shikari cloths from the United States to all tropical countries. The retail price of woolen thatcbo In Calcutta la $2 per .yard, {double width, and of cotton hatcho 68 cents per yard alnele wldtb: tbe retail prion of green shikari la S3 centa per 5 pard, sa gle width." It may be that a valuable suggestion to oar mill men la to be foand here. A simqle method of testing wbethel d milk has been watered is to take a wel ^ polished knitting needle and dip it into P si deep vessel of milk and withdraw it c immediately^ If the milk is unwaterded some of the fluid will adhere to the $ needle; but if it has been watered in the least degree, the needle will come out quit free of milky fluid. v ' ' ". ; . y.
