The State campaign meeting will be held at Abbeville Friday, Aug. !('?. Speaking of ears and criminality, in what category shall we place the jackass ? Tomorrow the senatorial and con gressional candidates will address the voters of Abbeville. The Atlanta Journal thinks it is better to be able to do great things than to be a great orator. llarry Thaw has lost his tight for freedom. Evidently his money is; still holding out. i There is a revival of that old war talk between Germany and Great Britain. Jt is alleged that there are 2,r>(X) ^ names on the Democratic club rolls of Charleston that are fraudulent. The national house of representa tives has refused to order the build ing of any more battleships for the next year. Having exhausted its supply of nhntns of Mrs. Grace in costumes of various kinds, one of the Atlanta papers prints a picture of her dog. Unless your name is on the club roll tive days before the primary election you will not l>e allowed t<? vote. Just when we had about reconciled ourselves to the fact that we had for gotten the Turko-Italian war, alonj: comes a dispatch about the sinking of two Italian warships. We have patiently watched to sec some notice of our old friend, "O a r\ ?v yy iw* leiuporu, vj uiuirs, imi uc m have passed along with the old-fash ioned editor who used to stick type himself. One of the most important offices in the State?one that vitally con cerns the interests of the people?is that of railroad commissioner, and yet we hear practically nothing about it in the present campaign. Hon. Oscar Underwood has served notice that he will object to any more leaves of absence for congressmen. He riffhtlv savs th<?t the uublic busi ness demands the presence of mem bers and their duty to their constitu ents requires that they remain in Washington to the end of the session. According to The Georgian, a young South Carolinian who, while in Atlanta the other day, very vocif erously asserted his allegiance to Governor Blease, and who likened the present executive to^Vade Hamp ton, was arrested and steps were about to be taken to inquire into his sanity when a telegram from his fa ther bore the information that he was the victim of the cocaine habit. JUDGED BY EARS. Detective Burns, when shown a pieture of Gov. Blease, said that the fact that the tops of his ears were be low the level of his eyes indicated a criminal bent of mind. In the cur rent issue of The Jeffersonian Tom Watson reproduces a picture of Gov. Blease along with one alleged to rep resent the countenance of Tom Fel der. Watson Droceeds to show that. judged by the Bums standard of ears, Felder is seven times a greater crook than his distinguished enemy on this side of the Savannah, which, for all we know, may be eminently correct. Far be it from us to tax the Hon. Mr. Watson with defaming the Hon. Mr. Felder by labelling the likeness of John D. Rockefeller with the cognomen of the distinguished Georgian, but candor forces us to ad 24. nut umt nit: uiwciirsd ui rnutr in The Jeffersonian bears the same re semblance to our recollection of the urbane countenance of the fulminat ing Felder that a guinea pig bears to a horseapple. THE OAK SPARED. Many persons in the last few days have been heard to protest against the supposed removal of the great oak which stands in the centre of Wardlaw street. To all such we will say that this noble tree will remain just where it is. The street commit tee never at any time had any idea of cutting down the great oak. The widening of the street made it neces sary to remove die tiees on one side, but the giant oak is safe from the axe and will remain just as it is. THE BIBLE SOCIETY. i Believing that it is a good andj wholesome thing to turn once in a! while from the sordid things which usually engross the minds of men toj subjects of a higher and more elevat ing nature, we have devoted consid erable space this week to a short and imperfect sketch of the Bible Society, which i? in annual session todav. The history of the Bibljs Society is the history of Abbeville. It is onej of the ancient and honrrable land marks of a community noted tor its1 culture and refinement, and the good work which has resulted from its la l>ors is worthy of perpetuation. For 89 years?the greater part of century ?this society has, through all the changing fortunes of peace and war, labored zealously for the one object which actuates its labors?the dis semination of the Gospel. In that time the rolls reveal the names of many great men who have deemed this object worthy 01 tneir zeaious labort and who contributed of their time and means to the advancement of the interests of the society. Of late years these annual meet ings have not been attended with the social importance which character ized them in former times, but the meetings are still an important event in the life of the community and good and earnest men are still interested in the cause represented by the or ganization. We wish for them a pleasant and profitable meeting on the 8!)th anni versary. REMEMBER THE MULE. The temperature of last week, while very trying on humanity, vis ited its nenalties udou dumb animals. Many prostrations of mules and horses vve?ie reported. -Too much care can not l>e exercised in protect ing our faithful dumb friends from the effects of excessive heat. A little thoughtfblness, prompted by kind ness of heart, can do much to allevi ate the suffering of animals during the heated term, and a merciful man will surely see to it that the beast which renders him faithful service will have some attention bestowed upon his comfort. Aside from the humanitarian aspect, the commercial side should appeal to such as fail to appreciab the necessity of care by reason of u lack of sympathy for animals. The costof a good mule or horse is not an ? ? in a z*.?* .?.wi IllttlglllllUUlll 1117111, ?uu l 11C MIIVC wi thrift should be heard where'the voice of mercy falls on deaf ears. The carelessness of drivers is large ly responsible for the great suffering of animals in warm weather, aiid owners of livestock owe it to them selves to adopt vigorous measures for the protection of stock entrusted t<> careless help. THE WORLD'S WON DISKS. The question is often asked what are the seven wonders of the world. Popular Mechanics has attempted to answer the Question insofar as it ap-l plies to the modern world. The ed itor of that journal has taken a poll of nearly a thousand scientists, em bracing the greatest minds of this ;and other countries. Selecting 56 Subjects of scientific and mechanical achievement and suhmitttng the question to men of note, represent ing all branches of scientific thought and achievement, the result showed an increase in the number of those things classed as wonders from seven to ten. According to the sci entists, the wonders of the modern world are: Wireless Telegraphy, Telephone, Aeroplane, Radium, An tiseptics and Antitoxins, Spectrum Analysis, X-Ray, Panama Canal, Anasthesia, Synthetic Chemistry. ; Upon each of these subjects the magazine presents interesting ar ticles by men qualified to speak authoritatively. The seven wonders of the ancient World were: Pyramids of Egypt, .Pharos of Alexandria, Hanging Gar dens of Babylon, Temple of Diana at Ephesus, Statue of Jupiter by Phidias, Mausoleum of Artemisia, Colossus of Rhodes. A comparison of the wonders of the ancients with those of our mod ern civilization reveals the fact that jthe things accorded first place today are all for the advancement and up lift of mankind, each serving some utilitarian puapose either in the pres ervation and safeguarding of human (life or in assisting mankind in solv ing the problem of expediting com merce and intercourse between the nations of the world. It is a notable tact that of the seven ancient wonders, only one, Pharos, the lighthouse at Alexandria, served a practical purpose, which shows that, despite the pessimists, the world has greatly advanced in the knowl edge of things that pertain to the health and happiness of humanity. ; It is also worthy of note that the generation of men still present in the flesh has witnessed the inception and development to a state of prac tical perfection of all these things which scientists tell us are our great est wonders. And the beginning has just been made. Future generations will no doubt give birth to wonders that will surpass those of our own time eyen as we h*ye surpassed the ancient*, The end is not yet. This week we are having a wel come rest from the State campaign. FOR AN ORDERLY CAMPAIGN MEETING. * ? Mr. Hugh Wilson Desires De cency and Order to Prevail. Editor Press and Banner: In Saluda one day last week, during the campaign meeting there were nsti cuffs, which threatened bloodshed. Well, now, it seems that South Carolina lias been sufficiently disgraced by the methods of those candidates who, instead of showing why they themselves should hold office, take up their time in attacking the character of their rivals. Speaking for myself, I hope that our town authorities may have present at the coming Abbeville meeting a sufficient number of police to enforce a decent re spect for the proprieties of the occasion. And I hope that the county chairman may give notice to the speakers that they must not provoke our people to violence. The application of unparliamentary epithets should be forbidden, and if indulged in, the offenders should be taken in charge by the police. T* " ^ ? nuliHn cnAubai* nr JDCCttusr n. luaii 10 a. |>uVnv candidate, should give him no license to excite others to deeds of violence. Polite English is sufficiently extensive for a gen tleiuan to give utterance to the greatest truths. Public speakers should be heard with respectful attention, but if they as sume the role of bully or traduccr, the police should take charge of them. The people, as I think, have become thoroughly disgusted with the methods of the bully, which are liable to bring on riot and bloodshed, when some innocent by stander may receive the bullet that was intended for the braiu of the wilful dis turber of the peace. There is uo reasonable excuse for a gen tleman to assume In Abbeville county the role of the great big bully, which act may cause the killing of an innocent man. The possibility is, if speakers attack men's character in Abbeville county, and if they are not careful to avoid attacking men who are physically able and sufli clently courageous to defend theuiMives, somebody may be hurt in Abbeville county. Abbeville county is a county of educa tion and culture. It has little sympathy with the methods and practices of uhmj who assume the role of bully or tra ducer, and this fact leads me to fear that, not the guilty man, but the innocent man, may be shot. No geutletnmi lias u right to offend the decencies in Abbeville corni er 11 int ?u T would not like to see even the blood of a bully redden the Boil of Abbeville county, I hope that the speakers may observe the decencies and proprieties den.auded b. an intelligent and respecta ble constituency. Hugh Wilson. M K. KAMl'EV ON SITUATION. Gives llis Opinion on lilease i Feldor Quarrel. Editor Press and Banner: Will you allow me space in your valua ble paper to express myself on the lileasc Felder question that is now being so much talked about. In the lirst place, if l-'elder is innocent of what he has been accused of, why don't he ju't a man and come to South Carolina and stand trial ? Ami while he is supposed tube giving his evidence to the investiga tion eoiumittee in Augusta, Ga., he is doing nothing more nor less than telling false hoods 011 Gov. Blease, and trying to turn the people of South Carolina againat him. If he knew ail of this on our Governor why did he wait until the campaign begau, to make it public ? And us for those de tectives, we think they are all cowards or they would come and prove what they are telling. And what they are telling about the Governor receiving so much money from the blind tigers in Charleston, we don't believe a word of it. If it is true, what was the mayor of Charleston doing to lot it go on ? And again, wo can't believe that lie received any money for pardons. If such wjis the case, there are some in the penitentiary today that, if he would par don them for money he would surely get it, and these same ones he hus refused to pardon. Of course we know tliut ourGovomor is not a perfect man?and who is it that i*?? but it is almost impossible for any one niuii to be guilty of us much as Gov. Wease has been accused of. We fully sympathize with him, and hope how soon the time will come when he can prove all these accusations to bo false,?and while he is being accused of all this graft, 1 wonder how much Folder and his gang arc being paid to make the accusations. We would like to know. J. W. ltarnpy. Calhoun Falls, S. C. Don't h;t lice cat up your valuable jhjuI try when it? so easy tu get rid of tliem.

Brand, Trafllo Manager, I VAST WEALTH GOES TO WASTE Annually Hundreds of Thousands of Tons of Sulphuric Acid Are Car ried Off by Streams. One of the most Interesting of the byproducts of the coal mine is sul phuric acid. Coal veins contain sul phur, most commonly In chemical com bination with Iron. The poorer the coal the more sulphur la there. Such compounds, becoming oxidized, form sulphuric acid, great- quantities of which in a free state are continually draining from the mines into the rivers. This sort of thing is going on at such a rate that the amount of sul phuric acid oarried away by the streams of the coal region of Penn sylvania In the course of a yew has been estimated by the water re sources branch of tbe government geological surrey at 970,000 tons?a quantity equal to more than two thirds of the total sulphuric aokd con sumed in a twelvemonth in the UDited States for industrial purpose*. Sulphuric accid has many uses la the arts. Among other things, It is em ployed to clean Iron before the latter is galvanised; likewise in the treat ment of sheet Iron for making tin ware, and the wire for fences and nalte. For these and other purposes 75,000 tons of it are oonsumed annual ly in and about the city of Pittsburg. Mark, then, the pity of the circum stances that, as determined by the government exports, no less than 95, 000 tons of sulphuric acid flows in a year past the town of McKeesport, in the Youghiogheny river?that is to say, 20,000 tons more than is utilized industrially In Pittsburg and its vi cinity during the same period. To put the case otherwise, fully $1,200,000 worth of sulphuric acid, pro duced by nature, Is carried away every year by one' stream in a neighborhood wnere tne same stuff is required ror use by thousands of tons in factories. Here is a problem for the industrial ah wrist V) ?olve?the obvious difficul ty Hi fee war being tbat the eoiutkm of acid le-so very oflute that attempts to concentrate ft "would be likely to prove unprofitable. Incidentally, the' acid robs the streams of all their oxygen, kills the fishes, and attacks structures of Iron.

The exhibit of the special school for truant and incorrigible boys at the child welfare exhibit has attracted much attention, and there are fre quent inquiries concerning the boys themselves who have been greatly changed by their training iq the school, says the Indianapolis News. The following story was told at the exhibit An InrnrrleHhlfi vnnnerstA* xphr> while In the public schools had caused nervous breakdowns and diaoourage ment among the teachers, and who had gained for himself the name of "the worst boy In the city," approach ed an instmotor oi the speotal achool and said: , 'T wish to speak -with you."

At any rate, a speaker at the Iasttaitiaa oi Electrical Engineers in Loo doc. held out a hope that this wonderful and scientific problem can be solved. The suggestion is that by means of applied electricity clouds approaching our coasts shall be dispersed and pie vented frou? erossing the country. In other words, the clouds would .be broken and made to disgorge their moisture at sea. The electrical defense of our coosts, if established, could be used at will, but the principal trouble would be the pleasing of everybody. Where one farmer, for example, would require rain, another might demand fine weather. Undoubtedly if weather control were required scientists would proceed with their invention; but at present there seems no possibility of the nation at large requiring weather to order, for anai suits oue muii uucu um oun. uw other.
