PROGRESS OF CAMPAIGN Now and Then a Bit of Life is Inject ed Into the Speaking of the Can didates. Chesterfield, Special.-The candi dates had about 400 people to speak to in the court house herc. Mr. Lyon, candidate foi* ./.ttor?iey Gene ral.-was introduced as the first speaker. In icply to Mr. Timmi?s-eard, Mr. Lyon says he has never asserted dispensary insolvente- but, froiii appearance?, he believes ii. He doubts if the dis pensary could, by liquidation pay its debts, because it has now on hand a great stock of cheap liquor bought at hight prices. Mr. Ragsdale, who feels that unworthy imputations have been brought into this campaign, in a cool deliberate way bc said: "Anybody who. says I have any* connect iou with thegrafters or have.thrown anything in'the way of the success of the in vest iuat io ii committee lies and lies knowingly-/' Continuing. Mr. Hays dale sahl thai Mr. Lyon had likened !hc officer? of the State dispensary to buzzards and yet Mri Lyon had voted to pt?t Messrs. Wiley and Rawlinson into office. i Mr!"Lyon Enters Denial. Mr. Lynn arose at this and said: "I have never called either Mr. Wil eys of afr. Rawlinson's name in any speech on the stump, i voted for Messrs; W??ev and Rawlinson and know nothing agaiusi them.' Mr. Ragsdale: "Mr. Lyon said the buzzards were ^.atherius around that festering: carcass on the Cungaroo. .'; Slr. Lyon: " I said thal and will r-ay it again/' Mr. Rageilale: '- And Messrs. Wiley and Rawlinson gather about the Slate dispensary lo carry on the business cd" the St ate.'s Thc audience ebel ed loudly for both candidates, perhaps more cn thiisiastically for Mr. Ra.csdnlc. Mr. (!. L. Walker, candidate for the bffiee ol' comptroller ficucral says ht- is a private citizen <?i! Green ville and is not responsible for in equalities ol' taxation in that county. If properly is returned at the usual value then the three-mill constitu tional school (ax will be doubled. He is opjx).sed to the flexible levy pro posed by thc comptroller general, be cause this would take the assessment, of taxes out of the hands ol' the peo ple and pul i! into the hands of the few. lt is strange, he thinks, that the Southern Railway properly is re turned at only 30 per coil, ol' ils val ue. In reply to Mr. Walker. General Jone? said 'ie is not afraid (d' the railroad. He has been lighting them for years anil during his administra tion, $2.000.000 has been added lo thc assessed valuation of the rail roads in South Carolina. The Morgan block in the city of Greenville is worth $140,000. It is returned at $10.000. only seven pei* cent, of its value. The Casie block in thc same town is returned at only rive per cent, of its value. He cannot set aside the three-mill constitutional school tax, but if property were returned at its actual value, there would be no need of extra levies for the support or schools. Mr. dones cut a bill for 157 sent in by Thc Greenville Herald down to $1?.7?. , A Five Cornered Match. The two candidates for adjutant general Messrs. Haskell and Royd, gave a very friendly presentation of their opposing interests. It was thrust and parry in thc five-cornered match for railroad commissioner. Mess?s. Carisler. Sullivan. Sellers and Sum merset t "knocked" Col. Walton's record. The colonel claims he is holding up well under the attacks of his four opponents. For governor Mr. Joel E. Brimson was glad to see his badge being worn by a good lady of Chesterfield and wagered that no body would wear the badge of a dis pensary candidate. Mr. Richard 1. Manning was received with loud ap plause. He con ii ned his remarks lo former methods of argument. When asked how he would insure the ab solute purity of liquor he replied that there is no ideal way but the safest manner is to buy it from govern ment bonded warehouses without having it pass through any middle hands. Mr. John J. McMahan believes that the proposed Raysor-Man liing bill would allow loo lunch latitude in the amount ()?' liquor lo be ordered out under each contract. According I?, the constitution certain pro ti ts from the liquor business became as soon as made, the properly of the schools and should be turned over to ih?m ami yet we now have the State dis pensary due the schools $590.00. Mr. Edwards inveighed against LIIC power of corporate interests. Mr. A. C. Jones 'advised the people of Chester field to petition for an election io vote out tbe dispensary on the day of the general election so there will be no extra expens' to the county. Ho .will give thc same advise to other counties. Col. John T. Sloan Md Mr. Brim sen that Hi-1 color of Iiis badge iii".? catcd the 28th of August would be a blue day for him.

One of the main features of the .week's weather was the continuation of excessive cloudiness that has-been so characteristic a feature since the first of the month, although in many localities there was slightly more sun shine than there was in the two pre vious week clear days having been noted in various parts of the State on Friday and Saturday. The temperature was quite uniform throughout the entire week with no noteworthy variation from the normal or seasonal heat. The weekly range in temperature was from a minimum of 62 degrees at Greenville on thc lStli to a maximum of 96 degrees at Heath Springs on the 20th. There were numerous showers and thunderstorms during the week, rain havinng fallen on from three to six days in nearly every part of the State. The weekly amounts of rainfall were generally above normal at all sta tions, while in thc extreme northwest ern border range of counties the rain fall was excessive, having been six inches or more, for the week; with a maximum fall of 6.SS inches at Clem son College. These heavy rains and some that fell in the central and east ern counties, damaged lands locally by washing I hem and flooded bottom lands on small streams, but caused no very high water in the larger riv ers.

In a residein-e on Washington street a child was stun ned but there was no evidence of the building having suffered from thc electrical discharge. The third storm of the series came up about 0 o'clock Saturday night, and though less se vere than those proceeding it, lhere was electricity enough iii "Ihc atmos phere to bum out the motor on a trolley car, shoe-king the occupants severely. Of the 950 telephone sta tions in Gi ecu vi lie 400 have been put < out of use by lightning.

Bananas and oranges always blend deliciously for either a fruit salad, for a breakfast fruit, or for a fruit des sert. Cut the bananas and the oran ges into cubes, arrange in layers in a huit dish, and then over all place a layer of stiffly beaten cream, which has been flavored and tinted a delicate pink by adding a few drops of straw berry extract. If for a fruit dessert, or salad, white grapes may be opened, the stones removed, and the fruit placed here and there among the ba nanas and oranges. When served as a salad, always pour over thc fruit a fruit mayonnaise, instead of the whipped cream, and serve with plain unsweetened rolls instead of with cakes or sweet wafers as in the case of a fruit dessert.

Put the mixture into a wcll-butiered pie dish and bake for half an hour. Then take the whites of two eggs aud whip.them to a stiff froth, add one and a half tablespoonfuls of sugar and a little vanilla. Just before the pudding is clone spread this meringue on the top and let it brown lightly. Before serv ing decorate the top with pieces of glace cherries. Chocolate Dates. If you want a really wholesome sweetmeat you had better set to work aad make some chocolate dates. You will require a pound of dates and a quarter of a pound of the best choco late. Wipe the dates with a damp cloth and split partly down to extract the kernel. Having got your dates ready, prepare the chocolate by grat ing it down, add its weight in icing sugar, two tablespoonfuls of boiling crater, and mix in a small brass sauce pan over the fire, raking care to get it quite smooth, and not allow it to boil; add just a few drops of vanilla. Put The saucepan inside a large one half-filled with boiling waler, in or :ler to keep the mixture fluid, and fill the dates by taking a teaspoonful of Lhe chocolate, tilling il in where the kernel was, press the sides neatly to sether. and you will have a shiny :hocolale ridge all down the middle if the dates. Put thc dates, when fin ished, into a cool place to thoroughly larden, and you have a most delicious ;onbon for dessert. Household Hints. A simple rule for soda bread is just half as much buttermilk as you lave flour. To restore gloss lo leather belts, nirses and bags, dip a soft cloth in fthite of an egg and apply freely. liol bread will cut easily as cold lt :he knife used is healed. Dip a knife in cold water before useing to cut warm cake. Powdered borax and pulverized al jm mixed and sprinkled on pantry shelves before putting the papers on, kvill keep auts away. Iron stains can bo removed from marble by applying a mixture of spir ts of wine and oxalic acid and wash ing off with warm waler within a few minutes. Whiting and sweet oil mixed to a paste and rubbed on silver with a :>iecc of flannel will brighten it. Wipe tvith a soft cloth and polish with charo n's skin. Equal parts of boiling water and strong vinegar used with a sponge io tvash calcimined walls will cut the calcimine and prepare the wall for papering. For a scald or burn beal white of in egg and kcroseuc together, rub on freely and cover injury with piece of aid clean linen. Repeal application jntil relieved. Stoves which arc to be taken down ind set away should firsL be rubbed iver with kerosene and then black ened. This preserves the i rou and in sures a fine polish. For poisoned skin use a teaspoonful it sugar of lead to one quart of rain ?rater. The leaves of bruised night shade covered with thick cream is an jther infallible remedy. Put two or three lumps of sugar in a cracked" vessel and add half a glass )f cold water.

CATCHES RABBITS IN NUMBER. Victim Traps Himself and Resets The Snare for Others. Consul General Bray reports from ' Melbourne that a new rabbit trap is being used in Australia with great success, whereby rabbits may be caught alive in very large numbers . It is used in connection with small trap yards, diagrams for the construe tton of which are supplied hy the patentee of the traps. The trap it self is 18 Inches lona:, 12 inches high and G inches in width. It has a bal anced moving floor and a door at each end, which opens and closes au tomatically. The weight of a rabbit on the inverse end of a floor closes the door behind him by which he has entered and opens the door in front leading to the trap yard, so that the rabbit has no option but to go on, and when he leaves the trap lt goes bock to its former position, thus re seting itself. The smalt trap yards are constructed of double-wire netting fences, in thc spaces between which green fodder or hay is cultivai ed or provided, and, although these foods cannot be reached hy the rabbits, it entices them to enter through thc traps to try and get out the fodder from the other side. Two, three or more traps may bc used in connec tion with each trap yard. The inven tion has been tried with great suc cess on several -extensive ranches in Australia, and the inventor has a number of certificates from leading ranchmen, one of whom states that with two of the traps set. at a small water hole he c;:ugiu G'oO rabbits in one night. Last Resort of the Wild. As to hunting and fishing, these Hudson Bay railroads will open up the chief game resorr of the world. The fur wealth is so great that the Eskimos bring in several hundred skins of musk oxeu every season in addition lo bales of polar bear skins, caribou, wolves and foxes. Some of the finest fur? of the world may be seen stacked up like hay on the shore of Hudson Bay, awaiting transporta tion to thc tra.iing posts. In one lo cality about the bay thc Eskimos trapped in one year more than a thou sand white foxes, besides wolves, wolverines and other animals. At. present -most of thc hunting is being done by Eskimos, and Indians, who make It a life business. These Eskimos are much like our natives of Alaska. T)ie men average about five feet three inches high and the women less than five feel. They have black eyes ar-d hair, and their hair is straight and as coarse as horse hair. They have flat ucees, high check bones and eyes which are Chinese tn shape. The teeth of the older wo men are worn almost to the gums from clewing sealskin, in order to make it soft and more easily sewn. Thes3 people live in snow houses during the winter and in sealskin tents in the summer. They subsist largely on seal meat or whale blubber a./.I their tires are oil lamps. They have but few domestic animals ex cept dogs*, although It is said that here and there a moose has been harnessed up and made to work.-. Experimenting With Minc Dust. i-In connection with thc report of mine-dust experiments In a West Vir ginia mine, it is learned," says the Coal Trade .tournai, "that further work upon this line will be done, us ing a cannon to obtain a simulation nf a blow-cut soot. It has been fully demonstrated that the fine coal dust in sofc bituminous coal fields will be come inflamed ami explode under cer tain conditions, bur so far there is no record, cf an occurrence of this kind in any of the spliur coal mines and since it is the practice st some of the splint mines to leave the coal catlings iusJ.-'e of the mines, the above exporinieiu was made with the view of uscerlabUug whether thc dint from the cuttings from thc spiiut coal could be' made to expiode by a blowout shot. A qn-jstion has arisen in the minds of the State mine inspection depart merit as to the advisability of; requiring the reinova' from thc splint mines cf the machine cuttings. At present there seems to be no market for cut tings from some of the splint ndncs and it would be a dead expense ;o the operators to re move these cuttings. Further experi ments will be made to satisfy the State mine inspection department to determine if those machine cuttings are a source of danger, and if it is found that they arc dangerous an ef fort will bc made io compel the re moval of such cuttings from all stdlnt mines."
