Catholic Church Dedicated Oc
tober 21, 1860.
lu looking through some old
copies of Th? Advertiser several
days ago we came acruss the fol
lowing notice of thc dedication of
the Catholic church, which, asMe
from its historic value, will be of
peculiar interest to many of our
readers, the date of this old copy
of The Advertiser being Wednes
day October 24, 18GU:
"The dedication of this noble
structure to God, on last .Sunday,
was a most imposing ceremony,
performed, as it was, by the Right
Rev. Bishop Lynch, and his assist
ant Clergy, with all the pomp and
solemnity demanded by so sublime
an occasion. The capacious temple
was filled to overflowing, with all
denominations of our people, and
nothing was omitted that might
have contributed to the grandeur
and the glory of the scene.
'The Choir was assisted by the
best performers and singers in Char
leston, and better Church music
never raised the aspirations of man
towal ds Heaven.
"The Bishop delivered a chaste,
clear, and eloquent address in the
morning, and in tue evening Dr.
O'Connel of Columbia made an
able vindication of the doetrine of
-transubstantiation.
Her Message.
The young man had been on bis
summer holiday for a short time
when ene day the telegraph mes
senger handed him this message:
Come down as soon as you can.
I am dying.
Kate.
Nearly a day later, after a long
journey he arrived at her home, and
was met on the piazza by Kate her
self.
44Why, what did you mean by
sending such a message?"
"Oh, she gurgled, I wanted to
say that I was dying to see you,
but my ten words ran out and I had
to stop."
Corn Contest Judges.
As the season for harvesting corn
is almost at hand, we have selected
the judges for The Advertiser's
corn contest. The gentleman whose
name appears first in the published
list of committees is requested to
act as chairman. In the event of
sickness or inability of any one of
the judges to serve, the other two
members are empowered to select
a good citizen to fill his place.
The judges will please see that
the corn is fully matured and thor
oughly dry before allowing it to be
polled. Blanks will be mailed to
each chairman for making reports.
Contestants will notify the judges
when they are ready to gather their
corn.
No estimates will be -accepted.
The land must be actually measured
and all com actually weighed. No
corn must be pulled before the
jndges arrive to measure the acre.
The following are the judges:
Elmwood-S N Timmerman, J
M Bell and M A Watson.
Faifa-P B Whatley, T M Dorn
and Jesse Prince.

.Give Your Boy an Education.
"What is the money value of an
education? The average reduced to
individual cases would be something
like this: Two boys, age 14, are
"both interested in mechanics. One
goes into the shops, the other into
a technical school. The boy in the
ahops starts at ?4 -a week, and by
2the time he is 18 he is getting
#7. At that age the other boy is
leaving school and starting work at
$10 a week. At 20 the shop-train
ed young fellow is getting 89.50
and the technical graduate ?15; at
.22 the former's weekly wages is
.$11.50, and the latter's 820; and by
Ihe time they are both 25 the shop
worker finds 812.75 in his pay en
velope while the technically trained
man draws a salary of $31.
These figures are based on a study
.of 2,000 actual workers made by
'the Massachusetts commission for
industrial and technical education.

He Knew Where it Was.
A gentleman who was continually
losing hi? collar button while dress
ing, complained to his wife about
j it. With an ingenuity born of the
I VL<a of hairpins she told him to hold
his collar button in his mouth :md
; he wouldn't lose it. This worked
! for several days, when one morning
j she waa?startled by unusual commo
? tion.
"What's the matter?" asked Ivs
, wife anxiously.
"I've swallowed the collar but
ton." said the mau.
"Well, responded his better half,
for once in your life you know
where it is."-Ladies' Home Jour
nal.

j ''I shall probably miss my train,"
j the irate lady informed him, "and
I shall hold you responsible. I want
your name, ray man. Do you under
stand? I want-youi-natue!"
The Boston driver clucked up his
horse easily. ''I'll let you have the
number ii* you like," he said, "but
you can't have my name. That's
promised to another young lady."
Mark 1 wain's Criticism.
Mark Twain was visiting H. E.
Rogers, who leading the humorist
to his library, said, as he pointed to
a bust of white marble: "What do
you think of that?" It w.*is a bust of
a young woman coiling her hair,
a very graceful example of modern
italian sculpture.
Mr. Clemens looked at it a mo
ment and then he said: "It isn't
true to nature."
'"Why not?" asked Mr. Rogers.
"She ought to have her mouth
full of hairpins," said the humorist.

NEW YORKER INVENTS HOUSE
tn Two Sections, With Wails and Roof
Hung on Hinges-Quite Easy to
Keep Ventilated.
A rather elaborate poultry house
has been designed by a New York
man. It is in two sections, one of
which slides upon the other and ls
small enough to be easily taken apart.
The lower section has screens along
Useful Poultry House.
Its side walls, while the wocden walla
are hinged at the top so that they
can be opened at any angle desired,
chains holding them in position. In
this way ventilation can be obtained
and the interior protected from rain
or too much light. The upper section,
which has a peaked roof, has a door
at one end and a series of roosts ar
ranged around the sides and ends on
the interior. One-half of the roof la
screened, too, and the top on this side
is hinged so that it can be kept open
or closed. The entire roof can also be
slid on or off at will. This arrange
ment makes it easy to clean the house
thoroughly in all parts and keep it
well ventilated, thus eliminating in
sect pests to a great degree.
PERCH SPASE FOR CHICKENS
Small/Hens Generally Require About
Six Inches While Larger Birds
Should Be Allowed Eight.
As a general rule, small hens should
have about six inches of perch space
while the larger hens should be al
lowed eight inches. In the winter
they huddle closer together, but in
the summer there should be plenty_oL
room to allow them to spread out?
Perches should be 12 Inches apart and
not closer than 15 inches to the wall
or celling. Show birds, especially
Hinged Perches and Dropping Board.
Leghorns or similar types should be
kept at a greater distance from walls
aud ceilings. Many good birds are
spoiled by "brooming" their tails
against the walls.
There are several methods of mak
ing movable perches. One of thc most
common is by hinging them to the
wall at the back.
The fowls must be fed at least
twice a day.
Exercise is necessary for both
health and egg production.
A box of crushed oyster shell
should always be within reach.
Split carrots, turnips and cabbage
In half, Instead of chopping fine.
Clear fresh water is necessary for
the hens at all times and all seasons.
The most profitable way to Keep
chickens of any kind is to feed them
well.
To obtain a supply of winter eggs
we must have the chicks out early In
the spring.
Old fowls require less feed than
young ones and it is a mistake to
overfatten them.
The walls and roosts should be kept
free from mites, which suck tile life
blood of the fowls.
Cement floors should be well cov
ered with straw. The bare floor is
too hard and too cold.
After the second annual molt hens
are apt to become eggbound, espe
cially if well fed and fat.
When the clean, fresh eggs are gath,
ered they should be put in a clean,
dry, cool place until marketed.
A plump young turkey, dressing
from eight to fifteen pounds, Ands a
market at almost any season of the
year.
To insure success have the build
ings for the hen ready early, and
choose fowls of the right age and la
good condition. .
As Bread is the Staff of Life
the better thc bread the ?tr on per
the stair. To obtain the best bread
rou must use the best Hour and that
is undoubtedly thc Town Tu'k
brand. Ask any uno who has tried
it or better yet order a sack and try
it for yourself.

In Market For Long
Staple Cotton.
I desire to notify the people of
Edgefield county that I have ar
ranged to give them a good mar
ket for Upland Long Staple cotton.
I solicit a trial shipment to meat
Trenton or a trial in some other
way. Let me urye the farmers to
keep their long staple colton fne
from leaves and trash. Careful
handling pays more in long staple
than in short staple cotton, for the
fibre is injured in freeing it from
trash. Long staple cotton is used
only for goods of a superior quali
ty. Have your long staple cotton
picked by careful hands. It will pay
you. Marketing your long staple
cotton through me will mean mon
ey in your pocket.
