Swindler in the Land. An alleged swindler going under the name of B. B. Bray has been fishing for 6uckers in the Dutch Fork of this county. He claimed to be the agent of the Smith Supply Co., of Chicago. His plan of operation was to sell buggies, requiring a cash payment of from $2 to $40 as a guaranty? that the freight would be paid on them. The money was collected but the buggies never came and Bray has skipped to greener fields and fresher pastures, taking with him about 800 of the hard earned dollars of some of the sturdy m _ ? lL - T71 1_ iarmers 01 me jo ur*.

A Card. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Please allow me through the columns of your valued paper to thank the voters of Lexington county for the very liberal support given me in the recent primary election, and also to thank the people in general for the kind hospitality shown me during the campaign. I have been defeated by a small number of votes, and I accept the verdict of the people without a word of complaint. I entered the race for the House of Representatives as a young man almost wholy unknown on the south side of the Saluda, and when I read the returns showing that I received a majority of the votes cast in my county, I feel that this in itself is an honor of whioh any one might well feel proud. There is no regret on my part for having made the campaign, for. I believe that I have made personal friends in all parts of the county who will continue to be friends as long as life shall last. I shall, in the future, though in an humble way, ever strive to be of service to my people in whatsoever way I can, and it shall ever be my desire to see old Lexington county take her place in the front ranks among the counties of South Carolina.

Scientific Secret** That Have Been Buried With the Men Who Possessed Them and That Were the Causes of Their Traffic Taking Off. The maxim which states that silence is golden has cost the world some of the greatest discoveries of modern times, for not a few of the inventors whose names would have been handed down to posterity as public benefactors have been killed by their secrets before they would consent to divulge them to their fellow beings. In 1S93 all Europe was startled by the discovery of a new explosive called fulminitc, which, it was believed, would revolutionize modern warfare. It was the invention of an Exeter scientist rinmed Sawbridire. and sain pies of the explosive which were tested by the government revealed the fact that its power was three times greater than that of cordite and in consequence it would treble the range of a rifle bullet. The German government offered Sawbridge ?20,000 for his invention, which he patriotically refused until the home authorities had had the first option of purchase. Hut just as the latter were-about to seal a contract with him the news came that his laboratory had been blown up and himself with it. Unfortunately he left no records whatever, and although some of the leading experts of the day minutely examined the debris they failed to discover the secret, which is probably lost forever. About half a century ago an Italian priest named Luigi Taranti discovered a method of making stained glass, the coloring of which was declared equal to that made by the ancients, whose secret has been lost. Taranti abandoned holy orders and set to work to execute the hundreds of commissions he received in the secrecy of his workshop at Ostia, near Rome. The finest stained glass windows in Italy were -Kit ln'm nnrl lifs trilJll*tflPfl llis SO cret well, for when a year later be was found dead of blood poisoning, set up by the pigments be employed, it was realized-tbat he bad carried his secret with liim. The cleverest workmen were called in to examine the ingredients, but they one and all failed to penetrate the dead man's secret. The person who could make composition billiard balls equal to those of Ivory would quickly qualify as a millionaire, and it is not an impossible task, for it has already been done. Some years ago a Scotch manufacturer put composition billiard balls on the market which were as good at but only a third of the price of those already in use. lie refrained from patenting his invention and made all the balls himself, even his family being prohibited from sharing bis secret. But just as he was beginning to taste the fruits of his experiments he was one day mortally wounded by an accident in his workshop and died before he could make any statement.

The only man who has yet been successful in taking photographs in color was a martyr to his discovery, the secret of which is lost. Some years ago Dr. Herbert Franklin of Chicago submitted a number of colored photograplis?of a somewhat crude nature, it is true?to the leading American scientific institutions, and the encouragement he received was such that he built himself a laboratory, proof against the wiles of spies, at a cost of $12,000, wherein to perfect his invention. In the preparation of his plates he used a charcoal fire, and one day when at work he omitted to open the ventilators and was found asphyxiated. He had refrained from divulg mg nis secret to uuy uuv, uuu ju v.viisequence, although some partially finished plates that hid the secret remained, the way they were prepared is a problem that has baffled scientists to this day. Another victim to his secret was Adams, the inventor of tallium, the greatest discovery in the metals of the age. Adams was confident that a metal could be produced which, although as hard as steel, was only half its weight and price, and after five years' experimenting with an electrical process tallium was the result. The invention was taken up throughout America, and orders for thousands of tons of the metal began to pour in from the leading railway companies. But it was too late. The enormous mental strain he had undergone, coupled with the sensation of finding millions within his grasp, took away his reason, and he was confined in an asylum. He left no records to explain the process, and no amount of persuasion drew the secret from him, which perished locked up in his brain when two years later he died a helpless lunatic.?London Tit-Bits.
