Mr. and Mrs. Smith were well known in Piokens and Ooonee counties. Mrs. Smith has one sister, Mrs. C. A. Morgan, in this oounty : On Tuesday evening, Maroh 6, ,1906, at their home in Reedley, Cal., Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Smith celebrated their golden wedding. Wlulo the gathering was not a large one, viewed from the stand point of real enjoyment, it lacked nothing to make it a grand success. Had the guests been looking for . empty formality, they would have ' found it necessary to seek elsewhere, but for genuine hearty welcome it is doubtful if the host and hostess can be surpassed in extending the same to guests. B. F. Smith was born in Piokens oounty, South Carolina, Maroh 26, 1835, and his wife, Rebecca F., whose maiden name was Kennemur, was born in the.same oounty July 28, 1889. They were married Maroh 6, 1856, and lived in the same oounty in which they were born until 1870, wuen they moved with their five children to Crawford county, Mis souri, residing there until 1900, when they moved to California, making their homo at Reedley ever since. Owing to some misfortune in con nection with their journey from thc East, two sons, Dr. W. E., of Cata wissa, Mo., and Dr. J. D., of Dayton, Ohio, were unable to reaoh Reedley in timo for the occasion ; otherwise the family circle, consisting of nine members, was complete. Mr. and Mrs. Smith were blessed with Heven children, six sons and ono daughter, all of whom are living -Landrum, Barnett A., Belle, Joel H., William E., John D. and Elphin H. Some of these have won honor able diBtinotion among professional men and all enjoy a fair measure of success in their various callings. The aged couple take to them selves pardonable pride from the fact that their children have added mea surably to the social and religious in terjiis of the world and that no cloud has ever oaBt its shadow over the lifo of one of them. Two sons, now of Southern Cali fornia, resided in Fresno county as early as 1886, Landrum being the prinoipal of the Kingsbnrg school at that time. Mrs Smith donned tho same neokwear she had worn on the memorable occasion 50 years before. Credit is due Mrs. Joel H. Smith, of Selma, a daughter-in-law, for pro vid^g special music for the occasion. Wk ?0 well chosen remarks were made by Rev. W. H. Sowell, who was followed by Rev. G. W. Donnel and others. Tho reminiscent account given by Mr. Smith of their oarly married life and during tho war of the Rebellion, as well ns subsequent events, were very interesting and gave the listen ers a retrospective view of the lives of a noble mun and his faithful wife, who, side by side, have remained at their post of duty all these years, despite the trials and difficulties met with along tho way. The future hopes of Mr. Smith, expressed in no uncertain terms, were the source of great inspiration and a lasting bene diction to all present. After the abovo remarks the guests repaired to the dining room, , where they enjoyed a delioious re past. Mr. and Mrs. Smith were tho re .c^tt?ts of many valuable presents, The'guests prosent were Landrum Smith, of Whittier, Cal.; B. A. Smith, of East Pasadena, Cal. ; Mr. and Mrs. Joel. H. Smith, of Selma, Cal., and the following from Reedley : Mr. and Mrs. E. K. Smith and two children, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Mof fatt and two ohildren, Rev. and Mn. W. H. Bowell, Rev. and Mrs. G. W. Donnel, ROT. and Mrs. J. G. I lick?, Mr. and Mrs. S. D. England, Mr. and Mr?. F. S. Knauer and ?on, Mr. and Mrs. Carson Reid and eon, Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Sims and three ohil. dren, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Duff and son, J. N. Jameson and J. C. Mccub bin and two ohildren. From the many congratulations expressed by the guests it was evi dent that the general wish was that this venerable couple might live to enjoy many happy returns of their wedding anniversary and that at "the parting of the ways" the sar? vivor might be surrounded by near relatives and kind friends, until the rider of the pale horse should sound the last call. And finally, when the other members of this now unbroken family are done with the caron of this life, may they all be permitted to meet again where no ties will ever be severed and where they oan en joy a grand reunion throughout the oeaseless ages of eternity.

Mr. Harmon is a talented young man, and in his un tiring efforts will doubtless accomplish muoh good in his oalling. Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Ballonger and daughter, Miss Pearle, went to Greenville last week to the General Assembly and also to be present at the dosing exer cises of Chicora College. Miss Eunioe Ballenger graduated with honors, having received the full degree, and also won the medal for the best essay written by tho graduating class, whioh numbered twenty-four.

WONDERS OF JEW YORK CITY. IT8 TEEMING MILLIONS At THEY MOVE TO AND FRO TO 00 BUSINESS. As I write (on cara) I have just left Brooklyn Bridge, where there was a detention of nine minutes seems long here ; as I stood on the platform in the busy whirl I watohed the vast throng pushing and pressing its way to the varions trains leaving every minute-each of the thousands of passengere sager for the first de parting train-as if a delay of one minute until the next meant destruc tion to them. As many people cross. Brooklyn Bridge in one day as some railroads haul in a year ; the total fares collected exceed the population of tho United States. The bridge is one and one-fourth miles, the inner three-fourths of a mile being suspen sion, supported by two enormous peera, one on each aide of the East Uiver. Visitors invariably go to Brooklyn Bridge and oross it ; other wise they would miss one of the grandest sights of the oity, one some times termed the eighth wonder of the world. One other similar bridge the Williamsburg-crosses the river about 1,500 yards above the old one ; a third is being built between these two, and a dozen or more planned. Bridge building continues notwith standing the tunnelling, for it is safely reokoned that all these-the tunnels and many more bridges, to say nothing of the ferries-will all be required as fast as they oan be pro vided to accommodate the travel be tween Manhattan Island (New York proper) and Long Island (Brooklyn). The population of New York is near 6,000,000. It is estimated it will be 80,000,000 in thirty years if the in crease, far greater now than ever, continues. The boats are all required by law to have two pilots, to insure safety in the event, which sometimes happens, of one becoming suddenly incapaci tated. With 500 to 5,000 lives at stake, this is a wise precaution. The public, realizing that thc same dan ger existed on the elevated electric trains, actively agitated the requiring of double mortomen. The brain of the wide-eyed Yankee began to work at once-result, only one motorman yet, but if he drops dead or even less-hundreds of lives are not dashed to death ; the inventive ge nius supplied a devioe-motor han dle-so that the train will only run when the hand holds it, and the mo ment released the train comes to a standstill. These are in general use now. The Subway has improved even on this. In addition they have in use a device that prevents rear end collisions-these arc the only possible ones, as double traoks are used, and only trains going one way run on traok. Should an aooident happen, or sudden, unexpected stop be made, the traok device will bring automatically to a stop any train ap proaching within 150 feet. No two trains oan therefore stand on the sam? 150 feet of track. This device is in uso on the two express tracks, and this was the ground of the great strike-operatives demanded its uso on the two looal traoks. (There are four traoks in the Subway.) The company claimed the right to install at their pleasure, and by bringing "Riot Breakers" forces won. And to-day while express trains thunder ing along on double traoks, under a three-minute headway,' are safe from collisions-locals are not protected in the same nor any other absolutely safe way. New York has 1,018 miles of sur face, elevated and subway railroads, yet it is diffioult to get a seat, al though trains aro run almost as solid as tho links in a chain. On the main h. es they are about 500 feet behind S other. \ < - correspondent has made mt ti >f the .'Klondike" ruth the past ii. ' days to buy lots on Long Island, ijvng Island is virtually New York-it is just across the river from Manhattan Island-Brook lyn being the first city touohed. The island is from four to forty miles wide and ninety-seven in length. It is an old saying that "Brooklyn is where New York sleeps"-so many in business in New York living aoroes the river in Brooklyn. The city of Brooklyn before consolidating with and as a part of New York oity had 1,000,000 population-to-day nearly 2,000,000, and is crowded almost as much as New York. The plan heretofore has been to build higher and hierher the Htruoture, so the peo ple could live above each other. Thia kept np until a thirty-two story building appeared. The Sogar Building under way ls to be forty stories, and now cornea one to oover an entire block and one hundred stories high, with a swimming pool on the roof. People prefer living nearer the earth, but the outskirts have been so diffioult to roach-some spending three hours a day going and coming. Tunnelling the rivers is settling the problem, and one oan reside fifteen miles out and go and come in one and one-half honrs or less. This in sight has o&njed thc ruah io Long Island. Ten thousand people were oarried by the railroads one day-home-seekers and lot inves tors-$1,000,000 worth of realty changed hands that day. It really looks as if Long Island for fifty miles is to be populated, and that in the twinkling of an eye. Further ont the land is being out up in 1 to 25 aore farms for truoking. These are sold, payable $5 to $25 monthly. And with the millions at hand to market eatables, the truok and ohioken farms will prove exceedingly profitable, to say nothing of the daily increase in the value of the property, for it will be gradually grabbed for residential purposes. The trouble of truoking and chicken raising generally is want of market at hand. This is all provided by the millions of mouths here. One man made $488.94 on one half acre. For the information of any interested, here is how he says he did it : "I have practiced gardening suc cessfully for ten years. Last season I had half an aore from whioh I oleared $488.94, as shown below. My method is to get the ground in good condition, then spread fertilizer, harrow and rake until the surface is smooth, and plant in drills 12 inches apart. Cultivation is done princi pally with a hand cultivator ; very little with the hoe. Everything is sold at wholesale at a manufacturing town nearby. The amount and the varieties grown are as follows : "Yellow set onions, 1,218 dozen bunches, $203.67 ; Dreer's Scarlet turnip, Crimson Giant and First and Best radishes, 475 dozen bunches, $77.94 ; Dreer's Black Seeded Simp son lettuce, 402 dozen bunches, $79.88 ; Johnson and Stokes West ern oabbage, 050 heads, $30.38 ; rhu barb, 430 pounds, $4.15 ; Dreer's Savoy spinach, 75 bushels, $32.50 ; Dreer's Crosby Egyptian beets, 35 dozen bunches, $15.25 ; Dreer's Im proved bush lima beans, nine bushels, $10.80 ; Atlantio Prize tomato, 43 bushels, $32.32 ; Large Bell pepper, 87 bushels, $46 ; Dreer's Golden Self-Blanching oelery, 800 plants, $24 ; total receipts, $562.89. The expenses were as follows : Fertilizer, $16.25 ; nitrate of | soda, $2.80 ; seeds, $10.50 ; plants, $21, and labor, $18, making a total of $73.95. This leaves a net profit of $488.94."-H. W.

Kirkland, superin tendent of the Massachusetts gypsy moth experimentation service, "ls largely due to lue increasing abun dance of automobiles. The moths drop upon them from the trees, par ticularly when the automobile stops for any length of time. Thus tho in sect ls carried many miles from its original haunt, and wherever lt ls de posited it begins to breed and do dam age." Photographic Trap For Chanfleara. A photographic pollco trap for the apprehension of scorching automobil es hos been invented in England. By the pressing of a button a photograph ls made of any passing car, with the time and date. A pair of theso instru ments with synchronized timing ar rangements used at each end of a measured ploco of ground would, lt Ia believed, give absolutely accurate data as to the speed of automobiles.

Continued experiments made abroad with feeding dried potatoes to stock, especially with pigs and steers, show that tho potatoes wero not found to be ns satisfactory for pigs as ground barley and corn, especially from tho standpoint of economy. With steers fed dried potatoes fairly good results were obtained. This feeding stuff was better digested by the steers than by pigs, while tho finely ground product is regarded ns preferable to ono which is coarsely ground. Horse Notes. Teach a colt to stop at word of com mand. Halter break tho colt when two or throe weeks old. Even with tho best of breeding all colts aro not good. A horso will rarely drink too much If wn'^rod frcquoutly. Draft horses should bo selected for their quality rattier than their size. Regular feeding for the horse ls more necessary than for any other stock. Standing tn tho barn for any connia erable length of timo la worso than work or driving. To bo a successful breeder and raiser of horses tho man must be able te know a horso. Tho cleansing, antiseptic and healing j propertios of rinosalve make it superior to family salves. Sold by Dr. J.

[Published by Request.] * The Orient correspondent has just made public the text of a letter writ ten by Publius Lentulus, an officer of Pontius Pilate's court, to the Roman emperor, which, as announced, exclu sively discovered in the library of the Lazarist Father in Homo. If this letter proves authentio it may be considered the most impor tant iwstorioal dooument ever dis covered regarding the personality of Jesus. It purports to have been writ ten just as Christ was beginning his preaohing through Judea. It reads : "I have learned, O Crcsar, that you desired some information regarding this virtious man called Jesus, the Christ, whom tbe people consider a prophet and his disciples regard as the Son of God, Creator of Heaven and earth. . "It is a faot that every day one hears wonderful things told of Him. To be brief, He makes the dead rise and heals the siok. "He isa man of medium size, whose appearance indioates both great sweetness and suoh an amount of dig nity, that one feels, in looking at Him, that he must love Him, and at the same time fear Him. "His hair, down to His ears, is of the color of ripe walnuts and hanr?a down on his shoulders as a light blond and clear mass ; it is parted in the middle, according to the fashion of the Nazarenes. His beard, of the panie color as His hair, is curly, and although not very long, is parted in the middle like His hair. "His eyes are rather severe and shine like the sun ; it is impossible for any one to look Him long in the face. .'When he scolds He inspires fear, but very soon He Himself bogins to shed tears. Even in His most severe moods He is affablo and benevolent. It is said that no one has ever seen Him laugh, and that He sheads tears very often. "Everyone finds that His conver sation is agreeable and attractive. He is not seen very often in public, and when He appears He carries Him self modestly. "His manners are very distin guished ; He is even beautiful, lt is perhaps beoauso His mother is the best looking woman ever seen in these parts. "If you wish to see Him, O Cresar, as you wrote me once, let me know and I shall send Him to you. "Although Ho has never pursued any studies, He is well up in every branoh of knowledge. "He goes around barefooted and without head cover. "Many peoplo make fun of Him when they soe Him coming, hut as soon as they are in His presence they tremhlo and admire Him. "The Hebrews say that they have never seen a man like Him, nor heard teachings like those He imparts. "Many believe that He is a God, and others assert that He is thine ? enemy, O Cresar I mnoh trouble. They say He has never given trouble to anybody, bnt that, on the contrary, He tries to make every one happy."-Berlin Dis patch. Ml
