A striking d?monstration of the ef fectiveness of the pulmotor in reviv ing persons who have been overcome and rendered unconscious hy gas poisoning, was presented late yester day afternoon at the shops of the Southern railway, at Meeting and Co lumbus streets, when Louis Puck ha ller, a 1 it-year-old mechanic, was rescued from death. He had been working on a pipe, one end of which was resting in a kiln that generates oil vapor. The poisonous fumes pass ed through the p i po and were inhal ed by Mr. Puckhaber at the other end. Gradually he was overcome by the poison and finally sank into un consciousness and apparently into death. A physician was called immediate ly upon discovery of the plight of the young man, and the physician at once requested the Consolidated Company to send its pulmotor to the scene of the accident. Jennings Fos ter, foreman of the gas department of the Consolidated Company, re sponded with the machine. When they had reached Mr. Puckhaber he was totally unconscious, and if he was breathing it could not he de I neted. The apparatus was applied imme diately, and within a minute and a half Mr. Puckhaber was breathing. This action having been started, oxy gen was supplied from thc pulmotor. and within a short time the man's lungs were performing 'heir normal functions. To-day the young man !s back at his work, little the worse for his experience, lt. ls said. The Consolidated Company pur chased the pulmotor primarily for use in cases <>f gas poisoning, though the apparatus can be used upon per sons who have come near drowning. The machine ls kept ready for in stant use, and at the service- of the public. Louis Puckhaber is well known and pleasantly remembered in Wal halla, where he has numerous friends who rejoice al his good fortune in being revived after his harrowing ex perience. Mr. Puckhaber is n grand son of Mr. and Mrs. II. L. Brandt. Advertised Mail.

HARRY R. HIGHS. STRANGEST FAMILIES IN WORLD Record for Longevity Has Not Reen Realen Since Parr Died at 124. (New York Press.) There is at thc present time living at Bilboa, Spain, a family Of seven who between them possess no fewer than Hil lingers. One of them has 23 tumers, another 21, while the re maining live each can boast of a cou ple of hands with 12 lingers apiece. The last surviving member of w hat was perhaps the record family with regard to weigh! was Charles Atkins, who died a few years ago at Harrow. He weighed -ITU pounds, his brothers, who predeceased him, being no less than 501 and 560 pounds. Another heavy family was the Dudlichls, one Of whom, Robert, a brewer s dray man, weighed at lils death 448 pounds, 2S pounds heavier than his twin lirolher, whose 120 pounds was equalled if not topped, by their two sisters. For loftiness of stature the family of Hassan All. who some while since was on exhibition in this country, would be hard to beat. His grand father, the tallest of the family, stood 3 feet 1 1 inches, seven inches more than his father, whose height was 8 feet 1 Inches; Hassan Ali himself being content with a modest 8 feet 2 Inches. The family record for longevity has not been beaten since Robert Parr, the great-grandson of the celebrated Thomas Parr, died in 17.">7 at the age of 124. I Iis father lived to celebrate his 100th birthday anniversay; his great-grandfather was 152 at the time of his death. If a long-lived family of Wlsbech, named Stockdale, cannot in the mere number of years compete with the Parrs, i< assuredly '"i|ds the record for golden weddings. o.MvfUch five have been celebrated ' no family within comparatively 1 . o2 children, f>0 of whom reached their majority. Fortunately, four men of the neighborhood each adopted 10 children, the remainder being brought up by their parents. Large as this family was, its fame pale? before that of a Russian, Ivan Wassllf, who was the father of SV. He was married twice. By his first wife he had 09 children in tho fol h.'vlng order: Four times quadruples at a birth, seven times triplets and sixteen times twins. By his second spouse he twice had t ri plot s and six times twins. Undoubtedly the record for mis fortune belongs to a Belgian family named Adnet. The father. Jean Ad net, was drowned; his wife commit ted suicide by throwing herself from (he roof of her house, while of his two sisters, who lived respectively at Ghent and Paris, one was killed by the kick of a horse and the other by a blow received from a falling scaf fold. Jean Adnet had six children, four sons and two daughters. Of these the latter perished through the over turning of a pleasure boat. One of the sons was stabbed in a drunken brawl, another was crushed to death by a heavy wagon, while the remain ing two, who had emigrated to Amer ica, were slain in 1S0 1 while flghtlnir for Balmaceda against the Congress ists. Rut of peculair records the strang est was that held by a family nick named the "Odd Family," that lived at Ipswich at the commencement of the 18th century. The names of the lather, mother and seven sons each contained an odd number of letters. The youngest son. Ezekiel, enlist ed as a grenadier in 1703, and was wounded 23 times. Five other sons ?Roger, James. Matthew, Jonas and David-died In different places, and by an extraordinary coincidence. v> re burled on thc same day in the year 1713. Ten years later another -mi, Solomon was with Ezekiel. h'ovied In crossing the Thames. For Sale! Choice White Tennessee Mill ing Corn, $1 per Bushel. Loose Hay, 50c. per Hundred. T. N. CARTER, Westminster, S. C. Your crop will bo largely made or marred lu the months ol' May and .lune, ll' you get lt started off grow ing nicely in these months, given good preparation, you stand a very nundi better chance of making a good crop, and your crop will stand ad verse conditions belter in July and August. If a pig gets sti ii ed in its early youth it. is almost impossible to make a good, rousing hog out of it later. If your cotton ls stunted, or if it gets sore shin or any of the other ail ments to which cotton ls liable, it has to recover from this ne fore lt can take on its natural growth, and j it never does as well as lt would if it had not suffered those troubles. Side-dressing, by supplying plant food, makes this plant vigorous and healthy and strong, and lt grows off from the start. If you break your arm and set it, and get it properly se! and properly knitted together, lt is never as strong as Indore it was broken. "A bird with a broken wing never soars so high again." And so it is with your cotton. Early ? attention and early fertilization is more than half of the battle. There is no question of side-dressing pay ing. You notice what top dressing did for grain this spring; as soon as the top dressing wa? administered the grain came out of the kinks, and if you administer side-dressing to your cotton it will come out of tin? kinks. The preparation for a crop has been unusually fine this spring, and where the preparation is fine the farming is good, and side-dressing is bound to pay. Some farmers have found side- j dressing unprofitable; that is be cause it was applied loo late. lt should be applied early -as soon as j you bring your cotton to a stand because you tie not caro to side-dross cotton thal you are going to cut out; nnd as soon as you get the grass out of your cotton, because you do not care to side-dress grass. Crass takes care of itself in a crop if let alone. As soon as this is done, then the i sldo-dre.-u.;'?K nuould ?. applied, and you aro not going lo apply too much , of i: l.'p no a few years ago France 'used more fertilizer tit ali the whole Iii ?ted States of America, and '.hoy did riot use, lt a" ':t on e either, Th? French farmers make very fine crops. In a few year? people will wonder why we use so little fertilizer now in making crops. Joel Keys told the writer of a Mr. Rogers, down in Florence county, who side-dressed his cotton every time he cultivated lt, and when be wound up cultivating his croj) he had used about 1,800 pounds of fertilizer to the acre; and when he wound up gathering his I crop, be had gathered 880 pounds of lint cotton to the acre; not seed cot ton- dint cotton, two bales weighing ; 440 pounds each, to the acre. Now, > if this is not profitable, the most of us had better quit farming. Side-dressing your cotton prevents disease to which cotton is liable be cause it is stronger and better able to withstand these troubles. It is stronger because it is better fed. A well-fed pig or a well-fed child can i resist disease better than a little, stunted child or pig. Then, when a man's cotton crop grows off well--when it is green and greasy and growing-it makes him feel better; it encourages him to work lt better, and he will have a better crop. Then, too, a man feels his oats a little more with a good crop than he does otherwise. It gives ] him better credit and it gives him better standing in his community having a good crop of green, greasy and growing cotton, than having a little yellow, rusty, stunted bumble bee cotton. The time ls past when a man can maintain his respectability and grow bumble-bee cotton. Some people, complain thal they cannot get their hands to side-dress crops, but this Mr. Rogers had no trouble of that sort. He is like the centurion spoken of in the Hood Hook-when he tells a man to do a thing he does it. If you apply all your fertilizer when you plant your cotton the j spring rains got a pari of it, the grass gets a part, and the cotton that you cut out iii reducing your crop to a i stand has taken a part, so your re-! malning crop gets probably not more than half of what you put down. Now, suppose you use 100 pounds to the acre of 10-2-2 goods. You j will have 12s oumes of ammonia, j Half or this has been taken up by the rains, the grass and cotton you j have taken out, so you would have about ws, your ferti lizer is absorbed at.d used up, and along in .Inly and August your cotton is putting on its fruit, and when this is going on the strain on the cotton plant is greatest. Now, just nt the time when the strain is greatest, tho supply of plant food, which ls al ready reduced, is weakening, so just as the strain is increasing by the ad ditional fruit that the stalk takes on, just at tho time when your plant is hungering and thirsting for plant food, for sustenance, or, you might say, for "vittles," as the hart panteth after the water brook, the supply is reduced and ls decreasing and your crop sheds. What elsa can it do? Winni your farm work is heaviest on the mules, you Increase the food and then they do not hohl their own; suppose you did not increase' their food winni you increased their work; wouldn't you expect them to shed, too? In every contest for corn or cotton that bas been entered into for years past, the one who got the prize side dressed his crop, and more than once. There is no accident about Ibis; lt ls a consequence. A man does not. stand a "nost of a chance of getting the prize in a crop contest who dons not side-dress. In lilli this county made the big gest cotton crop lt bas ever grown, and there was more sldo-drossing used than ever. That was no acci dent, either; lt was another conse quence. You do not expect to give your mule enough corn and oats Mon I day morning to last it until Satur day, and you have no notion of giv ing it enough corn and water lu April j to last it until October, but that is t vchiit ,\(it' do v-hen vo.i \( rtllize >our cotton iii A.pr 1,1 and expect li to feed a. Crop i. i'd il matures In October (n a olia h'a tanning, bia cotton cop I is his money crop- his way of mak ing i profit, and he only makes one cotton crop a year. That being tho case.lt will pay him to nui se his crop, feed it, look after it. It has been es timated that for every dollar a man spends in fertilizer he gets back $3.fit), leaving him a clean, clear profit of $2.f>0 on every dollar he spends for fertilizer. The profit ls greater on side-dressing, because in side-dressing the crop gets every ounce of fertilizer, where lt gets not over half of that which ls applied when the crop ls planted. Few people realizo tho value of side-dressing and the profit in it. If they did, we feel sure they would find farming very much more profit able. To change the reading of tho text of the Good Hook a little, wo will say when you know tho truth, the truth shall make you free. Now, we aro making a fertilizer especially adapted to si de-dressing. It lakes a different fertilizer for side dressing than lt does for that which is applied at the time the crop ls planted; it requires quicker action, for whatever ls done to Improve the crop in May or June must be done quickly. The business of this crop requireth haste, so we have com pounded a fertilizer especially adapt ed to side-dressing. We manufac ture an 8-4-4 which is excellent ; we tilso have 4-7-2 which ls better, be cause lt acts a little quicker; then we rm ve 4-10-2 which is bettor still; then we have a 9-6 which ls a pre scription. It is a combination medi cine and tonic, makes a crop grow and wards off disease to which cot ton ls liable. Il will cost you some thing, but it will bring you more than lt costs. You get hack moro than three times what you pay out In any of these fertilizers that you get for side-dressing. We have had a number of farmers tell Us that 1,300 pounds of seed cot ton that has been side-dressed will turn out as heavy a bale of cotton as 1,500 pounds of seed coton that has not berni side-dressed, and besides it makes a better sample, and a better sample brings a better price. Now, lest we forget, the fertilizer made hv tho ANDERSON PHOS PHATE AND OIL COMPANY boys ! is the best put In sacks, or barrels, or tubs or pots, lt is the best fertilizer for side-dressing or for any other I purpose that yon have ever adminis tered to your crop. We have it ready made and ready to be shipped. lt is hagged and tagged. RSON I Oil Company, 1). 8. VANDIVEH, Manager. cal Agents WATiHAMiA, S. C. .MADISON, S. C. - - - WESTMINSTER, S. C.
