STATE PENITENTIARY PRAISED. Convicts Fare Better Than the Pa tients at Statt) Hospital. Columbia, Feb. 7.-That the crimi nals of South Carolina aro better oared for than the insane wards was the opinion expressed to-day by A. P. Herring, M. D., sooretary of the Maryland Lunacy Commission, after insi>ecting all departments of the State penitentiary. Dr. Herring, a national authority on penal institu tions, was highly pleased with the administration of the affairs of the prison. He was highly gratified with the excellent, tuberculosis hos- J pital at the prison, and stated that 'the South Carolina institution ls far ! ahead of many other State prisons in this respect. "You don't often see auch a inagnillcent hospital," said Dr. Herring. The buildings at the prison were commended. He said that the ven tilation and sanitary conditions were excellent. His only criticism was that all of the prisoners should be given work. He thought that some kind of a shop might 1>e opened to every able bodied prisoner employed. "The prisoners here are really bet ter off I nan th ; patients in the asy lum. This is due largely to the effi cient work of Superintendent Griffith. He is a man that substitutes kind ness for cruelty and there seems to be a spirit of reform rather than of punishment at the institution," lie added. Dr. Herring said thal the "death house" was modern in every way ann thal the HUM hod of execution w as far helter than many other prisons of I he country.

The It?-lg?MU "Rattlesnake" is the In vention of An American. That gun-the "Belgian rattle snake, " as it caine to be called on the firing line, because of its deadly rattle in action-is an American gun, says Lesllo's Weekly. lt is the in vention of a retired United States army officer. lt is the most fero cious small deatii machine ever known, and yet one man can carry and operate it. Two years ago Col. Isaac Newton Lewis, U. S. N., retired, late of the United States Coast Artillery, offered his invention on an automatic air cooled machine gun to the United States government, and it was tried out hy United States aerial war craft in an official test at College Park, Md. Hear Admiral Frank F. Fletcher, U. S. N., then chief of naval ordnance, made the observation that 2,000 of these air craft could be purchased and equipped with the new machine gun for the price of a single battle ship. Ami this was the verdict of Brig, (len. .las. Allen, chief of the signal corps: "The effect on military war fare will be surprising." Precisely this is what the present European war lias disclosed, witli Hie Lewis machine gun being used hy the Belgians first, and now, from the latest reports from the front, by both ? British and Russian troops, against i tlie Kaiser's men. Nevertheless, this gun was rejected by our government. Col. Lewis was told ?bat ho might lispose of his military "mowing ma chine" elsewhere, and the very first ! place he went to was Germany. After ?several trials of his gun in the field and in airships hy the Cern?an army collis, Col. Lewis was asked to sell the sole right to the use and manu facture of his machine gun to Ger many. Thia he refused to do, and he next tried England. The British government consented to his selling the guns to her allies, but at the I time would not guarantee to take ali that Col. Lewis could manufacture. Col. Lewis then went over to Bel gium, and there he sold his guns without any restrictions, and, luckily for the Belgians, up to the time the war broke out he had been able to make only enough of the guns for their use. The result was that they were the only soldiers in the world possessing this most certain modern instrument of death when the Ger mans stormed Liege. To this gun is due in a considerable degree, the terrible slaughter of the Germans In the Invasion of Belgium. This gun is a new departure in ord nance. lt is the only machine gun capable of rapid continuous fire un der service conditions without change of barrels, and without the use of water cooling. It ls simple In construction and operation and on the firing line requires no tools or special equipment of any kind. The gun can he assembled or dismounted in 30 seconds with no other tool than the point of a bullet, and it can he bred singly or in bursts of any num ber of shots up to the full extent of the magazine, which can he placed in position in t VD seconds, and which can be adapted for an existing ser vice ammunit'on. The normal rate of lU ing is ?O * rounds lier minute, but this may ba increased or de creased by a simple ad just ment. How's This ?

Deese, of Dale county, Alabama, last year got first prize of S2;>0 for largest yield of cotton 1,936 pounds of lint on one acre. J. 10. Culpepper, of Carroll county, Georgia, second prize ($100), for 1,539 pounds of lint on one acre. The prizes were ottered hy American Cynamid Company, whose fertilizer amtnoniatc i.s made from atmospheric nitrogen by electricity at Niagara Falls. Here is Mr. Deese's method of cultivation and fertilization: "1 broke the land about 12 inches deep with a two-horse plow on Febru ary 1, rebreaking it about 30 days later In order to thoroughly pulver ize the soil. About April 10 I laid off in ?M?-foot rows with S-inch shovel. In this furrow I put 10 per cent acid phosphate at the rate of 000 pounds to the acre. I listed on tills with a two-horse turner, run ning very shallow, making a wide, fiat lied. 1 let lie about 10 days, then I ran S-inch shovel in center of bed. At this time 1 put on GOO pounds of 10-2-2 cynamid mixed idood guano. In same furrow 1 ran seed planter, covering seed with springs on planter instead of board. 1 got a good stand of cotton. As soon as colton had been up about 10 days I sided ii with a 20-inch scrape. Fol lowing Hus 1 ?hopped it out to about I feet in drill. After this I plowed it every week, using scrape and small shovel, ?ill after July, being careful to keep it perfectly clean of grass, weeds, cte. During the latter, part of .lune 1 applied 200 pounds nitrate of soda, dropping same along side of cotton. I usod seed thai ran high In lint, same having run IS per cent on this yield. Cotton lapped in Rife-fool rows till one could scarcely get through it, and would average about 7 foot tall. The cotton held up perfectly green until frost. "TI/" KA HES TIRED, SORE, SWOLLEN FEET1.

Nicholson, of the White water section, who has just been ap pointed as one of Oconee's County Com missioners, along with R. A. Reeves, of Seneca township, was in Walhalla for a short while last Fri day. He paid The Courier a pleas ant visit, and requests that we ex tend to all his friends who gave him endorsement his sincere thanks for their efforts in his behalf, and to the members of the General Asesmbly. Mr. Nicholson says, however, that it will lie his endeavor to show his ap preciation by conscientious service to the public lu his new office.

For salo by Nor man Company, Walhalla.-Adv. Foolish Advice About Farming. (Southern Farming.) Congressman Hellin, of Alabama, recently made the statement that ho expected to see cotton sell at 2 0 cents this coming winter. Of all the ridic ulously absurd statements that ever came from the mouth of a supposedly intelligent man. this is the climax. How any man with a thimbleful of sense can make such a statement is more than we can understand. It is an absolute and positive fact that there are several million bales of sur plus cotton in the United States at present, and this year's crop added to that, even though the coming crop may be small, makes it absurd to talk about such a price. That statement, coming from a Congressman, attracts more attention th ap if it came from a private citizen, .and If any attention is paid to it, harm may result. We warn our readers to put absolutely no stock in such fool statements. The man who plants cotton this spring with the expectation of getting 20 cents a pound for it next winter, would better go on to South Africa and shoot elephants with a popgun. He will come just as near killing the elephant as he will getting 20 cents a pound for his colton next winter. Prisoners to Work Mines. Berlin, Germany, Feb. 11. Coal mine owners have reached an agree ment with military authorities for employment of prisoners of war in the mines, according to announce ment here. This stop is taken to re lieve the scarcity of labor, acute dur ing the past few mon ?bs. Mino owners have been Irving in vain to keep coal production equal to market requirements, which have in creased as a result of military de mands. The military authorities purpose to select laborers from among French, Belgian and Russian prisoners who previously have worked in mines.
