The road was bad and the day was hot, and when he had gone a few miles he sat down on a fence to rest. "Want a ride?" asked a Jeamster who came by. "Yes, thank you," Hamilton replied. ."I think I will take a lift." Hamilton was thinking of a plan to get a bridge for the Paw Paw river ind said nothing. Finally the teamster asked: "Professional man?" "Yes," Hamilton replied. The teamster seemed disappointed. He wanted further information. A few minutes later he said: "You ain't a lawyer, or you'd be talking: you ain't a doctor, or you'd have a satchel; you ain't a preacher, because you cussed when you barked your shin getting into the wagon. Say, mister, what is your profession, anyhow?" "I am a politician," said Hamilton. "Huh!" snorted the teamster. "Politics ain't no profession. Politics is a disorder."?Philadelphia Post.

Lantern, December 1: Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Johnson of Bethel. York county, spent Sunday night with Mr. W. R. Brown Rev. J. S. MofTatt returned from Due West yesterday evening. Mrs. Moffatt and children will return the last of this week Now that Grover Cleveland has written to the editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, who was urging him for the presidency, that he positively will not be a candidate, what excuse will the tomtits that have'been pecking at him have now for keeping up their impotent and unnoticed attacks? The best opinion we have heard in regard to the Confederate rally was contained in the brief answer of J. L. Glenn, Esq., when asked how the rally compared with the state reunion that was held here. The reply was, "Less attempted, more accomplished." Stephen Sanders, colored, died last Friday, on Capt. T. M. Sanders' place on Broad river, aged 103 years and 6 months, having been born In May, 1800. We believe he had been In the Sanders family all his life. He always gave the date of his birth as above, and said that he was forty-two when he was sold at the settlement of one of his owners' estate. Dr. A. F. Anderson remembers that that sale was in the year 1842. It seems that all (lis statements correspond with records and known facts. He did not claim to have seen George Washington or performed any service for him, as the first president died about five months before he was born, but he had heard his mother talking much about Washington. He said he had seen British officers passing through the country when he was a boy, which we suppose was about the time of the war of 1812.

Craig, who lives with her son, Mr. Sam Craig, In the South Point section, were shocked Friday morning to find her dead In bed, she having passed away during the night. Mrs. Craig visited some of her neighbors Thursday and retired at night in apparently good health and without making any complaint. She was subject to heart trouble and her death was evidently due to this cause. Mrs. Craig was about seventy-one years of age and was born and reared in the South Point section. Before marriage she was Miss Mary Thompson, a daughter of Mr. Ephraim Thompson. She was twice married, first to Mr. John Martin and the second time to Mr. Sam W. Craig, who preceeded her to the grave. As a result of her first marriage two children survive, Mr. "William Martin, a promi nent business man of Brooklyn, N. Y., and Mrs. J. G. McLean, who resides in South Point. As a result of her second marriage four children survive: Messrs. Sam and John Craig, Mrs, Hope Wilson of Union, and Mrs. W. T. McLean of Collettsville. The deceased was an aunt of Mr. -John H. Craig of Gastonla. One brother, Mr. John Thompson, resides in York county. The funeral and burial took place at New Hope Presbyterian church at noon Saturday, the services being conducted by the pastor. Mrs. Craig was a loyal and consistent member of this church for many years. She had a large number of friends to whom the news of her death will bring sorrow At the home of his son, Mr. Cants Pasour, at Pleasant Ridge in the early hours of Sunday morning, Mr. Jacob Pasour, an aged and esteemed resident of that place, passed away at the advanced age of eighty-four years. Mr. Pasour had been In failing health for. nearly two years and his death is due to general debility and old age. The body was taken to Dallas Sunday and at noon yesterday was laid to rest in the cemetery of the Long Creek Baptist church near there. The deceased is survived by one son, Mr. Cants Pasour. with whom he lived, and one daughter, Mrs. Sam Allen, also of Pleasant Ridge The friends of Mrs. Henry M. Lineberger will hear with genuine regret of her serious illness. Very little hope is entertained for her recovery Mr. Miles P. Hoffman, accompanied by Mr. W. E. Holton and Mr. E. M. Dackmer, arrived Saturday night from Philadelphia, Pa., to spend a few days with his parents, Dr. and Mrs. W. H. Hoffman. They went to Clover yesterday on a hunting trip and will return again today. They will return to Philadelphia the latter part of the week....Rev. F. C. Hickson of Gaffney, was guest on Thanksgiving Day of Capt. and Mrs. J. D. Moore. He was pastor of the Gastonia Baptist church ten years ago and has many friends here who greet him with pleasure. Mr. Allison Hlckson, his son, is teaching in Virginia; Miss Ruby in South Carolina; Miss Josie in Alabama. Mrs. Hickson, between whom and her husband a separation took place a year or so ago, is in Charleston with her little daughter Mary. Mr. Hickson serves three churches near Gaffney very acceptably and farms successfully, having raised and sold this year at a good profit, twenty-five bales of cotton Rev. W. W. Ratchford, seventy-two years of age and raised in Gaston county, visited Gastonia yesterday for the first time. He left Gaston about | three years after the surrender and has i been a preacher of the gospel fortyfour years. He Is still active In the ministry, a member of Bethel presbytery In South Carolina, with his home near Waxhaw just Inside the North Carolina line. Friday he came to visit Mrs. Martha Ford, his sister In South Point; then he came on to see his older brother Robert, eighty years of age, who lives with his nephew, Mr. Rufus Ratchford. He preached at New Hope Sunday and drove over to Gastonla yesterday with Mr. Rufus Ratchford. He is spry and sprightly, bright-witted, sociable and young of heart, though he is seventy-two and has raised ten children. It was a pleasure to make his acquaintance. SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY. Change on the Moon?Light Lost from Globes?The Divining Rod MvetArv?A "Freezina" Salt?Finger Print Identification?How Radium Is Obtained?Electrically Dried Peat. Accumulating evidence proves that the moon is not the changeless body usually supposed. Crater Linne, charted early in the last century as a deep crater four or five miles across, now appears as a white spot of varying size. Pickering supposes it to contain a frost deposit, which is partially melted during the lunar forenoon and again condensed as the day wanes. Hyginus N, near the center'of the disc, was not mapped until 1877, but has been a conspicuous object since then. Numerous craters contain variable dark spots. These darken soon after sunrise, in a variable way, and fade toward sunset, and the belief seems to be strengthening that they represent some kind of vegetation. It is suggested that sufficient water vapor and carbonic acid gas to support vegetation may be emitted from the small craterlets and cracks in the surface. In a recent test of the loss of light due to globes, a naked Nernst lamp was compared by a photometer with the same lamp variously shielded. With a holophane globe the loss of light was 14.1 per cent; prismatic glass, 19.6; rose holophane, 20.8; white opal, 53.2; yellow opal, 59.7; ruby opal, 65.2: rose opal, (grooved), 72.2; rose opal (light), 75.6, and with green opal (light), 77.8. With amber chimneys the loss was 12.8 per cent, white opal, 36.7, and.light blue, 54.2. A Glasgow museum is forming an Important collection of railway material, Intended to cover the period from the time when the Romans brought over the system of stone roads. Between 60 and 70 different exhibits will be Included. The sense of smell in the snail has been found by Emile Yung to be limited, as a rule, to a distance of about an Inch. The mysterious working of the divining or dowsing rod has been mads a psychological problem by Prof. W F. Barrett, an English investigator He finds that the slight involuntary and unconscious movements so marked in some persons, and so strikingly shown by the dowsing rod, can be cultivated, but that it is absurd to attribute the motion of the rod to a special stimulus from the presence ol underground water. He believes the success of many dowsers may be explained by a trained keenness in detecting surface signs of underground water or metallic ores. All successes however, are not made clear by this nor by coincidence, and Prof. Barretl concludes that some persons have a mental power hitherto unnoticed?ar extra acute perceptive faculty that re' ? * ? ceives an impression wiwu a.n v/ujcvi sought is approached. He suggests that the dowsing rod might be superseded by an apparatus for registering changes in the blood circulation of the susceptible person. Freezing mixtures, containing more than one ingredient, are Inconvenient and A. Desmarest, a French chemist has sought to overcome the disadvantage by producing a single salt of considerable cooling power by boiling o sodium salt at 250 deg. F. The crystallized product, called "boreol," is odorless, and can be preserved indefinitely. When mixed with 60 per cenl of water it gives a temperature ol about 30 degs. below that of the water and a pound will cool three pints ol water to about 50 degs. The systems of lines on the flngei tips remain unchanged through life, and so characteristic of the individual is each set that no duplicates have yel been found, although the police ol Paris alone have preserved over a million imprints. Not long ago the only trace of a murderer found was a faint thumb Impression on a window sash. Bertillon photographed and enlarged this.and it was compared with the recorded finger prints until a duplicate was discovered, identifying the murderer. The contested theory that pearls are due to a parasite in the oyster was first advanced by Filippi in 1852. Several recent observers have confirmed the view. The separation of radium from pitchblende is a long and tedious process. The rare ore is first crushed, and the powder is roasted with carbonate of soda. After washing, the residue is treated with dilute sulphuric acid, the sulphates being then converted into carbonates by boiling with strong carbonate of soda solution. Radium sulphate, an exceedingly insoluble salt, is contained in the residue. The soluble sulphates are washed out, and from the residue hydrochloric abid dissolves out polonium, actinium and other *ele rnenis. xvauiuni suipnaie remains, wiui some barium sulphate. These sulphates are converted into carbonates by boiling with carbonate of soda solution, and the carbonates are dissolved in hydrocholoric acid, and precipitated again as sulphates by means of sulphuric acid. The sulphates are further purified and finally converted into chlorides. A ton of pitchblende yields about fifteen pounds of the mixed chlorides of radium and barium, from which a small fraction of radium chloride is separated by crystallization. In a new peat-fuel process lately exhibited at Charlton, Eng., the water is removed by mechanical and electrical means. The freshly cut peat is packed into rotating cylinders, and fans beat out part of the moisture, while an electric current is passing through the mass, heating it and aiding In expelling the water. The material is finally pressed into briquettes. The fuel is claimed to be economical, but nearly two pounds must be burned to give the effect of a pound of steam coal. In tree-felling by electricity in French forest?, only an eighth of the time of ordinary sawing is required. A platinum wire, made white-hot by the current, is used like a saw and it cuts without dust, while the slight carbonization tends to preserve the wood. It is estimated that New York city alone has 150.000 persons who would be dead without the medical progress of the last fifty years. /\p Aoin?&l Story For Little Folks ft Bear as a Drinker "When I lived in the. circus," sai< the bear to the parrot, "there was one a great storm, and the rain came dowi so hard that it just filled up all thi cages and the rings and everything The circus men were afraid that al the animals except the sea lion woul< be drowned."

"Do you think you could drink a the water out of that tub?" asked tb , parrot, pointing to a tub of water sii I ting on a stooi near Dy. ( "Certainly." said the bear, though h did not appreciate the Idea of havln his much boasted powers put to tb ; test in this sudden fashion. But he leaned over the tub and b< j gan to drink and gulped down the wt ter until he thought he would buist. "Now the tub Is empty!" he cried 1 i glee as he saw the last drop of wate disappear.

Only a Squad. A notice of the death of Albert Sels L more, which occurred at his horn near Batesvllle last tveek, was put ! lished in the Greenville News. The following notice in reference t Mr. Seizmore is from the Charlesto L Post of Saturday, and will be of ir - terest in this section: 1 Albert Seizmore of Greenville cour ty, and Charles Brennecke of Wes1 1 Chester county, N. Y., both veterar 1 of the Mexican war, who enlisted 1 Company F, Palmetto regiment, th? went from this state, died at their re 1 spective homes yesterday. Both of th old veterans were known In Charles ' ton, having Joined Company F In th! * city, which was organized by Mr. Lou! F. Roberson, who is now living, th f first man in South Carolina who vol - unteered for the Mexican war. Bot . died at the age of seventy-seven year Mr. Brennecke was a resident < Walhalla, but when troops rere neede 1 for the Mexican war he came to th: j fity and enlisted. Mr. Selzmore ws , a resident of Greenville county and h : too, hurried to Charleston, tvhere th company was being organized and ol fered his services. Magistrate O. I Levy, who went out to Mexico wit ' the famous Palmetto regiment, enlist [ ed in Company F, says that he re . members both Mr. Seizmore and M Brennecke very well indeed, though h i had lost trace of them for the past se\ [ eral years. r There are now only fourteen survl vors of the Palmetto Regiment livin 1 most of them being scattered over th state. Of this- number two are livin In Charleston, Judge O. R. Levy an > L. F. Roberson. Mr. Brennecke wa 1 the only survivor of the regiment liv i ing outside the state. The last survivor of the Palmett i regiment will receive the Andrew ( Jackson silver cup, which was pre , sented to General Jackson by th ! South Carolina legislature. The cu was on exhibition at the South Caro lina exposition held here in 1902. 1 13 now nem in Columbia, it is a ver , la:ge cup, more like a vase or urn an Is beautifully engraved, i At the close of the Mexican wa i General Jackson expressed a desire t give the cup to the bravest soldier i the Palmetto regiment. The officer of the regiment were called togethe i to decide who was the bravest man i the regiment. They found it a diffi cult question to decide. In fact, it wa not decided for they were all brav ' men. Finally General Jackson came t the conclusion that the best way t ' award the cup was to give It to th last survivor of the regiment. Whe ho drew up his will be inserted a clause bequeathing the cup to the last sur vivor of the famous Palmetto regi ment. There are now only fourteen survl vors of the regiment. All of them ar old men, their gray hairs and stoopei shoulders plainly telling that they hav all lived their allotted time, thre score years and ten. It Is to be hopei that many years will be spared to thes old men of the Palmetto regiment whi took such a conspicuous part In one o the great wars of the United States.

In competitive tests the Blckford & Huffman Drills always carry off the blue ribbon. They have done this a great many times in the past and will do the same trick many times in the future. At the State Fair, Raleigh, N. C., in October, 1900, the manager of the State Agricultural Farm, located near Raleigh, selected the Blckford & Huffman Combination Hoe and Disc Drills in preference over six other drills which were put up for selection at the same fair. Recently the Virginia State Exper lmental Farm selected the Blckford & Huffman improved 8 disc drill to be used on the farm lately established by Virginia. This selection was made after a close comparison with every other make of drill sold on the Richmond market. The Farmers' Favorite?that Is the Blckford u. Huffman Drill, Is used on the Clemson College Farm. Are these facts not enough to con- . vlnce the most skeptical? If not If you will give us the opportunity by coming to see us we will point out the various advantages of these drills that are not embodied in any other make. We have them for sale and prompt delivery at the right prices and on f\e easiest terms. YORKVILLE BUGGY COMPANY, * Yorkvilla, 8. C. I SOUTHERN RAILWAY SCHEDULES.
