Politics a Disorder.?Representative
Edward Hamilton of Michigan, recently
went for a walk in the country.
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.

"Is it that you may not be elected?"
"It is the uncertainty of whether the

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.

GASTON.
Gaston ia Gazette, December 1: The
family of Mrs. Mary A. 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

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.

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

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.

Frames, Cooking or Heating Stoves,
Trunks or anything else that this store

it is to your interest and ours that we

we are sure, that you do not know
whether our ware3 meet your ideas as
to what you want unless yoii call and
examine them with your own eyes,
and that you do not know whether
our prices are as high as others until
you have heard with your own
ears. We are confident that both our
goods and prices will please you, and
we say this because we rarely ever
fail to make sales to persons who come
to see us after they Inspect our lines

Any way it will not take a great
deal of your time to look us up and
ascertain whether or not your interests
will be advanced by bestowing
your patronage on this store. If you
are not satisfied, of course, we could
not expect your patronage, and besides
we would not want it, as we
know by experience that no store can
have a more valuable asset than satisfied
customers.

WHAT WOULD YOU BP?
AND AT WHAT PRICE?
All questions without offers never terminate
in business. Hundreds of you
have idle money doing you comparatively
little good, that would be of
great advantage to the world, as well
as yourself, if it were put In circulation
judiciously. Did you ever see a
mill grind while the wheels were idle?
Neither will your money pay you idle,
if you have property not paying you,
sell it, and let somebody else see what
luck they can have with it. Did you
ever see money invested judiciously in
Real Estate show e. loss to the owner?
How does this' compare with stocks,
bonds or perishable property? Note
the losses in the latter. I can buy

The "Farmers'
Favorite" Is
Selected by the
Experts?
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.
