THURSDAY. JUNE 1, 1905.
The Charleston News and Courier
of Tuesday came to us printed on the
new Double Supplement Hoe Perfect
ing Printing Press. This is one of the
most perfect newspaper printing ma
chines that has ever been invented.
The cost of this improvement in the
mechanical department of this newspa
per is considerably over $25,000. And
the expenditure of such a sum is a good
indication of the prosperous condition
Thus far full details of the naval bat
tle have not come to hand. From the
briefest and most fragmentary reports
coming toTokio it is impossible to gain
an approximate conception or picture
of the desperate and decisive combat.
The navy department, after announc
ing the bare results, yesterday lapsed
into silence again.
Admiral Toga appears to have plan
ned and laid a complete trap which fit
ted Admiral Rojestvenski’s action and
the Japanese out manoeuvered, out
fought and out shot the Russians, fear
lessly taking lightest cruisers against
the heavy Russian armor clad battle
ships and joining battleships with ar
mored cruisers, smothering them with
gunfire.
Tremendous interest attaches to the
submarine vessels. The navy depart
ment is silent on this point, but it is
confidently believed that submarines
were effectively used for the first time
in history. Theoretically, the sea was
too rough for the employment of sub
marines Saturday, but the Japanese
sailors welcome desperate chances. It
is believed that torpedo boats aad de
stroyers scored heavily Saturday night.
The conditions on Sunday was most fa
vorable. The night wascalmn and clear
and land was visible for 40 miles across
the Tsu straits.
Hundreds of Russian refugees who
landed on the Tsu islands and neigh
boring provinces are coming to Sasebo
and Maizuru. Many of them are woun
ded and are otherwise suffering from
the terrible ordeal of the long battle
Local branches of the Red Cross and
government hospitals are sheltering
and treating them. It is believed that
the fighting ended Monday. A search
of the sea is in progress to-day. The

of the business.
The mechanical work on the News
and Courier, like the editorial, and
local, has always been exceptionally
good, but this new press enables our
esteemed competitor to do more work
and do it more economically.
The naval battle of Tushima, as it is
called,of Sunday, in the Korean straits,
to all intents and purposes settles the
outcome of the war. Rojestvensky’s
fleet was the last hope of Russia to re
trieve her ill fortune in war, and but
for it even the vacillating czar must
have finally been convinced that a fur
ther prosecution of the war was hope
less, and that its continuation would be
a crime against civilization. Practi
cally all was staked upon the result of
the naval battle ; and now that the Bal
tic fleet has been destroyed or dispersed
there is nothing else for Russia to do
but accept the inevitable and make the
best terms possible w’ith its victorious
opponents.
The battle was in truth an historic
one. It places Japan unquestionably
among the great powers of the earth to
be reckoned with in future world poli
tics. It brings Russia down from her
former place of power and influence, a
country whose aggressions were a per
petual source of concern and even fear
on the part of other nations. It does
not make her a second rate power by
any means, for with greater freedom
and honest and just administration of
her internal affairs she will be the
strong and powerful nation she was up
to recent times believed to be. But
her humiliation is overwhelming, and
in some respects she will receive sym
pathy, yet the concensus of opinion of
the civilized world will undoubtedly
bo that she richly deserves her fate be
cause of the outrageous disregard of

The government and the inftaman cruel
ties and massacres so ofteri'Tnflicted
upon them by their rulers.—Colombia
Record.
Indications have been rapidly multi
plying the past several weeks to show
that the dispensary is losing its hold in
all parts of the State; dissatisfaction
has set in with gre^t strength from two
important quarters, and demonstrating
that the unexpected has happened
again. The larger cities and the rural
districts, the urban anti-Tillman ele
ment, and the farming Tillman ele
ment, seem to have unconsciously com
bined forces in a movement which is
gathering force and compactness daily
and which many experienced politicians
are freely predicting will wipe out the
system entirely, if not at the next ses
sion of the legislature then at the suc
ceeding session, when a new set of men
will be seated.
That the action of Cherokee and
Pickens counties, where there are few
towns of importance was not due to
spasmodic local influences or isolated
prohibition sentiment, but is indicative
of the general feeling of these kind of
communities upon which the system
has been depending for its suppert for
so many years, seems to be shown by
the information that is now constantly
floating into Columbia that the rural
districts have been convinced that the
system is permeated with graft and
that other departments of the State
government have been tarred with the
same feather.
On top of this manifestation of deep
discontent, not to say disgust, on the
part of the rural districts, comes news
of a movement that has been started
to vote the dispensary out of Charles
ton. Copies of the petition calling for
an election have been drafted and will
be put in circulation in a few days.
Some time ago it was predicted on
all sides that the election to be held in
Spartanburg would overwhelmingly
sustain the dispensary, but there seems
to have been a decided change there in
the past two or three weeks, since the
campaign has opened actively and the
eon test has become heated.
fate of Admiral Rojestvensky is still in
doubt. The failure of tidings strength
ens the belief that he has reached Vla
divostok badly wounded.
Thus far the losses reported are as
follows:
Russian—6 battleships, ocruisers and
6 special service vessels sunk; and 2
battleships, 2 coast defense ships, and
1 torpedo destroyer captured. Total
loss 22 vessels. Men killed, wounded
and captured, about 4,000.
Japanese—No vessel lost, and about
500 men killed or wounded.
The wonderful fact that the Japanese
destroyed so many of the Russian ships
without losing a single ship themselves
is explicable only by their accuraie
marksmanship.
It seems that on every one of the
large calibre guns on the Japanese bat
tleships and cruisers is placed a minia
ture gun. For hours at a time, day
after day, the Japinese engage in target
practice with these miniature guns.
They shoot at a target which is placed
at distances which are in the same pro-
l ortion to the carrying power of the
miniature gun as one, two. three, four
or five miles, we will say. are to the big
gun. The gun crew go through exactly
the same drill preparatory to dischag-
ing the miniature gun as it would if
the big gun of which the small gun is
the counterpart was to be fired.
The cost of such target practice is
trifling as compared with the cost of
using the big gun, and so expense puts
no limit to the number of shots that
are fired. The gunners shoot the small
gun on the dip and rise of the vessel,
when she lists, in heavy and calm seas,
until they become so expert that their
percentage is phenomenal.
It was the deadly accuracy they ac
quired by constant use of their minia
ture guns which enabled the Japanese
to use their big guns against Rojest
vensky with such terrible effect.
Nitrogen by Mall All Over the World.
T. R. Robinson of the Department of
Agriculture, Washington, discussing
the inoculation of soil with nitrogen,
writes as follows in The Country Cal

azine by the Review of Review’s Book
Company:
“Not only has inoculation made it
possible to grow legumes on soiljvhich

ESSENTIAL RULES OF SUCCESS
y/te State.
Baron Alphonso Rothschild, who died
in Paris a few days ago, never lost an
opportunity to aid young men—with
advice. He doubtless aided many young
men with other things, but his advice
was enough if it could be followed. It
was potentially worth some of the Ba
ron’s millions—not all of them, as he
inherited a great fortune. He gave
wisely in a currency which the whole
world shamefully abuses, in lavish,
spendthrift giving—good counsel His
precepts were the fruit of his practice,
and he never advised another to do a
thing that he had himself found impos
sible—that he had not done.
After years of success he gathered up
a few maxims that had served him as
guiding principles, each one tested by
his own experience, and tried as a
measure of the successful experience
of others. These he had printed upon
cards and distributed among the young
men of France. Here they are:
Shun liquor.
Dare to go forward
Never be discouiaged.
Be polite to everybody.
Employ your time well.
Never tell business lies.
Pay your debts promptly.
Be prompt in everything.
Bear all troubles patiently.
Do not reckon upon fehances.
Make no useless acquaintances.
Be brave in the struggle of life.
Maintain your integrity as a sacred
thing.
Never appear to be something more
than you are.
Take time to consider; then decide
positively.
Carefully examine into every detail
of your business.
The peculiar and inspiriting strength
of the maxims is their fine practicable
ness. They could be followed by the
average young man of intelligence pro
vided he has the courage,for a high
moral courage is necessary to any large
or worthy success.
These eighty W’ords form a lexicon of
conduct—a lexicon in which there is no
such w’ord as * fail.”
Our National Prosperity.
The United States, after a twelve-
months’ halt in ita trade activity 4 has
again moved forward, with evidence on j
all sides of healthy industrial expan- j
sion. Two tests habitually applied by i
experts as a measure of trade condi-•
tions in this country are the exchange
of bank checks at its clearing houses,
showing the volume of business actual
ly done, and the consumption of manu
factured iron, showing the plans of gen- i
eral industry. If merchants, bankers !
and manufacturers make fewer pay- i
ments through their banks, it means j
that the sales and purchases in their in- j
dustry are reduced. If orders for iron j
and steel diminish, it is a sign that |
manufacturers, builders, and transpor
tation companies foresee small busi
ness and are curtailing orders for new
machinery, new structural material,
and new rails or cars. Each of these
signs of the times foretold with un
pleasant clearness the reaction of 1903.
The shrinkage in clearing-house ex
changes. and the cutting in two of the
country’s iron production, pointed un-
m stakably to the coming storm. But
the storm passed over rapidly. This
season, bank checks put through the
country’s clearing houses have sur
passed all records in our history, rising
in value 50 per cent over 1904. Iron
production has reached a magnitude
twice that of December, 1903, and never
approached in the history of the tr de.
Consumption at the rate of nearly two
million tons a month, where a million
tons was the highest monthly average
of any year up to 1900, is witness to the
state of our industries.—From ‘ The

can Monthly Review of Reviews for

THE YOLKS OF EGGS.
Those of a Reddish Hue Better than the
Pale Yellow.
There is most probably an important
dietic difference between two eggs, the
yolk of one which is of a very pale yel
low color and that of the other a rich,
almost reddish color. It is a notorious

cases that the highly bred bacteria are
more efficient as nitrogen-gatherers
than those preciously occurring in soils
This may be illust rated by a report from
a section where clover had previously
been an average good crop: ‘With the
seed inoculated we produced clover
eighteen to twenty inches high at this
time and blooming; that not inoculated
is six to eight inches high and sickly-
lookinp, not blooming. We have all
confidence in the germ,-and believe it
will restore clover to us again.’ Even
more striking than this is the following
from a region where clover has previ
ously not been grown: ‘I sowed about
eight pounds of clover seed, not inocu
lated, all over the field, and three
pounds of inoculated seed in the form
of a cross. Result, cross distinct with
clover; balance of the field none.’
Several recent reports from distant
countries show that the bacteria in the
dry culture form can actually be sent
on long journeys and retain their orig
inal power. From New Zealand, “the
trials at the Government Experiment
Farms are reported to be quite success
ful.’ From Natal, South Africa, the
inoculated cow-peas produced nodules
in every case, while those not so treat
ed failed to show nodules.’

burg has a larger mill population than
any other county in the State, and the
contest will be of great interest as
showing the attitude of this element, j
Mill managers contend that dispensary
or any other kind ef whiskey has a de- !
eidedly deteriorating influence on help,
and the influence of the mill owners
and managers is always against wins-j
key. In the Pickens election one of the
cotton mill boxes voted 50 against and
only 1 for the dispensary. Men of good
political judgment who have studied ’
the Spartanburg situation from Ixith
close and long range, say that if the
election were held to-morrow Spartan
burg would vote out the dispensaries
by a two to one vote.—Charleston Post.

usually be placed under the latter de
scription, while the egg produced by
the hen that is under an unhealthy and
limited environment shows an anaemic
color, generally a very pale yellow.
The eggs of wild birds—as, for exam
ple, the plover—show a yolk of rich
reddish color.
The substance which contributes col
or to the yolk of the egg is iron, just, as
it is iron which gives the color to the
blood, and there seems to be little
doubt that the iron compound in the
yolk of the egg is of a similar nature
to that of the blood. It is easily assim
ilated, and eggs are regarded as a suit
able food for the anaemic person, as
they present a concentrated and gen
erally easily digested form oPhutriment
rich in iron. The iron compound of the
egg has, in fact, been termed a “hae-
matogen,” because it is probable that
from it the blood of the chick is derived.
The amount of iron in the yolk of an
egg would appear to increase with the
intensity of its color, and there can be
but little doubt that the maximum is
reached in the richly colored yolk of
the egg produced by a fowl existing in
healthy surroundings, for then its pro
cesses of nutrition would be working
under very favorable conditions. As
an article of diet, therefore, the egg
should be judged not by the color of
its shell, but of the yolk, which should
be a rich reddish rather than of a pale
yellow color.—Lancet.
Reindeer in Alaska.
It is gratifying, says The New York
Sun, to learn that our reindeer stations
in Alaska can now supply the present
needs of the country and will have be
fore long a surplus for export, if any
body wants to buy. No Siberian ani
mals have been imported for three
years and the domestic herds are doub
ling every two and one-third years.
Dr. Jackson’s latest report says that
in the eleven years of importations
from Siberia a total of 1.280 animals
were ferried across Behring sea. In
June last year there were 8,189 reindeer
in the Alaskan herds, to say nothing of
the surplus males, which the Esquimau
herders are permitted to kill for food.
No females may be slaughtered, the
present policy being to increase the
herds as rapidly as possible. At the
present rate there should be 128,000
! deer in Alaska in 1915 and about 38,000
fawns should be born in that year.
We see the Esquimau already skilful
in raising and training reindeer. He
I owns about a third of the deer in the
j territory. He is beginning to sell fresh
j meat to miners, an important matter
i at the inland camps, for moose and car-
| ibou are disappearing, and beef and
! mutton from the .-Hates are hard to get.
j He is proving to be skilful in driving
: reindeer and is already carrying mail,
! freight and passengers between mining
| camps on four postal routes.
I So the reindeer is helping to solve a
serious problem. Our Mongol wards
- along the coast were in a wretched state
and their privations threaten to wine
j them out, but UncleSam lias introduced
| them to a source of wellbeing that as
sures their future and makes them help

Noah’s Ark.
It was on Nov. 16, B C. 2348, that
Noah and the animals came out of the
ark, according to Archbishop Ussher’s
; chronology. Several experts have cal
culated that they enjoyed ample ac-
commodation in the ark. Sir Walter
Raleigh computed that there were
eighty-nine distinct species of beasts
to he provided for. “or. lest any should
be omitted, a hundred several kinds.”
He allowed tha, one elephant would
want as much space as four beeves and
one lion as two wo'ves and found that
there was room for 91, or. say. 120
b< e e-. 80 sheep and 6i wolves, which
sufficed. One story or n« m would
hold these, another their meat, a third
; the birds and their food, and still there
j was space for Noah and his family.
