A Lesson in Bee Catnre, To the Editor of the News and Cou? rier: Having noticed that your enter? prising paper has for some time tried to illicit an article from some one of your many readers upon the subject of bee culture in this State, I have been quietly waiting for some one who has been more extensively engaged in this business to enlighten your read? ers upon this subject, and I am glad to see that Dr. Peete has sent you a Bample of his honey, and has promis? ed to tell us something of the "little busy bee" and his culture. I have about forty-five colonies, and could have had many morer but I did not care to increase my stocks, as I do not raise honey for market, and only sell it to the laborers on my farm. My table is always supplied with the purest and most delicious honey that costs me almost nothing. A few years ago I had but one colony in an old fashioned board hive. I bought the right from an agent to make and use a patent frame hive called the "Golden Bee Hive." Into this kind of a hive I had my colony transferred. I soon acquired the art of controlling the bees, and in a very short time I could put under oontrol any colony of bees, and found them as harmless as so many house flies. This is done by a smoker made of a few cotton rags fold? ed together. Light the smoker, go quietly up to the hive, blow in a little smoke and then rap on the hive once or twice: the bees become alarmed, rush to the combs and fill themselves on honey. They are then perfectly harmless and cau be handled or driv? en out of the hive by blowing a little smoke and continuing to rap on the hive with perfect safety. During April and May tbe honey is inexhaustible. We have many flow? ering trees in our swamps, prominent among which is the sour wood tree, which affords a rich harvest for the bees ; but the great source from which honey is gathered is the "honey dew," quantities of which are evaporated by the sun or washed away by the rains, and never gathered by the bees. The secret in bee culture is to keep strong colonies, as one Btrong colony is worth more than two weak ones. Two colo? nies can be easily combined by de? stroying one of the queens and putting both colonies in one hive* They are then much less liable to be attacked by bee moths, and their capacity for gathering and storing honey is thereby increased. Every colony is composed of three kinds of bees?the drones, the queen and the workers. The drones are the mule bees, larger than the workers and stingless. The queen is a large wasp-shaped bee, larger than any of the other bees, and is the mother of the hive, and is easily distinguished by the most casual observer. Last, but not least, comes the workers, equipped with their wax pockets and honey sacks ; they toil as only the little "busy bee" delights to do, The average life of a worker is only about seventy days, and he has ho time to loaf. The queen livtis several years and has a layihg -capacity of several hundred eggs daily. The drones only help to propagate their species, and do not work, and are killed by the workers when they have served their purpose and are of no further use to the colony. Bee culture is pleasant and profitable on the farm and requires comparatively little trouble or labor outside of constructing the hive. The greatest trouble I have ever had is to find a market for the honey. 1 ship? ped several hundred pounds in the comb once to Georgetown of beautiful delioious honey and could not sell at any price and had it returned. I have never found it necessary to use a "honey slinger" to throw the honey out of the comb as fast as it is gath? ered by the bees. Where it is raised for market every apiary should be supplied with suita? ble frame hives, and all the modern appliances necessary to hand the bees and honey in the most skillful and profitable manner. My bees make upon an average about twenty-five pounds of surplus comb honey to the colony,which, if sold at ten cents per pound, would bring in a yearly in? come of two dollars and fifty cents from each colony. With the proper management the profit might be dou? bled or perhaps trebled. I have the brown, or German bee. The Italian beo is larger and less inclined to sting and can gather more honey and there? fore is more profitable. Every farm? er should keep at least a few colonies of bees. The honey is not only a pala? table dish, but it is often needed for medical purposes. It is an easy mat? ter for every man in South Carolina who owns a farm to raise all the honey he wants for the use of his family. The country will never be overstocked with bees, as only a small percentage of honey that our forests afford is gathered by the bees. W. E. Nbsmith, Sr. Dock, Williamsburg County, July 12,1S95. _ Mx SHictdes. The Bible gives an account of six suicides : 1. Samson, the giant judge of Israel, for 20 years without a spot on his judicial proceedings, fell in bad society, was captured by his enemies and to free himself from disgrace and the cruel sport of his enemies, killed himself by his own strength. Judges, xv, 1-19. 2. Saul, King of Israel, lost the battle of Gilboa, afterward threw him? self on the point of his sword and ended his life. I Sam. xxxi. 3. Saul's armor bearer suicided as I did his master, with no name recorded in the Bible. 4. Ahitopbel, the most astute poli? tician of the age in which he lived. ! He joined with Absalom in the con I spiracy against David. His counsel against David being defeated, and I seeing his own destruction, hanged himself. II Sam. xvii, 23. 5. Zimri murdered Elah, King of Israel, and usurped the throne, de? stroyed the house of Baasha, reigned seven days and went into the palace of the King's house, and burnt it with himself in it to prevent his capture by Omri. I Kings, xvi. 6. Judas, the traitor, betrayed his master and sold him for 30 pieces of j silver, near $15 of our money. He brought the money back and cast it into the temple saying, "I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood," repented himself. Mat., xxvii. He had some honest traits about him.

There are 25,000,000 gallons of mo? lasses stored in tanks on the various sugar plantations throughout the State that is an elephant on the sugar plant? ers' hands. They do not know what to do with it. They cannot sell it, : for any profit in sight would be eaten up in transportation. Besides, it would require a cool half million dol? lars to barrel it, and putting this sum and the freight charges together, when the present price of molasses is taken into consideration, the shipper would find that he would be out of pocket after his labor as concluded. The question of what disposition to make of this molasses is a knotty one to the sugar planters, and at the last two meetings of their association no other subject has been discussed. The planters say that it is a problem that has to be solved, for before the next crop is taken off, this surplus molasses has to be got rid of in order to make room for the new crop. Here? tofore, the stuff has been dumped into the river or swamps. In the latter method it has been found that the molasses sours and makes life disa greeable to those living five miles away, while in dumping it into the river or Btreams, people living on the banks complain of it as a nuisance. It is being fed to stock, but from statistics there is not enough stock by one-third on the various plantations to consume it. Suggestions have been made to distill it into alcohol, but the planters find that it would require such an outlay of money to erect a distillery to distill fine alcohol so as to compete with the world's markets, that it would not pay. It has also been suggested that as molasses is ex? cellent stock food that it be shipped to central distributing poitits where stock is raised in large numbers Texas, for instance?by the means of tank cars. This suggestion has met with some favor, and some day the experiment may be tried. The only solution, however, in sight seems to be to the discovery of some way in which the molasses can be burned as fuel. When his problem is solved the planters believe that mo? lasses will then be valuable. Experi? ments have been tried in burning mo? lasses. What the planters want is an invention which will successfully allow molasses to enter the furnace in such a manner that it will turn rapid? ly, will not gum the carrier, and, in fact, do its duty without injuring the furnace in any respect. There is a fortune in sight for the man who works out this invPr.tion. A system of spraying the molasses on the bagasse as it goes along with the carrier to the furnace is, from all accountSj the only system that will suffice; At last week's meeting of the Sugar Planters' Association, W. O. Coleman, a practical engineer, made a sugges? tion !.- to one good use molasses could be pu. to. He said that while in Texas, at a point near Houston, he built a number of furnaces. In one he experimented with various stuffs furnaces are made of. He tried asbes tosj fire clayj and a solution consisting of fe?tiihl?u reu clay, molasses and salt Water. After a time he found both the asbestos and the fire clay peeling off from the intense heat, but the clay mixed with molasses was as intact as the day it was first pl?stured in. In making this solution he used onc-hnlf gallon of molasses to one bushel of clay, with salt water to soften to the proper degree. Strange Feat on a Dangerous L?g. Greenville county continues to be in front. Citizens of other counties have ridden cyclones, fallen from great heights, jumped from high bridges, survived after days of expos? ure at sea in small open boats and lived to relate their symptoms after having been in pathways for lightning strokes. A Georgia man is said to be living in a dime museum somewhere with a broken neck and there is a tra? dition that an Orangeman once recov? ered after having carried a yellow handkerchief and whietled "Boyne Water" in'the streets of Cork on the 17th.of March; All these signs and wonders and rescues are of small ac? count, however, compared with the experience of Lee Holland, of Austin township, this county, on Tuesday. Dr. W. A. Austin, who was here yes? terday, was telling about it. Mr. Holland struggled with and rode on the hind leg of a mule and is living and but very slightly disfigured. The mule had been dressed and decorated for a promenade in the field, wearing the usual jewelry and ornaments, and Mr. Holland attempt to mount carrying a sweep. The mule objected and Mr. Holland got down a great deal faster than he intended to. As he fell the trace chain wrapped around one of his legs. This made Mr. Holland's position an embarrass? ing one. To have one's leg pulled is always unpleasant, but to have it pulled by an annoyed plow mule is particularly awkward. The mule started to run, evidently with the be? lief that he had a cinch on his em? ployer and with the benevolent pur? pose of dragging that unhappy citizen to death. Mr. Holland did what, not one man in ten thousand would have had the quickness or presence of mind to do. He seized one of the mule's hind legs and held on to it while the animal ran around the house. It was the most extraordinary ride ever taken by a human being and while it had while it had all the charms of interest, novelty and excitement, Mr. Holland is not anxious to do it again. Proba? bly he did the only thing he could have done to save his life The mule couldn't kick to any advantage?or disadvantage?with the weight of a man on his leg. Mrs. Holland ran from the house as the procession pass? ed and with remarkable strength and courage caught the animal by the nose and held on, shutting off his wind by clamping his notrils together. Being thus hampered at each end, the mule was forced to stop. Mrs. Holland helped her husband to un? tangle himself and then collapsed. She has been suffering from nervous prostration ever stnee and is more se? riously hurt than her husband who es? caped with a few bruises. And Lec Holland, of Greenville, is the only living creature who ever suc? cessfully grappled with and rode on a mule's hind leg.?Greenville News. A Tobacco Story. A comical story is told of two well known Southern clergymen, one of whom uudcrtook to rebuke the other for using the weed : 'Brother G.," he exclaimed, with? out stopping to ask questions, "is it possible that you chew tobacco ?" "I must confess, I do," the other quietly replied. ''Then I would quit it, for," the old gentleman energetically continued, "it is a very unclerical practice, and a very uncleanly one. Tobacco! Why, sir, even a hog won't chew it." "Father C, do you chew tobacco ?" responded the amused listener. "I? No, sir !" he answered gruf? fly, with much indignation. "Then, pray, which is the most like the hog, you or I ?" The old doctor's fat sides shook with laughter, as he said : "Well, I have been fairly caught this time." ? Cripples are rarely seen in China. Any child born deformed is at once put to death. Good Work or None. It is a rule that a workman must follow his employer's orders, but no one has a right to make him do work discreditable to himself. Judge M-, a well-known jurist, living near Cin? cinnati, loves to tell this anecdote of a young man who undertook the risk of doing a shabby job, even when di? rected to. He had on one occasion to send to the village for a carpenter, and a stur? dy young fellow appeared with his tools. "I want this fence mended to keep out the cattle. There are some un plained boards?use them. It is out of sight of the house, so you need not take time to make it a neat job. I will pay you a dollar and a half." The judge went to dinner, and com? ing out, found the man carefully plain? ing each board. Supposing that he was trying to mako a costly job of it. he ordered him to hall them on at once, just as they were, and continued his walk. When he returned j the boards were all plained and numbered ready for nailing. "I told you this fence was to be cov? ered with vines," he said angrily ; "I do not care how it looks." "I do," said the carpenter gruffly, carefully measuring his work. When he had finished there was no part of the fence as thorough in finish. "How much do you charge ?." anked the judge. "A dollar and a half," said the man, shouldering his tools. The judge started. "Why did you spend all that labor on the job, if not for money *?" "For the job, sir." "Nobody would have seen the poor work on it." "But I should have known it was there. No; I'll take only a dollar and a half." And he went away. Ten years afterwards, the jildge had the contract to give for several mag? nificent public buildings. There were many applicants among master-build? ers ; but the face of one caught his eye. "It was my man of the fence," he said. "I knew we should have only good and genuine work from him. I gave him the contract, and it made a rich man of him." It is a pity that boys arc not taught in their earliest yearn that the highest success belongs to the man, be he car? penter, farmer, author, or artist, whose work is most sincerely and thoroughly done.?Living Age. R vfBle.l in a Dream** One of the most unaccountable ad? ventures ih the phenomena of the lives of the physicians eveT recorded was related by Dr. Charles Bookman, of Astoria, L. I., at a meeting of the American Medical Society in New York recently, says the Journal of that city. The scientific men present were much interested in the strange freak of nature the practitioner dis? closed. They believe it new and val? uable evidence regarding the much discussed opinions on the conditions of the mind and brain in sleep, which is also a subject of strong human in? terest. "It seems to me," said Dr. Bock man, after introducing the subject to his listeners in a formal manner, "that it a truly remarkable occurrence when a physician makes a clear diag? nosis of a mysterious malady in dream? land. Yet I have done so?and done so to my utter amazement. When with purGly characteristic instinct, I examined into my dream and found it as a spokesman of fact, I was strick? en speechless, but since I have come to the conclusion that the phenome? non is not mysterious Or even strange. I was called to attend a little baby suf? fering the most rigid spasmodic con? vulsions, the cause for which I found impossible to discover. I first saw the poor little infant on Sunday, and by Tuesday had become perfectly non? plussed as to what to do for it, further than to administer temporary relief. I thought of nothing else than the poor little one's sufferings all day Monday, and retired that night with the child's remarkable symptoms men? tally photographed on my mind. "Tuesday morning when I arose I had been to see the little patient in a dream ; had discovered the trouble and conceived a simple treatment for its cure, which I had administered with entire success. Upon calling at Mrs. Lockwood'8, the child's mother, this morning, I stepped to the corner of the room in which the cradle stood, and raising the infant's foot observed the little rosc-colored spot, I had seen in my dream. In an instant, almost before I knew what I was doing, I drew a slender pointed lance from my pocket and quickly punctured the spot when out came a needle three-fourths of an inch long head first." ? Tbe grave of Nancy Hanks Lincoln, the mother of President" iincoln, at Rnck port, Indiana, waBdecorated on July 4 by women of Perry, Spenoer and Warwick counties. It is enclosed by an iron fence, and is marked by a simple, plain head? stone on which is inscribed: "Nancy Hanks Lincoln, Mother of the Martyred President. Died November 5, ISIS, cgod 35 years." The Terrier and the Indestructible Rat. A rat, a terrier, and a small boy caused thousands of people to congre? gate in "West Madison street about!) o'clock last night, and it was not a real rat, either. The rat, which was a most natural-looking rubber affair, was connected with a long thin pipe and bulb. Every time the boy squeezed the bulb the rat would leap forward in a most lifelike manner and the ladies in the street would shriek with terror and gather up their skirts. This delighted the crowd, which surged down on the boy and the rat from every direction. The fun was kept up for an hour or more, even the policeman on the beat stopping now and then for a good laugh. Suddenly, however, a sleek looking rat terrier sprang through the crowd and made for his mortal enemy. Down he pounced. The boy gave the bulb a jab and the rat leaped about six feet. Again the dog made a spring. This time he caught the rat in his teeth and the pressure caused it to give out a most life-like squeak, which delighted the dog and audience alike. By this time the street was packed. Time after time the dog would shake the rat and put it down, only to see it leap again, to the wild delight of the crowd. For the first half hour it was mere play to the plucky little ter? rier, but after a while things began to grow monotonous. The dog lay down for a rest and the rat jumped over him. This waf* too much for canine flesh and blood to stand; he leaped up again and now the contest kept up until the dog fell to the pavement from sheer exhaustion. Panting and with eyes protruding, he made a few more inef? fectual snaps at the rubber rat, then turned over on his side and laid his head on the pavement. His owner worked his way through the crowd, picked up his pet in his arms, uttered a few remarks, and offered to lick the man who had killed his dog. The crowd jeered and dispersed, while the small boy strolled down the street in search of another ambitious rat terrieri ? Chicago Daily News. The Tnlpit as a B?former. If the pulpit is not a reformer, or a reforming influence, it had better be abolished. As a matter of fuct the pulpit is a very powerful, yesj and tho most powerful reformer in all modern countries, not excepting Bussia. The ten commandments and the sermon on the mount are the professed code of morals in our day, and the pulpit, whatever else besides finds utterance there, dare not shrink from admitting and often expounding this code. Tho pulpit prepares the way for legislation by appealing to individual conscicnf ccs. Legislation is never of any avail if it go beyond the concience of the community it professes to control. It must have a moral warrant in the minds of the people to be in any sense effective. People, especially in Amer? ica, will not keep a law unless they think it good and just. Many laws are br?keti htit because they fail in goodness and justice, but because their goodness and justice make no appeal to the consciences of the law-breakers. Now here comes in the work of the pulpit. The Christian preacher has to waken the popular conscience when? ever it happens to slumber. It is the work of those who succeed St. Peter and St. Paul to speak until the people are pricked in their hearts, or until Felix trembles. It does not, how? ever, follow that a preacher is to be "judge or a divider," much less a policeman. He may thunder against Ananias and Sapphira and point out tho bearing of the eighth command? ment upon the transactions of the hour.?The Churchvlan. ?

Ia a letter to tho London Times Bishup Tugwell, of Western Equatorial Africa, saj s that tbe natives are killing themselves with drinks furnished to thorn by tbe Christian merchants of Europe in return for tbe native commodities. On tbe way to a cc rtaiu town he was told that the whole town was drunk, and he found it tobe the case. "L?gions of bottles," be says, "met my eyes on all sides ; ware bouses of prodigious size filled with in? toxicating drinks ; canoes heavily laden with demijohns of rum ; the green boxes in which the gin is packed are here, there and everywhere." Can Bishop Tugwell be ignorant of the extensive shipments of Medford rum from Boston to Africa? ? The Mexican Indians, as well as those of most of the Central American Republics, have a.superstition to the effect that tbe negro was mario before either the white man or the Indian, or even before the sun was created. They account for his color by declaring that he was made and dried in tho dark. Their own race, tbey say, was made in the morning of the first day, bet w sen daylight and sunup. On this account they delight In a term which they apply to each other and which sig? nifies "dawn people." The white man, "who fears darkness and cannot stand beat," was made, according to their belief, fit noon, on tbe tirat day of creation. READ!.READ !.READ!! Mammoth Stock, Big Bargains, Fair Dealing!

To the Editor of The Newa and Courier: In the North American Review for 1S2?5 there appeared an article on "Materials for American History," in which there is considerable information about the early history of the country. Among other things it has the interesting 'statement that South Carolina had the first Consti? tution. The article says: "It may not be out of place here to correct a prevalent error respecting the first written Constitution in this country. It has been generally supposed that the Constitution of Virginia was the first, and in Mr. Jefferson's letter to Major Cart wright, lately published in the biographi? cal memoir of that veteran friend of lib? erty, he writes, Virginia was not only the first of the States, but I believe I may say the first of the nations of the earth which assembled Its wise men peaceably together to iorm a Constitution, to commit it to writing and place it among their archives, where everyone should be free to appeal to its text.'in this paragraph there id a mistake in respect to its'maiu point, as will bo perceived by referring to dates. The Convention which formed the Constitution of Virginia assembled on the Gth of May und continued by ad? journment till the f>tb ol July, 177G. But the Constitution of South Carolina was adopted on the 2'Uh of March precoding, more than two months before that of Vir? ginia, at what was called tbe second ses? sion of the 2d Provincial Congress, which assembled at Charleston on the 1st of February. "The president of this Congress was William Henry Dray ton. On the 11th of February a committee was appointed to prepare ? plan or form of government, as had been recommended by the Continen? tal Congress in the preceding November. Of this comtnit;ee Charles Coteewcrth Pinckney Was chairman, as would appear from the Journal A Constitution was reported a few days afterward, which was discussed and amended from time to time, till it was liualiy adopted on the day above mentioned. The Constitution itself may bo seon in the .Journal of the second Provincial Con? gress of South Carolina, printed immedi? ately after the session. The same day on which this Constitution was adopted, that is, March 2(5, 177??, the ofiicors of the new GovernmeLt were elected. "John Rutledge was chosed President, or Governor, and Henry Laurens, Vice President. From these "tacts it is evident that the Constitution of South Carolina was promulgated before that of Virginia and, as far as we know, it was the first written Constitution in America." A K. ? "If I was running hell, and bad the Courier Journal, Times and Post mana? gers, editors and reportera sent to me, I would turn the other inmates loose, lest they be contaminated." These remarks are attributed Bo Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky, in a recent interview. A tow years ago wbon the same papers were landing Blackburn to the skies he Invoked blessings upon them, and invited them to a reserved seat in the abode of the right? eous. ? They toll a story, said to bo a true one, of a farm handln Ellington years ago, who was so mashed by the rosy cheeks and bright eyes of a school ma'am boarding with bis employer, r.hat he one day remarked with a sigh to the latter: "I would give a dollar to kiss her." "All right I" said the complaisant employer, "you may." When settling time came the man found his cash $i short. "Why did you take out that dollar?" was csked. "Oh! that was for kissing the school ma'am," was replied. ' But'I didn't kisa her," protested the man. "Well, if you didn't it was your own fault. I gave you leave." ? The recent examples of f-tlso nwear ing in the Courts of New York have brought out from the Hebrew Journal some remarks upon tbe subject: "It is cause for wohdor when we see the stress laid upon the sanctity of an oath by Jew? ish law, that tbere should be even the comparatively small number of our people who consider an oath of no particular force and effect, who are abashed neither by a Court of Justice nor by the presence of the Almighty, Invoked by their oath. It is certainly not a pleasant topic to touch upon, but it is not to be shirked for that reason. It is to be deplored that tbere sbould be any of our people who, in a judicial proceeding, are not bound by their conscience, and who do not hesitate to give sworn testimony that is false." Deputy U. S. Marshal, Columbus, Kan., says: "I was delivered of TWINS in less than 20 min? utes and with scarcely any pain after using only two bottles of "MOTHERS' FRIEND" DID NOT S'JFFER AFTERWARD.

SARAH A. BREAZEALE, Ex'x. ^ July 17,1895 3 3 The Alliance Meeting, The Cotton riant, the official organ of the State Alliance, has the following to sty about the postponement of the annual meetlDg of the State Alliance, o.deredby President Evans: "It will bo seen from the card of Presi? dent Evaus that the State Alliance will not convone on July 124, but only enough of the officers to furm a quorum, and take a recess until the fourth Wednesday, Au? gust 23. This is a wise step on the part of the president, a<< about July 21 each Al lianceruan who in iy desire to attend the sessions of the State Alliance, and at the eau.o time who might h*ve some interest in ttae primiry of dule^ates to the Consti? tutional Convention, could not well beat both. Besides tbo fact that some of our prominent brethren may b? candidates in the primary, the p pulur mind will be ab sorbod with Convention ideas. This plan, too, will give our York brethren full play, so far as the State Alliance is concerned, for thai, full and omplete success inter fered with by a coullicl in time of meeting ofthetvoas before this change. Let the delegates to the S'.ate Alliance govern themselves accordingly, and be in Cjlutn bia at 12 m , Wednesday, August 28, 1893 in the Senate chamber, State capitol build? ing. - mm. .M - ?
