MR. SIMPSON ,
.A \' i =-i i t to the I I'oriey
Cou
YorkriUe
Th'.! little honey ln<- i.-, of ?nurse, a j
very common institution io York
county. Then- is scarcely a neighbor
hood in which there ar?; not a half j
doz . :i ur more colonies, and there are i
just !uts of people who know more or
less .ibmit how to manage them with
su ? e.*.*; hut most readers of the Kn- ?
. iuir<.r will no doubt bc surprised to j
know that York County has one of the
largest apiaries to be found in thc
Piedmont section. Such is thc fact, !
however. This apiary is located at j
CatawbaJuncti.it). I
Mr. II. C. Simpson, a well informed, |
well read gentleman, is thc proprietor.
Mr. Simpson's house fronts the Caro
lina and Georgia Kxtcnsion railroad,
and his beehives, which sit on the
southside of u hill to the rear, look
from the railroad like a big cemetery. I
tn fact, most passengers on thc trains :
take the apiary for a cemetery, and j
they do ?ot know any better unless j
some of the trainmen, or others who ?
know, inform them to the contrary. [
Having heard from different people, j
al different times, of the extent of
Mr. Simpson's establishment, and also
of his thorough knowledge of thc bec
and its habits, I went down to Cataw
ba .I unction last Saturday for thc pur
pose. of getting material for a story
that will probably l rove interesting to
a great many people. I had the good
luck to find Mr. Simpson at home, and
when I told him my business, he as- j
?*ure? me that it would give him pleas
ure to show me everything that was
to be seen and to answer such ques
tions asl might sec tit to ask, pro
vided he kuow how. This last pro
viso, however, was unnecessary. Be
fore I left, I was convinced that he
surely knowsabout all that is not torn
out of thc book, and that my principal
disadvantage was in not understand
ing the suhject sufficiently to admit
of its full development through proper
questions.
Taking his smoker-a little bellows
like arrangement, through which
smoke is projected with facility-Mr.
Simpson told mc to follow close be
hind him among the hives. He had
no gloves, veil or other protection,
and thc proposition was one that I did
not relish particularly; but 1 remem
bered to have heard Mr. \V. J. Waters
remark once that Mr. Simpson knew
the age of every bee on the hill and
could call it by name. I was inclined
to repose the fullest confidence in Mr.
Simpson. I am now almost inclined
to believe Mr. Waters' statement, but
I do not like to say so in print.
Opening up several hives, Mr. Simp
son showed thc honey that was in
process of manufacture. Ile explain
ed that the bees have not doue very
well this year, so far as surplus is con
cerned. Only a few combs have been
partially filled and only a very small
per cent of the honey cells have boen
capped over. This, Mr. Simpson says,
is on account of the unfavorable sea
son. After showing thc surplus hon
ey department of one of tho hives, he
went into the brood department, moved
and took out several frames covered
with worker bees and drones, and
finally located the queen. "I found
hera little too late," he. remarked.
"If I had surprised her sooner, she
would have laid several eggs on my
hand after I picked her up. It is her
business, you know, to lay the eggs;
she keeps at it continually, and that
was what she was doing when we
found her." Then holding up the
comb to tho light, where I could see
to the bottom of the cells, Mr. Simp
son showed mc newly deposited eggs,.
little worms representing a develop
ment of a day or two, and other young
bees in different stages up to eating
their way out of thc cells in which
they had come to maturity.
"Although all thc eggs in a hive
are laid by the same queen." Mr.
Simpson explained, "they may bc de
veloped cither into workers, drones or
queens. The drone matures io 24
days, the worker in 21 days and thc
queen in only 16 days. Thc bees can
make a queen themselves whenever
they want one. Suppose thc present
, 'lueen should die, for instance. The
bees would immediately go to work
and build a cone-shaped cap over one
of these cells in which you sec an
egg. Then, hy feeding her a different
kind of food-'royal jelly,' the bee
men call it-they will bring her to
maturity within 16 days. As to
whether they really give her a differ
ent kind of food I do not know. I
am inclined to think that they merely
give her the same kind that they feed
to others, only more of it."
While on the same subject, Mr.
Simpson Haid that thc wordcr bees
live from about three to six weeks in
summer time, and from three to six
mouths in the winter time. The aver
age life of a queen is from two to
three years, although sometimes they
-live fivo or six years. "In keeping
the purity of your stock," he said, "of
course, everything depends opon your
queen. - I won't have anything but

! the Italian bee :.' 1 ? >??. help it but I
I lind it very difficult t" keep them ah
I solutely pure. I bought my first
j queen ?ti Augu.-t, I .SSO, from Mr.
i Iirown, of Augusta, and paid hin
$2.50 for ber. After that, about foui
I years a?o, I imported a queen bec
j direct from Italy. She coat $0. and
was ll days coming over. She li vet
until about a year ago. and by mean;
of her. I have been enabled to main
tain my colonies at a high standard.'
Here Mr. Simpson called my alten
tion to a do/en or more bees that wen
posted on the platform at the entra?e*
of a hive, buzzing their wings with ?
humming noise. "These." bc ex
plained, ''are ca ?.'aged in ventilatini
the hive. Puring weather like this
there is a great deal of heat inside
If you should stop up the entrance to
10 minutes, the whole interior woul<
collapse a sticky mas? and kill th
entire colony. With their wings thes
bees are creating an outgoing curren
that serves to keepdown the tempera
ture. They work for about 1."? min
utes that way. when they, are relieve
by as many fresh bees from thc in
side. This is kept up all during th
hottest part ol' the day." I expresse
surprise at this remarkable piece c
sagacity, and Mr. Simpson went (tn t
relate another peculiarity of the 01
ganization that was no less interest
ing. "In seasons like this." he sait
"when not much honey is being uiad<
there is a disposition on the part <
the bees of one colony to KO out an
rob thc stores of another. I can sho
you at each hive guards that are e,
pocially placed for protection again:
robbers, and whenever a bec of anothi
colony attempts to enter where he hi
no right, I can show you a fight."
About that time au angry bee cou
menccd buzzing at my car. It w:
the first time that 1 had been moleste
in the least, and I began to fear th
maybe her business was to drr
away unwelcome newspaper men. M
Simpson sent a pull' or two of smol
at her; but she paid uo attention
that. [ was tempted to ask him
tell her to please go away; but, i
stead, he concluded, of his own a
cord, that the only thing to be do
for her was to knock her down, whl
he did. After that I felt more coi
fortable; but at the same time it c
curred to mo that I oould just as w<
get suoh further information as
wanted up nearer the house.
Mr. Simpson ezplained that the
are three honey-making seasons d',
ing thc year. Tho first is from abo
the middle of April up to tho 20th
May. During this season bees depo
upon fruit and flower blossoms, si
maple and poplar buds. They doi
usually begin to make any surpl
until May, and then the quality is 1
of the best. From thc 20th of M
until about the middle of July, thi
follows an idle season, during whi
not much surplus honey is mad<
practically none. The first good hot
of tho year is made during the mot
following thc middle of July. Ii
made almost entirely from cott
blooms, and is usually so transpan
that objects may be discerned th roi
a quart of it. The flavor is also
lighiful. But there arc some pc
liaritics about this cotton honey,
cording to Mr. Simpson's experien
The little brow bee cannot make h
cy from cotton at all. She is
strong enough to get into thc bloc
right. Only thc Italian bee is cq
to thc task, and except under cert
conditions, the cotton bloom hone,
out of her reach also. When seas
arc good and the cotton plants
vigorous, there is no honey to bo fc
When, however, the cotton is bi
ward and droopy, thc Italians hal
picnic. Thc next and most relis
honey-making season of the yea
during thc month of October. 1
honey of that season is made pri
pally of the aster or iron weed. 1
of a splendid quality.
I asked Mr. Simpson as to the a
age yield of honey to the colony,
he answered the question in a 1
satisfactory manner. "One year 1
au average of only 4 pounds. 1
year thc average was pounds,
other year I got 60 pounds; son
the colonies yielding over ??0 poi
each. I would say, however, that
general average, taking one year 1
another, is about 30 pounds to
colony.' Ho went on to say that
year he sold only $100 worth of ho
Year before last he sold 2.000 poi
for $224. and another year he
from his different colonies a tot
3,000 pounds. From the bes; i
mation at hand, l am inclined t<
opinion that this last yield is se
equaled by any other single h
producer in this State.
On this same linc. Mr. Sin
also related another interesting
dent. During one very fine hi
making season, he left a hivo o
scales and noted a production
pounds in 26 days. One day thc
j made ll pounds, and during the.
evaporated a pound and a half of water
or other undesirable material out of it.
Hut 1 .-hall not undertake to repeat
in thi.s article all that Mr. Simpson
told nie about bees. I was not with
him more thar? two hours, hut to re
peat it all would require more than a
[iago of the paper. I'll give one more
interesting point, however, which but
few people have probably thought
about. Though Mr. Simpson has -SO
colonies in all, he only has 50 at his
home. The others are at another
point several miles distaut. When I
asked him why this was, he explained
that the ordinary range of a bee is
about from a mile to a mile and a half,
and that 50 strong colonies are about
as many as can live and prosper in
this country within the radius indi
cated. If? certain other sections of
the country, say parts of California
for instance, as many as 200 or MOO
colonies could prosper in this radius.

The Deed of a Itero.
Amongst the heroes who were at the
reunion was Mr. John M. Nicholls, of
Spartanburg. Ile is thc soldier boy
who, at the age of l?> years, was tight
ing in a rifle pit atSpottsylvania. The
Vaukccs had charged up to thc Con
federate lines, driving in thc skirmish
linc, but hud been repulsed and had
retreated to their own entrenchments
on thc opposite side of a ravine. The
(iring was very active and thc sharp
shooters so alert that a hat lifted
above the Confederate breastworks
would be quickly riddled, But out
side John Nicholls heard a wounded
man whom the Yankees had left be
hind in their retreat, begging for wa
ter, and he made up his mind to ren
der help. His comrades tried to dis
suade him, arguing that the act would
bc suicidal, but Nicholls leaped over
the breastworks and crawled down a
corn row within reach of the wounded
enemy, who proved to bc an officer, a
distance of tweuty-fivc or thirty yards.
He then tied his canteen on a broken
pine limb, aud handing it to the Fed
eral told him to drink what he wanted
and pour some in his own canteen.
The grateful soldier thanked him and
said, "God will bless you for this,"
and commenced to tie his watch on the
stick, urging Nicholls to accept it.
This Nicholls declined, and crawling
back along thc corn row he made an
other jump back into tho rifle pit, fol
lowed by a shower of bullets. The
incident is the subject of a stirring
poem by J. J. Rooney.
Mr. Nicholls is now a farmer and a
man of family. His home is in Spar
tanburg. He did not marry until
about eight years ago. He is a modest
man and as tender as he is brave. Up
to the time of his marriage if any sick
man was to be nursed, or dead to re
ceive the last rites, John Nicholls was
sure to bc there. He keeps up the
practice of kindness still whenever
circumstances allow, and is more than
seconded in all friendly services by
his good wife.
Mr. Nicholls now regrets that he did
not take the watch, as thc Federal offi
cer was evidently fast bleeding to
death, and thc watch, which he said
his mother had given him, wouldhavo
been returned to her. She may have
never learned the fate of her son.
When asked what made him take such
a risk to carry water to the dying sol
dier, he said some words that his
mother had taught him kept sounding
in his heart: "I was thirsty and ye
gave me drink."--Spartanhurg Herald.

lt Is Wise Teaching.
In his baccalaureate sermon io the
students ot'tho Missouri Statt; Univer
sity, thc Hight Reverend Bishop At will
of Kansas City urged upon the young
collegians about to begin their real life
work in thc world the fact that money
getting is not the highest mission of a
scholar.
.Just at thc present stage of tho higher
development of mau it would be of vast
benefit to society could this truth, ex
tending beyond college-bred men and
embracing all men of forceful and am
bitious character, bc so deeply im
pressed upon thc national mind as to
leave its mark in the establishment of
thc truest ideals and in the direction
of thc wisest effort. The American
people arc in sore uecd of such teach
ing, inasmuch as the greatestevils now
menacing the country arise from the
greed for gold.
A sound belief in the public mind
that the safest and happiest social con
dition is that where the greatest num
ber of persons nre reasonably well-off
in this world's goods, and content with
their moderate competency, is impera
tive if the people of the United States
are to fittingly fulfill their destiny. A
popular government under which all
men may strive hopefully for financial
independence, where commercial and
industrial enterprises are numerous
and open to all, where business interests
are fostered and protected, not for the
aggrandizement of the few, but for the
benefit of the roany, should be logically
inevitable in this country if the princi
ples of its founders ate faithfully
maintained.
In the ominous growth of the trust
evil, a system enriching a limited num
ber of monopolies at thc cost of the
business mid industrial health of the
country at large, there is disquieting
proof of a tendency to repudiate those
Eriuciplcs under the stimulus of that
unger tor vast wealth which tends to
create the sure contrast of vast poverty.
American teachers may not bc more
wisely employed than in combating
this tendency. American young men
may not be more truly strengthened
than by the fostering of higher ideals
than those limited solely to the acquir
ing of riches.-St. Loma liepnblic.

Thc woman who mislays her hat and

who looks in'all sort of impossible places
for the cause of a disease. The heart be
gins to act irregularly and straightway
there's an exam
ination of the
heart to find what
is interfering with
it. The liver gives
trouble, and is
dosed with dmgs

light the cause,
and all thc time
the cause of the
trouble is in the
stomach.
i fi-. The intimate
connection of the
stomach with the
heart and the other
vital organs, nec
essarily results in
the sympathy of
these organs with
any derangement
or disease of the
stomach and the
organs of diges

m Thousands have been cured of palpita
tion, liver trouble, shortness of breath, pain
in the side, backache, and numerous other
complaints by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. This medicine acts
directly upon the stomach, the organs of
digestion and nutrition and the blood mak
ing glands, and the fact that it cures so
many forms of disease is the best proof that
these diseases originate in the stomach and
must be cured through the stomach.
