To Montgolfier of Annonay, France, the invention of the balloon is credited. It is said that he was led to turn his attention to balloon making from the following incident. A French laundress, wLshing to dry a petticoat quickly, placed it on a bask et work frame over a stove. To pre vent the heat from escaping by the opening at the top of the petticoat she drew athe belt strir.gs closely togethei and tied them. Gradually the garment dried and became lighter, and as the stove continued to give out heat an, rarefy the air concentrated under the basket work frame the petticoalt be gan to move and finally rose in the air. This so astonished the laundress that she ran to her neighbo'rs and ask ed them to come and witness the strange sight. Montgolfier was among those ethat came in. The petiticoat suspended in midair suggested great er things to him, and he returned Ihome with "something to think abont.'' He at once benar studying vorks on different kinds of atmos r here. and 'the invention of the bai' NEWBERRY POLICE SYSTEM. Movement of People There Noted b3 Officers. Newberry has a police system, al though the people of that burg do nol think much of the Columbia idea ol running a force. Some time ago a7 citi zen of that town was robbed of a board bill and the "jumper" was seen to board a train for Columbi.i. Thi suggestion that the Columbia polic force be called on to make the a rrst was received with indifference. The people in Newberry do nat think much of the system there. A -C1lumbi civilan was telephoned about the wai ter and he at once canht the stranger and collected the board bill. It is said that the Nenary chief of police requires the policeman on duty at the depot to secure, as far as posible, the name of every citizen getting on or off the train. He. of course, makes allowances for a grow ing town and believes that there are many not known to the officer but he does believe that every express ship ment of whiskey into Newberry should be noted. This Tequirement was called to the attention of a Columbia alderman yesterday and the alderman offered to wager that, with the exception 'of the officers on Main street, not a sin, gle patrolman had been instrueted' to get the names of all residents on his beat. Chairman Otis of the police commission said in his report, recom mending that patrolmen be continued on beats, that each man employed on the force was supposed to study the habits and life of every resident. Had that system been employea in Columbia three or four years ago the murderer of Maud Allen would not have escaped. The chief of.police of Newberry, it is noted, is a Columbian who has had some experience with crininals here. However, when a Columbia police officer was asked about the Newberry police force yesterday, he. replied, "Aw. gwan. Didn't they let that fel low Youngblood get right through their fihgers? I mean the fellow. that worked two banks here -n . bogus checks.' '-Columbia State.... - News From Excelsior. . Excelsior, August ,29-The sum: mer session of school will: 4ose Fri day. .

NOT A CANDIDATE. ut "Uncle Joe" Cannon Admits he Wouldn't Mind Being Pres ident. New York, Aug. 28.-Congressman oseph G. Cannon, of Illinois, who is e guest of Congressman Joseph C. ibley of Pennsylvania on a cruise irough the Thousand Islands on Mr. ibley's yacht, is quoted by the Alex ndria Bay correspondent of Tha [erald as saying in an interview, in aply to questions regarding his pos ble candidacy for the presidency: "iAm I a candidate for the Repub can nomination for president? No, I ave not the bee, personally. Would I 6eept the nomination? No citizen as ever declined it or ever will. I ould rather contribute to making the ext session of congress a success, so iat my party will deserve and win ccess in 1908, than have the presi ency tendered to me on a golden sal er. "Now, I want to make this point: f congress does not act wisely at the ext session; if it is not actuated by almness and patriotism; if it makes reat mistakes and fails to meet the' pproval of the reasoning American ublie, there will not be much need or the election of delegates to the ext national convention of the Re ublican party. "T-he great masses are not talking litics now," continued the speak-, r. "They are busy. Their ambition ; to see that nothing is done to iake them idle. This country is very rosperous. It would be a crime if ongress should do anything at this tine to upset business, and it might iake mistakes'"in half dozen ways." Unconscious of Fame! George Gi'ote, the famous author f the "History of Greece," long the tandard on that subject, was a man f great simplicity and was wholly' neonscious of his own celebrity. everal anecdotes, illustrative of this act are given in "-Somne Famous Wo ien of Wit and Beauty," one of rhorn is Mrs. Grote.. While Mr. Grote was walking in. de ark he would perhaps notice' that ne r two persons looked at him ith some attention. He would at nce turn to his.wife in alarm. "Have I got any dirt on my face, [arriet? Is there anything the mat-' er with my lat?" and he would utch his , headgear with both ands. "Why are those people looking at Mrs. Girote 's proud answer was, Because you are George Grote, ~at's all." Once when he was on a visit to abridge, Grote wished to see the rofessor of natural history, but was >ld that the professor was so busy issecting something that he could ot be interrupted, "strong magnify ig power, powerful light, shirt sleev 3 up, cannot be bothered with any ody.'' The modest historian would ave retired, but his wife persisted at it was Mr. Grote who wished to se the professor. "What?" he .cried. "Mr. Grote? hive me my coat. I must wash my ands." In a minute he had trans armed himself and would not let em go for two hours. FOR BALE. 700 acres good farming -land in 3 raets within five miles of Union 'ourt House. Good timber.'
