LOST HIS LIFE IN THE SURF. Young Augustan Drowned on Sulli vans Island Trying to Rescue a Young Lady. * * News and Conrier, 10th. In an effort to save the life of Miss Bessie Boyle, of this city, Mr. Fulton Kelsey, of Augusta, Ga.. lost his life in the surf at ;ullivan's Island yes terday. The tragedy oeeurred at bout 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and most unusual circumstance was that o one was aware of the fact that Mr. elsey- had been drowned until Miss yle, regaining consciousness after r rescue, asked where Mr. Kelsey s. Miss Boyle, who was in the surf th Mr. Kelsey, narrowly escaped owning herself, and when rescued. s practically unconscious. Her ac nnt of the tragedy was therefore ery disconnected. It Appears that Mr. Kelsey and Miss Boyle were in bathing togeth.er, and some little dis tance from any other bathers. It was an unusually strong ebb tide and a high east wind was blowing. The first intimation that any one had that te bathers were in distress was the ight of Miss Boyle's outstretched rms projecting from the water. Mr. avid Huguenin, of this city. happen to be fishing in the surf nearby, d seeing Miss Boyle's arms in the ition they were, realized the grav ty of the situation and immediately went to -her rescue. The water was only waist deep where Miss Boyle was found, and Mr. Huguenin hadlittle diffieulty in reach ing her and bringing her to the shore. Miss Boyle's condition was quite ser ious when Mr. Hugenin reached her, her face being already discolored and there were other indication of strang ulation. After reaching the shore Miss Boyle regained consciousness, and al though in a state of collapse, cried, "Where is Mr. Kelsey? Where is Mr. Kelsev ?" It was not known until then that Mr. Kelsev was in the surf, and ef forts were immediately made to locatei him, but the body had already gone aown and no trace of it was discov ered. SENSITIVE MR. SAGLOW. A Citizen of Strvil Centre Who Could Not Bear~ to See Pain New York Sun. "I think the most sensitive man I ever knew,'' said Colonel Calliper, "was an old friend of mine named 'jonathan Saglow, who lived at one time in Storkville Centre, Vt. He couldn't bear to see pain inflicted on an or beast, and :.y sort of cruelty led him with great indignation. "On Mr. Saglow 's place t:here was a little bit of swamp land which he had never drained and which fur nished a breeding place for what I suppose were the greatest and fierest mosquitoes that ever grew, but Saglow had no screens on his porch or windows. He did have some once on his pordh but he took them down the next day after he put them "People hesitated to call on the Saglows in summer on account of those mosquitoes. There were mosqui toes sure enough, elsewhere in Stork 'ille Centre than around where they ived, but none quite so big and fe oous as those that grew in Sag ss swamp. "Then one day, to Storkville Cen tre's great astonishment, Mr. Saglow was seen putting up sereens around ais front porch, the next day, to its still greater astonishment, he was seen taking them down, and Mr. Sag low wasn 't a man that everybody ould run up to to ask the whys and wherefores of anything he'd done, but one day in a friendly mood he told me why he had taken down t-he screens the very day after he had put tihem up. "He admitted freely that one night they had had on the porch with the screens up had been most comn fo'table for them all: that to sit there and not be bored into by those .iiant mnosquitoes had been an exper enee that t:hey had all greatly en .yed; but what he saw in the morn awhen he e:une to look the sQcens ever by daylight prompted him to take them down immediately. "Sticking through these screens, all over, all around, everywhere, he aw mosuitoes' broken off beaks ;ou can judge what sized beaks they were wihen I tell you that those creens were not very fine meshed ig beaks which mosquitoes had hrust through the netting in their forts to get at the people inside, nd which had become wedged there nd been broken off when the mos itoes had tried to pull them out. w manyV millions of mosqu'iroes d beaten up against those scen ud how many had stuck their beaks ruh and still been ab!e to get n u aa nobody could know. bui ncre were inet y-four broken off beaks still sticking through the meshes of the netting! "Now most people, you k~now, would have found 'a sort of savage joy in the contemplation of those broken off spears and in the thought that so many giant pests had thus been made inocuous; but not so with Jonathan Saglow. "When he saw those ninety-four broken off beaks the first thought that. came to him was of the poor wounded and maimed mosquitoes wandering beakless around the world deprived of their only means of sus tenance; and straiglitway he tore down the screens so that others might not by them be made likewise to suf. fer; for not even upon the sufferings of mosquitoes could he dwell with serenity, this most sensitive man I ever knew." "The Peanut Industry." Washington Post. "Peanuts" is the modest title of a little monograph issued by the de partment of agriculture, from which we learn that the origin of this dis tingushed American vegetable is hrouded in mystery. To the widely known titles of "goober," "ground nut,"' and "pindar" has been added the classical appellation of Archis hypogea, but none of these go far toward lifting 'the veil, though pos sibly they do prove that man is not only differentiated from other ani mals by his clothes-wearing propen sities, but by his fondness for new and strange names. The peanut may, from several in dications pointed out, owe its ori gin to tropical America. That does not, -however, prevent it from being a mighty good friend and worth cul tivating in those States whose soils are suited to its peculiarities. It isiA home-loving tuber, and takes its characteristics so clearly from the soil in which it is grown that the goober produced in one State can never be mistaken for the pindar raised in another. It is further claim ed that the particular name used has so left its impress on the denizens of the peanut country that the "-ooberite" or the "pindarite" discloses the exact section from which he hails. Such a phenomenon smacks of deep underlying signifi cances, and recalls the portent of the pronunciation of the word "shib boleth'' as a tribal test .at the pas sages of the Jordan in the days of Israel 's judges. One may be surprised tihat the value of the peanut crop for 1908 was about .$12,000,000, but its culti vation is a serious pursuit in the Carolinas, Virginia, Tennessee and Georgia, while the possibilities of the sucessful culture, according to nice l shaded areas on a published map, extend from the New Jersey coast over a vast stretch of country south ward and westward and thence northvard along the coast of Cali fornia, with a favored bit of isolat ed country around Salt Lake City. Conditions of soil and climate best suited to the peanut are a ricih, sandy loam, .a long-growing season, moderate rainfall, abundant sun ine, and high temperature. In these respects the peanut makes claims to an aristocratic environ muent, such as is required for the production of the best wines. Will Waterproof, in his lyrical mono logue, called for the juice of the grape grown fat on Lusitanian sum mers. and the plump head waiter of the Cock gravely confirmed his judg ment ; just such mellowing seasonal conditions are required for t;he pea nut without which it will be lacking in that full unctuous quality for which it is deservedly famed. Among the various kinds of pea nuts, the Jumbo, Virginia Bunch, Tennessee Red and Dixie Giant call for special mention, if for no other reason than the happy choice of terms. Past expeiience with the cir cus and fruit-stand methods of dis tribution leads to the belief that these are frequently found combined in the same small paper bag with the twisted corners. but the inequalities i size and flavor isrve only to incite the purchaser to renewed feats of mastication. The United States i- a heavy buy e*r of peanut oil from abroad, despite the fact that thousands of acres of waste lands in the Southern States are available for the production of a crop that would furnish enoug.h pea nuts to keep the cottonseed oil mills running and furnish more than enough oil for home consumption. Here is an opportunity for the de velopment of a valuable industry to a degree that is. perhaps, hardly ap preciated in this country.
