OFF FOR THE POLE.
i
COMMANDER PERRY SAILS FROM
NEW YORK.
Ks
Famous Explorer Feels Confident
That He Will Go Father Than Any
Previous Attempt.
With the Perry Arctic club's pennant
fluttering from her main tiuck
and the Stars and Stripes at her mizzen.
the Arctic exploration steamer
Roosevelt left her pier at New York
Monday carrying Commander Robert
E. Peary, who Is to head another expedition
in quest of the North Pole.
The Roosevelt, accompanied by a
government tug, proceeded to neat*
City Island, where she nnchnrofi
the night to permit the adjustment
of her compasses. Tuesday she will
go to Oyster Bay, where President
Roosevelt will board her to bid goodbye
to her commander and crew. The
Roosevelt will then head for Sydney,
Cape Breton, where she will stop to
coal.
Before tho ship left Commander
Peary said:
"I have done too much work in
the Arctic regions to believe that 1
can mako the pole without strenuous
work. I am not foolish enough to
say that I am going to do or die. but
I am certainly going to put into this
trip every bit of energy?mental,
moral and physical?that I have in
order to succeed in my undertaking.
* I know my path will be hedged in by
many trials and undoubtedly many
disappointments but I feel confident
as iny ship leaves New York today
that if I do not reach the polo itself,
at least I will carry the American
flag farther north than it has been
carried by any previous explorer.
Unless unforeseen circumstances' intervene
within the next year, I hope
to plunt the Stars and Stripes at the
pole."
As tho Roosevelt swung out into
the East river, a few minutes after
1 o'clock a crowd on the pier cheered
good-bye, while thewhistles of river
craft joined In the farewell.
On board tli Roosevelt, besides
Commander Peary, Mrs. Peary and
their children, Marie and Robert E.
Jr., were a number of members ol
the Peary Arctic club, including its
president, Thomas D. Hubbard: its
vice president, Zenas Crane, and its
secretary, Herbert L. Brldgman;

expedition of 1897-99, was one ol
a party of ladles on board.
The crew was kept bnsy up to the
hour of departure, stowing away
stores in the hold, including large
quantities of books and magazines
and a billard table. Just before leaving
21 Bibles were received aboard,
the gift of the New York Bible society.
The Daughters of the Revolution
presented to Commander Peary
a peace flag with the request that
carry it wi'h him to the pole "as
a shield and buckler ugainst all disaster."
OIL FIKLDS BURNING.
The Blaze Is Visible For One Hundred
Miles At Sea.
The Immense Mexican oil fields
between Tampico and Tuxpan are
burning. The Are is visible 100
miles away on the Gulf. The light
is intermittent nnd therefore dangerous
to prisoners.
A dispatch to this effect was received
at the state department Tuesday
morning from United States Consul
General Emerill Griffith, at Tampico.
No further details of the fire are
known there and the cause cannot
be ascertained. It is believed that
the entire fields, probably the largest
in the world, are on fire and will be
burned dry. It will entail a loss of
millions upon millions of gallons of
oil.
PITT POISON IN COFFEE.
Woman Charged With Trying to Kill
Husband and Two Sons.
Mrs. Alexander T. Clnrk, wife of
n well known farmer, residing near
Ingrams, Danville county Va., was
held for the grand jury at n preliminary
hearing Thursday at Chatham.
on n charge of thrice attempting
to poison her husband and her
two grown stepsons by placing Paris
green in their coffee. It was only
after the third attempt that the
cause of sudden Illness of the three
men was discovered. A physician,
who analyzed the coffee, found thai
it contained poison. The only reason
assigned for the deed is the unpleasant
relations with her husband.*

DUST GEHMH
????
Tuberculosis Is Transmitted Through
Menus riying in the Dust.
One germ found in dust needs especial
mention. Tuberculosis,
which may be classed among the
dust diseases ravages our country
beyond all other tubercule bacilli.
Every time the consumptive sends
forth sputum where it can mix with
the dust of streets or room he sends
forth hundreds and thousands of living
tubercle bacilli. Once mixed
with that dust, deposited on sand or
other cutting particle, the poisoned
weapon flies upward ready to cut
through and enter the body through
the lesion formed in the lungs. In
case after case we find In the lungs
of perfectly healthy persons small
tubercular leslonB which have healed,
showing that they were able to
combat the poison when attacked.
But how about the time of low resistance?
How can the citizen tell
when that time may come to him
or to his family? The magnificent
crusade against tuberculosis is doing
much to convince the individual of
the necessity of care against contagion.
The municipality can do almost
as much towards the stamping
out of the plague by a steady constant
struggle to achieve the cleanest
possible street.
In the dirt of the assembly hall,
of the theatre, of the hotel and the
i railway car we find conditions in
which the difflculties which exist in
the private house are fourfold multli
plied. For hours the crowds of peo-?
pie in such places sit breathing the
accumulated dust brought from the
streets which, rising from the floor,
floats In clouds into the air and settles
heavily on the antiquated plush
still in high favor for such places.
. It is but a year or two ago that the
newspapers considered briefly the
dangers of that bacterial par ad ike,
the Pullman sleeping car. A brief
spasm of remonstrance passed over
. the country and disappeared as sud,
denly as it came. The peril from
, such sources was. however, recognized
two decades ago by more than
, one, and a quotation concerning the
nreRenro nf tnlwir?>iil,\olu --1 ? 1
; os from Dr. Mitchell Prudden writ
ton almost two decades ago, holds as
true today.
"Sleeping cars and the staterooms
I of steamships and hotel bedrooms
are almost always liable to contain
f infectious material, if they have
i been recently used by uncleanly
i consumptives or those ignorant of
t the danger of their expectoration.
When the infectious nature of con1
sumption becomes generally appre
elated, hotels and transportation
> companies over long routes will be
i compelled to provide special accom.
odations for such persons as are
' known to be thus affected."?IIollls

WAITS A YEAR FOR FORTUNE.
i French Soldier Losses His Winning
Lottery Ticket.
A private soldier named Claret, oi
Paris, some weeks ago bought a
mckei of four lottery ticket;, known
' as a autprise, for half a crow v.*. lie
noted the numbers of his tickets and
then lost the envelope in which he
hud placed them.
Fortunately he had written his
name 011 the envelope, which was
found and returr-od to him in bar
racks. Hut one of the tickets was
missing, and that ticket won $100,000.
Claret wrote to the lottery man
ugemeai una ine ticket has been
stopped. ' He will now have to wait
a year and a day before he will enter
into possession of his fortune.
As to Hot Weather.
The torrid wave now sweeplug over
the North is playing the mischief.
Many have been prostrated by the
excessive heat and not a few have
died. That section of the country is
to be cotnmisserated.
Here in the South it has so far
been pleasant. We have had one or
two warm days, but nobody has been
made sick. The nights, without exception.
are cool. When we read how
people in the tenement district of
New Yoik city have to crawl on the
'ire escapes M night to get a b cu.h
of air and i?ercf:icc a little
running the risk of fallng off to the
pavement below, we begin to .realize
that we know very little about
hot weather. One of the most d:sagreeable
summers we ever spent
was in n Northern city. We longed
for the cool nights and breezes of
the South.
Take it venr in and year out, and
all the year round we have about
the finest climmate to he found anywhere
in the world. The winters are
mild and th summers are generally
far pleasanter than In latitudes farther
North. What a charming spring
was the on? of this year, and what a
glorious winter wo had! And although
the summer is more than
half over, few feel the need of going
to the mountains or to ?h<>
shore. Those who have gone did so.
not because a change of climate was
necessary, but simply because it is
their custom to go somewhere for :t
vneaton. The rest of us who staid at
home have been about as comfortaoie
as we would nave t>eei< had we
gone to the mountains.
One has got to travel about a
good bit before he appreciates the 1
really magniiieient climate of the 1
South. We who have lived here all 1
our lives don't value it as we ought.
When it gets a little warm we iina- <
glne that if we could get up North <
we should find it cooler. Perhaps; I
though the chances are that we I
should find it not near so cool, liar s
Harbor, Nahnnt, Castine Littleton,
Narraganzet Pier, Shelter Island and t
other places of resort during the 1
summer season can be as hot as the l
hottest places one ever saw. I
Yes, we are upon the whole pretty
well satisfied with the South and its
climate in spring, summer, autumn,
and winter. We know one may go ]
much farther into higher latitudes I
and fare a great deal worso.?Co- i

without an open book, without

years Mine, de Provlngy wore white
satin. She wore It on her wedding
day and always dressed in white to
the end. ?
Fifty years ago Mme. de Provlngy
died. They had been married in the
morning, and the young husband
died of applexy an hour after the
ceremony. When she recovered from
the shock, if. need, she can be said
ever to have recovered from it. Mme.
do Provlgny had the house shut up,
hut she retained J-er servants on condition
that they were never to confront
her with a living being and
never to speak to her again. She did
not know the trend of public events.
Motor cars were unknown to her.
She did not know whether France
was a republic. She had never
heard of the Dreyfus case, of the
death of Queen Victoria, or any national
or international event. In her
will M?*e. de Provlgny left lie*
whole fortune to men and women aged
over sixty years of good character.
She left a large house in the
country as a home for them and $2,000,000
for its support.
Proposed Forestry Law*.
If the legislature of Loulsianua
passes the forestry law proposed by
Governor Dlanchard of that State,
and said to have the support of the
largest timber owners, it will be the
most advanced step yet taken by any
slate to regulate timber cutting on
1 .'irate lands. By the terms of the
proposed statute, the cutting of
trees under twelve inches in diameter,
four feet from the ground, will
not be permitted. The law does not
apply to those, who, in good faith
wish to clear the land for agricultural
purposes, or need the timber on
the grounds for roads or ditches, or
in case of an owner or tennant who
uses the wood for domestic purposes.
The lumberman will be required
to fell his trees in a way to causa
least damage to young timber, and
the refuse must not be left where
its presence will invite fire or otherwise
endanger the small trees. The
penalty provided for violations of the
proposed law is a fine of $2.r? to J100
for each offense, and imprisonment
may be added. Each tree wrongfully
cut will constitute a seperata
offense. The proposed law not only
delimits offenses and names penalties,
but also sets forth the rea^bns
why such a law is thought advisable.
T'mber is becoming scarce, it save
and ought not be needlessly wasted.
Forest destructon will carry with it
other evils besides dearth of wood.
It will cause destruction, soil erosion
and increase floods and droughts, to
the damage of the whole people.
The forests ought not to bbe wholly
cut down, the proposed law further
says, because they assist in obstructing
disastrous tornadoes.
The Supreme Court of Maine recently
ruled that that state may lawfully
restrict il ? clearing of private y
owned forest land, if the public
would be injured by such clearing.
Louisianna's proposed law goes still
further in the same direction and
follows the lines of the opinion rendered
by the Main Supreme Court.
It is worthy of note that the twe
states which are first to take this advanced
stand in forests protection
are fifteen hundred miles apart and
have forests not at all alike in character,
different noils, climates with
few points in common, crops of wholly
d.fferent kinds, geography -and
topography of opposite extremes yet
each realizes the immense importance
of its forsts and how essential
their protection is to the continued
prosperity of its people.
A ('ecular Well in Florida.
In their investigation of the wells
and underground waters of Florida ,
the geologists of the United States |
Geological Survey have noticed many <
interesting things. Among these is
a well at Welnka, on the St. John's
River, from which two kinds of wa'.er
are obtained.
This well is ."09 f-f fc deep The '
length of thecasing is 110 feet The 1
well was first drilled 160 feet, and '
from this depth ordinary "sulphur"
water was obtained. The well was
then carriedd to a depth of 309 feet,
wh'.'i it encountuied a strong miner- \
al wiiii!. having a disagreeable so -.v 1
taste. In order to use both knds of 1
water ail inner tuhiner wna run neur.
ly to the t>ottom of the well. Both
this and the outer casing were connected
with pumps, so that ordinary i
water and mineral water can he c
pumped at the same time. A favorite (
jl:oe played on visitors is to give
them a drink of the weaker water in
the first glass and to replace it with
th-? brine in the second. t
Not more than half a dozen wells f
?f this kind are known in the conn- a
try, but there is no reason why similar
wells can not be obtained in regions
where the waters in the upper
strata differ from those lying deeper.
In these investigations of the wa- (
tors of Florida the National and
State surveys are cooperating, and f

Newspaper Folk.
The hundred i-cwspaper men and

of that which is best and
noblest in South Carolina. The
i gathering is thoroughly representative.
Not all the newspaper
workers in the State are here and the
pity is that more are not here to
join in the pleasures that have been
provided; to talk shop and enjoy a
brief and needed rest.
No people on earth deserve a
chance to get away from the "everlasting
grind" than do these men
and women who day after day toll
to provide the news.
Dr. Dodge said that he thanked
God that there was not a single yellow
journal in South Carolina; this
was simply saying that there is not
a dishonorable or unclean newspaper
published in all Caroliua. It may
be more renumerative to publish a
"sensational sheet" but that is not
the sort of Innmnllcni ?V.ot I" ~

will never he.
Newspapers workers deserve appreciation
and they are receiving It
more and more every day. It Is
largely because people are better infoimed
because they read more and
because they see results of coiftervative
and well directed journalism.
Th rewards of the real newspaper
man are not what they should

I,jigging Itipdness.
The boast of the Republicans that
their policies have carried the country
safely through the panic, and
that business is rapidly reviving,
does not seem to agree with the
facts. For instance, the United
States Cast Iron Pipe Foundry Company,
known as the Pipe Trust,
has just made its report which
shows very disappointing results.
The President of the company says
in his report:
"During November. 11)07, business
absolutely stopped; the company did
not lose its business. There was no
business.
"When there was added to this
natural condition the depression
which was caused by the panic, the
result was a stagnation such as has
never been known in the history of
the cast iron pipe business in this
country. Not only was there a cessation
of hlisippu and n cliorn foil
VMJ MIIU U Cliot |/ xan
in prices in November, but there
was a declining market all through
the winter and early Spring
months."
But the report tries to encourage
the stockholders, although no divi
dend is declared even on preferred
stock, by baying "that with the op
ening of Spring business has im
proved." It need hardly he said
that but very small orders would be
an improvement over the entire
cessation of business reported.
The other branches of the steel
and iron business, although not
making quite as disastrous a showing
are nearly in the same fix. Yet
the Republican platform boasts that
Kepoblican policies have protected
the business of the country.
Aspect of the Yellow Peril.
The danger of any union between
China and Japan, for aggressive
purpose, does not loom as large as
it, undoubtedly, did three or four
years ago. Indeed. !>etween China
and Japan, there are evidences of
strained relations, consequent to
Japan's hold on to Manchuria, which
it almost looks as if she is ready to
divide with Russia. The island empire
has also lost, rather than gain
cd by her forceful attitude in her
recent collision with China, over tht
seizure of arms, imported from Ja
pan, presumably for the use of rebels
in China. And it may be that
the passage of the fleet of the United
States into Pacific waters had a
deeper meaning than that which has
been heretofore attached to it.
Without control of the sea, Japan's
fine army would find it most
difficult to make any serious impression
on the great celestial empire,
and while it would crumple up the
army of China, should the ilatter
kingdom accept the gauge of battle
and contend for mastery in the
plains of Manchuria, the destruction
of Japan's fleet would lead to
the inevitable discomfitnre of Japan's
army in time. Possibly it is
the appearance of the fleet of the
United States on the Pacific coast,
which has enabled the astute Japanize
to realize the possibities which j
migni ensue irom any undue pressure
exerted on China.
It is extremely doubtful that Japan
could count on British support,
if aggressions against China brought
remonstrances fr< m the Uritd
States; for it ihai m. i? ndered
them, there would be the extreme
Vk> fl s *
probability that intervention upo.?
the part of Germany would follow
and then there would ensue a struggle,
in which the Napoleonic wars
would grow small and pale their
fires, in contrast with the titanic
contest thus aroused. British diplomacy
would not permit any such
terrific risk, to involve the empire,
to save the amour prope of Japan
and a settlement would be effected
in some manner. Perhaps, the
thorough understanding of this is
the explanation of the recent conciliatory
attitude of the attitude ol
the island empire towards the
United States.
Bryan's Strength.
According to our view, Bryan's
phenomenal strength in the Democratic
convention, now admitted b>
his opponents as overwhelming, has
been due to a great popular demand
for him on the part of the rank and
file of the Democracy; but this view
is questioned by persons as entitled
to their opinion as we are, and possibly
as well informed upon matters
pertaining to politics. Many ol
these claim Bryan worked for thi
nomination and the result is due tc
persistant effort upon his part. 11
it is, he is one of the greatest polit
ical leaders this country lias evei
produced: for. in the face of tht
protests of the greatest papers ol
his own party, and the persistent efforts
of its brainest leaders anc
cleverest politicians, he has swepl
everything before him. If he car

j Think of the Horse.
Pti'hng the warm days, while vou
1 kcei v feel the discomfort of the
. heat 'ourself; do you think of the
s hor. ? You are careful to make the
1 host ?.f every opportunity and cir2
cumst; nee to make the condition of
1 the temperature more endurable;
1 do y< u do the same for the horse?
t If y? : drive out you go as lightly
- ar.d 1 osely clad as possible; do you
sho c the same human consideration
- for ! e horse? You take a c< o'ing
" dn .k whenever there is opportunity,
: nd seek this opportunity if not
in t e regular course; do you think
? ofi horse? Much may be done by
a 1r o foresight and care to roll the
1 hot weather of its discomfort, for
' I beast as well as for man.
Tli horse is a noble animal, always
willing, if treated right, to
please his master. He is worthy of
all the consideration and care that
may he shown him. He sutlers
from heat as much as man, and
thoi h it may be necessary for the
hors n well as the master to take
" j the he at in the street or in the road
J soni; lines, this may be made end
uri by proper carc.
To lake a horse, load him with
1 heavy, chafing har ness cheek up his
head -o that he is compelled to hold
it stillly erect, and in this condition
drive 1 m through the sun unmind!
fill of Ms suffering, without perhaps
even ? iving him sufficient water to
drink, is monstrous cruelty. Wafer
is m iMi d^to prevent the blood rising
to an abnormal temperature and
' queues the thirst produced by this
condii; n, and this should be offered
at shor' intervalstoal.or.se that is
being oriven in such weather as we
are having now.?Augusta Herald.
