Many persons have discussed the poflbility of the destruction of the eaith in a collision with some comet ?for instance some body ime the Daniels comet. It was visible most of last summer. As a matter.of fact the physical contact?the blow from a comet? wo'dd not itself destroy the earth.

The diffusion of the heavy noxious gases would so vitate the atmosphere as to reader It unfit for breathing. The result Is evident. Thus might the ocaslon and human habitations escape unharmed, not even a man be killed by the comet coming In contact with the earth, yet with the deadly gases drifting over the surface of the earth, enveloping the whole world, all breathing creatures would soon he sufTocated. silenced in death by the Choking bane of hydrocarbon gas combinations flowing Joutward and downward about the earth from pole to equator, from east to west, ever sinking closer to enrth and waters, a vast black death flood, strangling and stifling all life.

Distinguished Geologist and Mineralogist Shows How a Second Flood Might End All. Two great forces affecting the surface of the continents are denudation and earth movements, either secular. upheaval, earth folding, or volcanic, outpouring. All our positive knowledge is that the earth is cooling. . As It cools, the crust hardens and thickens, and it may bo that, when the. cruet becomes thick ! enough to prm'ont further cracking and mountains folding, and water no longer percolato through to the 1 heated interior, there will be no upheaval. no folding of the earth's stir- 1 face to counteract the denudation constantly going on over the surtace. ! v To produce an upheaval there must be heat and water. And if water cannot sink through the earth's crust to reach the interior of the 1 earth, then this volenulc action wil! f not take place. f This helnK so, the land surface of 1 the earth will gradually wear away, s and be smoothed down, until It Is c a more or less flat plain on a level 8 with the sea. The sea would then ^ slowly cover up the land, which f might sink to the depth of a hun- * died foet or so below the level of the water, leaving only a few isolat- F ed mountain tops showing above water. c 1< Read the Advertisements. ?

A special dispatch from Aikeu to The Statto says thousands of fish, including every ?ize, have been killed in Horse creek between Clearwater and the Savannah river, by being poisoned. What is now the Seminole Manufacturing company was Until a few months ago the Clearwater bleachery. and the bleachery used large tanks of chemicals that were poisouous. A few days ago a force of workmen were ordered to empty one of these tanks in the creek and wash it out. It is said that they warned the officials that the contents of the tank would kill the fish in the creek. But notwithstanding the warning they were forced to empty it. As a result fish of all sizes and kinds have been slaughtered all the way to the Savannah river and persons fishing at the point where the creek empties into the river report hundreds of dead fish floating. Another evidence of the quantity of fish killed is the dreadful odor tthroughout the entire distance to the river. The matter was promptly reported to Game Warden Shaw at Langley, and he soon olaced the responsibility. Warrants have been issued by Magistrate S. S. T,ee, at Langley, for five parties and the preliminary examination will be held on Tuesday. From what your correspondent can gather, the feeling of the people In that community has been aroused and they are anxious to see the guilty partieB punished. The State, it is alleged, will be somewhat handicapped in the prosecution, for the reason that the witnesses are employes of the mill and are arlaid to tettify to the truth for fear of losing their Jobs.

Department of Agriculture Offers Advice to South Carolina Farmers. ^ Congressman Lever is in receipt of a letter from the department of agriculture, which should bo of particular interest to farmers. It is from Dr. B. T. Galloway, chief of the bu- 1 reau, and follows. "We are endeavoring to bring about the greater use of the winter legumes in the South, especially the vetches and crimson clover. We are ] sure that these crops, wherever they , can be grown successfully, will be of j enormous benefit, both on account ( of their value for hay or pasturage, and because of their ability to add nitrogen to the soil. One method , that we find very satisfactory is to , conduct demonstration acre plots with reliable farmers. The success of such a plot usually encourages him to plant more and ht? nniBhiw.? to follow suit. "We would bo glad if you would recommend fifty farmers In your district to conduct such experimental plots, each of one acre, the department to furnish both tne seed and the Inoculation material. It is preferable thnt these co-operatortj be farmers who are not already growing the crop. Also that they be located in easily accessible places so that our field men can visit as many as possible in the spring. We can furnish either the vetch or the crimson clover alone for one acre, or one half acre of each. Where vetch alone is sent, we shall usually send both hairy vetch and common vetch. For most of the South (he present evidence is that vetch is much more widely adapted than crimson clover. Vetch may be sown any time from September to December. Crimson clover should not be sown later than September 15. "A common source of failure, both with vetch and crimson clover, is due to lack of inoculation. We are finding much difficulty in the South in inoculating vetch and crimson clover with pure cultures, and are. therefore recommending that soil be used. Y.'c hope to complete arrangement wltn the experiment station, so that inoculated soil can be sent to ench co-operator. "Kindly let us hear promptly from you iu regard to this matter, so that we can make the necessary reservation of seed. It is desirable to have the uamos of the co-operators at an ?i.ily dale, and wc shou. 1 prefer to have the whole list by September 1. We shall write fully to each co-operator indicating in the letter that it is ent upofl your recommendation. "B. T. Galloway." Speaking of this matter, Mr. Lever says: "I regard this as a most important undertaking, perhaps the muai luipuriani ever set on foot by the department of agriculture iti the South. To the practical and observant farmer it is apparent that a winter cover crop is an absolute necessity, both to save the land from washing and to give the land nitrogen and humus. The one crop system has extracted practically all of the humus from the soil, while the necessity for nitrogen, as an element in crop life, means a charge upon the South Carolina farmer of nearly four million dollars each year. It is the opinion of scientists that the brunt of this burden may be saved to the farmer through the growing of legumes, and especially the wintei legumes. This movement looks to this end and is in line wtih the other work being undertaken by the department here in the State through the activities of he State's representatives in Congress. The main lesson that we want to teach Is that we can grow something besides cotton, and the second lesson that we wan to teach is that diversification in agriculture really helps the cotton grower to niaks bis coton crop a profit, and that it increases the yield per ucre planted in cotton." <;<>ES TO TIIK BRYAN FITNI?. j First Bale of New Cotton Receive*] ( at Savannah. i The first bale of "factor's cotton," or that received in the oridnary 1 course of business for this season, was bought Thursday at the Savan- 1 nah Exchange hy Murray M.

Vttacks Itryiui, Democrats and Tli*>ir Platform and Avows Allegiance to Roosevelt Policies. Officially notified Tuesday of his nomination for the presidency by the Republican party, William H. Tuft, standing on the portico of his brother's home in Cincinatti the city of his nativity, formally accepted the honor, pledged anew his allegiance to the policies of President Roosevelt and declared lat the chief function of the next Republican administration will be to clinch what has already been accomplished by the present occupant of the White House. In saying this however. Mr. Taft pointed out in what is regarded as a conservative note in his address that there will be serious and difficult work to do, principally "to devise ways and means by which the high level of business Integrity and obedience to law which he (President Roosevelt) has established may be maintained and departures from it restrained without undue Interference with legitimate business." Mr. Taft attacked the Democratic platform, asserting that most of its declarations either are Inconsistent or disingenuous. Mr. Bryan's policies were held up as destructive. The vast audience that heard the candidate was responsive to Mr. Tuft's every mood, and there were loud cries of "No, no," when he said: "I submit to those most interested, to wage earners, to farmers and to business men whether the introduction into power of the Democratic party, with Mr. Bryan at its head, and with the business destruction thai it openly advocates as a remedy for present evils, will bring about the needed confidence for the restoration of prosperity." Because of the intense hent, which he appeared to feel, he cut his enunciation of principles in many places, ! explaining his course and the reason therefor In order that his hearers might read the en it re speecn . s it was givn out for publican,... Mr. Taft denounced the Democratic anti-Injunction plank as "vague and ambiguous" in contrast to the Kepuhlican declaration, which, he siid. was "clear and unequivocal." Labor and the rights of labor came in for extensive consideration by Mr. Taft. As to the publicity of contribution* for the purpose of currying on campaigns the candidate declared that ( the selection of a treasurer from the. State of New York, bound by the laws of that State as to the publication of such expenditures, assured the position of the Republicans, as against the n'.ero declaration of their opponents. Judge Tuft also discussed trusts, injunctions, the physical valuation of railroads, the currency, postal savings banks, wliicn, he declared, were preferable to the Democratic plan of government guarantee of deposits, and all other Issues which he regarded as pertinent in the coming campaign. He concluded with the declaration that as between the two old parties the difference consisted of the fact tl at with Republican victory there would be prosper:' v; with Democratic victory, business disaster. The enthusiasm of the greatcrowd, gathered in the Taft front ynrd and filling the surrounding streets, was volatile. When Judge Taft first appeared on the platform wearing his reading spectacles the throng broke into applause and cheering, whi h the candidate smilingly acknowledged. Senator Warner's speech of notification was brief, and when he concluded speaking there was an enthusiastic outburst of cheering as Judge Taft stepped forward. Time and again the demonstration was reached, finding its crest when Judge Tnft, acknowledging the nomination and the responsibilties it Imposed upon him, launched into his spec-h of acceptance. The eurly mention of President Roosevelt's name and praise of his policies and administration called out constantly recurring ipplause. Following the delivery of his jpeech of acceptance, Mr. Taft was :alled upon to review a parade of oral and visiting inalitla and po.l tlcal marching clubs. Practically half of those in line were colored members of Taft clubs organized in his und neighboring States. The arado was notable for the rumbc>f bands It contained, the crash of nartlal music being continuous durng the passage of all of the eight rowded divisions. From an improved reviewing stand >n tne sidewalk Judge Taft reviewed he passing hosts. Automobile rides his afternoon, a reception for the 'lsiting politicians at the Clnclnni Country club and an elaborate _ Ireworks display brought the cere nonles of notification day to a close "rom a brilliantly lighted riveteamer Mr. Taft, surrounded b? lsiting politicians and a host of hirlends, witnessed the display "Walking Joe" at Savannah. "Walking Joe," on his way from , he Golden Gate to Boston, limpe t r ito Savannah Monday night with f agged shoes. They will be ofiere s ar sale at auction.

P d Tho Washington correspondent of t, The News and Courier says iu ques- c, tion of what Congress, at its next h session, will do towards providing ^ for a rural delivery parcels post svs- ^ tern is of great importance to the i, merchant, the rural mail carrier and a the patron of the free route alike. ^ That something will be done towards v effecting such a law is now firmly t believed. The officials of the post- e office department are carefully going over a bill that was introduced in the last Congress, marking certain j unfavorable features and substitut- ing others, that it is thought will 1 prove more satisfactory. When the r next session begins recommendations i will be made for the udoptlou of such a system in the Interest of the mer- * chants and the people along the r rural routes generally. c Just what the new law is likely 11 to be may be seen from a careful in- * spectlon of the most favnrnhin nni that Congress had under considera- ' tion last winter, as follows: f The Postmaster General Is au- * thorlzed, under such regulations as * he may prescribe, to establish a do- t mestic rural parcel post at special * rates of postage, for the delivery on t rural delivery routes of foodstuffs i (including groceries, provisions. * meats, fruits and vegetables,) dry > goods, drugs, books and other mer- < chandlse, unless the same shall he ' unmallable under this Act or auy other Act c.s herehby amended.

Tho yr ig lady, who Is the highly ret pcct? ouug dnugnter of oue of the best ? itlzens, is In a highly nervous con . ion but could tell quite clearly o the occurrence. About 10.30 o'clock she stepped out upon the bnck porch to get a drtnk of water. She had walked to tho , spigot and wus In the act of raising 1 the dipper when she heard a Blight ? nolBe behind her. When she raised j ? her head to see what it was she saw J t a man, quite a good deal taller than Jl she, by her. Before she could scream f he had thrown the towel ho had In ,](??
