Metaorlo Electricity.
We now know qutto accurately the
nature of llghtulng and the method
ol production of the enormous electri
cal pressure exhibited by the flash,
.when cloud* ar? formed by tho con
densation of very mjlnute drops of
yater from tho vapor In the air, under
certain conditions theso drops oxhiblt
a small electrical charge. As the
drops coalesce the capacity increases
I rapidly than the quantity o t
Charge, for the reason that two drops
of equal size, when thoy tlow together,
produce one of only slightly larger di
ameter. On this account the drops
formed by the flowing together of the
?malt mist particles, long before tboy
attain such size as to bo precipitated
as rain, acquire un cicatrical chary.)
of enormous voltage, sufficient oft<M)
to leap a dlutance of a mile throiuh
the air. This must correspond with ,
pressures only to be indicated by mil- ,
Hons of volts.? Electrical Review.

"Of course, go," said Mrs. Pruetto ?

Summary of Reports For the 3outti
Carolina Section.
Tho fiist part of the week ending
Monday, September 8th, was warmer,
the latter part cooler than nana! The
Average temperature was about 7?J du
grcr.fl, or slightly helow normal. The
hjglicst was 05 degrees at Orecnwood
'on the 2nd, thy lowest 57 degree* at
Spartanburg on tho 6th. Tho sunshine
wan generally deficient, but a few
polnti reported it above norma). Theifi
warn no hailstorms or violent winds.
The wrslrrn portion of the Btato had
light but vary beneficial rtlna, and tho
cast ccn'.ral portion heavy rainfall,
with aiiioiiuia ranging tn/tu one totwo
! n? Ik-:*, hut the weeks rainfall wan
pooriy distributed and many points ro
poi*t no rain Uv tho week, to the detri
ment of growing, crops.
Tin; weather was favorable for farm
work during tho greater portion of the
week, but showery weather Interfered
In places with cotton picking. Tho rains
put tho ho:I into good condition for
fall plowing and mowing oats, al
thcugh the la t tor work has not become
general.
hate upland and bottom land corn
continue to thrive and are very prom
ising. Marlboro county reports the
corn crop sufficient for its own needs
for tho coming yoar. Insects Infest
green corn in Nowberfy and York
counties.
Cotton opened repidly, In places pre
maturely, during the week, and nearly
nil the reports Indicate that from one
half to two-thirds of the bolls are
now open. Picking made rapid prog
ress, but failed to keep pace with tho
opening. PicKerS nr s ^wee in a few
eoantirs.
There In a reiteration of former coip
plaints of the prevalence, and harm
ful effect of rust and blight, causing
the . plants to die making it evident
now that there will be but a small top
crop, and only In favored localities
where the plants are free from rust ^ud
havo continued to bloom and fruit.
There Is an almost unanimous expres
sion by reporters, that the crop will be
below average in yield, although a few
correspondents Ktajfcfc that, the yield
will equal or exceed last year's. Some,,
open cotton was ^stained by rain, al
though it is generally being gathered
In line condition. Sea-island cotton is
well fruited, but the prospect for a top
crop is poor. It is opening, and some
has been picked and markotofl.
Caterpillars infest many of the cen
tral counties, moving westward, and
are destroying grass fields in their
pathway. Peas are fine, as a rule, and
all reports indicate an unusually large
crop of sweet potatoes. Other minor
crops improved during the week. Rice
harvest is well under way and the
yields are above average. Tea plants
are thriving; hate fruit is scarce.
Stale Pension Frauds.
Columbia, Spcclal. ? There has re
cently bepn a good deal of agitation re
gard i lift the abuses that seem to creep
into the pension lists in this State. In
the Federal pensions, where the
amounts are large, it is more readily
so en why so many undeserving names
get on the pension rolls, hut in the
matter of the State pension, which is
but a trifle, it is surprising that thero
should be so much deception. All sorts
of tricks are constantly being practiced
j and not s(4 very long ago, it was dls
| covered that ono man was getting a
pension from South Carolina as a Con
federate Veteran and the Federal Gov
ernment was also paying him a pen
sion as u Federal soldier. It was no
uncommon thing for citizens of North
Carolina to claim and get South Caro
lina pensions.
There have been a great many sug
gestions as to thto best method of cur
ing the existing and evidently growing
tendency towards ifraud. It Is a hard
thing to say that men will knowingly
cheat deserving Confederate soldiers
out of their little allowance and that
men wlio do not deserve It are today
claiming to have served and done hon
or to the Confederate cause, when
their comrades know that they wore
deserters or did not serve at all.
The pension department in Colum
bia is absolutely powerless to get at tho
facts of every Individual case. The
harder the. State board tries to pruno
the lists and to be stringent In the
requirements about exact Information
and records and certificates, the mad
der do the county boards get and the
mote applications do they pile on the
State board. . |
It is suggested that one of the great
troubles today Is that there Is too
much petty politics In the selection of
the county boards. It is even suggest
ed that those who are refused pensions
get together and work systematically
to elect those who they know will favor
their applications, which had previous
ly been refused. The townships seloct
their representatives and these town
ship representatives select the county
board. It is said that far better re
sults and often better men were secur
ed when the State board selected the
members of the county boards, and
this was because they would pick out
men who were under no obligations.
The State board, so as to facilitate
those who wish to help in pruning the
lists, not only sends out for publica
tion to such papors as wish it lists of
the county pensioners, and every year
the name of each and every pensioner
Iti South Carolina is published in book
form. This is tho sort of publicity that
the Federal Government will not give
to its pension list. .
