To the People of Kershaw and Adjoin ing Counties : 1 wish to state that 1 am again as sociated with the Ituckeye Cotton Oil Co. for the coming season as their agent for Kershaw, and a part of Sjith ter and Ix?e Counties, and take this method of thanking those people who have seen lit in the past to give us the liberal patronage that they have, and trust that we merit a continuance of their confidence, and promise to be ever alert to your interest as well as our own. And to those who have not seen fit to have any cotton seed business with us iji the past, we Jisk you to give us an opportunity and we assure you that we shall do everything in our power to make any transaction with you both pleasant and profitable.

Power In Plant Celts. Along with the formation of the sug ar, and caused in part by it? accumu lation, there develop within the ml nute cells of the blueberry plants enor mous osmotic pressures, which enable the plant to push its buds open. If. V. Coville writes in the National Geo graphic Magazine. These pressures are frequently as high as seven atmospheres or more than 1(X) pounds to the square Inch ? a pressure that wnnUl start n lent In n low pressure steam engine. The pres sure may become as high as thirty at mospberes or 4.r?0 pounds to the square Inch? a force sufficient to blow the cyl inder head off of a thousand horse power Corliss engine. The reason the plant does not explode is because it Is broken up into many extremely small and strongly built cells instead of hav ing one big interior cavity. These mi u ute chambers are often us thick walled proportionately as au artillery shell. A Famous War Horse. Bucephalus, the ohargur that carried Alexander tlie Ureal through all his campaigns, received his name from the fact that, although white, hu bad b black mark resembling an ox's hen?J ou his forehead A Thessa Ionian had offered the boree for sale to Philip of Mace<lon, -but as none of the monarch's attendants could manage him the king ordered his own. er to take him away. Alexander, who was present, expressed his regret at losing so flue an animal, and Philip re plied that be would buy the horse if his son could ride him. The offer was accepted by Alexander, who succeeded in the attempt Bucephalus would nev er suffei1 any other person to mount him. Airing a Room. In airing a room there are two things to be remembered? first, that the im pure air must be allowed to escape and, secondly, that fresh Air must be admitted. Impure air in a room is al ways warm and will therefore rise to ward the ceiling, when it will escape If the window is opened at the top. while cold fresh air will, enter through the lower part of the window when opened.

An Ancient and common household article thus supplants, after th^ Initial dlslnfectlug, the highly rfclentlflc, antiseptic appliances of the day.

Klngle. of the theory that a solution of com mon salt In the blood, neutralized by calcium and possibly potassium salt solutions, was the cause of the rhythmic beating of the heart. All doctors had known of saline Injec tions to stimulate the heart. Those who hesitated over the new proposi tion admitted the physiological Im portance of salt and Its ability, after n hemorrhage, to supply the de ficiency In circulation until new blood Is made. Inland people ' of old esteemed saline springs as gifts of the gods. Chips of salt were anciently used as money, and the mineral stood, as many passages In the lilble testify, for high religious symbolisms. The 'sharing of salt represented' In other days a sacred pledge of friendship. A precious and essential quantity In our dally living, though but casually regarded on the grocer's bill for sup plies. s?lt may yet be revealed In a more Intimate relation to life Itself than daring scientists have guessed. Wartime "Kid/' "Kids!" Another word consecrated by usage and recognized by lexico graphers. The term embraces all the lads and lassies, urchins, hobblede hoys, obits and little ones, but some how It means more than all these, writes Maurice Doruiny in Cartoons magazine. In 1870 I, too, was a kid. How did I look upon the war? What memories do I retain of It? I was a 9 year old, ii nd went to school at the Vanves lyceum, which wus then the "Lycee du I'rlnce Imperial." It was In July, and the war hud Ju$t been declared. As It huppeued, Father Mlchuut held his class in history on this historic day, and not because of this, but Mmply because we had arrived at Charles VII, he related to us the glo rious adventure of Joan of Arc. Among us was one pupil who re fused to answer, and our venerable professor was hurt. I still remember his reproachful tones. "No, I shall not punish you." he said. "One does not punish young Frenchmen who are not Interested In Joan of Arc. Rather one pities them. We didn't understand very well why Father Michaut had suddenly be come so grave and reproachful, but we felt that there was a depth of meaning In his words. This meaning we realized better later on. This Is a "Mlater" Country. Despite the abundance of "colonels" who won their titular honors In the auction room by the cut of their .mus taches, America Is essentially' a "mis ter" country. Where in the United States Is a newspaper that would go to the extreme of the London Chroni cle, which says : "If Dr. Woodrow Wilson Is ugain re turned to the White House he will en joy the experience of the only other successful Democratic candidate, Pres ident Grover Cleveland. In Cleveland's J case, however, Brigadier Oeneral Ben jamin Harrison served between- the two terms of office." Harrison's military title is only a biographical memory in America. The London Chronicle, however, referred to William McKInley, when he was presi dent of the United States, and com mander In chief of the army and navy, as Major McKInley. using his Civil war rank. ? Minneapolis Journal. Echo From San Francisco. An event which was not without its regrettable aspects was the recent wrecking of the beautiful buildings and monuments of the exposition at San Francisco, which were erected only about two years ago, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. Despite any de slreto preserve them that adihlrers may have had, the temporary character of the buildings made their demolition advisable. Many of the fine monu mental structures, such as the "Arch of the Rising Sun," surmounted by a group entitled "The Nations of the East," were thrown to the ground by exploding charges of dynamite under them, ??
