to bring Hauptmann to trial. Salaries

otherwise. Occupants of rooms in j
private homes paid $10 to $15 weekly.
Other incidental expenditures
added a great deal more to this total.
The one hotel in the town served
as many as 750 noon-day meals in
one day. Its extra help averaged a
total of $400 weekly. Between 40 and
50 persons have been employed by
the hotel during the trial. The women
of the Methodist church made
more than $2,500 serving meals.
Their average for lunch was 125
daily.
Then there are the wages paid to
many kinds of extra help such as
clerks in food and other stores, cooks,
housemaids, telegraph messengers,
etc. Everybody who wanted to work
could get a job and the depression

Lancaster Man
Passes Suddenly
The sudden death of Alfred Brown
Ferguson shortly after 12 o'clock on
Wednesday was a great shock to the
residents of this city as he had been
a prominent citizen of this^ounty for
a number of years. Death resulted
from a heart attack and he lived but
ten or fifteen minptes after suffering
this attack. Mr. Ferguson had sat
down at the dinner table at the home
of his son, Hazel Ferguson, when he
began to cough and left the table to
get a drink of water. Members of
the family noticed that something
was wrong and medical aid was summoned
but he died within a few minutes.
Deceased was a native of Chester
county but he had lived the greater
portion of his life in this county. He
was connected with the GregoryHood
Livestock company for sometime
and for a number of years was
in the mercantile business in this
city.
He was 81 years of age at the time
of his death but had been in good
health up to the time of his death.
He is survived by his widow and
three sons, Hazel and Mally Fergusonof
this city and Rev. A. 18. Ferguson
of Columbia who is pastor of the
Whalcy Street Methodist church and
one daughter, Miss Margaret Ferguson
of this city. He is also survived j
by two sisters, Mrs. Mattie Caldwell
of Rock Hill and Mrs. Emma Jordan
of Lancaster and one brother, Jimmie
Ferguson of this city.
Mr. Ferguson was long a prominent
member of the local Methodist
church, having been a trustee of the j
building committee. He was on the j
committee that made arrangements
for the erection of the .present Methodist
church in 1908.?Lancaster

Disastrous Woods Fire
During the terrific winds which
blew Wednesday a fire was set on
the turpentine lands of J. G. Rhodes
and rapidly spread. The CCC camp
fire fighters responded and soon a
hundred men were making efforts to
stop the fire. It jumped fire lines
and roads and at one place the fire
seemed to leap a distance of nearly
500 feet. It spread from the Rhodes
lands to those of W. H. Varn, Lightsey
and Durham. The fire covered
a distance of two and a half miles in
15 minutes. The area burned could
not be determined at the time of going
to press, but it will cover several
hundred acres, perhaps much more.
The fire was gotten under control
Wednesday afternoon late, and the
burned area is being patrolled to prevent
any further outbreak. It is
thought that the fire was purposely
set by some person.?Walterboro

NEW SUBSTANCE TO
KILL CANCER CELLS
Importunt Discovery Made by
Vienna Doctors.
\ icnim.?The antidote of cancer, r
substance which dissolves and kills tho
cancer cells or microbes, has been
found by Vienna scientists working
under the guidance of l>r. Adolf Kdelwanu,
director of tho Vienna Cancer
Research Institute, founded by the Into j
American millionaire, S.Canning Chllds. j
Dr. Ddelmann and his associates
have produced from human cancerous
tissues an organic substance which dlssolves
cancer cells Just like the "bacteriophage"
dissolves the bacilli of its
own kind.
"Bacteriophage" or bacterium eater,
discovered by the French bacteriologist
d'ilerelle, is a special .type of cell
produced only by organisms attacked
by a contagious disease. The bacterium
eaters can bo found In the blood of
diseased persons and they are believed
to constitute a sort of counter attack
of the organism on tho disease germs.
'1 he "bacteriophage," however, can
also |?e produced artilicially in a "culture
of bacteria. This fact became of
tremendous Importance, as It enabled
bacteriologists to prepare serums
against various contagious diseases.
Now Dr. Fdelman and bis colleagues,
of whom the most prominent Is the
professor of Vienna university. Dr.
I t'itz SUberstein, claim to have found
the "bacteriophage" of cancer. They
named It "Autojysat" or "self-solvent"
because It could not yet be proved
whether or not a cancer-bacterium
exists ut all. But whether cancer cells
are containing parasitic microbes, or
are Just diseased cells of the human
organism, "Autolysnt" dissolves them
and prevents the growth of new cancer
cells.
Perfect X-Ray Is Hot
Enough to Make Jewels
London.?An X-ray machine ten
times more powerful than any other
in the world is nearlng completion at
the Davy-Faraday laboratory of the
Royal Institution, London. It will have
a power of r>0 kllowats, or nearly 70
horsepower.
This apparatus will he used for
"high-speed X-ray analysis." It will
show exactly how the innermost
atnms of materials are arranged.
' tno of the mysteries wlijrh has been
solved by "X-ray analysis" is that of
the permanent wave. Beauty specialists
found various methods to produce
the waves, but even scientists did not
know why they were "permanent."
Now X rays have shown that when
the waving specialists have finished
with a girl's bend the arrangement of
the billions of atoms In each hair has
been completely changed.
This new machine will be able to
produce rays of bent so Intense that
If trained on a block of steel several
feet thick they will Instantly burn
through It.
Artificial diamonds 'could also be
produced by training the beat rays
on carbon; and rubles made from
aluminum oxide.
Efcsy Cure for Insomnia
Is Just Stop Thinking
London.?A sure cure for Insomnia la
to stop thinking.
/And to stop thinking, according to
kill as MacKinnon, a well-known British
educationist, It only needs a little
practice.
McKlnnon said:
"With practice one can learn to stop
thinking altogether. The way to do It
Is to relax the muscles of the face. Including
the muscles of the eyes, and
gradually all thought will drift away.
"You will have a feeling of delightful
drowsiness and you will be able
to fall asleep at will and at any time.
This Is a certain cure for Insomnia,"
For the first time in more than two
years there was not a single major
crime reported to the New York police
for the 24 hours ending at 8 a.
m., Tuesday morning. The police are
much puzzled.
