Below we print a very interesUiiK article on telepathy, which mean8. as far aa It can be pot In lantfuatfe. enno- munlcatlon ofThlnds at Kreat distances without any known roedium. The Newberry (Mwerver says the science, If such it Is, Is new. The unabrldKcd dictionaries of only a few years atfo did not even contain the word ‘'tele pathy.” Still It Is older than wireless telegraphy; which It resembles in some respects, but is far more wonder ful. Some Wirt of reasonable and In- tetBgiblo oaUailatlna can be given of, the Marconi system of wireless mes sages between distant points, but there is no explanation for this kind of communication. That the fact exists cannot l>e questioned. All we can say Is, as Hamlet said to Uloratlo: "There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamed of ip your philosophy,” —* Every man may be his own tele phone. This Is the amazing declara tion made by the believers Ip tele pathy, which may be described as the wireless telegraphy of the mind. Sir William Crookes has recently startled the scientists of the world hy declar ing that It may be possible to send thoughts across the Atlantic ocean or around the. world without either cables ■ or the apparatus of Marconi. "Is it inconceivable,” said he, “that' Intense thought, concentrated toward a person with wnom the thlnjfcr is Jo., close sympathy, may induce a telepai 1 - - tblc chain of brainwaves along which a message of thought mav go Straight to its goal without loss of energy diic- to distance? May not the words ‘far’ and ‘near’ lose their meaning in these subtle regions of unsubstantial .thought? I dare to suggest It.” This Is the opinion of SIT William Crookes, the Inventor of the Crookes tube, which made the X-ray possible, the president of the British Associa tion of Scientists, the “king of chem ists” and hero of many a sclentltic ex ploit. Telepathy, this new and mys terious power of the human mind, is _ not difficult to understand. Dr. It. Osgood Mason, fellow of the New York Acadeny of Medicine,;says: "There are fortunate Individuals to day who have no need of malls or teje- grapbs, but who can communicate with one another, no matter how widely they may be separated. A man named Fitzgerald, at Brunswick; —Ma , snd rlpworibed the Great Fall On the morning of the 10th i Kebruery, igtt. lust About day-light, Mrs. George MoWhirter of that city was gentif roused from sleep hy feel* Inga bend upon her forehead—whloh the took to be the hand of a dead sister—and a voice said, "Father la dead.” Her father was living In Cnlon, and when she last hewtd from him previous to this time he was In good health. In a few minutes she was again asleep, and precisely the same message came to her In the same way, and woke her. She drop ped off TnA'.eep again, and the ex perience was repeated a third time. She then became thoroughly con vine-, ed that her father was dead—had no. more doubt of It than if she had seen him die. She related the occurrenae to her husband, who tried to laugh hermit of what he called '‘supersti tion,” reminding her that she did not believe in such thing. She said; "It is true I ha^e'tite superstition, but I know that Father is dead, aud when the telegraph office opens this morning we will gat—a message saylng-ao," When the office was opened a message came saying: "Your father dropped dead this morn-, ing at six o'clock;” which was just the time the strange and inexplicable mes- sage have come to her. Another instance fully as strange as this happened to Dr. P. B. Ruff, a physician of Newberry, who died In 18W. Dr. Ruff was the grandfather of Mrs. Elbert H. Aull of this city. He was an honored citizen and dis tinguished physician. No man ever stood higher in public estlmalloir. He was a man of much more r than or dinary intelligence and judgment and culture, in his profession and otherwise. Some time before the <fcr he had a son, Pressley, at school at Mt.

It may s^em ridiculous that so' much labor and expense should be put into the pursuit oLa trilling fraction of a second—a period of time so short us to be practically (inappreciable by the human senses. But it should be remembered that longitude is calcu lated on the basis of Greenwich time, and the difference of the sixteenth of a second would change perceptibly tbe position of every meridian ^longi tude in the world. Thus miMpriit- ieal bundaries, fixed by longitude, would be altered, and thousands of people would find themselves of a dif ferent nationality. Sp this lost frac tion is of very greaflmportance, after all. Time Is a valuable thing. A frac tion of a minute may affect the destinies of thousands. In the region of “too iate,” one second Is the same Like the Fairs oT is numbered, and in the great economy of the universe, not the twinkling of a star is missing.

C., recently adopted the method used by Dr. Parkhurst, tn New York, of spying upon the unfortunate fallen women of Ashvllle In order to Inaugu rate a social purity campaign. Ac companied by a policeman, the pas tor himseK belngdisguised, he visited all the resorts of sin in Ashvllle, not finishing his rounds until after mid night. We do not impugn Mr. Sil er’s motives, but we confess Inability to see how such a course as he pursued is any part of a preacher's mission. to persuade his relatives, to keep him, but this they refused. So now the According to the published accounts he* practiced deception upon the ab solutely most friendless class of man beings in the world, by conceal ing both his idenity and the purpose of his mission. “ It is inconceivable that he could hereafter Influence one of these women to accept the salvation that he preaches from his pulpit, and that is tbe mission of a precher of tbe gospel, as we understand it. Of course, we understand that Mr. Siler meant well, bat we genuninely regret that be has imitated tbe sensational ist, Parkhust, in this matter FOR IRE CASH we will st-l 1 vou guaranteed strictly 'LTnsetid oil . s m bariel lots for 60cts per gallon,,* • t ~ • ‘ • ' s Raw or Boiled. * Can Extra.
