It is a matter of much *" . . surprise to many visitors that a town as wealthy and prosperous as Bamberg is not already enjoying these conveniences and improvements. * * * While this newspaper would like to see waterworks, electric lights, and a fine graded school building, still we are of the opinion that a suitable school building is worse needed. If we can't get the others, let us have the school building anyway. In fact, the others can wait, but this cannot, for the present building is entirely inadequate to the present needs of the school. We can't for the life of us see why any man should be praised for not being sore over his defeat in an election. If the people don't want him, there's an end to it, and no man has a special claim on any political job. There is too much gush over this sort of tliiug to suit us, and we ; never praise a man for accepting his defeat in the proper spirit, for it is no more than he should do.

Missoula, Mont., Sept. 29.?William Johnson, a section foreman, has met his death by being struck by the engine of the Northern Pacific through passenger train while endeavoring to Hag the train to save it from being wrecked, lie discovered a broken rail but a few minutes before the passenger train was due. Johnson saved the train, but was buried - high into the air and into the ditch. He died two hours afterward aboard the train which was hurrying for medical assistance. He leaves a widow and two children. ?? Why He tyiit Iowa. Henry Clay Dean, who was a famous orator a generation ago, was referred to many years after he had moved to Missouri from Iowa as "Henry Clay Dean of Iowa." He used to explain his move from the Hawkeye State in this way: y " "You see, they passed a nefarious prohibition law in Iowa, and there's your whisky gone. Then they abolished capital punishment, and there's your hanging gone. And now the whole population seems to be drifting toward Universalism, and there's your hell gone. I can't live in a state that has neither hell, hanging nor whiskey." j&gf.. Kind to the Poor Melican Tramp.

Aunt Alvira's husband. Uncle Ethan, was a small, wizened, weak-looking man, whom Aunt Alvira declared to be "mighty wiry if he did look so spindlin'." One day a summer boarder who chanced to be sojourning in a farmhouse near the Fifer farm wandered over to the little brown farmhouse and engaged Aunt Alvira in conversation. The visitor sat on the kitchen doorstep and took note of the enormous quantity of stove wood piled up in the back yard and overflowing from the great woodshed. The whole yard was strewn with stovewood, and the caller estimated that there were not less than twenty-live cords of it. "What an enormous quantity of stovewood you have," he said to Aunt Fifer. "Yes, there is considerable of it," she replied. "I cal'late on sellin' most of it in the fall." "Who cut all of it?" "Oh, Ethan did it as sort o' knittin'work. I think it a good thing for a man to have some sort o' knittin'-work to do when he's sort o' restin', an' that woodpile has been Ethan's knittin'-work."?Morris Wade, in October Lippincott's Magazine.

The MnMcle* and Organs of the Body Are Still Workings If the organs of the body cannot be en id to sleep, neither can the voluntary muscles. Witness the phenomena of sleepwalking, the postilions In stagecoach days who slept in their saddles and cavalrymen who do it today, infantry who have been known to sleep on forced marches, sentinels who walk their beats carrying their guns in a fixed position while they sleep. For all we know policemen may do it too. People who talk in their sleep are familiar to all of us. Experiments made by Speir, Armstrong and Child on 200 college students of both sexes showed that 47 per cent of the men and 37 per cent of the women talked in their sleep. A number of things might be proved by these statistics. Of these sleep talkers one-half of the women and one-third of the men are able to answer questions while asleep. More women than men could answer questions on any subject, not alone that of which they had been talking. It has also been found that most sleep talkers are under twenty-five years of age. Evidently, then, with the muscles and organs of the body all working, it is the brain only that sloops, and by no mpnnfi all of the brain. The senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste may be very much awake while the subject sleeps. A sleeping person hears and answers questions, rearranges his bedclothing, covers his eyes to keep out the light, draws away his hand when the experimenter tickles it A child is broken of the habit of sucking his tiiumb while asleep by putting aloes on It. He is conscious of the bitter taste and dreams of wormwood. The nerves, then, and the brain centers corresponding to them are awake. A busy Jpwyer, exhausted by overwork, one night went out to supper with some friends, ate, talked and walked with them, and the next day remembered absolutely nothing of the occurrence. He had not been drinking. The man was simply asleep during the whole evening. His conscious memory?that is, consciousness itself?slept ?Ainslee's Magazine. FLOWER AND TREE. Fruit trees and fruit require potash for their best development. With house plants all extreme changes of temperature should be avoided. Too many trees prevent rapid growth and extend the time when a grove is well shaded. Grapevines like their roots to be near the surface, and the food for them should not be placed at too great a depth. Small growth and too much small fruit go together. Thrifty growth furnishes a few large and fine specimens or iruic. There is no use in growing a tree very tall The top limbs are apt to become slender and break if fruit is produced on them. All members of the poppy family are hard to transplant. By choosing a rainy day and not exposing the roots one can sometimes manage a transference. Avoid straight lines as much as possible. There is no straight line in nature. It is for this reason that groups and masses are so much better than formal or set beds. What Puzzled Louis. Louis Philippe was a wit. What he specially excelled in was the clinching of an argument, such as, for instance, his final remark on the death of Talleyrand. He had paid him a visit the day before. When the news of the prince's death was brought to him, he said, "Are you sure he is dead?" "Very sure, sire," was the answer. "Why, did not your majesty himself notice yesterday that he was dying?" "I did, but there is no judging from appearances with Talleyrand, and I have been asking mj'self for the last four and twenty hours what interest he could possibly have in departing at this particular moment."

Faust, f 1)ircctorstHE COMMERCIAL AND AGRICULTURAL VALUE OF FERTILIZERS. What is known as the commercial value of fertilizers as published in agricultural bulletins and similar documents, is a valuation made up by adding together the average value of the chemical ingredients which are contained in the fertilizers. The agricultural value of a fertilizer is variable according to the skill of the farmer and according to the crop, and according to the seasons. It crop, and the seasons. It is the practical result obtained in applying the fertilizers. The two values ought to be about the same, and on the average they probably are about the same, but the individual farmer who gives careful personal attention to his values will be able to make considerable difference in his results by studying the underlying principles. The chemical ingredients which are recognized as imparting commercial value to fertilizers are nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash. There is but one source of phosphoric acid which is at all practical and which is made use of in the manufacture of fertilizers in the South. This is acid phosphate, which is made by treating phosphate rock with sulphuric acid. The most ordinary source of potash kainit, which is mined in Germany. The phosphoric acid and the potash, which are derived from these sources, are about the same in their results on crops as the phosphoric acid and potash derived from any other sources, but the sources of nitrogen are numerous. This is the most important and expensive ingredient in fertilizers. The commercial value of fertilizers, based on the analysis of the contained nitrogen, is reckoned just the same no matter from what source the nitrogen is obtained, and this fact is apt to mislead the farmer in his estimate of the kinds of fertilizer to use for certain crops. For example: a fertilizer containing nitrate of soda contains a splendid form of nitrogen, and one which is very soluble; therefore, it is very good for early vegetables and quick giowing crops, but it is entirely too soluble for use in the cotton crop. The cotton plant is of slow growth and needs to have its food supplied throughout a long interval. A fertilizer containing cotton seed meal, having the same amount of nitrogen as another fertilizer made of nitrate of soda or any other source of nitrogen, is much more valuable to the cotton plant, even at the same commercial value, than any other kind of fertilizer. The nitrogen in cotton seed meal is all soluble, but it requires some time to be put into complete solution. This is exactly what slow-growing crops like cotton and corn require, therefore, it is important for farmers in the purchase of fertilizer to specify that this fertilizer is made with cotton seed meal, rather than other chemicals used as a source of nitrogen (or, what is the same thing, the source of ammonia.) All fertilizers containing nitrogen in any form are generally known as ammoniated fertilizers. Let every farmer see to it that his fertilizers are ammoniated with cotton seed meal, and, as he knows he can not get the meal to better advantage than from any of the local mills of the Southern Cotton Oil Company of the Carolinas and Georgia, or through their headquarters at Columbia, S.
