I Thursday, May 5, 1904 It is up to Aiken to make good in the primary this summer. Altogether the proceedings of the county convention were most plesant. "While there were differences of opinion on certain matters, the debate was characterized by fairness and courtesy. Some of the voters of the second district are worried over Mr. Croft's views on the tariff question. They may rest easy. Mr. Croft's views on any question will not amount to anything so far as congress is concerned. * * 8enator MayfieJd may have done a wise or a foolish thing in withdrawing from the second race. Time will show, as he will be a candidate for the long term this rammer. Many of his friends strongly id vised his withdrawing. The second section of the child labor aw went into effect Monday. Under the jrovisions of the law it is now unlawful io employ a child under 11 years of age " ir* ontt mine fftplnnr nr textile establishment in this State. Bp The result of the Democratic county Wrconventions held last Monday shows conclusively that Hearst has no showing in R"!;.-.' this State. Some of the counties favor 'Ife; Parker, but delegates as a rule go to the ; . i State convention uninstructed. The county executive committee of jar Edgefield county have deemed it technically their duty to hold a second congresatonal primary election, notwithstanding \ the withdrawal of Senator Mayfield. Bather a queer proceeding and likewise nenlscc gpC It is said that Williams and Patterson ? will he candidates for congress again this fvgnmmcr. They must be possessed of a xL," large and healthy office-holding microbe, for surely, as sensible men, they cannot have any hope of being elected. What BB&lV are they running for? Hfe-' 8ome little editors outside of the dis *: : trict have been letting off their mouths in regard to the recent congressional priaf^'mary. Really it would be a good idea for Bp7 them to look after their own districts and let others alone. They remind us of littie dogs barking at the moon. The United States Senate has again failKed to confirm the nomination of W. D. Bp| Crum, the negro collector of the port of Kra?; Charleston but president Roosevelt im||h mediately reappointed him. Really Teddy Bl& made a mistake by being born with a iirfcite skin. He ought to have been a nepro. # There is no question but that Mr. L. J. Williams found the dispensary a heavy load in the recent primary. While he lever stood a ghost of a chance of electon, still his being the dispensary canditate accounts in large measure for the mall vote he received. The masses of the oople are getting tired of being dictated We trust that those -who wish to write >r this paper on political and other tatters of a public nature will sign their sal names in every case. This does not pply to news letters, of course. But we o think that when one discusses public latters, he should should sign his real ame, so that the people can know how nch importance to attach to his utteriCes. Masonic Meeting.

The banquet was a most magnificent Tf~- one, and the Blackville brethren "are cer / tainly to be congratulated on the handsome manner in which they entertained their visitors. Personally we are under many obligations for kindnesses and courtesies, and we are sure every member of the Bamberg party is likewise indebted. Illy||jp' WALKING IN CIRCLES. Why People Lost In Fog or Forei Do Not Go Straight On. It is a matter of common knowledj that when a man is walking blindfoli ed or is lost in a fog or in some U] known forest or desert instead < walking straight he has always tendency to work round in a circle. Tt most commonly accepted esplanatic of this curious fact is the slight h gquality of a man's legs. The resu Oi one limb being longer than tl other will naturally be that a pe son will unconsciously take a long( step with the longer limb, and co: seq Gently will trend to the right c to the left, according as the left < right Is trie longer, unless me xeuueiu. to deviation is corrected by the eye. This explanation is supported by tt fact that in the enormous majority < cases the human legs are proved to t of unequal length. The careful mea urements of a series of skeletoi showed that no less than 90 per cei had the lower limbs unequal in lengtl 35 per cent had the right limb long< than the left, while in 55 per cent tt left leg was the longer. The left k being, therefore, more often the longe it is to be expected that the inciin: | tion should take place more frequent! i to the right than to the left, and th I conclusion Is quite borne out by ol serrations made on a number of pe sons when walking blindfolded. KOREAN HOUSES. ! Tber Are Comfortable Neither 1 | Summer Nor Winter. ! The Korean style of architecture suited to anything but an extreme cl mate such as prevails there. Doric the winter months it is very cold. Tt bouses are made of bamboo fram | work, plastered within and witboi with adobe mud. The roof is thatch* with rice straw, which is weath< proof. The inside may be made In1 one room by the sliding back of Bcreenlike partition. Just why the* were Introduced it is impossible 1 say, for they are but rarely used, t privacy is never desired in Kore This open space becomes the Kvic room, and even when travelers ai passing along and must halt for tt nlffht ther are invited to share a cod mon sleeping piece on the floor wit I the entire family. The discomfort < such an experience Is extreme durin the summer. In the kitchen, which just without the living room, there ! located a moat carious kind of stov From this clay pipes extend under tl floor to the living room. They wan the house summer and winter alik for it has never entered their mine that some means could be devise whereby the beat could be turned o from the other quarters.?Housekeepe HAIRS OF THE NETTLE, The Rcmm They Itlas So Wbe They Prick the Fleeh. The stinging hairs of the com mo nettle, which can easily be seen by tfc naked eye, stand out under the mien scope as rigid, transparent, tubuls prickles, highly polished and exqu sitely pointed.

Mr. Curtis, in his "Flora,* gives thi graphic description of the process "Placing the foot stalk of a nettle les on the stage of a microscope, I presse the bulb with a blunt pin and foun a liquid ascend in the prickle, as quid silver does when a warm hand is aj plied to the bulb of a thermometer, saw the liquid ascend and flow froi its extremity.
