' V' Laurens, April 21?Early last evening, while swinging from the conveying pipe, Master Luther Franks, the 7-year-old son of Mr. R. J. Franks of the Laurens cotton mills and one of the best citizens of Laurens, lost his grip, fell into the reservoir of the Southern Cotton Oil company here, and wa9 drowned. The lad, with two other boys of about the same age, were playing around the reservoir and when he fell in his companions immediately ran home but did not give the alarm for some time.

For some time past the editor of The Herald has been endeavoring to induce the Southern Railway to extend the service of a short train from Augusta on to Bamberg. This train now runs between Blackville and Augusta, and it would be a great convenience to onr people if the train could be run to Bamberg. We have had some correspondence both with the railroad authorities and the railroad commission, and it appears that we will not get the train. Superintendent Heether wrote us last week that the railroad could not extend the train, on account of the extra expense the road would be put to in running another train from Blackville to Kingville. It seems that this train will shortly be put on in order to make certain the connection at Branchville for Columbia and the up-country. Mr. Heether's reason for not extending the Augusta train is no reason at all, but we greatly fear the railroad commission will not give us any relief. Work Commenced.. Mr. E. J. Putzel, of the Electric Supply Co., contractors for the city's electric light plant, arrived here Tuesday afternoon and will have entire charge of the construction work. A temporary structure will at once be erected on the lot for the power house, in which will be stored machinery, materials, and supplies. A sales room will be opened up in the store of E. C. Hays next door to The Herald office, where will be displayed all sorts of electrical fixtures, fans, etc. The work of wiring residences will begin at once. Mr. Cbartrand has commenced to de liver the poles for tne line, ana mis wurts. will be pushed rapidly. A lot of machinery, etc., has already arrived, and the president of the company writes us that practically all machinery for the plant has been shipped. Mr. Putzel is a hustler, ^ and our people can rest assured that the work will go forward swiftly and satisfactorily. Waterman's Ideal fountain pen at The . Herald office. ? K BAMBE > E A L E R I IN I AND VEHICI Stock in thU he State HEDGEHOGS. Teaom of tie Moat Poisonous Soake Docs Not Affect Them. An interesting fact about hedgehog that perhaps not many persons kno\ is that the bites of even the most pol 60dous serpents have no effect on ther whatever. Mr. Lenz, a naturalist, one watched a fight between a hedgehoi and a viper and gives a most interest ing description of it He says tha when the hedgehog came near th snake she began to smell it, for th sight of these animals is so poor tha they depend almost entirely on th sense of smell, and then she seized it head with her teeth. In a moment the snake had freed i1 self and, darting at the hedgehog, bi it several times, but the little anima did not seem to mind the bites at all and when the snake was tired out wit] its efforts she again seized its head which she ground beneath her teeth poisonous fangs and all. Then she de voured almost the whole of its body. M. Lenz also tells of a pet hedgehoj that he kept in his house In a larg box. Several times he put some ad ders into the box, which the hedgeho; did not seem to fear at all, but at tacked them fiercely and, as in the cas of the other, was never in the least ai fected by their poisonous bites. A man who had a pet hedgehoi in his possession for a long time say that he had often seen it throw itsel off the top of a wall fourteen feet ii height Without pausing a moment i would contract itself into a soft fluff; ball and fall to the ground so lightl; that almost immediately it would un fold itself and run off.?Chicago Chron icle. DIVISIONS OF TIME. Measurements of the Days, Monthi and Tear*. A "solar day" is measured by the ro tation of the earth upon its axis and 1 of different lengths, owing to the eliip ticity of the earth's orbit and othe causes, but a "mean solar day" i twenty-four hours long, as reckoned b; the timepieces. An astronomical day commences a noon and is counted from the first t the twenty-fourth hour. A "civil day1 commences at midnight and is count ed from the first to the twelfth houi and then again commences with on and finishes with twelve. A "nautico day" is reckoned the same as the "civi day," only that the reckoning is begin at noon instead of at midnight. A "calendar month" varies fron twenty-eight to thirty-one days, i ?t Is +TT*nnfv?-nirii "meau muur uiuaui 10 >.? days, twelve hours, forty-four minutes two and two-thirds seconds. A "year' is divided into 305 days. A "6ola year," which is the time occupied b; the sun in passing from one norma equinox to the other, consists of 364. 24244 days, which is equal to 365 days 5 hoqrs, 48 minutes, 49.536 seconds. A "Julian year" is 365 days even. 1 "Gregorian year" is 365.2425 days The error in the Gregorian mode o time reckoning amounts to but one da; in each 3,571 years. A Good Kater. When Gustavus of Sweden was b? sieging Prague, a boor of extraordi nary aspect gained admittance to hi tent and offered, by way of amusini his majesty, to devour a large hog t his presence. Old General Konigs marck, who was in attendance, at one suggested that the man with the Gai gantuan appetite should be burned a a witch, whereupon the boor, whos feelings were hurt by this observatioi exclaimed, "If your majesty will bu make that old gentleman take off hi sword and spurs, I will eat him befor I begin the pig." This was accom panied by such a "hideous expansioi of the jaws and mouth" that the gen eral, though he had given his "proofs on many a field, turned pale and fie incontinently to his tent.

In the audience was a man who was publicly known to oppose foreign missions, and who was also suspected of being an agnostic of the deepest dye.
