THEIR COLORS. 1
t
A Touch of Human Nature Amid the '
Horrors of War.
Out of the midst of the bloody '
horrors of the battle of Fredericksburg
comes a sweet and touching in- ,
cident which goes to prove that the
rage of battle cannot obliterate the ^
tenderness dwelling in the hearts of t
men. The story is taken from Major ^
Robert Stiles's "Four Years Under }
Massa Robert." The Federal army
was entering the town, shot was fly- s
ing in all directions, and Buck, a Con- j
federate soldier, was peering around
the corner of a house. j
A little three-year-old, fair haired f
baby girl toddled out of the alley,
"accompanied by a Newfoundland dog,
and in the midst of the hissing shells
chased a cannon ball down the street.
Buck ground his gun, dashed out ?
into the storm and swung his great
right arm around the baby. Then
he ran after his company, the little
one clasped to his breast.
The company took refuge behind
the stone wall which has now become
historic, and there for hours
and days of terror the baby was kept.
Fierce nurses took turns in petting
her while the storm of battle raged
and shrieked. Never was a baby so
cared for, and scouts scoured the
countryside to get- her milk.
When the struggle was over and
the Federal army had left the company
behind the wall received the
post of honor in the van to lead the
column into town. Buck stood
about in the middle of the regiment,
the baby in his arms. There was a
long halt, and the brigade staff hurried
to and fro. The regimental colors
were not to be found.
Suddenlv Buck sprang to. the front. r
? V
He swung aloft the baby girl, her
little garments fluttering like the
folds of a banner, and shouted:
"Forward, men of the Twenty.first!
Here are our colors!"
. Off started the brigade, cheering
lustily.
A Great Invention.
In the department called "About
People," in the June Woman's Home
Companion, is the following paragraph
about Angus Campbell, the
man who invented the machine that
picks cotton: A farmer, when he
saw the machine the first time, said
very wisely: "It will put ithe children
to school." >
"Twenty-five years ago a Chicago
pattern-maker went on a pleasuretrip
to Texas, where he saw hundreds
of men, women and children
laboriously picking cotton and dragging
their slowly-filling sacks behind
them as they toiled through the hot
fields. Like others before him, he
wondered if a machine might not be
devised to do this work better, and
to accomplish in the South a marvel
parallelling that which the great
grain-harvesters have worked in the
wheat-fields of the West Others hadtried
and failed, as he also might
have failed had he not been of the
persevering Scotch strain guaranteed
by his name, Angus Campbell. Comparatively
the grain-harvester presented
a simple problem, for grain
ripens uniformly and the entire field
may be cut at once. But the cottonbolls
mature at different times. A
cotton-harvester, therefore, must be
a machine that thinks?a machine
with sufficient discrimination to pick
out all the lint from the ripened
bolls, yet to pass over those not yet ?
matured, leaving the delicate plant 1
unharmed. Mr. Campbell wrestled c
with the problem nearly twenty s
years and suffered many discouragements
and failures before he at last
devised a wonderful contrivance with
countless delicate fingers that will really
pick cotton. It is hard to realize
all that this invention may mean
to the cotton-growing States. That
it will cut down the cost of harvesting
cotton two-thirds is a moderate
estimate. And, as a farmer's wife
thankfully observed, 'You don't have
to cook for it.' Indirectly it will
enormously increase the natural production
of the chief export staple,
and will save the Southern farmer
tens of millions of dollars each year.
Moreover, where farmers have actually
been compelled to limit their
cotton acreage because of the difficulty
of securing labor in the picking
season, this ever-ready servant
will enable them to increase their
crops without fear, perhaps doubling
the value of their lands. Better still, 5
it will release from the drudgery of 1
the fields thousands who should
be otherwise employed." ,
TRAINS COLLIDE.
Pvventy or More Injured in Smash
on Burlington.
Denver, May 29.?At least nine
persons were killed and twenty injured
to-day in a head-on collision
between eastbound passenger trains
\Tos. 9 and 11, on the Burlington
ailroad. ten miles east of McCook,
\Teb. The engineers of both trains
ire reported among the killed.
The members of the Denver and
Dmaha baseball teams, of the Western
League, were passengers on the
vest bound train, the Colorado lim
ted. A number of members of both
;eams were slightly hurt. James
McGill, president of the Denver
;eam, was among the injured. Pitchir
Kinsella had his face badly cut
md Second Baseman Lloyd suffered
ninor injuries. X
The day coach on the limited was
:otally wrecked and in this car most
)f the casualties took place. The
;oiyist car and baggage car were
:hrown on their sides, but so far as
tnown, their occupants escaped se*ious
injuries.
Surgeons and nurses have been
summoned from McCook and other
learby towns.
The fireman, brakeman and express
messenger of the west bound
:rain are reported among the killed.
Feeding Young Pigs.
At this time of yearimost of the
sows have farrowed their spring liters
and it is very important that the
ittle pigs be kept in a thrifty, growng
condition and developed to ma:urity
at a minimum cost. A fender
iround the farrowing-, pen made of
poles or scantling about ten inches
?rom the wall and eight inches from
;he floor will save the lives of many
ittle pigs and prevent the sow from
;rushing or injuring them.
Until the pigs are a month old the
>nly way of feeding them is through
he mother, and the amount of milk
?iven by the sow has a decided efect
on the future development of
he young pigs.
Our plan of handling hogs at Clem;on
College is to keep the sow with
;oung pigs in the farrowing pen
vhich has a small lot adjoining for
hree to four weeks after farrowing,
hen turn them out on green pre,
dover, and Bermuda grass pasture
)r rape, which are the only green
:rops we have at present. Separate
;mall movable houses are provided
or each sow and in addition to the
eed given the sow, \whichv consists
)f a little corn and wheat middlings,
he pigs are fed in separate pens on
ikim milk and middlings made into
i thin slop, and if no milk is availible
use middlings and ground corn
>r six parts ground corn and one
>art tankage. The little pigs also
earn to eat the green feed and when
wo months old are weaned. Having
earned to eat well, they will feel
he loss of their mothers very little
lor are their digestive organs deanged
by any sudden chage of feed.
mt- 4 - X ? ? ? J* 2 _
i nis sysieiu ui itreuiiig is iiuuuuled
until the early sorghum, Spansh
peanuts, and later soy hean
ots are ready, and the corn and cow>eas.
It is important that the pigs
>e given plenty of clean water and
ihade and kept free from lice by
ising any cheap heavy oil or a five
>er cent, solution of any of the standird
coal tar products used for this
rnrpose. Farmers must not forget
hat size is largely the result of feed
is well as inheritance, and while
he pig may inherit large size, it reluires
constant, liberal feeding to
levelop it,
In our experiments this year we
ire- arranging to determine the
lumber of pounds of pork per acre
hat can be derived from the differ;nt
crops easily grown in this State.
iVe would also be glad to get in
ouch \with farmers who are feeding
>igs this summer.

Snake Tries to Swallow Calf.
Luray, Va., May 27.?In search of
i stray calf which had become separated
from the rest of the herd of
:attle belonging to Mr. W. H. Keyler,
of this country, James Cubbage,
vho is herding the cattle in the
31ue Ridge, was horrified the other
lay to find the calf some distance
rom the other cattle firmly in the
p*ip of a monster black snake of the
iangerous species which infest that
egion. The snake was hanging on
vith a deathlike grip to the calf's
;ail, 7 inches of which it had swalowed.
The snake when found was
naking frantic efforts to complete
ts feat of swallowing the whole outit.
When Cubbage found the calf it
ivas fatigued and emaciated, givhg
mmistakable evidence that it had
)een carrying the snake for some
;ime and had lost valuable time
:rom luxuriant pasture in an effort
:o escape. With a heavy club Cubbage
broke the snake's back, though
t maintained an ugly disposition until
it was given a fatal blow. The
make measured seven feet long.?

POLITICAL WIND SHIFTS.
4 I
BREEZE NOW BLOWING CHAMP
CLARKWARD.
Apparently Fickle Favor Has Snitched
from Harmon.?Speaker is
Merely in Receptive Mood.
Washington, May 28.?Whether it
remains so or not, the political wind
is now blowing steadily in the direction
of Champ Clark for president,
and it has been generally admitted;
that there has been a remarkable'
shift in public opinion in the past)
few weeks. It is not so long ago that j
' the friends of Gov. Harmon werej
enthusiastic in the announcement
that the Ohio governor would capture
the Democratic nomination for
the presidency in the national con
- - - ' " - ? r-l
vention in lyiz. At mat nine mms
of Gov. Harmon claimed first place
for him in the race for nomination;
Gov. Wilson of New Jersey was conceded
to be a close second by the
Harmon boomers and the first place ?
was claimed for him by his friends.
Champ Clark was conceded by all to
be a poor third.
To-day the suituation is entirely j
changed. Notwithstanding the fact ^
that the Harmon supporters opened j
up campaign headquarters under the \
very nose of the Democratic speaker j
of the house?in fact an office in the ,
lirmco nffirp building was used as the 1
Washington campaign headquarters i
?the speaker has come along so ,
rapidly that Gov. Harmon has drop- ped
from first place to a poor third, formerly
occupied by Mr. Clark. ]
There is wide difference of opinion ?
as to the relative standing of Gov. j
Wilson and Speaker Clarke, but both <
sides admit that so far as it is pos- j
sible to judge at this time public ]
opinion is almost equally divided. j
Thus far in the race Mr. Clark has \
not raised his hand to further his
own political ambitions. Members <
of the house who have talked to the (
speaker on the subject and who have j
urged him to announce his candidacy (
have had no success. Mr. Clark has j
no intention at this time of announc
ing his candidacy. He has made the
fact so plain to his friends that they (
have ceased talking to him about it. i
I Speaker Clark is not running away (
I from the nomination. He is quite j
I as thoroughly infected with presi- j
dential bacilli as any man in public j
life. His friends have been given to j
i understand, however, that the speak
er is going to stand or fall on the <
i j record made by the Democratic t
? house of representatives. Ih this j
respect he is believed to have an ad- t
j vantage over Gov. Wilson. It is ad- i
mitted that the legislative pro- j
' gramme put through the New Jersey i
* legislature by Gov. Wilson and i
> against the wishes of the party lead- ]
f ers in that State was an extremely i
J ambitious one, and one which re- <
i fleeted credit on the governor. The 1
New Jersey legislature has adjourn- ]
ed, however, and much that has been j
5 done there has been forgotten out- ]
side of New Jersey. Mr. Clark's j
! friends figure that the eyes of the ]
country are now centered on the <
Democratic house and that if the i
house performs as Mr. Clark wishes <
- and hopes it will perform he will he ]
f in an excellent position to command ;
a majority of the votes in the Demo- j
cratic national convention. ]

the undivided support of the Demo- 1

Coney Island Swept by Flames.
New York, May 27.?On the eve of
its opening, Coney Island, the playground
of New York, was devastated
by fire early this morning, resulting
in a loss of 13,000,000. Dreamland,
the largest of the shows, together
with twenty others, concessions, hotels
and bath houses were in ashes
when the fire was finally extinguished.
No fatalities resulted, although
i number of employes of the resort
ind others had narrow escapes.
Little, if any, insurance was carried,
since the rates for Coney Island were
prohibitive. Had it not been for a
shift in the wind, which changed
from southeast and blew off shore,
Luna Park, Steeplechase and the
rest of Coney Island would have been
Ired.
The fire started in "Hell Gate," a
scenic railway close to the entrance
of Dreamland. Three alarms were
immediately turned in in rapid succession,
bringing to the blaze apparatus
from Brooklyn, N. Y., New
Fork city and surrounding suburbs.
Just when Dreamland and the
pther amusements burned will be rebuilt
is not known, but Manager
Sumpertz, of the Dreamland enterprise,
said to-night that the public
might be sure that a greater and
Iner Dreamland is going to rise from
ts ashes.
cratic members of the house, it is
co-day an admitted fact that thefe
is a better feeling on the Democratic
side of the house than at any time
since the rules fight two years ago.
It that time Mr. Clark, then minorty
leader, made no secret of his bit;er
feeling against Representative
Fitzgerald and the 22 men who voted
igainst Clark on the committee on
committees, and the minority leader
told Fitzgerald that he would have
ao more of his "slack-jaw." It is
aow learned that more than a year
later Clark took occasion to apologize
to Fitzgerald for the use of that
language. This apology was in accordance
with Mr. Clark's determination
to maintain harmony in his
iwn ranks, and it had the effect of
dealing over the old wounds. Now
Mr. Clark is just sitting tight waibIng
for the Democratic house to complete
a legislative programme which
will provide him with a platform on:
which he can stand firmly.

Would Become Unfaithful.
Tacoma, Wash., May 29.?T. H.
H. Gardner, a traveling preacher, attached
to no sect, beat his wife to t_-2S
death with a club yesterday a mile
east of Rittitas, and after attempting
to drown himself in an irrigation
ditch, gave himself up.
Gardner told the officers that he
feared if he did not kill his wife^she
would become unfaithful to him
through the influence of his enemies.
He said he had received occult messages
to that effect.

Columbia, May 30.?Gov. Blease
to-night signed a requisition on the

ing that Attorney Felder is wanted at ||j
Newoerry to answer me cnarges
made in connection with the dispen- ^
sary business.
Sheriff Buford, of Newberry, now
has the requisition and will leave
here on the early morning train to
have the requisition honored, and,
if so done, to escort Mr. Pelder to
Newberry, where he will give bond
for his appearance, at the regular

Why Suffer from Eczema? ||
A Georgia Mai Tells His Experieacc. ||
I was afflicted with a very bod
case of Eczema for twenty-five
years, which was in my feet, legs
I and hips. Through all this time I
tried different remedies and Doc*
tors' prescriptions, obtaining no
relief until I used your HUNT'S

One box (50c.) cured me en- ^
tirely, and though two years have
j elapsed I have had no return of
the trouble.
Naturally I regard it as the
greatest remedy in the world.
