THE USES OF REFRIGERATION.
(
Low Temperature Artificially Oreated
Has Done World Good.
I Most of us know a lot about hot
' air, but the valuable uses to which
f air reduced to such deadly tempera>
ture as 400 and more degrees below
* zero may be put is by no means so
generally understood. Most people
think of refrigeration chiefly as a
means of making artificial ice and
preserving food. The international
congress of refrigeration which met
in Chicago has taught us to what an
- extent refrigeration enters into
science, industry and the useful arts.
It is not only a vital factor in the
food supply of the nation as was pointied
out by Prof. Scribner, in charge
of the government exhibit. It is
claimed *for it that of all the modern
utilities it is the greatest. It is used
in the manufacture of many of the
y necessaries of life. It has, to cite convincing
figures, come to play such an
important part in the industrial
world alone that over a billion doliars
worth of capital is invested in inSK
dustries depending upon abnormal as
Braf well as normal artificially created
HP Delegates from all over the world
jp have been making these facts clear
W during the past few days. As to the
use of refrigeration in chemistry, for
instance, ui. jcvaminei uugu cuuco
lias told of the liquefaction of gas at
a temperature of 426 degrees below
eero, or within two degrees of absolute
zero, in which almost inconceivable
temperature the composition
of atoms may, he asserts, be determ,
ined. The pertinency of the timeworn
jest about steam laundried bids
fair to pass away thanks to refrigeration,
for it has been discovered that
starched linen ironed in a cold temperature
does not crack or fray and
lasts longer. Refrigeration has proved
invaluable in the paper making
industry. It helps to preserve apple
seeds, potatoes and grains. It is useful
in curing or preventing tropical
diseases, and in some cases the ravages
of hay fever have yielded to its
beneficent frigidity.
Its use in making artificial ice is
more generally known, but not the
figures which tell the tale of the extent
of this industry. There are 3,500
ice-manufacturing plants in the
United States alone, with a capacity
v of between eighteen and twenty million
tons of ice a year. Capital invested
in this one industry* is esti
mated to amount to $150,000,000.
Altogether, the showing of the
uses to -which sub-freezing temperatures
artificially created may be put
: is a remarkable one. They have al*
ready made us independent of many
conditions before which man was
once helpless, and the development
of their use promises to bring within
our reach still greater stores of highly
useful and practical knowledge.?

Early Mixed Bathing.
* ____
Mixed bathing, which has aroused
the wrath of a Croydon doctor, is a
fairly old-established institution in
this country, says The London Chronicle.
It was to be found at Brighton
as long ago as 1763, as we learn from
a letter written in that year by
"Gilly" Williams to his friend, Horace
Walpole. "It would astonish
i you," writes Williams, "to see the
mixture of sexes at this place, and
; with what a coolness and indifference
half a dozen Irishmen will bathe
close to those whom we call prudes
elsewhere." A cartoon of a latter
period depicts the prince regent on
one of his visits to Brighton being
assisted in his morning "dip" by a
local bathing woman.
Mixed bathing was a question that
caused trouble under the Roman empire.
It came in with the collapse of
austere Republican manners, and the
Emperors Hadrin and Marcus Aurelius
found it necessar> to issue orders
against it. Alexander Severus also
forbade the opening of "balnea mixta"
in Rome. Later on we find great diversity
of view in Europe on the matter.
In the 15th century Bohemian
and Spanish travelers were astonished
at the goings on at Bruges, Malines
and Brussels. The Spaniard
observes that "the bathing together
of men and women, skin-bare, is here
reckoned as innocent as is, with us, a
visit to church." The public baths at
the Swiss Baden, where only a railing
separated the sexes, scandalized
Poggio Bracciolini.
FOUND GHOST IX A TREE.
Police Cowed, but Plucky Mayor
Routs it with Shotgun.
Two borough marshals of Prospect
Park, N. J., resigned because they
assert they were terrorized nightly by
a ghost that held forth in a tree on
the town's outskirts.
Mayor Lambertus Town. New Jersey's
youngest mayor, waited two
nights for the ghost. The other
night he heard a voice in the tree.

WHOLE FAMILY GUILTY.
Unusual Case is Tried in Federal
Court in Greenville.
Greenville, Oct., 30.?With her
head bowed and weeping with a silent
intensity that made the entire
frame quiver, an aged mother sat
within the bar of the district Federal
court yesterday, and heard from

sent her four sons and husband to
prison for varying lengths of time.
She was Mrs. D. M. Peeler, of Cherokee
county. Her husband, D. M.
Peeler and sons, Charlie, Sammy, Lee
j and June had been convicted of vio-'
lating the law of the United States
which prohibits the illegal manufacture
of whiskey. An eloquent plea
for mercy was made by Attorney J.
H. Price, who represented the convicted
men, but to no avail. The
father was sentenced to pay a fine
of $300 and to six months confinement
in the jail of Cherokee county
Charlie got a sentence of 60 days in
Union county jail and $200 fine, Lee
and Sammy, who are twins, were
given sentences of 30 days each in
I the Lancaster and Spartanburg counties
respectively with a fine of $100,
and June was sentenced to confinement
in th jail of Chrokee county
for 30 days and a fine of $100. The
sentence imposed upon Lee Peeler
was suspended until the firft day of
next January by Judge Smith, in
order that he might attend to the
affairs of the family while the other
members were serving their sentences.

Columbia, Oct. 30? R. C. Godfrey
of Cowpens, for some time employed
j in Spartanburg as a barber, died here
j last night of a bullet wound received
j Wednesday. The inquest will be held
tomorrow morning. Two men named
Campbell and Cooper have been arrested.
Godfrey was seriously wounded
Wednesday night in tVaverley by a
white man named Campbell. A rifle
! bullet passed through Godfrey's back
| and lodged in the region of the left
j hipGodfrey
admitted that he . was
drinking at the time he was shot. He
visited several residences in Waverley
at an hour near midnight and
caused the inmates to fear that burglars
were about to force their way in.
j Godfrey floundered around on the
porch at the residence of a widow,
Mrs. Moose, and when a negro, C6oper,
was called, he knocked him down
i according to the account. Campbell
! was at home when Godfrey endeav|
ored to enter and it was then that
the shooting took place. Godfrey attempted
to get away, but was forced
LU lil <x uit^JLi auuui. I vv jaiuo
from the Campbell home, which is
situated on a street leading through
the Haskell lands.
Godfrey was thoroughly frightened,
fearing that he would die. He
told Sheriff McCain that he did not
know where he was wandering, but
believed that he was at Cowpens and
that he was at his own home instead
of Campbell's. Those who ?aw Godfrey
soon after the shooting expressed
the opinion that he scarcely knew
anything about the circumstances except
that he had been wounded.
Godfrey is a barber. He is a married
man and he requested Dr. Owens
to send a telegram to Mrs. God
frey. Dr. Owens complied with the
request of the wounded man.
Old Records Found by Treasurer.
In delving into the old records of
the s^ite treasury, State Treasurer
Carter has found items of the expense
to the state of the house rent for the
governor. During the years of 181415-16,
governor's house rent cost
South Carolina $250, according to the
records, and each year the governor
changed his residence for some unknown
reason. The owner of the
governor's mansion in 1814 was J.
T. DeLoune, in 1815, was James
Douglass and in 1816 was Elizabeth
Jenkins.?Columbia Record.
TWO KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT.
Prominent Young Men of Ocala Pinned
Under Car.
Ocala, Fla., Nov. 1.?David S. Williams,
Jr., and A. P. Smith, twro of
Ocala's most prominent young men,
were instantly killed in an automobile
accident about three miles from
here to-night.
The machine was found upside
down in the middle of the road and
the bodies pinned underneath. The
fatal accident was discovered by
some unknown person who telephoned
the sheriff from a store near the
city limits.
Sheriff Galloway and party reached
the scene in a few minutes and
extricated the bodies. David S. Williams,
Jr.. a son of Judge D. S. Williams.
was one of Ocala's most promising
young men. Mr. Smith, a member
of the firm of a well-known company,
of this city, came here about
two years ago from Baltimore and
was well liked by every one.

LEO FRANK DENIED NEW TRIAL.
Appeal v**ill be Taken to the Supreme
Court of Georgia.
Atlanta. Ga., October 31.?Leo M.
Frank, whose motion for a new trial
for the murder of Mary Phagan, today
was denied by Judge L. S. Roan,
of the Fulton county court, this afternoon
prepared to take his case
to the Supreme Court of Georgia. Tonight
it was said that attorneys for
the convicted man practically had
completed drafting a bill of exceptions,
on the strength of which they
will continue their fight before the
highest tribunal of the State.
The bill of exceptions, it was said,
will embody practically the same allegations
of error contained in the
motion for a new trial. These charge,
among numerous other counts, prejudice
on the part of two jurors and
that several popular demonstrations
in and near the court room had inliuenced
the verdict. Counsel for
Frank also contended that race prejudice
against their client, who is a
Jew, vitiated the trial.
It was said by Frank's attorneys
that the words of Judge Roan in announcing
his ruling to-day would be
incorporated in the bill of exceptions.
Judge Roan, before whom the case
was tried, said:
"I have heard all the evidence in
this case and taking it altogether I
am not thoroughly convinced as to
the guilt or innocence of the defendant."
Frank, whose sentence to death
was indefinitely suspended pending a
final ruling upon the validity of his
conviction, to-night maintained his
hopeful attitude. He would add
nothing to his statement earlier in
the day, in which he expressed his
disappointment at Judge Roan's decision,
but said he was not discouraged
over the outlook.
The Nation's Hope in Poor Boys.
I remember speaking at a school
not long ago where I understood that
almost all the young men were the
sons of very rich people, and I told
them I looked upon them with a great
deal of pity, because, I said: "Most
of you fellows are doomed to obscurity.
You will not do anything. You
will never try to do anything, and
with all the great tasks of the country
waiting to be done, probably you
are the very men who will decline to
do them. Some man who has been
'up against it,' some man who has
come out of the crowd, somebody who
has had the whip of necessity laid
cn his back, will emerge out of the
crowd, will show that he understands
the interests of the nation, united
and not separated, and will stand
up and lead us."?From "The New
Freedom" by Woodrow Wilson.
BABY BURNED TO DEATH.
Creek Woman Unable to Give Alarm
in Time.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 31.?A 5-weeks'
old baby, son of John Sermes, a
Greek soda stand proprietor, was
burned to death here to-day when
tire consumed the Sermes shop. The
child had been left at home by the
mother, who had gone to another
store nearby. When she returned
and found the house in flames she
became hysterical, and neighbors, unable
to understand her broken English,
did not learn in time that the
child was in danger. The cause of
the fire is unknown.

DOG ADOPTS THREE PIGS. Jggj
Shepherd Mother Fonder of them
than of Her Own Puppies. *??
Three little pigs have been adopted |j||
by a mother dog here to take the ^
! place of her lost puppies. The mother &|
cares for her foster family as if they
were her own. jag
About three weeks ago Harry Wet- |||
more, who lives near Paris, discover- |||
ed that three pigs of different litters gg
j were about to starve to death. He
took them home and placed them in

litter of five pups, three of which
had been given away, was in the gjj
house. gi

ed them to her bed and was nursing jra
! them with her litter of puppies. He ^
I started to take them away to feed
them, but the dog resented this so
vehemently he left them alone. Since ~~
then they have had the same fare as
the puppies, and are in a thriving IJ
condition. The pigs are about three ^
weeks old, and the puppies about
six weeks. The pigs are very fond
of their foster mother, who in turn
is seemingly more fond of them than
she is of her puppies.?Paris, Mo.,

"Placing" the Prisoner. i
Not so many years ago State Senator
Gottifried H. Wende, of New
York, used to be a police magistrate
in Buffalo. It was at that time that
he grew his grey side whiskers. A a
story that he enjoys telling on himself
is this:
"Well, one day a young man was I
brought in, and he looked mighty fa- J
miliar to me, and I said to him: i
'Young man haven't you been in this!
court before?' And he said: 'No, ]
your Honor.' But I couldn't believe'
i 1
him, his face looked so familiar. And
I looked him over again and I said
to-him:
" 'Young man, are you sure you've
never been arrested and been in this
court before?' And the fellow said:
. . i
'No, your honor; this is the first time I
I was ever arrested.'
"And I looked him over again, and j
the police looked him over, and the!
clerk looked him over, and finally I
said: 'Well, yqung man, you certainly
look honest, but I can hardly believe.
Your face is so familiar to me.
Where do you work?' H
"And he said: 'Why, your honor, 1^
don't you remember me? I'm tend
ing bar around the corner.' "?New - ?
