SUSTAINS REV. NETTLES.
Decision of State Methodist Conference
Reversed.
Columbia, May 16.?Mr. Joe L.
Nettles of this city, received a telegram
from "nis brother at Oklahoma
City to-night saying that the committee
on appeals of the general
conference of the Methodist church,
now in session there, to-day unanimously
reversed the findings of the
trial court in suspending his father,
the Rev. S. A. Nettles, from the conforpnpA
for throp months. The Rev.
Mr. Nettles was suspended from the
South Carolina conference for three
months during its meeting in Rock
Hill, and the information to-night
is that the general conference sustained
his appeal and reversed the
South Carolina conference. The Rev.
S. A. Nettles was formerly editor of
the Southern Christian Advocate.
Peculiarities of the Earth.
On account of the form of the
earth and its various motions there
are several little facts of more or less
interest connected therewith. For
instance, a man at the North Pole
weighs more than he does at the
equator, a man down in a mine
' weighs less than he does on the surface
of the earth, a man up in a balloon
weighs less than he does at the
surtace or tne eann. i ne reasuu v> u >
a loss of weight occurs in going from
the pole to the equator is because the
earth swells out around its middle
and a person thus goes further from
the centre in going that way; also a
loss of weight is occasioned by the
? rotation of the earth on its axis?
for a person at the equator tends
to fly off from the surface just as a
particle of mud teijds to fly off of a
rotating buggy wheel. No tendency
of this kind is evident at the pole
for the pole of course is on the axis
z and there is very slight rotation
there. To understand this remember
that the earth is about twentyfive
thousand miles around at the
equator. As the earth rotates once
in twenty-four hours it can be reaai*
ly seen that a person residing on the
equator is traveling at the great
i, ' speed of over a thousand miles an
hour toward the east. Now a per
son near the pole would also go
around once in twenty-four hours,
hut the distance around the pole
would be very small, so that the speed
would be practically zero and at the
pole would be zero. If it were possible
to make the earth rotate about
eighteen times faster than it does
at present a very peculiar state of affairs
would exist. For things at the
i . equator would not weigh anything?
a person could jump up into the air
and stay there for quite a time before
coming back down, in fact unless he
was very careful when he jumped,
he would go so high that he might
leave the earth for awhile. People
at the poles, however, would weigh
the same as before, so if a man walked
from the pole to the equator he
would constantly get lighter and
lighter and he would find that he
; could carry more things and be less
fatigued the further along he got to
* the equator. At the equator he could
lift a house and there he would find
labor cheap?so, if he were a laborer,
he would probably go back.
Besides its rotation around its own
f Mi t .
axis the earth revolves around the
"* sun once a year. The distance around
ann is about half a billion miles,
so the speed of the earth through
space relative to the sun is that divided
by the number of hours in a year,
which makes it about 63,000 miles
an hour. This is the average speed,
but the speed changes with the seai
sons. When the earth is nearest to
the sun the speed is greatest and exceeds
the above figure; when farther
away is less. Now it would seem
that when we are closer to the sun
we should have summer time. This
is not the case, as the winter for the
Northern .Hemisphere is when the
earth is closest the sun. Our summer
is when we are furthest from the
sun. Not so is this for the Southern
Hemisphere?the South Americans
have their summer when they
are nearest the sun and consequently
their summer is warmer than ours,
this cause alone considered. Their
winter is also colder. The cause of
the Masons, however, is not the close
ness to the sun but the angle the
sun's rays make with the surface of
the earth. The earth is tilted so that
the whole Northern Hemisphere is
P" tilted away from the sun during the
, winter and the Southern toward it.
This fact will be seen when we remember
that the sun is very far to
the south of the zenith at midday
in winter, and climbs closer and
*
closer as spring approaches. The
'reason why this tilting causes winter
may be seen from a very simple
experiment. A sheet of paper held
directly in front of a lamp will get
a certain amount of light on every
square inch. If now the paper be
, tilted, less and less light falls on
every square inch, until when the
edge of the paper is presented to the
lamp no light falls (or very little.)
Now as the amount of the sun's light
mr
ROBBERS GET $750.
Blow Open Safe in Express Office at
Seneca, S. C.
Anderson, May 15.?The safe in
the express office, at Seneca, was
cracked some time during last mgnt
and about $750 in currency and silver
taken by the robbers.
A night telegraph operator in an
'adjoining room, and a negro porter,
who was on duty, throughout the
night, failed to hear the report of
the explosion, and the fact that the
safe had been blown open and robbed,
was not known until this morning.
The robbers forced an entrance
through a window, in the front part
of the inside office, nailed up the office
door, to keep out intruders. They
then got in their work and made their
escape. The express office occupies
part of the depot.
It is now known that there was a
parcel of money sent from the Anderson
express office, consigned to the
Chattanooga office money order department,
for $539, on the train going
from Anderson to Seneca last
night, and it is thought that this was
one of the parcels of money taken.
and heat received per square mile
determines the temperature to a
great extent the above proposition
should be clearer.
There are two other motions of
the earth. The earth and moon revolve
around their common centre
of gravity as they both go around
the sun and the earth's axis wabbles
slightly as it goes through space.
One other motion there is also?for
it has been definitely proven that the
sun and his whole family (including
the earth) are all sweeping through
space at a very rapid rate.
The tides of the sea are caused
by the moon's attraction, and lo a
slighter extent by that of the sun.
The process is as follows: The moon
and earth attract each other by
gravity but are prevented from getting
together by th^ centrifugal force
of their common revolution. This
would not prevent either one, however,
from pulling the other out into
a more elongated shape in case either
one were plastic or fluid. As the
earth has a great deal of fluid in the
form of water on its surface the
moon pulls this oui tnto a hump?
so there is always a hump of water
directly' under the moon on the
earth's surface where that surface is
liquid. Now this hump tries to stay
directly under the moon and, as the
moon travels around the earth (or
rathpr a*? the earth rotates) the
hump travels around the earth, thus
causing a tide. A hump is also occasioned
on the side of the earth
directly opposite the moon for at
that place the moon's attraction is
least (as that is the point farthest
from the moon on the earth,) consequently
the earth itself is pulled away
from thi6 water to some extent. Now
the water at the poles, or near them,
has to come to fill up this hump and
so the whole surface of the ocean
is changed in level. This tidal
phenomenon will finally cause the
earth to stop rotating relative to the
moon, so that the hump will always
then be sticking out in one spot only
and that will be toward the moon.
The earth's, attraction has already
made the moon stop rotating relative
to the earth and has caused a
hump several miles high on the
moon toward the $arth. Now a very
peculiar result is Jaused by this stopping
of the rotation of the moon on
its axis relative to the earth?that
is that we never see but one side of
.the moon. She always presents the
cotvio fano tn us and no man has ever
V V ?w ? ?
seen the other side.
The tidal friction caused by the
sun will finally stop the earth's rotation
relative to it. When that takes
place (and it has taken place with
one of the planets, possibly Venus,
there will be only one face of the
earth presented to the sun?so on
one side of the earth will be perpetual
sunshine and day and on the other
side perpetual night and darkness.
Suppose that the Western Hemisphere
were the one in which there
was daytime continually. Everything
would get so hot that the temperature
would be unbearable to
man, but other things would be
worse still. The dark side would be
very cold and the bright side very
hot, so there would be a terrific hurricane
blowing along the surface
from the dark side to the light, and
an equally terrific one blowing
through the air from the light side
to the dark. Also the light side
would be dry as dust for all the
water vapor would be condensed on
the cold side and it would consequently
be covered with ice and
snow. The only livable place would
be near the border between tne aara
and light sides and even there the
disadvantage of having the highest
winds would prevail. On the bright
side clouds of dust would always be
present and this would be continually
carried to the dark side. In fact
the extreme brightness of these dust
clouds is what decided the astronomers
in favor of the theory about
Venus.?By A. L. Hodges.
THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required to Win the j
People's Confidence 1
Have you ever stopped to reason ,
why it is that so many products that
are extensively advertised, all at
.once drop out of sight and are soon
forgotten? The reason is plain?the
article did not fulfil the promises of
the manufacturer. This applies more
particularly to a medicine. A medicinal
preparation that has real cura- .

live vaiuc aiumsi acuo nauu, uo I
an endless chain system the remedy
is recommended by those who have
been benefited, to those who are in !
need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take (
for example Dr. Kilmer's SwampRoot,
a preparation I have sold for
many years and never hesitate to recommend,
for in almost every case it
shows excellent results, as many of
my customers testify. No other kidney
remedy that I know of has so ]
larige a sale." J
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who 1
have used the preparation, the success
of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is ,
due to the fact that it fulfils almost
every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder diseases, corrects ,
urinary troubles and neutralizes the I
uric acid which causes rheumatism.
