I send in ?u a few lines. Our party left home fr me 13th, at 11 a. m., and reached ishville, Tenn., June 14th. at 7 a. ti ., where we spent the day visiting li irious points of interest. Leaving Pi ishville we came by St. Louis, fa here we crossed the Mississippi le ver. and from there to Kansas City, bi e saw many acres of fine wheat and ft her grain; also saw many fine e< >rses and cattle. We were in Kan- sc s City only about one hour. Leav- r< g that city we traveled over 600 in iles before we reached Denver, pass- 01 g through prairie lands, seeing ai any prairie dogs and rabbits. After ta lending one night and part of one ft iv "seeing Denver" we came on to jlorado Springs, where we stopped te r a few days seeing the great a ghts near that place; one of which si as a trip up Pike's Peak on a cog t iad. The altitude of Pike's Peak is b< 1,14 7 feet above sea level and is u: ways covered with snow. Before e reached the summit we passed P1 rough where the snow had been n; it out of the road bed, to the depth di six to ten feet. The snow was so la ose to the car window that I reach- 01 I my hand out and filled it with ei iow. We had much fun snow ball g. This was June 19th. Pi After leaving Colorado Springs, is ine 21st, we passed through the w oyal Gorge, a sight indescribable, oi ar train through the gorge consist- t( I of one baggage car, two diners, u le day coach, 10 pullmans and one| a; iservation car, pulled by two large N lgines. We reached Salt Lake City 7 a. ., June 22nd, saw Brigham Young's ave and monument and saw the ^ eat Mormon temple, visited the ounds and went in the Mormon bernacle and heard a musical re- A tal on that wonderful pipe organ. c< 'e also went over and took a look ti Salt Lake. ' tl Leaving Salt Lake City at 6:45 p. oi .. the same day, we reached Yel- A wstone Park early in the morning f? June 23rd and are making a tour ie the park in hacks drawn by horses. si 'e will leave the park tomorrow J; ght, after having traveled about] pi 15 miles in hacks, taking in the ] b' ghts of the park.

A AT HOME FOR SIXTY YEARS. tl ?? tl isters Have Spent All Their Lire6 s< on Georgia Farm. P a: In the year 1835 T. M. .McKleduff d icked his belongings and with his o ife and children left his South Caro- n: aa home and emigrated to Georgia, g e settled on a.farm 3 miles from; a hat was at that time a broad place fi . the road, but what is now Winder,! e: ie proud, hustling little business ! n mtre of North Georgia. Of a fami- j tl of seven all are dead but two girls, j li hese two girls have never married,; p jver been ten miles from the place; t< pon which old man .McKleduff set-i si ed and were never inside'of a rail- cl >ad coach. b In 1865 Gus Adams, colored, eed as the result of the fight be-, ir keen the States left the Stanton, li tAAlr n rv hie raciHanpp nn ' CI le plantation of McKleduff. He and ei is family are there today. , 11 Gus now owns 45 acres of the, * iginal plantation, and piece by 10 iece the big plantation has been sold, S T until about 50 acres of the old ( d omestead is all that remains.

Joke on tlie Professor. s' 1 n A professor of natural philosophy! h l a certain college gave the class a J a roblem to think over during the J ight and answer the next morning. l> he question was this: "If a hole si as bored through the centre of the irth from side to side and a ball ropped into it, would it come to a 1 ti ate of rest?" | U Next morning a student was called p on this philosophical problem. tl "What answer do you give this g uestion?" asked the professor. i a "Well, really," said he. "I have not: tl lought of the main question, but a' q reliminary one. How are you go- [ p lg to get that hole through?" j d TOBACCO AT BRANCHVILLK. bout 100 Acres Planted, and Waiehouse Will Be Built. l>i The raising of tobacco is being at-; yar mpted again in this county with Den ;ry good success in the vicinitv of j 01a ranchville. Several farmers in thatiKhr (Ction of the county have underken the growing of this plant, and I ST.ley have been so successful that it understood that a warehouse is to ? erected at Branchville and a buy- rec1 is to be at Branchville at the open- S g of the season, about a month om this time. According to reports received from le Branchville section, something ke one hundred acres have been :anted in tobacc? by progressive irmers. The crop is now in excelnt shape and promises to make a :g yield. The crop is almost ready; su" > gather, and barns will be provid- Pre i for the curing of the crop. As sPe >on as this has been done it will be! me >ady for market. For the market-1 re^ ig of the crop a company has been j siv' rganized to erect a large warehouse, I an^ id buyers will be in Branchville to! cou ike the crop as soon as it is ready mil >r market. ? This is the first time that an at- ^P jmpt at raising tobacco on so :z ^er oflolo hoc moHo in thia pnnntv i SBf nee something like twelve or fif- tee ?en years ago. At that time a num- stn sr of farmers throughout the county j boa ndertook to raise the crop, but were an^ ot very successful. Since the Euro- ^ ean war, the necessity for more ^lee loney crops in the South has been thr emonstrated, and in addition to the tee irge quantity of grain planted, an- anc ther attempt at tobacco was consid- au> *ed wise. S If the attempt at Branchville rio roves as successful as it now prom- an< es, it is expected that next year do ill see a considerably larger number I acres in this crop, and from year gui > year the crop will be enlarged ntil it will be equally as important ^ 5 cotton.?Orangeburg Evening ish ews. 00( the USE XO STOVES. 81, ton atln-Americans Get Along Chiefly 1 With Charcoal. anc I sincerely doubt if in art of Latin- ton raerica one would find a hundred *ng jok stoves of the kind the average imily in the United States has in totl ie kitchen. Neither are-there many il or gasolene stoves, writes W. E. ^ ughinbaugh, in Leslie's Weekly. A lan iw of the hotels, restaurants, baker- api ;s and homes of the very wealthy in sid< ich cities as Buenos Aires, Rio dej meiro, Montevideo, Santiago, Val- j ^a; araiso and Lima may posses ranges, I l^a ut they come from France. j the Cooking for families as well as for; Bri ther purposes is chiefly done with! tha iarcoal. the pots, pans and kettles shc isting over a hole in a backed clay tha r cement shelf underneath which 1 re the glowing coals. While this is ed ither primitive it answers the pur- ^*ei ose and is especially advantageous wa i that it gives off but little heat. | nother reason for the charcoal i c^a :ove is the scarcity of coal deposits reg iroughout Latin-America. With str ie exception of Mexico, Peru and t^ie >uthern Argentina, Uruguay ana 'os: eru have a few peat bogs, such *ha s one sees in Ireland, but they are m ifficult of access and consequently f use only to the people in their imlediate vicinity. Plenty of fast- an( rowing trees and bushes, however, no re found almost everywhere and tl01 nm these the native charcoal burn- has rs make the fuel so much in de- of land, taking it to market either on cos leir own backs or on burros. Famies buy a sack at a time, and poorer ( eople a handful, which is sufficient cor ) cook their simple meal. The cook . 1 Ilcll tarts the fire by pouring over the. ma hunks of charcoal a little kerosene efore applying the match. j ^ In the hotels and fine homes cook-J ma lg utensils are generally of copper,; j co r i other places the$* are, as a rule,|_ rude, simple and few.

J. ) ird, who, being each duly and severall iworn to and subscribed before me LOSSES OF NAVIES. .rships Destroyed Total 460,000 Tons and Cost $175,000,000. < ^.fter ten months of war the losses ?ered by the contending navies sent some interesting points for culation, says the Journal of Com- < rce. affording a comparison of thej i itive merits of tne various oneu? weapons in the naval struggle, i I showing how costly it is to the ; ntries concerned to indulge in lor encounters. Summarizing the losses under es of vessels. Great Britain and allies haveHieen deprived of the vices of eight battleships, fourn cruisers, four gunboats, six defers, ten submarines, fourteen its and six armed merchantmen I auxiliaries. The losses of Germany and her al i consist of one battleship, twentyee cruisers, fifteen gunboats, thirn torpedo craft, six submarines I twenty armed merchantmen and :iliaries. Separating the losses under the vaus causes, neglecting auxiliaries ? I armed merchantmen, the torpehas destroyed 131,000 tons of al1 vessels, the mine 50.000 tons, l-fire 27,000 tons and 22,000 tons T e been lost in various other ways, rhe German, Austrian and Turkfleets have been deprived of 13,) tons of war vessels by means of torpedo, 23,000 tons by the mine. ^ 000 tons by gun-fire and 23,000 w s from various other causes. vi rhese figures show that England ai 1 her allies have lost 230,000 tons ^ V , , s of naval hgntmg material cusi- ? approximately $100,000,000, 3t ile the Teuton and Turkish losses s? al 140,000 tons, worth about $60,- y( ),000. el The figures also show that miscel- r eous losses officially recorded are >roximately the same on both st es, while from torpedo, gun and le the British and their allies in re lost nearly double the ti nnage is t their opponents have los* by tl i same' causes. By torpedo the tl tish losses are ten times more 01 n those of the other side, which | ai iws clearly how important a part w t weapon plays. / d; n gun-fire England has establish- ol a long lead, chiefly because the j lc rraan ships at large when the war j tl s declared have been destroyed a< this means. In the armed mer- el intmen and auxiliary class the net w ister tonnage of allied ships de- s< oyed amounts to SO,000, while ai i German. Austrian and Turkish w ses stand at approximately double st ,t figure. The total financial loss this instance amounts to about 1,000,000. fhus ten months of skirmishing I preliminary actions, leading to w definite result so far as the ques- d: n of naval supremacy is concerned, tt > brought about the destruction a about 4 60.000 tons of warships a: ting $175,000,000. fii g( Concerning the Spellers. Q] Confident of his ability to spell1 bi rectly all the words in his ordi-;r( y English vocabulary, a business i y, n in Fort Wayne. Ind., has a nding offer to pay his secretary ^ each for every word found in his nuscripts incorrectly spelled ac- ' ding to the Detroit Free Press. ere may or may not be many will to make such an offer, for good j 1 sufficient reasons, some of whicn j worth a little brief consideration. !n the first place, ability to spell cc rectly a large number of words is 9 i of course to careful initial educarial training in the origins, compo- p, on, meanings and structures of rds. But it must be admitted that si s more than this. It may be said gi be a faculty or gift. For some UJ hly educated persons are indifferspellers. Some years ago the ai id of a widely known middle-west ^ titution of learning, a man fa- ~ liar with four or five languages 1 many branches of learning, was oriouslv poor in spelling, so much that printers were always warned watch carefully when handling his nuseript. Spelling is not constant, at is. there are many changes as years go hv in the spelling of va-j us words. So, however well equip-! I educationally one may be, or vever well developed one's spell- j faculty may be. it is absolutely! essarv to be a wide, constant read- ! to keep pace with the fashions in s respect. llendale Spring water on sale at rdaugh's Grocery Store.?adv. ; \i. ,v;- ;... .

'hlch is the most useful, the man ho gives his all in energy to serce or he who conserves his forces id though prolongs his days? He ves most who accomplishes most; :tivity in useful, productive or conructive effort is the real test of life, lys the umana wee. L.engin 01 jars may content some, but restless, aergetic souls will press forward, igardless of time, striving for a goal ley may never attain, but always riving, and these only really live. Life insurance presidents, being iterested in the prolongation of extence of risks, bend their efforts to ie teaching of elements of living, le avoidance of excesses, exposures r unneccessary risk of any kind, ad in this way really serve the orld, because they increase the protective years of man. As a result f modern methods man really lives inger and better, but this is not ie all-in-all of life. To live is to be nive, to have a part in the creative Tort of mankind, regardless of hether the span be long or short, > long as it is busy, for "an end is a end, whether it cometh on the ingged heels of a week or the dull :retch of a century."
