"Pelorus Jack" la the same of mm old dolphin which la protected by m apeclal act of the New Zealand legis lature. j According to an Australian colonist. JJeorge Hayes, the official proclama tion of the government prohibits mmj . Interference with Pelorus Jack under a penalty of ?100. Forty years ago, when Mr. Hayes Brat emigrated, to Australia, he heart an old sailor'a tale, according to which a shoal of dolphins grounded on the shores of Cook Strait, and one of them eacaped Into the sea. That one. which Is now acknowledged to be Pelorus Jack, never left the locality, whero he lost his compsnlons, and, ?s Mr. Hayes saya, "he is now pro tected by lnw as he haa always been by sentiment." ? The moat remarkable fact of all Is the reason for tho passage of the law, which Is that Pelorua Jack acta as a most effective pilot, escorting nil kinds of vessels In snd out of the French Pass, Cook Strait, always keeping to deep water. For years he was believed to be a beluga, or white whale, but recent scientific Investigation has shown that he in really a dolphin. An he I9 ncret absent from his duties the proclama tion has been received with keen sat Isfaction throughout Australssia by sailors who have to u.e the French Pass. r? ? - "" Overworking a Typewriter.

Prof. Head had the sensory nerves of his arm divid ed, and then ho watched the sensa tions that followed. Then he had the nerves reunited by stitching, and he watched the process of recovery. The results was that he discovered' that there are two distinct sets of sensory nerves. Ono conveys the sensations of pain, heat and cold. The other con veys the sensntlon of touch, and also enables one lo localise the eeasatlon* accurately. The healing power of the skin depends entirely on the former. ?Evening 8un.

A Darlington special to the Charlotte Observer of Saturday, gives the fol lowing atrange story: "I don't know what went with the money." confessed the attorney for Robert Keith Dargan. the man whom a coroner's Jury pronounced a suicide on July 11th. "We have not been able to discover much but debts. .It does not seem that he had 8100 when he died." Thla whole sectlod of South Carolina Js under Intense excitement over the report that the supposed suicide is not dead at all and that the alleged swful tragedy of July 10th was a farce. They say that a man who was connected with the. Independent Cotton Oil Com pany* and who Is now In Prance, car ried the money away with him. The Company was capitalized at 81,000.000 and was supposed to be worth more. It was a tremendous concern. The im posing sign, hung above the first stair landing to Its offices, read: "General Offices the Darlington Oil Company, Anson Oil and Ice Company. Chesterfield County Oil Company, the Marlon Oil Mill Company, Manning Oil ttid Illuminating Company, Farmer*' Cotton Oil Company. Robert Keith Dargan, General Manager." Mr. Dargan has been general mana ger for years. The by-laws, adopted by the directors, gave him virtually un limited power, and nobody knew much about the business except himself. At each successive meeting of the direc tors. even at their late meeting in June, they adopted resolutions affirming and re-affirming their complete confidence In Dargan. The stockholders thought the big combination immensely pros perous on account of the ham:6ome dividends they received*?dividends, it is said, which Invaded the capital stock. This history, together with the re port that Dargan went to Paris two years ago and had a waxen Image made of himself, and another that bis broth er, Pegram, had been for several years studying hypnotism and occult arts In the North; the fact that the coro ner did not go In with his jury to view the corpse and the rumor that he said after the burial that he could not swear that Dargan was dead; that W F. D?r gan ordered out of the mansion two men who had come with the jury to see the body; that the grave wus bricked and cemented; that there wss a gener al effort to avoid publicity on the night of the tragedy, and other rumors and reports too numerous to recount, con stitute the .basis for the widespread suspicion that It was a put-up job. So frantic has gossip grown that a tel ephone message went abroad that the grave had been opened and found empty. The coroner tells me that on the night of the 10th, when he got to the office where the deed was done, ho found the front door and partition door locked. In the back room were Pegram Dargan, Dr. Edwards and the dead man. The dead man's jaws were tied with a towel to prevent his mouth from falling open. He was sitting In an easy chair with his feet upon a book case. Dr. Edwards said that he was dead when first examined by him. Both W. F. and Pegram Dargan asked the coroner If he recognised the corpse, and he replied that he did, and thai it was Robert Keith Dargan. They told him that they did not want a crowd to collect or any publicity, and ho agreed that they might remove the corpse to the mansion. When they were taking It up to bear It to the car rlsge at the door, the coroner offered to assist them, but Pegram objecte:!. The coroner thrust an arm under the body.anyhow while they were lifting It Into the carriage . It had not yet. he snld. grown cold. This was the last time the coroner saw the dead man. "If I had the authority." he said, "I would have the grave opened. "It's the shortest way to stop all this talk." Must Servs His Sentence. The State supreme court last week handed down a decision In the case of the State against John Recder, charged with murder. The accused was tried for having shot and killed How ard Stevens In the city of Newberry on the 14th of June, 1904. The case was tried before James Y. Culbreth, speclpl judge, and the accused was convicted and, upon recommendation to mercy, was given a life sentence. A motion for a new trial was overruled, and an ap peal was taken. The supreme court yes terday handed down its decision sus taining the lower court, and the con victed man will be brought to the State prison to serve his sentence. SO Yaara For Attempted Assault. Sumter, 8. C.. Special.?Jesse Nelson, the negro who was arrested Monday foi an attempted criminal assault on a white woman Sunday, was found guilty and given the extreme limit of the law. 80 years, besides the unexplie I pait of a sentence from which he es caped recently for another crlrnc.

To Meet In Spartanburg. The commission authorized by the general assembly last winter In regard to the workings of the dispensary sys tem met In Columbia and proceeded to make arrangements for the first of the open sessions at which testimony will be taken. All of tho members of the commission were piepent but nothln; was done at the meeting except a stnlo ment was given out that a meetlnc will be held In Spartanburg on the Xth of August and that the meeting will be open, as this v:Ml bef'n the examina tion of witnesses. ?cUIIMNM TK IISKNSAIY ' / K*Senat?r Icon* The Stats Uqwor ImtitiitiM In ?trtMig Tamw. Columbia State. A great mMUnf was held at Dillon Tuesday. It was a farmers' meeting, ?nd was addressed by several promi nent speakers, who discussed the questions of the day. At length the dispensary came in for a share of In teresting talk. This was occasioned by the reply of former 8onator McLaurln to some questions which were submitted to blm daring the course of his speech. It wss understood by- some the meeting was to be held under the aus pices and In the Interests of the South ern Cotton Association, with politics entirely eliminated. This rule had been adhered to by Mr. R. P. Hamer and Senator R. I. Manning, the two first speakers. The Dispensary. Former Senator McLaurln had spok en for about ten minutes, following these lines also, when a 'gentleman from the audience approached the plat form and handed the speaker a paper. Having finished his sentence, Mr. Mc Laurln read the paper, then read It to the audience, and the paper In ques tion was'as follows: "Senator: At our committee meeting yesterday we decided we were all of one acord on the cotton question, hav ing read much on the subject and hav ing many able speakers who will fol low you here today. For that reason we decided that wo would remind you that the burning question of tho hour with us Is and will be for the Immedi ate future, dispensary or no dispen sary, and if you have no serious ob jections we would like to hear your r?ews on the subject. What do you tniuk of ilio dispensary laws as It is writ on the statute books of this State, and as it has been, is, and probably will be. as long as it is a law, executed by those in authority?" Signed: W. T. Bethea, W. M. Hamer, E. L. Moore, E. R. 1 lamer. Wade Stack house. Mr. McLaurln said that he had been charged by some as'being a politician, and this subject was one that politi cians arc now dodging pretty skill fully, but that he had stayed in Wash ington long enough to got above that. He had never failed to expressed his opinion upon any public question, and if they wanted to hear him discuss tho dispensary law he would do so. The crowd at once vociferously sig nalized a desire for this very thing, and the speaker warmed up so in stantaneously that he began by say ing: "if you'll excuse me. 1 11 shed a cellar." Collar and tie at once came off. and all the forces at the speaker's command were brought to bear upon the subject. Mr. McLaurln, in un measured terms, condemned the entire system, from Its very beginning. He had no good word for it, but condemn ed it as a reproach upon the State, a reproach that time could sot efface. He paid sarcastic reference to "the sage of Trenton and his quiet dairy farm," and drew a parallel from Louis XV and his guillotine to "our 'grand monarch* whose destruction is before him." The chairman called time on the speaker twice, but amid great ap plause he was asked to continue. The second time he was called the crowd again shouted for him to continue and when Mr. F. II. Weston gave him Ave minutes of his time and Mr. F. H. Hyatt followed with a similar state ment. the speaker continued amid re newed cheers and applause. Farmers Rally at Aiken. Aiken. Special.?There will be a meeting of the Cotton Growers' Asso ciation of Aiken county at the court house next Saturday'at 11 o'clock. All the Aiken county clubs are invited to r.ttend and every citizen, no matter what his calling may be, who is inter ested in the prosperity of the South, Ik invited to attend and Join tho as sociation, the cost of doing so being only 25 cents per annum. The matter of building a cotton warehouse in Ai ken will be discussed and It Is believed that the plans for doing so will be perfected.

Woolsey, president of ihe association, extends a cordial in vitation to all and hopes that every farmer In Aiken county will be pres ent.

Spartanburg, Special.?Work on tho new building, which will bo an ex tension of the Wofford Collcgo Fitting school, has begun. This will bo a very attractive and substantial struc ture. two stories high, of brick, con taining Ave class rooms and an as sembly hall. The old building will bo used as a dormitory.

Special.?A negro boy baby was found dead here Tuesday morning. It is thought that Its death was caused from ill treatment or criminal neglect. I' was a month old and had whooping cough for about a week. Its mother wan airested and tried about two weeks ago for deserting her child In I nngley. She was cleared of the charge and fqrcej to bring the child back to Aiken.

The rain tall was heavy along the coast and ex cessive in Deauforrt county. Orer the greater part of the state the numerous showers and the cloudy weather kept the ground too wet to work, and delayed the laying-by of field crops. Some fields of corn and cotton have sgaln become grassy and are in urgent need of cultivation. Cotton grew very fast In all sections, but did not fruit In proportion. The plants have generally attained normal growth and in many ^places have grown too large, but, with the exception of Hampton county, where the rains caus ed the plsnts to torn yellow, they have a good, healthy color, but are soft snd sappy. There are some complaints of shedding square* and of black-root and rust on sandy lands, and of dam age from Insects, but on the whole a general Improvement is noted. The crops need fair weather. Some bottom land corn was damag ed, otherwise there was a general Im provement in the condition of corn, especially of late plantings. Tobacco curing is general; late tobacco made rapid growth, but the crop promises to be short. June rice Is receiving its first cultivation. Gardens improved. Peas doing well.

Columbia, Special.?The spcclal in vestlgating committee appointed by the last Legislature to Inquire into the finances of Greenville county, with special regard to the supervisor's of fice, is rapidly developing a sensation of large proportions. Following the arrest, on Saturday as he was about to board a train for North Carolina, of young Arthur Speegle, son of the ex-supervlsor, whose books are said to show various forms of criminal ir regularities, on a warrant sworn out by Chairman Avery Patton, of the In vestigating committee, charging young Cpeegie with obtaining money under false pretenses by fraudulently draw ing more salary than the act entitled him to. Governor Heyward has receiv ed a request from the committee for requisition papers for the father, Mr. J. E. Speegle, who is at Henderson vllle, where he is said to be in a dy ing condition. The committee did not mention any particular charges against J. E. Speegle. The Governor was merely Informed that the requisition was desired in connection with the Investigation. Young Spceglo has been released on a bond of $1,000. Half a doien other arrests of promin ent people are oxpccted to follow at Greenville this week. A storm of local politics has been raging about the supervisor's ofllco for some time. At the lust election the friends of the defeated condidate. Walker, who was counted out in tho primary, and in whose behalf neither the State executive committee nor tho courts would interfere, went Into the general election, after Senator Till man had taken a hand in the matter and advised them not to do so, and elected Walker on the Independent ticket. Speegle's friends claim that thfl work of the committee Is largely inspired by politics and that he will be able to satisfactorily explain every thing and account for all moneys. In the meantime the committee is pro ceeding. to unearth things. A liveryman called upon to explain why he was given $1,145 for a certain Job. showed his books to prove that he had received only $340. The com mittee is looking for the $805, and is also trying to find out the wherefore of an employe of the county receiving pay, at $20 per month, for 19 months In 1902 and 18 months In 1904. The committee Is also trying to find out why 40 bushels of corn meal a month was charged to the county almH house, whereas the present supervisor only uses 16 bushels at this place; why Blacksmith J. Rowley Smith, son of a well-konwn politician, was paid $1,689 for 760 pairs of shackles and how it was a county physician got In $2,000 worth of services to a gang of 20 men in the course of a year. Taken to Columbia. Columbia, Special.?8heriff Epper son of Sumter county, arrived in Co lumbia 8unday night, with Jim Faylor, a 19-year-old negro boy, in custody. The negro Is charged with attempting criminal a assault, upon Miss Wilson at the Betts lumber mill about three miles from Sumter, and was brought here and placed in the penitentiary for safe keeping. Expected Lynching Averted. Columbia, Special.?Governor Hey ward received a telegram from Sumter stating that there was danger of a lynching there, that the mob searching for assailant of Miss Wilson, at Betts' lumber mill, had captured a suspect, who. It was satisfied, was the guilty man and that the sheriff had gone to the scene. A suspect named John Tay lor was brought here for safe-keeping. There was no lynching nt Sumter, as this message received later shows. AIDS KATUBE'S WORK EFFECT OF ACETYLENE RAYS ON GROWTH OF PLANTS. ?? Tmtmm As * ?? ?*?>??" Tl?"IT Fee Tkto WeW Ml BMatllM The experiments recently made at Cornell University prove that the beau tiful riyi fro in the gat, acetylene, are aa effective aa sunlight on the growth of planta. and this may soou become n aabject for serious consideration by ail progressive cultivators of the xoll. The results of the experiments ere astonishing, Inasmuch as they show conclusively the great increase of growth attained by aupplcmenting The Light of Nature" with "The Light of Acetylene" during the hours In which the plauta would otherwise be In darkness. For instance, a certain number of radish plants subjected to acetylene light during the uight grew to twice the actual weight of the same number of radishes given daylight only, all other conditions being equal, and peas had blossomed and partially ma tured pods with the help of acetylene light, while without the added light not even buds were apparent. * Acetylene la already taking its place as an lllnmlnant for towns from a cen tral plant, for lighting houses, churches, schools and Isolated buildings of ail kinds, and It is being used successfully for many other purposes. A striking and Important feature of acetylene Is the ease and small expense with which It can be made available compared with the great advantages derived from Its use. The machine in which the gas is generated la easily In stalled. Shoemaker* Once Were Well Paid. Thirty years ago, when all shoes were made by hand, the shoemaker earned a fair salary of from $12 to $16 per week. Every shoe shop had from live to ten shoemakers working. Shoes and boots cost from $8 to $ir?, and they received much more repair ing than do the shoes of to-day. Now girls are working In the factories and hundreds of good shoemakers are look ing for something to eat. Over half of the shoemakers who formerly worked in the shops arc working at other linen of business, and making more money. A Journeyman cobbler seldom makes more than $S or Id per week. One may wonder why it is that the cobbler nearly always finds a mean, dirty hole to crawl Into and to call It a repair shop. The fact Is. he can toot afford to pay much rent. In the average shoe shop In the good seasons ?spring and summer?he can do $4 worth of repairing a day, and not more than $6 if he works In the night time. Four dollars per day and six days a week make $24 per week. DISFIGURING ULCER FtopU Looked at Her In A ma semen f? Pronounced Incurable? Face Now Clear? ?a Kver?Thanks God For Cntlcura. Mrs. P.
