Camden, a. July Oil} }908 SENATORIAL CAMPAIGN meeting An audience variously osii united at 400 to 500 voters and a few ladies fucejd the candidates f or Senator, Congross and Solici tor or the SthCircyit last Friday the court house. The meet ing was called to order at 11 O clo^U by chairman T. J. K irk Jaud, mjt| wy,s opened with Ufyipev:^- A- Miioholl of * irst Baptist church. The first speaker was IJon, a Tolm Gary Evans, who speke in his usual forcible style. He palled attention to the fact that ?ho .South is paying annually .v?i .n#?? Pensio"s. *300,000, .1)00 but failed to point out that if lie was elected Senator, he would relieve us of this burden. The next speaker was John P ?5 race Esq., of Charleston (Demo prat; who, in a rich, rare and jacy speech, walked all over one of his opponouts, Mayor Khelt, also of Charleston. Mr <Crraco practically asserted that -it. Icliett was running under false colors, as instead of beiii" a democrat, he was really a rtH publican, J Mr. Qrace was followed by ?ol. George Johnstone, who de livered the most polished and statesman I i Ice address of the oc casion. Ilis remarks were large devoted to agriculture aud the currency quostiou, both of Which questions are of burning interest to all of our people. He received much and deserved /ipplauso. Col. W. W. Lumpkin, the irre. posible, followed, and lrept his jiudianco in a roar of laughter ^luring the entire period of his speech. IJe is in favor of "no liquor" which caused a number of his hearers to pull an awfully wry face. Mr. O. 13. Martin devoted his remarks to immigration, drain age and to his desire to raise the price of cotton if elected. He opposed immigration, favored ^drainage, and closed with the usual joke whioh caught the crowd. Mayor R. Goodwyn Rhott, ivho was next introduced, made a capital business talk which was well received. lf0 counter ed heavily on Mr. Grace on that republican business, and q i .closing, was roundly applauded, Mr. 10. 1). Smith was the last of the Senatorial candidates, and made unquestionably a splendid, talk. He devoted tho most of it to cotton, of courso, but a good )n any of his heareis seem to be Klill a In tie puzzled to know >vhut effect hisoleoiion will have on tho prioo of th" staple. His peroration was something mag nificent, and the applause lie re peived njust have been very gratifying to him. Messrs. Pollock aud Pinley both niacjo strong speeches, which wo.-o enjoyed bv the de ploted audiauco. (The hour be nig late a number of those pres p it in the morning had left for dinner). The four candidate for solici tor then made their initial bow to the publio in this campaign, all of whom received close at tention, and all of whom uc? quitted themselves well. Tho speeches or these gentle inen concluded Hie program, and the mooting ndlournei]. The ijext delightful occasion pf like character will come oir on J' riday, the ?Uh iust. , whon our people will be entertained by the pendulates for Slato offices from (Governor (]own.

WOOD'S LttKST FARM * t*,ta ?lie largest tract pt land own by * single person is proba bly m Mexico or some of the Qouth American States, where tracts containing hundreds of square miles are not unusual; but the largest producing farm in the world lies in the extreme southwest corner of Ivouisiana. Measuring 100 miles uorth and south and 23 miles east and west^ it is owned and operated by a syndicate of Northern capitalist. Tli? 1,500,900 acres of the tract were purchased in 1883 from the Qtate of Louisiuua, aud from the United States governmeut. At that time it was a vast grazing land for the cattle or the few dealers of the neighborhood, over 30,000 head of half-wild horses aud cattle being thereon. Now this immense tract is divided into convenient pasture stutious, or ranches, existing every six mile*. The fencing alone cost in the neighborhood of $50,000. The land is best adapted for rice, sugar, corn and cotton. All cul tivating and ditchiug is doue by steam power. A tract, say half a mile wide, is taken, and an engine is placed on each side, The ongincs are portable, and operate a cable attached to four plows, and under this arrange ment 30 acres a day are gone over with only the labor of three men. Harrowing, planting and other cultivation is doue in a like manner. There is not a sin gle draught horse on the entire place. Of course horses are used for the herders of the cattle, of which therci are 1G.000 head. The Southern Pacific Railway runs for 36 miles through the farm. The company has three steam boats operating on the waters of its estates, of which there are 300 miles navigable. They have also an ice-house, a bank, a shipyard and a rieo mill. Here is a Great Discovery. ; Chicago, July J. ? No more , "dust to dust" etoruity for the human body. Burial itself doue i away with and corpses turned , into statues, which will endure as long as marble or stone. Thoso are the wonders which Da vid J. Jilock, a letter carrier, professes to havo brought about by a patent matalizing process, perfected after eight years of experimenting in the modest Ut ile homemade laboratory at his dwelling, f>0 Plum street. Block declares that ho can turn the body of a man weighing 185 pounds into pure gold for ?;)15,000, and into pure silver for $200,000 "I havo a bronze," ho said 'permeating the flesh 1o a depth of only ono eigth of an inch which p in be dono for JfciJ.OOO and I can guarantee it to preserve a corpse intact for hundreds oi years. " Jt is a very startling Idea that Mr. Block lias sprung on the Patent ollioc and ho has- Rome samples of his work that are amazing, to say the least. Among them is a bunch of Ameri can Beauty roses, metalized live i years ago. They are hard as | rocks, but perfectly natural in coloring, and wlton ho oponed tho box to take them out, the scent appeared to bo as strong as it is in a fresh cut rose. Raising Turkeys. I have often thought of writ ing to give my experience in rais ing turkeys. I am very success ful and find it both pleasant and profitable. Oar orchard is on closed with wire, high enough to keep them from flying over, in this onolosure I have tho house for them; X build nests of boards, fill with fine straw and put them in different places in tho orchard, When it w time for them to begin laying (usually i^bout tlje |st of March) | drive them in tho orchard, keep them in all day and every day till they havo all mado nosts. After this they give no moro trouble about rambling. When they are ready to sot 1 1 put twenty two or twenty-three I eggs under each lien. If I can I 'HV* gut enough e^s to set all1 tbo bona at first I h*r* to Jay a eeoood live rhich will btipg in yoking tork?yi about tha 1st of June. . After tUy hatch 1 1 Imp tbera in the house for two or lliree days, then every day after the dew has dried I let tbe.n'out iu the orchard. I keep them in this enclosure for two or three weeks then the young turkeys are strong enough to follow the mothers over the fields, they will not boar too close confiuemont. I have them brought in every afternoou and uever in auy case let them stay in the rain. Keep them in the house every night until Septem ber wheu large enough put poles in the house for roosts. From the begiuing I feed tliem on cornbroad made with soda, salt, eggs and butter milk, keep fresh water and sweep the house every day, about once a week put fresh sand on tho floor. With this way of managing them I save work and those loug walks to find the nests. I hope my experience will be of some benefit to others. With best wishes for Aunt Jane and all tuo sisters. ? Mrs. W. A. Coots, in July IIoujo and Farm. A Dire Warning, --bout two mouths ago one of our fanner friends droppod in aud stopped 1ns paper. He said he couldn't afford to take it and just had to do without. He came in again last Saturday and planked down $1.50 for a year in advance, then heaved a sigh of relief. Everything had gone wrong since lie had stopped it, His chickens refused to lay, his cows got on the alfalfa and died, and his hogs took the cholera, The rals gnawed holes iu his granary, his wheat ran out an 1 tho birds ate it up. IIis wind mill blew over and killed a horse, aud his best sheperd dog got u bone in ljis throat and choked to death. His children got the measles and his wife mashed liei thumb in tho wringer and couldn't do any housework. Thieves broke into his smoke house and stole his winter's sup ply of meats and tiro destroyed several stacks of alfalfa. He bought groceries of a traveling fakir and never got them, while his neighbor escaped becauso he read in tho paper to watch out for crooks. His days woro tilled with misfortune and his nights with bad dreams. Ho stood it two months aud then gave up the unequal struggle. ? Qsborue Far mer. War Is Hell. "Considering tho enormous naval araments piled up by every nation, it must como as a shock to be told there is no pro vision for the wounded on the war ships of today. Men must lio where they fall, with in juries iullnitely worse than any inflicted by rifle, sword or bay o net of land warfare, aud this be cause every inch of available space is taacn up in the Hunt ing fortress of today. A war ship, the authorities would say, is a lighting machine and has i o time or pluce for useless men. True, tho war ship carries sur yoous, but these must be put out. of harm's way during tho in ferno of an action, just when they are most needed, and only released when all is over? that is, if the ship is afloat. It is true sho has a sick buy, but tho sick bay in all modern ships is absolutely untenable in actual warfare. A first class luttlo ship like the Connecticut, Kan sas, or Liouisiaua, carries about seven hundred and lifty men, and the sick berth has accommoda tions for perhaps eight cots and sixteen hammocks, and there is no provision to take care of more. There is no space below for doc. tors or wounded and, if there were space, there could neither bo air nor light through tho shutting oil of the bulkheads. Worso still, tho vast- boilets would ronder Hie air intolerable. When a modern war ship is cloarod for action every open- 1 ing is rigidly closed up, except thoso between the magazines and the lighting stations, and so the wounded must lie were they full" ?
