First Tea Crop Sold. At Ciark-ston last week marketing was begun of the first crop of American led grown on a commercial aoalo. Twelve thousand pounds have been raifad on a plantation in Colleton county, a few miles from Charleston. For several years tea has been marketed from Plnehurst, the government experimental garden at Summerville, but the produot marketed today is the first of a purely commercial venture. The output next year promises to be very large. James Morrison was Instantly killed at Dillon on Saturday by the breaklag of a saw In a saw mill. KILLED HIMSELF. A COLOHED l'HEAOHRH CUT8 1IIS OWN XHHOAT. Was Pastor of a Methodist Church in Crangeburg for Past 1 wo Years. Ryv. O. P. Nelson, who had resided In Orangeburg as Pastor of the A. M. E. Churoh for the o??fc two year*, committed suloido on list T1 ursday morning scimtlmo between one auit two o'olock bv cutting bis threat, with a rtxor, which was found In his right baud when his body was dlsooverod by his wife a short time after he committed the terrible deed. When his body was tlist found it was seated In a cbvr, but soon fell to the tloor, where It remained until Thursday morning when the lr qutot was held. The budy was Krai discovered by the wlf* of the dead mau. who oocuplcrl ibo parsonage with him and one oblld. It seems that Nelson tried to com mit suloide Wernes^ay uaorr.uig by drinking laudanum, but thf j (T ?t fa 11?d hy an >ther oo)or<?d pr ?aohrr calling on Nolson and finding him vary drowsy aud smelling the lumen of the drug. In reply 10 tome enqu'^y Nels n said ne had takau a dose of the deadly flniOf *nrl Wmnnht. im v-- J * ? ? w..?..Rixu no HO'JI vfttr.vu too muoh. The visiting preacher summoned Nelsoa'8 wife nnd sho made and gave her husband a me strong ocffje in wbloia melted butter bad bo*a poured. This destroyed the eff ect of the laudanum and Nel ion roused up, seeming to be much better. The vltiilng minister then left. Nelsou remained in bed ah day Wednesday, and was attended by some of the members of his ohurob, who staid with him until about twelve c'o'ock Wednesday night, when ho was considered out of danger, although the etX ot of tho laudnuai vr;w still plain y vlsioio. It was not suspected then that Nelson bad attempted to take bis life. After tho visitors had left he got up and got his razor and cut his throat as above stated.? The cause of tho suicide was some crookod/ ti?:anclal transactions on tho pirt of Nelson. 11 is f?aid that during the past sum oner fhe trustees of the church acting undtr tin; acivoc of Nelsm sacurod ?\ loan on their property from ore of tho local holding and loan a'sociiticn8. The amount was 1500 and the officer0 o' the a4 3jciat:cn litatu thai NelBon toid them that the amount secured was to refclrn n fnrmor ? . IttUV UW eclntss. The trustee* of the ohuron ksay that they know nothing of fcae former mortgage but that It was their intention to secure ouly a loan of 9150 to satisfy outstanding bills for Insurance and for parsonage furniture, and that it was only recently that thf^y discovered they haa bigncci f jt a 1500 loan. They state that just before goir.g to conference, Nelson, iu oioslng tut year's work here, to?d r-bem tnat the Indebtedness was only 91EO and that he made the name statement at conference. It. is understood that severe. m.ctingB cf the tru-lccs have b'^en held since the matter became known a few days ago, and that when taxed with the matter on Monday cf last week Nalson stated that the difler tnoo between the indebtedness and tao amount of the loan bad been &i> propriated by himself on account of ihooburch failing to pay his saUry. It was Intimated that Nelion might he arrested an t it is presumed he preferred death to arrest and subsequent exposure. Nelson cimo here two yea?s ago with testimonials from prominent m?n all over the State: both wulte and colored, and on the strength of these was extended credit by various merchants in the city, and In m.st cases the bills were never pa'd Toe re was also considerable friction between him and bis congregation vfh'cb piobaoiy resulted in their nob paj lDg him in fui), and ts a result of this friction, the conference last week transferrau Nalson to Mayesvllle, to v/hioh char-re he was to have gono within the next rer days. Nelson w?.s probably 55 years of ego, was well ecucited and had held nomo of the bejuo appointments In the gift of hibohuroh- He had served as presiding older boforu rv ruing hero In various pans of the istaie.

I'ivultar Combination* Produced Tampering With Nature. Recent experiments by Governmont scientists in the application of both heat and cold to tho eggs, larvae and pupa* of butterflies have produced scats Interesting results. In this manner specimens of some varieties of butterflies, have been mndo to Imitate, In color and form, other varieties found in nature. The application of hoat causes a hastening of growth nnd development. Variations of moisture and dryness also produco perceptible effects on the growth and markings of the Inserts. Th? geuorul result of tho experiments goes to show that by the application of artificial coudtlons of temperature some of the natural forms peculiar to certain seasons or to certain localities may he Imitated, and forms may also be produced that occur only In exceptional cases and from time to time In nature. Moreover, through this motliod of cultivation forms of butterflies can bo produced which do not at present occur in nature, but which, It Is thought, may hare existed upon the earth at some past epoch In Its htstorv, or may be dostlned to appear through tho gradual unfolding of naturul processes lu the future. lluths of the Future.
