A funeral, with all the necessary accoutrements, except the most important of all, the corpse, was the strange situation at Eldora, Pa Undertakers, pallbearers, mourners, : friends, preachers, carriages, a full funeral cortege in fact were there, but no body to be buried. The "re mains" had been lost on tho way ^ from Lancaster, and could not be found. The funeral was that of a colored woman, Annie Boyer, who died in Lancaster. The body was carried by trolley to Quarryville and was to have been transferred to the Lancaster, Oxford & Southern railroad, thence taken to Eldora station. In some unaccountable manner this transfer slipped up, and when the ^ funeral party boarded the train the body was left on the trolley. Final' ly the undertaker arranged to drive back to Quarryville, where the missing casket was found at the trolley ' depot, and after a delay of six hours the services were held as originally j planned.

Twenty-five of These So-Culletl Social Clubs Or|{ani/.<>(l 'Since the First of the Year. The Columbia correspondent of il"> A ufruufn f'li rntilcli, HilVR ?ilW(? tllft first of the year twenty-five "Sociai Clubs" have been chartered by the secretary of State. Taking the "social club" in its generally accepted term, it means that although South Carolina will be dry In name, nevertheless in realty it will he very wet and it is very improbable that any of the thirsty will suffer. These "social clubs" are located in all sections of the State, especially in Columbia and Charleston. The "social clubs" are supposed to have a number of members and a few lockers on the wall, however, it is not very much trouble for a man to gain admittance and buy any kind of a drink that he desires. A won Known souin uantnniau said a fow days ago in speaking of ilie "social clubs,'' "South Carolina will herald to the world tomorrow that it is dry, yet it is possible for anybody to buy a drink in many of the towns of the State and Columbia and Charleston are wide open, as the common expression goes. Now it seems to me that it is up to the ofllcers to got in behind these men in charge of the "Social Clubs," and if we are to have prohibition, let's have it straight." Mr. J. T. Clnntt, when secretary of State, jn his report of 1005 to the legislature says: "I would suggest that you would adopt some niesaure that would correct the abuse of the privilege of incorporation by certain clubs or social organizations which notoriously use their charters to cloak the illegal sale of liquor. I am advised that this otllce acts in a ministerial capacity in granting charters, and that, except in the case of railroad corporations, no authority is attempted by law to be given to reject an application for a charter for any purpose whatsoever, wnen tne requirements 01 rne law are complied with. I would suggest that you confer the power upon this office to refuse to grant a charter, to a club or social organization, in the event that the chief State constable tiles an affidavit that he has reason to believe the applicants intend to violate the dispensary law." The legislature took no action upon the above suggestion. The "Social Club" Act. The following is the act passed by the legislature under which the "Social Clubs" are chartered: "Section 1. lie it enacted by the general assembly of the State of South Carolina, the secretary of State is hereby authorized and empowered to issue certificates of in corporation to any church, college, school, lodge, society, company or other association, having no capital stock divided Into shares, but holding or desiring to hold property in common for religious, educational, social, fraternal, charitable, or eleemosynary purposes other than for the insurance of life, health, accident, or property. "Section 2. Any lodge, church, college, school, society, association or company organized for the purpose aforesaid, may after giving at least three 'days public notdce In one or more newspapers published in the county in which the organization is perfected, file in the oflice of secretary of State, a written declaration signed by two or more of the officers or agents elected or appointed to supervise or manage its affairs, setting forth, first: The nnnine nnrl rocldnnnn t\f t tin r?r?HHrvn_ ers; second, (he name of the proposed corporation; third, the place at which it proposes to have its headquarters or he located; fourth, the purpose of the proposed eorpo1 ration; sixth, the names and residences of all ofiicers, managers trustees, directors or other olllcers or agents of the proposed corporation at the time the application is made; such other information as ii I may desire or the secretary of State may require."

Ry It llumau Necessities, Human Comfort and tiio Relief of Human Toil Will be Assisted. Ulpon the farmer and his successful cultivation of his lands rests the prosperity of this and all other countries. Tnerefore, the most important problem that should engage the Interest of man is that having to do with the most elllcient culti vuiion oi in? son, iiitiHiii^ il cusit'i for th?> farmer to produce the crops that are required to feed the peoples of all lands. In other words, is the Greenville News says, to retain the fertility of the soil at its highest possible ratio there is an all-important proposition with which science must wrestle continuously till it shall have achieved his purpose. All the resources of the natural chemistry of the earth aiul air have been utilized in practice. The chemistry of the factory, too, has done much to add to the farmer's availing. Yet nothing keeps adequate pace with the fatal march of necessity. Were there no other proof of this fact, the steadily augmenting cost of all articles of food and of the raw material of manufacture suflices for conviction. "Trusts" and monopolies, however, they may have sinned against the interests of the ultimate consumer, can be logically charged with only a minor moiety of the burden. Until the vast storehouse of nature can be unlocked more efliciently in the permanent enrichment of the soil, there will be only spasmodic relief. 1 iy tar tne most imporiuiiL m i nothings which must ho added to the soil to keep it at its highest level of production are those known as nitrates, which carry a great hulk of nitrogen as the main constituent. Nitrogen is the essential food of all plants, and especially of the food plants known as cereals. This, as supplied hy barnyard and various artificial manures, by rotation of crops and by the new process to which our own agricultural department has so largely contributed, soil-inoculation by nitrogen-producing tubercles at present sums up nearly what has been practically achieved in the all-important aim. Hut a new hope, almost illimitable in Its outlook and importance, has been opened to humanity. It has already more than satisfied laboratory tests; and there is the soundest reason to believe that beforo many years shall have passed, there will be a boundless supply of nitrogen in its purest form for the use of the farmer. This will not only be inirnlnnhlik in u-iil-on rich men t. but it will also greatly lessen agricultural labor by lessening the need of constant warfare on weeds. Sir William Croones in 1 899 declared that the economical extraction of nitrogen from the air was one of the greatest discoveries awaiting the labors of the chemist. The exhaustion of the world's immediate store of nitrates is placed by competent students as within the coming half century. With the exhaustion the effect on the world's needs and industries will be disastrous. At the recent International Congress of Chemists one of the German members fully demonstrated Professor Otto Schonherr's new process of extracting nitrogen from the air by experiments neiore tne congress. Without entering in detail into the scientific process, except that it is effected by the agency of high temperatures made practicable by electricity, it may be said that it was received by the great body of scientific critics as thoroughly practical in its working theory; however, further experimentation may cheapen the cost of production. As fourfifths of the atmosphere is nitrogen mixed mechanically with oxygen, its successful elimination on a cheaj ! and, of course, inexhaustible scale will solve a vast problem to the in } tlnie betterment of the human race t The gist of the matter, as it nov 3 stands, is that the Schonherr dis covery offers in itself or in thos< finer modifications which the stim ulus of the inception will unqucs tionably furnish to chemical experi ment, a practical certainty that th ^ | desideratum is within reach, whicl will have a boundless value in th fertilization of the earth, whic > would otherwise reach a slowly t starving condition in Its adjustmen n to expanding human needs. Th ,f cheap production of electricity b s water power, which has become t striking fact in current industry, i o may be noted, bears a most impoi il tant relation to thTs new form c i. electrolysis for the most useful c ,0 all purposes. t. When this nitrogen-producin t- process, in results convenient fc /- agricultural use, shall have bee l- finally perfected on (a comraercli b- scale, the effect will be almost ii re calctiable in value, for it will reac it to the very basis of all the arts an industries. Human necessities, ht man comforts and the relief of ht h man toll will be indefinitely aeais id ed. The prevention of the dreadfi catastrophies of famine, which fro THE INMATES ESCAPE, Hut the House Almost Wrecked by Lightning Stroke. A dispatch from Dillon to The State says a serve thunder storm passed over that section Thursday night. The lightning struck the home of Mr. S. D. Jordan in the northeastern part of the town, and while none of the family, consisting of Mr. Jordan, wife, two daughters and niece, were seriously injured, they were all fearfully shaken up. The bolt struck the chimney of one room. (1 p m nli s.h i n v if fnro m uronr hole in the roof, through tlie ceiling into a closet. There it seemed to divide, one fork going to the right, the other to the left between the plastering and front weatherboarding, tlie bolt parsing to the left traveling the hall, doing no damage save to the mirror of a hatracR, and passing into the adjoining room, where a heavy washstand was thrown forward against a table. The full force of the explosion expended itself on the front windows, the sash of which, the screen, the frame work and weatherboarding around and below look as though a bomb had exploded at that spot. One piece of timber was d *ivon across the room into the plastering of the opposite wall with sues force that it was withdrawn with ll/lllL'tlllllWI Mrt ,1 i ft\ ....

A pitcher of water in the room enabled thoni to extinguish the flames before they could make any headway. 'I'he freakaish fluid played queer pranks. All around, the silvered back of the hall mirror shows the most beautiful fern like traceries. A metal handle of an umbrella was blown off and melted and the screen window in its metal parts showed the same effect of the great heat. I loles were bored through the wood and plaster, the whole presenting tho appearance of some of tho houses as seen by the writer in Charleston during the war within the shell district. The escape of the family was simply marvelous. * SHORTAGE OF F(K)l). IiiilHir Conflict firings Distress to Stockholm. The town of Stockholm is suffering seriously from the shortage of food which so far is most the notable result of tho labor conflict. The stock of bread already is almost exhausted and meat is scarce and expensive. Restaurants have raised their prices and the figures are prohibitive except for persons of ample means. The strikers themselves are living practically on fish. Thousands of them are camping out, some in tents, but many without shelter, on the shores of Rake Malar and the islands iUA 1 V 1 ? ui me ?i v-iiijit-iiiK". wnere mey spena their time In angling. HIDES HOUSE INTO HOTEL. California Millionaire Creates Sensation in London House. Frank Jay Mackey, the well known California millionaire, who has resided chiefly in England for a number of years, has been fined $10 and costs in a London police court for riding a horse into one of the hotels, according to a cablegram received at new York. Mr. Mackey is said to have made a wager 'that he would hide the horse into the hotel and around the billiard table. He did so and was cited to a policeman and taken to the police court. In paying his fine he said he was . satisfied because ho had won the . wager. i 5 Robber and Pursuer Dead.

CONGRESS ADJOURNS 'r Both Houses Quit After Putting Finishing Compromise Touch on the Tariff Bill and Sending it to the President for His Approval, Which He Very Promptly Cave. The tariff has been revised and the extraordinary session of congress has been brought to a close. Both houses adjourned sine die officially at 6 o'clock Thursday night. The actual adjournment was taken in the house at 5:38 p. in., and in the senate at 5:58 p. in. The closing hours of the session were attended by scenes of a most uninteresting character. The revision had been according to the desires of some, and with the hearty approval of others, and the last two days had been consumed by members of the senate in expressing their satisfaction or dissatisfaction. The conference report on the bill was agreed to by the senate by a vote of 4 7 to 31.

President Tuft arrived at the capitol at 4:45 p. m. It was his first appearance there since his incumbrency as president and there was a constant procession of hand-shaking statesmen through the president's room from the time of his arrival until his departure at 5:30 o'clock. Just n? the hands of the gold clock in the president's room reached 5 minutes past five, the Payne tariff bill, as the measure will be known, was laid before the president. lie picked up a pen supplied by Chairman Payne of the house ways and means committee, which was used by both the vice president and the speaker in signing the bill, and attached his signature. After writing "William H. Taft," the president added, "Signed five minutes after 5 o'clock, August 5th, 1909?W. H? T." Bending over the president as he aitixed his signature were Secretary Knox, Secretary MaeVeagh, Attorney General Wickersham , Postmaster General Hitchcock, Secretary Nage! and Secretary Wilson. Standing about the table were Senator Aldrlch, Representative Payne and many other members of the senate and house. Mr. Payne stood with hand extended, waiting to receive the pen with which the bill was signed. He took it with a picture of boyish glee overspreading his face. Another pen was handed to the president and he wrote the word "Approved," and handed the pen to Representative Langley (Ky.). A number of interesting incidents occurred in the president's room pending the signing of the tariff bill. The president had something ui n. personal nature to say to each senator, and good nature appeared to be overflowing. WEALTH LADEN HANDBAG Found on a New York Excursion Steamer Monday, Mystery surrounds the finding of a wealthy-laden hand bag on 'he excursion steamer City of Worcester at New York.

There It attracted no attention until a day or two ago when Vice President J. A. Ganger opened the bag and besides finding several pieces of women's laundry, Mr. Ganger said he discovered two diamond rings, seven loose diamonds, two gold watches, other jewelry and "a very large sum of money." He would not name the sum, but said that it was sufficiently large that the loss of it could cause even a rich person anxiety. Outside of the initials on the bag it contained nothing by which the owner could be identified, and Mr. Ganeer is nf ? the opinion that the owner was a " victim of a tragedy, perhaps suicide J and possibly murder. ^ Fight Over Cards. 3 At Orwin, Tonn., Friday evening Solomon Edwards was shot and kill9 ed; his son, W.
