A Remarkable Scientific Discovery Perhaps the most remarkabie scien tific discovery made in a long time— so far at least as its wonderful pos sibilities are concerned—is that of radium. Apparently this substance has from the beginning been giving off particles at the rate of sixty to ninety thousand miles per second, without dimunition of its own fore — and will continue to do so forever. It supplies light without heat. A ray of this light conducts electricPy. It converts oxygen into ozonej and colors glass permaueniy brown. These are only a few of the properties of this remarkable substance. In The Cosmopolitan for September u brief article is published under the title “A New Field For Speculation,” and announcement is made of a prize of three hundred dollars for the best paper on this subject.

Cherokee Drug Co. Pickett’s Charge at (iettyshurg. [Clemson College Chronicle.] Who has not heard of the wild charge we made. The charge, 1 mean, of Pickett's brigade, When, enveloped like night in the blinding smoke, Right through the Federal lines we broke, That bloody day at Gettysburg. July the third, in sixty-three, By the command of Robert E. Lee Began a mighty cannonade. God only knows the havoc made That awful day at Gettysburg. Scarce had the hoarse-voiced cannon hushed, When from the Rebel ranks t here rushed A column; men were they, as true as steel, Soon with their blood to drench the field — The battefieid of Gettysburg. Forward dashed that gallant hand, Their bayonets fixed, their guns in hand; Forward through that raging hell of whistling hall and bursting shell. For’d through the smoke at Gettysburg. Cheering madly as they went. Altho’ their thin grey ranks were rent By a storm of steel and lead. All, many a Southern soldier bled That awful day at Gettysburg. Across that valley lay the foe Whence upon their ranks did throw Their murderous storm of leaden hail— Enough to make immortals quail. But on they pressed at Gettysburg. Onward up the slope they swept. Straight for the Yankees’ works they kept, I’ntii at last with bayonets fought For the ground so dearly bought— For the Held at Gettysburg. But no use, down poured the flood,— Nipped our vict’ry in the bud; For where is mortal found, so strong To cope with thrice his number long, E'en on the Held of Gettysburg. So, out-numbered, we turned back A long our bloody, corpse-strewn track. The day so bravely fought, was lost; Lost to tin 1 vast, blue-coated host. Lost! The field of Gettysburg. Although in vain they fell and hied; Although the cause they loved is dead; Yet long will they be known to fame. Honor to each hero’s name! Who fought and fell at Gettysburg. Mining in Cherokee. While there has been much suc cessful mining done in the territory now in the bounds of Cherokee county, we doubt very much if any of ir has ever been done on judicious or economical principles. Iron, lead, monazite and gold are found in pay ing quantities in many places in the county, to say nothing of many of the rarer minerals that are being mined from smaller deposits in many sections of the United States.
