LIGHT IS ENERGY.
If tha Rays Are Not,,Absorbed They
Will Travel yi Forever.
If one could gee an inclosed room
with perfectly mirroring walls and
light an electric bulb in it for a second
and then suddenly annihilate
the bulb the light would go on reflecting
back and forth forever. So
if one could look into this room a
year later he would see the lighted
bulb, which no longer existed, mirrored
in all the walls of the room.
However, if the bulb had been
left in the room iffter being extinguished
it, being dead and not a
^ ^^?-?oi!hoi?/4

absorbed ail the light back and
have converted it into heat.
If light from an object is not absorbed
it, being energy, travels on
forever. Take a church steeple with
( the sun shining 011 it and no clouds
above. The light reflected from the
steeple will go out into space and
travel forever unless it strike some
matter in space. So a person 011 a
distant planet could see the steeple
if he had glasses strong enough?
the matter of seeing being merely
to receive enough light from the
seen object to impress the retina.
If this celestial observer were
very far away the light of course
would take some time to get to
him and he could not possibly see
the steeple as soon after the sun
struck it as could an observer on
the earth.
} ' . In the regions of space there are
rays of light that were reflected
from people and buildings ages ago.
If some one were there to catch
these rays he could actually see
things that long ago ceased to exist
except as light rays.
Astronomers do actually see such
things, for they can look at stars
hose light has taken forty years to
get to the earth. If these forty
year stars were to go out no one
on the earth could possibly see
them go out for forty years. They
would still be seen in the sky as
bright as ever for forty years more.
This fact demonstrates more
plainly than any-other that what
one sees is light and not objects.
A friend's face, for instance, is not
Been. Nothing is seen but the light
reflected from that friend's face.
The friend could be annihilated and
one would see his face for a 6hort
time thereafter?that is, would see
the light from his face.?New York

his eldest son, assuming the name
which has been bestowed upon the
v heir, with the prefix Abu, meaning
"father of." Thus, if the son is
called Fudle Allah, "God's bounty,"
the father will henceforth be known
as Abu Fudle Allah, "father of
God's bounty." In like manner the
mother would become known as
Em Fudle Allah, "mother of God's
bounty." This custom is not merely
one of common speech, but extends
to all occasions and even to
legal documents. Still more strangely,
even when a man though married
has no 6on the courtesy of oriental
society demands that he
should be addressed as Abu Salim
or Abou Mahmoud, after an imaginary
son whom politeness confers
upon him.
What Intermittency Meant.
Intermittency is that form of irregularity
in which tile pulse appears
to drop a beat occasionally.
In some instances it occurs regularly
and two or three times per minute
for several hours. Sometimes
also it is verv irregular and is noted
a number of times within a few
seconds and not again for a minute
or more. This peculiarity generally
causes much uneasiness. Yet, while
it may be a very serious symptom
and associated with grave and incurable
disease of the heart, it often
signifies merely a functional
disturbance which is in nowise dangerous.
Rough on Both.
Patrick's face was so homely
that it had been described as an
"offense to the landscape," and he
was as poor as he was homely. One
day a neighbor met him and said:
"And how are ye, Pat?"
"Mighty bad," answered Pat.
"It's starvation that is staring me
in the face."
"Is that so?" said the sympathetic
inquirer. "Sure, and it can't
be very pleasant for ayther of ye."

coming cotton crop will do well to
come to Alcolu on this occasion and
hear Lhis master of the situation, to
hear his timely advice to the careworn
cotton grower and dependent
country merchant who is facing
financial ruin for lack of timely,
urgent assistance in the preservation
of those who are producing cotton,

has nearly completed two modern
silos which are being constructed on
the plans furnished by an expert
from the American Government at
Washington, D C.

progressive mill man, is now
grinding corn and grits from the
grain that is produced in this section
and furnishing same in even
weight, commercial size sacks to the
stores at Alcolu, Brogdon and some
of it is even going to the Sumter
market. If Mr Brogdon can secure
hereabout a sufficiency of corn and
wheat he will install this coming
Beason a separating and grading outfit
for his already new mill and then
he will be in position to furnish
pearl grits and meal in the varying
commercial grades, in even weight
sacks for the local and away markets.

For distant markets, gather fruit
just as soon as the blossom end turns
yellow and slight traces of pink are
apparent. Careful grading is necessary
to put up a discriminating pack.
In each pack only tomatoes of the
same size and degree of ripening
should be found. If disposed of on
the local market, do not gather until
practically ripe.
In shipping, the best results are
obtained when the stems are removed
and the fruit is wrapped in"white
news" or any type of soft paper.
Place all fruit with stem end down.
The standard shipping receptacle is
the Georgia six-basket peach carrier.

A Case of
Blackmail
By SADIE OLCOTT
Pietro Caracal! was deliberating on
a plan to extort money by sending a
threatening letter to some one who
could afford to hand over the cash to
aroid trouble, when chance gave him
a flue opportunity. He was walking
past the estate of the Hethringtons
one night about 11 o'clock when he
espied a light flash among the trees
within the inclosure.
Pietro was of an enterprising turn
of mind, arguing that one can never
tell when a secret may be picked up
which may be turned into money. The
flash had revealed to him something
that he had net expected to see at
that time of night in a rich man's
i grounds?namely, a gentleman carryj
ing a small oblong box under his arm.
Moreover, Fietro got a glimpse of a
lady moving beside the gentleman.
Both were young, and the lady was
beautiful.
Fietro climbed the fence with the
agility of youth and. creeping through
such plants as adorn gentlemen's estates,
made his way toward the couple,
who were moving to a rear corner
of the grounds. .
Pietro did not need to be the adept
he was at theorizing to feel sure that
this young couple were going to bury
the body of a child contained in the
box they had with them. If the little
one had died without mystery there
would have been no need of their interring
it at this time of night and in
this secret manner. Stealthily he followed
the couple, who stopped at an
open space in the shrubbery. The man
dug a grave and, having put the box
in it, shoveled in the earth and smoothed
the surface, while the lady, holding
the lantern, stood by, a picture of melancholy.
A big dog stood by the lady,
viewing the burial with evident interest
When it was finished and the
couple were about to return to the
house the dog pricked up his ears and
gave a low growL Pietro beat a hasty
retreat The dog dashed toward him,
and Pietro got over the fence just in
time to save himself from a pair of
powerful jaws.
Pietro believed that be had a valuable
secret If he was right in his inference
that the body of a child had
been buried those who had interred it
would undoubtedly give a large sum
for the preservation of the secret
Pietro was a methodical rascal and
would have visited the grave, dug up
??J naannA^ himanlf f\f fhft
I Lie UUA UUU asouicu muiovn. v* *mv
truth of his inference, but he had a
wholesome dread of the dog's Jaws.
To go there in the daytime was impracticable,
and at night the dog was
unloosed and permitted to roam over
the grounds.
Pietro thought of going to the house
and making inquiries of the servants
that would help him in determining
what the secret burial meant, but he
was farseeing and looked forward to a
possible future arrest, in which case
to be identified as having prowled
around the place, the denizens of which
he proposed to bleed, would prove a
great disadvantage to him. He determined
to proceed on the theory that
there was something to be concealed.
He learned the name of the owners
of the place, then wrote a note mentioning
what he had seen and offering
to keep the secret on payment of $5,000,
giving an assumed name to be
addressed at the general delivery of
the postoffice. In a week's time he received
a note written in a feminine
hand imploring him not to divulge
what he had witnessed. The money
to pay for his silence was being got
together, and as soon as it was ready
he would be notified.
A fortnight later, not having heard
anything further in the matter, he
wrote again, demanding immediate
payment or the police would be notified
that a crime had been covered up.
To this he received a reply that $3,000
? ? - " i
or ready money uuu oeeu ruiseu uuu
would bedjurned over to bim in any
manner flat he might designate.
Each year for four years $500 would
be paid him provided the secret was
kept
This looked to Pietro like a bona
fide offer. He had not thought that
the parties would likely provide against
being called on for blackmail in future.
He accepted the proposition and appointed
a meeting at a certain day
and hour at a street corner near the
eeene of the burial to receive his first
payment He would wear a brown
suit and would carry a book in his
left hand. Any attempt at treachery
mould result in the death of his would
be captor.
At the time appointed a man appeared
on the scene and, seeing another in
a brown suit and a book in his hand,
asked him if he were the party to be
paid for keeping a secret Pietro admitted
that he was, and the other put
his hand into his inside coat pocket
took out a fat pocketbook and was
about to hand it over when several
men started from different points near
by, one of whom clutched Pietro from
behind before he could make any defense.
Then he was taken to a police
station. |

for his freedom for five years, nad provided
for his board at the expense of
the state for an exact term. No explanation
was made as to the secret
of the burial, for none was needed.
The lady's poodle had died in the evening,
and she and her husband were to
go on a journey early the next morning.
The night burial wu therefore
necessary.

DEATH TO THE HUES.
Powdered Hellebore Advised a|
Effective Weapon.
There is no longer any excuse for
permitting flies to breed in anything
like the numbers in which they have
bred in the past. Several effective
methods of controlling flies have
been discovered and the latest of
these,the use of powdered hellebore,
is available to practically everybody.
The Federal department of agriculture
recommends sprinkling on
manure a solution prepared by adding
i pound powdered hellebore to
10 gallons water. This will destroy
from 88 to 99 per cent of all the fly
larvae, or undeveloped flies, in the
manure. Since manure is the principal
breeding place of flies, such
treatment will do much to control
the flies on any premises.
Coloring Matter In Batter.
A reader asks: "What is the most
desirable coloring for butter? What
amount is best and how should it be
used?"
Butter color is a regular article on
the market and is sold by all dealers
in dairy supplies. Most butter color
is prepared from the seed of the annatto
tree.
The amount used varies from none
to about two ounces for every 100
pounds of butter fat. Southern markets
usually demand a rather liberal
use of color, or rather a highly colored
or yellow butter.
The coloring should be diluted in
a small amount of cold water and
added to the cream before churning.

Diarrhoea Quickly Cured.
"About two years ago I had a severe
attack of diarrhoea which lasted
for over a week," writes W C
Jones, Buford, N D. "I became so
weak that I could not stand upright.

Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. The first dose relieved me
and within two days I was as well as
ever." Obtainable every where.
