MACHINE TO TAKE SPIRIT MESSAGES MR. EDISON DECLARES SCIENCE WILL SUCCEED WHERE: MEDIUMS FAIL Thomas A. Kdison is now at workon a delicate apparatus which he has designed to affect indisputable communications between those whom death has removed irom cms eann and those who yet live. It is Mr. Edison's hope to complete the instrument within a few months, and he himself realizes what a tremendous sensation it would create should it prove successful. He says he would not be surprised if responses on his new apparatus should first come from telegraphers or scientists or those familiar with the use of delicate instruments and electric currents. Announcement of Mr. Edison's experiment is made by B. C. Forbes in an article in the American Magazine for October, in which he quotes the inventor at length respecting the appartus. Mr. Edison, however, does not disclose anything of the character or physical aspect of his new device. "I am proceeding," Mr. Edison says in the article,"on the theory that in the very nature of thing, the degree of material or pnysicai power possessed by those in: the next life must be extremely light; and that therefore any instrument designed to communicate with us must be superdelicate?as fine and responsive as human ingenuity can make it. "For my part I am inclined to believe that our personality hereafter will be able to affect matter. If this reasoning be correct, then, if we can evolve an instrument so delicate as to affected, or moved, or manipulated? whichever term you want to use?by mmmmammmmmmmmmmm I SOUTH C SATE AT CO] 0CT0B1 The greatest Fair ever held in ? 1 Iureauy impruveu vjxuui SPECIALLY REDUCED Rj New track for Horse Racing wl * ENLARGED GOVE EXCITING ATJT World wide entries of Fine Liv< Attracting Enlarged SOUTH CAROLINA'S GR Official State Show of the Am< Great get-together week of Fari and Girls C CAROLINA?CLEM SON on BIG T Annual Encampment of Ctemso ADMISSION FEE $1.00, Specia PLAN NOW TO MEET YOUR 1 1 man? ???

Mr. Edison, commenting upon the ' mass of materialbeing written these days about Spiritualism, says that "the methods and apparatus commonly used and discussed are just a lot of unscientific nonsense." He says that some of the so-called mediums may be sincere enough and that it is quite possible that those Spiritualists who declare they receive communications from another world, allow themselves to be hypnotized into believing that their imaginings are actualities. "But that we receive communications from another realm of life, or that we have as yet any means or method through which we could establish this communication, is quite another thing. "If we ever do succeed in establishing communication with personalities which have left this present life, it certainly won't be through any of the childish contraptions which seem so silly to the scientist." '"Accordingly," Mr. Edison says in another part of the interview, "the thing to do is to furnish the best conceivable means to make it easy for them to open up communication with us, and then see what happens. "I have been at work for some time building an apparatus to see if it is possible for personalities which have left this earth to communicate with us. If this is ever accomplished it will be accomplished not by any occult, mystifying, mysterious or weird means, such as are employed by socalled 'mediums' but by scientific methods. "If what we call personality exists after death, and that personality is anxious to communicate with us who are still in the flesh on this earth there ape two or three kinds of appar i AROLINA ] FAIR I LUMtilA | ER 25-29 | South Carolina.

Hog Cholera Months at Hand < 1 October and November are the ' months the dread disease, hog chol- \ /.? ? ?< Aof Ia a nnon Miirinrr Ixzlfxy 13 jiiuot iiivci v iv apycai . i/ui uig these months, and until snow covers the ground, swine raisers are urgec' by the United Staes Department of Agriculture to be especially observing when feeding the hogs in the morning. Any animals in the herd which fail to come to their feed, and particularly those having arched backs and rough coats, should be removed promptly from the rest of Ihe herd. In some cases hogs sick with cholera die within a few days; in others the disease may assume a chronic form and linger for several weeks. If hog cholera is suspected, swine growers should immediately call a competent veterinarian to make a proper diagnosis and to apply the preventative serum treatment if they are found to be affected with cholera. A post-mortem examination of swine that have died from cholera generally will showone or more of the following symptoms: Purple blotches on the skin; blood-colored spots on the surfaces of the lungs and heart, on the kidneys, and on both the outer surface and inner linings of the intestines, stomacn and bladder; redding of lymphatic glands; enlargement of the spleen, in acute cases; an ulceration of the inner lining of the large intestine. . In the lingering or chronic cases of hog cholera.it is usual to find intestinal button-like ulcers on the intestines.
