. WHAT AMERICANS SPEND.
The Round Trip Ticket to Europe
Represents About a Quarter of
the Average Expenditure.
" Every year Americans spend abroad
a constantly increasing sums of money,
says tienry C. Nicholas in Public
Opinou. Before leaving for Europe
the tourist purchases a letter of credit
covering the sum which he expect? to
spend while abroad These letters
of credit are purchased m?i* ly from
Wall street bankers,and give a founda?
tion to work upon in est:mating the
amount of monev annually spent abroad
un vacations. Experts ou foreign ex?
change agree that fer the Jasfc five
years an averaee of .more than $100,
000.000 a year has been spent by
American tourists abroad. Present in?
dications are that fully 150,000 cabin
pasengeis wiil cross the Atlantic east?
ward this year, and the cost of the
vacations of these 150,000 tourists
will amount to notless than $150,000,000
or an average of about $1,(;00 apiece
Cf this amount ?37,500,000 represent
passage money paid into tue treasuries
cf the various steamship lines. This
figure is based on an estimated average
of $250 a round trip for each cabin
passenger, ?ceordtiig to * ell-inform?
ed steamship officials, this estimate is
if aythiug. toe conservative. Fully
one-half cf the passengers crossing
the Atlantic in the first cabin pay
more than that one way, while many
pay many times that amonnt. The
average, however, would be about S250
fer each cabin passenger, or a total
of $37,500,000 for the 150,000 passenge s
who will go to Europe this year.
According to foreign exchange ex?
perts, the average tourists spends
abroad three times the cost of fcis =
round-trip ticket across the Atlantic.
Tbis would give an average expendi?
ture abroad per ton rst of $750, which
is declaTedto be weil within the mark.
This wonld indicate that the 150,000
" tourists who will go to Europe this
summer will spend abroad, a total of
$112.500,000. Add the passenger fares
across the Atlantic and voa have a
-grand total of $150,000.000. represent?
ing what the annual Earopean vacati?
on of Uncle Sam's citizens will cost
this country this year.
If this $150,000,000 was kept at home
it would pry the entire expenses of
GreateiJNew York for a 12-month and
leave a handsome turpins remaning.
It would Durcbase all of the seats, on
the New York Stock Exchange at the
highest price at which a seat has ever
sold, and leave a balance almost suffi
ciectgto move the wheat crops of the
nation from farm to market It wonld
he more? than sufficient to defray the
pension list of the United Slates Gov?
ernment for one year.

There is more Catarrh in this sec?
tion of the country than all other dis?
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur?
r? able. For a great many years doc?
tors pronounced it a local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease an,d
therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney
& Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the ^nly con?
stitutional cure on the market. It is
taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly
on the blood and mucous svfaces of

THE BOWEX-LOOMIS CASE.
President Roosevelt, as Well as Sec
retary Taft, Take Sides With
Loomis.
Washington. Jane 20.-The dismis
j sal of Herbert W. Bowen, for som.
jears United States minister to Ven
ezuela, ?ud tbe exoneration of Assi*
taut Secretary of State Francis B.
Loomis, of the allegations brough
against him by Mr.- Bowen, are the
! outcome of the Loomis-Bowen contro
I veris? w hich bas attracted wide as
? tention for mauy months pese. This
? disposition of the case is made by Pres?
ident Roosevelt in a letter addressed
to Secretary Taft, made po bile to
? nisht, approving Mr. Taft's report ou
his findings and conclusions in the
case. The Fresident scathingly ar?
raigns Minsiter Bowen, declaring that
bis conduct "is fsoecially reprehensi?
ble :" that Mr. Bowen asked one of
bis witnesses to sinter the employ of a
certain company for the purpose, "in
plain words, of stealing" documents
which, he hoped, might incriminate
Mr. Loomis, and that Mr. Bowen has
"evidently for many months, indeed,
for the last two years? devoted him?
self" to bunting np scandal and gossip
until it became a monomania, and
caused bim " to "show complete disloyal?
ty" to che country he represented.
The President says he had boped to
promote Mr. Bowen, as during much
of his service he bad one good work,
but that bis usefulness in the diplomat?
ic service is now at an end. The Pres?
ident adds that he would direct that Mr
Bowen's resignation be requested, but
for his statement that he would con?
sider a resignation an admission of
misconduct, aud his dismissal is
; therefore ordered. The President
states that it appears that Mr. Bow?
en, while minister promised the pub?
lication of attacks OD Mr. Loomis and
furnished to the press documents pend?
ing before the State department for
approval, and that his explanation is
inexcusable, and shows his"'eutire un?
fitness" for the service. Even if Mr.
Loomis had been guilty, says the
President, Mr. Bowen's conduct wonld
be unpardonable. The latter quotes
certain correspondence and testimony.
The report of Secretary Taft on tte
case, on which the President's action
is based, is a voluminous document
reviewing the charges and the evidence
taken.
In his report Secretary Taft says
that there was nothing dishonorable
in the transactions in "which Mr.
Loomis figured, but that he was not
discreet. The report says that Mr.
Loomis was not justified in becoming
per^ortally interested in any of the
schemes, either with a mere nominal
interest or a substantial interest. Be
holds, however, that Mr. Loomis has
been "most cruelly slandered," com?
mends him for the self restraint witn
w hieb he has met the charges, and
pointe out that Mr. Loomis's bitter
experience in this case makes it un?
necessary to point out tbe moral that
a minister cannot afford i a the country
to which he is accredited to make per?
sonal investments.
Discovery of a Successful Soil Inocu?
lation Method.
T. R. Robinson, of the Department
of Agriculture,, Washington, writes
as follows in the Country Calendar
for June.
" The bacteria of the soil known as
ni trogen-fixers are decidedly of the
beneficial order. The particular group
which nature bas adapted to infect
the roots of leguminous plants (peas,
beans, etc. ) promises to become, at no
distant date, au important factor in
agriculture. The conception that these
myriads of protein-builders could
be enlisted in the work of maintaining
and extending tbe available sources of
tiie world's food supply is to some
not so new. as to be startling. The
researches of several famous German
scientists, notably Nobe and El i Itu er,
showed irearly a decade ago the possi?
bilities along'this line.
"After trying numerous combina?
tions, the key-note was struck in the
omission from the medium nf all com?
bined nitrogen; forcing tbe bacteria to
utilize for their very existence, tbe
nitrogen in the air about them. A
further step was made in findng that
this medium need not be solidified with
gelatine, as was previously supposed.
The production of a pure culture in
liquid form was of vital importance,
aa influencing the effective power of
the organisms and the ultimate meth?
od of distribution.
"The liquid culture, furthermore,
renders possible a manner of distribu?
tion at once simple and effective.
Using an absorbent, such as cotton,
tbe oaeteria are taken up, and, after
the cotton is carefully dried, they re?
main dormant in much the same way
as set-ds. waiting for the oroper con?
ditions to revive them. When again
immersed in water, even after a year's
interval, growta is promptly resumed.
It thus becomes an easy matter tosend
quarter of the worldd a dry culture
whose action,'nuder the proper condi?
tions, can be predicted with as much
certainty as that of yeast cultures or
yeast cakt s,*o commonly used as leaven
To basteu the growth of the organ
isms, it was found exp' dient to furnish
witti the cort?n starter certain nutrient
salts, carefully proportioned to the
amount of liquid culture to be prepar?
ed. With the food thus supplied, two
days gives a growth of bacteria seffici
eut to change clear water to a milky
liquid, ready to treat seed or soil. "

MUCH PROGRESS IX SUMTER.
Two Citizens Talk Cheerfully of thc
Future of tile City.
! Washington, D. C., Jone20 -Mr. c\
U. Manning, of Sumter, vice president
of the Sumter T?l?phone Manufactur?
ing Company, is hi the city on busi?
ness. Mr. Manning, who is an inter?
esting talker, spoke today to a Record
represeirative quite interestingly of
his company and Sumter'3 outlook.
Said Mr. Manning:"! have just ar?
rived in Washington for the purpose
of probably selling a t-ousand or r> ore
of phon^? to the government. They
are largely u *d by the signai service.
"I have never know:i the company
to do a better buisuess than we arr
doing at this time Without telling
the aggregate amount of cur annual
sales, I will say that we are receiving
so many orders for our phones that w
bave nov recalled every agent from
the road, in other word-; we have no
need to drum trade-enough comes
witbout.it.
Continuing Mr. Manning said:
f Yes, Sumter and South Carolira are
all right. We are hoping to build a
new railroad soon from McBee, on the
Seaboard Air Lire, to Charleston, via
.Sumter. Some of pur best local men
are behind the movement and I have
no doubt that it wiJl..be built soon.
At this time the. Atlantic Coast Line
is our principal railroad."
Mr. C. T: Mason, also of Sumter,
and president of the Sumter Tele?
phone company, is with Mr. ManniDg
at the Raleigh. In speaking to a
Record rep-esentative Mr. Mason said :
[ am justly prend of Sumter and the
record she, is making in the industrial
world The railroads, it is true, have
done a great deal for us in recent years,
but all of the people in my town are
industrious and thrift and have done a
great deal towards helping themselves.
! "Abone eight years ago we began
manufacturing telephones and can
truthfully say that our business bas
increased so steadily that at this time
we are running on full time to supply
orders receh ,d from all over the w orld.
We now have something like three or
four acres of floor space in our main
factory and we emplov about turee
hundred men in the work. While Mr.
Manning is vice president of the com?
pany I am tlie head of the mechanical
department and we are here now iu
answer-to inquiries sent out by the
government tor phoue manufacturers
to submit bids for supplying several

Mr. Yates Snowden, who was a few
days ago elected to the chair of history
and political economy in the South
Caroilna college will leave the city for
New York tomorrow to continue bis
studies fie will after remaining in
New Yo?k for a month, return, in all
probability, to Columbia, and take
part in tbe summer school work.
Speaking of bis election to the chair
in tbe college, Mr. Snowden said to
day: "It is entirely unnecessary for
me to express the way I feel at having
been elected to sach a place. While I
realize that perhaps none can fill tbe
chair of Prof. Means Davis with such
splendid success as he did, I consider
it an honor which I never dreamed of
receiving to hold a chair in such an
historic institution as the South Caro
ins college I wll remove to Colum?
bia by the opening of the next session
in September.''-W. W. Price, in Co

Edible Cactus.
There are millions of acres of arid
land upon the globe, much of it, even
wit!? the most persistent irrigation,
yielding but scantily, and enormous
reaches of it devoid of all growth but
the cactus a foe to man and beast : but
Mr. Burbank resolved that he would
reclaim it, not by irrigation, though
welcoming its aid, but by means of the
debert itself-the desert and its cactus.'
its heat and its sun. So for a period
of over ten years he has worked with
the utmost persistence and skill until
at last he has developed a cactus plant
which will convert tbs desert into a
garden. He has made the cactus
tnornless, taking from its leaves the
bard, woody substance, the spicules,
so dangerous to animal life. More
than tbs, he has made it adaptable TO
any climate. He has bred this dread?
ed scourge of the desert, this pariah
among plants, until it bas become the
producer of a delightful, nutritious
food for man and beast-until, in his
estimate, considering the unused
acres of the world where it will thrive,
it will afford food for twice the people
now upon the earth.-'Century Maga?

To Utilize the Rabbit.
Mail from Australia last monta
brought accounts of an influentially
attended meeting held in Adelaide to
form a company for the purpose cf
turning the rabbit pest into a new
source of food supply. Mr. J. Lewis, a
leading pastoralists was made president
and said that "a ce rta ingar ea of about
one million square miles of country in
Australia carried about 50.000,000
sheep and 100,000 miles of it had been
denuded of pasture, grass and edible
brush by the rahbits. If the rabbits
could be got together they would weigh
more than the fifty million sheep."
There is no mistake about the truth of
thi?, for whilst the traveler through?
out the interior of South Australia
rarely sees a sheep (tbe runs are fuKy
stocked with about 4 sheep to the
square mile), hordes of rabbits are
seen everywhere. Samples of meat ex
trsct prepared from rabbits have been
submitted to medical men, matrons of
hospitals, and chemists, ard it is said
that they have unanimously testified
to its value as a delicious, delicate
and strengthening food for invalids.
