Although there was a cnnslde?

week, there was still enough te ?Mlas
ffee farmers to become more or
anxious about tfeotf SOttOSj crop. They
prefer t'? have weather now that will
permit of uninterrupted labor In the
fields, but at the same time the re?
cent rslns will prove very beneficial
to the corn crop; In fact this year's

In line with the other travelers, al?
though this town was once consider?

still able, however, to lend sufficient
attractions to invite constant visitors.
Two of the social events of the past
week were given complimentary to
Miss Ethel Mathls. of Ashevllle, N. C
who has been visiting at the home of
Mr. J. Q. Mathls. On Wednesday.
June 30th, a delightful reception was
tennered Miss Mathls by her host.
Mr. Mathls' spacious home was
thrown open to the young people,
end several hours of merry-making
were enjoyed while the attractive
visitor became acquainted with her
many guests. On Thursday evening,
a "straw ride" to Scott's Lake was
also given in Miss Mathls' honor. The
weather proved most admirable for
such amusements, and this was pro?

Value of Laughter.
"Having vainly tried many and va?
rious remedies to restore to health a
business man whom I know and who
had fallen into a morbid conation
owing to years of overwork, a famous
Baltimore physician at last persuad?
ed his patient to take a course of
funny stories, one at each meal, with
an extra two at dinner," said a Bal?
timore man. "The patient, a solemn
and gloomy fellow, at first rebelled,
but finally, falling in with the idea,
adopted the course recommended and
was in the end restored to health,
the effect cf laughter being entirely
to change his mental and bodily con?
dition. Laughter, in fact, is one of the
cheapest and most effective of medi?
cines, breaking up stagnation of mind
and body and sending a healthy vi?
bration through one's system. There
is very little the matter with the man
who can enjoy a hearty laugh."?

Millions in Half-Burned Stumps.
The pine barrens are to be turned
Into gold through the magic touch of
the chemist's hand, and the land that
has been so forbidding will be render?
ed fit for cultivation.
A few years ago the suggestion that
these billions of charred pine stumps
possessed the slightest value would
have been derided. One dollar an
acre has been considered a prohibi?
tive price for the lands thus encum?
bered, and the man possessed of suf?
ficient hardihood to settle amid the
barrens was regarded with mingled
pity and suspicion as to his mental
soundness. Many of these settlers
made good, it is true, but the pros?
pect was terrifying to thousands of
others who would have flocked Into
the country had it not been for the
time and labor Involved In digging
out the old stumps and destroying
them.
All this will shortly be changed.
With the rapid depletion of the Nor
way pine forests and the consequent
falling off in the source of supply of
by-products, inventive genius began
to assert Itself. The pine stumps, rich
In resinous properties and turpentine,
1 :ul long been regarded with interest
by chemists, who believed that the)
could be converted into a source of
wealth. H"W to do this was the prob?
lem confronting them, which appears
to have received a practical solution.
.And in the working out of this prob?
lem WOndt rs have been performed
that make Aladdin's lamp appear
commonplace by comparison.
Destructive distillation is the pro?
cess employed in securing turpentine
and by-prodUCtS from these pine

broken wood Is piled on cars capable
of holding about two cords each and

encountered here drives out the pitch
and tar as well as the moisture, leav?

some thirty bushels of excellent char?
coal.

TAFT HAB BIG STICK.
Fear That He Will Force Reduced
Rates Alarms High Protectionists.
Washington, July 1.?President
Tatt's warning gesture at New Haven
toward the interests which have
raised so high the rates of the senate
tariff bill stirred Washington today.
Those who used^to predict a White
House' veto and later charged the
Administration with surrender to Sen?
ator Aldrich took heart and pictured
the president as retaliating on Sena?
tor Aldrlch's candid admission that he
favored the corporation tax merely to
to kill off the great evil of an income
tax.
But the friends of Aldrich claim
that President Taft and the Rhode Is?
land senator still maintain the har?
monious and workable relations
which have existed 3ince the begin?
ning of the session. The president's
declaration that the Republican party
would be relegated to a minority if it
broke promises and disappointed the
people is regarded as a part of his
campaign to influence the conference
to restore to the bill the lower rates
which it carried when passed by the
house.
President Taft, it is known, wants
the free raw materials carried by the
hcuse bill, and he believes that in the
instances, like the cotton schedule,
where the senate increased specific
duties they Ihould be reduced in con?
ference in deference to the tariff re?
vision sentiment of the West.
There is no present prospect, how?
ever, of disruption In the closing days
of the session such as marked the
Wilson bill going Into effect without
the approval of President Cleveland.
High protectionists are closely watch?
ing legislation, fearing that the rates
increased by the senate will be seri?
ously cut in conference. The ease
with which certain rates have been ad?
vanced lately Indicates to them that
the senate Is making ready for reduc?
tions when the bill is sent back to the
house.
Washington has been excited over
Senator Aldrlch's frank statement
that he suports the Taft corporation
tax only in order to prevent enact?
ment of an income tax. Senator Aid
rich was met with a fusillade of
questions on Tuesday as to whether
he or Mr. Taft first suggested the^ cor?
poration tax expedient. It is now pos?
sible to disclose some of the history
leading up to its launching.
When the income tax adherents
perfected their campaign President
Taft received a call from Senators
Aldrich, Lodge and Crane, of the Re?
publican organization, who told him
that the Republican "Insurgents," led
by Senator Cummins, had 19 Repub?
lican votes, which would permit a
comDination with the Democrats
which would Insure success for the
income tax. They asked the presi?
dent's assistance. They were willing
to go half way and support a constitu?
tional amendment legalizing an in?
come tax, if the president would favor
a tax on incomes of corporations to
run only two years. The president
declined to favor any limit as to time.
The conference proved futile. The
next morning Senators Curtis, of
Kansas; Bourne, of Oregon. and
Brown, of Nekraska, told the presi?
dent that If he would send In a Mes?
sage favoring a corporation tax they
would be willing to drop the income
tax and support the corporation tax.
The president received the suggestion
vlth favor, but before he had time to
follow it up Senator Crane brought
Senator Aldrleh'a agreement to a cor?
poration tax without time limit. Then
the message went in.
Senator Aldrich told President Taft
that he favored it simply to prevent
enactment Of the income tax amend?
ment.
The reports that the corporation
tax might be made to kill the income
tax in the senate and then fail be?
tween the senate and the house are
given no encouragement at the White
House.

POINTS ON THE SWEET POTATO.
Interesting Bulletin Just Issued at
Clemson.
The South Carolina experiment
station at Clemson College has Just
issued Bulletin No. 14? on "Sweet Po?
tato Work in 1908," by T. E. Keitt,
chemist of the station. After giving
review of the sweet potato investi?
gation work at the South Carolina
station, and at other stations, the bul
etin makes a full report of experi?
ments conducted here, the objects be?
ing: (1) to show the contents of fer?
mentable carbohydrates and their
tilization as a source of alcohol; (2)
to give information regarding the val?
ue of potatoes as a food stuff; (3) to
obtain results as to the fertilizing ele?
ments removed from the soil by the
potatoes; (4) to show the content of
water, starch, sugars, and protein at
different stages of growth; (5) to col?
lect data as to the comparative yield
of the various varieties, in case the
manufacture of starch from potatoes
should assume any proportions.
Some interesting facts about the
sweet potato may be summarized as
follows: Experiments show that the
best distance to plant potatoes is
about eighteem inches apart in rows
three to four feet apart, and have ap?
plication of potash in the form of
kainit or sulphate, moderate applica
ion of nitrogen in the form of nitrate
of soda or cotton seed meal, and a
small application of phosphoric acid.
Two good formulas given for a
potato fertilizer are: First, 500 pounds
kainit, 300 pounds cotton seed meal.
200 pounds 16 per cent, acid phos?
phate; and second, 200 pounds sul?
phate of potash, 200 pounds nitrate of
soda, 400 pounds 16 per cent. acid.
The first would cost about $16.50 per
ton and should be applied at the rate
of 800 to 1,200 pounds per acre, be?
cause of its low percentage of fertili?
zing elements; the second should cost
about $32 per ton, and should be ap?
plied at the rate of about 500 pounds
per acre, preferably at the time the
slips are put out.
Under favorable conditions a yield
of about 200 bushels per acre can be
counted on from soil which ordinari?
ly would produce 20 bushels of corn.
These potatoes would contain about
2,000 pounds of starch besides a good
deal of sugars, which add to their val?
ue as stock feed. The yield of 200
bushels per acre would remove about
$8.60 worth of phosphoric acid, nitro?
gen and potash.
As to varieties a comparison of
fourteen varieties with regard to
yield in per cent, starch and in
pounds per acre, shows that the per
cent, ranges from 13.5 in the yellow
Nancemond to 23.89 in the Shanghor
yam; and that the yield per acre
ranges from 1.277 pounds of starch in
the Arkansas beauty to 4,443 pounds
of starch in the Southern queen, with
the Brazilian as a close second, yield?
ing 4,148 pounds.
Feed stuff analyses show very high
per cent of nitrogen free extract,
which we in the South are short on.
They can be fed to advantage to all
kinds of stock from September 1 to
January 1, after which, if they can be
kept, their value is Joo great to be
fee to stock profitably. Comparison
with* other root crops show a decided
advantage in favor of the potato as
a stock feed; and comparison of the
vines with clovers, peas, etc, show
that the vines are not so high in pro?
tein, but higher in nitrogen free ex?
tract and other extract. The vines
contain large percentage- of fertilizing
elements taken from the soil, but they
can be left on the land or feed to
cattle and the manure returned to
add numus, thus improving the land
in either case.
Tempered Grace Before Meat.
(From the New Orleans States.)
Fifty years ago, when Cobden was
fighting in England for the overthrow
of the protective system and the re?
peal of the corn laws, he predicted
that after the establishment of the
policy of free trade British working
man would enjoy the luxury of hav?
ing wheat bread on their tables. This
prophecy was soon verified, and toda>
the cost of living la very much less
in Great Britain than in the United
states. Man who are old enough re?
call the condition of British workmen
before the days of Cobden's great re?
form a*e not among those in England
who favor b return to protective tar?
iffs. One of them In ? recent letter I i
the London Dally News recalls the
"grace before meat," which hie father
frequently used when everybody ate
ptotected bread. It ran as follows:
O Heavenly Father, bless us
And keep us all alive;
There are ten of us to dinner,
And food for only live.
The Question.
The Balkan war cloud Is forgot.
The tariff-talk is passing by;
The price of wheat may rise and fall
And never make us wink an eye.
World-wide events no longer hold
Our interest, as they did of yore;
The one great Question of the day.
Is, "WHAT'S THE SCORE?"

WRECK WIPES OUT FAMILY.
Railway Escapes Liability, as None
Survive to Enter Damage Suit.
Jefferson City, Mo., July 2.?By the
killing of the entire family, a railway
company has escaped liability for the
payment of damages for the death of
Philip Ragel, his wife and their min?
or sons. Suit was brought for $15,
000 by the administrator of the es?
tate.
According to the Missouri Supreme
Court, the company Is left free from
damages, because the entire family
was wiped out by the fatal wreck, no

Youg Man Shot From Ambush.
Charleston, July 3.?Mr. Willie
Heriott, a young man about 21 years
of age, and a resident of Mt. Pleas?
ant, was shot from ambush about one
mile above that place Thursday
night, the bullet hitting him near* the
temple. Fortunately the bullet
struck the bone in a way that caused
l* to glance, and Mr. Heriott went
back to work the next morning. The
general theory is that the shot was
fired with the intent to rob the young
man, who carried some cash receipts
back to Mt. Pleasant every night.
Other robberies have occurred at or
near that place. A search is being
made by posse with blood hounds.
The assailant has not been captured.
Rather Sharp.
The pretty girl wore one of those
wide hats that resemble the blade of
a buzz saw. As she passed the young
man in the narrow doorway the rough .
edge of the hat skinned his cheek.
"Ah, there, Percy" she called viva?
ciously. "Just tell them that you saw
me."
The young man felt his stinging
cheek.
"No sis," he said, grimly, "I guess
I'd better tell them that you sawed
me."?Exchange.
What seems to be a case of brutal
murder occurred Thursday afternoon
Pt Warrenville. Josh Crews shot and
instantly killed his wife, or para?
mour, Mary Crews, colored, while she
was standing in a neighbor's house.
They had parted a few days ago; and
Mary Crews had refused to see her
paramour for several days. He went
13 the window near which she was
standing and tried to get a conversa?
tion with her. but she turned away.
Al- she turned he fired through the
window with a shotgun which he car?
ried, killing her instantly. He es?
caped, and has not yet been captured.
