We do not know, hut when we complain of the cold weather we should remember that we nave cause to be thankful aud congratulate ourselves that wo live as far South as we do, aud note the difference marked bv thermometers here and at Chicago, New York and the Northwestern States. We really have no conception of how oold it really is when the thermometer registei* a few degrees below zero.

Help the Old Confederate Soldiers To the generous public everywhere: The Confederate Soldiers Relief Asso elation of South Carolina is organizer and designed perpetually to raise fundi anywhere throughout the United State: for the relief and comfort of the indigenl and suffering ex-Confederate soldier it South Carolina. These funds are to supplement tht pension fund of the State aiyl to be applied only in case of actual neoessity and destitution in individual cases which art not sufficiently aided by the pensions. Such destitution among the old Confederate soldiers does exist to a deplorable extent and it deserves quick remedies. The scheme of the work is to raise a sufficient sum each year to reach every case of actual need and it will commend itself to Christian people everywhere, especially in view of the fact that the generous contributor to this meritorious effort will understand that his contribution will pasff through the medium of a well organized and chartered institution and wiil be most judiciously and wisely distributed with the smallest possible friction and expenditures. In presenting this earnest appeal wo do to with the fullest confidence that sympathy and love for the brave and deserving subjects in question will prompt a generous and hearty response in tlie hearts of the people Of our Christian nation. The appeal is presented with t.h? par nestness it 'deserves, the need for relief is great. As the appeals of the numbers of the homeless and destitute come to us, as we appeal to the prosperous Confederate soldiers and the sons and daughters of veterans of our State upon whom fortune has smiled, and to all people, societies and organizations of this and other States, north, east, south and west, who, knowing no section or prejudice which would obscure their love for suffering humanity would generously contribute of their means to so good a purpose as is here presented. We beg that our friends come quickly to our aid: we need not say more. God bless the soul forever that comes to the relief and the hand that reaches out to help the suffering ex-Confederate.

South Carolinian Invents Process to Make Drink from Watermelons. J II. Nicliolfs, of Wedgefleld, S. C., believes that he has discovered a process to make a drink out of watermelon juice which will supercede whiskey, says the Topeka Capital, and he wants tl.e Kansas state boaul of agriculture to assist him iu securing capital to exploit the discovery. i Mr. Nicholes says that he understands that some of the farmers of Kansas are raising watermelons simply for the seed and are throwing away the melons after the seeds are extracted, lie asserts that this is simply throwing away millions ; of dollars yearly. In his letter tie says: 4,I have the necessary machinery planned for separating and preserving watermelon juice, and I have a process . for clearing the juice so that in a few days it will look like pure corn whiskey, | and in fifty or sixty days can give you a nice drink with alcohol enough in it to ' make you feel it if yon drink a tumbler J full. 4lI believe in temperance according to 1 the Apostle Paul, and I have come to the conclusion that whiskey, as made these days, is an unnatural drink?two concentrated?and as long as I can get watermelon juice, as I make it, I never . will drink any more whiskey. 4'I have sold the watermelon juice for ' $2 per gallon, and tt-ere are millions in | it at 50 cents per gallon."
