An Experieoce With Gasotin*. 1 % F. M. Adams, in speaking with a Tinies man one day this week, related an experience he recently had with gasoline which, by mistake, was sent him for kerosene. Mr. Adams sent into Union for a barrel of kerosene. The driver brought back by mistake a barrel of gasoline;^ Not noticing the brand of the commodity within the barrel [ M r.. Adams unloaded the barrel and proceeded to sell and use the oil for} kerosene. Fortunately he had few | calls for kerosene on Saturday and his own experience, together with the experience of a colored man, led to the discovery that it was gasoline and not kerosene they were handling. He found the liquid very explosive when one attempted to light the fire in the stove; a colored man sue* ceeded in filling and lighting a lamp; at first it exploded and went out; the colored man, persisting, made a second attempt to light his lamp and that time the whole business exploded and came near burning the man's house. Mr. Adams speedily sent out to gather in the dangerous oil and had not entirely recovered from the excitement occasioned by his experience when seen by a Times man. It was enough to cause a man's hair I :i - 1 uj use;, uiiu it in utim wonuer mat : the experience was an exciting one. Religious Notice.

If the leader lays down or s crippled, the others go on. In Lhis case the movement went on, ind the story is that punishment was visited on Hoyt. Not having full financial control of Jiis paper, the people who had the financial sontrol used that lever. But maybe t was better for Hoy t's comfort that it was so, for if this element could not control him that way, it would have managed to get him some other way. It is quite possible that he would have been thugged. The :hug method of squelching in such mses is not so gentle, maybe, as the method that seems to have been used; but it is no less contemptible, i However, the fight will go.

Up to thia writing we have seen J no authoritative statement aa to why I Tames A. Hoyt.resigned his position J is editor of the Columbia Record md Hold out whatever interest ho may have had in that paper; but intimatiopa are being published to me eueci mat trie trouble grew out Hoyt's activity against the Columbia race track gambling. Columbia, us is well and generally knowp, is made up of people who look to the main chance. All towns ire that way more or less; but in Columbia anything goes if there is money in it. The fact that race track gambling demoralizes the young men, and older ones too, of Columbia, does not worry the averigeColumbian much. He is practical jnough to see that the gambling is yery attractive to sports with money to lose and he understands how the iports scatter cash so promiscuously ibout the towns they infest. The fact that it may be somebody else's sash does not matter. The main thing is that it is cash. This cash joes to the hotels and restaurants ind to places that are more questionible. Eventually it is scattered ibout promiscuously. MostColumDians like that, of course. Bo when Mr. Hoyt tried to put a stop to the gambling nuisance, Columbians grew alarmed. Those who had first >how at the eady money were the Eirst to kick; but they were not long ibout interesting others. The proposition affected lots of things, including trolb y receipts, rents, etc. There commenced pressure on Hoyt md others, and eventually there was i continuance so the case could not some up until the situation would aot be affected this season even by i just decision. But the thing having been started would not down.
