state; i sm con-vinced that, taken as a whole, Chester possesses edvantagts over any town of ita daas in th« state. Her municipal government, school) •nd churches are ebove the aver-

Her mercantile end manufac-turing industries are euccessful. And yet, she is lacking in aome im-portant mattere, and ^ think I ahould not be placed aa a peasimist when 1 aay there ere tendenciea that are even dangerous.

Chester Is improving. She ie going to have larger fectoriea, etill better atreeta and bigger buildinge, but I believe her greatest need to-day is a stimulating of higher ideals in Christian living.

Along this line, I see wl.at I con caive to be my duty and that_ of every business man in the com-munity. This duty I believe t^M) the organization and maintenence of a body whose objsct would be expressed under some such nsme as the Business Men's Gospel Mis-sion,

Chester is no longer a village but a city whose commercial and manu-facturing interests deraend the em-ployment of many young men. I believe we owe it to these young men to provide a place where they can spend their evenings undar proper influences, supplied with wholesome reading matter and rec-reation. Many of them ate away from homtf influences and would welcome and be made better men by just such a retreat. 1 do not mean to limit the benefits of thia proposed organization to this one purpose; they can be ma'hy.

Some one .will likely aay, the ob-j Ct beiog identical with that of the church, it should be done with n the church. The object is the

would not have it other-wise, but the work is one which the church is not doing and cannot dtf.

It is going to require a little money. Anything that i* of any eccount does, but what is money for? My supreme use for that arti-cle hes always been to pey debts, but I don't apply it all to one obli-gation. This appeals to ma aa ob-ligation for a little money and *om*' active interest on the part of avary business man in Chester-who feele en interest ia his persons! upbuild-ing and helping other men to b* purer end better.

.Th* dividends—well, I think they will be e conscousnass of duty well done,.the gretitude of mother** and, if wa h*ve the good fortune to get to Heaven, of finding it a little better popiijated than it otherwise would have b*en.

ROBINSON CRUSOF.

Adventure* of AkxinJcf SicIliii, the Orig1n*I ol *RoNnssn Cru

- -aoas" - - 7 ^ -, Th**»Wf of "Robinson Cruaoe"

was founded on thi expsflencss of a car tain Alexander Selkirk, who resided four years on the island of Jusn Fernandez, in the Pacific ocean. Capt. Rogers, commsnder of the vessel which rescued Sei ki'k, related th* story, and Dsfoe afterward worked it up into the narative now so fsmiliar to all, waa for thia reason that U.-foe was accqyod of pilferiag the manuscript, and even of having atolen many lattara belonging to Selkirk. Defoe is said to have made a snug fortune from the sale of "Robinson Cru soe." end out of the proceeds of the book to have built e fine house for himself in a suburb of London. S it must have won instant populari ty.

The adventures of Selkirk, diffa only in detail from the story of Crusoe. The resl Crusoe, as we may call hire, wa* not (hipwrecked, but cam* ashore volunterily. Hi waa a Scotchman, and landed from an Engliah ahip, the Chique Ports, a little veaael of but 93-odd tons' burden, cerrying 18 guns, com manned by Capt. William Dampitr in 1704. Selkirk waa the tailing master ot the vessel, and, in reali-ty, he had had a "falling out" with the captain some time before and begged to be put ashore. Just what this qusrrel may have been is not known, since the eccount com** from th* captain himself. Selkirk lived alone on the ialand for four years sod four mbnths, and was then rescued, by Capt. Rogers of the Duke and taken back to Eng-land. Capt. Rogers wrote the ori-ginal account of Selkirk'e adven-tures, so that we have the true story of this famous romance at first hand.

Whan Selkirk landed to tski possession of his island-kingdom h* carried tower provisions thsn Cru-so of the story. A boat from tha Cinque Porta brought him to the beach with hia aeaman'a cheat and meager possessions and put him asho/e. "•'

As the boat pulled away Selkirk quickly regretted his act, end beg-ged on his knees to be taken back to the ship. The ssilors refused, returning alone, so that the original Cruso found Himself an unwilling prisoner. There wes little romence in the Situation. His entire pos-teisions comprised only *ome clothe* and bedding, a firelock, one pound ot powder, aome bullet*, to-bacco, a hatchet, a knife, » Bible and his mathaaatical instruments and books.

Pour years and four month* later, when Selkirk—now tafely 00 board the Duke—told the etory of hi* edventure*, th* mi**ry of thos* firat hours on the island waa still clear in hia memory. .A* the *hlp disappeared he set upon -his sea-man's cheet in utter dtjsction. He ate nothing for many, bours. His groataet fear waa that with tha coming of night h* would bo at-tacked by wild animal*/ In taia own word*, "1 want to sleep when I could watch no longer." For a long time ha remained in auch low spirits that he could eat only at rata intervals. Hi* first food was tho flssh of aaals and tha coarse food picked up along th* b*ach.—St. Nicboio* Magazine. -

Miny Queer Names. One would imagine that with all

the pains taken by good old Jime* Smithson to further the cause of education end -knowledge- in th* United States, aodthat after all th* work parformecFi^ the varroti#-#*e •reteriea and cute'or* of th*.

The following is list kept by one of the ^nithsonian officials of some of the outlandish and amusing addresses on letters re ceived by tha institution during the past 12 years:

Hence so many "unions' throughout the list of wrongly ad dressed, misspelled and brfdly bung' lad lettera refeivgd by the inatitu titn. With many people such words es "college, academy, insti tute, institution, university, etc.." heve practically the same meaning and value, ao that it is therefore not surprising that the institution re-ceives msny letter* with the

Work ol Bob White. Emerson Hough, editor of "Field

and Stream," in the September number of that magaz'ne, calls at-tention to the fact that the Bob White quail is the most useful of all oar game birds since it H a scaven-ger among irj.iuous i/isectj. • • • "The U sited States has spent con-siderable money in srud\ing Bob White. Thus we may know that although sportsmen commonly be-lieve that B>b White eats little but grain, h^ really uses gram as only about one-fourth of the total amount of his food. Corn makes about 1941 per cent., and wheat about } 04 prr c e r o f his food. A cap-tive will eat corn and wheat almost indifferently. Of tha other ceresls, sorghum, millet, barley, oats, rye and k«ffir corn make 1.36 per cent, of th* grain consumed; yet the lat-ter never pulls up a gram ol planted corn, wheat or other ^ereal. He eata wheat which has fallen upon the ground. S>x Bob Whites have been found with as much *s 181 kernels of corn in their crops, but they did not steal it. It was al-ready wasted. One Vi'ginia quail had 509 grains ot wheal in its crop, but it was wasted grain. The seeds of the sumac plant makes some portion of its food. It este dewber-ries, wax myrtle berries, bay ber-ries, wild striw-berries snd wild grspes up to s per cent, of 8.$3 ot its total food, but it la no robber of vineyards or cultivated berry patch-es. It will eat JTieep sorrel, red or while clover, grass, lettuce or chick-weed, but not vegetables.

" There are sixty different kinds of wsed seeds which Bob White de-stroys, and these make up 50 78 per cent, of his food. To show how vsluable he is as a weed exter-minator, it may b* staled that on* bird has been found with its crop loaded with 30 buttonwood seeds. Others have been fourd 10 have eattsn 200 to yx> smart weed seeda or 500 seeds of sheep sorrel, or 700 of tnree-eided mercury aeeds, or 1.000 seeds of the ragweed! One Bob While wee found with 3.000 different seeds in his crop. Anoth bird killed on Christmas dsy, 1901. et Kinsale, Vj., was found to have eaten 10.000 seeds of the pigweed.

"Bisides this, the B>b White ii s scavenger among injurious insects It eats the potato bug, tha cucum ber beetla, the bean beetle, thi ladybird bug, the wire worm, the May beetles, the boll weevil, the ceterpillar, the army worm cotton worm, the cut worm, the Rocky mountain locust and the chinch bug. In the spring and sum mer the number of thes* insects eaten by the Bob While quail fii-ures into the many millions. How useful that little game bird may be is to be seen by the fact that the cotton crop has at times been dam aged to the extent of Si;ooo,ooo by the boll weevil. The potato beetle somxtimes costs the farmer t IO.COO.OC > a year. The cotton worm may cost $30,000,000 s year and there have been years in which the chinch bug cost this country Jhoo.oco.ooo m a twelve-month,

I have nev-er had the honor of forming the ec-qusintance. The old blue back spelling books reads, "We sre sorry when a good man dies," and thai line will apply to .Mr. Wise. He served his country well in war as well as in peace. If I mistake not he was a member ol the 6'h S. C, V. and served his country well, perhaps as a lieutenant. He was a consistent member of Calvary Baptist church, an obliging neigh-bor, a kind husoand and an indul-gent fatRfr.

At this writing the 1I1I that has done service a long-lime at the up per end of our town is being brought down to a place a short distance below the mill, at a point on the river known as "the eddy."

F-ciped in Mother 's Dress. An Associated Cress dispatch

ssys thai Wiley Gibso'n, a youth being held in the Lee county jsil et Jonesvtlle, Vi., to await convey anca to the pen at Richmond to serve a five years' sentence for robbery, made good his escspe by depsrling from the prison clad in the dre*s and bonnet of his aged mother, who had been left alone with her son thst she might say good bye. Gibson's escape wes d'scovered when a fellow prisoner marking the departure of hia mother want to tha young robber's cell to comfort him, and there found the aged mother dressed in the clothes her son had discarded.

His First Ride 00 Train A men who lives thirty-three

miles from Wilmington and thirty miles from the nesrest railroad sta-tion, and who is 65 year* of ege, saw- o-lrfrm and rode on Ihe railroad for the first lime last weak. Hi* ~ name is Oem f Helps and he livea in Columbus county. He was summoned here es a witnaae in a big land suit, and thai waa the only reason lhat he had the unusuel ex-perience. Up to that time he had never been fitly miles from home. Ha has a wi'e end seven children, all grown, and 11 a man of indepen-dent means, liuring the civil war he was stationed at Little River, S. C. a low miles Irom his home scross the slate line.

Mr. Phelps gave as his reason for not having travelled any that ha never lelt that he had the time 10 spare Irom his farm. He had often heard of Wilmington and as often had the desire to visit the city. The largest town he ever visited up to the time he came here last week was Smtthville, a piece with not. more than three hundred inhabit-ants. Mr. Pnelps liked the city and was pleased Wilh everything he saw. Ho was especially de-lighted with his trolley rides sround the city. He marveled st Ihe won-ders of the electric lights, and ssid he would have lots of things to tell his wife snd children when he got back home. The ride on Ihe train, filly miles, which by Ihe way, waa tha first ha had ever laid eyas on, he said was exhilarating in tha ex-treme. His trip wes a great reve-lation to him. and he promised 10 come.back sgain in the neer future, when he felt he could spare the time from home.

How the Weevil Works. W. Terrell Jones thus writea

from Texas to the Abbeville Proas snd Banner about Ihe boll weevil:,

Tha boll weevil which haa caused so much consternation among th* farmers of Texas is s smsll grayish weevil messuring a little less than a quarter of an inch; it raaembiea a large Uoodla bug with grayiah J"*" wings. Tha weevils begin their at-tack upon the cotton es soon aa fhe squarea begin to form. It punct-ures the squares and lays its agga in them. The punctured squarea usually fall to the ground. Later in tha sesson the weevil attacka tha boll, depositing its eggs in it, and

I e'"rm which hatchaa from it feeds upon tha interior substance of the boll. Th* instct crossed over from Mexico into Texaa in 1893 near Brownsville, and it haa be*n gradually extending ita way over the state es fer north aa Dal-las snd as far west as Louiaiana. In many sections in South Texa* especially in th* bottom land it haa almost destroyed tha entire crop for several years. No adequate remedy has been discovered and the government experta aay tbat it is doubtful if the boll weevil can aver ba eradicated and tha farmer* must learn to grow cotton io apita of the boll weevil.

The weevil doea its greatest dam-age in thosa sectiona where tb* cotton ettains a rank growth.. Up-on the upland where the weevil is most abundant tha damage that i* don* ia vary alight.

Echols from the Late Prlm»»y• Elections in Aiken county teem

to grow worse end worse. Some-thing should be done to elevate the campaign to a higher plana.—Aiken Journal and Review.

Tha primariaa are over, and without doubt thay ware tha dirt-iast aver held in South Carotins. Mora dirty, malicious falsehoods were distributed to defeat men foi office then aver before. We never waht to see another primary elec-tion if they are to ba conducted like tha recent ones. There must be • change, for good men will stead-fastly refuse-to submit to such an ordeal in ordar to serve their state. —Bamberg Herald.

The election in Aiken county is over, but has left a vary bad taste in the mouths of all parsons, who have any right to any pretention to decency, for it waa the most cor rupt election held ainca reconetruc tion and radical days. Whan one haara of the open bribery that was practiced ha ia not aurprisad thai Aiken county has earned an unen-viable reputation for corrupt politi-cal methods.

It Is stated by many who sew the Infamous transactions at the polls that voters were openly bought. There was not even pretense at concealment, but generally $2 00 ware paid for a vote ahamelessly sold. And theee votera so bought were with men; the mora infamy in tham.

It ia evident that the time has come when drastic measures are necessary to restore a mast're o( honesty to our elections. And if the members of the legislature zeal ly do desire honest fact ions they should put their minds together and enact some law that would tend to restrict such corruption as has been practiced in Aiken county during the past few days.—Aiken Recorder.

Militarr Rowdyism. Tha complaints of the behavior

of certain South Carolina militia that went to Minassas are coming in now in such manner as to make us teel ashamed for our state. The first regiment waa loyally defended at home when the report was first aant out that members of that com-msnd had looted a provision store, but on tha haela of that comes a complaint from one of the best

'.men in Virginia of wanton mischief committed by men in the same command, tha shooting of hors«s and cowi and poultry and the rowdyism of the men on the train going home, a complaint- that can-not be ahiftad. Mr. Clark has called attention in a latter to the Columbia State to the rowdy be-havior of one of the Columbia com-panies at thia station. These things are shameful and if tha militia is to be a credit lo tha state, as it should be, instead of a disgrace aome prompt and vigorous action must be taken by the sector offi Cera. South Carolina cannot af-ford to be shamed by rowdy hood-lums, or by man who losa their sense of responsibility and decency when they go out as representa-tives of th{ atate. Take these ipattere lo connection with the

, tcapdal at Ratdvilia, N. C. , . about the North Carolina t/oope and the

. report* ef the court of inquiry in Georgia and we find exactly, whete U»e trouble la. Hen are holding

1 in the militia who do • or who ore unable- to con-

compenies. As long as tai such to what

Si!

the militia and military departments of the statea. These men have avery opportunity of knowing who is fit to hold s commission Is not and those who are not ought to have their, commissions recalled without ceremony and their panlas disbanded. The need of proper officers is most apparent in

Wantrd to See the President. Oyster- Bsy , L. I., N. Y.. Sep

tember 20.—A man, who is regerd ed by the secret service officers and by the authorities of Oyster Bay as a dangerous crank, was appre handed here shortly before noon to day. He is J. E.^Reeves, a medium sizad, roughly attired man, about 40 years of age. He was making his way to Sagamore Hill when he waa arrested. He told Officer T yree who .apprehended him, that he wanted 10 see the president on im-portant business. Believing from the man's manner that he waa sane. Officer Tyree took him before Jostice Franklin for examination. To the justice Reaves said that six years ago he died in e Jersey City hospital and went to Heaven In an automobile. Wnile there he receiv-ed an important message for Preai-dent Roosevelt, which he was di-rected to deliver personally. Ha re-fused to say what the nature of the message was, as he declared he could communicate it to nobody bur the president. H« declared to the jjstice, however, that he had writ-ten a book on his axperiencea in Hsaven, which he desired to have published, as ha was satisfied mil-lions could be made out of it. T h r president, he said, undoubtedly would j tin with him in securing tha publication of the work, and that was one reason why ha wished to have a talk a with him. Reevea had no weapons.

T ' e Orphanage at Hickoey Grove. Rev. J. H. Simpson, superinten-

dent of the orphanage at hickory Grove, was in the city a few daya thisjweek. He talked interestingly of his work and is aa enthuaiaatic

when he first took it up years ago. He came |o the city to bring a little girl, whoso mother had de-cided to enter her as a pupil in the Rock Hill Graded School.

The oiphantge is a first claae place for training children, not al6ng industrial line* alone, but in the rudiments of a general English education as *e-l . All pupils who go to other schools are found to be thoroughly well prepared.

At tha present there are only six-taen or seventeen of the little homeless fellows in ihe orphanage. A number have recently been placed in good homea. Those that remain are busy at work from day to day taking advantage of tha op-portunity to improve the lot which Fate haa apportioned them.

Win Fannie Hemphill, of Hickory Grove, haa recently bean fScured to act as matron, in tha atead of Miss Beatrice Mill*, of Blackatock, who has resigned to become house-keeper at the Due West Female college.—Rock Hill-Record.

T h e Wreck at Catawba. The railroad commission had a

meeting yesterday and took up a number of matters, principally the report «f Commissioner Csughman in regard tp the wreck of the See-board at Catawba junction. O n account of certain atatamenta in the report the officials of the Seeboard have been ordered to Columbia on the 5th of October.

Tha moat significant statement In Mr. Cauabmtn ' i report « n his calling attention to the feet 'that in his opinion tha iron king pip which connected the epgine truck* with the main body of the angina been frectured even before the en-gine atruck tha bridge, and it is probable that this caused the derail ment. Mr. Csughman aay* that the pin ahowed an old fracture, and ha thinka that tha break was com-pleted by a sudden ja i .—The Stete, 22nd.

A lways on the Band Wagon. Senstor Tillmsn s s y s that he

doesn't sae how any honset man can support the Brice bill, which threatens to restrict the state'* pensary busineaa and improve the morals of the people. There waa a time when Senator Tillman could not see how any honaat msn could support a gold atandard candidate for the presidency, but come into line for one as mildly aa tha reformetf*^osevelt takes his directions from Elihu Root. And if the Brice bill prevaila before the people of the atata. Senator Tillman will find out juet how it ia for him—and he laya vociferous claim to hdflesty—to support It. Tillmsn can see quickly enough how a popular measure can be aup-portad. H* Is one of the greateat jumpers for the band wagon there ever was—Chsr les ton Post.

T h e Evangelistic Meetings. These have been held now as

usual In the close of the summer with all the churches of the county, perhaps with the only exception of the one at Blackstock, postponed by the death of the little son of thr pastor. They seem to heve been well attended— evangelical and profitable. The last of then) held et Calvary, Woodward, N s w Beth ai and Liberty were conducted by

respective pastors, Assisted by Messrs. Entzminger, Freeman, Brakefisld and Hinton. Mr. Brake-geld certeinly pceaches well tor so young a man, only a recent, but distinguished graduate of Fu>man University,iand still e student ot ine Theological Seminary, but among the bdst of three bundled.

Hobson's Purpose. " T h e race and labor questions

are the problems to which I intend devoting my life's efforts," says Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson.

i shall not seek the glory of office, but shell concentrate all my work on these two great question*," he adds. Every one who believes thst last assertion will plesse hold up a hand. It there waa one thing more than another that prompted Capt. Hobson to get out ot Ihe nevy It was a thirst for "the glo-ry of office."
