COTTON GIN DESTROYED
BY F11IE; LOSS $9,000
Atkin3, May 17.—During the elec
trical storm about 11 o’clock last
night lightning struck the old Stepps
'gin, owned by W. E. Knight, and
within a few minutes the entire struc
ture was in flames. The loss cn the
building, which was totally destroyed,
was estimated at $9,000 by Mr.
Knight. It was partially covered by
insurance.
The stiff breeze spread the flames
rapidly and the volunteer firemen
found it necessary to tear down a
large bam on the Arts estate to pre
vent further spread. No other dam
age was done.

HAVE PURPOSE IN WALKING
Noted American Authors Gather ideas
While on Pedestrian Toms Over
the Country Poads.
The other day in a little literary
gathering upstairs over a bookstore in
San Francisco, Bailey Millard writes in
San Francisco Bulletin, I heard one
more or less famous California author
say to another: •
“1 hear you have bought nn automo
bile. I suppose that's the end of those
celebrated walks of yours.”
“Not at all,” was the reply of the
writer addressed. "It only extends
them.”
"How’s that?”
“Well, I have had my machine more
than six months. I find that nn auto
mobile is a fine thing to take you to
some place like the Marin hills, where
you can go and get a good walk.”
Writers as a rule are walkers. They
do not necessarily walk because they
write, nor do they write because they
walk; but almost any of them will
tell you that walking, even along a
dull street In town, Is Inspirational. It
would seem ns If a writer’s legs, mov
Ing steadily and rhythmically, pump
out of his Inner consciousness ideas
that eventually get upon the printed
page.
Lean ns a grayhound and brown ns
a berry, Julian Hawthorne was walk
Ing along a country road near Poe’s
old home in Fordham. I happened to
be accompanying him, hut was saying
very little, for the son of the famous
Nathaniel seemed to be in what our
good old bromides call a “brown
study.”
Of a sudden he left my side and
darted up n bypath through the
nvvua, u (< nn
like a deer. After a few minutes he
came tearing down again, apologizing
for his sudden freak by saying:
"I saw a half-formed idea floating
about and thought I would chase it
down. It was a mythical idea and a
tough one. I have it now and I’m go
ing to put it info a story.”
Henry Lewis and David Graham
Phillips, two authors with whom I was
well acquainted during the latter years
of their lives, both took long walks
"nearly every day and often I accom
panied them. Wiille they walked they
talked and in the case of Phillips It
was wonderful talk. In New York
city we used to walk from the Players’
dull in Gramercy park, not far from
Phillips’ home, to Nineteenth street
and to Forty-second street and back
ngain, always along dingy old Fourth
avenue. Sometimes we would tramp
along ns far as Fifty-ninth street and
then over the Central park paths.
Phillips told me that but for his
walks lie never would have been able
to write his novels.
Britain Fighting Rata.
In England, where the scarcity of
food during the war was a much more
serious matter than In tills country,
they have been giving much more at
tention to measures to prevent the
depredations of rats, and a concrete
corn crib is coming into general use
throughout great Britain, which will
keep the grain In good condition and
at the same time keep the rats out.
The Interior of the crib is built of
concrete blocks with holes In them for
ventilation of the building. The floor
is of solid concrete, and on the sides
where the blocks have openings the
Inside of the structure Is covered with
mesh. The trench in the center of the
floor is built so that the extension
feeder of the corn sheller can be
placed iu it when shelling out the crib.
Short pieces of board are laid over
this trench, and are removed as fast
as the corn can be shelled. This
trench 1* a labor-saving feature of
this corn crib. It has been found by
the modern farmer that concrete is
the only effective way of fighting rats.
Balzac’s Home Is Restored.
The home of the famous French
author, Honore de Balzac, In the Kue
ltaynounrd at Pussy has been reopened
as an uniats’ center. The house had
been sadly neglected, but has been re
stored to present the appearance it
had In Balzac's time, with Its vestibule
painted blue and the original oak carv
ings and dark red tapestries decorating
the apartment where Balzac wrote his
masterpieces.
On the table stands the big china
coffee-pot from which the author was
wont to refresh himself, for Balzac
was a mighty drinker of coffee. Old
woodcuts and original printing proofs
adorn the walls. In the garden the
vine that Balzac tended still grows and
his beloved lilacs have been replanted
there.
In one room there Is still the trap
door through which Balzac used to dis
appear when importunate creditors
called.
Matters of Importance.
“Toong woman, I have waited here
three-quarters of an hour to see Mr.
Wadson. How much longer will I
have to wait?”
“I can’t tell you, sir. He’s very
busy.”
"Won't you mind finding out?”
"Indeed I would, sir. Mr. Wadson
is chairman of the grounds committee
at the country club. He and the
other members of the committee are
discussing plans for improving the golf
links. I wouldn’t dare to Interrupt
him now If a million dollars were at
stake."—Birmingham Age-Hern Id.
Politics and Statesmanship.
“A politician Is a statesman out of
a Job," remarked the superficial cynic.
“Not these days,” rejoined Senator
Sorghum. "A politician Is a states
man who is willing to get down to
shirtsleeves and hustle for what he
regards as his country’s best interest"
AND THEY SAY MAN
IS MADE OF DUST
but chemistry says he is
WATER, CARBON, GAS, SUG
AR AND OTHER THINGS
A man weighing 150 pounds will
contain approximately 3,500 cubic feet
of gas—oxygen, hydogen, and nitro
gen—which, at 80 cents per thousand
cubic feet, would be worth $2.80 for
illuminating purposes, says the Elec
trical Experimenter. Ho also con
tains all the necessary fats to make a
15-pound candle, and thus, together
with his 3,500 cubic feet of gases, he
posses considerable illuminating pos
sibilities.
His system contains 22 pounds and
Hi ounces of carbon, or enough to
make 780 dozen or 9,360 lead pencils.
There are about fifty grains of iron
in his blood and the rest of the body
would supply enough of this metal to
make one spike large enough to hold
his weight.
A healthy man contains 64 ounces
of phosphorus. This deadly poison
would make 800,000 matches, or eno
ugh poison to kill 500 persons. This,
with two ounces ot lime, make the
stiff bones and brains.
No difference how sour a man looks
he contains about 60 lumps of ugar
of the ordinary cubical dimensions,
and to make the seasoning complete,
there are 20 spoonfuls of salt. If a
man were distilled into water, he
would make about 38 quarts, or more
than half his entire weight. He also
contains a little starch, chloride of
potash, rrungnesium, sulphur and hy- j
-Irochloride acid in his wonderful hu- j
man system.
