PINK SAP PRODUCTS
The manufacture of turpentine, tar
ftnd iosln is a feature of Interest to us,
which I wit briefly describe. Large
yields of turpentine and rosin may
run through a period of eight or ten
years befroe the plno tiees are felled
for lumber. The extracting of the sap
does not Impair the lumber for build
ing purposes. Only one-tenth of the
trees after being cupped are at all
injured. The cupping consists In cut
ting near the ground on each treca
deep pot or box, V-shaped, six inches
wide by four, live or six Inches deep,
Into which runs the sap and is ladled
out weekly. This Is done mainly by
negroes, who are preferable to the
whites, particularly the "white trash,"
for the negro Is better adapted, and
when well managed will do more work
in both lumber woods and stills; also
yield better results, ami can com
mand $l.-." or more per day. A "vir
gin crop" yield of ten barrels of crude
ap will make thiee ban els of resin.
A crude barrel of sap containing IS or
BO gallons will yield eleven gallons of
spirits of turpentine. Kach year the
sap becomes weaker and the resin in
ferior. In distilling, enough water is
used to boil and float the spirits or
sap, which on coming to a boiling
point will rise to the top of the so
called copper warm, the water es
i aping through a tube at the bottom,
while the residue becomes resin. The
proportion is one-quarter spirits to
three-fourths water. Turpentine is
worth here thirty-four cents a gallon
and resin from one dollar to one lifty
per barrel. The lino railroad ties sent
to the northern markets cost here
from twenty to thirty cents each. Vir

We cross several swollen streams
and two largo rivers the Asheboro
and Kdlsto. The latter is sixty-seven
miles from Charleston and is soon to
be utilized as the source of Charles
ton's water supply. Those rivers
abound with gamcy fish. We see sev

trout, each fish weighing three and
four pounds, and fresh shad said to
weigh from five to eight pounds. This
Is a fish story, but true, nevertheless.
SUMMKRVILLIJ.
Xeailng Charleston the saline qual
ity of the air and the scent of the sea
wore detected, announcing that we
were reaching the coast. Twenty-two
miles from the coast Is the famous
southern winter resort of Summervtllo,
X. C. It Is situated on a sandy ridge
between the Cooper and Ashley rivers
that form a Juncture at Charleston on
their way to tho ocean. It is situated
light in the midst of pines, which are
miles In extent, with whose fragrance
the air is ever laden, so agreeable to
tourists and health seekers. As a
health ic.sort Its fame extends
throughout the southlands, even across
the broad Atlantic, especially for
throat and lung troubles. Nervous
ness and Insomnia yielded quickly to
tho beneficial Influence of the pine la
don atmosphere. The congress of phy
sicians at Paris declared to the world
that Summon lllo, S. C was one of
the few places on tho face of the
earth where thobo suffering from pul
monary disease will find relief in
breathing the pure dry air, fresh from
the health giving pines."
The population is ,1,000, with good
schools, churches and hotels, and with
cultivated people ever hospitable to
tho stranger in their midst. Us prox
imity to Charleston adds greatly to Its
attiactivpness, besides it Is the coun
try resilience of many Charlestonians,
who find it a great, relief, after the
fatigues of city day life, to retreat to
the quiet and repose of this sanitari
um." Though only twenty-two miles
from tho ocean, tho air Is three de
grees cooler, dry and absolutely pure.

interest. Here are flower gardens, ten

Catching Cold.'
Prom fhe t,.incii!tcr Kximlner.
Thl Is Hie seaon of the )car wlfh alternating
wnim nnd cold (Ills, vxheii mankind is most
likely lo catch rnU. There I a certain amount
of i)lery about contracting a cold. At one
time v.ltli the grealtit amount nf exposure, no
ccld results, and n1 unolhir, with Ml mro. the
snec?es and grip duly nirlve. It Is the popular
notion that If one be amply, provided with waun
clothing, wrap, a mackintosh, lubber and an
umbrella Utile risk I run of taking cold rt II I
a matter of frequent experience tint In spile of
alt ren'onible precaution a cntartlnl afleetlnn
nny bo developed, or pneiimonli. The fact
that wcnrincfss depression of spirits, fright, anx
iety or something which ha nffected Iho nervous
system unfavorably ha piocccded Hie attack I
frequently overlooked. When flee from every
form nf nervous debility n person may expose
himself to draughts, dampness and other usual
f.iii-cs of told nnd escape rutin ly, while at
nurll.rr time, when weary or depiessed fiom nn.t
cniso, he m.n limine the U tint ol a fitnl it-taek-
of pnciini mi.i from a niueli slighter ex
posure. Tho nervoit origin of cohls seems lo be recog
nized by all physician who have made a spe
c 111 study of neute ellseases nf the lung and
thio.it, It U explained that the tempeiuluro ol
the body Is maintained by Iho nervou svstfin
nud that the lent failure of relaxation of nerv
ou energy taitsis a change- of the bodily heat
and impairs the power of the boely to re
sist the approach of disease. It I a wonderful
fact tliat under any change nf outside tempera
ture, even if one go from the Arctic region to
tlio equator, the heat of Hie body remain at
about M degrees. But for lis regulation by the
nervou s.vstem the heat of the body would not
remain constant, as every muscular exertion
would raise the temperature. Weariness, anxiety,
depression and the like lower the amount of
nervou energy and render the boely susceptible
to cold from Iho least exposure by disturbing
the process of regulating the temperature, While
warm clothing nnd all the common means of
protecting Hie boely are Important, it Is even
more important to avoid needles exposure if
tho nervous system he not. In Us best condition.
The Value of Water as an Aid to
Health.
W. T. MofTetl (111. Med. Journal). ajs: "The
diily ingestion of water should be from four to
five pounel. The function nf the boely arc
cairied on only in Hie presence of and by tho
aid of water: digestion, as.slmll.iHnu, tissue
metamorphosis and elimination arc dependent on
a sufficient supply of water and any amount lcs
Hi in nnriuil impairs these functions. Without
free Imbibition of water there can be no free
elimination. With the free use of water elim
ination will often take care of itse-lf. Drinking
cold water increases arterial tension, reduces
bodily tempi ralure, incre.isi peristalsis, bilary
soi lotion and aids digestion"
There is n largo class of ehinnic troubles
such ns migraine, neuralgia, muscular rhcunia
ltini,. cpile.y, Infinity, Icjste-rii, clilorois,
asthma and geneeologie- diseases which 1 associat
ed with constipation, renal insiitficicniy and in
active skin. On Inquiry 3011 will find tliat a large
pciconlngo of these cases drink water sparingly.
They drink twenty In twenty-five ounce of
liquid a eiiy where they should drink sixty to
eighty. Kvery organ and tissue in the body
struggle for water and retains water loaded
witli poisons thjt. should bo eliminated. 'I ho
n01m.1l amount of body evretious such a urine,
sweat, expired air and others contains poisons
stiff it lent to kill the individual If they had not
been ellmtmtod.
I vv-ish to emphasize the importance of the
phvslciin inquiring into tho patient's hibits
ns to drinking water and to insist that not less
than the- ph.vsienlogie- amount be imbibed daily;
while in cvrs of into intoxication (self-poisoning
by poisons produced within the body itself)
when extra and rapid elimination is desired,
nn excess of water may be advantageously used
In aid in elimiuiting Hie toxin more rapidly.
Water may be imbibed until the kidney act
fieely, the- stooln are soft and Hie skin moist.
Hut not too much nt one time. It is best to
drink xvatir especially during waim weather it
fiequent interval nnd it hiii1d be remembered
that the nrdniarj beveragis such ns coffee, tea,
etc-., a well ns Juicy fruits all contain M) per
cent, of water.

"Ppltomlst" on Ihe subject. To all Inquirers
we- will give a few figiuei. as lo the consumption
of hire meat in some of the older countries,
liefer to Pari for example. The weekly con
sumption of line meat is l'.),fl00 pounds. I that
a fad? lu Prance, llelgiuin, Herman, Holland
and (Steal Iliitain, great canneries arc in operation

started witli a capital of $in,0eni. In one o.ir
they had increased tlieii slock to ?M,U(X) and
although they controlled tho pmdiiit from gic.it

Hat Is done more atliiillnii will lie pihl to meit
fui the iii.uket. Twelve joars is hudly long
enough to supply Hie demand foi breeding alone
fay nothing cif enough to supply the demiiul for
meat.
Only a short time ago the manager of one of
tho leading hotels in Indianapolis went to a
prominent In 1 oiler of Belgian bares ami asked
imw much meat lie could furnish him per week,
'Ihe reply was; "All I 1.111 lalse are sold for
bieedeis and I cannot furnish uiy meat at the
