YM QUEER MDL AN OPAL TAKEN OUT OF LARGE JLLLIGATOR'S JAW. -\: * ?". Tbe Gera Was Imbedded Under the S2dn and Was F.e:noved by a &0? Boy. The Charleston Post tells the beat1 alligator story we ever heard. Here it Is: Over on Wadmaiaw and John's Is land hundreds of peopje have been looking for big alligators with opals embedded in their jaws, since L. H. Hay, <>f Wadmaiaw, found a valu able jewel in the lining of the cavern ous mouth of a nine-foot gaitor re cently. His father-in-law, T. A. Beckett, magistrate at John's I?land, came :o Charleston this morning with the alligator opal, which he brought here to have appraised. He would no;'take a handsome sum of money for the precious stone. It In true that not every alligator carries a mouthful of opals, or other valuable jewels, but a big reptie kill ed "as it was crossing a Wadmaiaw Islana road and gjven to Mr. Hay by the: negroes who .ended Its saurian career, had a half-inch opal in the rear of his huge jaws. Mr. Hay, as sisted by some negroes, was skinning the d?;ad alligator, and his little boy, playing about the huge body, sudden ly exclaimed: "Papa, I feel some thing hard in his jaw'!". Mr. Hay be came interested, and cut the hard object from the back of the animal's mouth. To his surprise the discover ed and irredescent disk, about half an inch in diameter, embedded in the flesh, and upon examining it, he pronounced it to be an opal of large ..size. His father-in-law, Magistrate Beckett, brought the stone to "Charleston to have its value passed upon, Bow that opal got Into the alligat or's jaw is a mystery. Magistrate Beckett thinks that it came from a pin .or ring setting, and was lodged in Mr. Alligator's throat as he was chewing up human remains. In the alligotor's stomache were two pine burrs but no material opal evidence. Mr. Beckett says he has found whole rabbits, brickbats and other strange objects in dead alligators' stomachs. The theary is that hiia particular al liga:or was chewing a necktie when his mouth became an opal depository. Mr. Beckett was carrying the opal carefully wrapped up in paper, and enc .osed In-an envelope lodged in his Inside pocket, for he was fearful of losing the gem. DOINGS OF SOCIETY.

Beautiful Women, Dashing Chariots, Artistic Statuary, Massive Palaces, Regal Costumes Are Shown. I The above hitrtorical event will be i depicted in exquisite photography, (tinted and tqned beyond compare, at the Theato on Monday afternoon and evening. We present below a short synopsis of the story which all should read before going to see its reproduction in motion pictures at the popular photo play house, The Theato, on Monday. Here is the story as you will nee it in the motion pictures: Menelaus, King of Sparta, going to join his soldiers, bids an agec tionate good-bye to his wife, Helen,, the most beautiful of Greek women. The parting takes place in the gar dens of . the palace,) *ne imposing structure, with its massive columns and marble staire, lending a back ground to a scene of wondrous beau ty, 'with gushing fountains, lovely flowers, strutting peacocks and flit tering "birds. Mendelaus leaps into his charriott, and is seen galloping away through picturesque scenery, ""in' his absence Paris, ? the son of Priam, King of Troy, comes oh a diplomatic mission to see Menelaus, and falling a victim of Helen's- daz zling charms, devotes his time to impassioned wooing, in which he is assisted by the goddest Venus. A remarkable vision scene is shown as Venus throwns her filmy mantle over the couple, who are wafted through the air In a big shell by the attendants of Venus, the winged nymphs guiding the aerial craft to Troy. The flight of Helen is reported to Menelaus by a servant at the pal ace, who lashes the horses drawing his chariot into frightful speed to reach his master. The grief and rage of Menelaus know no 'bounds, and he hastily marshals hip army and re ceives the pledge of his nobles to fight to the death. An immediate march is ordered to the city of Troy. Helen is being entertained in the palace of Troy by Paris, who has lavished her with attention and sur rounded her by a retinue of beau tiful women and singing and dancing girls. A soldier dashes up with news of the attacking forces. The Trojan soldiers advance to meet the Greeks, but are driven back behind the walls of Troy?a thrilling scene in which 2,000 ffcgihting men are seen. The Greeks battle with indomita ble furyv Charge after charge is made on the sturdy wall3, in the face of an avalanche of huge missiles thrown into their midst by the Tro-I jans. Finally Menelaus, realizing the futility of attempting to storm the massive mounds of stone, plans a ruse. A giant horse is built of wood, inside of which are concealed a score of Greek soldiers. This is left outside the town, and Menelaus withdraws his army. As the last of the departing Greeks is lost to view, the Trojans venture forth and gaze curiously upon the strange equine. With exulant shouts they take possession, and drag it to the city. To permit its entrance through the gates it is necessary to tear down a portion of the wall. General rejoicing at the lifting! of the seige takes place, and the horse is regarded a? a trophy of war. Wearied with the conflict of many days, the town, seoure in the de parture of its enemies, is wrapped in the arms of Morpheus. Night has cast its darkening mantle upon the earth, through which the moonbeams struggle and weirdly cast their rays upon the gorgeous splendor of Troy. The city sleeps, unmindful that the Greeks are rushing back with mur derous hate in their hearts. Suddenly a trap door in the wood en horse opens, and a Greek drops to the ground. Another and another follow, till all are assembled. Tor ches are quickly lighted, and the band seperates, a blaze of fire fol lowing each one as he wields the flaming brand. Simultaneously the Greek army rushes into the city through the dismantled wall. The eyes of the awakening TVro jans open upon a most terrifying spectacle. Surprised and scattered, they are met on all sides by fiery flame and relentless sword. The rout is complete. Though fighting valiantly, they are no match for the Greeks, and many flee ?gnominiously to save their lives. The consuming flames burn fierce ly, mounting higher and higher, cast ing a lurid glare upon the awful scene of carnag?. In the palace Hel en clings tremblingly to Paris, who seeks in vain for means of egress. The royal guards, making a last stand in the reception chamber, are ruthlessly cut down. The intense heat disintegrates the stone buildings, and they crumble to the earth. Immense columns sway majestically and come crashing down. Groping and stumbling through the smoke filled corridors Paris sup-j porting Hel^n, makes his way to the g-ound floor, and instantly a hun dred swords seek his heart. Mene- i laus utters a sharp command, stay- j ing every hand, and himself engages j I Paris. The duel is spectacular, thej short, heavy swords falling in quick j succession on each other's shields. At last Paris falls, and with a be J seeching cry Helen, the| faithless, leaps to her husbands arms. Dis dainfully he thrust her from him. and the picture ends with Helen at the side of her slain lover, while Menelaus .gazes upon her contopm tuously. Kain Baly Needed. In some sections fine rains have fallen, but in others rain is badly ne?ded to bring up the crops. Hope it will come in a day or two. ARRIVAL AND CLOSURE MAILS ?

CALHOUN1S COUNTY BUILDINGS ? How Funds Are to Be Raised to Erect and Pay for Them. The St. Matthews correspondent of the Stute says: "During his charge to the grand jury Wednesday morning, Judge Prince urged upon them the pro priety and necessity of building ad equate and commendable public buildings for the county, and stated that he was of the opinion that suit able buildings could not be built for the $20,000 provided by the town of St. Matthews?that the court house should not cost less than $50,000, and the jail $15,000?and he sug gested that the county issue bonds for the additional amounts necessary. "It appeared to the judge that it had been intimated that he had been prompted to advocate $50,000 for a court house, because other judges preceding him had done likewise. Judge Prince stated with vigor that he took counsel of no man when it came to what his idea was as to what, a court house should be. "The grand jury took business like notice of Judge Prince's recom mendations, and adopted a resolu tion which they presented, resolving that the county supplement the $20, 000 already given with $30,000 ad ditional and urged that proper steps be taken looking to securing this amount. The report was received with manifest satisfaction by the court and' those in attendance." WOODFORD SCHOOL. Closing Exercises Held on Last Mon day Evening.
