VOL 27. NO. 3 STOCK SALESMEN LEAVE IN HASTE We if (lathering in Money For Tesia> Concern The Carolinian, ut St. Mat tin ws, says: A prominent Calhoun county iariner, in the opinion ot Sherili F. F. Hill, came near losing $7,000 one day last week m what the sheriit thinks to bo an attempt* d swindle on the part of two men, J. F. Smith and J. M. Anderson, who claim to be lrom Noth Carolina. The two met. were arrested by Sherirt Hill soon aft?r the Calhoun county man had turned over to them $7,000 in liueity Bonds, which, the bond owner says, was to be held by the two men i as security for stock purchased in a Texas concern by the farmer. The salesmen, one of whom formerly canvassed this county selling stock in a fish concern in Virginia, approached the fanner and suggested * that he subscribe to stock in the Texas concern to the amount of 000, and agreed to take Liberty bonds for this amount, have them trans-, ferred to the company they repre-i sented and have the company hold the bonds as security for the stock.; The farmer agreed to the transaction n and turned the bonds over to thei salesman. I The bonds were brought to St. Matthews by the two men, accompanied by the farmer, and were trans-1 ieired in blank, the salesmen claim- j irip t hat this Drocedure was necessary ?c * in order that the bonds might be held i as security tor the stock. The cashier ot the local bank where the transfer was made became suspicious ol the strangers, however the alacrity with which the farmer agreed to the transfer so clearly indicated that the deal: bad been thoroughly investigated anu I was above reproach that the cashiern made the transfer without comment. Shortly after the two men had |: left this county Solicitor A. J. Hy- i Irick was informed of the deal and i immediately began an investigation. He ascertained that the men were doing business in St. Matthews with< ut a license and he, accompanied by : Sheriff Hill, began a search for the: two men and the bonds. Their chaseb hd to the Jefferson hotel, Columbia. |< T where the men, who were heavily ; armed, were arrested ut 4 o'clock a. j pi. Cash to the amount ot ib.lk-.o| was found on their persons. Sheriff Hill went to the room oe-j cupied by the men at the Jeffetsonj; hotel, accompanied by the hotel de-i, , tective, aroused the occupants and1 informed them they were under ar-;; rest. The men appeaerd very much I: k perturbed and declared that their j. " dealings with the Calhoun farmer p were absolutely fair. However, the sheriff ascertained that the Liberty j bonds had been sold to u Columbia found I bp.nk, nnci td^ uiuuvjt auu vi?x\ , on the person of the two men were! evidently funds derived from the sale. I * The prisoners were brought buck to St. Matthews and each required top put up bail in the sum of $4uu. Af- < ter their release, the oflieer says thej nun hired an automobile and went) to North, and it understood that thevi hired an automobile there to go toj Denmark. Shortly alter leaving here: a te'ephone call was received lrotn Columbia asking if the men had left j, St. Matthews. It is said that the men) will be re arrested when located. The money found in the pillow of one of the men was returned to St. Matthews. Sheriff Hill says three, revolvers were found scattered about the room in the hotel, and an emptyi whiskey bottle was also in evidence. j He says the men declared tin ir preposition to be legal and immediately, upon being aroused said they would give the money back if the farmer ?Thi-v had left a WttS IIUI Nllirmu. - . call al i 1h' hotel desk so as to catch ' an eaily morning train. o MAKES WHEEL SLEDGE TO I'KEVENT TKAGEDY Greenville Man Nam wly Escapes With Head East Ilrtween Spokes I Greenville, Sept. 13. Presence of i mind and strength of body saved! James E.

When the truck hit the wagon Mr. Flynn vur thrown against the wheel with such force that his head caught between two spokes. He was unable to extricate his head, and, while making an effort to do so. his team bolted and ran. Realizing that his only chance lay in preventing the wheel from turning. Mr. Flynn grapsed the wheel with one hand the wagon frame with the other, keeping the v.heel front turning while the team ran over 1M? yards. The frightened animals then were stopped and Mr. ^ Flynn reler.sed from the wheel. * ti iwTri; >IT.'

H. Sturgeon and daughter, Hattie Louise, of Savannah, Ga., are visiting their relatives, the .McDonalds, Wallaces and Wiggins in this vicinity. Captain Sturgeon stales* that he, alter an absence of thirty years, is glad to come hack among the people ol this state. Having come from Georgia, "the Empire State of the South," he will ever be proud that he was born in South Carolina, having run among the hrst trains that e\er blew a whistle through this part of Carolina, which today claims the distinction us the "Great Pee Dee llelt," producing more corn, cotton and tobacco per acre than any spo. in the United States. Captain and Mrs. Sturgeon state thaf if ic inrtoorl nno nf tho ereatPSt trips of their lives?having the opportunity of visiting those near and dear to them and shaking hands with old remembered friends; and still more proud to walk the streets of Dillon, the town that will always be ptoud of having borne a 6an who sleeps in Flander's Field. "He is not dead but liveth," as he who gives up his life for his country, never dies. Miss Hattie Louise, their daugh-1 ter, requests that the fallowing lines be written in memory of John H. David, who gave his life for his; Country's sake: i "He bled, O Lord, to make us free, He fought the light! He did not shirk.'* TWO FATHEltS In a certain land were two fathers.! Each father possessed the sense inaccurately described as common and each was determined that his son should, by reason ot his father's fore-< sight, lind life wholesome and pleasant. Their goals were identical, but iheir methods entirely different. One father set about the task of accumulating a great fortune. Said lit' "I do not prize weaun ior myself; my son is my greatest treasure. But I will toil early and late to accumulate a fortuue so that at my death he may inherit the whole of ii and thereafter enjoyed the sweets of lile." In the pursuit of this ambition the father was kept from his son through \ many days, and the son, as sons will, sought other comrades. After many years the father died, leaving the for-1 tune in accordance with his plan. The son mourned as deep as one can mourn ior a father with whom he is not well acquainted, and then set about enjoying the good things provided lor him. Let it be saul to hi. credit that he lultilled his father's wishes and got a dollar's worth of fun from each dollar scattered to the winds. When the fortune was gone I he found a task for which his inexperience fitted him and later becamt an excellent bricklaver and a goo citizen. The other father, equally tie . mined thai his son should enjoy the good things of life, devoted his energies to that end. fle toiled early and late to earn bread and clothing 1 his household, but permitted In...

WINDFALL OF WINK I Tlx- town of Van Wyck. just across tlx* Seaboard railroad in Lancaster county was completely lit up during Saturday and Sunday, says the Yorkville Enquirer. and (he informalion yesterday was that it was still suff< ring l'rotn one t?ig headache while the police court was engaged in inquiring into numerous disturbances and imposing tine and other penalties lor disorderly conduct. The wrecking of a big tank of scuppernong wine that was trying to get through the town on its way to St. Louts uuder the name of grape juice, was the cause of the trouble. By some kind of an accident the car jumped the track at Van Wyck earily Saturday morning and had to be left there. Either as the result of the ne Kv Dlhpr Ell Mil 11 f ll P t ft 11 k sprung a leak, and although at first they did not know what it was, the good people of Van Wyck began try-, ing to save as much waste as pos-j sble. The trick could have been, quickly and easily accomplished by] means of a wooden plug trimmed toi fit the hole; but nobody seemed to i think of that. It seemed more prac-, ticable to catch the escaping fluid in, barrels, tubs, buckets and the like,| and pretty soon every container of; whatever sort that would hold quid was full. I Hut long before the containers were full, attracted by the odor and appearance there were those who had begun to taste, and from the apparent pleasure that they seemed to derive others included many who had never others included many vho had never been known to look on the wine when it was red; but then surely it was no harm to drink grape juice. With-, in a little while the people werej singing like birds and within a littlej while more they were roaring like lions and then before anybody could epxlain they were braying like asses, and fighting like dogs and cats. In response to a riot call Sheriff. Hunter of Lancaster arrived 011 the scene during Saturday morning and, after doing what he could to com-1 pose as many fights as possible, he went to pouring out the salvage. He turned over numerous tubs and water buckets, and emptied many barrels?emptied all in sight, until the ?W.cr.,n onrrvlnc what t 111'v h;*?i certain leisure Hours, ana tnese i devoted to cultivating ttie friendship of his son and sharing the wisdom that had come to hint with the yea rs. AlVr many years lie died, leaving a debt and a Rood name. The son mourned him as one mourns a comrade. Thou he bcRan the task o! paying his father's debts. With the debt cleared he said to himself: "1 owe a greater debt to my father. 1 most be worthy o! him and acquit myself in a manner that will justify his faith and care." Poverty and ambition spurred him to industry, and while si living to merit the good opinion of his father became a great man and accumulated a fortune. And thus he came to enjoy the good tilings his father provided for him. o APPEAL FOK HELP. firujlir ur^un VIII I(> into their homes and to the woods, j Long before this, all knew what it was that had come their way, and they wanted some for another day.i After fighting the situation during Saturday and Sunday until he was well-nigh exhausted. Sheriff Hunter sent for District Prohibition Constable Horace Johnson, and Constable Johnson took charge until he was relieved by a Federal prohibition officer. The latest information yesterday was that the police court docket had not yet been cleared. n ORGANIZATION NEKDKI) Dumbarton Kobesonian. I After much argument about it and about, the announcement is gravely > made that thp cotton grower must! work out his own salvation. In that very line stand all the peoples of the earth, so no one need be alarmed. If the Southern cotton grower is to be saved lie must savP himself. Nobody is going to help him out of his distress over demoralization of the cotton market until be develops some organized inclination to help himself, spinkers advised at a meeting in Ualeigii the other day. If the Southern cotton growers will organize they can get whatever they want. But as single units tin ; will be kicked around to the end of the chapter. It is an old story but it will bear repeating. Von remember how the traveler from the North was tilled with admiration at the skill with which his negro driver handled his whip. Driving along, he'd tlick off a leaf or a fly with such ease that his skill seemed almost uncanny. They passed a hornet sitting on a mst. The hornet and nest offered a fair target and the Northern man asked why he did not try his skill on them. "Nali suh." said the driver. " a leaf am a leaf and a fly am a tly, but a hornet's nest am a organization." o WANTS TO 111 V A <iOOD I.KIT KAK New York.

There's a reason. She is a child of the circus?a child worshipped by every member of the big Sparks Circus family. Polly Vanderbilt is the name of this dainty little hidy and the reason that the average plaything means nothing in her young life is because at the present time the Sparks Menagerie presents somewhat of u kindergarden appearance?in fact babies are here, there and everywhere, so you see little Polly has netpick of real live babies to play with? even thought some of them are rather ungainly in appearance. Take for instance the babv camel, born to Soudan recently in London. Out., or Beloit, the baby kangaroo. \vho~by the way bears the distinction of being the first born in tin- I'liiied States. Next came a litter of kittens or rather cubs to Mary, a real Asiatic ; lioness, and not to be outdone by tinother members of the animal colony iof Sparks Menagerii, Java, a monkey belonging to the tribe of that name, 'gave birth to lour healthy youngsters jduring the recent visit ol the circus [ to Chicago. As it has been a lifeit inn- custom of the circus to name its (babies after the various cities in (which they are horn, Louis Iteed. tin i Menagerie Superintendent. was tit Ins j wit's end in selecting suitable mimes (for this happy family until some one j suggested the name.- of tin- suburbans ;adjacent to Chicago and the youngsters were christened with the following illustrious names?Chicago, Evanston, (Jury and Waukegan. I Is it any wonder that the .sparks Menagerie one of more than ordi nary interest these da\s and with 'such a variety of pels to plav with, that little l'olly is th,. envy or aii the children in the citns visited by tlit* circus?
