r _____________ A LONE GIRL, DESERTED. Roaming in Woods Near Spartanburg, Pitiful, Desolate. Spartanburg, Nov. 15.?Tired and hungry, cold and desolate, suffering miseries unfathomable by minds which have never experienced such difficulties an>. hardships, a pretty mountain lass was found asleep in the depths of the forests near this city this morning, where she had been since October 25. Her case is a sad one, a most vivid imagination can picture nothing worse. She has been made to realize that the way of the transgressor is hard. Lured away from her happy home in Waynesville, N. C., it is said, an innocent mountain lass, inexperienced in the ways of the world that reaches far beyond the mountains towering far above the cosey little cottage that she left, she has suffered tortures that would lead any ordinary person to put an end to so miserable an existence. The departure from her home quickly followed her first sin. The lights of the cities had their fatal attraction for her. Its the same old story, arrested and served a sentence of thirty days in jail, when released she did not have money enough to buy a sandwich, and her only garment was one dress. Officers of the Salvation Army helped her, fed and clothed her. A man came, claimed that she was his cousin, and the two departed from the army headquarters and the incident for the time was forgotten. He attempted to take her to another city, but failed. She escaped and roamed through the woods for nearly three weeks. Oftimes she was days and days without food. A good man found her, brought her to this city and again turned her over to the Salvation Army, which had helped her on a previous occasion. She has been sent to the res cue home of this organization, located in Greenville, S. C. Will Promote Beauty. Women desiring beauty get wonderful help from Bucklen's Arnica Salve.

Raising his keen eyes, he said to the man who stood patiently awaiting the award of justice, "Officer, what is this man charged with?" "Bigotry, your worship. He's got three wives," replied the officer. The new justice rested his elbows on the desk and placed his finger tips together. "Officer," he said, somewhat sternly, "what's the use of all this education, all these evening schools, all the technical classes an' whot-not? Please remember in any future like case that a man who has married three wives has not committed bigotry, but trigonometry. Proceed.?Battle Creek Enquirer. Adopt 2,000 Children. Two pages of the Christmas Delineator are devoted to photographs of several hundred of the little boys and girls who have been adopted through its efforts. Here is a sample letter from the new found parents: "We love him as our 'own, and nothing, so far as we are concerned, ; can separate him from us. "To see how he has grown, mentally and physically, is the strongest argument in favor of the home rearing as compared with that of institutional care. He has a mother who loves him, to love; he owns his playthings; he has the whole field of home to roam over, and it is his: the truth is, he feels that he is de facto head of the home. "To have seen the forsaken little wanderer of six months ago with scarcely ambition enough to move and hardly power to walk, you would not recognize the care-free, romping fellow whose joyous merry laugh is now ringing through my library. "God bless you in your mission of helping little lives to such expansion. We'owe The Delineator a debt we will never be able to pay, for it was through you we were introduced to our home's happiness. "At first we thought we would do it as a duty, now duty is no longer the thought, it is the pleasure love brings." Car ot Cotton tsurnea.

Clothing Catches Afire When Child Lights "Rabbit Tobacco." Atlanta, Nov. 18.?Lighting his pipe filled with "rabbit tobacco" Maxey Sanders, aged five, was burned to death yesterday afternoon when his clothes ignited at the open grate. Several playmates were with the little fellow and all were learning to smoke. Another name for "rabbit tobacco" is "life everlasting." One Word May Cost $10,000. Swainsboro, Ga., Nov. 17.?The one word "broke," alleged to have been written across a draft drawn on Brown & Brown, a firm of this nlaoe. has caused suit to be filed by that firm against the Citizens' bank of Swainsboro, and damages for $10,000 for alleged libel have been asked. They allege that a draft for $30.75 was drawn on them by a Savannah concern, placed for collection in a Savannah bank and sent in turn to the Citizens' bank of Swainsboro; that the draft was returned to the maker with "broke" written across it They allege much damage was done to the firm's credit by this action. That Scurrilous Letter. During the recent congressional campaign there was circulated a certain scurrilous letter, which was afterwards denounced as a forgery. There was, if we remember correctly, rewards totaling fifteen hundred dollars offered for the apprehension of the parties responsible for the writing of this letter. Also, one of the candidates employed a detective to investigate this matter, and a few days before the last primary he announced that he ? - a 1- _* was on me iracK oi me &um.j yaities and promised that in a short while he would make public these names. As yet we have waited in vain, and the whole matter seems to have been lost sight of. However, there are many persons in Aiken county, and throughout the district, who would like to know the result of the investigation. Can anyone tell us if the guilty parties have been discovered? And if they are known, why have they not been arrested and tried? There are some very suspicious circumstances surrounding this whole affair and we would like to see this mystery cleared up.?Voter in Horse Creek Valley News. Saves an Iowa Man's Life. The very grave seemed to yawn before Robert Madsen, of West Burlington, Iowa, when, after seven weeks in the hospital, four of the best physicians gave him up. Then was shown the marvelous curative power of Electric Bitters. For, after eight months of frightful suffering from liver trouble and yellow jaundice, getting no help from other remedies or doctors, five bottles of this matchless medicine completely cured him. Its positively guaranteed for stomach, liver or kidney troubles and never disappoints. Only 50c. at People's Drug Co., Bamberg, S. C. Warren Township Will Secede. "M. M. W.," writing from Smoaks to the Branchville Journal, has the following to say regarding the movement to annex Warren township to Bamberg county: Viewing the new cbunty proposition from a "fence rider's" attitude it seems evident that the upper portion of Colleton county, known as Warren township, will succeed in cutting itself from its mother county and go into Bamberg. If this plan is carried out Colleton county will certainly be the loser, while Bamberg will gain. If Colleton loses this portion of itself it will be, in our estimation, (and am sure others will agree) shed one of its most valuable jewels; and ..if a strong effort is not made to hold this inestimable territory the succeeding generations will look back on this event as a lost opportunity which their ancestors refused to grasp. Why do the people of this community want to disconnect themselves from Colleton? They want two absolutely necessary things? good roads and stock law. Why cannot Colleton give to its dearest children that which would make them happy; or will she stand firm and see rebellion and separation come? In 1776 thirteen little colonies strung along the Atlantic coast declared themselves a free and independent people from their oppressor and strenuous master. When during the middle of the nineteenth century, the North being much stronger than the South, their views were oppressive regarding State rights. We withdrew from the Union in order to have our rights. When they tried to force us back we fought for years in order to retain them. The same spirit has now broken out in Colleton, and should not these wrongs be redressed the only remedy is Bamberg. V BOLD ATTEMPT FRUSTRATED. Former Soldier Tries to Rob National Bank at Deadwood, S. D. Deadwood, S. D., Nov. 18.?t-Frustrated in a bold attempt to hold up the First National Bank, of this city, single-handed and in broad daylight, Thomas Deaven, who says he is an ex-private in the United States army, formerly stationed at Fort Niobrara, in Nebraska, is in jail here. Deaven entered the bank during business hours yesterday, covered the cashier with a revolver and demanded all the money within reach. The cashier ducked under the counter and Deaven, firing a fraction of a second too late, sent a bullet into tVio wall The would-be bandit was overpowered by by-standers while trying to fight his way to an automobile, which he had waiting for him outside the bank. Thanksgiving of Our Childhood. In childhood Thanksgiving meant for us the coming home of grandparents, uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters, the entire cousinhood, all the boys and girls and all the babies. Those were good times. It was fun for little feet to run on errands, and little hands to wash currants, seed raisins, shred citron, and assist in setting the table and doing any little thing with which they could be trusted. How proud we were to stand on the step ladder and take from the shelf the best china, piece by piece, handing it down to mother below; and with what gleeful zest we rushed to the door, as for a day or two before the auspicious Thursday guests began to arrive, and letter and telegrams out of the ordinary brought messages from the scattered kindred. One year we would be going somewhere and that was delightful beyond words.. Another year we were staying at home, and that was better still, for the dear people were coming to us. ?^ho minded sleeping on a sofa or curling up on a divan if one's own bed could be given to a -l-lil * TT visiting relative. nuw cagui i ^ nc begged that a favorite teacher who could not go to her home many miles across the country should be included at our feast, and how more than happy we were when we were trusted with baskets that made a real Thanksgiving for cur friends who were too poor or too lonely to have the day wear an aspect of rejoicing. Thanksgiving to the boys who had the usual appetites of growing lads might have been spelled by the synonym of roast turkey and pumpkin pie, but the little girls were romantic, and rose superior, in part at least, to the pleasure of the dinner. We probably went to church in the morning or Thanksgiving services in the afternoon, but the midday dinner was the coronation of the anniversary, and nothing was permitted to interfere with the perfection of every detail. Thanksgiving is one of our dearest possessions in maturity. The fine gold of a sweet memory is never dimmed. We had no anxieties then, no cares, we were children at home, and the day was not long enough for our delight. If, as there should be, there is frequent talk at the home table about current events and politics, and the abundant harvests, and our peaceful relations with other nations, even the youngest child shall be made to understand why Americans pause in the swiftness of their tremendous pace and pause if but. for a day once a year to praise God from whence all blessings flow. Perhaps we ought to be more thankful for the fact that we continue what the fathers began, in publicly and universally At** n 11 onri o n riA fah v? (tUKUU Wieugiug UUI allegiance (.ij uui Heavenly Father than for any other fact in our history. We are receiving and assimilating an immense population of immigrants, and our country from coast to coast is cosmopolitan. Are we training our children to be good Americans? Are we cultivating in them the bravery of the pioneers, the high standard of the early colonists and the courage and fortitude of the men and women who laid the foundation, broad and deep, of this vast republic so that it" will be safe in their hands? A. D. J. Takes Dose of Poison. Hartsville, Nov. 16.?Maurice McDonald, a clerk in the Bank of Hartsville, committed suicide here to-day by taking a dose of strychnine in the Hotel Marguerite, where he locked himself in a room before taking the fatal dose. There is no charge of a shortage in his accounts, though the young man is alleged to have killed iiimself on account of dissipation, which he accounted for by saying that he had more work than he could do. After taking the poison McDonald called for a physician who arrived a ~i * * :?- u* oiiui I Liiut; uvriLfic xivr cApiicu, The body will be taken to Kershaw to-morrow for burial. i. \ v.' TAX NOTICE.
