r MOUNTAINEER PARDONED. HIS WIFE HELPED TO SECURE THE PARDON. Officers Think It Impossible to Make ? Money In Mountains Unless Whiskey is Handled. I Greenville, Aug. 16.?Avowing that he is innocent of the offense for which he was sent to jail and t declaring that he is grateful to President Wil6on for his pardon and to Congressman Johnson and to Senator Tillman for their intervention in his I behalf, Noah R. Wilson, a well-to-do citizen of Saluda township, this county, who has been pardoned by the president from a six months sentence for violation of the internal revenue laws, stated to a reporter today that he expects to leave the jail tomorrow for his mountain home to spend the L balance of his days. B Wilson who is now in his sixtyI second year, is a man of means and as he avers, has acquired most of his money from the lumber business in the mountains of Saluda township. For several years Wilson was a building contractor in Greenville. ^ Mountain Life, His Desire. It was his life's desire, he stated, ? to own a large plantation in the mountains where he and his wife and family could live away from the humdrum of the city and having some money from his building operations he purchased a tract in Sa\ luda township, his present home where he now owns about 900 acres nf -amnriprt land a saw mill and a spoke and handle factory. He laughingly remarked today that his prosperity probably aroused the suspicions of the revenue officers, who, he stated, are of the opinion that a : ^ man cannot make money in the mountains unless it is through illegal making and selling of whiskey. He stated that he had never made a ? drop of liquor in his life, but on the contrary was eager to suppress blockading, as he knew it meant ruination to any man. Claims Hs's Innocent. He thinks that his arrest, which was made some time after the seizure of a distillery, was due to mistaken identity. He stated that he was not even aware of the fact that a still was in operation on his place, and that he did not anticipate a trial, but thought that the grand jury would throw the case out immediately upon the lack of evidence. Upon the return of an indictment against * him, he stated that he asked the presiding judge to grant a contin uance of trial in order that he might employ some of the best talent in the state to represent him." He wanted to be cleared of the crime, he said, for the sake of wife and children. "It was for the love and honor of them," said Mr. Wilson, tearfully, "that I was anxious to be exonor ated. As for myself I knew that I was innocent and didn't object to punishment." The Bath House. The Houston Post relates that Senator Vardaman, at a luncheon, said of a certain trust's defense. "The defense is worse that the offense. It takes me back to Bath > Beach. "A young lady at Bath Beach had occasion to complain about one of the bath house attendants, an old fellow who, in the hurry of cleaning up, would sometimes burst in upon her in her bath house without knocking. "One morning after this had bapj, pened for the sixth or seventh time, the young lady took the old fellow to task. " 'See here, Peters," she said 'there's no lock on my bath house, as you know, and I must insist on your knocking before you enter. It hasn't N happened yet, but it might very well happen that you'd come in on me > when I was all undressed.' "Peters, with a chuckle, hastened to reassure the young lady on this ? point. " 'No fear of that miss.' he said. 'No fear of that. There's a knothole in the door what I always look through before I venture in.' " How to Feed Salt to Stock. I am asked: "How would you feed salt to livestock?" Salt may be given daily mixed with the feed. If this be done, not over three fourths to one ounce should be given daily for every 1,000 pounds of . the animal's weight. After extensive experiments Babcock concluded that a dairy cow should have about three- fourths ounce for 1,000 pounds weight daily and three-fifths ounce additional for every twenty pounds of milk produced. Owing to the danger of giving the salt irregularly, and giving too much at times, the best plan is to give about one ounce a day for every 1,000 pounds weight for about a week in order to satisfy any undue craving for it, and then put the salt in boxes under shelter where the animals can run to it and eat at will.? Progressive Farmer. STABLER WON'T ACCEPT OFFId Resigns as Mayor-Elect of St. Mat thews?His Reasons. St. Matthews, Aug. 13.?A bomt shell was thrown into the local municipal camp this afternoon when J. G Stabler, Esq., the newly elected mayor of St. Matthews, sent in his resig nation. It develops that the mayorelect has been seriously considering this matter since the election lasi Thursday. He throws up the spong< in answer to numerous and repeated charges *that there is a bare possibility of his majority of 13 votes having been accomplished by the negrc vote. Twenty-two negroes voted. Mr. Stabler takes the ground thai he is a white Democrat and has tht respect of the best people, and thai 11C Cdii 11VJL aiJLUt U lu tai^i iiiv_cr lino guuu will and esteem by lying quietly under the charge that he was hoisted into office by colored Republicans, The situation is peculiar and Mr. Stabler, it seems, was innocently made a party to an unwise complication oi circumstances. The fight, it is said, was really upon Chief of Police Dowie and Clerfc Tom L. Buyck, both of whom are good friends of Mr. Stabler. Under all the circumstances Mr, Stabler feels that he cannot retain his own self-respect and that of his friends by resting under the charge o] fraud to procure his election. The mayor-elect is an able and promising attorney, who made a splendid rue for the Senate last summer, and there is no doubt about his having a bright future ahead, politically and otherwise. His friends regret exceedingly the turn in local affairs by which the town misses the services of an able officer. THE CALL OF THE WILD. Montana Dog Led Wolf Pack Until Killed by Hunters. Bisley, a large Airdale dog, owned by W. H. Reber, of Butte, was killed while leading a pack of wolves near Red Lodge, says Butte correspondence in The New York World. Three wolves were shot at the same time. The following story can be verified in ovorv Hatail anrl nrnvpc that T.nndfin's "Call of the Wild" is not altogether fiction. Bisley was the special property of Edward, W. H. Reber's son, and was kept on the Reber ranch. "He was the best hunter I have ever seen," said the young man. "I have been out with him many times in a boat on Rosebud Lake. The ducks would no sooner drop in the water than Bisley was out of the boat and after them. Late last winter he disappeared. A few weeks prior to that he would go off in the woods, some times staying away whole days. Then he vanished altogether. I thought he had attacked a cougar and got the worst of it." John Dunn had been troubled with prowling wolves the last few months. He saw the pack several times and told of a strange looking light-brown wolf that led the bunch. He believed that if he could get the leader the wolves would cease their daring attacks upon his stock. At last Mr. Dunn and several cowboys started after the bunch. They hunted most of the day, setting snares. The pack was rounded up and four of the animals fell. The leader was the first one shot, as Mr. Dunn was particularly anxious to get T_ TTT1 ^ C- TV J mm.

A collar was still around his neck and the name of the owner on the brass tag. A Dark Hint. Somebody was talking to a newly married couple who were spending their honeymoon at Scarborough. "You must not leave Scarborough till you've seen the cemetery," he said; "it's well worth a visit." They said they would go, but they forget about it until too late. The young wife reproached her husband. "George," she said, "you haven't taken me to the cemetery yet." "Well, dear" was the reply, "that is a pleasure I must defer until some time in the future."?Pearson's. Big Chief Understood. A Kansas City minister, visiting an Indian reservation in Idaho, inquired of a government agent where the missionary could be found. "The Chief can probably tell you." replied the agent, pointing out his tent. "Clasp your hands, look heavenward and ask, 'Jesus man?' He will understand you, doubtless." The reverend gentleman did as directed. "I presume you are seeking the missionary?" replied the Indian ir j excellent English. "Please be seated, S sir, he will be in presently. If you will excuse me I will go down tcr the agency and lambast into unconsciousness that fool clerk who directed you here."?Kansas City Times.

J > Anderson, Aug. 16.?Clyde, the 10 year-old son of Luther Erskine, was . shot and wounded by Homer Eisman . at 8 o'clock tonight, when Eisman . fired on a dog supposed to be mad as - it attacked young Erskine. The dog r attacked one or two people before t reaching the Eisman home. It had a j fit in front of the Eisman place on I Dickson avenue and Mr. Eisman . hunted his gun. The Erskine child . was crossing the street and the dog ) was attempting to attack him when Eisman fired. The shot took effect t in the boy and also in the dog. The > boy's condition is not considered t very serious. The dog ran off in a [ wounded condition. ^ Silk Factory For Anderson. Anderson, Aug. 16.?It will be necessary to transplant 5,000 silk J trees by Mr. V. K. Osiglan in order to get the silk farm located here. These trees are all now on Mr. Osig- P lan's farm near Augusta, and it is ! : his intention to transplant the en- * 1 tire 5,000 trees and bring them to ?? Anderson, where they will be replanted as the basis for the silk facL tory which he contemplates putting [ in this city, according to a statement c made today at the offices of the ! Chamber of Commerce by Mr. Osig' lan. I ) Paying Prisoners Wages. | Kansas is now paying the prison- * , ers of the Kansas penitentiary 10 cents a dav and the money is to be > used to help the dependent families of the prisoners. Heretofore Kan- . I c sas has been allowing 3 3-4 cents a day to each prisoner, to be given C him upon his release and on which ^ 1 he could start life anew. The 1913 legislature passed a law increasing & that amount to 10 cents a day, and ? if there are dependent children of the prisoner or a wife dependent ?? upon him the prison board is to pay the money tp the dependents instead of to the prisoner on his release. Ef- ^ forts were made to make the amount ? 25 cents a day to prisoners with relatives, but the legislature refused to make the allowance.?New Orleans i , Picayune. A Of Two Evils. The little boy in this story from ^ Touche a Tout was evidently a firm believer in the old adage, "Of two evils choose the less." Turning a corner at full speed he collided with' . 1 the minister. IS "Where are running to, my lit- ^ i tie man?" asked the minister, when ^ i he had regained his breath. ^ i "Home!" panted the boy. "Ma's i going to spank me." "What!" gasped the astonished minister. "Are you eager to have your mother spank you that you run home so fast?" "No," shouted the boy over his shoulder as he resumed his homeward flight, "but if I don't get there i before pa, he'll do it!"?Youth's Companion. Made Him Homesick. A man walked into a restaurant p and inadvertantly left the door open. i A man eating his lunch immediately i yelled: "Shut the door, you fool! Where were you raised?in a barn?" The man who had left the door j open closed it, and then, dropping into a seat, buried his face in his f{ hands and began to weep. The big man looked uncomfortable and finally rising, walked up to the g weeper and tapped him on the shoul- _ der. * "M" ^ " v.? ?'T .u > 11 icnu, iic oaiu, j. uiuu ~ I ' intend to hurt your feelings. I just | wanted you to close the door." The man who was weeping raised his head and grinned. "Old man," he said, "I'm not crying because you asked me if I was ! raised in a barn. The fact is that I - was raised in a barn, and every time I hear an ass brav it makes me homesick."?Lippincott's. i Real Cause for Alarm. Smith had just been operated on for appendicitis, says Tit-Bits. Dur- fi ing his period of convalescence he be- tl I came quite chummy with the two oth- C | er patients who shared the ward with v j him. o "How are you feeling, boys?" said a< | Smith one morning to them. S ; "Oh, we are all right." thev both ? ' c j answered together, "considering that ' I we had to undergo two operations." | "Why, how was that?" questioned '; Smith, in an agitated voice. ' "Because the doctor assigned to ! this ward is an idiot. In collecting 1 his instruments after the operation, St > he missed a needle and a pair of !)r [ scissors. The former he found in me, t ! and the latter in my friend here on t0 *, the right. You see now the reason ? 1 j for the two operations." Just then the surgeon put his head ^ : in at the door and asked: "Has any one seen my silk hat?" p: Smith fainted. W 1 ' . v v . Jailey Military Institute Formerly the S. C. C. I. of Edgefield) S. C.
