FLED FROM ENRAGED WOMAN Bear Proved More Than Match for Husband, but Ran When At- v tacked by Victim's Wife. A. B. McCloskey, a farmer near J ftyner,' was attacked by a she bear , In his barnyard and so seriously I wounded that it is feared he may die. The bear came into the yard in search of food. McCloskey shot at the ani mal with a small caliber target gun and wounded it The bear threw him to the ground and badly mangled his left arm and leg. The animal was driven off by Mrs. McCloskey, who beat it with a club. A party of farm ers started in pursuit of the animal over the mountains l^ter in the day. The experience of McCloskey is unique in this section of the state and caused great excitement in the vicin ity of Hayner, where the party of farm ers quickly gathered and started out in pursuit of the bear, under the lead ership of B. B. McCloskey, the Penn sylvania railroad station agent at Hyner, who is the wounded man's brother. They hunted over the moun- j tains near McCloskey's home during j the greater part of the day, but were unable to find any trace of the ani- ; mal. The same bear is believed to have carried off a live calf from a i neighboring farm several days ago.? Williamsport (Pa.) Dispatch to Phila delphia Record. . A Dark Mystery.

That Mark the Progress of South Carolina Peo ple, Gathered Around the State Capitol. Columbia The University of South Carolina closed its 109th session with the grad uating exercises in the chapel. Young men and women numbering nearly 100 were awarded degrees. Some receiv ed more than one diploma and a num ber secured certificates in addition to a degree. .Although the weather was extreme ly warm the chapel would hardly hold the large number of friends of the university and of graduates present. The address to the graduating class was made by A. Foster McKissick, '89, of Greenwood. Mr. McKissick, one of South Caro lina's best known citizens, and a man of recognized deep thought and accom plishments, spoke on "A Plea for Efficiency." "Let us hope that we may all reach that state of effici ency which means that the right thing is done in the right manner by the right men at the right place in the right time," said the speaker, in the summary of his plea for efficiency. Mr McKissick urged the young men i ana women 01 me giauuauug wmoo iaj strive for this great efficiency in whatever undertaking they might choose. In his introductory remarks, he paid a delicate compliment to Andrew C. Moore, acting president of the uni- i versity, who was his classmate. The speaker said: "The student body of the time of our class has a representa tive in your faculty, and that in the' person of Dr. A. C. Moore. His in fluence over his 'fellow students was far-reaching and always on the side of right and true manhood. His col lege life was an example and an in- i spiration to all of us, and his college mates are gratified that the trustees should hve selected him for such a ' prominent position in the university." There were five speakers from the university student body. E. R. Jeter spoke on "Wanted?Builders of Em- ' pires, Raymond Swartz on "The New ; Southern Statesman," J. F. Brooks on "A Problem?Its Solution," L. H. 1 Smith on "Crossing the Bar." The \ valedictory was delivered by J. Stuart J Dudley, who was selected by his class to hold this honor. The Pope medal was confered upon ' S. J. Royal, of Wilmington, N. C., a * meniDer 01 tut; grauuaLiiig iaw uass, and the Philo S. Bennett medal was 1 given to H. E. Danner, of Beaufort, a member of the academic graduating :las3.

Washington.?Congressman Byrnes secured a promise from the good roads division of the federal department of 1 agriculture to send Special Agent ] Weir to Aiken to assist in the con- ! struction of good roads thore. In this ! matter the government appropriated j $10,000 and the county of Aiken $20, 000 and Mr. Weir will assist in show ing the county authorities of Aiken now 10 oesi use tins money on me construction of good roads. Mr. ^Byrnes has been diligent in the effort to secure federal appropriations. For Florence Tomato Clubs. Miss Lillian Jacker, who has been in charge of the girls' tomato club work in Florence county for this sea son, has resigned and Miss Isla Wil loughby has been appointed in her stead. Miss Jaeger was obliged to give up the work, it proved too arduous for her strength. Miss Willoughby is a graduate oi Winthrop and is in full sympathy with the work ,and will press on the interests of the Florence clubs, so well founded by Mrs. H. T. Harllee, who was in charge of the work from its incipiency to this season. Carolinian Awards Prizes. The editors of The Carolinian, the monthly magazine published by the literary societies of the University of South Carolina have announced' that the honors for the best poem, short story and essay appearing In the mag azine during this session have beon decided as follows: Poemf "Dawn," by J.

Tendencies in the state of South Carolina toward a more intensive and varied agriculture are described for The Manufacturers Record of Balti more by E. J. Watson, state commis sioner of agriculture, commerce and industries, as follows: "In South Carolina our people are now practicing diversification to a greater extent than I had ever hoped to get them to do. I have preached in the far-rural districts and every where else, in season and out of sea son, the doctrine of raising on the farm everything that is necessary to sustain life of both man and beast, and at last the continual pounding of this doctrine is bringing the desired results throughout the state. We are now growing corn in a manner that no one dreamed possible, and in some sections not one bushel of corn is being bought outside of the state, either to feed animals or to be con verted into meal, or even already man ufactured into meal for human con sumption. This is particularly true of certain sections of the Piedmont. In the matter of small grain, they are planting more oats than we had ever thought of planting, and in some sec tions the growing of wheat is being indulged in generally, and with mark ed success. Last summer I attended a big mass meeting in one of the far rural districts of -the state, inwhlch I had started a campaign for home rased. bread two yeaTs before, and every particle of bread or cake that was used at the picnic that day was made from home-milled flour made from home-grown wheat. "Of course, while we are pushing along these lines, we are also pushing for an increase of the tobacco crop in the territtory where tobacco can be grown successfully. We are now con ducting the most vigorous kind of a campaign for the raising of hogs and cattle at home, and the state legis lature has aided in this latter by ap propriating $30,000 this year for the completion of the work of eradication of the cattle tick in South Carolina. "In other words, my efforts have been directed, day and night, for the last ten years, to bringing about a balanced agriculture, and bringing to th people a knowledge of the value of maintaining soil fertility, for an un derstanding of intensive methods of cultivation, and for getting practical ideas of the best and most successful means of marketing their products. In regard to the latter, I am operating now, with wonderful success, a state bureau of marketing, through which each week barter and exchange of commodities between the producer and the consumer direct goes on constant ly in ever-increasing volume, with the elimination of middlemen's profits.| Federal Engineer Is Pleased. Engineer Spoon of the United States office of public roads is favor ably impressed with the proposition to make the Camden-Charlotte road a conecting link between the National and Capital highways, acording to a letter received at the state depart ment of agriculture from J. W. Hamel, secretary of the Kershaw chamber of commerce. That the road be improv ed and the maintenance placed under the government supervision was sug gested by Commissioner Watson. Secretary Hamel wrote in part as follows to Mr. Watson: "Enginer Spoon passed through Kershaw yesterday on his tour of in spection. He was met at Sanders creek by Kershaw party, and from Kershaw was ancomnanied hv Mr. VVooten of Camden and Mr. Stevens of Kershaw. He is favorably impress ed with the proposition to make the Charlotte-Camden road a connecting link, as proposed by you. We are cer tainly appreciative of your efforts." Inspect Highway Connecting Link. Engineer Spoon of the United States office of public roads, in charge of the maintenance of tne sec tion of the Capital-to-Capital highway between Columbia and a point in North Carolina, has been detailed to make a survey of the highway from Camden to Charlotte, which connects the Capital route with the National highway. This announcement was made recently by Commissioner Wat son, after a telegram from L. W. Page, director of the national office, had been deceived. Investment Company Chartered. ' The secretary of state has issued a commission to the Congaree Invest ment company of Columbia with a capital of 512,500. The petitioners are Robert Moorman and T. C. Brown. Three From South Carolina. Three out of the 30 students who were graduated last week from the Sewanee Military Academy at Sewa nee, Tenn., are South Carolinians. A South Carolina boy won the medal for sabre and markmanship drill, in the annual competitive exercises of the school. The graduates are. William H. Means of Charleston, Charles 0. Brown and Albert E. Taber of Colum bia, the later of whom delivered the saluatory at the graduating exercises last Wednesday. Albert Taber also won the medals in English and Latin "Bull Bat" is Valuable in South. Washington.?Strict game laws in Southern States for protection of the night hawk or "bull bat," whose pres ence in cotton sections is declared to be of inestimable value as a check to boll weevil, was recommended in a special bulletin issued by the depart of agriculture. The night hawk, to gether with several sorts of swallows, says the bulletin, feed on the weevil while on the wing, while wrens and martins render valuable service to the fanner by picking insects from cottoi fields the growing plants. Want All'State Interested. With a view to bringing about a state-wide protest against the action of the railroad commission in order ing into effect the state interstate commerce commission expresses rate structure, a number of merchants and shippers of Columbia met in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce, discuss ed the situation and appointed a com mittee to draft circular letters to get the matter before the commercial bod ies, the shippers and consumers all over South Carolina. We rise by the things that are under our feet; By what we have mastered of good and gain, By the pride deposed and the passion slain, And the vanquished Ills we hourly meet. STRAWBERRIES. In the early season, when berries are expensive, a very few used for a .a . garnish or in pleasing v{ $! I combinations with other H JMj | dishes will not make ex r-f n?nsiv? dishes. Cold ^ molded rice with straw berry sauce is always de-1 licious. A cereal pud* ding using cream of; wheat or farina, molded and served with the sauce, is also very good. The strawberry shortcake is the na-1 tior.al dish which, everybody likes. To , make it,* use a rich biscuit dough with* out sugar, or, if any, not more than I a teaspoonful. Make the shortcake j and roll out a half-inch thick. Spread ; with butter and place the other half on top, so that when they are 'baked there will be no rough, broken edges , which are apt to come when cutting, to say nothing of making the cake i soggy. There are so many delicious straw- i berry and gelatine combinations that | J one will make no mistake in serving j j any of them. Strawberry Salad.?Wash and hull j | the berries and cut them in halves . I lengthwise and let stand 30 minutes ! ! in a honey salad dressing in a cold . place. Drain and arrange on lettuce , leaves and serve at once. To mako j the honey salad dressing use: Two tablespoonfuls of honey, three of olive oil and one and a half of lemon juice, a dash of salt and cayenne if liked. Beat until frothy. Frozen Strawberry Fruit Cup.?Take | one cupful of cubed pineapple, one cut i , of cut orange, one-half cupful of water | and sugar boiled together five minutes. I , Mix the fruits and sirup when cold 1 and let stand half an hour or longer to i blend. Make an ice of a pint of straw i berries, a cupful of sugar and a cupful ; of warm water. Hash the berries with I the sugar and let stand an hour. Then ! rub through a sieve, adding the water to hurry the process; freeze. Half fill sherbet glasses with this and hollow the center to heap the fruit mixture. Put piped whipped sweetened cream over the top and finish, with a whole berry. It Is difficult to be always true to ourselves, to be always what we wish to be. what we feel we ought to be.

Yet It Is by our lives we are Known GOOD THINGS TO EAT. While bran bread is so popular with many people it may be well to have flour, a teaspoonful of salt, a teaspoon ful of soda dissolved in three-fourths of a cupful of molasses, one cupful of raisins, dates or figs or a mixture of the three, two cupfuls of sweet milk, I stir and let stand a half-hour to let the soda act on the mixture, ae it does not make it light enough without Bake in a large loaf two hours. Nut Loaf.?To two cupfuls of mixed nut meats, using Brazil, pecans and peanuts, add one-half a teaspoonful of salt, next stir in six finely chopped ViononQo* Tvhon nrcll hlonHoii nroofl ( and Judged. a good recipe which has been tried and Is well liked. Bran Bread.? Take three cup fuls of bran, a cupful of graham, a half-cupful of into a mold and steam steadily for three hours. Cook on ice and serve in slices. For sandwifch filling sprinkle over a few drops of catsup on each slice. Chopped Steak en Casserole.?Put two cupfule of chopped steak in the center of a casserole, flavor with eel* j ery, salt, pepper, mace and a little I mushroom catsup or Worcestershire j sauce. Surround the steak with a cup- ! ful of pearl barley, pour two cupfuls of j boiling water over it and bake in a ; moderate oven for one and a half hours. Keep closely covered while cooking. Just before serving cover with a brown gravy or tomato sauce.

Number Six, carrying one Day ? Coach and a Combination Baggage 1 and Stock Car, would pause long r enough to unload a Bucket of Oysters r and take on a Crate of Eggs. In this Settlement the Leading Citl- 1 zens still wear Gum Arctics with large 1 Buckles, and Parched Corn is served t at Social Functions. 1 Two highly respected Money-Getters t of pure American Stock held forth in t this lonesome Kraal and did a General * Merchandizing. 1 One was called Milt, In honor of the Blind Poet, and the other claimed the * following brief Monniker, to wit: 1 Henry.

For Eleven Months and Three Weeks out of every Calendar year these two played Right and Left Tackle in the Stubborn Battle to Up lift the Community and better the Moral Tone. They walked the Straight and Nar row, wearing Blinders, Check-Reins, Hobbles and Interference Pads. Very-often a Mother would hurry her little Brood to the Front Window when Milt or Henry passed by carry ing under his arm a Package of Corn Flakes and the Report of the General Secretary in charge of Chinese Mis- I slonary Work. "Look!" she would say, indicating Local Paragon with index Finger- "ir you always wash behind the Ears and learn yonr Catechism, you may grow ujb to be like Him." ^But?ft7f(ry Autumn, about the time the Frost Is on the Stock Market and Wall Street Is in the Shock, Milt and Henry vould do a Skylark Ascension from the Home Nest and Wing away toward fhe Rising Sun.

HER EXPERIENCE GAINED ON TRIP 4? found That Ladies in State Agreed With Ker on One Important Question. . i >r Mangham, La.?Mrs. Liza Barber, '' of this town, who has returned from a trip In West and Middle Tennessee, has the following to say: "I have been on a trip in Middle and West Tennes see where I found many ladles using Cardul, the woman's tonic. While traveling I took great pleasure In tell* Ing what it had done for me?I not only praised Cardul?but ad^sed poor atifffirtnsr wrtmpn tn tnlro T Irtinv that Cardul cured me and I believe it will do the same for other women. Sometime ago, I could hardly stand on my feet, and I had given up ever having good health. After using two bottles of Cardui I could tell it was helping me, and I continued taking it ! for awhile. I soon felt as well as t , ever did, and could do all of my work. I shall always praise this gfoat medicine to every suffering woman. I think there Is no other half so good." Mrs. Barber would have found weak, ailing women taking Cardul al- : most anywhere she could have gone, because Cardul is recognized as the standard woman's tonic. It has helped more than a million women back to /'jj health and strength in the past 50 years. j Why shouldn't it help you??Adr* Commas and the Law. - Y?>] The comma in the British-act of parliament which has caused a dispute between Monmouthshire miners and their employers recalls the fact that ? such marks of punctuation were in troduced into law only half a century , ago.

In that year a spe cial statute was passed to allow the . text of legislative enactment to be punctuated and pointed by full-stops, etc. They aref so jeaslly interpolated and altered that lawyers know their danger and avoid them in legal docu ments.
