A. C. L. MAN DEAD 4 v J; L, Motte Thought to Hat* Been Tkrm from Tnui. Florence, Aug. 20.?Missing since Wednesday night, the body of J. L. ' Motte, of Charleston, a special officer of the Atlantic Coast Line police department was found lying in the ditch by the railroad tracks a mile and a half north, of New Hope. Section hands who found the body were <4 unable to identify it. Word was soon received from Charleston that Mr. , Motte had been missinjg and the body was identified by railroad officers who went to the spot from Florence. Mr. Motte*s neck had be*n broken and his body had .every appearance of having been badly bruised. It is ^ supposed that the officer was thrown from the top of the freight train on which he was traveling by some person whom he was attempting to arrest. Mr. Motte's pistol and his flashlight were,found some distance from the body. There were no >apers in his pockets. Mr. Motte had not been heard from since Wednesday night, when he left here on a Charleston bound freight train. That day he brought two prisoners here from Charleston. He was thirty years old and unmarried. I u - SLIGHTLY PUZZLING I : . |.

They never have more than one collar or one idea at a time. Like Turkish cigarettes, men are all made of the same material, the only difference being that some are a little better disguised than others. Generally . speaking, they may be divided into three classes: Husbands, bachelors and widowers. An eligible bachelor is a body of vanity completely * surrounded by women. An ineligible bachelor is a mass of obstinacy and surrounded by suspicion. Husbands are of three varieties: Prizes, surprises and consolation prizes. ^ Making a* husband out of a man is one of the highest plastic arts known to civilization. It requires science, culture, common sense, faith, hope and chanty; especially charity. In these days of feminism a husband is of no importance whatever, until you have tried living your whole life without one. A divorced husband is better than none at all. , It has 'been a matter of scientific wonder that a soft, fluffy, tender, violet-scented, sweet little thing like a woman should enjoy kissing a. big, awkward, stubby-chinned thing like a man.?The Buzz Saw. J / ' ; _ i Room For More. > i Bishop Bratton, at a dinner in Jackson, was genially patronized by a millionaire. i "I never go to church," the millionaire said. "I guess you've noticed that, bishop?" "Yes, I have noticed it," said Bishop Bratton, gravely. "I guess you wonder why I never ?o to church, don't you?" the millionaire pursued. "Well, IH tell you why, bishop. There are so many hypocrites there.". "Oh, don't let that keep you away," said Bishop Bratton, smiling. "There is always room for one more."?Detroit Free Press. * ^ Pumncf I ft uiuiiu* |; Yob 11 nj! ? e; i You It : \m.' i; ifou ^ |P* ' . int To Buy * LINE.... ne around.

The older boys were playing marbles. Thiree-year-old Bobby wished some agates like his brother had and asked father for two cents to buy one with. The money was given to him and he immediately wished to go to the store to make the pur chase. So persistent did he become that father said: "If you don't keep still about that agate I will take those pennies away from you." "What will you do with the pennies if you do take them away?" he asked. "Why, I'll put them back in my purse." "Will you take them uptown when pou go to the office?" "Yes; I will."

C.J Aug. 19, 3t. oaw. r ATHLETES G00b STUDENTS Columbia, Aug. 20.?One of the finest records, ever made by a college football team was scored by the University of South Carolina eleven 1920 and it was not the defeat of Clemson in the annual Fair Week game either. In fact, the record referred to had nothing whatever to do with football. It was made in the classroom and is therefore all the more surprising in view of the fact that college gridiron heroes are popularly believed to be interested in little else than that game while in college. Indeed, it would not be going too far to say that some of them never get beyond the first semester examination. But the records at the University of South Carolina disprove all this in the case of the Gamecock eleven of 1920?the little team that upset all the dope by walloping Clemson last fall. These records, recently compiled, show that of the twenty-seven boyB who played in varsity and scrub games last year all but one completed his entire year of scholastic work and passed his courses. The One man who failed to keep pace with his companions fell by the wayside because it became necessary for him to hunt a job in order to help bolster the rapidly diminishing bank account of his father. When these facts were brought to light at the University the other day Carolina men over the state were as pleased to hear of them as they were to get the score of the Clemson game a year ago. It was felt? by everyone that no team in the South i-an up a better score in its annual nine month's conflict with King Knowledge, the hardest opponent any college man goes up against while attending his Alma Mater. Too Bigamy. A man ?who married fourteen wives in three years proved to be a deserter from both the ?rmy and navy.
