Rev. J. W. Little in trouble.
Charlotte Observer 10th inst.
Mr. Plummer Stowart went
down yesterday to Star, Montgomery
county, to appear for Rev.
J. \V Little, for whom a warrant
had been issued for assault with a
deadly weapon. Rev. Little had
said iu a sermon, so it was alleged
that any man who sold liquor
would steal a quarter off a dead
negro's eye. One Bolin took '
this up, because it was a reflec- 1
tion upon his grandfather, who '
sold liquor* Bolin made at the
preacher with a knife, and the '
preacher held him at bay with a '
stone* The warrant was, how- ,
ever,withdrawn without execution ^
Mr. Littlo is quite a well known
preacher.

Cooper of Laurens, convicted of J
manHlaugbter and sentenced to (
two years in the penitentiary in i
1903. Cooper killed his brother- 1
in-law under peculiar circum
stances. He had had several experiences
with burglars, and hearing
a noise outside his house one
night he tired out the window to (
frighten them r.way. The ball ,
struck Henderson Garret, who
was his brother in-law, and kill- (
ed him. It is slated in the peti"
lion that the jury found him guilty
under the idea that he would (
get sentence of about six months '
and when he was sentenced to two <
years, they all agreed to petition 1
for his pardon in one year. The ,
solicitor also recommended the ,
pardon.

Clemson College. Aug. 10.?
1'he institute was opened this
norning by Col. J. S. Newman.
The first speaker was Dr. G. E.
Nesom, who discussed contagious
liseases. Distemper in horses is
ibout the Hame as mnmna in man
It ain't bo stopped, but must run
its course. Tho thing to do is to
take good care of the animal. If
the animal has distemper when
young he is then immune. The
swellings which appear in this disease
should be lanced with a sharp,
clean knife, the blade being run
through a large cork till threefourths
of a inch protrudes. Dip
the knife in a solution of Carbolic
acid before using. Then syringe
tho wound every day, injecting a
2 to 5 per cent, solution of carbolic
acid into the wound Feed
90ft, easily digested food.
Farcy is glanders. Fearcy is
mango. Glanders is referred to
in the Bible. South Carolina was
almost free from this disease until
the importation of stock from
tho West. There is no cure, and
it is best to kill tho animal.
Symptoms ? loss of flesh, inability
to hold out at work or to trot, to
gethei with the fearcy appearance^
the breaking out of ulcers from
thj knees down.
Texas fever is on the wane. The
disease was discussed at length,
inocculatiou quarantine, etc., were
fully discussed.
Prof. P. T. Brodie was the second
speaker, his subject, "Good
Roads." Prof. Brodie has given
a great deal of thought to the subject
and made a clear cut speech.
He described accurately the transportation
display at the St. Louis
Exposition. He urged the impor
tance of re locating the roads on
Lho very best beds, looking for*
ward to the macadam roads later
an. Directness must be sacrificed
in order to get grade. A horse
pulls less on a road lengthened
twenty times the amout of grade
saved, than he pulls when he

Entire Family Poisoned.
A special fro.ii Spencer to the
Jbarlotte Observer, under date of
\ugust 10th, says:
The family of Mr. L. D. Cole,
jf this place, consisting of eight
members, including several boarlers,
were seriously poisoned yesterday
afternoon in cansequence
jf which all have been dangerously
ill to- day. The victims were
seized within three minutes after
sating from a dish which had been
prepared by a colored servant,
who is suspected of having injected
some deadly poison into the
iisn wtule in course of prepara*
tion. The servant disappeared
n soon as a physiscian was called
for the family Mr. G* H. Frick
ne of the victims of the poison,
s still unconscious tonight on ac
sount of the deadly poison from
which he is suffering. Four of
he victims, it is said, vomited
ilood while in extreme condition
rom the eliect of the poison, the
iharacter of which has not yet
icon determined.
A WORD
r n
The r. r East Muddle.
One auto's prediction is about
as good as another's coucerniug
tho final result of the RussoJapanesu
war. At present the
outlook for Russia is dark
enough, but it may change later
on, just as happeaed with England
and tho Boers. If Japan
does not, within three months,
force the Russian armies to
capitulate, the Baltic fleet of
Russian battleships and cruisers
may by making the Northwest
passage, which our Admiral
Melville, an old arctic explorer,
says is practicable, change the
whole scene by gaining posses
sion or control of the sea. Thee
again, both combatants may
fight to a financial collapse, giving
European powers a chance
to intervene for peace with hon
or, all around, and a general
grab-game, as happened aftei
the war on China by the alliec
armies of the continent, in lea
gue with Japan and the Unitec
States. One thing, however, ii
certain : The Japanese raus
henceforth be reckoned as i
world-power.
Then, after the tragic game i<
ended, and peace, through di
plomacy is concluded, Chini
will become, as usual, a prob
iem. Mr. Weale, wno write?
from information on this subject
in a recent article, e&ya tba
"the Chinese are as formidabh
an enemy of the Russians ii
time of peace as the Japanese ii
time of war. In business ability
there is no comparison betweei
the races. He holds that oni
Jap equals 10 Russians, on<
two Jews, and one ObinamB!
three Scotchmen. Therefori
one Chinaman is equal to C(
Russians. In Manchuria iteel
every day fresh signs may hi
seen by the intelligent observe
of how the Russian is being blec
to death by the Chinaman, aju
will be ruined in the loDg rui
if he is not more careful?war o;
no war?for the Bear is n<
match for the Dragon in timei
of peace."
According to this statement
o ?
Russia 19 between two fires, nc
matter how 9he emerges frotr
the present war. If beaten bj
the Japs, her prestige is los'
abroad and her condition a'
home will be revolutionary anc
volcanic. If she emerges ahor
of vanquishment and with hei
military honor partially saved
the Chinese are to be encounter
ea in a game of wits. If on<
Chinaman, iu business equals 6(
Russians, and there are 300,000,
000 Chinamen, it would seen
that the Bear has entered a bor
net's nest, no matter how tb<
war may end.?Augusta Chron
