Affairs in our town seem to be on the quiet order. The continued prev fdence of the grip keeps many of our p: people at home, though I believe the disease is on the wane. Dr. Fox is still confined to his room with rheumatism. Mrs. Boldridge, wife of the Bap tist minister, has been seriously ill ^ for three weeks. W. F.

Bodie of Leesville, is again able to be up after a painful illness. I recall with gratitude the generosity ^ of this good man, and sincerely hope ^ that many years of happiness will be accorded him for his kindness to the ij fatherless boy and other numberless r charities. n The weather yesterday being fine all our churches were filled. Mr. r Boldridge, though much embarrassed g by domestic afliiction, filled the pulpit at the Baptist church. Mr. Mc- ? Cain also preached in the afternoon f, and at night at the Methodist church. W. C. Bates has embarked in the ^ telephone business and his drug . store is temporarily in charge of Dr. s E. K. Harden. j The tennis club practices daily and ^ Saturday played the Johnston society and return to town with the honors of the day. The Salem church centennial was an event of great interest. On the j opening. Dr. Holland preached an able discourse, and in the afternoon v Jj of the same day Rev. N. D. Bodie delivered an address. On the 9th Rov. J. D. Shealy preached in the morning and in the afternoon Rev. L. E. Busby delivered an historical c address, which was complete and interesting covering the ground of the rise ahd progress of the church from its establishment to the present time. ^ We regret to learn that a difficulty ^ occurred at Leesville Saturday after noon in which W.

Hon. S. P. Win gard passed through our town yesterday. He is looking and-avft.rrgret ^ so little of him. ^ Farm work has been much retarded e by unfavorable weather. If we are to judge from the quantity of cotton that has been brought in during the ^ last two weeks there will be enough old stock on hand to keep the world clothed without the aid of a new crop for the next two years. ^ Occasional. Batesburg, S.

The clock is a wonderful, a mechanism, 21 inches high, nine feet wide and three feet deep. It indicates the time to the last stroke in ^ the year 9999. A hammer is lifted ^ every hour and the image of an angel strikes the minutes on a bell, while another stikes the quarter hours A skeleton representing death strikes the hours. ^ After the sounding of each hour, figures representing the twelve apos- ^ ties appear and bow before an image of Christ. At 6 o'clock a procession of praying monks passes into the j entrance of a church. Before mid- j night a watchman gives the signal j for each hour, and at 3 o'clock he is _ Ck released and the first crowing rooster jg appears. During Christmas times E there are singing choruses, and the ? four seasons are represented by symbolic figures. By means of an inge- v nious invention, the entire functions f of this clock can be shown in twenty y minutes. c k CLUIS MEETINGS.

He went there to ^ ring back J. D: Bryant; who was ranted on a charge of forgery in jexington county. Sheriff Drafts eceived news of his arrest some time ? s go and presented the case to Gov- ^ rnor Tillman who made a requisiion on Governor Hogg of Texas, for he delivery of the prisoner. q Bryant was lodged at Bonhara, .'exas. When Sergeant Hartin ar- ^ ived there the necessary "papers had . ot arrived. Governor Hogg, when l ll elegraphed to, replied that he had eceived the requisition and would end the papers at once. "When the elegram was shown Bryant he said hat there was no necessity to wait or the papers, would come at once, j All was serene and Sergeant Har- f in anticipated no trouble. Bryant J 3 a powerful mari, standing about ^ ix feet in his socks and weighing f 75 or 180 pounds. His weight is c lot made by fat but by hard muscles ^ nd big bones. He would be an * iglv man to meet in A personal en- ? ounter. t The Texas Sheriff told Sergeant f lartin that the only thing Bryant >ossessed with which he could harm dmself was taken from him and he ras handcuffed. 1 Aboard the train the prisoner 1 eemed quiet and Sergeant Hartin >aid no particular attention to him. Suddenly a lady shrieked out "that aan is taking laudanum!" Sergeant Hartin rushed to the >risoner but found that he had allr eady swallowed the contents of a : i - - 1 * 1 1 _ /v? en cents viai 01 lauuanum, a kujjiient quantity to usher his spirit to he land of the departed. Search j fas made through the train, aboard rhich, fortunately, a physician was ound. * The doctor immediately ordered eroic measures and a wild scene en ued that would have been extremely omical had it not been an issue of Lfe and death. The prisoner .was made to walk, o keep up a steady tramp up and [own the aisle of the car. It is Lot easy for a man in full possession f his senses to pace the aisle .of a ' ar and the farcical appearance of a nnf?or fVlft infllionrvfl nf ft Tlftf- ( LJICIlU UUV4VX WUV 4UAAMVMVV W* ?V,. y otic parading up and down between ^ J he seat of a passenger car whirling !j hrough space at the rate of forty ailes an hour can be imagined but annot be described. The passengers were kept beating him awake ,nd moving. He swayed and swung : nd staggered up and down the car oiling and stumbl ing, strinking the eats and bumping the passengers. Svery time the train swung a curve h? poor prisoner went through wild 1 I terrible gyrations and gymnasics, while the imperturbable physiian merely chuckled that it was ;ood for him. This rough treatment had the i lesired effect, and after awhile the 8 j ffect of the narcotic wore off. Bry- t ?- h ? ? 'I V* r* ^ r\ ,-J nil r Llli lesuuieu mo ocau tiuu au >t?o f erene and lovely. : Bryant was not satisfied with the t ailure of his attempt at self-murder. ?he rough experience of being beaten t nd pinched and tossed over seats, 1 rhich bruised and bumped him, had 1 mall effect on him. He was deter- t lined not to come back to South [ Carolina, to answer for his crime 1 nd let his friends and comrades see is shame. A closer watch was kept on Brynt after his first attempt, but as lomer nods sometimes, Sergeant lartin slightly relaxed his vigilance. le turned his head for a second, and ,8 quick as a flash Bryant, though landcuffed, flung up the window tear him and sprang out. Had he alien he would have been crushed ,nd killed instantly, for the train ras speeding along at the rate of ( orty miles an hour. He got his ] >ody through and was falling when Sergeant Hartin caught his feet and j iwung to him. A brakeman came to t lis assistance and caught one of the % )risoner s plantigrades. It was a earful moment, the body of the j >owerful and heavy man hung out of 1 he window and swayed with the ^ notion of the train. The two men ^ot a purchase, and, exerting their itrength, hauled in Bryant, who beran to look some the worse for wear. ' i The journey was still young, the ibove thrilling experiences having jccurred within a few hours after ;he start. Sergeant Hartin was letermined that no further attempt should be made by the prisoner. ETc procured a heavy chain from the jaggage car and chained his man lown to the seat. Every time cars ; >vere changed the same process was jone through and no further incidents , occurred. "When Sergeant Hartin 1 - J- -A _ i. _ A - A _ ?_L 1. * _ 1 _ gOt out Ub BlUUOiiS LU gOb 1J1B UltJiUS, be would have meals for the prisoner put up in the shape of lunches and be fed him on the cars. At Augusta Sergeant Hartin telegraphed Sheriff Drafts and at Lexington the prisoner was turned over ! to the sheriff' who conducted him to jail. Before leaving Sergeant Hartin _ Iryant told him that he would never ome to trial, th'.t he would kill himelf ere he faced a judge. U Bryant is young and strong and omes of a good family. Formerly ^ e was a school teacher, but whisky ras his master and dragged him own. On January 14 he raised a fo heck signed by his father-in law, I. R.
