HONKY WAS PO?NO ?N A <j)HEST, Murdered Minor'? Chest Giles Up Treasure After Years. Three years ago 'Millard 'Partou purchased, at a salo of tho personal effects of tho lato H. B. Hines, In Rutherford county, an old tool chose for tho sum of $1.50, says a Ruther ford, N. C., special to the Charlotte Observer. Having no other uso for the antiquated affair Mr. Parton had mado a receptacle for powder and shot, usod In filling shells. In the course of time much of tho am munition sifted its way into tho crev ices of tho chest, and on Sunday, thinking to gather up all tho frag ments, tho owner turned the chest upside down. Behold! silver dollars literally rained. A falso partition in the chest had been dislodged by the jar and hoarded wealth to the amount of $410-ammunition for Christmas stockings, mixed indis criminately with that used for hunt lng purposes. Calling County Commissioner Rich ard Ledhetter, tho surprised Mr. Par ton had him count out tho money.and then turned it over to the clerk of tho Superior Court with instructions to deliver it to tho Hines heirs. It ?was later learned that Hines had no heirs, and tho long-hidden money will probably go to tho University of North Carolina. Hines was a miserly Confederate veteran and was known to have amassed consiedrablo wealth. The discovery of tho silver adds another Interesting chapter to the McIntyre case also. Hines was one of tho three men for whose murder WUi Mclntyro was indicted at tho Novem ber term of court. The others were Moiton and Ochley. Tno alleged crimes wero committed nearly four years ago, but only recently was suf llcient evidence adduced to fasten guilt. McIntyre was living In Colum bia when the indictment was return ed, but departed hastily just two days before officers from Rutherford, armed with warrants, roached tho South Carolina capital. Governor Kitchin has offered $200 reward for him, and this will probably bo In creased to $500, which will 'ho sup plemented by offers of private citi zens. Now Engine on Spree ? (Anderson Intelligencer.) The large.new shifting engine Just put Into commission In tho yards of tho Blue Ridge railroad, celebrated the holidays yesterday afternoon by jumping the track just below the freight depot and tearing up the track and roadbed for a dlstanco of fifty yards. Tho engine turned al most over and lt will require a day or two to get it back into position and tho roadbed repaired. Antics of tho "Holy Rollers." There is a controversy on between the officials of tho First Presbyterian church at Macon, Ga., and tho local sect of "Holy Rollers," or, as they prefer to be known "Children of God." For two Sundays tho "Holy Rollers," led by two prominent young Macon women and Prof. J. R. Mose ley, who recently left Christian Sci ence for this new faith, havo worship ed at tho First Presbyterian church, and that congregation declares lt hau been annoyed and offended hy the "Holy Rollor" peculiar utterances, 'frantic and violent gesticulations and excitable demonstrations. Another unusual featuro occurred Sunday morning when tho "Holv Rollers" sought to restore lifo to a woman "Holy Roller" who drowner] herself in tho river Saturday in the belief that she could walk on the. water. Tho services lasted four hours, and at tho end of the timo the woman was still dead. Some promi nent men and women of Macon aro identified with tho "Holy Rollers" sect there Engineer Killed; Fireman Hurt. Knoxville Tenn., Dec. 27.-Engi neer E. R.

The first successful pig club con tost ever conducted lu South Carolina carno to a close lu Greenville on De cember 27 th, when Master Torry T. Dill, a fourtoou-year-old farmer lad, was awarded a prlzo of $100 for growing tho biggest pig at the least cost of any of the forty-odd members of the Greenville County Pig Club. Briefly stated, this lad raised an Essex pig, six months and 14 days old, weighing 308 pounds, at a cost of 3 8-10 cents a pound. Tho pig contest lasted for twenty weeks, and tho Dill pig gained an average of 14V6 pounds each week during that time. During tho last month of tho contest the lad's pig gained in weight at tho rate of throe pounds a day. Tho prize was awarded, not to tho boy growing the biggest pig, but to tho boy growing the biggest pig at tho least cost. Several pigs weighed more than Dill's, somo of thom going as high as 4 25 pounds; but when lt carno to cost, this lad outstripped them all. Tho total cost of raising a 808-pound pig was $11.75. Tho contest was decided by Prof. C. n. Haddon, special agent of the farmers' co-operation demonstration work, and other authorities of Clem son College. Tho pig club came Into existence through tho Greenville Dally Nows offering a cash prize of $50 to the winner. Later this amount was sup plemented by an offer of $50 for the prlzo pig's carcass from tho real es tate firm of Goldsmith & Agnew.

HOIKJS for Breaking Government's "Compact with HeD." Editor Keowco Courier: The eyes of tho people of this nation are just now anxiously turned towards Wash ington. A spirit of expectancy char acterizes tho forces on both sides In ono of the greatest battles that bas ever been waged in tho history of the world. God's people have prayed and waited for relief through Con gress from tho accursed liquor traf fic, with all its blighting, damning, sin-creating effects, till some have al most lost hope and are pining under tho juniper treo of despair, waiting for some messenger to bring the good news that all is not lost and that thousands still live who have not bowed tho knee to Bacchus. To such I would say, we believe tho time of our redemption draweth nigh. After a full survey of the field, lt seems that we have gone just about as far under tho existing cir cumstances as 'lt is wise to go; un less our National Congress will force the United States government to an nul its compact with hell (the liquor trust) and cease to destroy State's rights by selling tax receipts to in dividuals to sell liquor in prohibition territory, and give protection to out laws who ship liquor into prohibi tion territory. In some Instances wo fear that we have gone too far that is, too far ahead of public sen timent. But we rejoice ID the fact that with the balance of power on our side, with 70 per cent of the aroa of the nation dry, with 45,000,000 people in thia territory, and millions hoping, praying, working to join us, while there may be in somo in stances a seeming reaction, it cannot bo permanent. Congress is bound to give relief. Even Presidential can didates have their ears to the ground. Congressmen and United States Sen ators heretofore unfavorable to our cause are making their politest bows, and aro openly proclaiming that we have won our fight and therefore are entitled to relief through tho na tional law-making body. To add to tho force and hope of our cause, the National Anti-Saloon Leaguo of America planned Its convention to be held in Washington to precede the great national conforence on the li quor inter-state commerce question. In other words, tho latter was made up largely of tho former. Tho last named conference began with a banquet at the National Hotel, attended by at least 400 men (tho papers said 600), with moro than fifty of our Congressmen and Sena tors prosont. Perfect unity prevail ed. In every speech by our great leaden.1 a note of victory was sound ed. Every temperance organization in tho nation was represented. "They were all with one accord in one place." Out of this great gath ering has emerged, as into ono, tho united forces of temperance. As a result of this conference tho star of hopo has become very bright. The twenty-six temperance organizations in tho country have joined the Anti Saloon League of America in one special effort to get a bill through this session of Congress, dostroying tho Infamous jug trade, and stopping tho salo of United States licenses to sell liquor in dry territory. Tho con forence appointed a committee com posed of able lawyers, who are to consider with their leaders in Con gress all bills which have boon pre pared, and to draft tho ono bill to bo introduced. Then all other bills aro to bo withdrawn and every temper ance organization in tho nation ls pledged to support tho accepted bill. It ls tho concensus of opinion among Congressmen, United States Sena tors and tho leaders of the temper ance forces of tho country, that this bill will pass both houses of Con gress. For this, let us hopo and de voutly pray. J. L. Harley, Supt. A. S. L. of South Carolina. Spartanburg, Dec. 25, 1911. Can't look tvoll, oat well or fool woll with impuro blood feeding your body.
