tumorous department. Impracticable.?Republican State Committeeman George Aldridge enjoys telling of an experience he had the other day, when near his residence on Plymouth avenue, in Rochester, he paused to watch a youngster with a pile of pumpkins. The youth had cut faces in each pumpkin and was sticking them on the pickets of the fence. "What are you doing, my little man ?making jack-o'-lanterns?" asked the genial committeeman. "No, sir; I'm playing election," replied the boy. "And what are the pumpkins for?" continued the boss of Monroe county. "Oh, they're the folks we vote for. I play this one is mayor, and this one is treasurer and this one is alderman. Then I stand off and throw rocks at 'em and see how many I can smash." The committeeman enjoyed the youngster's vivid conception of the coming election and asked: "But why don't you have one for Aldridge?" " "Cause I hain't got a big enough punkin," replied the boy, honestly.? New York Times. Circumstantial Evidence.?He is an honest man, says the Philadelphia Press, but he has lost faith in circumstantial evidence, and this is the reason: The other day he was riding home from work beside a man whom he knew only by sight. The latter had an umbrella, which he placed between them. The just man continued: "When I got up to leave the car I absentmindedly picked up the umbrella. Halfway down the aisle the fellow caught up with me and asked me to surrender it. I did, but I suppose my explanation?certainly a flustered one?was unconvincing. "A week later my wife asked me to stop at a repair shop and bring back a half dozen umbrellas we'd had there. I did so. On the car I again sat by that fellow whose umhreua ni sianeu away with seven days before. He looked at my bundle of umbrellas looked up and smiled. Then he said: "This seems to have been a pretty good day for "your business." < ? Cruel Girl.?"Do you think," he asked her, merely because he didn't have anything else to say, "that there Is much in this heredity theory," says the Chicago Record-Herald. "For instance, I read somewhere the other day that If a man's father and grandfather were preachers it would be easy for him to become a preacher or if one come from a long line of soldiers it would be natural for him to pick up the art or war without much trouble. The idea seemed to be that whatever a man's ancestors were it would be easiest for him to be." "Well," she replied, "I wouldn't be surprised if there were a good deal of truth in that theory. I've always noticed that most men can make monkeys of themselves without much trouble." Charity Begins at Home.?Dr. Newell Dwight Hlllis was called the other day to see a sick woman who is not a member of Plymouth church, though she lives near by on Columbia Heights, says the New York World. While he was waiting in the parlor till she was ready to receive him he was entertained by her young daughter. "I am greatly pleased that your mother thought of me in her illness," said Dr. Hillis. "Is her own pastor away?" "No," replied the daughter, "oh, no, but she was afraid she had something contagious, and she didn't want to run any risks." The Way He Would Say It.?It was during the reading lesson in one of our public schools that a little lad read in a jerky, expressionless way, "Mamma, see the hawk," says the Chicago Journal. The reading was so very poor that the teacher said: "John, you know you would not talk that way to your mother." "No'm," replied the lad. "Well, now," said the teacher, in a kindly way, "you read it exactly as you would say it to your mother." And here is his reply: 'Look, mom, at that thpra hawk!" Cheap at the Price.?It is told of Bishop Williams of Connecticut, for many years a presiding bishop of the Episcopal church in America, who lived all his life a bachelor, that he was talking one day with a young man from the west about a tax a western state was trying to impose on bachelors, the tax to be increased a certain per cent for every ten years of bachelorhood, says Pilgrim. "Why, bishop," said the young man, "at your age you would have to pay about 5100 a year." "Well," said the bishop, quietly and in his old-time vernacular, "it's wuth it." Disillusioned.?Some officers of a PrifioV^ eKin ti'ara rlininor with Ci mfin darin at Canton, says the New York News. One of the guests wished for a second helping of a savory stew, which he thought was some kind of duck, and not knowing the word in Chinese, held his plate to the host, saying, with smiling approval: "Quack, quack, quack!" His countenance fell when his host, pointing to the dish, responded: "Bow, wow, wow." Chilled.?"Look into my eyes," pleaded the devoted youth, "and tell me what you see within them."

Lantern, October 20: Coroner Gladden was notified yesterday morning that an old Negro, Lewis Higgins, had been found dead on Mr. J. A. Waters' place. The coroner made investigation and it seemed evident that he had died from natural causes. He had been missing and probably dead since Thursday. His home was on air. aime Melton's place and we understand that Mr. Melton had him buried... .Mr. VV. O. Guy caught a gang of Negroes one night last week hauling off his cotton. They had three wagons and he waited till they got loaded and were starting, when he came out of his hiding and requested them to drive up to his house. Of course, they didn't have the heart to refuse. One or two of the party skipped It will not be necessary this season for the Southern to run an extra train for the fair, as the trains run in such a way as to best accommodate visitors to the fair. All that will be required will be a sufficient number of coaches Messrs. R. D. Nunn and John Lowry, who called at this office Friday told us of a Negro row on Mr. Jno. Frazer's place, near Smiths, in which Henry Hewey was shot and had his skull crushed. Henry and Hiram Hewey and Rachel Goode came to the party armed with guns, and there was a general row, during which many shots were fired. Jack Yongue, who lives on Mr. M. J. Wallace's place, and John Wilson, who lives at Mr. A. A. Owen's, got Into a difficulty in town Saturday, and Jack broke John's head with a rock. They had gotten about two miles out of town, with some others, all in the same wagon, when Mr. S. O. McKeown, superintendent of the chaingang met them, arrested Jack and brought him back to the sheriff. Wilson was also brought back to Dr. McConnell, who with the aid of Dr. Pryor, took out a piece of his skull. Of course, the wound is very serious, but the result cannot be predicted yet Mrs. Fannie Ehrlich, died Saturday afternoon about 5 o'clock. She was prostrated by some kind of stroke that mornh.^ *?'hich was followed by another in the afternoon. Up to that time she was in good health, and that morning she prepared breakfast. Her remains were taken to Charleston on Sabbath morning, accompanied by her sons. D. and A. and her daughter Mrs. Shokes. Mrs. Ehrlich was about seventy-five years old. She was a native of Germany and came to this country when about twenty years old. Her home was in Charleston until she moved to Chester some eight years ago. Possessed in a high degree of that kindness and charity so characteristic of the Jewish race, and confined to no class or sect, her absence will be sorely felt. CHEROKEE. Gaffney Ledger, October 20: Mr. Charles Ed Jones, a native of this county, who had lived here all his life, more than half a centxiry, died at his home in the city Saturday morning after an illness of about a week. He was an honest and upright man and was faithful to his trusts, respected by all who knew him, and since the establishment of the state dispensary here, had been a clerk in It, where he was efficient and had given full satisfaction to the beginning of his last illness. Mr. Jones leaves a wife and three children, one son and two daughters, to mourn their loss, who have the sympathy of their many friends Saturday afternoon as No. 12 on the Southern was coming into the city, it struck Hamlet Horn at the crnssln? and hroke his right leg in two places between the knee and ankle and Inflicted other less serious injuries. He was attended by Drs. Nesbitt and Crawley and made as comfortable as possible, and was carried to his home at Cherokee Falls Sunday morning. Hamlet Horn is a convict on' the county chaingang and is a "trusty." He was given permission Saturday afternoon to go to his home and spend Sunday with his family, but instead of appreciating his privilege, he abused it.

He is regarded by very many of his political friends as the only Democrat who can beat Roosevelt, and it is certain that a vast host of the rank and rile of the Democratic party would rather vote for Mr. Cleveland than for any other Democrat that could be named. If he is the only Democrat who can beat Roosevelt it is a crime not to nominate him... .A phone message from Newton to Mr. W. P. Michael yesterday morning stated that the stores of the Newton Hardware company and Rhyne & Co., were destroyed by fire early yesterday morning. The residence of Mrs. R. J. Shipp, adjoining. also caught but was saved from damage. Mr. M. S. Smyre, a nephew of Mr. A. M. Smyre of Gastonia. had just purchased the hardware store and was to take stock yesterday. Mr. 1 Smyre was in Gastonia and, being informed of the lire, left for Newton on the morning train yesterday. The loss ' is covered by insurance. The origin of the fire was not stated Esquire W. D. Glenn of Crowders' Creek returned Saturday night from a ?tay of several weeks at Hot Springs, Ark., where he went for the benefit of Jils . health.

Feodor Machow, a Russian, Is Nearly Eight Feet High. The tallest man in the world is going to England. He is Feodor Machow of Kusjak, Russia, and he Is 7 feet 9 inches in height. Until some scientists "dlscov- r oroH" him and brouerht him to Moscow, 8 Feodor looked upon his abnormal t height as a grave drawback. Now he ^ is rather proud of it. a This man is not only the largest man o alive, but his measurements are great- e er than those of any known giant of ^ the past two generations. He Is but twenty-two years old, and remarkably well proportioned for his height. j The Anthropological society of Berlin, is taking a very lively interest in Machow, and many learned men have measured and studied him during the j past few months. Prof. Felix von Luschan, the famous ethnographical j student, has made the official report, _ and this is what he finds: "I have carefully examined and ^ measured from an anthropological standpoint Feodor Machow, who Is now about twenty-two years of age. "He is 7 feet 9 inches in height, and can therefore be classed with the larg- g est giants that have ever lived. He exceeds in height all the known living 0 giants by at least a head, and Is In many respects of great scientific inter- ^ est." t As a matter of fact all the giants who have been exhibited in Europe up r to the present time were from 4.7 3 inches to 5.9 inches shorter than Machow. Their average height was be- g tween 6 feet 10 inches and 7 feet 5 e inches, according to documents placed with the Anthropological society by j the late Prof. Vlrchow.. The showmen, however, always exaggerated the height in advertisements. Feodor Machow comes from an old ? Russian family, whose ancestors are said to have emigrated to Russia from the south, probably from Syria. His ei parents, as well as his two brothers y and one sister, are all of normal size, c His grandfather was large, but in no jg sense a giant. It is said, however, that a( in earlier generations of the family tj large specimens occurred. Viewing w this case from the standpoint of the theory that mental and physical traits jj are Inherited, it would seem that the c] theory is strengthened to a certain ex- gI tent, especially in regard to bodily tr stature. is Thf? hnnts wnrn hv Manhnw which i? scarcely reach to his knees, reach an p] ordinary person almost up to the g1 waist, and a twelve-year-old boy could easily find room inside of one of them. ^ The ring which adorns the index finger j( of Machow's right hand is so large |r that a half-dollar can easily be passed S( through it. A steel spring mattress of a] extra size and strength had to be made c, for him and placed on a strong iron al frame. This promising youth eats at each meal at least three pounds of w meat and a proportionate quantity of w potatoes, vegetables and bread, with fo, a relishing appetite.

When ach had put on his mannish clothes ie hardly knew the other. Mr. Goose was rigged out In coat and est with a tall six story piccadilly colar and high hat.

"Imagine what a sight I'd be in that Ittle linen band," said the goose dis;ustedly. "This neck of mine needs a ligh board fence about It. And as for hat hat?1 should be lost to view."
