Taken Alive.?An Englishman, who
recently visited this country for the
purpose of hunting big game in the
west and in British Columbia, related
a s'ory of a fellow Br tisher who was
lion shooting in Unganda.
This sportsman had excellent luck,
nearly every day he would pose before
a freshly killed lion or other beast and
his photographer would snap him for
the magazines.
One afternoon the picture man. who
was taking a nap in the hut. was
awakened by a loud noise. H>e arose
and looked out. Sprinting toward
home from the woods hat gone and
coattail flying, came his chief. At a

for the hunter, stalked a huge lion.
"Quick! Quick! Open the door
Dick!" he exclaimed. "I'm bringing
one home alive."
No Distinctions.?A Broad street
business was joking a friend about his
residence in a certain dreary district
of Jersey.
"Why do you live there, anyhow?"
he asked.
"So as to save money."
"Is food any cheaper?"
"On the contrary, it is slightly more
expensive."
"How do you save, then?"
"No opera, $200 a year; no cafe
meals. $500 a year; no theatres. $400:
no distractions of any kind. $75 a
year."
"See here, old top," expostulated the
Broad street man, "couldn't you save

Hen Wet Blameless.?A teacher, Instructing
her class In the composition
of sentences, wrote two on the blackhoard.
one a missstatement of fact
and the other wrong grammatically.
The sentences were: "The hen has
three legs,"' and "Who done It?"
"Harry," she said to one of the
youngsters, "go to the black-board
and show where the fault lies In those
two sentences."
Harry slowly approached the board,
evidently studying hard. Then he
took the crayon and wrote:
"The hen never done It. God done
it."?Milwaukee Journal.
His Reason Why.?A rich NewYorker
haxl been giving some East
Side street urchins a day at the beach
once a year, the feature of the trip
being an ocean bath.
As the patron stood by the car
watching the happy little fellows get
on. he noticed one especially dirty
little boy, and said:
"How is it you are so dirty, son?"
"Please, sir," answered the boy, "I
missed the car for the beach last
year.'*
Foresight Defined.?The children
had read the word foresight in the
reader and the teacher was endeavoring
to make it plain.
"Foresight," she said, "is looking
ahead. Now, Freddie, you give me
an example of foresight if you can."
"Well, foresight would be not to
eat much for breakfast when you knew
you were going out into the country
to your grandmother's for dinner,"
explained the boy.
Goes Faster.?"A dollar doesn't go
as far as It used to."
"You very frequently sacrifice endurance
to speed," replied the engineer.
"You must remember that a

to."?Washington Star.

Uaftney Ledger, Jan. 22: Developing
into a certainiy as a result of recent
meetings held in Johnson City, Tenn.,
it has been announced that Messrs.
Dever and Stanyarne Little, formerly
of tins city, will erect a large cotton
mill immediately either at Johnson
city or Bristol. There are but few
cotton manufacturing enterprises in
Tennessee, and both 01 these cities
are eager to be chosen as the site of
the new venture. The Messrs. Little
are sons of Mr. J. Q. Little of Gaffney,
who, it is understood, will be a large
stockholder in the new mill. Dever
Little is now superintendent of the
Republic mills at Great Palls, and for
several years he was superintendent
of the Gaffney Manufacturing company
of this city. Stanyarne Little is
now a real estate dealer of Johnson
City, but he also is an experienced
mill man, having worked for a number
or years as an operative and later as
bookkeeper for the Gaffney Manufacturing
Co. The mill, which is to be
erected, will be capitalized at between
$500,040 and $600,000, and will operate
between 25,000 and 35,000 spindles. Tne
promotors of the enterprise propose to
manufacture a grade of cloth that Is
much demanded, and of such quality
that their products will be largely
used Dr. H. E. Fiefield, a physician
who has been practicing in the
Wilkinsville section of the county for
a number of years past, has accepted
a position with a coal company at
Blaine, W. Va., and has gone to that
city to assume his duties. Dr. Fie
field made many friends in ctierojtee
county who wish him much success in
his new field of endeavor Among
the Gaffney people who attended the
funeral services over the remains of
Mrs. Laura Bridges at Spartanburg,
yesterday, were: Mr. and Mrs. S. S.
Phillips, Mrs. W. D. Kirby, Mrs. Dora
Byars and Miss Kate Byars. Mrs.
Bridges formerly lived in Gaffney, and
had many relatives and friends here
who will be grieved to learn of her
death, which occurred Monday
The little six-year-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. Robert Morgan of the Grassy
Pond section of the county, was bitten
on the hand Tuesday afternoon, by a
dog supposed to have the rabies. The
animal was killed and its head sent to
Columbia for an examination A
marriage of much interest to Cherokee
county people took place Tuesday,
in Spartanburg, when Mrs. N. G. Littlejohn
became the wife of Rev. A. H.
Best. The ceremony was performed
by Dr. R. E. Stackhouse, presiding
elder of the Spartanburg district
Mr. E. R. Parker returned yesterday
from Winston-Salem, N. C., bringing
Sam Tate with him. Tate was an escaped
convict from the Cherokee
county chaingang. He had been serving
a sentence of one year for stealing
a cow, and a few days ago, took
"French" leave. He was captured by
officers at Winston-Salem, and Sheriff
W. W. Thomas deputized Mr. Parker
to bring him back to this city.
Fort Mill Times, Jan. 21: Anticipating
a resumption of work next
Monday by mill No. 1, of the Fort
Mill Manufacturing company, many
of the former employees of the mill
are this week, returning to the city.
Excitement ran high for a short
time in Fort Mill late Tuesday afternoon,
over the entry into town of a
supposed burglar. The man, who appeared
of middle age, alighted from
the rear of the southbound train, and
with a package under his arm started
back up the railroad at a lively
gait, glancing backward at every few
Steps. Mis actions creaieu ouspivtw,,
and the town officers with several
others, gave pursuit. The man was
chased to a point near the city cemetery,
where he made his escape into
the thickets. During the chase, however,
the stranger threw down his
bundle, which was found to contain a
hack saw and several new blades,
five new pocket knives, and about 20
packs of cigarettes. Two raincoats,
which he was wearing, were also left
behind by the stranger. Several
shots were fired at the man, but without
apparent effect. An effort was
made to secure bloodhounds from
Rock Hill, but without avail Report
reached Fort Mill Monday, to the
effect that John L. Irby and Mrs. Mary
Parrish, the latter a resident of Fort
Mill, were married Saturday afternoon
in Charlotte The following
from the Birmingham (Ala.) Ledger
of the 4th, will be read with interest
by the people of Fort Mill and vicinity:
"Having become a slave to the habit,
T. K. Lee, of the Birmingham Athletic
club rifle team, has made two
new world's records with his trusty
rifle Lee has just shot two more
possibles, making nine consecutive
possibles. Last week, Lee shot his
seventh consecutive possible (200

record established by him the previous
season. In the two matches for this
week. Lee first made an eighth possible
in the Arms and the Man match, and
then followed that up with his ninth
possible in the National Rifle association
match. Thus Lee has broken
two world's records this week and each
time established a new world's record."
Th? two local banking institutions
the First National bank and the
Savings Bank of Fort Mill, held meetings
of their officers the last week and
each declared a semi-annual dividend
of four per cent and placed substantial
sums to the credit of their surplus accounts
A lemon weighing 25 1-2
ounces and of especially fine flavor,
was picked several days ago from a
tree grown in the savings bank by W.
B. Meacham. president of the institution.
The tree has several small green
lemons on its branches, and is quite
a curiosity to passers-by.

is felt for them in their suffering
and distress Rev. C. W. Boyd,
who for the past several years has
been the beloved rector of Christ
church, took leave of his people at
an appropriate farewell service last
Sunday afternoon. It was with regret
that Mr. Boyd's Lancaster flock parted

with a spirit of consecration and earnestness

the wages paid. Mr. Smith brought
back with him a ,,Minle" ball which
he picked up on the old James river
