The Beaufort Gazette says: "The hands of Mr. C. I. Coummins, while cutting saw logs near McPherson vllle iast week, found in the heart of a tree an old seven-shot rifle with one shell in the barrel. It is sup posed that the rifle was hidden by a Confederate soldier in a small hol low in the tree, which gradually closed and concealed the gun entire ly. The rifle is said to be in an al most perfect state of preservation, and, with a little oiling, would be fit for service. The tree in which it was found stood on the old Confederate camp ground very near the village of McPherson." Saturday was a busy day with J. 1C. Ransdale.

In Augusta After a Seperation of Over Seven Years. A dispatch from Augusta says the truth of the old saying that "fact is stranger than fiction" is proved by a remarkable chance. Frank Ling ham came to Augusta several months ago from an Illinois town and en j gaged board at a well known Broad street boarding house. He never talk ed of his family and none of bis fel low-boarders knew he had a brother. The other night a stranger came to Augusta and engaged board at the same place. At supper some one re marked to him that he looked enough like one of the older boarders, who did not happen to be present, to be his twin brother. The newcomer naturally asked the name of this dromio and was startled to hear that it was Lingham. He turned pale and gasped that he haa a brother whom he had not seen or heard from in seven years. Several hundred miles from home, neither perhaps, thinking of the oth er, these two men had come to the same boarding house, had picked out the same place out of the dozens in the city. Needless to say that William and Frank Lingham, twin . brothers, had a happy meeting, even 'though it was entirely unexpected. * LY'NCHING IN FLORIDA. A Mob Makes Quick Work of an Al leged Murderer. I Jack Long was lynched near New berry, Fla., Thursday. Long was ac cused of the murder of Elias Sapp, a prominent farmer, and was taken from the town jail by a crowd of 200 men, carried to the scene of the crime and there hanged to a tree. j Excitement in Newberry is at fev er heat and .the citizens of the town are armed. It is feared that there ?may be further trouble. It ii said that another lynching is threatened. According to the police Long's broth er was killed by one of the Sapp family, who lias never been captured.

C. says I it is "glad to print the record of another successful lady who knows! how to run her part of the farm Trof-j itably: From the 1st of December. | 1906, until January 1st. 1908. Mrs. j Sam A.

Judge Speer, of the United States Court, rendered a decision in Au gusta on Thursday that is of interest to farmers. He decided in the case of J. T. Olive, that a tarmer can be placed in involuntary bankruptcy as well as a merchant or any one else. The petition was filed by the \rmour Company for fertilizers. * KILLED HIMSELF. Shoe Manufacturer and Society Man Shoots Self in Temple. At Lynchburg, Va., John Kinckle, aged thirty-three, a prominent so ciety man and secretary and treasur er of the F. Kinckle Shoe Company, shot himself three times in the right temple Thursday evening with sui cidal intent. He is not expected to survive. No cause for the act can be learned. " Ho Wanted a Rest There was not even standing room in the car. but one mere passenger, a young woman, wedged her way inside the doorway. Each time the car took a sudden lurch forward she fell help lessly back into the arms of a large, comfortable man on the back plat form. The third time it happened he said quietly, "Hadn't you better stay here?"-Ladies' Home Journal. Shakespeare on Love. They love least that let men know their love. Too light winning makes the prize light. To be wise and love exceeds man's might. At lovers' perjuries they say Jove laughs. By love the young and tender wit is turned to folly. Love sought is good, but given un sought is better. There's beggary In the love that can be reckoned. One who loved not wisely, but too well. Base men. being in love, have then a nobility in their natures more than is native to them. -Love that has nothing but beauty to keep it in health is short lived. At Close Rrs3C. Sergeant .Murphy had a squad of re- , emits on the rille range. He tried 1 them out on the 500 yard range, but: none of them could hit the target. ' Then be tried them on the 300, 200 and 100 yard ranges in turn, but Mitb uo better success. When they had all missed on the shortest range, he scratched his head and regarded them perplexedly. Suddenly be straightened up. "Squad, attiution!" he commanded. "Fix bayonets! Char-r-ge!"? Every body's. Lots of men can outline a brilliant national policy who make a failure of ordinayr parentage.
