YM QUEER MDL
AN OPAL TAKEN OUT OF LARGE
JLLLIGATOR'S JAW.
-\: * ?".
Tbe Gera Was Imbedded Under the
S2dn and Was F.e:noved by a
&0? Boy.
The Charleston Post tells the
beat1 alligator story we ever heard.
Here it Is:
Over on Wadmaiaw and John's Is
land hundreds of peopje have been
looking for big alligators with opals
embedded in their jaws, since L. H.
Hay, <>f Wadmaiaw, found a valu
able jewel in the lining of the cavern
ous mouth of a nine-foot gaitor re
cently. His father-in-law, T. A.
Beckett, magistrate at John's I?land,
came :o Charleston this morning
with the alligator opal, which he
brought here to have appraised. He
would no;'take a handsome sum of
money for the precious stone.
It In true that not every alligator
carries a mouthful of opals, or other
valuable jewels, but a big reptie kill
ed "as it was crossing a Wadmaiaw
Islana road and gjven to Mr. Hay
by the: negroes who .ended Its saurian
career, had a half-inch opal in the
rear of his huge jaws. Mr. Hay, as
sisted by some negroes, was skinning
the d?;ad alligator, and his little boy,
playing about the huge body, sudden
ly exclaimed: "Papa, I feel some
thing hard in his jaw'!". Mr. Hay be
came interested, and cut the hard
object from the back of the animal's
mouth. To his surprise the discover
ed and irredescent disk, about half
an inch in diameter, embedded in
the flesh, and upon examining it, he
pronounced it to be an opal of large
..size. His father-in-law, Magistrate
Beckett, brought the stone to
"Charleston to have its value passed
upon,
Bow that opal got Into the alligat
or's jaw is a mystery. Magistrate
Beckett thinks that it came from a
pin .or ring setting, and was lodged in
Mr. Alligator's throat as he was
chewing up human remains. In the
alligotor's stomache were two pine
burrs but no material opal evidence.
Mr. Beckett says he has found whole
rabbits, brickbats and other strange
objects in dead alligators' stomachs.
The theary is that hiia particular al
liga:or was chewing a necktie when
his mouth became an opal depository.
Mr. Beckett was carrying the opal
carefully wrapped up in paper, and
enc .osed In-an envelope lodged in his
Inside pocket, for he was fearful of
losing the gem.

THE FAIL OF TROY
REPRODUCTION OP THE TROJAN
WAR IS MOTION PICTURES.
Beautiful Women, Dashing Chariots,
Artistic Statuary, Massive Palaces,
Regal Costumes Are Shown.
I The above hitrtorical event will be
i depicted in exquisite photography,
(tinted and tqned beyond compare,
at the Theato on Monday afternoon
and evening. We present below a
short synopsis of the story which all
should read before going to see its
reproduction in motion pictures at
the popular photo play house, The
Theato, on Monday. Here is the
story as you will nee it in the motion
pictures:
Menelaus, King of Sparta, going
to join his soldiers, bids an agec
tionate good-bye to his wife, Helen,,
the most beautiful of Greek women.
The parting takes place in the gar
dens of . the palace,) *ne imposing
structure, with its massive columns
and marble staire, lending a back
ground to a scene of wondrous beau
ty, 'with gushing fountains, lovely
flowers, strutting peacocks and flit
tering "birds. Mendelaus leaps into
his charriott, and is seen galloping
away through picturesque scenery,
""in' his absence Paris, ? the son of
Priam, King of Troy, comes oh a
diplomatic mission to see Menelaus,
and falling a victim of Helen's- daz
zling charms, devotes his time to
impassioned wooing, in which he is
assisted by the goddest Venus. A
remarkable vision scene is shown
as Venus throwns her filmy mantle
over the couple, who are wafted
through the air In a big shell by
the attendants of Venus, the winged
nymphs guiding the aerial craft to
Troy.
The flight of Helen is reported to
Menelaus by a servant at the pal
ace, who lashes the horses drawing
his chariot into frightful speed to
reach his master. The grief and rage
of Menelaus know no 'bounds, and he
hastily marshals hip army and re
ceives the pledge of his nobles to
fight to the death. An immediate
march is ordered to the city of Troy.
Helen is being entertained in the
palace of Troy by Paris, who has
lavished her with attention and sur
rounded her by a retinue of beau
tiful women and singing and dancing
girls. A soldier dashes up with news
of the attacking forces. The Trojan
soldiers advance to meet the Greeks,
but are driven back behind the walls
of Troy?a thrilling scene in which
2,000 ffcgihting men are seen.
The Greeks battle with indomita
ble furyv Charge after charge is
made on the sturdy wall3, in the face
of an avalanche of huge missiles
thrown into their midst by the Tro-I
jans. Finally Menelaus, realizing
the futility of attempting to storm
the massive mounds of stone, plans
a ruse. A giant horse is built of
wood, inside of which are concealed
a score of Greek soldiers. This is
left outside the town, and Menelaus
withdraws his army.
As the last of the departing Greeks
is lost to view, the Trojans venture
forth and gaze curiously upon the
strange equine. With exulant shouts
they take possession, and drag it to
the city. To permit its entrance
through the gates it is necessary to
tear down a portion of the wall.
General rejoicing at the lifting! of
the seige takes place, and the horse
is regarded a? a trophy of war.
Wearied with the conflict of many
days, the town, seoure in the de
parture of its enemies, is wrapped in
the arms of Morpheus. Night has
cast its darkening mantle upon the
earth, through which the moonbeams
struggle and weirdly cast their rays
upon the gorgeous splendor of Troy.
The city sleeps, unmindful that the
Greeks are rushing back with mur
derous hate in their hearts.
Suddenly a trap door in the wood
en horse opens, and a Greek drops to
the ground. Another and another
follow, till all are assembled. Tor
ches are quickly lighted, and the
band seperates, a blaze of fire fol
lowing each one as he wields the
flaming brand. Simultaneously the
Greek army rushes into the city
through the dismantled wall.
The eyes of the awakening TVro
jans open upon a most terrifying
spectacle. Surprised and scattered,
they are met on all sides by fiery
flame and relentless sword. The
rout is complete. Though fighting
valiantly, they are no match for the
Greeks, and many flee ?gnominiously
to save their lives.
The consuming flames burn fierce
ly, mounting higher and higher, cast
ing a lurid glare upon the awful
scene of carnag?. In the palace Hel
en clings tremblingly to Paris, who
seeks in vain for means of egress.
The royal guards, making a last
stand in the reception chamber, are
ruthlessly cut down.
The intense heat disintegrates the
stone buildings, and they crumble
to the earth. Immense columns sway
majestically and come crashing down.
Groping and stumbling through the
smoke filled corridors Paris sup-j
porting Hel^n, makes his way to the
g-ound floor, and instantly a hun
dred swords seek his heart. Mene- i
laus utters a sharp command, stay- j
ing every hand, and himself engages j
I Paris. The duel is spectacular, thej
short, heavy swords falling in quick
j succession on each other's shields.
At last Paris falls, and with a be
J seeching cry Helen, the| faithless,
leaps to her husbands arms. Dis
dainfully he thrust her from him.
and the picture ends with Helen at
the side of her slain lover, while
Menelaus .gazes upon her contopm
tuously.
Kain Baly Needed.
In some sections fine rains have
fallen, but in others rain is badly
ne?ded to bring up the crops. Hope
it will come in a day or two.

CALHOUN1S COUNTY BUILDINGS
?
How Funds Are to Be Raised to
Erect and Pay for Them.
The St. Matthews correspondent
of the Stute says:
"During his charge to the grand
jury Wednesday morning, Judge
Prince urged upon them the pro
priety and necessity of building ad
equate and commendable public
buildings for the county, and stated
that he was of the opinion that suit
able buildings could not be built for
the $20,000 provided by the town of
St. Matthews?that the court house
should not cost less than $50,000,
and the jail $15,000?and he sug
gested that the county issue bonds
for the additional amounts necessary.
"It appeared to the judge that it
had been intimated that he had been
prompted to advocate $50,000 for a
court house, because other judges
preceding him had done likewise.
Judge Prince stated with vigor that
he took counsel of no man when it
came to what his idea was as to
what, a court house should be.
"The grand jury took business
like notice of Judge Prince's recom
mendations, and adopted a resolu
tion which they presented, resolving
that the county supplement the $20,
000 already given with $30,000 ad
ditional and urged that proper steps
be taken looking to securing this
amount. The report was received
with manifest satisfaction by the
court and' those in attendance."
WOODFORD SCHOOL.
Closing Exercises Held on Last Mon
day Evening.
The closing exercises of the Wood
ford School have been completed and
a host of people say "hurrah for
Wood ford. Monday evening there
was a beautiful May Pole play, giv
en by the children, pupils of their
much loved teacher, Mrs. Grant. Al
so music was rendered by the girls,
showing the re;uarkable talent of
Miss Elizabeth Roberts, who has so
faithfully and lovingly taught them.
Tuesday evening the exercises of
the school in general, were greatly
enjoyed. Wednesday morning, at 10
o'clock, the patrons held a meeting in
which everybody was allowed to say
something, even the women. Rev. T.
L. Belvin addressed the audience
most forcibly on Christion Education.
Mr. A. Z. Stroman made a fine talk,
telling of his conception of a good
school building.
Wednesday evening was the best
of all, it is thought by many. The
question for debate was. "Does man
kind derive more benefit from sculp
ture, and music than from ora
tory and literature. During the ex-1
ercises of the week three gold medals I
have been awarded, two to the debat- j
ors, one to Miss Leita Smith, and the
other to Master Barto Sharpe. Miss
Olive Gissendanner received one for
having accomplished much in music.

At ten o'clock Sunday night the
completely destroyed the 12-room
frame dwelling of D. W. M. Hutto,
situated: on Main street, near the de
pot, in Harleyville, and used as a
hotel. The origin of the fire is not
known but it is thought to have been
set.by rats, as the flames were first
discovered in one of the closets in
a seco.id-floor room When the alarm
was given the fire had gained such
headway that it was almost impossi
ble to enter the burning building,
however a small amount of furniture
was saved from the room on the first
floor, most of it being badly dam
aged. Mr. Hutto had recently made
considerable improvement on this
property, and this makes the loss
more. The loss is estimated at be
tween $5,000 and $6,000, with about
$1.500 insurance.

Dear Friend:
They have hi-ed me down at
the grocery. Whi . do you think
I do? Everywhere they put my
picture, a new one each time, in
the paper. My work is to tell every
body where to buy good groceries.
I like my place very well because
they treat one well.
They treat everyone well
where I work, because they carry
good groceries and sell them at the
right prices.
Your friend,
JACOB.
P. S. I work at
