It was a plain, practi cal and faithful utterance. The Tale of an Umbrella. On a rainy day several men were gathered in an office room in the city of Newberry. As is usually the case, some of the men had umbrellas, some had not. The reporter was of those who had. In the mix-up and eet-awav he got hold of the wrong umbrella, but did not discover the fact until next day, when he took the umbrella to its owner, whose initials were cut on the handle. He did not follow the usual but not universal custom, in such cases of holding on to what was had, which some think smart to do; but his practice in this instance of honesty being the best policy lost him his umbrella. The man who owned the returned umbrel la knew nothing of it, because "his jmbrella was borrowed at the time of the "swap," and as he had nothing at all to do with it we thought it but right that he be given back his property. But where is the lost umbrella? The man who borrowed it can't get on the trail. Here is how it was borrowed. One of the men who had no umbrella wanted one to go out in the rain with. A man in the room showed him one which was not his. Most of the men had left the room for other parts of the build.ng, the owner of fne umbrella among them?iwhich accounts for tHe trouble. The man took the umbrella and used it, afterwards giving it to another man, who later delivered it at the fmm u*hi>.h it had been taken. He had borrowed it of the original aorower?a sort of sub-borrower, as it were. The umbrella lastly has disappeared. Up to date it is still lost. Who has it? Somebody has it. That umbrella is somewhere in the city. The man who borrowed it behind the reporter's back, and who was the cause of another one having to be used in its place, is responsiDie ior j ihe loss of the said property. But he claimes that he is not. He holds a high position in a large corporate and moneyed institution in th6 city and showed that he had sense enough 10 get out of the rain. TFI1L BEGIN WORK.

William J. Langston, of Co! lumbia and Oscar Carlton. J. F. Walker and son, Ben, came walking down the railroad from the direction of their home.

After the shooting the witnesses walked about 300 yards to the place of the shooting and found Harter gaping and dying. There was a 3S calibre pistol with one empty cartridge in it lying half way between the dying man and the edge of the platform.

Spartanburg, Sept. 1.?"Spartanburg is the centre of the scientific world in the study of and the research-into the causes of pellagra," said Dr. Louis W. Sambon of London, Eng., connected with the London School of Tropical Medicine, who arrived in this city this afternoon to devote two weeks to the study of pellagra in connection with the Thompson-McFadden commission. Dr. Sambon is enthusiastic in his nf fhe> work beine accomi^'sh | ulk;v w ed by the commission, and he beiifc7es it will materially help in the solution of the cause of the disease, which can only be combated after the cause is discovered. He said the theory that maize causes pellagra is exploded; that it is probably caused by the bite of an insect?probably the buffalo gnat or a species of fiy. Dr. Baxter Haynes announced to night that fully 200 physicians would attend the pellagra conference to be given 'here Wednesday. Because of the number of doctors atending, the ' laity has been excluded. They will be compensated, however, by hearing an address to be delivered to the public by Dr. Sambon at a date to be named later. Dr. J. W. Babcock of Columbia will preside over the scientific pellagra sessions to begin Wednesday morning, and Dr. H. N. Snyder, president of Wofford college, will deliver the introductory address. No papers will be read, but there will be discussions on pellagra by the attending physicians. Dr. Sambon will deliver the principal address Wednesday night, j An informal smoker will be tenderj ed Dr. Sambon and the visitors by\ ! the Spartanburg Medical society at j j the Country club.
