HAMER SHOT BY OFFICER
JULE HAMER IS BADLY WOUNDED BY
CLIO OFFICER
SHOT ENTERSJHE ABDOMEN
It is All?'g(tl that Mr. Humor Attiwkfd
Officer With Knife, Who
Shot in Solf-lli,fciiM,1
Jule Hamer, a well known young
man, was shot by Officer M. S. McDonald
at Clio Sunday afternoon.
The bullet entered the abdomen, inflicting
serious and probably
fatal wounds. Mr. Hamer
is well known in Dillon
county. Until a few years ago he
was a well known ball player and
has played frequently on the Dillon
diamond, sometimes with the
Dillon team airainst other towns
ami at times with his own team
against Dillon.
The particulars of the tragedy
are hard to learn. According 10
the brief dispatches sent out from
Clio it seems that sometime ago Officer
McDonald arrested Mr. Hamer
for carrying concealed weapons
and for other violations of tintown
ordinaces. There was had
blood between the officer and Mr
Hamer and when they met Sunday
afternoon an exchange of words
followed. Mr. Hamer was advancing
on the officer with an open
knife, when the officer backed
away, pulled his pistol and fired
with the above result. Officer McDonald
surrendered to the sheriff
immediaely oftter the shooting.

The idea was suggested by the
antics of a pet chimpanzie carried
by a farmer boy into the fields.
The little animal, after frisking
around a time and watching
the negroes at work, began of its
own accord to pick the cotton with
almost increditable rapidity.
Animals trainers find it very easy
to teach monkeys to perform any
manual trick or labor. By utilizing
monkey labor the cost of harvesting
cotton would be infinitely less than
with human labor.

I>eath in New York Streets
New York, June 17.?For the
second time within 4 8 hours, a woman
collapsed to-day of starvation
in the streets of New York. This
. time the victim died.
She said she was Rosa Dasso,
aged 51, homeless and friendless.
. She had slept in doorways and
parks for a year, she said, and with
her last breath she told a policeman
who knelt over her that food
had not passed her lips for so long
that she had forgotten the date,
and had all but forgotten the
taste.

it in a restaurant and lost his

We know a mercantile firm which
bought a newspaper outfit and published
a paper in a town of 150
inhabitants so as to build it up. I
The deficit of the first year wjis
$1,000 and the merchants paid it:
up and kept the paper going. They I
cut the deficit to $500 and kept
< right on running the paper till it
wiped out its own deficit. It is
now a fine piece of newspaper propyl

the Seaboard has been floating
around for sometime. For sufficient
reason we ha\e said nothing
about it but it seems useless to
keep the matter quiet longer since
it seems to have become public
proper.
Front what we can hear the Coast
Line and Seaboard were both bidding
for tlie road. At one time possibly
the Coast Line bid 4<> per
c?- nt of book value of stock but
the Seaboard appears to hate won
out.
After a visit to Baltimore of those
interested the men at the shop were
taken off their jobs, except one
mechanic and carpenter. It is understood
that the work will be
done at Hamlet in the future.
Officers were engaged in stock
taking hist week.
Some time ago it was said at
Andrews that the Seaboard had
be ught the Atlantic Coast Lumber

Charleston.
Xobodv can tell what a railroad is
going to do, but it looks as though
the road will he extended from here

Possibly the Mulling road will be
built to Conway as was rumored
when the bill was in the Legislature
to allow Muilins to vote bonds.
There is a large territory without
railroad facilities between Conway
and Sumter by way of Lake City
which would have a road.

the Walton Tribune:
"Verily is the day and generation,

except cigarettes and cuss words.
"When he attaineth the age of

turned up at the bottom two furlongs
above his feet. He displayeth
a pair of noisy sox, witli purple

scattereth a rail fence. He sitteth

Nation's Youngest Senator Makes ;
Heroic Sacrifice Successfully. <
Washington. June lit.?Senator t
Duke Dca, of Tennessee, to save the 1
life of his stricken wife, heroically' t
sacrificed a quart of his blood at 1
Georgetown Hospital yesterday and i
lo-nignt. Hie recovery of Mrs. Lea ; i
is assured, to the anxious youngest
Senator of the nation.
Mrs. Idea's strength, because of
lack of blood, was gone and her ?
vitality wsis fast ebbing away, after
an operation on Sunday. Senator
Lea, learning of her condition,,
demanded that a transfusion opera- (
tion be performed and prepared at '
jonce to submit to the ordeal. At | *
| the ending, physicians and surgeons '
j made arrangements immediately and |(
the operation which followed was '
j declared to have been successful. (
j Senator Lea withstood the opera- 1
;tion well, though it left him very <
weak, and for hours he could not j'
stand alone, but the operation had '
a great reviving effect upon his <
wife. It was said that without the
great sacrifice of Senator Lea, Mrs. I
Lea, eouid have lived but a few
hours. To-night Mrs. Lea is pro-!
nounced altogether out of danger.
Senator Lea is confined to his ^
bed at the hospital, his vitality being
reduced by the operation. It is)
expected, however, that he will be
! able to leave his room in a few ;
| days.
When heroic efforts in Mrs. Lea's.'
behalf became imperative, and the 11
transfusion operation was determ- 1
ined upon, Senator Lea, athletic in
stature, would not consent to any- '
thing but that a sacrifice of his own '
blood to renew her vanishing \r
strength be made. 1'
But because a prime factor in i
iiransiusion operations is that the
bloods be fusible tests were hasti- '
ly ordered. Before the analysis j!
j was complete, the surgons. I)rs. H.I
ID. Pry and Geo. Trully Vaughan,!'
I fearing that death might be swifter
than they, became alarmed at Mrs
Lea's condition, and decided to
try the operation any way. Just as
the Senator's arm had been bared '
and the tube inserted in an artery.
'word came that the bloods of the j t
| husband and wife were fusible. It

j had been connected with an incision | j
in Mrs. Lea's arm, and the blood >
began to flow from his veins to a

sponded to the treatment from the|l
'first. Gradually the color returned | k
to the lips and cheeks of the frail s
sufferer. But as Mrs. lx;a's color I
was restored, the flush faded from
me cneeks of her husband. When
the transfusion had continued for
an hour and a half, he importuned
the surgeons not to arrest the op- ^
chance for Mrs. I^ea. But the sur- s
eration while there possibly was a t

tossed tfie reptile five little chickens,
and the snake swallowed them
whole. The next course was five
eggs.
After the food had had time to

the reptile's head above the laws,
snapped it suddenly backward and
broke the neck. In a moment more

crushed Copley to death.
