Edgefield, June 2.? Mistaken it

twenty-five years ago one of Mad

brutally murderer by John Fagan,
negro. The crime was committe
under cover of darkness and withoi
the slightest provocation. The towwas
aroused as never before, and a
thougn every possible effort wi
put forth to capture the assassii
he made good his escape. Time wet
on, but the horrible recollection (
the dastardly deeds was never e
fated from the memory of Madisoi
nor was there abatement in the e
fort to run down the perpetrate
l^ess than a year ago several cit
sens of the place, on pleasure ben
were in a Mississippi town. A
they were walking the streets the
eyes fell upon a man, and with oti
voice they exclaimed there is Job

there was no resistance or effort 1
escape ? only surprise. He wi
hastily carried to the scene of tt
murder, the news of the capture ha
preceded their arrival, and a vai
throng had assembled to receiv
them. Righteous indignation wt
depicted on every face, blood ra
high. Fagan had been reared i
Madison and was well known then
and not a man in that angry a:
8emblage but who identified tli
prisoner as the murderer of their 1.
mented and beloved fellow ritizei
but be it said to the credit of thi
people, violence was not resorted t<
auu me iuw nappily was allowed t
take its course; thereby an inu<
cent life was saved.
Back in the seventies there In
ed on the plantation of Mr. Jac
Holmes, in the Ph'llippi section c
Edgefield county, a negro by th
name of Andrew Coleman, and hi
son. Dug. During a temporary e^
odus of negroes from this count:
the father and son drifted to Mis
sissippi ?- and there hte latter at
tained man's estate. It was his mil
fortune as one man does another, t
resemble the murderer John Fagai
and his arrest, incarceration, an
hair breadth escape was the seque
^ We said that the resemblance b?
tween Fagan and Dug was as pei

was this in the latter's favor, whe

life of Dug as narrated by hin
Governor Sheppard, aiting purel
from a huuiantarian standpoin
and with a desire that truth an
justice might prevail, intereste
himself in the matter, and cause
several of the white citisens of th
Phillippi neighborhood *
Edgfield, some of those the negr
said he had known. Mr. Tot
Holmes, a nephew of Mr. Jaeo
Holmes on whose place -he defend

tioned. He said he remenbered Du
as a little boy and recalled the ar
cident that befell him wien he los
his arm, and that the lamented Dt
Timmerman had attended him am
that subsequently the father am
son had moved from the State. Mi
Holmes' statement was authenticat
ed by several others. Mr Sheppart
communicated this information t
the Madison attorney, who in tun
delivered his letter to the counse
for the prisoner.
On a visit to Atlanta Mr Shep
pard chanced to meet the defend
ant's attorney and acquainted hiti
more fully with what the severa
citizens of Edgefield county kne*
about his client. It was a questioi
of saving an innocent human lift
A and of course, these gentlemen vol

Holmes was asked to see If he couli

The trial says Mr. Holmes was in

was crowded; there was eagernes

Investigations have proved that "
* black hair is the coarsest, and the 11
average number of hairs in the
J head of brunette is about 60,000; ^
. The red hairi . an comes with *1
' about 70,000. then the brown with ? '
. about 100,000, and finally the
. blonde, who has about 120,000 ''
V" hairs. Red hair of tlie glorious "
.* Titian hue is the most admired by tl
poets and painters. Swinburne, in T
" "Atalanta ;ti Calvdon." lauds the?
s'J
"Golden maiden growth of unbound
d hair." A
J'I but every color has its worshipers.
Throughout the East, black hair is:
' the most admired, and has b^en so
for ages. Solomon in his Songs
! proises all locks "as black as the 9
' luven," and the Romans were, ac- (
; cording to Horace, of the same oini
ion as the Jews: but the Greeks,
( who set the standard for beauty, i
! favored golden locks, thick. long
rnd curling, undulating with care11

J of Trov: ?

?" ! ?
? Red or burnished gsld-haired wo- .
. men have certainly shown them- '
., selves sensitive, emotional and more '
f impulsive than their ii:irb ?.. twv 1
" fair ''aired sisters. Queen Bess j
' with her flaming red hair could be
jj generous to a fault, hut cross her, 1
t and she was her father's daughters, J
imidacable in her vengeance. The !|
Empress Eugene's lovely golden J'
5 hair was the envy of the French
j court, but her temper and interfer- .j.
j ence in affairs of state cost Xapol- (
' eon his throne, and France, Alsace j*
and Lorraine. Novelists and drainatists
usually make strong, deter- ,
l(1 mined characters hlack or red- '.l
haired, and to the weak, irresolute
l(a ones they give blonde hair, as Dick- "
n ens did to Dora in "David Copper- .
field." and this is no doubt the resalt
pf observation, experience and
. character study.
No satisfying physiological rea- j!
. son has yet been given to explain
" tile fact that blonde women are
f more irresolute, more easily sway~
ed and are less distinguished in j
. i the realms of science, art and liter- P
J I ature than golden haired or the ..
, black-liaired women, but I think 1
. the fact of the generous difference; .
^ in tlio number of hairs 011 the head I'1
.of each supplies us with the real .
Q reason. The blonde woman's blood '
supply to the hair roots must give
, enough nutriment to feed and sus- J
tain in full health 120,000 hair 1
roots, whilst the black or golden I ^
haired women only needs to feed J
n 60,000 to 100,000 hair roots. When ,
j; we consider that every hair is a j ..
v separate living thing, having its in-;
^ dividual home and roots, and re- j
e quiring an adequate supply of food
from the blood, is is obvious that | '
_ there is a far greater strain and (
r drain upon the vitality of the
,j j blonde than there is upon the dark
y nrtirea woman, which may explain
g why she is usually depicted as lanj
guishing. flighty and fanciful.
e An old philosophic writer noted r
that "soft hair indicateth timidity a
j and harsh hair is a sign of bravery.
a For behold the camel, the hare and {!j
the lamb have soft hair, but the '
_ lion and the wild boar have harsh 'v
a hair." The novelist who wishes to st
s describe a woman timid to a degree
usually makes her a black or gold- 111
_ haired, according to the fancy of
>_ the writer. Hut it is as well for !'
r matrimonially inclined men to re- ,l
s member that red-haired women, !l
s good or bad, possess tempers. a

The following account of the unfortunate
shooting at Clio is taken
e from the Marlboro Times: 1
n. ?iiu aim uuiununaie anair tooK '
e place at Clio Sunday evening when
Chief of Police MeI>onald shot and
tl probably fatally wounded Mr. Jule 81
il Hamer of that place. Immediately
(- after the shooting Mr. Hamer was **
rushed in an automobile to Laurin- ?
; burg, where he was placed in the
71 hospital and an operation perform- j1
ed with the hope of saving his life 'f
II but we hear there is very little hopoin
g of his recovery. The ball from a .
38-callibre Colts revolver entered 11
e the stomach from the front and n
i- passed entirely through the body go- ?
y ing out at the back. His left kid
ney was punctured and his spine af-1 81
I- facted.
c The shooting occurred in the sta- e:
i- bles of the Clio Mule Co., about |81
:30 Sunday evening and the facts | U
s near as we can learn them are < t(
bout as follows: Some time ago I si
hief McDonald had arrested Ha-'a
icr for the violation of some town i d
rdinanee and there liad been some '
?eling on his part against the po-1
eenian since the oecurrance. Sun-1
ay evening Hamer was drinking j
ml in front of the stables when the t '
Dlicenian walked up. Hamer com-,
lenced at once to abuse and make
is threats. McDonald asked him ,
> be quiet and go home, that he di j
01 want to arrest him. This seems J
> have angered h'.m the more ^
onald then walked into the stables '
tid Hauler followed him. McDon- , ' '
Id still persisted in his efforts to;
ivise him to go home. When near ! .
ie middle of the stable McDonald ' '
iscovered that Hamer had a knife
i his hand and still coming on him. .'
e then told him that if lie come on
im he would certainly hurt him. at
le same time stepping back in -'ijx
all. As Hamer started to enter i .*
le stall McDonald fired with the
!>ove result. After being shot j *
amer threw his knife and McDonId.
then turned and walked back Lj",
? the front and sat down on a box j
hen his head fell over and those iM
ho had reached the scene went to
is aid. J
Mr. McDonald went to Bennetts- (y
lie that night with the intention '
I giving himself up. but after eon- .?.
ilting an attorney lie was advised 1 t(i
? return home and await develop- !
ents. We understand that some of
Ir. Hauler's family advised that no I ,
trest be made. Mr. McDonald is a | (
!)?1 and excellent officer and no on i t

A recent addition to the division c>
f fishes in the new National Musem
in Washington has proved one
t the most interesting specimens it'
i the entire collection. It is the n'
lectric ray, known in tile language "
f the scientists as the Narcine
rasiliensis, harmless enough as to
ame, but capable of repelling its
nemies in a manner peculiarly its
wn. which gives it its common title yj
f tiie "torpedo" fish. ^v
Tlie electric ray is of skate varity,
with a broad, flat, nearly oval pj
ead and body, and a caudal ap- p
cndage something like that poss- p]
ssed by the majority of well known
shea. Its mouth is on the under 0j
ide, and it can only fee! the way _
> it when feeding. iJut the real j
uriosity about tin* Narcine hrasili-!
nsis is the fact that it carries its
wn storage battery with it on all
s wanderings, and that it lias the
ower of recharging the thousands
f little cells when they become exausted,
using its power over and a.
ver again.
There are really two batteries,
hey are located where one would ,l
at urn l iy expect to find the breath- st
>g apparatus of the fish, to the
eady l>lack eyes and back. They jj
re kidney-shaped, occupying, peraps.
one third of the upper part of
le body. bt
When at peace with itself and
ic rest of the world, the tarpedo ^
sh swims around at leisure, or
*sts in shallow water, burrowing
s the sand at ease, but if attacked Cl
le battery is discharged, and the li
iteniy is glad to call it a draw bat- .,
e if it can swim away. It gets its

ly the necessary current to kill,
ut it must first complete a eonnec- c.
on with the object of its attack
Men have speared these torpedoes
i shallow waters and have caught
iem in nets, but on handling them
a.ve been glad to call it off and ?
irther shock. Fisherman have
sen repeatedly knocked down by a
>ntact with them.
The species is common along the
outh Atlantic and Gulf coast, the
ectric ray is the Museum coming
om the west coast of Florida. In ",'1
ulletin 28 of the American Muse- di
m of Natural History, J. Russell T
oles says: "They can give a pow ful
shock, and 1 have been knocki
dowp many times when experiienting
with this fish, yet could P1
ake no record of this peculiar pi
rm of electricity, as it had no ef- j

half volts."
"Several barefooted fishermen

There is one adult ray and four- T

The main differences between the
