Hooks that were owned and manuanrints that were written hv Samuel M. Clements (Mark Twain) collected In New York for disposal at auction at an early date. One of the early manuscrlnts Is a pane of notes for an outline of a portion of the story of "Tom Sawyer." Amons the other manuscripts is one described as "An article on the Inauguration of President Taft and the deliverance of the country from Mr. Roosevelt," dated March 6, 1909. A portion of it follows: "Astronomers assure us that the attraction of gravitation on the sui. face of the sun is 28 times as powerful aB is the foree at the earth's surface, and that the object which weighs 117 pounds elsewhere would weigh (I.UOO pounds there. For se\en years this country has lain smothering under a burden like th.i , the incubus representing, in the person of President Roosevelt, the dif.crence between 4 17 pounds and O.ono.

Another Warrant Swon Out Against Younger McAbee. The latest developments in the tragic drama of Saturday night is that the McAbeeg engaged in yet another pistol bout a short while before the old man met his death at Hoiland's hands. Furman Turner Monday swore out a warrant for Will McAbee, the dead man's son now in the Greenville county jail, charging him with assault with Intent to kill. The deponent alleges that he met the McAbees In the road just before they reached Laurel creek bridge the point where the men discovered that they had taken the wrong road and turned to retrace their wnv nnH tVmf I when he failed to produce whiskey, which he says they demanded of him, they opened fire on him. A second warrant charging assault with intent I to kili has been issued against the young man in prison. Alfred Thomason, who had a pistol duel with | Robert ttfcAbee before he reached | Mauldin, is the deponent In the latter action. ( reek Miners Killed, An armed uprising of Greek coal miners, of Kenilworth, Carbon county, Utah, was suppressed Monday after four men had been killed, one fatally wounded and several others slightly hurt by flying bullets. Virtue is like precious odors most fragrant when they are incensed or crushed. k-.. FIGHT WITH A LEOPARD. Finally dlsi?atched the Brute With a Hatchet. The Rev. Dr. G. A. Wilder, a missionary of the American hoard in Rhodesia sent by the Asylum Hill Congressional Church, of Hartfora, Conn., in a letter from Silinda how lie and two natives and dogs hunted and killed a leopard after the animal had t.eljed him and inllicled four poisonous wounds on the right side of his head. , The native escorts sucked and dressed each of his wounds, and the hunt i\wx IvnOL't Utno I "V .. iiiiiii iui mr v^noi v? etc icouiucu. i?i . Wilder s:iid: "The leopard could not he seen, but soon he onine rushing toward us, and stood at 20 paces. 1 fired and .cot no response. Kaziboni climbed a tree, and the dogs took a fresh start. Nyuswa fired, and all this got on the nerves of the leopard which still kept hidden close to the ground. The dog squealed, but got away with her ear ripped open. We formed a close line and marched with rifles ready. In five seconds the doc uttered a low growl, and quick as a flash I had a bullet in him, which was followed by a terrific roar. The men followed the charge, and I got another cartridge into the barrel, and he did not come on, but began making away down the hill. "We had taken it out of him this time, but he stood again a few yeards off below the second anthiH, to which we went as quickly as possible. Kaziboni climbed a small tree, and, seeing the leopard, fired. "K. fired again, lite dogs attacked. and the men rushed with spears, and the game fought desperately for a few minutes before he died. With broken legs, dum-dum bullets smashing up his idlest, he fought with one paw and his mouth liko a demon. There were seven spear wounds, and I finally smashed his skull with a hatchet." * TKYIXG TO ICKCLAIM Til KM. Murderers, Forgers and ""obbers Dined Together. A murderer, four highwaymen, five burglars, two forgers and thret* ordinary citizens sat down this week at a banquet in a prominent hotel iu Los Angeles, Cal., as the guests of Leonard Mordaunt, himself and ex-convict, who is now at the head of the prison parole fund of the Union Rescue mission. It was largely through the efforts of IMordaunt that 12 of the iruestt were released front San Quentin on parole, and the particular purpose of the banquet was to have them meet Frank Mulford, state parole ofTicer. The banquet was such a success that it was decided to hold another, to which all paroled men in l.os Angeles will he Invited. There are about 4i> in l.os Angeles. Mordaum believes such gatherings will serve as a moral support to former criminals who ttre being reclaimed. l'KNN'V A I MS 11 FOIl MEALS. Mission in Washington, I). Hook to Aid the I'oor. The high cost of living in Washington, D. C\, for a time will have an interesting basis for comparison and contrast. The gospel mission htts begun to serve meals on a onecent bill of fare. The menu embraces bread, coffee, meats, beans, soup, pie, vegetables, and fruits. Every article is offered at the uniform price of one cent. The manager, one of the mission employes, said that he could not tell whether the place would lose money or not, but it would run on the plan laid down by its generous patroness until the matter could he fairly tested. Rent does not enter into the estimate of cost, as the restauraiu is in a building owned by the mission. * Last Sea Trip.

They lla<l Been Convicted Twice and Were About to Enter Upon Sentence When Set Free. Remitting the Jail sentences in the case of Ed. Abbott and Frank Dearman Governor Bleaee Monday acted in these well known cases. Abbott and Dearman pleaded guilty to gam bling in Spartanburg in 1307 and were each sentenced to pay a fine of $00 and serve a year on the public workp of Spartanburg county. The statement came from the governor's office that "they paid their fines and the governor has relieved them of their sentences." Abbott and Deannan pleaded guilty to the charge of gambling in July, 1907, and were sentenced by Judge R. O. Purdy to pay a fine of $t>0 and serve a year on the public works. The chain gang sentence, however, was suspended during good behavior. In July, 1910, Abbott and Dearman were caught in a gambling raid at the Oregon hotel in Spartanburg and were fined in the police court and, later, upon a warrant sworn out by representatives of the Law and Order league, were taken before Judge \V. 11. Gruber to show cause why the sentence of one year on the chain gang, suspended by Judge Purdy during their good behavior, should not be enforced. Judge Gruber decided the case against Dearman and Abbott, directing that they serve the sentence oi a year on the public works. From Judge timber's decision an appeal was taken to the supreme court. Solicitor Otts appearing for the State. Last week the supreme court sustained the lower court, directing that they serve the sentence. When news of the court's decision reached Spartanburg Abbott and Dearman got busy with a pelition for a remission of the jail sentence. This was freely signed, it is said, and was presented to Gov. Illease Sunday by S. J. Nichols, of Spartanburg, who, it is said, supported Gov, Illease. 11LISS, l l? TO DATK. Aged Husband Gave Young Wife ller I Divorce.

'Senate Pawses Hill Prohibiting Their Formation. The bill directed against the Tot mation of ill-shaped counties and particularly of public interest following the recent Heyward County controversy, Friday night passed the Senate, the original bill being amended Disavowing any intention to make a local bill of the proposition. Senator Croft, of Aiken, the county affected most by the proposed formation of Heyward, held up before the Senate a map showing that Heyward would have a very narrow width .almost midway between the two ends of the long proposed new county. One of the Senators characterizes the sight as a "narrow waisted" county. Senator Croft made a leng thy speech, going into the Hey ward County fight and showing that that battle was now over and the bill was drawn to meet general conditions. Senator Summers, of Calhoun, led the opposition to the bill, which he declared was drawn to prevent the formation of one new county, namely, Heyward. Senator Summers made a telling speech against the bill but when the vote on the passage came there had not been mustered enough ballots to kill the bill. Constitutional objections were raised to the hill, but these did not prevail. The measure has intermittently been debated several days in the Senate. As passed hv the Senate, the hill provides that the General nssenblv shall hereafter establish no new county, the greatest length of which shall be more than fou? time as long as the least central width thereof. "General width" means the width of such proposed new county not entirely within eight miles of the end thereof. * egg wins him a with. Wrote His Name on Shell and Soon Got an Answer.
