One of the early manuscrlnts Is a

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

and that the object which

years this country has lain smothering
under a burden like th.i , the

of President Roosevelt, the dif.crence
between 4 17 pounds and O.ono.

"Our people have adored this

Rig New York Structure Will Tower
to u Height of 750 Feet.
From the profits of his five arm
ton-cent stores Frank W. Wool worth
is about to erect the tallest office
building in the world on the westerly
side of Rroadway, New York city.
It will be 7">0 feet high or about r>0
feet higher than the Metropolitan
tower, and nearly 150 .feet taller than
the Singer tower.
The idea is to have t he-main building
of from 27 to 30 stories. Surmounting
this, directly in the middle.
will rise a tower about SO to S.ri
feet square, containing 25 stories,,
making 55 stories in.all.
Tltis now skyscraper, which will
only be exceeded In height in the
world by the Eiffel tower. 085 feet,
will cost $12,000,000, or more. The
land, which* has been acquired in the
past year, has cost about $5,000,000.
The building v 111 cover a total aron
of 39,500 square feet and there will
will be 13,000,000 cubic feet in the
structure. It will be of the highest
fireproof construction.
THERE WAS ANOTHER FIGHT.
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

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." *

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.

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.

GAMBLERS' PARDONED
TWO TURNED IAX>SE BY GOVERNOR
BLEASE MONDAY.
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.

AGAINST ILL-SHATEI) COUNTIES.
'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. *
