tained by the artist,. Bud Fisher of

conceived the eccentric Idea of Mr.

ty that the most conservative the

''Mutt and Jeff" as the financial and
irtistic success of a decade, which
Beans that the play has earned that
mviable title, for you cannot fool
the American theatregolng public
Into patronizing an unworthy attrac

"Klrkland Cool Spring Is located

one-half miles from the town of
Camden, g. C.
"The house 1h a typical southern
mansion with the white pillars aiid
wide piazzas of the chatmlug utyle
of arohitecture favored by the pros
perous Southern planters in the
good old antebellum days.
"Around Ulft houHe are spacious
well kept grounds, beautifully laid
out with walks and' drives bordered
with hedges of mock orange half
revealing, half concealing the gar
den, where Cherokee roses and the
jessamine flourish. Here and there
^re grand old trees of many years'
growth. Everywhere the air is
wairn and aromatic with the balmy
odor of the long leaf pine.
"At Klrkland or?e lives near to
fature's heart? In the restful quiet
f the woods, more birds than you
have dreamed of, sing from the
trees and the wild flowers nod at
you as you pass. Sometimes an In
qulsitlve rabbit strays into the door
yard and sits up to look at you? -
within ten yards of the house you
often flush a covey of quail.
"The water at Klrkland cannot
be too highly oommended? -it is fur
nished by springs of gr*at depth
ftbd purity and is piped directly in
to the house. v Contrary to the gen

Klrkland water is very soft and

To the People of Kershaw County :
Believeing that our citizens thru
out the county will take more in
terest in our County Pair this year
than they have heretofore, the Pair
Committee has increased the . pre
mium list about 50 pet cent. Last
year the premiums offered amount
ed i* between. $600 and $700. This,
year the list amounts to between
$d00 and $1,000. ? ? -? ?? I
This means that if our people
will support the effort of the Fafr
Committee, bring their exhibits and
attend the Fair, and have their
friends do so, as we hope tjaey w ill,
that the exhibitors will receive $#00
or more as premiums.
We have arranged for the best
Fair this year we have ever had.
We have mailed out about 1600
Fair Booklets and want to urge
everyone to use the blanks in these
booklets and request Mr. H. O. Car
rison, Jr., Secretary;; to , mall entry
cards. The time is now getting
short and~ these requests should - be
sent in at one*.
Remember ' the Fair Committee
cannot have the Ftelr themselves,
but the people of xmr county can
have a good one. Yon must not de
pend oil others making the extatb*
Its, -but you must do your duty.
Have one or mo#e exhibits' and at
tend and aee what your neighbors
are doing.
~ Mr. B. J. Watson, Cdramteeloner

We hope that tfc* -people of our
county realize that In drddr'to make

or more In- premiums, we must have
a large number of nice exhibits,
and must also have a very large at
tendance. We expert every citizen
to do his part arid make ~I? a suc

cycle and an automobile Monday

bars, causing a severe scalp wound
and dislocating his knee cap. He
was given medical attention immedi
ately by Dr's. Burdell and Zemp
and Tuesday afternoon removed to
the Columbia hospital.

"tl in alleged that Zemp devised
a certain scheme and artifice to do
fraud Mrs. Cash of $150. The
scheme wan In tho form of a black
hand letter. The letter demanded
that Mra. Cash place $160 in an old
cigarette box that could be found oni
tho sidewalk In front of her home.'
The author threatened Mra. ('ash
with harm If she refused to leave
the money att demanded.
"Mra. CaHh, the prosecutrix, wiih
the flrat wltnoas sworn. She toatl
flod that Bho received the "black
hand" letter, produced in court to"
day as evidence and that she car
ried out all Instructions aa directed
In the letter, save placing tho money
in the box. Instead of the money
she placed tissue paper.
"After carrying out the instruc
tions she notified the police by tele
phone. The chief of police sent a
messenger with a decoy telegram to
Mra. Caah's residence to get the
black hand letter. The letter was
taken to the police chief, who dis
patched three plain clothes officers
to the scene in an automobile. The
automobile ; was stepped a short dis
tance from Whesfe N rigarette typa;

"When Zemp and his little daugh
ter p&sfeed la front of Mrs. Cash's
home and Zemp picked up the box
and put It In hiB pocket the officers
placed him under arrest.
"Jessie Wood, the mall carrier
who delivered the black hand letter
to Mrs. Cash, was the next witness
put on the stand. His testimony
wag Immaterial to either side of the
case,
"E. S. McBee, who was one of
the officers to arrest Zemp, was put
on the stannd. He stated that when
arrested, Zemp asked for no expla-.
nation whatever. W. S, Bryant, the
other arresting officer, was exam
ined this raorninng. His testimony
corroborated that of Officer McBee.
Resuming the hearing at 3 o'
clock one of the police who arrest
ed Zemp was placed on the witness
stand. The defendant wag next
placed on the stand. He underwent
an examination. A. H. Dreyer, a
neighbor of the accused was placed
on the stand. He testified briefly as
to the defendant's character, after
which Rev. Mark L . Carlisle, pastor
of the Buncombe street Methodist
church, and' a former pastor In
Spartanburg, was called as a wit
ness. He was not examined.
"A brilliant array of counsel wafe
employed to. conduct the case. The

They tell a story out my way;
about a Kansan who", ln^ the ~ dTd"
days when Mark Hanna was promi
nent, went to church, took his seat
in a rear pew and went to sleep.
When he woke up he awoke with a
start, and he must have thought
himself at a political . meeting.
The minister had .Just thunder
ed: "To him that hath shall bo giv
en and to him that hath not shall
be taken away even that which he
hath." . " - . . V- ?
"Who said that?" asked the be
wildered politician- who had just
awakened.
The minister stopped, looked at
the sleepy interrupter and then said
laconically "Mark."
"WeH/' said the politician. it
sounds ?llke Manna.
Many a man's godd disposition
is due to the fact that he is afraid

There is a street car strike on
in ^Columbia as the outcome of reg
ulations that have been going on f dip
some time between the employes
and managers 6f the Columbia Ble^i

er Company. The principal question
at issue has been the recognition by
the company of the Amalgamated a?>
sociation, the' national organization
of the street car employe^ The
company was and Is willing to recog
nize the local organization. It is
willing to grant ahonertadursw^
more pay but it will not j'?co6ntz?
the national association. The fight
broke out last Saturday. The nio
tormen and conductors struck and
the company continued Its efforts
tSTfianage cars. The first disorder
occuVred at the corner of, Main and
Gervals street when about fifteen
striking employes attempted to putt
a crew of car barn employees from
a car. - Strike leaders, however,
quieted the disturbance. Mayor
Glbbs issued general orders in which
he set torth the, purpose of the mu

scales between the strikers and em

es that there -taiist. be no violence, or.
