' ATTEMPT TO BOMB,TRAINS French Military Police Called to Protect American Ugiun Nice, France, Sept. 26.?Dynauiitera and train wreckers apparently tried to hinder the progress of the American Legion's two good-will ' trains, but they reached here safely and the legionnaires ran into another welcome like they got in Paris. 1 A bomb was exploded on the track ' a few miles this side of Cannes at ! midnight, five minutes after an express had passed, but eleven hours before the legion train was due. The rails were torn up, a deep ! hole made in the road bed and 67 telegraph wires wore cut. The noise was heard at GolfeJuana station by railroad employees , who stopped approaching trains. The road was quickly repaired. In a few hours another attempt was discovered east of here on the 'line near Monte Carlo. There were rocks piled on the ! rails but were Removed by a track crew and the legionnaires knew nothing about it. 1 The authorities, however, decided to bring in all possible forces to guard and protect the American guests. All Riviera was out to greet and cheer the legionnaires when they arrived and several thousands military police and detectives were called out to protect them when the train wrecking attempts became known. The police had all they could do to plough a way through the crowds and stop the welcoming rushes along the line. Flower girls and dignataries met Commander Savage and his good will party and headed, by a military band and marines from American destroyers, escorted the legion visitors under the Arch of Triumph and down Avenue De La Victories, which was decked in flags and lined with a crowd that made a solid mass on the sidewalks. There was a continuous cheer that drownetl the loudest blare of the army band. Flags, hats and handkerchiefs flew and all day long there were scenes of wild enthusiasm, with the crowd dancing and singing in the streets. Death of Old Mule During the week gone by we "picked up" the following: Duripg the spring of this year a mule died on the place of J. W. Young about four miles south of Kershaw on the Kershaw-Camden highway, whose age was forty years. Mr. Young inherited the mule from his father, the late W. J. Young, who prior to his death about four years ago at vthe age of 89 years, had driven the mule each Sunday for twenty-five years from his home to Hanging Rock church, during which time he was the faithful Sunday school superintendent. Though the mule v?s about thirty-six years old when the elder Mr. Young died, his son continued to use him in light work about the place until last March. One morning he went to feed 'the mule and for the first time the mule refused his food. Mr. Young left the stabW door open so the muly could come out and walk about. She came out and vjsited about the homes of the nearby neighbors, returning to Mr. Young's place about noon, when she went into the palture and after turning about a few times dropped dead. She was given a decent burial by Mr. Young, who-' greatly regretted, of course, to see the faithful old animal die.-?Kershaw Era. \ . / Y"' Kills Wife And Escort .

Melton a farmer of duford townahip. Mr. Melton says about dark Thurslay night one of his cows came running to the barn, bellowing and actng in a strange manner, and bleedng from her mouth. Veternarian E. H. Welles was . ailed and ho discovered that t^he animal's tongue had been cut from lier mouth. The cow was in such pain and misery that the doctor advised killing her, which was done. Four inches of the tongue hadi been cut off by a sharp knife it was1 discovered. ' Investigating, Mr, Melton found that his cow had been driven or led to a forked dogwood tree several hundred yards from his home. The animal's head had been pulled between tho tree crotch which acted as a vise, and it was there the slashers did their work. Cigarette studs were found nearby and it is thought two men had skulked in the vicinity in the woods before night and had waited until dark lo cut the tongtie from the cow. Spite and ill-will no doubt was at the bottom of the act, and Mr. Melton has a "hunch" that he knows the men who took their grudge out on a defenseless animal rather than himself.
