A baby boy was born to Mrs. Ruth
* Harrison lielue In the General hospital
in Spartanburg last Thursday. Mrs.
Belue is the -widow of Karle Helue,
payroll clerk who was slain by
bandits in Spartanburg several
months ago. This is the second son,
Karle, Jr., being about three years of
age. About the same time the baby
hoy was born, Kay Coleman, alleged
slayer of Belue, was being brought
hack from Indianapolis where he was
arrested charged with the crime. He
is now in Spartanburg juil where he
refuses to talk to newspaper men,
saying "they tell too many dam lies.
The Meaneat Man
About every decade the newspapers
bring forth and parade before** the
public for a brief spell a specimen of
the detested citizen classed as "the
meanest man," hut by and by, he is
forgotten ulong with his record until
a successor i>pbs up. The city of
New Haven, up in New Kngland, now
comes to the front with the newest
champion. An explosion of gasoline
occurred in a street car and a woman
passenger received injury that disfigured
her face. Her wrifcome home
-by her husband was Of this cordial
and sympathetic nature: he told her
to go her way and when the street
car company should return her to him
with her face in the same condition
it was in before the accident, he
would take her in. The woman was
finally forced to go to court suing for
a divorce on the ground of desertion
and of course this was instantly
grunted by the judge. Connecticut
now holds the record as home of "the
meanest man."?.Charlotte Observer.

Snakes Eject Poison
The spitting snake, which is found
in South Africa from Senegambia to
the Transvaal, received its name from
the fact thai it sometimes ejects a
venomous spray when annoyed or irritated.
It is related to the cobras.
Members of this species attain a
length of only about two or three
? feet. Besides "spuw slang," meaning
spitting snake, the Boers of Soutn
Africa call this species ring-hals,
namely, handed neck, a name whicn
i- also applied to the cobra proper.
Whether the spitting cobra actually
aims it- venom at the eyes of its
enemies in order to blind them, as
often stated, is a disputed question.

can he ?eer to (low from the fangs m
drop.-. It i* possible that the ejection
of the poison from the mouth is
due merely to the hissing and that
the venom i- not voluntarily aimed at
the intruder.
In "Reptiles of the World" Raymond
L. Ditmars, an eminent au
thority. says: "Occasionally, th<
writer has witnessed the ability o
cobras to eject their venom when ii
a coiled and defensive position. I
seem- that in striking the snak<
simultaneously compresses the poisoi
glands by a contraction of the jai
and muscles and ejects the poisor
though quite accidentally, in the di
rertion of its annoyance. If th
fluid should enter the eyes, blindne9
or death are the probable cor
sequences. The habit is common wit
the South African hooded snak

IIIok'8 Sanctuary and
\ Florida Singing Tower
H On the highest point of Florida,
"I near la?ke Wales, there rises from
' I thr palms and pines of Mountain
Luke Sanctuary, the Singing Tower
I erected by Kdward W. Hok, aa a gift
to the public, to he dedicated by
,| President Coolidge on February la|,
J02'J, Majestic in size, perfect in ita
( proportion*, the lyric beuuty of the
11 Tovver in u joy to ul) who aee it,
while from Ita incomparable carillon
(I u Hood of melody poura down the
I I pine-clad hillside.
Singing Towera are well known in
I Europe whore, aince early medieval
I times, they have been of great haI
tlonul Importance in community life,
I calling their people to war, to peace,
to prayer, to work, and to feast. Aa
each country saw its history reflected
in the architecture of the Tower aa
well aa in the musjc of its bella, both
became a single unit to its folk and
known as a Singing Tower.
Such traditions have played their
purt in the Mountain Imkc Singing
Tower. In materials and motifs it
often partakes directly of Florida itself.
The coquina rock of the walls
is similar bo that used by the SpanI
iqrds in the old fort at St. Augustine.
Also a Florida influen6fe is found in
the grille of colored faience in the
lancet windows." Here," through a
series of undersea forms, like the
jelly-fish and sea-horse, the development
of life is traced through flora
and fauna, reaching the trees and
birds of the upper panels and centering
the figures of Adam and Eve in
a relief showing man's dominion over
all.
Similarly the carvings of Lee O.
Lawrie of birds on the marble band
encircling the Tower and on the pinnacles,
show the cranes, flamingoes,
and many birds native to Florida.
The architect of the Tower is MilI
tOft B. Mednry, F] T5". A. I. A.
A carillon has been defined as "a
I set of bells tuned to the intervals of
a chromatic scale, that is proceeding
J entirly by half tones, the compass
being three octaves or more, and all
the bells hung 'dead' or fixed, that is
I so as not to swing."
The carillon of the Mountain Lake
Singing Tower has 61 bells with 48
> I tones, or four octaves, the thirteen
upper tones being duplicated so as
I to avoid the airy sound of small
I bells. The total weight of the bells
I is 128,164 pounds. The tenor bell
alone weighs eleven tons, and the
I smallest bell sixt?"en pounds. It is
I the finest and largest carillon ever
cast and has been made at John
Taylor & Son's bell foundry at Loughborough,
England.
The Bellmaster is Anton Brees, the
world's greatest oarillonneur.
The Sanctuary Bells will play each
1 afternoon at 1 o'clock from December
I 1st, to April 3l)th, with an extra reI
cital on Sundays at 12:30 noon.
I The Sanctuary and Singing Tower
have been given to the public by Mr.
I Bok as a tribute of affection to his
grandparents, who transformed a barren
sandbar off the Dutch Coast into
I a place of beauty, leaving their
grandchildren the message, "Make
you the world a bit more beautiful
and better because you have lived in
it."

Gets Thirty Years
For Killing Moore
Charlotte, N. ., Fab. 27.?After
sentencing Benny Mack, Charlotte j
pugilist, to 20 to 2b years in the
tote prison for murder of W. K
Moore, Judge A. M. Stack late this
afternoon increased the sentence to
22 to SO years because the box,er
cursed a state witness.
"Young man," Judge Stack said to
Mack, who had been brought from
his cell, "You think you are bigger |
than the law." lie then ordered the <
sentence changed.
Mack had been quoted as saying to
Diilard Price, brother-in-law of the
I dead man and star witness for the
state, that he wished he "had killed !
the whole d?? family." This was
just outside the courtroom after
Judge Stack had pronounced sentence.
The remark 'occasioned much comment
among court followers and
eventually reached Judge Stack's ears.
He at once ordered Mack " to ; bo
brought before him.
The original sentence was passed
after Solicitor John G. Carpenter,
agreed to the defense attorneys' "proposal
to submit Mack to second degree
murder charge. They at first
had proposed that he be submitted to
a charge of manslaughter.
The trial came to an ubnipt.. close
late this morning when Judge Stack
elicited the statement from Mack
that he had fired two shots after
Moore had turned to walk away. He t
had made a plea of self-defense.
Judge Stack then declared he i
would have to instruct the jury to'
find Mack guilty of at least seconddegree
murder. The maximum penalty
for this is 30 years.
Moore was killed February 3 aftej
he and Mack had an argument over
a $5 debt.

Old Time Sheriff
Passes at Los Angeles
Los Angeles, Feb. ?Martin j
j Agu.irre, 71, last of the old-time i
sheriffs of California, who generally i
used a knife instead of a revolver to
maintain order in the days when a
"six shooter" and a quick draw were
considered symbols of authority, died
in his sleep yesterday in a dingy hotel
room here.
Aguirre and his lxrwie were respected
when Los, Angeles was a
! sleepy town and the holster and
: cartridge belt were part of every day
; attire. Probably his most famous
exploit was the single handed rescue
j of 10 per-ons during a flood of the
j L..s Angeles river in ISSti. He was
; near the live: hank when the flood
( wafer came down with a rush, atry!
ing houses with terror sticken men,
| women and childen huddled on the
j roofs.
Aguirre plunged his horse into the
surging debris-choked stream and
carried 19 persons to safety, one at
a time. On the twentieth trip he
snatched a little girl from a window
and started for the bank, when his
horse, nearly exhausted, tripped ..ver
1 a submerged picket fence and fell.
As he wont under. Aguirre tfung
; the child onto a protruding portion of
i the fence. As soon as he recovered
- himself ho fought back, inch by inch,
? to get her, but she was gone.
