Cook, 11, daughter of Mrs. C. R. Cook, revived the full charge of the guri between her abdomen and cheat, when .she followed | her brother, Charley Cook, 14, to get the gun to kill a hawk.

To Petition For Release Friends of J. B. Connor and MDoc" Phillips who were convicted laait fall of manslaughter in connection with the death of J. H. Harrison of iRock Hill, who wu killed when an attempt to arrest him was made between Lancaster and the Catawba river are circulating a petition to be presented to Governor Richards an J the pardon boards asking for the release of these two men whose terms began January 1st. A large number of names have been signed to the petition and it is believed that considerable pressure will l>e brought to bear by this petition as a number of influential men and office holders have attached their names to it. The two men who were convicted began serving time the first of this month but it is believed that the pr.rdon board will take their case up as S0911 as possible.?Lancaster News. Wastefulness Says the Yorkville Enquirer:? "Looked at from almost any standpoint.you plea##, the wastefulness of the people of South Carolina is almost criminal." This is true, in spite of the fact that conditions ate financially worse than in years. Our people have not always been wasteful. Our present era of waste is no doubt due to the fact that an abnormal plane of living was indulged in during the years of prosperity following the war. Many folks seem to find it impossible to return to the simple and economical life again. Frugality is demanded now, and those who practice it arc getting along all right, the hard times notwithstanding. They have not much money, to be sure, but it does not take a great deal of' cash if strict economy is practiced.?.Bamberg Herald. And here we are with eggs sixtyfive cents per dozen and we have no eggs to sell. Every egg worth more than five cents. If we keep on crowding into the towns every egg will be worth a dime in a few years, remarks the Spartanburg Herald.
