Kershaw Man Is Shot In The Neck Tom Phillip*, of Kershaw, was shot on Saturday night at the home of Mr*. Nettie Karnes under rather mysterious circumstances. Mrs. Barnes, who was arrested and placed in jail claimed that Phillips shot himself, but persons who talked with Phillips claim that he said he was shot by Mrs. Barnes. The wounded man was taken to a hospital in Rock Hill w^ere he is said to be suffering from a bullet wound in the neck but resting well. According to the abory as told by Mrs. Barnes to Sheriff l>abney, who placed her under arrest, Phillips was drunk and? taking a pistol which was hanging on the wall shot himself. She admitted that the pistol was her property. Bloodstains were found on the floor of her home and on house furnishings. . % At the time of the shooting there was no one in the house except Mrs. Barnes ami Mr. Phillips according to the woman. The shooting occurred about 9 o'clock on Saturday night and Phillips was rushed to a Rock Hill hospital immediately. The residence of Mrs. Barnes is on the outskirts of the Kershaw mill village, fthe is a divorcee.?Lancaster News. KAZORBACKS DISAPPEARING Wild Hogs, Native to Arkansas, Now Curiosities Out There There are still some wild hogs in the low country swamps of South Carolina, and a number are killed there by hunters every fall and winter. But in the place where he flourished best, the ruzorback hog apparently is getting to rate a place in the hull of fossils in a few years. No longer a common animal, even in Arkansas where it was supposed to have been domiciled forever, it is now much sought as a rare species for zoos. The regular old Arkansas razorback hog actually commands a premium and is worth more in dollars and cents than the best cobn-fed specimen of purebred swine. This species of hog is bristly, grizzly and fierce looking. It stands high and is built for speed. It is said that pioneers in Arkansas preferred the razorback because it was able to outrun wild animals which infested the state in early days. They are hardy and survive the most severe winter without being fed by the owner. Before becoming almost extinct razorbacks ran in droves in the lowland areas along rivers and streams, living in the canebrakes where they often became wild and ferocious. They possessed great tusks, which they used when pressed in close quarters and were known to tear hunting ~~Tiogs~to-ptfce*-in-mortal combat Sportsmen frequently visit Arkansas sacking a supply of the animals for stocking game preserves. They are hard to find, however, because farmers have long since stopped raising hogs of uncertain pedigree. Allen T. Burns, head of the N'a urvnai Association of Community Chests and Councils, states that there will be twice as many destitute in the cities this next winter as there were _ last winter. Private relief funds are practically exhausted, he says. POISON in Your bowels! Poisons absorbed into the system from souring waste in the bowels, cause that headachy, sluggish, bilious condition; coat the tongue; foul the breath; sap energy, strength and nerve-force. A little of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin will cledf up trouble like that, gently, harmlessly, in a hurry. The difference it will make in your feelings over night will prove its merit to you. Dr. Caldwell studied constipation for forty-seven years. This long experience enabled him to make his prescription just what men, women, old people and children need to make their bowels help themselves. Its natural, mild, thorough action and ita pleasant taste commend it to people of all ages. That's why "Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin," ss it hi called, is the most popular laxative drugstores sell. On. W. B. CALDWtut SYRUP PEPSIN * A Doctork Family Lamtim Umbrella Long Matter for Public Ridicule if the history of the sunshade or parusol is one of dignity ?ui<!l more or less solemnity, not so the umbrella. Its development Is attended by oousid arable ridicule and hilarity. The orb gin of the uuibrellu, that is, the ose of a covering to protect one from rain, is somewhat obscure. It is said that In 1710 Marius of Curls invented an umbrella witii jointed stock, that could be folded, put In a case, and carried in the pocket. But It was not satlsfac- { lory and faded Into obscurity. in the Eighteenth century the umbrella became known and used all over Europe? Germany, France. Italy. Holland?rand was sold on the streets of I'arls by hawkers for from 15 to 22 francs. England did not take kindly to the umbrella, In 1710, Dean Swift men tions seeing one made of oilcloth, and used by ladies only. A young man attempted to curry orie, but was ridiculed In the press, Kobinson Crusoe and his umbrella did much to popu lari/.e It, and it was often called the "Kobinson." Jonas llathawuy (1780) Is said to tie the first man in England to curry an umbrella, and he carried It courageously for HO years In spit" of Jeers and ridicule, and the "crass obscurantism" with which he Is wild" to have b^en met by the public.?Exj change.

Preserved by Fro?t A Russian scientific mission sent out by the Bolsheviks from Lenuiii grud to the Altla mountains In Central Asia, lias discovered the burial mound of a Hun chieftain of *J7 centuries ago. Front Asia the Huns swept Into Russia. This leader of the Huns bad his fortress among the high peaks of the mountains. From there he swept like a vulture on to the plains. To his eyrie he returned with his spoils. There he lived and died. Thousands of winters have passed over the burial place. None can tell who the chief was, or what tyrannies he committed, or how he died. But Time, which has effaced his memory, has preserved his body. The cold has embalmed It In its rock tomb.

Some of them Kb in bathing, others go in swimming, and still oihkfs going in hwashing. Saw one guy parading toward the surf just before noon with a cake of laundry soap in one hand ami a towel in the other hand and , two \yash rags in the other hand, and Nhe seemed bent on cleaning up. .... I felt terribly for a young lady t /of about 47 summers and 48 winters this afternoon. &he was jumping the waves near me and her bathing suit busted in the wrong place. After that, she let the waves jump her. She became very culm, turned a dull pink in the face, walked backwards towards the shore where nobody happened to be and when she got to a point where the water wak' only knee deep, she sat down. When I left the .ocean, she was still sitting? evidently awaiting the arrival of dear old nightfall. ....1 did my part (at the urgent request of my wife) to absorb some ultra violet rays for my health's sake during this vacation?and as a consequence, my back is blistered from one end to the other. Instead of getting a Miami sun-tan, I got a blastfurnace red hot.

They were crawling and squirming all over one another and looked like anything eh}? except something "fitten" to eat. I later saw the cooks undressing those birds. It seemed only a case of pinching off their tails and hulling them from stem to stern. What they plqcked from th??e string-halted, spider-legged turkles was good-looking white meat. They were brought to the table at dinner all dolled up in their own shells, baked to a nut brown. I thought of them as they had been and I thought of them as they were?and being perfectly sober I ate 2 of them and liked them. . .?.We will have vto jwick up*.tomorrow and leave for hotne art# hard . work.
