WILD HANJS FOUND hihurg STOir of m cap- TDIE FOLLOWS CAUGHT IN THE JUNGLE The Man, Who I/ooks LJke a Uea.st, is (k>vert'd From Head to Foot With Hair, Was Driven From the Huamp by the lliyh Waters of the Santee Hiver. A thrilliax story of the rapture of a typical wild man of the jungle, a negro, covered from head to foot with black, bristling hair, as thick and long as that on some giant gorilla, on the edge of Santee Swamp, in South Carolina, near Lanes Junction, fifty miles north of Charleston, is told by W. S. Damon, conductor in charge of the Atlantic Coast Line pas senger train which arrived at 3:25 p. m. from Florence Sunday, says the Savannah Morning News of Monday. The wild man, Mr. Damon states, driven from Santee Swamp by a freshet in the Santee River, hid in a barn near the edge of the marsh land and, when discovered, fought fiend ishly until overpovvrrej! and cowed Into subjection. The man is now- chained and tied with ropes in the barn In which he‘was captured, the conductor says. Details of the capture of the man, Mr. Damon states, are unknown to him. Lanes Junction Is a division j>oint where transfers are made for Columbia, (ieorgetown and Savannah He said that when his train reached the Junction Sunday morning at 11:10 o’clock the little town was in a state of Intense excitement over the capture of the man The Savannah train did not stop at Lanes, however, for longer than five minutes and so Mr Damon could get but meagre In formation of the affair. The ne groes of I^anea are panic-stricken, Mr Damon says What disposition will be made of the man Mr. Damon declare* he doea not know . He says that it is his supposition, however, that the mat- tar will b« reported to the authori ties of the State Hospital for the In sane at Columbia and that the man will be sent there for confinement and observation The man is s bur ly negro and apeaka some Kngllsh, says the conductor It is generally thought, the con doctor says, that the negro is either an escaped convict or a fugitive fronf Justice He says It 1s the g.-neral be- Ilef at laines that the man went Into Santee Swamp to hide ^om officers of the law and. frightened by the loneliness of the place and the fear of capture, became Insane Another theory of how the man reached his present state of aavag ery. Mr Damon says. Is that the ne gro, already man. wandered into the swamp and remained there The ap pearance of the negro. It la stated, would Indicate that he had been liv ing In the swamp as a savage for probably many years. According to Mr Damon, when members of a family of negroes re siding on a small farm on the edge *f Santee Swamp went out to a ram- shackled barn In the roar of their little cabin, about daybreak Sunday, th«%y were frightened by the terrltde sight of a man, over six feet tall, broad and muscular, with great brawny arms and heavy shoulders, covered from head to foot with thick black hair and whose eyes gleamed like' those of some wild animal. (Touched in one corner of the shack aa thoug!t~"^bady to spring upon the' first living creature which molested h i m. The family of negroes. It Is said, were thrown Into a panic and went hurrying in all dins tions in search of aid. Residents of that neighborhood went in response to the frightened cries and pleas for help. A small mob, it is said, formed around the barn within half an hour and plans were hastily made for the capture of the man alive, If possible, and with as little injury to him as necessary. The negro showed signs of fight and when the effort to catch him con tinued, fought viciously. Finally, however, without any of the mob be ing hurt and without inflicting any injuries upon the man further than a few bruises of a'minor nature, the burly stranger, more animal in ap pearance than human, was overpow ered and tied hand and foot. Quickly the news of the fight Vith and the capture of the man spread over the surrounding country and people from adjoining settlements and residing on small farms and along the railroads in all directions from Lanes Junction began to pour into that little town to view tyhe strange species of human held In tlie barn of the negro family. Little groups and circles of people, the blacks and the whites to them selves, began to form all over the streets of Lilnes Junction, with here and there a larger gathering of white men, with a few awe-stricken ne groes on the outskirts who would listen c for a few momenta to the trend of the diacaesion. and then go back to those of their own race to OFFICE SEEKERS LEAVE IT DOKH NO GOOD TO RKMAIN AT THE CAPITOL. Mouthboand Trains liiing Many Dis appointed Ones Who Have Not Heen Able to Land Berth*. The Washington correspondent of The State says every train leaving Washington, going in a southerly di rection, carries on its lists of pa$- sengers many disgruntled and much disappointed office seekers. Some of these came to Washington Just alter Christmas, when congress assembled, others came to the inauguration, and still otle r have arrived since. They are going home because tiny have become thoroughly convinced that the national capital is a very expen sive place iiy which to live while waiting for the plum tree to shake. The home-goers are not from any one state, or from any one section ol the country, for that matter, al though it is true that, for" obvious reasons, more of them are from the South than elsewhere. Hut there is something else the job hunters have recently discovered. They have become convinced that it will do them no good to remain in Washington. One having placed their interests in the hands of their respective congressmen there is little • ■Ise that can now l>e done. Secretary Hryan will not return to his office for some time from his Western trip and several of the other cabinet members expect to he away more or less dur ing tlie early spring months. Added to tins is the friendly advice handed out to th<‘ weary waiters by the ron- gressnion that longt-r tarrying h»re would bt> of no ava11.

King (leorge of Cnece was assas sinated while walking in the streets of Saloniki Tuesday afternoon. The assassin was a Greek of low mentali ty who gave his name as Aleku .ScIn nas. Jle shot the king through the heart. The king was accompanied only by an aide-de-camp, Lieut.-Col Fran- coudis. The assassin came suddenly at the king and fired one shot from a seven-chambered revolver. The tragedy caused intense excitement. Schinas was seized immediately and overpowered. The wounded king was lifted into a carriage and taken to the Fapafion hospital. He was still breathing when placed in the carriage. i’rince Nicholas, the king's third son, and other officers hurried to the hospital. Arriving (list.

For instance, all of the fourth class postmasters are now- appointed only after standing a civil service exami nation, and unless the new adminis tration changes its policy along this line, there will be absolutely noth ing that the Congressman can do in the way of selecting postmasters. There are many post offices in this State where the salary is less than $1.01)0, and these come under the civil service. ('aught Girl in His Anns. Patrick ,J.
