The sale of thousands of copies of a tencent
magazine at one dollar a piece was a
very curious happening at the time of the
Chicago World's Fair. The Cosmopolitan
prepared a World's Fair number, contributed
to by many famous writers, and
so thoroughly illustrated that it surpassed
even the most expensive l>ook which had
up to that time been issued. In those days
the magazines was printed from two sets
of plates only, and when these were worn
out it was impossible, without a great loss
of time, to put further editions on the
press. The newsdealers, taking advantage
of this condition, raised the price of
the Cosmopolitan's World's Fair number
to one dollar a copy. A few sales were j
even made toward the close at the phenomenal
figure of five dollars. Undoubtedly
this happening is unique in the history
of magazine literature. The Cosmopoh- <
^ % tan will endeavor to repeat its past success,
with a Pan-American Exposition
Number, which will be even more attract
ive, if possible than its World's Fair predecessor.
The most famous writers of the country J
have been invited to take part in the
preparation of this issue. After many

Pardon Asked For.
Yesterday Col. P. H.Nelson,representing
Col. W. A. Neal, made an appointment
with the governor for this morning
for the purpose of presenting to the chief
executive the petitions in behalf of Col.
Neal. These petitions have been gotten
up in various portions of the Stafe and
are said to be numerously signed. Yesterday
the governor received additional letters
asking for the pardon of Col. Neal.
Many of these come from men of prominence
in different parts of South Carolina.
It is Col. Nelson's purpose to file the petitions
and present to the governor reasons
why Col. Neal should be pardoned.
The general public is watching the outcome
of the matter with much interest ?

It is doubtful if any book, selling at
} forty times the price of the magazine, will
give any description of the Fair which
will approach in interest and artistic
value the September Cosmopolitan.
Those who visit the Fair will preserve
this number as a delightful reference-book
in the years to come, and those who are
unable to go there will secure such a comprehensive

A Negro "Protract in Edgefield.
Editor Herald :?Up here in this part
of Edgefield?twenty miles from the
court house and same distance from
Augusta, in a sparsely settled community?the
negro have an annual meeting at
a church near where we pitched our tent
and they designate it as "the protract."
This momentous convention embraces a
whole week, services beginning at sunrise
and ending in the "wee snia' hours,"
giving only a short interval for rest and
food. I am told a relay of ministers are
on hand, as well as relief congregations,
so that when a new preacher gets up in
the pulpit it is a signal for a new congregation,
one going out another coming in.
They term conversion as "coming
? through," and this coming through process
is as ludicous as some of the heathen
customs. One man remained at the plow
?being a wages hand?and in the middle
ofther >w he "came through," took to
* ~ his heels, leaving mule and plow, yelling
at every step. Others heard him and took
after him joining in the war whoop.
When several dozen men, women and
children with barking dogs had stirred
up the people for quite a distance, the
man fell in a dead faint. Another "coming
through" case was Haley?a big black

the displeasure of one named Hannah,
by charming her (Hannah's) husband
away. In the meeting Haley "came
through" and fell in the usual dead faint
when some one yelled "Haley's dead." :
Hannah hearing it rushed up on the scene |
saying, "wliar is she ? let me git dar." ,
Haley was gone through when Hannah

The following prayer has been report- ;

Mr. Editor, I would be the last person
on earth to ridicule religion if I deemed j
it religion. I have the highest reverence (
for every body of people that is formed ,
into a christian sect. Though their views
may seem wrong to me, I have at least
respect for their right to an opinion. And
apropos of this, let me say, that I cannot
understand why people, professing^ to be ,
followers of the meek and lowly Christ,
can become haters of each other. Christ
in the heart brings peace, good will, perfect
love. SaUJJ^^ho often dresses iu

Welcomed to Tombstone.
"No, I never intend to sot foot in
Tombstone, Arizona, again," remarked
James Bosco, at the Albany last night;
"that is provided, of course, that God let>
me live and gives me strength and
knowledge to guide my steps. You want
to know why? It was like this: Twelveyears
ago f graduated from Princeton
University, in both the law and literary
departments. I immediately came West,
for it was my ambition to hang out my
shingle in a place that afforded" plenty of
criminal law. I was in El Paso. Texas,
when I was told that there was a small
town in Arizona called Tombstone, and
that there ought to be plenty of criminal
practice there, as murders and such things
were common. While 011 my journey i
fell in with a 'greaser.' who had a limited
English vocabulary, but who succeeded
in making my hair stand on end by informing
me that one young lawyer who
had, in past years, attempted to prosecute
a man for killing another in Tombstone,
was himself shot by the sheriff, who happened
to be a friend of the murderer. I
noticed a crowd of cowboys and gamblers,
who eyed me closely, ami a few low remarks
were dropped. 1 took 110 notice of
this, however, but stabled my horse and
put up for the night at the only lodging
house I could tind. Having nothing better
to do, I retired to sleep about S o'clock,
and, being tired, soon fell asleep.
"I don't know at what tune I was awakened,
but it was probably about midnight
that I heard a great knocking at my door.
I jumped out of bed and opened it. Then
I went to bed again, and on looking up a
sight met my eyes which would have
frightened braver men than I; but I had
always heard that the best plan in emergencies
was to keep a cool head, and so I
tried to appear cool.
"At least twenty half-drunken cattle
rustlers and rowdies stalked into my
room, with drawn guns and serious; faces.
Then I remembered telling the landlord I
was a lawyer, and my heart failed me.
"See here, ye tenderfoot," said the leader
to me, 'ef ye ve got the nerve ye'11 not git
hurt, but if ye show the white feather ye'll
git a streak o' moonlight through ye.' I
made no reply.
"Then, before I realized it, a pistol shot
rang out, and the ball shattered the window
pane. This was only a signal, and I
was greeted with a fusilade. Bullets pattered
against the walls, broke the furniture
and some actually ploughed through
the mattress on which I lay. Their marksmanship
was wonderful, for with what
seemed a great deal of. reckless shooting
I was touched but once, and then the ball
only took the skin from the calf of my leg.
I expected each instant to be killed, but I
knew that if I kept still I had some chance,
whereas if I had moved it would have
beeu certain death.
"Presently there was a pause, and with
all the nerve I could muster I said, 'Gentlemen,
if you're done shooting I'll go to
sleep.' They were amazed at my coolness
and to show their admiration for grit, they
left me 'alone in my glory' and filed out
of the room.
"I never closed my eyes after that, but
at the first sign of day I dressed and went
down to saddle my horse.
"The part of the whole affair that always
struck me as being ludicrous was
that when I went to pay the landlord for
my night's lodging he had the brass to
present me with a bill of $12 for broken

A Candidate for Lynching.
Florence, August 19.?Liney Cook, a
young white man, assaulted and attempted
an outrage on Miss.Bela Lynch, near
Effingham, in this county, last night, and
to-day Sheriff Buroh is after him with a
warrant. Mr. A. J. Lynch, father of the
young woman, came to the city to-day
and issued a warrant for Cook, charging
him as above.
The facts are last night Cook, who is21
years old, called on Miss Lynch, who is
just 16, to drive her to Bethany Baptist
Church, a few miles distant. After service
the young couple were returning home,
when Cook made proposals, which the
young lady refused. Cook then began to
use force. Miss Lynch fought him and was
badly used up. In this condition she
jumped from the buggy and ran into the
woods. The night being dark, and Cook
being unable to leave his horse, she soon
hid in the underbrush. Cook then drove
off hurriedly. Shortly afterwards she
beard other people coming from church,
and she rode home with them and informed
her father of the trouble.
Search was instantly made by the father
and neighbors for Cook, but he had left
the neighborhood. Every effort will be
made by the sheriff and his deputies to
capture the assailant. Miss Lynch is of
one of the best families of tiie county.
Cook is of a good family, and his actions
last night are unaccounted for.

NERVE OF ENGINEERS
IT DOES NOT, AS A RULE, OESERT
THEM AFTER AN ACCIDENT.
Denperate Chsac.es the Man at the
Throttle Will at Times Take Without
Being Able to Give a Satisfactory
Reason For His Action.
"I have been often asked why railway
engineers disregard their instructions
and the warning signals along the
line of their road," said the general superintendent
of a railroad to a man,
"and 1 have summed it up that it Is human
nature for men to take chances in
their business and that engineers are
no exception to the general run.
"Sometimes they cannot give a satisfactory
reason why they do so. I will
give you an authentic instance of this
habit which made me live 10 years in
30 minutes.
"On a road I was at the time connected

been opened, and as a tugboat was
passing through the bridge men heard
the rumble bf a fast, heavily laden
passenger train as It struck the bridge
a mile away. Knowing that the red
danger signals were set with the opening
of the draw, they supposed that the
engineer would slow up or stop, as
might bo necessary. Instead, to their
consternation, the train came along at
regular speed, and a frightful accident
appeared Inevitable. They yelled to the
captain of the tugboat to go at full
speed, and as the boat gilded through
the draw In the darkness they exerted
themselves to swing the draw Into the
locking bolts before the train could get
to the point where the rails separated.
"The engineer, however, disregarded
the last danger signal, a few hundred
yards from the draw, and came on. By
a remarkable coincidence of time and
position the draw, which was of course
In motion, swung so that the rails of
the east bound track were in juxtaposition
with the west bound track, upon
which the train was running, and the
heavy engine and one of the passenger
coaches, striking the east bound rails.
gilded upon the draw and stuck there,
the remaining portion of the train being
on the west bound track, making
almost a figure S of the coachea
"If the draw had moved the thirtieth
part of a second faster or slower, the
east bound rails would not have been
opposite the west bound rails at the
very instant that the great engine
struck them, and a frightful disaster
would have resulted. When I got out
on the bridge a few minutes later, I
fully expected to find the train In the
bottom of the bay and the draw smashed
into spllntera I discharged the engineer
on the spot and asked him why
he bad not observed the signals. He
admitted that he saw them, but could
not give a satisfactory reason for falling
to observe them. He evidently took
his chances of finding the draw dosed
when he reached It
"The engineer of today Is a sober,
steady, nervy man, especially on the
fast express trains on the big roads. It
Is nerve that makes one man carry a
limited express train through the darkness
of the night, fog, sleet and blinding
snow at GO miles on hour. The stories
wo read about of an engineer losing
his nerve after an accident are
largely fiction. In 27 years of active
railroad life I have had but one or two
men appiy u> me lot a, irauam upuu
the ground thnt their nerves had gone
back on them for running the fast
trains.
"I have had men who have been flung
60 feet over their tenders in a head on
collision and had a dozen bones broken
come to me after they had been discharged
from the hospital and ask to be
put back on their old run. You see, they
begin firing when they are about 18 or
20, and the cab of an engine Is their
home. If they run into a person or a
wagon load of people on the track. If It
Is not their fault they take a practical
view of it; they have to. If it Is their
fault we discharge them, and they can
take any view of It they please then,
for we do not wish in onr employ careless
men. This Is true with all of the
big roads, and as a result American engineers
of today are about as model a
6et of men in their employment as can
be found."?Washington Star.

"Something New Under the Sun."
All doctors have tried to cure catarrh
by the use of powders, acid gases, inhalers
and drugs in paste form Tln-ir

"The mate of a certain schooner," he

after he had recovered from an unusually
severe attack of intoxication, he was looking
over the log and found that the captain

"The mate promptly went to the captain

" 'It is true, isn't it ?' asked the captain.
"'Yes,' said the mate.

"A few da.,~ later the captain in looking

Shameful to Whistle.
"Nowhere but in the United States and
England do men and boys whistle in public
with shame," said a traveler the other
night, who is on his way around the world
for the third time. "In France I have
heard meu hum on the streets, and in
Germany and Russia I have even heard
them sing, but not even when they are
intoxicated will these foreigners whistle
as we do. It is odd that we should have
this habit. It is common to the wealthy
and high bom among us as well as to the
poor and lowly. Onhr the other afternoon
I saw a young man/who aims at exclusiveness
and has a valet, whistling'Dolly
Gray' on Chestnut street as loud as lie
could. Here and there some one smiled

WOBDS WE SWALLOW

CAN'T GET THEM OUT.
Thin Illtch la the Working of the
Brnla In Called Aphakia In the
Medical Profeanlon ? A Trick the
! Chinaman U*e* For the Emcrpcncx.
Everybody knows what it Is to have
a word on the tip of the tongue and yet
not be able to speak it The word is
known perfectly well, and yet we cannot
for the life of us give it utterance.
More often than not it is a common
word in everyday use. Iiut it will not
be spoken when wanted. What is the
. e. .li. II...,,..,* 1.,,.00 <)??
B CrCl Ol hum vvwm iiu^v uuuko.-<i
Doctors call it aphasia. They cannot
explain it, but say it is a little hitch in
the working of the brain or intellect.
The Chinese, who have done so many
quaint and clever things, recognized
the difficulty thousands of years ago
and Invented a verv ingenious way of
making the best of things.
They manufactured a number of
words and sentences that meant absolutely
nothing, mere sound without
sense. When a Chinaman in the course
of conversation comes to a word that
he has on the tip of his tongue, but cannot
speak, he Just makes use of the
meaningless phrases Invented for that
purpose until he recalls the word he
wants and goes on with the conversation.
The trick, for trick it is, is much in
nse in public speaking and certainly is
on improvement on the "er?or?ers/'
coughInga and throat clearings that so
plentifully besprinkle our own after
dinner orations. The speaker preserve#,
his dignity and gives himself time for
thought
Very often the greater the desire to
speak the missing word the greater the
difficulty or sheer impossibility. The
man in the Arabian story could not re*
member the words "Open sesame," although
he was in danger of his life.
There are many cases on record of soldiers,
even officers, forgetting the password
and being shot down by their
own sentries. At the critical moment
the all important word that they
thought they knew as well as their own
names escapes them. They struggle to
recall it, but the very effort makes it
more difficult, and they pay with their j
lives.
A man may sometimes be tortured
and yet be unable to speak the word he
most desires to utter. Spies have been j
captured and have gone to their death
In Rilence not because they have not j
been eager to betray their comrades,
but because under the stress and ex* |
citement of the situation they have totally
forgotten the information they
would convey. A celebrated case of this
kind was made the subject of a play j
produced in London some years ago,
called "A Question of Memory."
No doubt every reader will be able to
recall instances In which he has suffered
from this "word forgetfulness."
One can often remember the initial letter
of the word, but not the word Itself.
It is still on the tip of the tongue, even
after one has given up the struggle to
recollect it
Actors sometimes forget a word or
two In their parts that no effort of their
own can give back to them at the moment.
But the wings reached and the
strain removed they are again immediately
word perfect and at a loes to
explain their forgetfulness. A whole
part is sometimes forgotten. This usually
happens after a very long run.
Daring the run of "The Second Mrs.
Tanqueroy" Mrs. ratrlck Campbell one
night found herself on the stage as Innocent
of any knowledge of her part as
any member of the audience. She made
desperate efforts to "find herself," but
It was no good. That performance she
had to read the part through from beginning
to end.
Names of people are the words that
slip our memories most frequently. We
see a face we know, and yet we cannot
fit a name to It We are shaken by the
hand or slapped on the back, and ail
the while we are hard at work trying
to think of the name of the person who
Is doing It Kings are credited with
royal memories, and It Is rare to find a
sovereign who has not a wonderful
memory for faces. But he usually has
some one at his elbow who can Jog his
memory for names.
It Is not always safe to fish for a
name wanted. When Ellen Terry and
Henry Irving were In America one
year, they met a gentleman who, they
knew, had reason to expect that they
could remember his name. But this
they failed to do. So Miss Terry approached
him and said: "Sir Henry and
I cannot agree as to the exact spelling
of your name. Will you please put us
right?" "Certainly," was the reply. "It
Is J-o-n-e-sI"
Aphasia Is divided by those who have
studied the subject Into "word blindness"
and "word deafness." A man
who la "word biind" may be able to
pronounce the name of letters, but cannot
understand the meanings of the
words they form. A man who Is "word
deaf' can understand ordinary sounds
and music, but cannot understand spo
teen words. His speech is often mere
senseless jargon.
Bot the passing forgetfulness of a
word has little to do with these more
serious forms of the complaint. We
8wallow weirds under the influence of
excitement or more often of fatigue.
People getting better from a serious illness
are torraented by the loss of common
words. This Is particularly the
case after Influenza. One of our leading
statesmen after an attack of this
malady suddenly lost the thread of his
speech In the midst of a public discourse.
"Word forgetfulness" is, however,
mainly the result of careless observation
or of want of training. What we
never knew well we very easily forget.
An experienced police detective never
forgets a face or name.?Pearson's.
Astonnded The Editor.
Editor S. A. Brown, of Bennettsville,
S. C\, was once immensely surprised.
'Through long suffering from dyspepsia,"
he writes, "my wife was greatly run down.
She had no strength or vigor and suffered
great distress from her stomach, hut
| she tried Electric Bitters which helped
lier at once, and, after using ioiu uihiics,
she is entirely well, can cat anything. It's
|a grand tonic, and its gentle laxative
qualities are splendid for torpid liver"
For indigest ion, loss of appelitc, stomach
and liver troubles it's a positive, guaranteed
cure. Onlv 50c. at Dr. and T. Black.
The description of a wedding notice in
the society department sounds like dukes
and kings until in the last ten lines, when
it is said that the groom is "a popular]
clerk in the dry goods house of So A So."!
Their Secret is Out.
All Sadieville, Ivy., was curious to learn
the cause of ilie vast improvement in the
health of Mrs. S. 1'. Whittaker, who had
for a long time, endured untold suffering
from a chronic bronchial trouble. ' It's ail
due to Dr. King's New Discovery," writes
her husband. "It completely cured her
and also cured ou r little grand-daughter of
a severe attack of whooping cough." I:
