Thursday, Nov. 17,1904
Well, if the dispensary constables must,
kill people, it is better that they kill each
other.
Chief Justice Pope has begun to render
some opinions recently. Wonder why he
didn't do this sooner?
It is very evident, even at this stage of
the game, that it will take some mighty
hard work to save the dispensary. The
system seems to be on its last legs.
If some Democrats had worked as
hard for the success of the ticket as they
have been trying to explain how it happened,
maybe the result would have been
different.
Governor Heyward is making a fine
record for himself these days in the matter
of refusing pardons. He acted on
i eight ftppllCdtlOQS iSSi Omuiuajj
u seven and granting one.
It looks like the Aiken county law and
, order league is to be tnrned into a debating
society. We would not belittle the
work of such an organization, but what
is needed is action?not talk.
Oh, well, the newspapers are in not
such bad shape after all. The dispensary
is likely to be a live topic for discussion
i for some time to come, and then the legislature
meets in January. So we'll have
something to talk about for awhile at least.
D. S. Henderson, Esq., wrote a long
letter which was read at the recent meeting
of the law and order league in Aiken,
in which he referred to the "black sheep"
members of the legal profession and
spoke of all such characters being disbarred
from practice. If such a movement
7 as this was started in earnest it might
. bring about some surprising results.
Of course a good deal can be said in
.^condemnation of "jurors who have so
little regard for decency as to he influenced
by illegitimate methods in render???.
nowiiMe" hnt what is coine to be
I' done with the lawyer who uses "illegitimate
methods" in influencing jurors. It
seems to us that the lawyer who stoops
to questionable means to influence a ver'
diet in his favor is more to be feared and
-detested than a juror who readily lends
himself to such influence. Cleanse the
bar and there would be no cause for complaint
as to the juries, but just so long as
there arc dirty lawyers will there be dishonest
and purchasable jurors. There is
no use to mince matters; strike at the
root of the evil. There are too many
men practicing law in South Carolina
who ought to be in the penitentiary.
Whip It Out of Him.
In the schools of a Connecticut town,
aays The Baltimore Herald, measures
were recently taken to test the children's
eyesight. As the doctor finished each
school he gave the principal a list of the
pupils whose eyes needed attention, and
requested him to notify the children's
. parents to that effect.
One night soon after the opening of
the fall term, a little boy came home and
gave his father the following note, duly
signed by the principal:
"M. : Dear Sir:?It becomes my
dutv.to inform you that your son shows
decided indications of astigmatism, and
his case is one that should be attended to
WUilUUl UCJajr . (
The next day the father sent the foljjsi&'
lowing answer:
"Dear Sir:?Whip it out of him.

She was a daughter of Mrs. Sarah R.
v'; Rose, formerly of Port Royal Island, but
who died in Orangeburg in the year 1863.
There was a strong poetic and artistic
talent that showed itself in all the family,
paintings of more than ordinary merit
executed by different members of her
7 family being extant.
The funeral was preached by Rev. W.

- A letter received by the Governor
Tuesday from Colleton county says that
. .Sheriff Owens is endeavoring to catch
; Adams,- the murderer who escaped from
the Colleton jail, while under the death

somewhere in the county, and a diligent
search is being made for him.

A Prisoner

Vessel Capsized, and Captain

Predicament qf Commander of

Jn Hull, He Hammered
on Iron TOalU.
A Norwegian bark, the Aurora, in
command of Captain Sorenain, was
Jogging along her course through the
Baltic sea about seventy miles from
Rixhoft The sea was calm, the sky
was clear and the wind Just strong
enough to set ripples dancing.
"On deck, there P sang out the sailor
aloft in the crow's nest "Something
adrift in the water on* the port beam!
Looks like the keel of a capsized
ship!"
Through his glass Captain Sorenzln
made out the object As he was in no
particular hurrr and could not have
sailed faster if he wished, he decided
to investigate. If the wreck could be

taken in tow some salvage might be
secured. Accordingly a boat was low- <
ered and sent away.
When the sailors reached the object
they found It, as they supposed, a capsized
vessel with an iron hull. The
wreck was nearly submerged, only the
keel and the round of the bottom being
above the surface. As the men
from the Aurora clambered upon the
hull they were startled bj what seemed
to be a sound of knocking inside. i
A hoarse voice, unmistakably a hu- <
man voice, shrieked from within.
The salvage corps at once became a i
rescuing party. They found that from
one part of the upturned hull they
could communicate with, but not reach,
the imprisoned man. Curiosity prompted
them to question him before they
took further measures for his relief.
He had been imprisoned there for
twelve days, he told them, shut up
alone in the inverted cabin of a capsized
vessel, drifting he knew not
where and unable to make any signals
of distress.
The rescuers found it Impossible to
get the man out of his cramped and
dangerous quarters. They could not
cut through the iron bottom and had
no diving apparatus. Accordingly it
was decided to tow the wreck into the
port of Neufahrwosser, near Dantzic.
There the wreck was docked beneath
a great shipyard crane, and chains
were passed under it to prevent it from
settling. Blacksmiths were set to work
removing the iron plating.
Only after ten hours of hard work
was the liberation effected.
Amid loud cheers the imprisoned sailor
was taken out, carried to a hotel
and given medical attention. In a few
hours he had recovered sufficiently to
talk.
He was, he said, Hans Engellandt,
thirty-two years old, captain and part
owner of the coasting vessel Erndte.
At Russ, near Memel, he took on a
cargo of lumber for Oldenburg. Soon
alter leaving port a severe storm arose,
and, buffeting the Erndte severely, it
continued all that day and far into the
night
About 4 o'clock the next morning Engellandt
turned the wheel over to the
mate and went below to his cabin. He
had scarcely taken his clothss off to retire
before c terrific Dquall struck the J
vessel, and she topped completely over. 1
So quickly was the Erndte upon her
back that almost before Captain En- 1
gellandt realized what had happened
he found himself sprawling on what
had been the ceiling of the cabin,.with
the ship's keel instead of its spars over- 1
head. . .
At the same time the pressure of water
from the outside closed the cabin !
door and held it fast. Captain Engellandt
was a prisoner in the cabin of an
overturned wreck. In any event ho i
was better off than the three member!
of his crew.. They have not been seen
or heard of since.
Water rose to a height of five feet in
the cabin and then stopped, being held
back by the volume of air compressed
within.
When the ship was built a recepta?'

floor of the cabin between it and the
keel for the storage of spare sails. As
this compartment was now overturned
and above the water, Engellandt sought
shelter th<?re.
Fortunately a chest of drawers containing
condensed milk, prunes, rice,
sugar and smoked sausages was within
reach of Engellandt
Twelve days of indescribable anguish
followed. Cooped up in a dark, ill
smelling hole, with little to eat and not
knowing what minute the ship might
go down, the plight of Engellandt was
most pitiable. As he wore nothing but
his underclothing, he suffered at first
severely from the cold. After awhile,
however, he found some bags and old
sails in the cuddy hole and managed
with them to make himself more comfortable.
He also made a rude bed.

had found Its way under the cabin floor
was very useful to Engellandt Night
and day during his waking moments
he kept hammering on the Iron walls
of his prison to attract attention.
On the twelfth day, hearing an unusual
noise, apparently near the ship,
Engellandt redoubled his hammering.
Voices became audible, and to his
great Joy he heard them hall. The
men of the Aurora came none too soon.

"Some days ago," said Attorney Luther
Laflln Mills of Chicago, "I read in
the papers an account of how a daring
prisoner leaped from an upper story
of the criminal court building in an attempt
to escape.
"The case* brings to my mind a aim-1
liar one that occurred about twenty
years ago at the same building. I prosecuted
a young man for burglary, and
he was convicted and sentenced to six
years In the penitentiary. The prospect
of such "long Imprisonment made
him desperate. After sentence, as he
was being conveyed by a deputy sheriff
from the courtroom to the jail across
the passage connecting the two buildings,
he suddenly sprang over the low
hand railing. He fell forty-five feet,
yet somehow landed safely and at once
made a bold dash for liberty, running
at top speed north In Dearborn avenue.
The alarm was quickly given, and deputy
sheriffs and policemen started In
pursuit After an exciting chase they
captured him In a barn not far from
Lincoln park. In due course he was

his term.
"One evening about twelve years ago
on approaching the Clark street bridge
I found it open, and an excited crowd
of several hundred pen ions was-shouting
and gesticulating. A. policeman informed
me that a woman bad fallen
into the river. She wets drowning before
their eyes, and all they did was
to crush one another and yell like imbeciles.
Suddenly a young man forced his
way through the throng, stood gazing
for an instant and them plunged into
the water. He got the woman as she
was going down for the third time,
8truck out for the bank, and both he
and she were landed in safety.
" What is your name? inquired a
spectator of the brave young rescuer.
" 'I have no name that the public is
Interested in,' he replied. Then he

shook himself like a wet spaniel and
disappeared in the crowd.
"But like a flash I had recognized
the young man. He was the same that
I helped to send to the penitentiary,
the same whose leap for liberty may
still find a place in the memory of
criminal court attaches.
"His leap for liberty, his own, was a
failure; his leap for life, another's, a
success.
"I am pleased to add that the young
man, his old record outlived and forgotten,
is now successfully established
in commercial life In Chicago.**
