State News Boiled Down for Quick Reading Pungent Paragraphs About Men * and Happenings. v $ Alex Joseph, a 12-year-old negro, is in jail at Rock Hill charged with two cases of arson. He was caught setting fire to a farmer's barn. Mr. S. B. Plumer, of Paterson, New Jersey, has been in several towns in the State recently, prospecting for a place to ftstahlish & silk mill. Ex-Governor Hugh S. Thompson died * at his home in New York last Sun-/. : day. The funeral and burial took place in Columbia yesterday. William Sowell and Walter Hough, young men.of Lancaster, fought with <3 pistols on Friday. Hough was shot in the body and hand, Sowell was shot in the leg.and was cut with a knife. G. W. Blackwell, 55 years old, an operative in the cotton mill at Dillon, was struck by a freight train near that town ? last Thursday and instantly killed. He had been drinking and went to sleep on the track. Young Carroll Hook, the eleven-year' h old son of Mr. J. W. Hook, of Batesburg, died last Saturday of hydrophobia. He was bitten about two months ago by a dog supposed to be mad. He was treated rby local physicians and a madstone applied and he had apparently recovered. Phillip Maltry, a German, proprietor of the Wright's hotel barber shop in Columbia, committed suicide at his home last Thursday morning by strangling himself with a cord. He tied a heavy cord around ) his neck and tightened it by twisting with i'f a stick. Business reverses and bad health caused the deed. Julius Dill, a negro driver, was found with a bullet through his heart in front of what is known as the Rock House near Greenville last Monday. The team he had been driving was picked up before ** ^ ? /liAfrtnAa O I me Doay was iuuuu, sumo uumu^ <*?? . There is no cine. He had only 25 cents in his pocket on the trip. % Benet Haynes, a white man, 25 or 26 years old, was shot last Sunday evening at Donalds in Abbeville county by Clandie Addison, a young white woman. It seems that Haynes and another man went to the * house of Irene Long, aunt of the girl. The two men got into a quarrel about a - watch and were ordered to leave. All left except Haynes. He was finally put out of the house but in the yard he grabbed a scantling and threatened to kill the * Long woman. She called to her niece for help, who came to the window and shot . Haynes three .times with an American bull dog pistol. He staggered across the 1 road and died in a few minutes. The two women have been carried to Abbeville and lodged in jail. The men were drink_ng, and the killing is the result of whisI key and women. ^ . A sensation is on in Saluda county. A few weeks ago two white men named Morse and Henderson met in the road in that county. They were enemies and a shooting frolic ensned, the result of which ? was that Morse was killed and Henderson badly wounded. Acting on the advice of Solicitor Thurmond, Governor Heyward offered a reward of $100 for the capture of Henderson. Later this reward was paid to one Maj. R. S. Anderson, of Edge& field, he presenting at the governor's office a receipt signed by the sheriff and his ? son as jailer saying that they had received the body of Henderson. The receipt bore the official seal of the sheriff's office. It now appears that Anderson did not arrest Henderson at all, but that it was done by the sheriff. The sheriff says that he signed t- a paper presented to him by N. G. Evans, a lawyer of Edgefield, who said it was a paper to be used in getting bail for Henderson. > A COSTLY*"MISTAKE.

StOrrs, a druggist at 297 Main street, New Britain, Conn., says: "Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is giving such universal satisfaction and is so surely becoming the positive relief and subsequent cure .for this distressing ailment, I feel that I am always sure to satisfy and gratify my customers by recommending it to th :m. I write this to show how well the remedy is spoken of here." Kodol Dyspepsia Cure was discovered after years of scientific experiments and will cure all stomach troubles. Sold by H. F.

"The poor little mite died for lack of nourishment," said Dr. Jacob Glass, "and it was like losing one of fny own children, so deeply had I become interested in him. On Saturday the infant stopped taking the few drops of warm water which cou stunted nis meats, ana irum mat time grew weaker until he died. I tried to revive him but could not. "His mother is improving steadily and will be well in a few days. Tiny Tim's little body is still in the incubator in my offices." Seldom has greater interest been aroused in a baby's life. The child weighed just 12 ounces when born. Dr. Glass, the physician attending the mother, Mrs. Dora Falk, of No. 34 Eleventh street, at once removed the baby to his offices where an incubator was secured and an effort made to sustain life. The infant's little heart aud immature lungs were undeveloped and death was hard to ward off. Dr. Glass regards it as a triumph in the medical world that the baby was kept alive three days.?New York American.

Noonan, of Jersey City, was describing his experiences, while travelling across country to his mining property in Arizona and old how the party, while on one of the ledges of a canyon, descried three wild ducks waddling along shoulder to shoulder. "We'll have those for breakfast," said Joe Ray, a famous cracksman of the frontier, and Aquila Nebeker, president of the Utah State Senate, who is equally handy with a gun, seized his repeater to take aim at them. "You don't intend, to kill 'em one by one?" Ray objected. "Bring'em all down with one shot." Nebeker waited till all three necks were in one range and let fly. "And would you believe," Judge Noonan asked his friends "that he cut off all three hoads with one bullet ?" "Well," returned ex-Judge A1 Dayton hesitatingly, if you say so!" "Well," Noonan concluded, "I won't say it. This is a true story. He missed all thres."?New York Times. Kentucky's Powerful Parson. Senator Joe Blackburn, of Kentucky, tells of a good old Methodist minister in his State in the pioneer days, who was a considerable scrapper, says the Washington Times. "One day," says the senator, "after the I parson had found it necessary to admin ister fistic punishment to several young ; j toughs who persisted in disturbing the; i meeting at one of the churches which he , served, one of his flock, noted as being j something of a hard hitter himself, got 5 up in meeting and said: " 'It is a solemn duty of this here con- |' gregation to stand by Parson Johnson. He does not seek trouble, but he will not show the white feather when trouble is * forced in his way. I believe that, unrestrained by divine grace, Parson Johnson can whip any man in Kentucky. The ' Lord is with him. Let us pray.'" ' "I'm afraid, Johnny," said the Sunday 1 school teacher, rather sadly, "that I shall never meet you in the better land." 1 "Why?

Young Girl Relieved After Suffering for Four h Years With Lockjaw. Baltimore, Nov. 21.?After suffering for four years from the locking of her n jaws, Pauline Fineman, aged 6, has been v relieved after an operation performed by 5 Dr. E. G. Welch at the University of s Maryland* The child was not suffering a from lockjaw, but from anchylosis of the t joint. . fe The trouble was attributed to an ab- 1 3cess following vaccination, the deleteri- v ous matter having corroded the tissues g about the bone, causing the two bones to t unite until they became rigid. After hav- h ing been under special treatment for a month the child was put under an anaesthetic and an inch of the bone was chiselled away at the conjunction of the jawbone and the temporal bone. On the r following day the child was able to use t her jawbone without pain, but has been < fed with liquid nourishment. 1 Dr. Welch says the child is now able to leave the hospital, but he will keep her there for another week to look for any < possibility of trouble. During the four years her jaws were rigid the child was fed with liquid nourishment through an j opening made Dy tne Dreading or a tootn. | Shot for Alleged Insult. 1 Anderson, Nov. 18.?'Victor B. Chesh- ] ire, a well-known young man and a rural ! mail carrier on one of the routes leading ' out from the city, was shot in the face and ! painfully wounded this morning about 11 ] o'clock by Thomas King. The shooting < occurred on the public square when there 1 was a crowd on the site and caused a ] great deal of excitement. It seems that Cheshire was leaning < against a post on the square when King approached, but Cheshire did not see the i latter until he was upon him. As he turned King fired. The ball entered the left 1 cheek, ranging across and coming out on the right side under the eye. I. D. King, a brother of Thos. Kiug, then came up and threw a rock striking Cheshire on the body. Cheshire drew his pistol, but did 8 not fire. The cause of the difficulty as 8 alleged by the Kings was an insult said to have been offered by Cheshire to Mrs. j" King, their mother, a woman of 60 years. ^ This occurred several days ago and par- . ties on both sides have been trying to adjust the matter. Cheshire stoutly denied the charge. . , The sons did not hear of it until yesteriay and they came at once to the city in ? search of Cheshire. The Kings were admitted to bail this afternoon in the sum af ?500. a - F Down Below. ii Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, had 1 .U U. i; .. I U LliUUgUt UCC^iJ VU IfllV ll^UUl says a contemporary.
