Thursday, Nov. 16,1905 S5SS City council did a good thing when they drew a tight rein on the habit oi keeping stores open and selling on Sunday. This state of affairs had gotten entirely too common here. I#: ? * Our information is that the people oi ; Marion county are hot so well pleased a? they imagined they would be after the dispensary was voted out. Well, if they are not satisfied, they can vote it iu again, hut we hardly think they will do this. ^ ^ The Lucas faction in the Laurens cotp ton mill fight made a proposition to the Xilliken interests to buy or sell stock at I a stated price; that is, they would sell their stock at the price of $170 a share or buy the Milliken stock at the same figure, an eminently fair proposition. This offer the Milliken side refused, but offered to buy stock at $160 a share. There is unfortunately no law to compel them to deal them fairly in this matter, but there should be, and the legislature should pass such a bill at its next session. There is no telling when there will be a repetition of this state of affairs in South Carolina Th&nkftgiYing Joys. The Almighty Father has blessed our ; Southland, bountifully this season. Our fields have yielded their increase. Cotton is King once more, and is doing his best to make the land smile under his 4V beneficent reign. Let us be glad. And rejoicing ourselves, do not let us forget the hundreds of fatherless little children gathered into our Orphanages. Let us make this year the best they ever bad. Send good stores of corn, flour, meat, 4 tyrup, eggs, and butter. >? SeDd money, that answereth all things, In our own plenty, do not let us forget I to spyead the table or tnose wno uave Sfe" -if nothing. Sry It was Job who said: "If I have eaten i|%- - my morsel, myself alone and the Fatherless have not eaten thereof, then let mine arm fall from the shoulder blade and mine arm be broken from the bene." Rural Mail Routes in South Carolina. jSkk;; On account of the efforts the people of South Carolina living in the rural districts have been making to get better mail facilities, and owing to the good work of her several representatives in congress, there are at this time in the State 516 free delivery routes. During the year there have been presented to the postoffice department 1,160 petitions H for routes in different parts of the State and of these 501 were adversely reported for one reason or another. On June 30, > ? - 1905 there were in operation in this State 476 routes, and, as stated, there are now in operation 516?an increase of fortytwo since the first of July. There are now pending before the de^ partment 143 petitions asking that addi?$ !"' tional routes be established in South Carafe' ollna. Considering the short time in which free routes have been in operation, the number which South Carolina now has |& speaks well for the people of the State. The showing made by South Carolina compares favorably with that of many other sections of the country. ! < The Newspaper and its Community. Speaking of what a newspaper does .. for a community, U. S. Senator David Davis of, Illinois, made an address that remains ever green in the memories of newspaper men. He said: "Every year every local newspaper gives from 500 to 5,000 free lines for the benefit of the community in which it is located. No other ^ ? agency can or will do this. The editor in proportion to his means does more for his town than any other man. He ought to be supported not because you happen to like him or admire his writings, but because a local paper is the best investment a community can make. .It may not be crowded with great thought, but financially it is of more benefit than both preacher and teacher. Today editors do more work for less pay than any men on earth. Patronize your home paper, not as a charity, but as an investment." "I Am a Pessimist". A man who lives in Waterbury, Conn., says an exchange, is the head of a large family almost every member of which performs upon some kind of musical instrument. A Bostonian who was visitiDg the house of the Waterbury man referred to this fact, remarking that it must be a source of great pleasure to the family, but to this observation the father made no reply. 'Really," continued the Bostonian, "it is remarkable. Tour younger son is a cornetist, both your daughters are pianists, your wife is a violinist, and I understand, the others are also musicians Now, what are you, the father of such a combination?" "I, replied the old man, sarcastically "I am a pessimist." i'r: | Notice of Final Discharge I Notice is hereby given that I will : apply to Geo. P.

HU Captore Had a 2)?pirate Struggle Tiqfore He Woe Subdued and tUtted. While their frail boat spun round and round in a churning vortex of foam, in a shower of bloody spray and with the grip of deadly fear In their hearts, Angelo Cargnita and Battlsto Ghlto, two Italian fishermen, fought the fight of their lives with a huge man eating 'I jk \ J MH I I I '^t^k *^0 '<y''Jr^r tJBMM IK A BLIND FUBY THE MAN EATER DARTED Wllil urjm 4AW3 ALAAAia ion n reran. shark that battled in the tangle of their nets off Bolinas bay, says the San Francisco Examiner. Armed only with their heavy boathooks, the imperiled men swayed and staggered and struck and stabbed for an hour. Ghito and Cargnlta had set their nets, each nearly fifty fathoms long, = after dark on a Sunday night At daybreak they rowed out to gather in their haul. The first net they found torn to ravelings, and so of course emptied of its catch. The second net, apparently full of fish, became unusually hard to handle before it had been half drawn up. The end pulled in was then made fast to a thwart, and the boat was taken round to the end which was still submerged. This second end had been no sooner seized than it was torn from the fishermen's hands, and in another instant the two men were gazing goggle eyed at a great shark which shot up beside them wrapped in the net*s mesh. Ghito, realizing that in this apparition lay the secret of the first net*s de- _ struction and the loss of the whole nighfs catch, angrily caught up one of the boathooks lying in the bottom of the boat and brought it crashing down upon the shark's head. With one tremendous flop, either of rage or pain, the slimy poacher struck the boat's prow with his tail. The boat whirled flhont like a toD. Ghito. with a cry of terror, was jerked from his feet and fell backward across the gunwale, almost toppling Into the sea and the red death that there awaited him. Cargnita, who, being on his knees, had better kept his balance, pulled his mate back to safety with one hand and with the other buried the steely harpoon-like end of the other boathook into the white belly which had been = turned skyward in anticipation of prey. Again the shark plunged mightily; again the boat rocked and spun; again the two desperate fishermen clung to whatever would keep them from going overboard. 1 As the end of the boathook left the shark's flesh blood spurted after it and the spray cast aloft by the thrashing tall suddenly turned crimson. In a blind fury the man eater once more displayed his loathsome belly and darted with open jaws beneath the keel. Then, even as the boat careened In the grip of those powerful teeth, Cargnita stabbed and Ghito clubbed more murderously than before. In this way, with give and take, with life always in the scales, with victory flraf for the fishermen and then for the frenzied thing they strove to kill, the battle continued for one long, wild, exhausting hour. , But In the end the shark was mastered, bleed- J Ing from a hundred gaping wounds and robbed of free movement by the long streamers of the torn net which wrapped him round. So, with a rope about i his head, he was brought to Fisher- J men's wharf, where he died. The shark was one of the true man eating variety, the isurid, with teeth three inches In diameter at the top. / He was eleven feet long and weighed 1,000 pounds, and when he was cut 2 open his captors found in his stomach 800 pounds of sea bass. He was cut up for the medical exigencies of Chinatown. . 1 Hats! Hats r!i We have the nobbiest lii & have ever handled. Me fia may both be suited. Gi ?
