Thursday, Sept. 20,1906 * . , Now that the primaries are over, let us take up the matter of erecting a cotton ? warehouse. The enterprise is badly needed here now, and would pay well. Our business men are standing in their own light, for cotton should not be forced } on the market at present prices. Let's get to work at once on the project. In the State Senate the candidates for clerk are Gen. R. R. Hemphill, of Abbeville, and Ed. H DeCamp, of Gaffney, both newspaper men. We like the General fine, but he ought to pass the thing around among the newspaper boys. Rotation in office was one of the foundations of the "reform" movement and the Gener- i Rj?, al is a true blue "reformer." Candidates for positions in the legisla- . ture are coming out. Those announced for speaker so far are: J. G. Richards, of . ' Kershaw; F. B. Gary, of Abbeville; D. D. j McColl, Jr., of Marlboro; R. S. Whaley, ?V- . of Charleston; E. M. Rucker, Jr., of An- 1 I," derson; J. W. Nash, of Spartanburg. T. C. . Hamer, of Marlboro, wants to be clerk of V/iVnnco onoin TTo Viplrl thp nnsi? it 11^ i'UUOV UuUlU. mmv r , tion for several years. J. W. Mitchell, of Leesville, the young 1 white man who shot and killed his ! friend, James Trotter, at the union depot in Columbia during fair week of last ^ year, was tried for the crime in Columbia ^ last week and acquitted. He was found 1 ; * guilty of carrying an unlawful pistol and uh ' fined $100, which was paid. So it is a greater crime in South Carolina to carry ( r- ? a pistol than it is to kill a man. y.

If the girl display any signs of nervousness, do your best to soothe her. There are a number of ways to do this. Take her hand in yours and pat it gently. Speak to her in a low, soft tone. If absolutely necessary place her head upon |c your shoulder and count one hundred. If not effective, repeat in one minute. If Now she may take the wheel, advance jrh.' the sparker and throw in the clutch. It A will then be your turn to grow nervous. "While the girl is clutching the machine you clutch the girl. It will then be time to rest. This should not take any longer than the rest of the afternoon. By the time you have got so you can kiss the girl without getting nervous, she ought to be able to run the machine.? Tom Masson in the October Delineator. As to Ladies and Gentlemen. "It's a fine thing to be a lady, or a gentleman," said the bookkeeper. "What's your idea of a gentleman?" inquired the stenographer. "A man that's clean inside and out; who neither looks up to. the rich nor down on the poor; who can lose without squealing and who can win without bragging; who is considerate of women, 5 children and old people; who is too brave to lie, to generous to cheat, and who takes his share of the world and lets other people have theirs." "And what does it take to make a lady?" asked the stenographer. "A perfect lady is a woman who can , hear a choice piece of scandal about her ( i * dearest enemy and then forget it," ans- . wered the bookkeeper. "Huh!" cried the stenographer. ."That kind of a woman wouldn't be a lady, she'd be in an asylum for the dumb." ? ? Young Man Drowned. Uxion, Sept. 12.?A special from Lockhart says that about 3 o'clock this afternoon, S. C. McMillan, employed by the General Fire Extinguisher company, v ' headquarters at Charlotte, was drowned in Broad river while bathing with some , companions. It appears he was seized with cramp and before any one i%alized ? his condition he sank and when the body was recovered it was too late for him to be revived. He had been working there , two weeks in the new mill. Little is i known of him except that he was a member of the Red Men, Tribe No. 42, at Spar- ( tanburg, and Odd Fellows lodge at Gas- , Xonia. All efforts to find his family or i relatives have up to a late hour proved unsuccessful and he will be buried at ( Lockhart if they cannot be located soon. 1 '/ "... % '"v i v < . : *>. r , - \ . BRIDE'S FEET TOO BIG. Wedding Must Wait While Number Eleven Shoes are Made, Miller, S. D., September 12.?Gardner Brothers, merchants of Ree Heights, may delay a 'wedding because they are unable to supply the prospective bride with shoes large enough to fit her feet. The size required is No. 11, double E, and there is none in the town. They sent in a rush order to a shoe manufacturer of St. Paul and he could not fill it, but he wrote the Ree Heights firm this letter: "Yours of the 30th. ordering one pair of lady's shoes, stock S,549, size 11, double E, at hand. We are not positive whether the size given was correct or not, as the same is very unusual. If this size is cor -' - -1 ill 1 . ~ ,1 ? reel me snues win nave iu uc m?uc uvu a man's last.

Columbia, Sept, 12.?Senator Tillman, who is here today on his way to Charlotte to deliver a lecture, says the election of Ansel and Lyon by heavy majorities means nothing significant against the State dispensary, that the dispensary peoV*o?TA eofn in KaIIi Vivon/-?V?AC ['lo 4UITV >3?iV UiajV&XOXbO 1U WKU UiOUVUW of the legislature and that that body will pass a purification bill. "They have enough to clean out the dispensary, fortify it against graft and put it on its feet again" said the senator. "Governors nor attorney generals don't make laws. All the people spoke in the election for the legislature and we've got the coon and gone on. We will see what Ansel cioes toward enforcing our new dispensary law, and how many grafters Lyon will put in the penitentiary." Tillman bragged about the fact that four thousand less scratched him this time than four pears ago. CRAZY NEGROES NEAR ANDERSON. One Shot to Death and Three Arrested Near Pied* mont?Crazed With Religious Frenzy. Anderson, Sept. 14.?As a result of the iisturbance near Piedmont last night, caused by negroes who were crazed with religion, one negro is dead and three others were lodged in jail here this afternoon. Two of them have been examined for lunacy and will probably be sent to the asylum. They are undoubtedly crazy with religious frenzy, having been in attendance at the meetings of their 3ect for several weeks. They talk irrationally and imagine they are idol-breakers, having destroyed much valuable property in their houses, such as pictures, ? -t - -i j ??: l : ...... mirrors, mucus auu musical luauuuicuts. One of those in jail is quite seriously bounded and has three bullets in his body. The dead negro is said to have been a negro of prominence and worth several thousand dollars. Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Long, who were attacked by the negroes, are both quite badly hurt, having been assailed with rocks. Dr. Tripp, who was shot in the capture of the negroes, is seriously wounded but will recover. It is said that he was shot by one of his own party by mistake. He was wounded in the breast. The negroes, it seems, started out on a regular rampage and first attacked a house xfcupied by their own race. They struck ;error to the hearts of the inmates and ;hey fled. Then they proceeded to the louse of Mr. Long, who is a prominent ntizen of that section. They assailed Mr. ! md Mrs. Long with rocks and wounded hem badly. As soon as the report of the outrage vent out a crowd gathered to begin a lunt for the negroes. They were surround ;d in-a house, and after several shots were ired by both sides, they were captured. It vas in this skirmish with the negroes that Dr. Tripp and the negroes were wounded. The one who died was named Reed and le was very badly shot up. The two who lave been examined for lunacy are Wil iam and Elzy Anderson, uncle and jephew. Deputy Sheriff Scott, who made the irrests of the negroes, reports that the louse in which the men were captured rcas a comp.ete wreck, as far as the furnishings were concerned. Nearly every irticle of household adornment was broken into pieces, the negroes claiming^hat such things were idols and should be destroyed. They claim that there must be a revolution among the people and that they must change their manners. It is plainly a case of religious fanaticism carried to an alarming extent, and it is something out of the ordinary in this State. It is to oe regretted tnat me occurrence was of such a serious nature before the negroes were apprehended. Tyner's Dyspepsia Remedy a Guaranteed Cure.

MULES PULL AN ELEPHANT'S TOOTH Extraordinary Dental Operation Relieves Suffering of Circus* Monumental Pet Two mule3 did some effective dentistry in the mouth of Brazil, an elephant, on the railroad line to Columbus, near Lexington, Ky. The mules were called in after a regular dentist, assisted by a veterinarian and two circus hands, had signally failed to relieve the elephant of a severe attack of toothache. Brazil stands twelve feet high and is the prize pachyderm of a circus which was on the way from Lexington to Columbus when Brazil began to thrash around the car. One side of the carj was shattered before the fury of the elephant was discovered and the train brought to a standstill. A diagnosis was quickly and easily made. When the keeper approached, 1 ' V . / ? > ? *? 1 V ' ; / v-% / thb paemzb said "git apP Brazil threw up her trunk and opened her month, and the man. slipping his bead into the opening, saw a big cavity In a tooth. Brazil was roped and thrown on her side. A dentist from a nearby town volunteered to pull the tooth, and the circus folk went into Mnks while be tried his hand with bis Dwn little instruments. The circus veterinarian then brought forth a huge pair of forceps, and two men laid hold 3f each handle. The tooth stuck fast, and the men were in despair when an Dnlooking farmer remarked he had a pair of "hefty mules." "Where are they?" asked the veterinarian, and the farmer pointed to a team of promising looking long eared bays in the road. Forthwith work began for the great operation. Stakes were driven into the ground to brace the elephant's head. A block and tackle were attached to the giant forceps, and when the veterinarian shouted "AH ready!" the farmer said "Git ip!" There was a terrific straining for a few minutes; then the mules stumbled forward as the tooth suddenly came forth. Brazil wore a sub- = iued but contented look after the operation and went quietly back to her car. HID NEGRO IN A COFFIN I Kentucky Police Save Black Miscreant From Mob's Wrath by = Novel Rose. The lynching of a negro fiend who issaulted Miss Ethel McLane, a pretty poung telephone girt, while she was on ier way home from work at Mayfield, Ky., was prevented only by the police jetting the negro oat of town in a coffin. When found unconscious, Miss McLane bad in her hand the negro's collar, which she bad torn from his neck, [t bore the name of Allen Mathis, and when Miss McLane had been taken 10me the whole town turned out after i negro bearing the name. He was irrested near the jaiL His collar was gone, his face badly scratched, and one ?ye was gouged almost out He confessed. While the telephone in the feil was constantly ringing to know if any trace of him had been found the jail officers placed the negro in a coffin intended for a white prisoner who had lied during the morning and hustled ilm off to the depot and landed him safely in the jail at Paducah.
