rUny Orphans and Little Bread.
There are in the Thornwell Orphanage,
located at Clinton. S. C.,
340 orphan boys and girls, in process
of securing an education. These
boys and girls are of all ages from
six years of age to 17 or 18. The
older pupils by their zealous labors
help to support and care for- the
young, putting in each day four to
* * ? 1 1- i.L _
six nours 01 sieaay worx in uie snups
and farms and kitchen and about the
same time daily on their books. In
this way the cost of caring for the
whole family, is lessened by many
thousands of dollars. But the great
majority of the childreri are very
small, only a care instead of a help
and must be aided in eveiy way.
The support of these children rests
' upon good men and women who love
the orphans and freely aid them.
Just at present, there is special need
& of assistance and every gift be it
; of provisions or of money will be
promptly acknowledged. Every deV
. nomination in the State is represented
among the children, but the
institution is under Presbyterian
&C . control. All gifts should be sent to
Rev. Wm. P. Jacobs, Clinotn, S. C.

; " phanage, Clinton, S. C. It is sug% '
gested that in each community in the
State, some one undertake to raise
; / supplies for the aid of these children.

Death of Mr. E. M. Cox.
Mr. Elijah M. Cox, one of the
f v.. most highly respected citizens of
this community, died at his home on
the edge of town last Saturday evening.
He had not been confined to
his bed recently, and his death .was
a shock to the entire community.
Mr. Cox suffered a stroke of paralysis
a good many years ago, and the
second attack came about four years
since. The third attack, which
caused his death, dame Saturday
morning, shortly after he had eaten
^ a hearty breakfast and expressed
: himself as feeling a well as he had
in years. He never regained conf>v'
sdousness from this stroke and the
ena came several iiuurs inter.
The funeral services were held
Sunday afternoon, and the remains
; were interred at Springtown cemetery,
a few miles below town. Rev.
A. J. Foster, pastor of the Bamberg
Baptist church, conducted the services.
The pall bearers were: J. D.
Copeland, Sr., A. Rice, H. C. Folk, J.
T. O'Neal, A. E. H. Simmons, and J.
A. J. Rice.
Mr. Cox was born near his late
residence, and lived hefe all his life.
He had been a member of the Bamberg
Baptist church for many years,
and was noted for his uprightness
and fair dealings. He was a man of
strong character and prejudices, but
everybody knew him as a man whose
word was as good as his bond. He
attended strictly to his own business
and never took any interest in politics,
but he always stood ready to do
bus whole duty as he saw it.
Mr. Cox was a successful business
man. He farmed all of his life and
made money, leaving an estate worth
: something like $15,000 or $20,000.
He was about sixty years old.
TTp marnpH a sister of Clerk of
Court C.. B. Free, but no children
were born to them. The widow survives
him. He leaves two sisters:
! Mrs. J. D. Felder and Mrs. J. J. Sim
mons, as well as a number of other
relatives. C. B. Free's first wife
? was his sister.
Mr. Cox in his will left several
legacies to his nephews and nieces
a and to his adopted daughter, all of
> these being in cash, his farm and
' ether real estate being left to his
widow. He carried insurance of
; $4,000 on his life, and he also had
considerable cash money. But more
than all, he has left a good name
which is better than great riches,
and his many friends who knew him
well and respected him for his sterling
worth, will miss him sorely, as
will many others.

SLAIN FOR CUP OF WATER.
I
Desert Jury Justifies the Killing of an
Inhuman Hermit.
One man was recently killed and another
wounded over a canteen of \va- '
ter, and a desert jury held the sur- ,
vivors justified for their part in the
shooting.
Bill and Lynn Despain, prospecting ;
for placer gold in the Colorado desert, ]
became lost in the trackless sweep of !
sands. In their wanderings they came,
half crazed from thirst, upon a well 1
beside the adobe hut of Arthur Jones, 1
a grizzled hermit of the waste.
The Despains became nearly frantic ]
with joy, for the next watering place '
was a hard day's ride distant. But I
when they asked to fill a canteen
Jones refused. '
The prospectors began to draw water ,
from the well anyway, when Jones 1
opened fire on them from the door of ]
his adobe. Bill Despain fell with a *
bullet in his hip. j
I Before Jones could fire again Lynn ;
' Despain had shot hlsf" dead. Then
Despain dragged his brother into the 1
hut and went for help. Bill Despain j
will recover. '
Neither prospector was arrested 1
pending the decision of the coroner's j
jury exonerating them. '
BUFFALO LICKS A BULL t
j
Bison Bests Bovine Opponent Before ]
the "Smart Sat" of Juarez. j
For the first time in a bull ring a <
buffalo and a bull were pitted against j
each other in the Juarez arena, across i
the Rio Grande from El Paso, Tex. ]
The buffalo defeated the bull, and the ?
latter was driven from the ring. Both j
were badly battered. A picador nar- rowly
escaped being tossed on the
horns of the buffalo as he prodded
him with a pole. The buffalo turned
on the man and ran him across the 1
ring, hooking him just as his tormentor j
fell behind a guard. l
The buffalo was first turned into the t
ring, and when the bull entered he 1
made a dash for the buffalo and both <
locked horns. The fight was fast and j
furious for a few minutes and the anl- <
mals separated. Once the buffalo was \
staggered by the bull as they rushed
together. They clashed several timee \
until finally the bull became frighten- j
ediand refgped to fight i
Ten thousand people from all over j
the southwest witnessed the fight
<
BATHES FAMILY IN BEER. !
Wif. Objects to Husband's " 'Orrid ^
'Abit" and Gets a Divorce.
Principally because her husband had c
bathed her and her two children in J
cold beer and as a secondary reason al- "
leging that he threatened to kill her .
"when I get home" Mrs. Ellen Maher J
of Chicago applied for a divorce from j
her husband, Thomas Maher. She got
the divorce as well as an injunction J
restraining Thomas from Interfering s.
with her in any way whatsoever. L
It was not placed on record in the (
case that Mrs. Maher objected to beer .
if properly applied, but when used externally
in large quantities after she )
had retired for the night it was more J
!

than she could bear; also*it annoyed
her two boys, who were unaccustomed
to beer in any form.
The limit was reached, according to

for his work tamed to her and
pleasantly remarked :
"When I come back from work this
tvening I am going to kill you."
Mrs. Maher did not wait to see
whether or not he would make good
his word. She went to an attorney instead
and after talking the matter over
decided that a divorce was the beet
way out of her troubles.
Took Off Widow's Stockings.
Notwithstanding Mrs. Belinda J.
Stout made accusations against her
husband in a night session of the divorce
court before Judge Sturgis at
Hartford City, Ind., she was denied a
divorce.
Belinda alleged Jthat her husband,
William, brought Mandy Johnson, a
widow who lived on an adjoining
farm, to their home to stay all night
and that he removed her stockings and
was guilty of other foolish performances
in her presence. But even all
this did not seem sufficient in the mind
of the judge to give Mrs. Stout a separation.
nUCH TOO EXTRAVAGANT.
Comptroller Genera! Says Appropriations
Are in Excess of Income.
Comptroller General Jones declared
yesterday that as near as he can
figure it the appropriations this year
will exceed the income $180,444!
Had the levy been fixed at 5 mills
the appropriations would have been
$58,000 in excess of income, and a
levy of 51 mills would have left the
state but $7,046 over all expenses.
Mr. Jones figures that the appropriations
aggregate $1,454,229.79
and his figures are verified by calculations
made in the state treasurer's
office. In eight years the
appropriations have increased half a
million dollars in round numbers.
The income has increased, but not so
largely.
The taxable property of the state
is $249,500,000, which at 4J mills will
produce a revenue of $1,122,750; at
5 mills it would have been $1,247,000;
it 51 mills it would have been $1,309,875.
This is the ad valorem tax.
rhe indirect taxes amount to $151,100,
estimated. The total income
this year is $1,274,150 at a \\ mill
levy, while the expenses last year
vere $10,000 inexcess * of that 1
imount and to last year's expenses 1
lave been added $170,000.
Last year the Hampton monument
vas paid for, the Jamestown exposi- \
tion appropriation was made and the
general election expenses were met. <
None of these things is provided for
in the appropriation act this year. '
The increase has been general, all '
Uong the line. Mr. Jones' only fear (
s that he may be held responsible ,
because he did not give sufficient <
suggestion and advice to the general l

School Entertainment.
Washington's birthday was celebrated
in the White Point school, ?
Kearse section, by a school entertain- 3
nent in which the principal number <
vas a play by the pupils entitled J
'The Children s Crusade Against the <
Sultan of Sulkydom." The stage ef- J
:ects were good and the singing ex- <
lellent for the short time in which J
;he children were in training. <
Miss Boynto:\ accomplished !
eacher of the Camp Hill school, read
x pleasing essay on the life of Washngton,
which was instructive to old j
md young. (
One of the prettiest pictures of the j
jvening was the assembled school on
;he stage for the closing number,
'Dixie." Grouped around the Confederate
flag the pupils sang the old
var song with enthusiasm.
Mrs. Baker, who has charge of this
school, is a member of the State As
sociation for the improvement of
*ural schools, and the money obained
by this entertainment will be
spent for the improvement of the
louse and grounds, in accordance
vith the wishes of the patrons who
>o generously lent their aid, and of *
;he pupils who so nobly rose to the
>ccasion.
Arrangements are being made to ,
ake pictures of the pupils and stage j
vhich will be sent to the Jamestown
Exposition.
"The King be Hanged.*' t
That was a loyal if not very gentle (
mswer once made by a private sol- j
iier to Fredrick the great of Prus- J
iia. During a campaign in Silesia ,
;he king made it his habit to stroll ]
lis camp in disguise at night, to ^
tome into relations with his soldiers. ]
)ne night he was stopped by a sen- l
ry, but, giving the proper pass- {
vord, was permitted to proceed. In- '
ttead of doing so, however, he enleavored
to tempt the sentry into j
Lccepting a cigar, saying that a
inoke would solace his long watch.
"It is against the rules/' the sollier
said. 1
"But you have my permission," \
aid Fredrick. {
"Your permission!" cried the sol- <
lier. "And who are you?" i
"I am the king."
"The king be hanged!" said-the
ncorruptible sentry. "What would
ny captain say."
Beautiful weather we are having ]
iota, a decided improvement on the
yet, disagreeable days recently.
The Publisher's I
Claims^Sustained \
United States Court of Claims g
The Publishers of Webster's International t
Dictionary allege that it "is, in f act,the popular
Unabridged thoroughly re-edited in every
detail, and vastly enriched in every part, with I
the purpose of adapting it to meet the larger c
and severer requirements of another genera- ?
tion." ?
We are of the opinion that this allegation c
most clearly and accurately describes the J
work that nas been accomplished and the
result that has been reached. The Dictionary, _
as it now stands, baa been thoroughly re- ?
edited in every detail, has been corrected in
<??" an/1 fa a/1mimhlviukDted to meet
the larger and severer requirements of a t
generation which demands more of popular r
philological knowledge than any generation
that the world has ever contained.
It is perhaps needless to add that we refer
to the dictionary in our judicial work as of /
the highest authority in accuracy of deflni- '
tiqn: and that in the future as in the past it
will be the source of constant reference.
