Death of W. S. Hogan, Sr.
Mr. W. S. Hogan, an old and respected
citizen and retired farmer of
Congaree, died this morning at his
home at that place at 2 o'clock of general
debility, due to old age. He was
eighty-one years of age and leaves a
widow and seven children and a host
of friends and relatives to mourn his
death.
His death was particulary sad as
today was the forty-sixth anniversary
of his wedding and if he had lived he
would have celebrated the day. He
was confined to his room for several
days and only one day to his bed,
death creeping upon him queitly.
Besides his widow, the following
children survive him: Messrs. S. S.
Hogan, of Congaree; W. S. Hogan,
of the Carlisle Fitting School at Bamberg;
L. D. Hogan and A. H. B. Ho?an,
of Congaree; Mesdames Tljos. P
Smith, J. C. Turner, Thos H. Suydam,
all of Congaree. The funeral serrices
will be held tomorrow.
The deceased is a native of Fairfield
county, but has been a resident of
Congaree for thirty years.?Columbia

Kohn's Big Sale.
On Saturday, June 1st, an immense
Mill-Factory Syndicate Salei
will be' inaugurated at Theodore
Kohn's, Orangeburg, S. C. Mr. Kohn
bas bought an immense stock of
white goods and dress goods direct
from the mills at much below factory
sost. These goods will be put on
3ale at extraordinary low prices, beginning
next Saturday.
It will pay anyone to attend this
sale, as goods will be sold at low
prices, which should be an extra inducement,
because goods are advancing
in price daily. As a further inducement
Mr. Kohn offers to pay reburn
railroad fare to all purchasing
over $25.00. The like of this sale
tias never been held in this part of
South Carolina.

LAUGHS EIGHT HOURS
New Jersey Girl Almost Killed by
t an Ancient Joke.
SAVED BY FALLING ASLEEP.
Keen Sense of Humor Proves Nearly
Fatal to Miss Barbara Barr, Who
Had Never Before Heard Jest Which
Made Solomon Smile.

the Baptist church choir, one of the
prettiest of the social set of Florence,
N. J., laughed for eight hours.
All kinds of things were tried to end
her cachinnatlons, but it took two doctors
six hours to 8top them.
This is the joke that set Miss Barr
into laughter that turned into hysterics:
"A man went to a dentist to have a
tooth pulled. It was pulled, and it

hurt. 'Oh, doctor,' said the patient,
*what a blessing it would be to be
born without teeth!"'
" 'But, my dear man,' said the dentist,
'we are, you know.'"
It was at 2 p. m. that this jest was
sprung. /
Immediately Miss Barr began to gfggle,
the giggle rapidly increasing Ih
strength.
After she had laughed five niiimt&s
the man who told the joke looked hurt
When she had laughed ten minutes
he fled In anger. But it was no joke
then to Miss Barr.
Her laughter could be heard for a
HLw*!r ah fHnris nf remedies were
tried. .
They threw water in her face, put
keys down her back, endeavored to
make her angry by insults bat still
she laughed.
Finally Dra. Thatcher and Boyd were
summoned when signs of collapse began
to be manifest.
They could do little. At 9 o'clock
Miss Barr was only semiconscious, but
still laughing. At 9:30 o'clock she was
supposed to be dying fron\ exhaustion.
Until 10 o'clock she continue4 to
laugh, and the physicians were desperate.
Finally, still laughing, she sank
Into a doze, and the spell of the joke
gradually passed away. When she
awoke she was In an extremely weakened
condition.
His Leg Afire.
Martin Janowitz's rheumatic leg was
a pillar of fire the other day, and for
the time being his rheumatism was a
forgotten thing. Janowitz is twentynine
years old. The climate of New
York city did not agree with him.
Soon after arriving in this country
rheumatism developed. Janowitz was
aroused from his slumber by pain in
his leg. He got a bottle of alcohol and
sat down near the stove to give his leg
a rub down. There he fell souhd
asleep, with his leg held out in front of
him like a poker. He sat bolt upright,

| the fumes of the alcohol had caught
fire and communicated the blaze to his
leg. Temporarily at least Janowttz
was robbed of his rheumatism, but the
pain of the burns which came In Its
place were quite as bad, and he was
taken to Gouverneur hospital for relief.
Snake In His Mail flox.
A real live rattlesnake found in a
rural mail box on a farm near Canton,
Mo., has kept St. Louis postofflce inspectors
busy for the better part of a
year, all to the end that Inspector
Patterson recently applied to Assistant
United States District Attorney
Horace Dyer for a "warrant"?any
kind of a warrant or Information Dyer
might see fit to issue. Mr. Dyer decided
that as the cause of all the trouble
had long since departed this life
there was "nothing doing." The inspector
