We are rather of the opinion that
the, legislature made a mistake in
providing for an infirmary for Confederate
veterans in Columbia. These
old men we believe had rather be
taken care of at home.
?
.
Our legislative delegation should
oppose the proposition to raise the
salaries of auditors and treasurers so
far as it affects Bamberg. We are
not now in condition to raise salaries,
however much these officials may deserve
better pay. They have not asked
for it so far as we know, and besides,
to make these salaries $1,080 a
| year would be entirely out of proportion
to the amount paid other officials.
We understand that our county
t; supervisor considered the paragraph
1- - A 1_> 4.^
m last wee*. s paper m reierexiue tu
county expenses as being a reflectioiy
on his administration. Nothing of
the sort was in our mind, and the
article itself does not warrant any
such construction. In this connection
we may say in all sincerity that our
supervisor is a good man and a conscientious
official, who is not to be
blamed in any manner for the leaks
alluded to in county expenses^ They
g - are beyond his control, and can only
be Regulated by legislative enactment.
Serious Shooting Scrape.
Rock Hill, Feb. 10.?A shooting
P1 ^ scrape occurred last night about 10
rff- o'clock in a stable in west White
street, in which Tally Forth was seriously
and perhaps fatally wounded
, by a boy named Torrence Melton.
VnThe affair was t.hp niitnnm#* of a His
I pute over the hiring of a conveyance.
Melton fired only once, beingprevented
from firing again by the bystanders.
The bullet entered Forth'^ abdomen,
perforating the intestines in
? . two places, as disclosed by the operation
performed today at the Rock
v Hill hospital. The outcome can not
fi; as yet be predicted.
Melton was locked up by the police.
Negro Lynched.
Brookhaven, Miss., Feb. 10.?Eli
Pigot, the negro who criminally asJr
saulted Miss Williams, a young white
woman near here several weeks ago,
was taken from custody of the Jackson
military company and a posse of
deputies to-day and hanged from a
telegraph pole within less than a 100 :
yards of the court house. He was to
have been tried today for the crime. '
Hie military company and the police '
were overpowered by a mob of more
than 2,000 citizens. Several shots
were fired during the melee and two
members of the mob were wounded. :
The mob was repulsed at the first
j$.V attempt to capture the negro but
succeeded at the second.
"Night Riders" Destroy Tobacco. 1
Hopkinsville, Ky., February 9J
l^ight riders to the number of 150,
m&sked, heavily armed and wearing 1
the insignia of a secret clan, last 1
night invaded Fredonia, Crittenden
county, captured James Scarberry, j
operator of the Cumberland Tele- j
phone company, and cut out all tele- 1
phonic connections. They then forced ?
Davis Potter, a drug clerk, to open 1
his store, in which they imprisoned
several citizens.
Leaving a large guard in the town, J
the others galloped to View, five (
milks away, Mid blew up Alfred H.
Cardin's tobacco factory, containing 1
35,000 pounds of tobacco, and de- \
-j j ?M.1. ?.? r*?i 1
struytsu wiui me uoium o u<nn tvntaining
10,000 pounds of tobacco.
The damage aggregates $10,000 with J
half as much insurance. Cardin is (
buyer for Buckner & Dunkerson of 1
Louisville. Neither he nor his family
was at home. Firing volleys of shots
into the air, the nignt riders returned
through Fredonia and released
.../ their prisoners. N
xV Eighty per cent, of Crittenden
county farmers are members of the
Society of Equity, but Cardin is not
a member. He was formerly a candidate
for governor on the Populist
ticket.

a young white man about 27 years of
age, was arrested here today charged

Son Looks on Face of Father Whom
He Killed.
Jackson, Ky., Feb. S.-^each Harris,
who shot and killed his> father,
Judge James Hargis on Thursday,
was permitted today to stand by the
coffin and look at the face of the dead.
Turning away with smothered sobs,
the son knelt by the body and murmurhd:
"Lord, have mercy."
While he was kneeling, his mother
lame into the room and fell by his .
ride. They remained for only a short <
time, when the son returned to the
jail. He did not attend the funeral,
which was set for early afternoon.
Many friendsand relativesof Judge
Hargis came to Jackson for the
funeral. 'A large crowd from the
country also gathered here.
The funeral services took place in
the little family burial ground on the <
irown of a knoll, around which flows "
the north fork of the Kentucky river.
Nearby are the graves of Judge
Hargis' three brothers, all of whom
lied of bullet wounds inflicted hy
political enemies. 1
The casket of mahogany and steel,
with solid silver handles, had been
instructed for Judge Hargis recenty
on the judge's special order. The
xxly was taken across the bridge at *
the ' 'Town Bend'' of the river, placed i
ipon a push car on the tracks of the <
Lexington & Eastern railroad and J
taken for half a mile to the narrow <
?auge railroad of a lumber company, J
inhere it was placed on a similar car <
for a journey of a mile, where the ]
river was crossed on the' Tan Handle 4
side." Thence the body was carried J
ibout 300 yards to the grave. <
The attendants walked, forming a t
procession in the track behind the
jar. There is no hearse in the i
town. Neither is there a professional '
undertaker in the region.

FOUND ITS WAY BACK.
Note in a Bale of Cotton Sent Back
to the Writer.
!. Sometime last fall, Mr. G. F. Carson,
of the Fort Motte section, put
the following note in a bale of cotton
he was packing:
"This, cotton was made by G. F.
Carson, and he requests the manufacturer
to write him should he find
this address: G. F. Carson, Fort
Motte, S. C., U. S. A."
A short time ago Mr. Carson received
the piece of paper on which
he had writter his note back with the
following endorsement on it:
"This paper was found January 16,
1908, when the cotton bale was opened
in the cotton spinning mill of the
undernamed firm: G. Timmerman &
Werner, Baumwell-?kinnerei und
'Weberei, Rheine, Westphalia, North
Germany."
This little incident gives us an idea
of the importance of the cotton crop.

An Escaped Husband.
One day a tall, gaunt woman, with
rope colored hair and an expression
of great fierceness, strode into the office
of a county clerk in West Virginia,
"You air thejterson that keeps the
marriage books, ain't ye?" she de
| manded.
"What book do you wish to see,
; madam?" asked the polite clerk. v
"Kin you find out if Jim Jones' was
married?"
j Search of the records disclosed the
name of James Jones, for whose mar;
riage a license had been issued two
years before.
"Married Elizabeth Mott, didn't
he?" asked the woman.
"The license was issued for a marriage
with Miss Elizabeth Mott."
"Well, young man, J'm Elizabeth.
I thought I oughter come in an' tell
ye that Jim has escaped."?Harper's

Fanny Rice, who is famous among
her friends for her "coon" stories,
tells this one: "An old colored man
stole a pig and after getting home
with the animal knelt to pray before
retiring. His wife heard him praying
to the Lord to forgive him for stealing
the pig. She went to sleep with Uncle
Eph still praying. Later in the night
she woke up and saw her husband
still kneeling in praver. At daybreak
his supplications had not ceased.
"Eph, why don't you come to bed?"
asked his wife. "Let me 'lone, 'Riah.
