Not Dividing Eternity.
J * On one occasion, when in congress,
General Benjamin F. Butler rose in
JS ~his place and intimated tht the memf
' ber who occupied the floor was trans.
gressing the limits of debate.
"Why, General," said the member,
reproachfully,' 'you dividedyour time

I "I know I did," rejoined Butler,
fc grimly, "but I didn't divide eternity
V with you."
JEALOUS OF HIS DIGNITY.
Colleton Magistrate Imposes Heavy
Fines for Contempt of Court.
It appears that Magistrate D. H.
Towles, of Meggetts, is having some
trouble in connection with his office.
It seems that on the 6th of March
Magistrate Towles sentenced one Doc
Smalls, a negro, to pay a fine of $10
for alleged failure to work on a public
highway in 1907. Smalls is employed
by M. L. Grimes, a truck farmer
of Meggetts. Mr. Grimes went to
Magistrate Towles and requested that
the amount of the fine be reduced, or
that the negro be given a trial. It
seems that Mr. Grimes was insistent
/vr> -f-l-oo anri Mnoristratft Towles. be
V/U 1/1AXW7} V?*4V% A1AMQ.V*. ,
coming angry, ruled him for contempt
of court, and fined him $100
or thirty days in jail. Upon failure
to pay the fine Mr. Grimes was arrested
and sent to jailSaturday, where
he remained until Monday morning,
when he was released. He had
Sreviously, however, been fined by
lagistrate Towles on two additional
counts $100.00 each, or ten days in
jail, making a total of $300.00 or 50
days.
Mr. Grimes claims that no court
was being held and that he was not,
therefore, in contempt of court; that
he was not insulting in his manner to
the magistrate.
Some interesting developments will
probably follow, as Mr. Grimes claims
that Magistrate Towles has exceeded
his authority and that he does not
propose to be treated in this way.
Magistrate iowies aamiis Demg m
error in that he had no authority to
impose so large a fine or so long a
term in prison. The developments
will be watched with interest.
Hon. James E. Peurifoy has been
retained as counsel for Mr. Grimes.?

Will Ask Pritchard to Revoke.
- Columbia, /March >19.?Attorney
General J. Frazier Lyon, representing
the State of South Carolina, and
W. F. Stevenson, for the dispensary
commission, today served notice on
the attorneys representing thevarious
liquor houses having claims agaihst
this state for whiskey and other supplies,
that on March 27th they would
appear before Judge Pritjchard at
Asheville and move that his former
order naming receivers for the state
dispensary funds be revoked.
The motion will be based upon the
recent. decision of the state supreme
court in which the attorney general
and the commission were sustained
in their contention that the federal
court is without jurisdiction to appoint
receivers for a state fund, it
being regarded as an encroachment
upon the state sovereignty.
Shock Causes Death.
Anderson, March 17.?Yesterday
afternoon the 1-year-old child of Joe
Sayle, colored, who lives in Dunkin
township, Greenville county, fell into
a tub half filled with water and was
drowned. The mother had left the
child alone while she was attending
to some duties around the house, and
while she was away the child fell into
the tub.
. The news quickly spread, and a
number of the neighbors gathered,
among them Joe Jordan, the 18-yearold
son of Mr. J. B. Jordan, a prominent
farmer of the vicinity.1 Young
Jordan walked up to the tub in which
the child had been drowned, looked
at it for a moment, and dropped dead.

manner when a child, and has had a
weak heart ever since. It is supposed
that the young man's recollection of
this, together with the shock of the
negro child's death, caused heart failure.
\
Boy Killed by Trolley.
Aiken, March 17.?A young boy
named Dean was killed today by the
Augusta-Aiken express car between
Langley and Warrenville. It is stated
that young Dean left home this morning
presumably for school, but instead
he went to Langley and when
the trolley express, which is due in
Aiken at 12 o'clock, passed through
that place Dean went underneath the
car and located himself on the rods.
When the car was between Langley
and Warrenville he in some way lost
his hold and fell off and was literally
torn to pieces underneath the car.
Coroner Owens was notified and is
now at the scene holding the inquest.
All Feet Looked Alike.
A young married couple were re
turning irum uieir iiunc.yxiiuuii uiip
on a sleeping car. During the night
when the train was running slowly
over some still, mountainous country,
a soft feminine voice told John that
she wanted a drink of water.
''All right, dear." replied John.
"The cooler is only a step down the
aisle."
"But how shall I know which berth
is ours when I come back?" she asked
timidly.
"I will stick my foot out in the
aisle," said John, "then you can't
miss it."
When she came back there was a
large-sized foot sticking out of every
berth in the aisle.

Ehrhardt Etchings.
Ehrhardt, March 23.?The cold
wave reached us on Friday, and is
still with us. Rain has also come.
The earth was needing a sprinkle;
was very dusty before the rain.
About seventy-five bales of cotton
were marketed here last week at
shout 11 cents Der Dound. There is
a few more bales held back by our
farmers. Most of them could have
sold for more money, but were holding
for higher prices contended for
by the cotton growers.
Several of our farmers have planted
com. Some coming up, but if
this cold wave gets hold of it, they
will have to plant again. v
Nearly every one went out of town
Sunday. Some to church, other's
visiting relatives and friends. Our
little town was lonesome all day.
Last week our freight train was
late on account of a poor engine to
pull them. A better one is promised
to the crew to-day.
Mr. C. D. Yarborough was in town
last week looking up timber for some
trestle and platform repairs. So
many saw mills have shut down
that suitable timber is hard to get
now.
Mr. Walter Pringle, of Charleston,"
was in town last week hunting business
for his various firms. Says he
likes the looks of our little town.
Mrs. Lizzie Lane, of Fairfax, spent
Saturday with her brother, Mr. Phil
Padgett.
Miss Etta Copeland spent Saturdnv
and narfc of Sundav with her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. C. CopeIan^
She is teaching school at Fairfax.
A mad dog went through this section
and bit several dogs, some few
in town. Our council should be very
strict about dogs running at large on
our streets, as so many of our children
are always playing about on the
streets. When the dog comes it is
too late then to try to protect our
little ones. Just last week a bright
little boy was bitten in Newberry
and went mad. Nothing was left un-;
done to relieve the child, but death
1 N
resulted.
Booze was in good demand Saturday
afternoon, or at least its effects
were perceptible on several parties.

The Herald's New Building.
Our new building is nearing com-i
pletion at last, and we hope to move
into it in about two weeks. It has
taken a lot of time and trouble, and
we have not paid as much attention |
to the newspaper recently as we
should. But in a few weeks more we
hope to be in our new quarters,
where we will be better prepared to
serve you than ever. We cannot invite
you to come and see us yet, but
when we move due notice will" be
given, and we want all our friends to
come in and see whether they like the
way we are fixed up or not.
Hair Helped Save Her Life.
Roanoke, Va., March 20.?The
luxuriant hair.of Mrs. Gordon Kirby
of Snowville, Roanoke county, saved
hntVi hprsplf and a man who had
plunged in to rescue her from drowning.
Gracie Kirby, the eight-yearolddaughterof
Mrs. Kirby. had fallen
into a mill race near her home. Mrs.
Kirby left her sick bed and jumped
into the icy stream in an effort to
save the little girl.
W. T. Tigleman, whp was crossing
a bridge, saw their predicament and
plunged inte the creek to the mother 's
rescue. Both the woman and man
were about to be drowned when John
Craft got a long pole and succeeded
in twisting the end into Mrs. Kirby's
hair. He gradually drew this in and
landed Mrs. Kirby with the man
clinging to her. Tigleman had found
it beyond his strength to draw the
woman to safety in the swift water.
South Carolina MIUs Curtail.
Greenville, March 18.?At a conference
of the South Carolina Cotton
Manufacturers' association h6re today
it was unanimously decided to
continue as far as practicable the
curtailment of 25 per cent, in the
production of cotton goods during
the three months beginning April 1.
This action continues a curtailment
that has been in operation by the
mills of this State since Jan. 1. The
number of spindles rejfresented at
the conference today was 2,250,000
out of a total of 3,250,000 in operation
in South Carolina. The continu
ed depression of the cotton goods
market is responsible for the action
of the spinners.
Dies from Mad Dog's Bite.
Newberry, March 17.?The 6-yearold
son of F. J. Russell, who was bitten
by a mad dog on the streets of
Newberry on February 26, died at
3:30 today at the Pasteur institute at
Atlanta. It was thought that the
child was getting along well until on
Saturday hydrophobia developed.
KILL NG IN LAURENS.
Sam Cleaton, Colored, Shot Dead by
Another Negro.
Laurens, March 22.?Sam Cleaton,
a negro, was shot to death last night
after midnight by Albert Boyd, also
colored. The killing occurred on Mr.
Nathaniel Austin's place about five
miles from this city. It seems that
the negroes were having a party of
some kind when a row began between
Boyd and some other negroes, Cleaton
being among them. Boyd became
angry and went home for his
gun. Returning he leveled the weapon

his life. A third negro stepped in
between Boyd and Cleaton, hoping to
save the latter's life. When he saw
that Boyd was determined to fire -he
stepped out of the way and Boyd
shot, Cleaton falling dead with a
terrible wound in his chest. Not
satisfied with this, Boyd, it is said,
beat the dead negro with his gun till
the weapori was broken to pieces.
Efforts have been made to-day to apprehend
Boyd and this afternoon
Coroner Watts held the inquest over
Cleaton.
Springtime at Kearse.
Kearse, Mar^h 20.?The springlike
weather has changed the face of
nature down here. Old brindle can
now get a full feed of delicious and
tender grass, and as she rests in
peace and a full stomach she brings
a long-drawn breath of satisfaction,
after the hardships of winter.
The long sleep of winter that overcomes
the reptile family has ended.
I saw a large fine lizzard asleep,

him; he only opened his eyes, closed

The snakes are on the go, and Sam,
the gopher, comes out of his hole to
enjoy the scene and sunshine around
him. He has his hole under the
flower garden fence, and he comes
among the violets and the phlox, with
now and then a hyacinth or'jonquil,
with a little pansy looking up so innocent
and sweet, and the wistaria
in festoons of beauty, with the peach
and apple blooming near by, makes
even a gopher glad that he lives.
This is March 19th. Will it be so
always, with no^nore cold? I f^ar
not.
March 20th. What a change?cold
and cloudy. I saw only one little
black ant that had ventured out. He
seemed to be so cheerless I gave him
a crumb of bread. He went up to it
gave a pull, turned his hold loose,
went to it again, gave another hard
and long pull, thought it too much,
climbed over it a time or two, found
it more than he could move, went off
to his home for help I suppose. Waited
to see if he and his help would
come back, but they did not come,
waiting for a better day.
Farmers are well up with their
work. Some have planted corn, but
most farmers remejnber last March
and April and are not in so big a
hurry this time.

Conductor Killed.
Columbia, March 19.?Conductor
C. A. Neal of the street railway died
early this morning as a result of injuries
received last night while on
duty.
He was standing on the running
board of an incoming Ridgewood car
when an outcoming Elmwood car
passed near the postoffice and the
Elmwood oar struck his head, making
a long gash across his face. It is said |
he had been warned about riding on
running boards.
The body will be taken to Johnston

Family Row Causes Death.
Greenville, March 18.?John
Fowler, a white farmer living near
this city, was shot and instantly killed
by Ben McAbee, a distant relative
of his, who lived in the same house
with him. It seems that the killing
resulted from a quarrel between McAbee
and his wife, for which he
blamed Fowler. McAbee is lodged
in the county jail.

SHOOTING OF JUDGE BUCHANAN. '
Fatal Bullet Fired, it is Said, by One ~ ^
of Two Small Boys at a Target.
Columbia, March 21.?Capt. H. A.
Williams, superintendent of the
Southerft Railway, Columbia division,
stated to-night that he had received
a report of the shooting of Judge ;
Buchanan, which occurred on the
Southern train from Columbia to
Augusta last Monday afternoon, and
that it was practically certain that
the shot which caused the death of
Judge Buchanan was fired by one of .
two boys, who were known to be ^
shooting at a target near Ward's
station that afternoon, although the
boys deny that they fired at the
exact time the train passed that
point. However, it is established ac- ;
cording to this report, that two boys
were shooting at a target with a parlor
rifle, carrying a 22-caIibre bullet,
on that afternoon, but as it was evidently
purely accidental if they did
fire the fatal shot, Capt. Williams
said he had acceded to the request
made of him, and would not make
public the names of the two boys,
who are only 9 and 11 years of age.
They were said to be aiming at a target
about one hundred yards from
the place where the train passed. Of ' -WM
course if any official inquiry is made :\"s
their names will be given to the
proper authorities. >
So far there has been no intimation
of any official inquiry and it is not
likely that anything will be done in
the matter, especially in view of the ^ tender
age of the boys. However,
there has been some curiosity as to ; ?
why no inquest was held. The shot
was fired in South Carolina and the
death of Judge Buchanan occurred
in Georgia, which fact may cause it.
some complication as to the respon- ' .
sibility for an inquiry. 1
The Dispensaries Opened. i '
The dispensaries in Calhoun coun- i
ty were closed Monday by order of
Governor Ansel, who took the position
that there is no provision of law
for their operation as dispensaries in
Calhoun county, and in the absence ;
of any express authorization for their kM /
continuance Governor Ansel takes
the position that they should be y-'-jjH ,
closed and he so notified the Orange- ^
burg county board. The matter was 'I
taken before the Supreme Court who ': fi'Jg
ordered the dispensaries opened, and
they are riinning full blast until the , -i&
matter can be settled. > /
