Ott> INKTAX POTTERY!
Interesting Relic Discovered Near
Anderson in Savannah River.
v
Anderson, Sept. 25.?There is on
exhibition at the jewelry store of
John M. Hubbard & Co., a curious
piece of pottery found ten miles below
Calhoun Falls the other day, and
supposed to be an Indian relic which
came from the great mound on the
Savannah river a few miles below
the town.
During the recent freshet the
waters of the Savannah attained such
a height that the great mound was
completely demolished and the
ground round about left as level as
before the buiding was begun, probably
hundreds of years ago.
Since the great hill of relics has
been destroyed all kinds of articles
have been found along the banks of
the river, miles below where the
mound once stood. Pottery of various
designs, tomahawks in great
number, arrow heads, beads and many
, other curios have been pickedd up.
The piece of pottery on vexhibition
here is a perfect specimen. It was
found by Mr. W. L. Miller about ten
miles below the Calhoun Falls and
hrmifrht here bv Mr. Calhoun Harris,
who secured it from Mr. filler. Various
theories have been advanced as
to What use the pottery was intended,
, and since people are inclined to believe
it was made by a people who
lived before the Indians.
-Several years ago members of the
government ethnological survey visited
the mound just below Calhojin
. Falls and made an exhaustive examination,
digging into it and taking out
%: many aftides buried away. A report
was made of the result of the search,
^ ivr. but there has always been a question
as to whether the mound was the
work of Indians or was built by a
rate of people who lived in the coun||
/ try before the time of tfce Red Man.
A point raised which shakes the belief
that the Indians did the work is
y the size of the mound. It was of huge
dimensions, covering about three
V. ; acres and being 100 feet high. The
Indians were opposed to manual labor,
and much* work was necessary
and time consumed in the building
of a hill this size. The relics found
support the Indian belief, but the
work done points to the efforts or another
race.
Jnst across the Savannah river
gp^>. * from where the mound was located
i * in the bottoms, there is a great hole
where thousands of tons of earth
seem to have been taken out, and it
...? is a legend that the mound was built
qt earth taken from this excavation
p v and hauled across the river in boats
||to the scene of the building.

Norfolk, Va., September 24.?A
monstrous sea-cow, or ' manatee,!
Pjx- ' weighing 1,200 pounds, was captured1
in Chespeake Bay yesterday after-j

six men participated.

Divine Inspiration.
Effie, the little daughter of a clergyman,
pranced into her father's
study one evening while the reverend
gentleman was preparing a lengthy
r sermon for the following Sunday.
She looked curiously at the manuiv
' script for a moment and then turned
to her father.
"Papa," she began, seriously, "does
: v God tell you what to write?"
"Certainly, dearie," replied the
e&j * clergyman.
"Then why do you scratch so much
j.' of it out?" asked Effie.?Philadelj

/ ELOPES ONCE A YEAR.
||p V Taking the Family Cash and Her
Husband's Best Clothes.
eK-'""It
keeps me hustling to make
enough money so that my wife,
Goldie, can take her annual elopement,"
Harry Green told Magistrate
Carey to-day as he swore out a warrant
for Samuel Shore, his brother-inlaw.
Green averred-that his wife,
whom he married in Russia thirteen
' - "? 1! J -LI
years ago, naa iormeu iue uauit ui
eloping with Shore, a tobacconist,
about once every year.
He didn't mind it so much, Green
said, only Goldie had left him a nearly
bankrupt when she took her unannounced
pilgrimages with Shore, who
is married to Green's sister and has
a five-year-old son. A year ago last
July this pair ran away together, said
iff.'i Green, his wife carrying with iier
> $800 of the family funds. They were
traced to Montreal, Hartford, Conn.,
L- and other places, and returned to
Philadelphia only when they became
g:financially embarrassed.
. Green declared that he had been
saving up ever since the last elopement,
which came Sunday night,
> * when his wife took everything that
< she could conveniently carry, including
$400 cash and about $400 worth
of jewelry. .
"She even took my wedding suit
that I have preserved all these years"
said Green in a pathetic tone. "May*be
she will marry Shore some day,
when my sister and I obtain divorces,
and then he won't have to buy any
wedding clothes. She also took a
. r number of household articles, and it
looks as though they mean to make
a long stay this time. I have done
my best to keep them apart, but it's
no use.
"She packed up while I had the
two children out for a walk,and when
I returned shortly after 10 o'clock,
the rooms upstairs looked as though
the sheriff had been there. Maybe
they had a wagon?I don't know.
Well, I must get busy now and make
some more money, because Goldie
may want to elope next year again."

INDIAN MOUND YIELDS RELICS.
Recent Flood Uncovers Curiosity in
Abbeville County. "
Many Indian relics are being picked
up from the mound which was on
Mr. John Morrah's plantation before
the Savannah flood. Bradley Morrah
has a human bone, which when measured
would make the original man
eight feet tall. The ground where
the mound was is strewn with sea
shells, Indian pottery, beads and
bones. Miss Jessie Speed has two or
three pieces of pottery, a string of
beads and the jawbone of a deer,
which were washed up from the
mound.
The river before the flood made a
curve around the left of the mound,
but now there is every evidence that
it will run straignt tnrougn me iuui
of the mound.?Abbeville Medium.
Our Educational Number.
The Bamberg Herald has been receiving
loads of well deserved felicitations
upon its recent educational
number, and we think that Editor
Knight has every reason to feel proud
of his handiwork, for in general getup
and workmanship this edition was
certainly a gem of the printer's art.

o
Before we neglect it too long, we
want to say that Carlisle Pitting
School edition of the Bamberg Herald
was one of the neatest pieces of
newspaper work gotten out in this
State recently. Brother Knight is a
splendid newspaper man and anything
he undertakes bears the earmark
of success.?Gaffney Ledger.
A Gracious No.
There is'such a thing, though the
phrase seems like a contradiction. A
prar?iniiR nn a "eivine" no: for SOj
the truthful etymology allows us to
translate it.
A poor woman came the other day
into one of our large publishing
houses seeking for patronage. She
had "a little work." Everybody was
busy and waved her off peremptorily.
The woman went patiently from one
desk to another, offering her book.
After one or two rebuffs, she crossed
to the other side of the room where
a pleasant-faced man sat at a littered
table that looked as unpromising as
any of the others. He did. not buy the
book. He only said cordially, "I ami
sorry ^that I cannot afford to take it
of you. But it is a pleasure to look
at anything so beautiful. I hope you
will have good success with it."
"That's more than 'most anyone
has said," replied the woman grate-j
fully, as she turned away.
We need never?no Christian need
ever?give a real "no" to anyone. It
is only a gracious no, a "giving" no,
when we must say it. Our Lord can
turn it into yes.?Selected.
Pour Children Poisoned.
/
Gaffney, Sept. 22.?Three children
of Alex Allison and one child of Lan
drum Allison, prominent (jneronee
farmers, who live near Gaffney, in
Grassy Pond section of Cherokee
county, had a narrow escape from
death by poisoning Sunday afternoon.
The four, children were playing in
the woods near their homes when
they saw some berries which they supposed
to be sugar berries, which proved
to be of a very poisonous variety.
The children became violently sick
and but for prompt medical assistance
they would have died. They are
still very sick, but are thought to be,
out of danger.
Seaboard to Go at Auction. .
The Seaboard Air Line, now in receiver's
hands, will in all probability!
be put up and sold by the United j
States court the latter part of Feb-,
ruary or the first of March. It is understood
that a number of improvements
of the property will be made
before the sale of the road.
Anticipating a sale, it is reported
that a quiet but steady fight for future
control is being waged by two
rival factions?the one headed by
John Skelton Williams, and the other
| by Thomas F. Ryan, who is leader of
the interests who were in charge of
the road when it was placed in the
hands of receivers.
No definite information can be secured
as to the intentions of the Williams
faction, which is said to be
working quietly, waiting for a move
, by the Ryan interests. The latter
I are said to be equally as silent, await'

In this connection it is reported
that plans are being made by E. H.
, Harriman to secure the Atlanta and
Birmingham division of the line,
which will give him a direct outlet
to Atlanta for the Illinois Central.
While Harriman owns the Central of
Georgia from Birmingham to Savan:
nah, the Atlanta and Birmingham diI
vision of the Seaboard would give
I him direct entrance into Atlanta.?

Harriman Wants Seaboard.
Savannah. Ga., September 24.?
John F. Wallace, travelling in a
private car, is touring the Seaboard
Air Line system, accompanied by Superintendent
Grimshaw. The two
left this city this morning, to go over
the line from here to Montgomery.
Wallace, who was formerly chief
engineer of the Panama canal, is in
the employ of Edward H. Harriman,
it is said, and is making an inspection
of the Seaboard Air Line preparatory
to a report to Mr. Harriman upon
its physicial condition.
The Seaboard is now in the hands
of receivers, and it is said that Mr.
Harriman -proposes securing control
of the property.
HAS WOaiteRFtflL VITALITY. . j
I
Story of Mali's Heroic Action Comes ,
Prom Philadelphia. ,
Stuffing his handkerchief into a 1
wound in his abdomen made by a i
bullet that also passed through his
appendix, Eugene P. O'Donnell, of!
this city, calmly passed the long
hours that intervened between his injury
Saturday night and the departure
of the first train for the city
yesterday morning asleep in the railroad
station at Brigantine Junction.
Arriving in the city he walked into
the Pennsylvania Hospital and sought
treatment for the injuries which, the
physicians say, will probably prove
fatal, nearly twelve hours after they
were received.
The physicians at tne nospitai
could hardly credit the man's story
at first. They pronounced the exhibition
of nerve and vitality which
he gave as the most remarkable that '
had ever come under their observation,
and said that his recovery in
view of the serious nature of thej
wounds, the toss of blood, and the|
del# in treatment, would be just aS[
remarkable
It was' shortly before 10 o'clock yes- i
terday morning that O'Donnell walked
into the Pennsylvania Hospital,
calmly informed a physician that he
had been shot, and asked to be ex* .
amined. !
The physician discovered a bullet \
hole in his abdomen on the right side, j
which was large enough to permit \
O'Donnell to pack a portion of his
pocket handkerchief in to stop the
flow of blood.
On further examination the physi- j
cians found that the injury was made i
all the more serious by the fact that ,
the bullet had passed through O'Donnell's
appendix.
The unconcerned manner in which 1
O'Donnell related his story added to 1
the physician's astonishment. They '
saw that the wound was dangerous j
enough to have caused the death of j
an ordinary person within a few
hours.
According to his own story, O'Don- 1
nell was shot shortly after 10 o'clock i
Saturday, night, and it was nearly i
twelve hours later before he received
medical attention.
The handkerchief which was pushed
in the bullet hole, O'Donnell says
was put there by himself in the railroad
station. It stopped the flow of
blood somewhat, but the doctors say
that despite this the wounded man
lost blood enough to kill an average
man.
O'Donnell declared that after he
had packed the handkerchief into the
wound he went to sleep on a bench at
the railroad station until he was
f
awakened by railroad employes.?

A Plea.
I plead with those whose lives are
bright,
For those who dwell in gloom,
On whom there breaks no starry rift
Of hope beyond the tomb.
I plead with those whose homes are
fair,
For those whose homes are dim?
O guide them in the way of Christ,
That they may learn of Him.
?M. E. Sangster.

Yes, we exclaim, the race is to the
strong, the scepter is for the wise,
the throne for the man of wealth;
but the cross is to the character that
lives to love, and forgive, and save.
God seems to say: There is never a
soul that stoops, stripping itself that
it may wash the feet of another;
there is never a soul that sheds tears
over the ruin of those it loves, as Jesus
did on the Mount of Olives over
Jerusalem; there is never a soul that
denies itself to the uttermost, that is
not dear to me. I notice it, though
the great world passes by, unwitting
and careless.
We sometimes think as the little
boy said when he was asked if he
did not think God had forgotten him,
"No, God has not forgotten but some
one he told must have forgotten to
do." So we can but add:
"T^t me live in a house by the side
of the road,
Where the race of men go by;
The men that are good and the men
that are bad,
As good and as bad as I.
I would not sit ih the scorner's seat,
Nor hurl the cynic's ban;
Let me live in a house by the side of
the road,
And be a friend to man.
