><'v" * ?1 1 1 ""r 1 ~ CENSUS TAKERS NEEDED. ! Within the Next Three Months 3,000 Good Jobs Will be Filled. Within the next few months about 3,000 positions in the census department will be filled by the government. In 1910 the matter of taking the 13th census will begin and the work of securing the vast army of employes necessary for this worx is shortly to be taken up. Five thousand office people and 5,000 special agents will be necessary i for the work of taking the census. The clerks will receive from $ 60 up, and the special agents' from $3 to $10 a day and expenses. The government has a strong force of clerks and special agents employed now in the census department, but it will require the addition of 3,000 men and women before the work of begiuning the census is taken up. The way in which these employes are to be secured is now being threshed put before congress. They will either be appointed from the civil service lists or through members of congress. As soon as the method has been determined, the work of appointment will be begun. By sum? ?? ** H?AkAk]A fVof fha full mcr, It ID piuuausc uuav i.ii? iwii vvi^w of 3,0^0 additional employes will have been appointed. No matter how the appointments are made, a hundred or more people from South Carolina will be appointed. The waiting lists of the civil service commission in South Carolina are full and there will be no trouble in securing enough appointees, should the government decide to turn to the civil service commission for aid. in ease the appointments are made through the recommendation of congress, each South Carolina congressman Will have the power of recommending a fat number of appointees, who will then be examined, and appointed, provided they pass their examinations. It will require about five years to take the census, and it is usually the government's policy at the end of the cej&sustaking, to provide for its employes, who have been engaged on that Work, by assigning tbem to other departments. For this reason, not only are good salaries paid for the time being, but a future is offered. By July the laying out of schedules and the work of dividing each State into enumerators districts will be begun. There will probably be twenty enumerators' districts in Greenville county. For every congressional dis" trict a supervisor will be appointed. The civil service commission and all otherxdepartments of#the government are now anxiously waiting for a decision by congress in regard to the method of appointment. Soldier Balks Death Plot. It seemd to J. A. Stone, civil war veteran, of Kemp, Tex., that a plot existed between a desperate lung trouble and the grave to cause his death. "I contracted a stubborn cold," he writes "that developed a cough that stuck to me, in spite of remedies, for years. My weight ran down to 130 pounds. Then I began to> use Dr. King's New Discovery, which restored my health completely. I now weigh 178 pounds." For severe colds, obstinate coughs, hemorrhages, asthma, andto prevent pneumonia it's unrivaled. 50c. and $1.00. Trial bottle free. Guaranteed by Peoples Drug Co., Bamberg, S. C.

An Englishman, fond of boasting of his ancestry, says the Christian Endeavor World, took a coin from his pocket, and, pointing to the head engraved on it, said: "My great-greatgrandfather was made a lord by the King whose picture you see on this shilling." "What a coincidence!" said his Yankee companion, who at once produced another coin. "My great-great grandfather was made an angel by the Indian whose picture you see on this cent!" Moonshiner Shoots Prisoner. Charlotte, N. C., Jan. 29.?In a r battle between federal officers and moonshiners near Mortimer, Caldwell county, this afternoon, W. W. Honeycutt, whom the officers had under arrest, was killed by a bullet through the heart, fired by Dolph Pritchard. The bullet was fired from ambush and Pritchard aimed to kill Deputy Sheriff Garland, to whom Honeycutt was handcuffed. The second bullet from Pritchard's gun shot Deputy Sheriff Smith's pistol from his hand, while the third took effect in Officer Garland's face. The sheriff of Caldwell county left Lenoir to-night with a posse of six deputies to bring in the defendant moonshiners. The men implicated, including Honeycutt, have defied the law for years. + OFFICERS ARREST DETECTIVES. Private Sleuths Keeping Gate at Thunderbolt Track. Savannah, Ga., Jan. 28.?Private detectives engaged by race officials for duty at Thunderbolt clashed with Chatham county deputies this afternoon as a sequel to the arrest yesterday of bookmakers and others by the county officers. When the trouble ended Detective Hewett, head of the agency, and Officer Atkinson, in his employ, were arrested by deputies. The county officers were stopped at the track gates by Atkinson, who failed to regard the authority of their badges and complimentary tickets they carried and refused them admittance. Inside no bookmakers' charts were in evidence, though handbooks were being used for a fair business. Despite the unobtrusive-f ness of the betting methods, the dep- 1 uties were denied admittance, Hewett upholding his subordinate. The deputies took Hewett and Atkinson from the gate, placed them in a buggy and left for the city. Later the two gave bond, under the charge, it is said, of interfering with officers. It is believed the activity of the jOGal officers during the last two days of the race meeting pcecludes any probability of a meet here in the future. The grand jury's order for the arrest of the bookmakers and others yesterday was caused by the appearance before the jury of Rev. Dr. W. N. Ainsworth, a local minister. Orders Treasury Locked Up. Columbia, Jan. 30.?Governor Ansel has directed the treasurer-elect * of Edgefield county, Mr. Mims, to retain possession of the keys to his office and deny all comers admittance thereto until an accountant c from the comptroller general's office i arrives. Then the grand jury committee, or an expert designated by it, c may go over the books in company g with the representative of the State's ( tax department. A dispatch sent out g from Edgefield last night says that g the governor has not as yet given any t instructions to the newly elected au- j ditor, Mr. Timmerman.

C., Jan. 31.?A party T of revenue officers, who returned 8 from the notorious York settlement 8 in the "dark corner" of South Carolina, where six distilleries and 4,000 gallons of beer were discovered by the same officers three weeks ago, re- 1 ported that they had found three children, none over 10 years old, making brandy with a still they had constructed themselves. This is one r of the most out-of-the-way sections s in the country and when the officers t made the raid they found little ap- I parent effort to hide the stills. The l children, evidently, had seen the C work going on all their lives and i had been brought up to look on it as a an honorable means of making a live- t lihood. t The still used by the children consisted of a wooden bucket for a n "cap," a pair of kegs for "doublers," c and a bored out poplar limb for a t "worm," through which brandy was i trickling into a beer bottle. s The party captured Henry Connife y and Will Tom Cook, who are wanted s by the federal authorities on the v charge of running an illicit distillery, v It was reported by the party that s there was evidence that the "block- e aders" did not intend to give up the t business without a fight, for of 17 i: fermenters destroyed by them eight s had been patched up. All were p burned before leaving this time. t ? t Catarrh Cannot be Cured ' c with local applications, as they can- a not reach the seat of the disease, c Catarrh is a blood or constitutional t disease, and in order to cure it you C must take internal remedies.

FOX HOUND'S TRIP. ?inds Way Back Home From Kentucky to Hot Springs, Ark. Hot Springs, Ark., Jan. 26.?Alnost starved to death and her feet ore and bleeding, Seminole, a threeime prize-winner in the National Fox iound Association trials, returned Lere to the home of her owner, Judge J. Floyd liuff, after having been lost n the last annual trials at Crab Orchard, Ky., two months ago. The fact >f the incident puts to shade many of he .Roosevelt nature stories. More -than two months ago SemiLole, an aged hound, was put in a rate here and sent by express to paricipate in the national trials. Leadng the pack in the chase of Reynard he never returned, judge nun aaertised in every weekly paper in that ection of Kentucky, offering regards for the return of his dog. Hope ?as finally abandoned. Yesterday he stalked into the yard of her ownr completely exhausted. She swam he Mississippi and Arkansas rivers u her return. That a fox hound hipped by express to such a far-away toint should find her way home adds o the interest. Everything else but he fact that the hound was last leard of in the Kentucky hills hasing a fox and two months later rrived here almost dead is left for onjecture. It could not have been he scent that directed the return, larrier pigeons had heretofore had he exclusive record for such feats in act, and cats in fancy. The dog is he pedigreed mother of some of the est hounds in the Derby trials of the ast two years. Cold Kills in New Orleans.
