ARMY RAXKS FULL.
With 77,000 Men, No More Applicants
Will be Recruited.
For the first time since the Spanish
war the United States army is recruited
up to its full strength in all
of its branches, and in every recruiting
station in New York, Brooklyn
and Jersey City there is prominently
displayed on the bulletin boards a
notice signed by the adjutant general
of the army ordering the recruiting
officers to confine themselves, until
further orders, to the reenlisting of
1-1 ? J ??i a m/w/n A i
nonora.uiv uisuuaigcu sumicis.
According to some reports the increased
enlistment that has brought
the army up to its full strength or
77,000 men, was due to hard times,
but this is denied in part by the officers.
They admit that many men
undoubtedly fell into the ranks as a
result of financial depression, but
say that the majority are young men
who have gone into the army as a
career. The number of rejected applicants
in the last fifteen months indicates
that this is true, and that
those who wanted to enlist because
they could get nothing else to do
were for the most part refused by the
officers in charge of recruiting stations.
Many of the recruits are mechanics,
some are engineers, others are
* from commercial vocations, while a
good number are stenographers and
shipping clerks.
Advertise or Quit*
In an address before a gathering
of advertising men recently, F. L.
Blanchard, an advertising expert, of
New York, among other things said
this, which we Copy for the benefit
of business men who advertise?or
should if they are business men:
"The average small advertiser
thinks that he knows all there is
about advertising to be known when
he starts to advertise, and fails to
appreciate the value of an analytic
critical specialist who has spent
years In acquiring his peculiar line
of knowledge.
The next ten or fifteen years will
see remarkable developments in advertising,
and it is only a question of
a- few years when firms will be compelled
to exploit the advantages of
( their goods or retire from business.
We all know that at the present time
it Is the "dead ones" who do not advertise?the
ones whose shelves are
laden with fly-specked and shelfworn
goods. The live-wires of every
community are the men who keep
their wares and their names con-J
stantly before the public.

COLUMBIA MINISTER
i^TTPVTfiiffis (SENSATION.
Divine Services Interrupted by Dog,
the Minister Proceeds to Throw
the Dog Out of the Window.
Rev. A. B. Kennedy, pastor of the
First Baptist church. Columbia, appeared
before a magistrate's court in
Columbia last Wednesday to answer
to a charge of cruelty to animals
brought by Mr. Tyler Starling, agent
of the S. P. C. A.
The trial developed the fact that
the dog had followed its owner, Mrs.
LeGrand Guerry, into the building
and selecting a soft spot up near the
"amen corner," had quietly laid
down. An evangelist named Wakefield
took exceptions to the presence
. of the dog and requested its removal,
by the ushers. The dog preferred to
stay inside, however, and resisted
the efforts of the ushers to remove
him in a strenuous manner. They
quickly became "dog shy," and then
the Rev. Mr. Kennedy came down
from the rostrum, seized the animal
by the throat and pitched him out of
the nearest window.
The trial of the minister brought
forth many witnesses on both sides
and after hearing the evidence, Magi
istrate Fowles rendered a verdict of
acquital.
Mr. Kennedy, in .concluding his
testimony, handed out a few boul
quets to the newspapers, saying
among other things that "the papers
seemed to take a delight in making
nntnHotv over the affair."
What the Professor Wanted.
The professor steps into the barber's
chair and assumes an attitude
of deep meditation.
"Hair cut, sir?"
"Please!" The barber cuts his
hair.
"Like a shampoo?"
"Um?please!" He gets the
shampoo.
"Shave you, sir?"
"Um?yes!" One shave.
"Massage?" He nods assent, and
consequently is massaged. The barber
removes the towel, the professor
arises and mechanically takes the
proffered check.
"What's this?"
"Your check, sir."
"My check?"
"Certainly, sir. Haircut, shampoo,
shave and massage."
The professor rubs his hand over
face and head. "Did I get all that?"
"Surely, sir."
"It's queer, very qqueer?most extraordinarily
queer! A most wonderful
example of philosophical phenomena!"
"What's queer, sir?" asks the bar
ber in dismay,
i "Why, the working of the human
* mind. WThat I came in for was to get
my razor honed."

"BLIND TIGER KING" GOES FREE
W. H. Sellers Acquitted of the Slaying
of J. P. Farmer, in Columbia.
On last Thursday evening, after
three hours of deliberation, the jury
in the case of Wade Hampton Sellers,
Columbia's "blind tiger king,"
filed in and announced a verdict of
"not guilty."
The plea of the counsel for the
State was based upon the fact that
Constable Farmer was acting upon
the supposition that behind him was
thp anthoritv of the commonwealth
of South Carolina while the plea of
the defense was self-defense.
During most of the day the mother,
the wife and daughter and little
son of the deceased were in the court
room, and they were very visibly affected
by the pleadings of the attorneys.
The defendant during the entire
trial preserved a demeanor of calm
confidence amounting almost to indifference.
At all times he was intensely
interested in the progress of
the trial, and not a particular of it
escaped him.
He was in the court room all the
time the jury was out, a calm and
apparently interested spectator of
the proceedings of another homicide
trial. When the jury that held his
fate returned to the court room,
those who looked at him noticed that
the color had receded from his
usually florid face. When the words,
"Not guilty," were pronounced by
Clerk Walker, a joyful light leaped
into his eyes and face, and he arose
quickly and his hands were grasped
by those near him in congratulation
of his acquittal of the serious charge
of the crime of murder.
The members of the family of the
deceased were not present when the
verdict was handed in by the jury.
* -*-1' Ji
a civil case is peuuuig agamsi
Sellers in which the wife of deceased
is plaintiff for damages in the sum
of $25,000 for the killing of her husband
by the late defendant. The acquittal
yesterday of defendant in
this criminal case will not stop the
suit

Girl as Goose Charmer.
According to a dispatch from Niantic,
Pa., to the New York American,
the power to charm animals even including
geese, is possessed by Miss
Stella, daughter of Joel Weller, of
this nlace. She is a sweet sineer and
has a remarkable magnetic power
over animals. With a low, musical,
whirring sound, she attracts and
tames any fowl or animal. "Goosey,"
her web-footed pet, needs but to hear
that Strang sound, far or near, and
then will flap her wings, cackle and
fly into the girl's lap.
Stella's sister, Cora, is a rural mail
carrier known all over this region.
She and her horse carry the mail between
this place and Barto, making
two trips each day, a distance of
twenty-seven miles.
During the last four years the perfectly
fearless girl has traveled a
trifle over 10,000 miles. Everybody
along the route welcomes her and
looks for her cheery smile every
morning. She is a musician, too,
playing the pipe organ in church and
Sunday-school.
Women Who Are Envied.
Those attractive women who are
lovely in face, form and temper are
the envy of many, who might be like
them. A weak, sickly woman will be
nervous and irritable. Constipation
or kidney poisons show in pimples,
blotches, skin eruptions and a
wretched complexion. For all such
Electric Bitters work wonders. They
regulate stomach, liver and kidneys,
purify the blood; give strong nerves,
bright eyes, pure breath, smooth,
velvety skin, lovely complexion.
Many charming women owe their
health and beauty to them. 50c. at

Mistrial in King Case.
Marion, June 2.?The jury in the
case of John King, alias John B.
Stillwell, alias "Pennsylvania
Swipes," charged with complicity in
the Latta bank robbery, failed to
agree and Judge John S. Wilson ordered
a mistrial at 1 o'clock to-day
after the jury had been out since 7
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
case was taken up upon the assembling
of court yesterday morning and
occupied the entire day.
The robbery was committed, it is
alleeed bv the State, in 1905. by
John P. McCarthy, King, Schaefer
and Morgan. This is presumed to
have been one of the several gangs
of yeggmen which had its headquarters
at the place of Rabens in Charleston.
The gang broke into the
store of Mr. John F. Dew, which was
also used as the postoffice, and the
Bank of Latta, which was in the
same building. They failed to get
anything out of the bank, but took
all the money in Mr. Dew's store and
the postoffice.
A Thrilling Rescue.
How Bert R. Lean, of Cheny,
Wash., was saved from a frightful
death is a story to thrill the world.
"A hard cold," he writes, "brought
on a desperate lung trouble that
baffled an expert doctor here. Then
I paid $10 to $15 a visit to a lung
specialist in Spokane, who did not
help me. Then I went to California,
but without benefit. At last I used
Dr. King's New Discovery, which
completely cured me and now I am
as well as ever." For lung trouble,

FANNING FOULLY SLAIN. 1
Williston Man Shot Dead From Am- I
bush.
Williston, June 5.?Cleve Fanning
was slain from ambush last Fri- d
day night, near the old Phillips mill j t
site, by a party whose identity is sus-' a
pected, but whose whereabouts are f
not known. Mr. Fanning was driv- d
ing along the unfrequented road, p
when he was shot from behind a tall p
pine. Mr. Fanning's horse and bug- t
gy came to a neighbor's home, and e
it was seen that the bpggy was a
bloody. His brother, Jack Fanning, C
who has charge of the county chain- a
gang, was notified to come and t
bring the hounds. The searching r
party found the dead body near the p
Old rnniips mm sue, wmuu ^
about two and a half miles north of
town. a
Since there was no other trail i
than the murderer's the dogs had no a
trouble in picking it up from behind ?
a large pine, where the murderer g
stood to shoot his victim as he sat i
in the buggy. The trail was then I
followed through the woods, for the i
fleeing man did not trust himself to c
the traveled roads, to a point on the c
Edisto river about six and a half i
miles from the killing. There the t
dogs stopped at a tree on the river's 1
bank and looked up as if they had t
the victim treed, but on closer ex- 1
amination it was Been where he had ?
untied his boat. The dogs swam t
around in the river, but could pick c
up no trail on the other side. c

rORNADO DEMOLISHES HOUSE.
lome of Mr. G. S. Hungerpiller
Wrecked.
Elloree, June 5.?A terrific tornalo
passed through this section about
wo miles above Elloree Thursday
.fternoon about 7 o'clock, about 200
eet in width and continuing for a
listance of seven or eight miles, comdetely
demolishing everything in its
>ath, rendering several families
tomeless, damaging property to the
xtent of several thousand dollars
Lnd ininrine a number of nersons.
Considering the force of the wind
ind the violence of the storm and
he debris that was piled upon innates
of homes that were blown to
>ieces it is marvelous that there was
10 loss of life.
The storm appears to have formed
ibout five miles west of here, where
t completely demolished the home
md all of the outbuildings of Mr. G.
>. Hungerpiller, who, with Mrs. Hunjerpiller
and their two children, was
n their home when it was torn to
>ieces. All of them received painful
njuries in the wreckage. They were
liscovered after the storm and medial
aid was quickly summoned. Their
njuries, though painful, are not
bought to be serious. The home of
drs. L. E. Bair was completely
wrecked, but the inmates left the
louse before the wind struck it. Mr.
5. C. Kemmerlin'8 home was blown
o pieces, and Mrs. Kemmerlin was
lovered up by the wreckage. She revived
several painful scars and
) raises about the head and face, and
t was some time before her hus>and
could rescue her. The barns,
itables and outbuildings of Mr. E. F.
rick were blown down and considerible
damage was done the residence,
dr. Irick had just got home from
Slloree and was removing the harless
from his horse when the storm
same upon him as in a minute, and

Somerville, Mass., June 5.?With
i maniacal shriek, John Murphy

in the North Packing and
Provision Company's slaughterlouse
to-day and driving his fellow
vorking men before him, slew five

Two of the wounded were reportid

According to some of the worknen,
Murphy had been acting pe;uliarly
for some days, but he re:urned
from his dinner this noon ap>arently
in normal condition.
Shortly after 2 o'clock he suddeny

md sprang at Dr. Hayes, waving his
L5 inch razor-edge knife in his hand.
3e cut Dr. Hayes a deep gash on the

vas quickly on his feet again and
vounded another man.
On the street floor he was given
