BATTLESHIPS GATHERING.
\ ???
Thirteen Floating Forts Assembled
Off Cape Ann.
Rockport, Mass., July 7.?Garbed
in the gray of war and equipped with
tall fighting masts, thirteen battle
ships of the North Atlantic squadron
assembled off Cape Ann to-day. As
the sun was setting this array of sea
fighters, the largest since the world
i circling fleet dispersed at Hampton
Roads, started to the eastward to
engage in manoeuvres off the Massachusetts
coast. For the next four
or five weeks extensive movements
" will be carried out. On Saturday the
fleet is expected at Provincetown,
which will be its base on the northern
waters.
chins which will join the fleet
as the movements progress include
' .. four battle ships, a dozen torpedo
boats and destroyers, submarines and
auxiliaries. It will be the largest
and most powerful fleet of war vessels
ever gathered in American wa>
ters.
The concentration of the fleet off
Thatcher's Island to-day was impressive.
After three days at sea, when the
ships put back to Provincetown, the
10,000 or more sailors will have a
t liberty day for sports among the
sand dunes of Cape Cod.
The ships in the fleet to-day were
the Connecticut, (flag ship,) Vermont,
Louisiana, Kansas, Maine,
* New Hampshire, Wisconsin, New
Jersey, Minnesota, Georgia, Rhode
Island, Nebraska and Idaho. Later
the Missouri, Virginia, Ohio and
Mississippi will complete the quota
* of seventeen first-class ships.

Mr. Hobson is not a stranger in
South Carolina. Soon after he gained
his fame in the Spanish-American
war Capt. Hobson delivered several
lectures in the South, some of them
> in South Carolina, where he made
many friends. Representative Lever
will also speak at Williamston on
the same day.
v Life 100,000 Years Ago.
Scientists have found in a cave in
Switzerland bones of men, who lived
100,000 years ago, when life was in
> constant danger from wild beasts.
To-day the danger, as shown by A.
W. Brown, of Alexander, Me., is
largely from deadly disease. "If it
had not been for Dr. King's New
i Discovery, which cured me, I could
not have lived," he writes, "suffering
as I did from a severe lung trouble
and stubborn cough." To cure
sore lungs, colds, obstinate coughs,
and prevent pneumonia, its the best
medicine on earth. 50c. and $1.00.

Bran< hville Negro Stole Five Dollars.
Branchville, July 6.?Master Arthur
Waldren, only son of Mrs. Maud
Thompson, of the Cattle Creek section,
was hurt Monday by falling and
breaking his right arm. The little
boy bad started to go down tne steps
and bis foot slipped and he fell with
the above result The mother and
step grandfather of the little boy
took him and hurried to town and
engaged the services of Dr. Wimberly,
who in a short time relieved the
little fellow of the intense suffering.
This morning a little negro boy
named Eugene Smith broke into the
beef market of W. W. Barrs, and
opened the money till and stole
therefrom $5.00. This happened
about daylight. When Mr. Barrs
came down to his market and opened
his money till he saw that it had
been tampered with and that some
money had been taken therefrom.
This boy was so small (he being only
eleven years old) until it was hard
-to believe that he was capable of
committing such a crime, but suspicion
pointed directly to the child and
a search was made and the money
was found in the little out-house
where the boy kept his clothes.
The thief was taken before Judge
Dukes and bound over to the court

FIREMEN'S CONTEST HELD.
First Prize in the Hand Reel Races
Goes to Georgetown.
Union, July 7.?The State firemen's
tournament started off to-day
with a grand parade down Main
street at 10 a. m. All the visiting
companies were in line, and the men,
machines and horses were gaily decorated
for the occasion. At eleven
o'clock the hand reel races were
pulled off, the entries being: Anderson,
Columbia, Georgetown, Newberry,
and Charleston.
Georgetown won first prize, $100.
The second prize, $75, went to Columbia.
Time, Georgetown 21 2-3
seconds; Columbia, 22 seconds. The
same companies entered the grab
reel race this afternoon, first money
going to Anderson, while Newberry
took second, the former in 21 2-5
seconds, the latter in 21 3-5. The
hook and ladder exhibition by the
Charleston company was practically
abandoned because of rain.
Georgetown Pleased.
Georgetown, July 7.?The people
of Georeetown are immensely Droud
of their reel team, which won first
honors at Union to-day, the news of
which came in a telegram from Chief
of the Fire Department Chas. J.
Levy, and from many private parties,
who went to cheer the hoys to victory.
The welcome home of the first
prise winners will be made a notable
festive occasion. It is not the
first time that the Georgetown firemen
have brought back honors from
the State firemen's contests, but the
record of the present team of 21 2-3
seconds is the quickest time yet
made.
A Study in Anatomy.
The brain is the headquarters of
the nervous system and contains the
central offices of the Anatomical
Telephone company.
When the suburban nerve center
says, "Hello, central," the brain either
replies "What number?" "Busy,"
or "Out of order," as the case may
be.
Sometimes the wires are crossed
and the company fails to declare any
dividends, thus placing the entire
brain in the hands of a receiver.
From the brain issues the spine,
which is sometimes useful in matrimony,
although rarely strong enough
in man for practical purposes, and
constantly growing weaker the long
er ne is marnea.
On top of the head the hair grows,
or is supposed to. In some cases,
however, it fails to grow despite the
most painstaking efforts.
In ladies there are two kinds of
hair?viz: the imported and domestic.
In gentlemen also two kinds?
namely, permanent and transient.
The permanent is seen in wild men,]
the transient in civilized men when
young.
At one time all the hairs were
carefully numbered, but the practice
has been discontinued owing
to great pressure of other matters.

Cleveland for a vacation period and
who is in the public service in his j
Scottish home, tells this tale anent
one McGregor, a thrifty man in a
land of thrift, who was seen in Glasgow

"Who gi'n ye the di'mon,

"Nobbut myself," was the answer.
. "Oh, aye," ventured the questioner.
"Te've been trating yesseT,

"Oh, aye," responded McDermott.
"An' then he wished th' execooter

Useless Luxury.
A sick peasant motions feebly to
his wife to approach his bedside and
whispers painfully, "I think, my

"My dear, what do you want of
broth? Hasn't the doctor just given
you up?"

eighty-six years old, has divided
his wealth with his wife, forty-six
years old, has obtained a divorce under

Three Drowned at Cheraw Ferry.
Cheraw, July 11.?A terrible accident
occurred last night at the
Cheraw ferry about 10 o'clock. A
number of persons were delayed in
town and were returning to their
homes in Marlboro county, among
Mr. Charles Irby, having a long twohorse
wagon driven by a colored
man. There were in the wagon besides
the driver a colored woman
and two small children. The mules
jbegan backing and the driver, instead
of cutting them, jerked the
reins and they backed off into the
water, drowning the driver, the woman
and one child.
A boy about 10 years old held on
to the wagon bed and was rescued
by Mr. Walter Pegues, who has
charge of the ferry. The bodies have
not yet been recovered.
Discards "Unwritten Law."
Marianna, Fla., July 10.?His
wife's story that Dr. H. Alexander
had kissed her while she was a patient
in his chair caused J. V. White
to kill the dentist several months
ago and to-day the resulting trial
ended with the jury's verdict of second
degree murder which, carries
with it a sentence of life imprisonment.
White's plea was that of selfdefense,
he asserting that after the
trouble had been "patched up" he
met Dr. Alexander in a dark street
and believed that he was about to be
attacked. The dentist was armed
only with an umbrella and five bullets
were fired at him by White.
Witnesses, however, testified that
White had threatened to kill Dr.
Alexander.

BRUTAL ASSAULT IN PICKENS.

herself, though close to one of her
sons. After she had fastened the $$
doors and blew out the light a man ; ^
came to her bed and demanded her ~
money. She said, "I have no money,
my son has it." He then assaulted >?g
her.
He gained admittance by going up
a ladder to an upstairs window. The
lady does not know positively who it
wan, as it was dark, but knows it M
was a negro by his kinky hair.
The matter was kept qniet until
yesterday. Suspicion rested on Sam
Vaughn, a negro who was working XI
at the settlement. He begged his
employer yesterday morning to can- .??|
eel the contract, and the latter did
so. Vaughn made one statement
which, connected with other circum?
stances, led to suspicions, and he was
arrested yesterday evening and .^j|
placed in jail last night.
The people of the eastern part of
the county are considerably wrought
up over the deed.

when Marshal Lewis, colored, was

mouth and begging for water, after
Sheriff L. C. Avera had sprang the
trap and the body had dropped six

The second attempt proved unsuccessful
in breaking the condemned
man's neck, death resulting in 15
minutes from strangulation.
Lewis shot and killed Clifford
Rutherford, assistant postmaster at
Lenox, Ga., April 12.
He confessed his guilt.
By publishing a sketch of his life
he earned sufficient money to pay for
the transportation of his body to his
home at Oakfield, Ga. He was above
the average of his race in intelligence.
The few spectators who witnessed
the spectacle were visibly affected by
the gruesomeness. The drop of six
feet stretched the cotton rope so that
the man's feet touched the earth. He
was cut down and with the aid of one
man mounted the scafford a second
time. He talked coherently.
