STORIES OF LONDON.
How Capt. Wilson Filled that Breach '
and Won the Victoria Cross.
The scene is the Soudan. At the
village of El Teb, thousands of black, J
yelling, fanatical followers of the *
Mahdi have gathered to oppose the (
further progress of the British force t
marching to the relief of two besieg- ?
ed garrisons. ]
In a large hollow square, one side
of which is formed by the naval bri- t
gade and two other regiments, the *
Britishers press forward, Jack quickly
silencing the enemy's guns, which ^
are mounted on earthworks thrown c
up round the village. Suddenly, as t
the square sweeps down on the
Arabs, the latter cease their rifle j
fire, leave their shelter, and pour e
down upon the square. t
Hundreds are slaughtered by the
machine guns of the Britishers, but, c
heedless of shot and shell, hundreds i
more continue the reckless charge, *
and with such impetuosity do they 1
hurl themselves on that part of the j
square formed by the naval brigade ?
that it is broken. Then occurs an in- I
cident unparalleled in the history of ^
warfare. A number of Arabs rush- j
ed through the gap. Many of the
gunners were in extreme danger, and t
Capt. Wilson, seing one of his men ?
about to be speared, went to his as- t
sistance and ran the black through t
the body. J
&ucn was ine luiut; ul IUC im uo*., ^
however, that blade of his sword j
broke off near the hilt. Instantly
the Arabs closed on the captain, and he
seemed doomed. But with his |
fists he bowled over the enemy like i 1
ninepins. The blacks were amazed (
at the nature of the attack. Try as J
they would they could not break J
through these powerful arms or (
avoid the flashing fists, and ere they t
could recover from their suprise they
they were cut down by soldiers who t
rushed to the help of the gallant cap- \
tain. . (
His action undoubtedly saved many
lives. He filled the breach at ^
a moment critical in the extreme, for <
had the Arabs succeeded in enlarging s
the gap there would have been a dif- v
ferent tale to tell of the battle of El
Teb, which ended in such a splendid ]
British victory. Since those days 1
Capt. Wilson has won many honors ;
and risen high in his profession, but j
although he is now an admiral, entitled
to place many letters after his 1
name, it is doubtful if he is so proud
of any of them as the "V. C." won j
with bare fists.
It is a curious fact that the three
senior officers in this battle, Sir. D.
Graham, Sir. R. Buller and Sir. W. Hewitt,
R. N., all won the Victoria
cross.?Tit Bits.
Arrested for Selling Whiskey. ]
Orangeburg, Aug. 15.?Alec Jen- :
ningSi who lives in the lower fork of ]
this county, about ten miles from the .
city, was arrested here late yesterday .
afternoon, after a warrant had been
sworn out against him by Magistrate
Brunson, on the charge of selling 1
whiskey. ]
A man named Ayers, it is alleged, ,
gave young Jennings $5 with which
to buy him two half-pints of liquor 1
and the whiskey was obtained and de- <
livered to Ayers. Jennings did not ;
return any change to Ayers, hence .
he reported the matter to the police
department. A warrant was taken '
out and the arrest made.
The whiskey was obtained, it is al
leged, from the Edisto Social Club. (
The Edisto authorities alleged as
their defense that Jennings had this
whiskey in his private locker a,nd <
that the club had done nothing unlawful.
Jennings is now in jail and will
probably have a hearing before the
magistrate in the morning. The offense
may prove beyond this jurisdic- .
tion.
The police are on the alert since ]
the club raids on last Friday. There j
was quite an amount of drinking and
drunkenness here on Saturday and '
things looked suspicious. All efforts 1
are being made to locate the "tigers," 1
if any. J
Destroy Distilling Plant. j
Greenville, August 16.?One of ,
the finest distilling plants which the 1
revenue officers have run upon for a j
long time was destroyed yesterday ]
by Officers Merrick, Scruggs, Corn 1
and Campbell. The plant was on the <
top of Panther mountain, about 35 <
miles from Greenville and within a ^
half mile of the North Carolina line.
The outfit was destroyed, about 220 '
gallons of beer and mash were poured
out and a 50-gallon barrel of whiskey
was brought back to Greenville. 1
The officers ran upon the outfit (
Sunday morning about 10 o'clock, 1
but signal shots had already been 1
fired, and the moonshiners escaped j
before the officers arrived upon the 1
scene. The outfit was one of the *
finest and best the officers have de- '
stroyed in a long time. The raiding
party got back to Greenville about 12
o'clock Sunday night, bringing with ^
them the 50-gallon barrel of wkis- 1
key. (
]
Swallows His Teeth. J
Few physicians ever operated up- ]
on a man with the same object as i
did the doctors at the Adrian hospital j
at Punxsutawney, Pa., on Saturday, ]
when an abdominal incision was
made on Peter Jackson, a white man. ]
. -1 ?J?'-i-i + 4
jacKSon, wnne urmaiiis a uuiuc ui i
pop at his home, dislodged his false
teeth and swallowed them. ]
A physician, unable to recover the ]
molars, forced them into the man's <
stomach and then rushed him to the ?
hospital, where the operation was (
performed. Jackson is in a critical I
condition. !

NAMES CENSUS TAKERS.
Taft Announces Appointment of Supervisors.
Beverly, .Mass., August 15.?In a
etter addressed to-day to Secretary
s'agel, of the department of comnerce
and labor, President Taft served
notice that any man engaged in
he taking of the census of.the United
states who engaged in politics in any
vay will be dismissed immediately
:'rom the service.
At the same time announcement
vas made of the appointment of 134
idditional supervisors.
Outside of casting their votes the
resident believes that census supervisors
and enumerators should keep
dear of anything that savors of poliics,
national, State or local.
In his letter President Taft orders
hat the secretary of commerce and
abor and the director of the census
:mbody in the regulations governing
he taking of the census the rule so
orcibly laid down in letter.
Mr. Taft says that in appointing
:ensus supervisors it has been found
lecessary to select men recommended
>y senators and congressmen in their
listricts. He says he realizes that
his method of selecting might easily
>e perverted to political purposes
md it is to take the census out of
politics, so far as the actual work is
:oncerned, that he has explicitly exjressed
his desires as to the regulaions.
The census supervisors announced
o-day were as follows:

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.
Vegro Boy Signs for White Man Who
Couldn't Write.
Gaffney, Aug. 14.?It is the custom
of one of the Gaffney cotton
mills to pay off their help twice a
month, and the paymaster is accompanied
on his rounds by a negro boy,
who carries the box containing the
pay envelopes.
On the last pay day the paymaster
came to a fine looking young fellow,
and when ne was asked to sign
the card acknowledging the receipt
of the money, was informed that he
could not write. One or two of the
bands in the vicinity were asked to
write his name for him, but for various
reasons they did not do so,
when the negro boy took the pen
and signed the young fellow's name
on the card. This illustration is a
forcible argument for compulsory
ortiipatirm anH ran hp need nrnfitfthlv
by those who are in favor of the
measure.
Will Fight Two Cent Rate.
Roanoke, Va., August 16.?The
Norfolk & Western Railroad Company
will ask the courts to relieve it
from the operation of the 2-cent rate
law of West Virginia. Notice has
been given to Judge S. C. Burdett of
the Kanawha circuit court by the attorneys
for the Norfolk & Western
that they will present their petition
to his court on August 23, asking for
a permanent injunction to restrain
the proper officials from instituting
criminal or civil proceedings against
the road, its agents or officers for
failure to comply with the lower fare
law. Judge Burdett has held the
West Virginia 2-cent law to be unconstitutional
on its face in the cases
)f the Coal & Coke, the Chesapeake
fc Ohio and the Virginian railways.
randerbilt Lends to Negro Fireman.
Asheville, N. C., August 17.?The
joot-begrimed note of George Logan,
colored, found its way into the private
car of George W. Vanderbilt,
where a missive from many a person
?f orroator nrpfpnsinns than a npern
iireman would not have been received.
Furthermore, it brought George
5500 on account of old association.
George was stoking the engine
vhen he observed the Vanderbilt private
car, "Swannannoa," coupled on
?or the run to Washington. The incident
set him to thinking that he
needed $500 to pay for a place he
svas buying, and maybe Mr. Vanderbilt
would lend it to him, because
bis folks had sold part of the Biltnore
estate to Vanderbilt. He wrote
i note, which was taken by a friendly
porter to the Vanderbilt car.
Later Logan had a letter asking
bim if he could get a pass ahd come
:o New York. George did. He told
Mr. Vanderbilt about the little home
ne was buying and that he would
ose it unless he got $500. Mr. Vanierbilt
had inquiries made, which resulted
in Logan being told that if Ire
called at the Biltmore estate office
Monday he would get a check for
5500.

Barnwell's Distinguished Sons.
Editor The Bamberg Herald: A
recent writer spoke of old Barnwell
county as "gopher county." Of course
the reference was made also to the
portion of old Barnwell county new
forming Bamberg county. The writei
now lives in the State of Texas, and
has made that part of the country his
home for many years, and doubtless
is not informed that the best portior
of the old county is formed into a
county, making one of the most progressive
counties in the State, witl
its capital at the thriving little towr

on old Barnwell, the mother county
for there is plenty of progress anc
thrift to be found over there, anc
some of as good land as to be founc
in the State.
I spoke of Barnwell as the mothe]
county. We citizens are proud tc
claim this distinction, and true it is
a distinction if heritage and patriot
ism means anything. We have onlj
to trace the record of South Caro
lina's history from her infancy anc
see therein the "beacons" character
ized in her noble sons, of which lives
and of such are vital to the nation's
:ause. And in scanning its page:
from the first recognition of freedon
jy the feeble colonies we turn th<
r:archlight upon old Barnwell distric
and we find celebrities and thougl
somewhat provincial or circumscrib
ed, these lives add to help make vita
the nation's stern stand for freedon
against the British crown.
We see neighbors fighting neigh
bors (the so-called Tories) for th<
perpetuation of the declaration of in
dependence. We behold Tarletoi
Brown, of "revolutionary fame,'
crossing the Savannah river in i
bateau under fire from the Torie
from the river banks. His friends
two in number, lying fiat in the boa
to secure themselves from the bullet
falling thick around, while Col
Brown fearlessly steers the boat ii
safety, only to receive a few bulle
punctures through his overcoat.
And before turning upon the dawj
of the present we behold a record o
a noble sacrifice made by heroic son
in the great civil strife of '61 to '65
Hardly these sufficiently renowned t
be disclosed in the pages of Sout]
Carolina history save Gen. Hagood
he being the distinguished characte
who once adorned the office of chie
executive of our great common
wealth.
But with gratification we recal
Captain Lancaster and Col. Gantl
These names alone serve a synonyi
for bravery! The latter named hav
answered the call of the great com
mander of the skies.

VALUES KISS AT $4,000.
Mrs. McFadden Says Real Estate Mai
Stole One from Her.
Four thousand dollars is the pric<
Mrs.^ Katherine McFadden, wife o
Dr. George F. McFadden, a dentist
of 13 North Sixtieth street, Philadel
phia, is demanding for one kiss, al
leged to have been forcibly stoler
from her by Everett Nock, a Wesi
Philadelphia real estate dealer. In ?
civil suit, he is accused of throwing
his arms about her and implanting ?
smack on the right cheek, whil<
showing her a suite of rooms h(
wished to rent.
According to the petition filed
Mrs. McFadden visited Nock's offic<
in* search of apartments. The rea
estate man took her to a house a lit
tie distance from the office. Then, ir
a room on the second floor, according
to the plaintiff, Nock threw his arms
about Mrs. McFadden and salutec
ner cneeu. .virs. ivicr auutru buicamci
and left the building. She told hei
husband, and the dentist swore out ?
warrant for Xock.
The real estate man, who is married
and has a family, is indignant.
"It's all nonsense," he declared.
"I did not kiss Mrs. McFadden; 1
have no desire to kiss her, and, il
you ask me right now, I wouldn't
kiss her."
Mrs. McFadden, who is the mother
of two children, is a very handsome
woman.
