HIS BACK WAS BROKEN. But Pickering, a Football Player, is : Recovering. Utica, N. Y., Dec. 21.?Joseph Pickering, of Athens, Pa., the Caze- 1 novia seminary student who suffered ( a broken back during a football game ! at Hamilton nearly two months ago, * anrt who was hrouirht to a hospital in ( this city and operated upon by Dr. J. ( H. Glass, is rapidly recovering. The young man is able to leave his bed * daily for a time, and in a few weeks * will go to his home. Dr. Glass said: I "I have taken the cast oT the pa- tient and do not think it will be ? necessary to apply it again, as he c seems to be able to get along without 2 it. The paralysis is steadily subsid- A ing, and Mr. Pickering is learning to * walk with the support on either side. * Tfie whole arch of the fifth vertebrae 2 is missing but new bone cells are 1 forming, and in time nature will, I I believe, completely restore the broken 1 part. I expect that the young man in * time will be perfectly well again." 1 / ^ r>urit.r* ritrvs to pfatflt. I VXXI.XJXX * V ? ? - ?

NEGRO SHOT AT GEORGETOWN. h a s Bookkeeper for Lumber Company - Wounds Colored Laborer. v Georgetown, December 22.?As the e result of his insolence and attempted t attack upon Mr. P. H. Pow, a book- t keeper at the general office of the E Atlantic Coast Lumber Corporation, e a negro laborer at the mills lies v wounded and disabled to-night, having been shot in the side with a pistol in the hands of Mr. Pow, as the negro was about to throw a rock at ^ him. The hands were being paid off for the Christmas holidays when the la- o borer in question disputed his set- li tlement, cursed Mr. Pow and dared a him to come on the outside. Mr. E Pow, who, though a cripple, is fear- r less to the core, went out, when the J man picked up a rock, and was on t: the point of throwing it when the C report of the pistol rang out. The s negro dropped the missile and walk- b ed away to the lumber yard without P another word. He was seen suddenly C to fall to the ground and then it was ii found that he had been shot in the side. The wound is not regarded as a ( very serious. r ? r DOGS DRUNK ON FUMES. t> Pittsburg Curs Not Mad, But Merely a Exhilarated Like Some of the h Speeders. r Pittsburg, Dec. 20.?The Pittsburg . police department, after an exhaustive investigation, has decided that s the alleeed eDidemic of hydrophobia p among dogs here is little more or ^ less than a plain case of drunken- . ness among the dogs?drunkenness 1 from the fumes of gasoline escaping h from automobiles. o Captain of Police Ford declares he lias discovered the dogs became drunk like the chauffeurs who speed. Both ^ get intoxicated, he says, on gasoline f fumes. The captain explains that r there is a habit prevalent among the E chaffeurs of drinking gasoline. The fumes from this oil exhilirates the imbiber and gives him nerve to clip v curves and corners. c The dog acquires the gasoline fume drunk habit through running after automobiles. The dog then gets into c the same class as the gasoline exhilarated auto driver and does wild t and ungovernable things. The dogs ( are not mad, they're drunk, says the captain. I JEALOUSY CAUSES TRAGEDY'. I i Miner Slays His Wife, Her Mother, a \ Neighbor and Himself.

Cole, who was a son of Assistant Mine Inspector Perry C. Cole, was 22 years old. He was manager of a general store, in which he was slain. i Murray entered the store and with- j out a word shot Cole.

Mississippi Legislator Passes Away ] Very Suddenly. Jackson, Miss., December 22.? Jnited States Senator A. J. McLaurin , lied suddenly to-night at his home , n Brandon. Death was due to an at ack of heart failure and came with)ut the slightest warning at 6.30 ] >*oiock. i When the fatal stroke came upon ; lim Senator McLaurin was seated in : i rocking chair in front of the fire- , dace in his library. He suddenly fell . orward, without speaking a word, tnd life was extinct when members : )f his family reached his side. The ;wift summons of death followed vithin a few moments a remark by : Senator McLaurin that he was then : eeling better than he had felt at i my time since his recent severe ill- i less, resulting from an attack of 1 itomaine poisoning. No announce- i nent as to the funeral arrangements 1 lad been made at a late hour to- ] light. As to a successo'r to Senator Mc.aurin, it is pointed out that an aplointment might be immediately j uade by Governor Noel, or selected < >y the State Legislature, which will ( onvene early in January. Who Will Succeed Him. < Jackson, Miss., Dec. 22.?Former ( lovernor James K. Vardeman and j lenator-elect John Sharp Williams i ire mentioned in connection with i he selection of a successor to com- 1 dete the unexpired term of the late j lenator McLaurin. Several months ( go, Mr. Vardeman announced his c andidacy for the subsequent term. j Governor Noel stated to-night that ;e would not announce for some days s to whether he would appoint a uccessor to Senator McLaurin or re- 1 er the selection to the Legislature, rhich will convene in regular session J arly next month. Should he make he selection, however, he stated that J he names of Congressmen Byrd, lowers and Candler and several othrs would be considered in connection rith the appointment. REQUISITION REFUSED. 1 c lovernor of Tennessee Declines to Surrender Man Wanted. Columbia, Dec. 22.?The question f the comity of States will very tkely be brought into discussion on ccount of the refusal of Governor 1 s 'atterson, of Tennessee, to honor the equisition of Governor Ansel for C. . Hebert, whom the Richland coun- " y solicitor is trying to bring back to t lolumbia to stand trial here for conpiracy in connection with the deal etween the Seminole Securities Coinany and the Southern Life of North !arolina. Hebert has been arrested a Chattanooga. The refusal came in the nature of shcrt letter from the private secetary of Governor Patterson, which ead: "I am directed by Governor Paterson to inform you that for good nd sufficient reasons presented to im he has declined to honor, your equsition for C. J. Hebert." This is the first time in Governor inset's administration that a requiition has been so treated. Governor k.nsel is in Washington; so, thereore, little could be learned concerning the incident. When he returns ie will very likely write the Govt rnor >f Tennessee for an explanation. Secretary Bethea stated to-night hat Governor Ansel would very irobably take the matter up on his eturn and ask the Governor of Tentessee why the requisiton had not ieen honored. The proceeding is a ery unusual one, and the letter reeived here to-day gave no intimation c frvr + V, a rnfllCQ 1 tfl hnn 'I ILLC lcaouuo iUi i VLUtfUA vv >r the request of Governor Ansel. A few days ago it was announced hat Hebert had een arrested in Chattanooga and that requisition pa* lers had been sent. The Seminole* scandal is too well ^ mown to need rehearsing and Hebert s one of those who is charged with ?rong-doing in connection with the , 'deal." | Had to Yell. Two women walking along one of he business thoroughfares of New fork, heard a great shouting of "Ex- < ry, extry," and looked about to see j vhere all the noise was coming from, ays an exchange. Across the street they spied one rery small newsboy shouting with all J lis might. ' One of the women, attracting the )oy's attention, called him to her and )ought a paper; then, as she dropped ;he pennies into the little fellow's I land she said: "You musn't make so much noise, ny little man; you can sell your pa>ers just as well without yelling so." For half a second the boy looked up it her in surprise, the exclaimed: "You don't understand, missus; 'vnn'vft ffot to veil like hell to make a iving in New York." There is no sort of wrong deed of svhich a man can bear the punishment alone; you can't isolate yourself and say that the evil which is in you shall not spread Men's lives are as thorDughly blended with each other as the air they breathe; evil spreads as necessarily as disease.?George Eliot. NEGRO KILLED AT HOT SUPPER. Merry-Making in Aiken County ReSuits in Fatal Fracas. Aiken, December 22.?Coroner Johnson returned yesterday from Jackson, where he went to hold an inriuest over the remains of Henry Daniels, who was shot and killed on Saturday. Grant Sapp, another negro, is charged with the killing. It appears that on Saturday night a "hot supper" was going on at the house of Johnson Jones, near Jackson station. About everybody got drunk, including the killer and the killed. Shots were tired right and left, and Sapp got one in his leg. A few minutes after Sapp accosted Daniels and charged him with shooting him in the leg. This Daniels stoutly denied, and they clashed. After being parted, Daniels went out of the house, and just as he got outside. shot was fired from within, from the direction of Sapp, who denies that tie even had a pistol. Sapp is in jail. There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other iiseases put together, and until the ast few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years loctors pronounced it a local disease md prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable, science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore equires constitutional treatment. Ball's Catarrh Cure, manufactured >y F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, s the only constitutional cure on the narket. It is taken internally in loses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. t acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They )ffer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure.

Magistrate Dismisses Case Against New Brookland Officer. Lexington, December 22.?A case without a parallel in the Court anlals of this county, and probably mique in this State, was disposed )f by Magistrate Thos. L. Harman esterday. John Sturkie, chief of police of the own of New Brookland, was given i preliminary hearing upon the iharge of stealing $700 from the Person of Mrs. John Lucas, of Swanlea, on the night of December 8. The whole case seems to be ihrouded in mystery. On the night n question Sturkie was on his reurn trip from Orangeburg, having ,rone down on a horse-trading expelition. He stopped over in Swansea ind spent the night with his nephew, fohn Lucas. On he same dayt Mrs. -.ucas had received, it was alleged, >700 in settlement for a piece of >roperty she had sold to George Wiliams. Mrs. Lucas, so it was stated, ;ewed the money up in a small bag md tied it around her waist next ;o her body, beneath her other wearng apparel. Early in the evening John Sturkie irrived at the house. Sturkie and ^ucas slept together in a room adorning that of Mrs. Lucas. Some ;ime during the night Mrs. Lucas leard Sturkie tell her husband that ic W Cill icu vv a lc i , aiiu uutao uii^y^u lim to the pump on the porch. Sturxie went out and remained about ;hree-quarters of an hour, according :o the statment of Mrs. Lucas, but ?he thought there was nothing strange in that. Strange as it seemed, Mrs. Lucas at that time had not nissed the money bag, but when her lusband and Sturkie arose in the Horning, she discovered that the bag containing the treasure had been clipped off next to her body and the Honey was gone. John Sturkie was in the house, but could it be possible that he would rob his neice of the money she had secured from her parents' estate? rhat seemed absurd to Lucas and tiis wife at first, but later developments caused suspicion to rest upon dim. In the stable, in which Sturfeie's mule was kept, was found the identical piece of paper in which the money was wrapped, and this, it is said, led to his arrest on Saturday. At the preliminary yesterday, the defendant was represented by Ex Senator Sharpe, T. C. Sturkie, F. E. Dreher and W. W. Hawes, and Mrs. Lucas underwent a most grilling examination by Mr. Sharpe, who sought to make it appear that the woman knew where the money was. There was absolutely nothing to show that Sturkie had taken the money, except the finding of the piece of paper in the stable where his mule was kept, and the fact that he was the only person in the house. Magistrate Harman dismissed the case in short order, and the mystery remains deeper now than when first it came to light. The prosecution was represented by County Superintendent of Education A. D. Martin. The things that give us the greater blessings are the things we do for others and not those which others do for us. I t J. F. CARTER | i Attomey-at-Law t t BAMBERG, S. C.
