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

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

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

Murray's objections to the alleged attentions
of Cole to Mrs. Murray are
given as the cause of the crimes.
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. Then he went

SENATOR M'LAURIN DEAD.
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

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

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.

POLICEMAN ACCUSED OF THEFT.
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
