Panic at a Circus. pi New York, May 16.?A mistaken kl #cry of "the lion's loose" threw a cir?eus crowd of women and children into a frenzy of panic at Newark, N. J., ^ Vi ... this afternoon, and in the pell mell rush seven -children were badly __ crushed and cut, one man fell in a fit, a woman had her shoulder dis- W( located and many other persons suf- d( fered minor injuries. One little girl lo lad her jaw Done DroKen. The panic occurred outside the cir- w cus tent during the parade. Because n( of the size of the circus?one of the largest in the country?the streets ca were packed with sight-seers. Suddenly the band struck up. A mounted A policeman's horse took fright and ai bolted straight for the thick of the y( crowd. Before he could get it under u] control, somebody shouted, "a lion's loose," and the crowd went mad with fright. fc Adults and children rushed for the nearest point of safety, upsetting tl baby carriages and trampling upon the babies in their charge. Some al jumped into front yards, and a near- ir by grocer's shop was wrecked. The windows were broken, the couhters m overturned and the floor covered with tl o spoiled goods. a: ,. ?* * * -> if ' ,m TO HELP COAST COUNTIES. ?2r ?^ Ixpert Agricultural Workers Plan Campaign for Drainage. \ Columbia, May 13.?As a result of be recent conference at Clemson of be expert agricultural workers of he State, a systematic campaign to romote the drainage of the coast ounties of the State is to be inugurated on the 23rd of this-inonth nd kept up vigorously until definite ractical results are reached in all tie counties on the coast. The Clemson faculty, the various "ederal agricultural workers, Comlissioner Watson's department and tie high schools in that section will 11 concentrate their energies in this irection and now that some practial results have already been obtaini at several points in that section the armers will enthusiastically co-operte in the campaign, m Drainage work in Horry, Georgeiwn and Hampton counties being aleady well under way through farm emonstration work in those counts and the Charleston drainage ammission having already accomlished effective work in Charleston Dunty, the points of attack will be rst in Orangeburg and Dorchester aunties. The first meetings of exerts with the farmers will be at Jederg, on May 23, where Clemson two ears ago established an experiment :ation with a view to working on rainage principally. The Bowman igh school has accomplished good ?sults in that section and the neighoring farmers are taking interest in le work. The next day the experts will ride rer the Columbia and new Charles>n highway to Branchville where the sdburg performance will be repeat1 except that there will be no agrilltnrnl hi^h sobnnl students t'o ad ress there. The campaigners will th^n take a >st until the second week in June hen a big drainage, mass meeting : experts and farmers will be held ; Jedburg. It is the purpose of the impaigners thrbughout the work to duce local brickmakers to go in for te manufacture of tile for drainage lrposes. This form of draining ill be demonstrated at all points, [ready in two counties pipes are beg made at brickyards with great iccess. Heretofore all this had to i gotten in other States. '\ What a Daughter Can Do. There is so much a daughter can for her mother that it is hard to ; low where to begin. Suppose we start' with how she can dp with the house-work and <kre of e younger children. For years the mother has had the 1 tire charge of both, and it is time e was relieved: Patiently and uncomplaininly she ' ,s drudged along with no thoughts 1 it for her children's welfare and mfort. 1 It should be the daughter's joy, as ill as duty, to bring a little recrea>n and pleasure into her mother's ! e. A Remember, girls, that all your lives 1 ur mothers have been sacrificing emselves for you. . - ^ 11 jnow you nave a cnance iv revers*; ings. Your shoulders are young and rong; help lift the burden a little ' Dm the tired shoulders that have ' ] rne it so long. 1 Let her see that you appreciate all at she has done for you. . Take the heaviest part <Jf her 1 >ues-work off her hands. Make her stay in bed in the morng while you get the breakfast. ( Send her out to enjoy herself while u look aftdr the children. Of course, you cannot do this every ( ,y, but you can do your share of it. If you are a business woman, you nnot do much of this sort of thing, it there are many little pleasures >u can give her. Something pretty to wear will ease her. She is a woman, you iow, and likes pretty things as well you do. Confide in her and tell her your >pes and ambitions. She is better an all the girl friends in the world, id will never tell your secrets. The trouble about mothers is that e get so used to them that we >n't half appreciate them until .we se them. Then quickly enough we realise h^t all that' divine care and tenderjss meant. x No matter how much you do, you tn't begin to return all they have >ne for you, but do the best you can. little love and petting is always ipreciated by mothers; try itywith mrs and see if she does not thrive ader it. As for the girls wno taiK anu act, ^respectfully toward their mothers, >r them no criticism is too harsh. If they only knew what outsiders link of it, I think they would stop it. The prettiest girl in the world is" bsolutely devoid of charm if she is pertinent to her mother. Begin to-day, girls, and save your others all the worries you can; show lem all the consideration you can, nd give them all the love you can.? r DRAGGED TO DEATH. Most Horrible Fate That Befell , Bright Young Boy. Anthony Howard, the 13-year-ol son of Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Howard, o Pink Hill Township, Lenoir countj N. C., met a most horrible death in , runaway Saturday afternoon whil< rirtinp- n miilp from t.he field to th house to get shelter from an ap 'proaching storm. The lad was ploughing in th field a half mile from the house, am seeing the storm approaching, h hastily unhooked the mule from th plow, threw the trace chains acros the mule's withers, mounted am started home. The mule shied am threw the boy off. The boy's legs became entanglei in the chain, which held him fast This frightened the mule and he rai away, dragging the entangled bo; along the woods road which was ful of roots and stumps. Thus dragge* along young Howard'^ head and bod; were dashed against the ground roots and stumps until life was ex tinct. His skull was crushed ii several places and the bones of tin upper part of his body were broken To add to the horror of the situa tion the young boy's mother, seeing the mule coming dragging her son ran to render him assistance, bu was powerless to do so and the panii stricken mule dashed by her anc leaped the fence, with the boy dang ling to the plow chains^' How Prices Affect Children. Mabel Potter Daggett, who pre sents "A Brief for the Housewife" ir The Delineator for June, offers soim startling statements fcr careful con sideration. In order to make both ends meet the American family has tried everj possible expedient, she says. Many believing that children should hot b( born into privation, have limited th( number to what their income wil support'. Families with less forethought, who number three and four and five children, are sending thenout to earn their daily bread. Nev York City in 1904 issued 15,191 children's employment certificates, and in 1907 the figures had increased tc 29,843. Child labor is heavy toll for the nation to pay for high prices. Il these have been advanced by the operation of natural economic law it is time to restrain artificial laws and combinations that are forcing them higher. For this the voices ol ) women are calling in a demand that is growing more and more insistent. In New York the have held open-air street meetings to pass resolutions urging Congress to act in the matter, A year ago, when Congress was giving the country the "present tarifi schedule, women protested as never before in .history. From Chicago came an appeal with 20,000 signatures written on a bale of paper, which was drawn on a dray through the streets of Washington to the great white Capitol on the hill. The prohests that eathered from every State mounted into millions of names. They piled up by the yard on the tables ol the House Committee on Ways and Means and the Senate Committee od Finance?later to be swept into the oblivion of the waste-basket. This constitutent has no ballot. WThy bother about her? Then Congress proceeded to spend five months in fervid oratory by which was enacted a tariff taxing everything that the workingman buys, while his labor, the only thing he has to sell, was carelessly left on the free list along with rags and uncut diamonds. The housewife has little knowledge of politics. Her husband usually has told her that the tariff is something you have to have. It is an inherited national belief that you do. And mere feminine reasoning may be unorthodox in its logic. But what every woman knows is that there's somet-hinfr wrnngr with a nolitical economy that has made even little children, along with the necessities of life, a luxury in the American home! Duncan Turned Down. Spartanburg, May 14.?Judge T.. S Sease to-day refused to grant T. C Duncan, mayor-elect of Union, an order restraining the town of Union from paying from the collections ol the present year a number of notes given by the present administration amounting in all to $22,400. Aftei hearing all the arguments, Judgs Sease said: "The debts are valid, anc I am not going to issue an order tc keep ^.the town from paying them.' Bonfort's Wine and Spirit Circu lar, a leading organ of the liquoi trade, in a recent isue says: "The saloon business in this country is linipRc thp laws are so alterec as to rid the trade of the direputabh elements." In view of the fact tha almost all of last year saloons throughout the country have beei closing at the rate of forty per da: (as Dr. P. A. Baker reports), it is not surprising that the liquor trad< should find the outlook a depressing one. v-riW/icv-.'.J-V. .
