A COMPLICATED CASE.
Veteran Wants to Get Back Into
Soldiers' Home.
Columbia, July 13.?Another complication
has arisen in connection
with the effort of veteran F. Douglas
Walker to secure re-admission to
the Confederate home here. <
Indefinitely furlonged by the
board of commissioners on May, after
a hearing, for "unbecoming behavior
and disturbing the peace of <
the institution," this sentence taking
the place of a previous one car- i
rying sixty days' suspension, Mr.
Walker has supported himself dur- <
Ing the past two and a half months <
by working as night chaingang guard
for Supervisor S. H. Owens, of Rich- ?
land county. When that position was i
abolished Mr. Walker took his savings
and went to Charleston to get :
,
up a petition which is now before the
board, praying for reinstatement and
saying that unless this is granted he
will have to spend his last days in
tie county almshouse.
Mr. Walker/says that he regrets
his indiscretion and is ready to make '
all possible amends. His friends say 1
that his offense consisted in saying '
% in the presence of the matron, Mrs. '
W. D. Starling, inadvertively, "He's
. too damned deaf," in explaining why '
J a comrade could not understand what 1
she was telling him.
The complication by the fact that (
the present inmates of the home have 1
\ signed a counter-petition, which will 1
be presented to the board also, pray- 1
- i^g that Mr. Walker be not reinst^ted.
Friends of Mr. Walker say this 1
netltion is not to be taken seriously. ]
They point out that the inmates, be- ?
7 v . ing under the complaint's discip- (
line, would hardly risk the displeas- '
ure of that officer by petitioning for *
the reinstatement of a^man he had J
caused to be discharged. *
Thrown from Mule.
'Fountain Inn, July 12.?Thrown
from his mule and becoming entanEy.'?':
Sled in the gear, Stewart Jones, a 1
well-known farmer, suffered fatal in- 1
gjv.. juries to-night about seven of eifgh 1
juries to-night about 7 or 8 o'clock, 1
v ; V near his home five miles out from t
jp Simpsonville.
Mr. Jones, had been at work in his 2
field, and was riding home at the *
close of the day's work. As he was J
Bearing the house, the mule became c
||/ ,' * frightened and made a plunge, and ]
" Mr. Jones was thrown from the back 1
^ ' : ? of the ahimal. Parts of his body be- c
came entangled in the plowing har- 2
r . ness, and the man was dragged and ?
^ stepped upon by, the mule, receiv
^ V ing injuries from which he died with- 1
iPpiffir in a short time.
Must Pay Liquor Tax. i
bs '
. Washington, July 15.?Sections of I
kvN.. the country which receive their intox- 1
|p; ? icating stimulents in the guise of per- c
?fk- fumes, essences, medicines or drugs, r
have been delivered a body blow by 1
fr ^ Commissioner Cabell, of the internal c
revenue bureau, who has given out a t
list .of more than 200 preparations *
Ev which hereafter may be handled by
Ikk ' drug stores only after the government t
IfBR-'jy liquor license is paid. 1'
- : Treasury department officials said E
g?f-V" they believed that many of these ?
I'k/ ^ preparations were concocted mainly r
for sale in "dry" territories, where a
the prohibition laws make it impos- cl
Bp*; v sible, legally, to obtain anything with
a liquor flavor.- t
?v s ' . It is estimated there are 40,00^ 1
druggists in the United States, slight- r
ly more than half of whom pay the t
$25 yearly tax* which permits them e
to sell the preparations involved, d
Other stores which continue to sell p
these mixtures will now be required

|Father's Death Avenged. n
New York, July 14.?Joseph Man- r
zella, an Italiah, proprietor of a saloon f
& and grocery at St. Phillip and De- c
catur streets, fell a victim to the so- i
|jf called "Black Hand Society" here to- s
day, but his death was avenged a iew v
seconds later, when his seventeen- j
year-old daughter shot and killed the
b, ' assassin as he was attempting to escape.
? Manzella had recently received i
jfc . many letters demanding money. They
were signed "Black Hand Society." s
? Y Shortly before 11 o'clock to-day an
Italian, apparently about thirty years j
old, caHed at the store and asked if i
any money was forthcoming. When
ordered out he shot Manzella in the g
breast. j
As Manzella fell he drew his revolver
and fired at the assassin b^it it t
has not been definitely established j
that the bullet found its mark. Young
Josephine Manzella had rushed into (

When the police arrived the girl <
was bending over the dead body of
her father weeping. The dead body 1
; of his slayer lay in the gutter outside s
^ with three bullet wounds near the
heart. The assassin was identified ]
as Guiseppe Spennazzio, said to have i
emigrated from Sicily very recently. <
CHARGED WITH FORGERY.
W. L. Monley in Jail to Await Trial

Pickens, July 14.?W. L. Monlev
a young white man living about si?
miles above Pickens, was arrestee
this morning and lodged in jail
charged with forgery.
Monley got in trouble here about s
month ago about a check, but the
matter was settled by his paying the
check.
At the preliminary to-day the evidence
was such that he was sent up
fn rniirt and his hnnd fixed at $300
On failure to find a bondsman he was
committed to jail to await the September
term of court of Pickenj

chair. When Fry, who is a small
nan, closed the exchange for the
light, Murray challenged him to a
tight. It is not known whether it
vas a fair stand up fight or not,

natch for Murray, who is a professional
boxer and wrestler. At all
events, Murray hit Fry in the stomich,

Will Put Canal Through.
"}Vork on the Panama canal in its
magnitude would surprise any man
vho saw it for the first time," renarked
W* M. Hood, of Virginia, rep esentative
of a Cincinnati house, at
he Raleigh.
"I spent two months there this
ear and my first view of the big
litch almost took my breath away.
The efforts of the French to dig the
anal were pygmylike compared to
vhat our people are doing. This is
llustrated in the difference in size
>f the cars and engines used to haul
iway the dirt. It would be possible
ilmost to place one of the French
mgines in the cab of an American
ocomotive now in use.
"We have 35,000 men at work,
tnd the payroll is $1,500,000 a
nonth, or 42 tons of mohey. No
>aper money is used to pay the men,
>ecause of the fear that it might
arry germs of disease. The dirt is
lying so fast that it is marvelous,
rhere are 380 engines and 3,400
ars at work, and the time required
o unload 40 cars is less than 15
ninutes.
"The great work, of course, is in
he Culebra cut, which will take
onger to complete than any other
art of the ditch. It requires digging
down through 85 feet of solid
ock, to a base of 400 feet. They
ire using a ton of dynamite every
lay on this work alone.
"I have not the slightest doubt
hat the canal will be completed by
.915, Colonel Goethals is the best
nan that could be found to superinend
the work. He is on the job
very minute, and can be seen any
lay at 6:30 in the morning at some
art of the canal.
"One of ^he most surprising
hings to me wjis the perfect climate
nd sanitary conditions. I was there
or nearly eight weeks, and in all
hat time did not see a mosquito.
?hey have grass-cutters who go
ound every day, and grass is not
ermitted to grow within 100 feet
>f a house. The entire Canal Zone
s as clean as an army camp made
0 by Colonel Gorgas, who cleaned
lp Cuba and Manila."?Washington

HAMPTON ROADS BATTLE.
I An Eyewitness' Account of the Merrimac
and Monitor Fight.
R. P. Waller, of Norfolk, Va., who
: is at the Imperial, says that he watchl
ed through a spyglass the whole fight
, between the Merrimac and the Federal
fleet in Hampton Roads and
l the contest between the former and
i the Monitor.
i "I almost got into a row here in
New York a few years ago on account
of it," said Mr. Waller yesterday. "I
> came up here especially to see a cy.
clorama of the battle which was be5
ing exhibited, and the lecturer made
a lot of false statements which I
I felt called upon to correct. He bei
came angry, but when I explained
that I had seen the fight itself he
I apologized and said he didn't know
anything about it, but was speaking
the speech his employers had given
him.
"I was only a boy at the time of the
fight, but I had several friends on
' the Virginia, as the Merrimac had
been renamed after they turned her
J into an ironclad. There was young
Doming, for instance, a midshipman,
' whose father was an officer in the
1 Federal navy. Everybody in Norfolk
had relatives and friends on the
boat, and when the news spread that
she was going out to attack the
' Federal fleet people began to flock
early in the morning of March 8 to
the waterfront. I was at the end of
Main street, which was fully fourteen
miles from the scene of the fight,
but with the spyglass which I had
taken from the house near by I could
watch the things pretty closely for a
time, until the smoke got so thick
you couldn't see anything over there
at all.
"The Virginia wasn't much for
looks. Her boilers and engines were
of the kind that are used in saw
mills and she could make only about
four miles an hour. It was a beautiful
morning when she got around
the point and headed for the Federal
fleet, which was lying off the mouth
of the James river. I could see that
the first gun she fired was to leeward
and was not aimed at anything?a
sort of challenge. Then she was
lost in a cloud of smoke and we
could hear the big guns going for
what seemed to be hours. Then the
smoke lifted and we could make out
the Cumberland beginning to go
down by the head. The cro^d almost
went wild cheering.
"But it was a brave show she made
as she went down, with her guns
firing all the time until they reached
the water's edge. Some of them
we could see explode as the water
got to them.
"But the Congress did not make
any attempt to stand her ground.
She just made lickctsplit for Old
Point so as to get near Fortress
Monroe, but she struck on a bar as
we watched and then there was
more cheering. Well, I stayed down
there until it got dark, and you can
imagine everybody in Norfolk was
pretty much excited. I wsa awakened
about midnight by an explosion. It
was the Congress burning up. She

read a newspaper where I was.
"Of course nobody in Norfolk
knew anything about the Monitor,
and when the next morning word
spread about that there was something
over there near where the fight
had taken place the day before that
looked like a bean on a chip people
flocked out to the waterfront.
"The Virginia went out and the
two got busy as soon as the Virgina
got within range. Once in a while
w*e could not tell anything about
how the fight was going until the
Monitor drew off, her turret machinery
disabled, and went over and lay
under the guns of the fort.
"When the Virginia got back to
Norfolk her funnel looked like a
sieve. There wasn't a piece of it
as large as your hand which was not
riddled, but the only-serious damage
was that one of her guns had been
disabled. They fixed her up and she

Colics of Horses and Mules.
One of the most common and
alarming diseased conditions occurring
in horses and mules is that of
cone, rne term is a very loose one,
being generally used to denote any
abdominal pain whatever, and it
may readily be inferred that it therefore
occurrs in a great variety of diseases.
It is however only necessary
here to consider it under two heads,
viz., spasmodic colic and colic due to
impaction or obstruction of the
bowels.
Spasmodic colic is probably of the
most frequent occurrence and consists
of a violent contraction of the
muscles of the intestines causing intense
pain. It is usually brought on
by giving large amounts of cold water
to a horse over heated; by exposing
such a horse to chilling rains after
a hard drive; sometimes by giving
a heavy feed of green succulent
feed; and in horses that are predisposed
to it, a sudden change of diet
may be all that is necessary to
bring an attack on.
The condition is recognized by the
horse suddenly showing symptoms
of intense pain following some of
the causes above mentioned: stamping
violently with one hind foot;
looking around at the flanks with an
anxious expression; sweating; lying
down suddenly and rolling in agon/,
and with occasional periods of freedom
from pain followed by similar
attacks.
Colic from impaction; as the name
indicates, is a condition in which
there is a partial or complete stoppage
of the bowels, and may be
brought on by overloading the
stomach when in a tired-out condition
and particularly with dry, innutritious
feed. A faulty condition
of the teeth may also be ?a predisposing
feature on account of imperfect
mastication of the food. This
condition is accompanied by constipation
and the animal shows evidence
of a continuous dull pain as
compared with that of spasmodic
colic,, moving stiffly, lying down occasionally
and groaning due to absence
of violent movements. It also
runs a longer course usually than
spasmodic colic.
While it is always advisable to
consult a qualified veterinarian when
possible, this is frequently impracticable
on account of the small number
of veterinarians in this State, and
every horse owner ought to have
some intelligent idea as to how to
recognize and treat the condition.
In spasmodic colic it is evident
that a sedative or narcotic treatment
should be resorted to in order
to overcome the violent contraction
and relieve the pain. One of the
best remedies is fluid extract of Cannabis
indica, or Indian hemp given
in doses of six drams by the mouth.
This brings on drowsiness and as
a rule by the time the drowsiness
has worn off the colic has disappeared.
* Another good remedy is chloral
hydrate given in doses of one ounce
dissolved in a pint of water; or if a
hypodermic syringe be available, two
grains of sulphate of morphine may
be dissolved in a little water that has
been boiled and allowed to cool and
injected under the s"kin.
With impaction colic, entirely dif
-? _ .n - J - J i.1.^
lereni remedies are ueeueu, iue uuject
being to unload the intestines of
the offending material. For this
purpose five drams of aloes dissolved
in sc quart of hot water and conbined
with one ounce of oil of turpentine
and one dram of fluid extract
of nux vomica may be given or if
this is not conveniently at hand, one
and a half pints of linseed oil may
be given, and if there is evidence of
much pain three drams of canabis
indica may also be given. Copious
rectal injections of soap suds are
beneficial also. These remedies will
usually suffice, but if more drastic
treatment is necessary it should be
entrusted to a veterinarian.
Much can be done in the way of
prevention and by referring to the
causes mentioned the methods of prevention
will suggest themselves.
