Young Springfield, who two years ago took the life of his father, Thomas Springfield, of Greenville, will have to serve a sentence of two years in the State penitentitarv, for to-day the supreme court of South Carolina dismissed his appeal. Intensely dramatic was the killing of the elder Springfield on the night of December 30, 1908, and around the case centers much interest in the Piedmont section, where the Snrinefield familv resided. ! The appeal to the supreme court was especially with reference to certain testimony, relative to the exS-: eluding of which much argument was given. The Horse's Prayer. To thee, my master, I offer my prayer: Feed me, water and care for me, and when the day's work is done, iR provide me with shelter, a clean, dry bed, and a stall wide enough for me to lie down in comfort. Always be kind to me. Talk to ? me. Your voice often means as much v to me as the reins. Pet me sometimes, that I may serve you the more gladly and learn to love you. Do not jerk the reins, and do not whip me when going up hill. Never strike, beat or kick me when I do not understand what you want, but give me a chance to understand you. Watch me and if I fail to do your bidding, see if something is not wrong with my harness or feet. Do not check me so that I cannot have the free use of my head. If you insist that I wear blinders, so that I cannot see behind me as it was intended I should, I pray you to be careful that the blinders stand Well / I out from my eyes. Do not overload me, or hitch me where water will drop on me. Keep ; me well shod. Examine my teeth whep I do not eat; I may have an ulcerated tooth, and that, you know, is very painful. Do not tie my head in an unnatural position, or take away my best defense against flies and mosquitoes by cutting off my I cannot tell you when I am > thirsty, so give me cool, clear water often. Save me by all means in your power from that fatal disease?the glanders. I cannot tell in words when I am sick; so watch me, that by signs you may know my condition. Give me all possible shelter from the hot sun, and put a blanket oh me, not when I am working, but when I am standing in the cold. Never put a frosty bit in my mouth; first warm it by holding it a moment in your hands. I try to carry you and your burdens without a murmur, and wait patiently v . for you long nours or tne aay or nignt. Without the power ^to'choose my shoes or path, I sometimes fall on the hard pavements, which I have often prayed might not be of wood, but of such a nature as to give me a safe ? and sure footing. Remember that I j?,? - must be ready at any moment to lose ; my life in your service. And finally, 0 my master, when my useful strength is gone, do not turn me out to starve or freeze, or sell me to some cruel owner, to be slowly tortured or starved to death; but do thou, my master, take my life in the kindest way and your God will reward you here and hereafter. You will not consider me irreverent if I ask 1 this in the name of Him who was born in a stable. Amen.?Chicago , Progressive Thinker. |P?v/ ^, Those Pies of Boyhood.

Sixty Thousand Crates of Peaches Rotting in Georgia Town. Macon, Ga., July 14.?Sixty thousand crates of-peaches are rotting in Fort Valley, constituting a large portion of the Elberta crop, on account of failure of the refrigerator car companies to supply iced cars for yesterday's and to-day's harvest. The loss will run into thousands of dollars. according to advices received from there. The freight officials of the Central of Georgia are all on the scene tonight. vainly attempting to secure the nreoious iced cars from Armour & Co., who have the contract for delivery there to-night and last night. Xo relief, it is claimed, is in sight for 24 hours. J. F. Cutler., of the G., S. & F., announced to-night that the situation is somewhat relieved in the Thomaston and Woodbury districts on the Macon and Birmingham. Curtailment Figures. Spartanburg, July 12.?Reports showing that 3,622,000 spindles out of the 3,711,000 spindles represented in the South Carolina Cotton Manufacturers' Association will be stopped at least a portion of the time in July and August, were presented at the meeting of the association held this morning. Some of the mills represented in the association are not now and never have been in operation, thus making the curtailment movement practically unanimous. Clemson Board Wants More Time. Clemson College, >July 13.?The annual summer meeting of the Clemson board of trustees adjourned this afternoon. Xo action was taken to ward the election of a president. The arrangement by which W. M. Riggs has been acting as president was continued. The board authorized Acting President Riggs and Chairman Johnstone of the board to make such arrangements as they thought wise and necessary in regard to the conduct of the engineering department, of which Prof. Riggs is director. The board expresses itself as well pleased with the condition of affairs at the college, the business affairs being so thoroughly systematized as to meet the entire approval of the board, which felt that neither the college nor the people of the State could possibly lose anything under a continuance of the present arrangement until the board was thoroughly prepared to elect a permanent president. The same committee on the president was continued. Lived on 65 Cents a Week. The will of Nichilas Dale, a former newspaper man, of Pittsburg, Pa., who tiad lived for years a hermit-like life on 65 cents a week; as he boasted. was filed on Thursday, directing that $1,350, which he had saved, be forwarded to the Holy Land, to the "Sorrowful Mother and Blessed Virgin Church, erected 1,500 years ago in the path of the Cross." He wrote that he has long desired that all his worldly goods "shall be left in7 the last footsteps of Our Divine Lord on His last journey while yet in the flesh and blood." ' As a writer Mr. Dale was once well known here for his intimate acquaintance with the steel industry and its leaders, including Anderw Cornegie. The Branchville Depot. The railroad commission hds refused to accept the Southern Railway's plans for the Branchville passenger station enlargement. At the last session of the Legislature there was passed an act providing for the ejection of a new freight depot and calling for either a reconstruction of the present passenger station or the building of a new one. The plans for the enlargement of the passenger depot were submitted to the commission for approval and also for the city council's approval. When the plans were submitted to the commission a few days ago there was held at Branchville a meeting and the commission decided that the plans were inadequate. The commission has not yet decided as to the freight depot plans. It was stated at the office of the railroad commission in Columbia that the freight plans appear to be very nice. The city council also refused to approve the passenger station plans.

Trial bottle free at People's Drug Co., Bamberg. : v : . ' ' * * 4 .V'-r' ..r^ ~ COLUMBIA-AUGUSTA Trolley Line to be Built in the Near Future Connecting aCAiken. The Gervais street bridge property (the wagon and foot bridge across the Congaree at the western end of Gervais street) and the Saluda Power company are expected to change hands to-day, and the transflftion includes the assurance of the extension of the Aiken-Augusta trolley line to Columbia. James U. Jackson, of Augusta, who has been here for several days with the object of closing the negotiations and making the necessary payments, said last night that, in the absence of G. A. Guignard of the bridge company, in Sumter, he did not wish to give the public a statement. The substantial facts, however, became known yesterday, and there is not the slightest doubt that the purchase has for its principal and immediate object the building of the electric railway from Aiken to Columbia, connecting at Aiken with the line to Augusta, Mr. Jackson being the president of the company owning the latter line. The purchase price for all the properties is to be a sum somewhat in excess of $100,000, and the area of land included is a little more than 1,000 acres. Mr. Jackson, it is believed, represents the E. H. Harriman estate interests. It was said yesterday when the new owners of the bridge prepare to convert the old bridge to trolley purposes they will propose to the city of Columbia, on terms to be arranged later, that a new bridge be constructed with passage ways for automobiles and horse-drawn vehicles. This arrangement would probably carry with it concessions on the part of the city to the electric railway company in respect to facilities that the latter would need in the city. Of course, ' J ' - - - 1 - A ^ ? V-v A A i-v r\ inese aeians nave uuu ,vci uccu tuusidered and what is said of them is for the most part conjectural. It is only certain that the purchase of the bridge and other properties is ready for consummation to-day and that Mr. (Jackson is here for that purpose, prepared to make payment. The distance as the crow flies between Aiken and Columbia is almost fifty miles and tjie distance by trolley from Aiken to Augusta is about twenty-five. The line to Columbia will probably be about 85 or 90 miles in length. What the building of the line will mean to Columbia and the rich and prosperous section of country between Columbia a<nd Aiken affords a fruitful topic for the play of the imagination, but the development that wi/l follow from it is not to be easily exaggerated. The farms along the line will be placed within an hour or at most 2 hours of 2 large urban markets for the sale and shipment by steam of their produce and the whole belt that the line will penetrate will take on a new and larger commercial life. The plan has been under discussion for years, Mr. Jackson's activities having been enlisted in it from the first, and the completion of this successful step, which seems to guarantee its early consummation, must be a matter of immense gratification to him as well as to the communities to be benefited by it.?Columbia State. Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the eustachian tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are_^ caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, 0.

Darlington, July 15.?Darlington is assured of another cotton mill. About a year ago the matter was agitated, but for good reasons was not pushed to a conclusion. However, at this time, it appears there is a determination to have the mill. A meeting yesterday of those interested was held in the Bank of Darlington, and some preliminary steps taken looking to an immediate organization and the building of the mill. It is proposed to begin with $300,000, and in a short time double the capacity, having a mill with 40,000 spindles. Messrs. D. T. McKeithan, L. E. Williamson, C. B. Edwards and S. Vaughan are a committee for the purpose of completing the preliminary work, and this work, it is be lievea, will oe accompnsnea wuam the next few days. ??? Overheard on the Stairs. A Washington man inadvertently overheard some tender exchanges between a recently betrothed coupte; who, it chanced, attended some'socfal function at the national capital to which the aforesaid Washingtonian was also asked. It was on the stairs that the happy pair chose to talk the matter over, and it was from the recesses of an alcove, whither he had gone to get his coat, that the Washingtonian proved to be the accidental recipient of the couple's confidence. v "Just think, dear heart!" exclaimed the young woman. "You proposed to me but twenty-four hours ago!" "Yes, sweetheart," came in thrilling tones from the fortunate man, "and it seems as though it were but yesterday!"?Lippincott's.'

Gaffney, July 15.?While out driving this afternoon, Tom Lockhart, a mechanic employed at the Irene Mill, and Andy Fortenberry, a blacksmith, got into an altercation which ended by Fortenberry cutting Lockhart across the left shoulder and stabbing him deeply in the back, just above the waist. Lockhart then got out of the buggy and walked to his hotel, a distance of almost a mile. He bled profusely and is in a serious condition, although the physician, Dr. J. N. Nesbitt, states that the cuts are Dot necessarily fatal. Both m$n were drunk. Fortenberry was arrested just after the cut' ting, by Officer Hallman, and taken to jail.
