for two miles.
It is estimated that 50,000 acres of
pooled tobacco in Henderson county
alone have been destroyed and one tobacco
plantation of 200 acres is a total
loss. All streams are out of their
banks and many bridges have been
carried away. The tracks of the Illinois
Central railroad near Highland
Creek are under water for two miles.
No lives are reported lost but hundreds
of cattle, sheep and hogs were
swept away by the floods. Many fields
with the entire crops of tobacco, corn
and wheat were totally ruined. <
Crops on the hill lands were saved
but they were injured by the beating
rain. It has rained nearly every
day for the past three weeks. The
damage was principally in Henderson,

TO ANSWER FOR MURDER.
Ohio Convict Wanted for Old Crime
Committed in Another State.
Columbus, O., August 13.?When
Charles Clayton, alias Riley Price, is
released from the Ohio State penitentiary

have little chance to enjoy his freedom,
for a requisition has been
granted for his return to Illinois to
answer for a murder committed fifteen
years ago.
Clayton is now completing a fouryears'
sentence for horse stealing in
Franklin county. Some time after his
arrival at the prlson here he confessed
to the authorities that he had
committed murder in Illinois many
years ago and he wanted to be tried
for the crime in order that his conscience
might be eased.
The crime in Illinois had been all
but forgotten when a search of the
records following Clayton's confession
again brought the particulars to
light. The victim of the murder was
Clayton's sweetheart, a young lady of
an estimable family Following a
lover's quarel Clayton lured the girl
to the woods, beat her to death with
a club, according to his own confession,
and then hid the remains in
an abandoned well.

and was selling it.

KILLS TWO BROTHERS.
North Carolina Dentist Uses Gun
With Deadly Effect.
Clarence Pickens, a dentist of Weaverville,
nine miles from this city,
killed Rome and Furman Capps,
brothers, aged 25 and 30, also of
Weavervill, near his home. Pickens,
who claims he shot in self-defense,
surrendered to a deputy sheriff and
is now in jail. The shooting followed
a quarrel concerning the
rent of the house owned by the
Capps, in which the doctor lived. The
doctor claims that the men attacked
him with knives, and that he fired
only after he had been cut on the
chest and arms. Both of the deceased
were married.
About a year ago a jrounger brother
of the Capps was shot and killed
at Beaver Dam, three miles from
this city by Ben Morris, who is now
serving a 12-months' sentence in the
penitentiary.
There wefe no eye-witnesses to
the tragedy. The brothers fell in
their tracks and the only knives
found on or near the scene of the
shooting were found closed in each
of the dead men's pockets. Dr. Pickens's
wounds are two light cuts over
the heart and on his left arm. His
coat was literally cut to ribbons.
FORMS OF SELFISHNESS.
A Classification of the Most Violent
Types.
It always makes me righteously indignant
to see ..wo persons standing
side Dy siae on a muvmg ?iau?v<i,*,
thereby blocking the progress of the
man who has three minutes to make
his boat.
There are men in New York who go
through swinging doors with all eir
thoughts on the future. I'd hate to
set' down the number of people who
are injured by being knocked down
by heavy doors that selfish men forgot
to hold, but it is enormous.
Then there is the man who stops to
tell anecdotes to the paying teller
when you are about to overdraw your
account and make a quick get-away.
Time was when women were so
desperately selfish that they wore
their hats at the theatre, thus preventing
those behind from seeing the
play, but we have reformed most of
that. They only keep them on at
concerts, and as an orchestra is not
a fairy spectable?as a general thing
?no great harm is done.
But there is a good deal of selfishness
in the way that women run men
through with their hatpins in crowded
conveyances.
There is one type of woman whose
thought of self is almost heroic. She
is the one who, seeing a long line of
persons waiting at a window, goes up
to the head of the line and edges her
way in.
Of all forms of selfishness the
worst is not having a telephone in
your house. Selfishness! I know it's
selfishness, because at last I had a
telephone installed when I caught the
covert look of a neighbor who saw
me going across the street to use the
telephone in the house opposite. I
understood that look.
I once knew a man who said he
never had fish in his house because
he didn't like it nimself?and he
added: "My wife is very fond of it."
The poor woman was starving for
brain food, and ner husband wouldn't
let her have it because he himself
did not care for fish!
And it has always seemed to me
that a certain amount of selfishness
was displayed in this mad scramble
for standing room in the subway and
elevated trains in the rush hours.
And, finally, there is the selfish
man who is late for appointment.?

AUTOMOBLE "DEADLY WEAPON/1
Judge Declares Policeman Made
Wrong Charge Against Man.
Chicago, August 13.?Holding thai
a man who ran over a boy with an automobile
should have been arrested
on a charge of "assault with a deadlj
wagon," municiual Judge Gemmal]
yesterday expressed regret that he
could fine G. L. Binder, a chauffeur
only $100. Otis C. Heard, 12 years
old, appeared in court speechless and
paralyzed as the result of the accident.
"There has been an inexcusable
mistake on the part of the police ol
your arrest," said the judge. "Yor
are charged with plain assault. The
maximum fine is $100. Your onens?
really is assault with a deadly weapon,
carrying a sentence of six months
in the work house."
Oldest Woman in the World.
The claim of Frau Dutkiewitz, ol
Posen, born on February 21, 1785, tc
be the oldest woman in the world is
now contested by Mme. Baba Vasilka
who was born in May, 1784, in th<
little Bulgarian village of Bavelsko
where she has lived ever since. Th<
record of her birth is preserved in i
neighboring monastery of the Ortho
dox Greek faith.
She is the daughter of a peasan1
and has worked herself as a peasani
up till a comparatively recent date
For more than 100 years she regu
larly worked in the fields, accordinj
to the custom of her country, when
women are employed in all sorts o:
manual labor.
The events of her life up to th<
time when she attained the age of 8(
are far more distinctly impressed oi
her mind than the happenings of th<
last 46 years.
Her son, Todor, following th<
farming tradition, has also worked ii
the fields as a peasant nearly all hi:
life, but ne nas also tanen pan. 11
various wars and rebellions in th<
Balkan peninsula. He is not s<
fresh and vigorous as his mother, al
though he is still capable of doin,
a good day's work, and enjoying sucl
small luxuries of life as a pipe an<
the strong spirits drunk by the Bui
garian populace.
The oldest woman in the world i;
said to enjoy fairly good eye sigh
and good hearing, and she is able t<
walk without support. She lives 01
a pension paid to her by many o
her descendants, who number mor<
than 100.?Berlin Correspondence

Too Kind.
"Can you tell me," said the cool
looking young lady in white, confi
dentally approaching the young mai
at the soda fountain, "the mos
agreeable way to take castor oil?"
"Oh, yes, indeed," replied th?
man, his eyes brightening. "An<
while you are waiting," he added
"won't you have a glass of soda?"
"Oh, thank you," said the younj
lady, as he set it down before her
The day being hot, in a few moment:
she had drained the glass.
"Is the prescription ready?" sh<
asked sweetly, wiping her mouth.
The young man's eyes gleame<
with benevolence. "The prescrip
tion," he said, tapping the glass
"was in here."
"Do you mean to say I've dranl
it?" she screamed. "But it wasn'
for me; it was for my little brother!'
