THE PHANTOM HOST.

Sank down among the lillies, th With folded wings to rest. r * Then to that mystic music, Cj Through the forest twilight aisle, Passed a host with muffled footsteps, M * x?.i 1_ a cIa in martial ran* auu uic.

SHOT KILLED LITTLE GIRL. : Accidental Discharge of Shot Gui Fatal in Newberry. Newberry, August 24.?Marie, tb( , 7-year-old daughter of Mr. B. B . Sloan, who lives about three and one half miles from the city, died 01 , Tuesday night as the result of a horrible accident which she suffered ai ; about noon. She was sitting in the' door of the home shelling peas wher a shot gun, which was leaning againsl the wall in a corner, in some waj slipped or fell to the floor with suet violence as to be discharged, the load , tearing off the little girl's right leg about midway between the foot anc . the knee. Drs. W. E. Pelham, R. D. Mower i W. A. Dunn and J. K. Gilder wers . called in. Amputation was decided upon as the only hope of saving th i child's life, and the leg was amputated about two inches below th( knee. The operation was performed . by Drs. Pelham and Dunn, assisted , by Dr. Gilder, and the chloroform was administered by Dr. Mower. It was a very skilful operation, but the child died from the shock resulting fron: the wound, from which, it is statec by the physicians, there was practically no reaction. Mr. Sloan and his family were living in a small house on his place while he was having some repairs made on his dwelling house. It was in this temporary abode that the accident occurred.

While Consul General Wilder, o] Shanghai was on the Pacific coasl waiting to meet President Taft, thee on his Western trip, he spoke before the students of Pomona College one diay, and among, other things remarked on how few Americans really learn to speak the Chinese language, "Some people," he said, "live as long as 20 years in China and never learn more than a dozen Chinese expressions. But not so my little girl. She used to meet me each evening with some new Chinese expressior which she had learned during the day. "Now, the Chisene language, like the Japanese, is full of honorifices: and I fondly imagined one evening when my girl greeted me with some entirely new expressions, that she was saying something like this: 'Here comes the honorable personage, my father.' "To verify my guess, I askea a little Chinese boy to translate. At firsl he was rather backward, but I urged him till he finally said: " 'Your excellency, your daughter says, 'Here comes that wooden-headed bottle.' Yes, there are some surprises in Chinese."?Youth's Companion. It Saved His Leg. "All thought I'd lose my leg.' writes J. A.

Daniel T. _avis, who lives about ] . five miles from Barnard, Madison j - county, is the iDventor of perhaps j 1 one of the most remarkable clocks j - that has ever been invented since the j t original clock was invented. Robert j ; R. Reynolds, the Democratic candi- j * l date for solicitor of the fifteenth judi- j t cial district who has just returned j r from a trip to Madison county, was i i at Mr. Davis's house this week and j I was shown the model by the inven- 3 5 tor. ] I Besides being equipped with the or- j dinary hands for marking the sec- j . onds, minutes and hours and also j - having an arrangement for showing ^ I the day, month and year, this ingeni ious timepiece has one face which in dicates the- exact position of the sun 1 i during each hour of the day, while a i I similar face indicates the position t I and phase of the moon when it Is vis- . i ible. This device has required con5 siderable mechanical genius. Upon I the clock face, at the exact time of i the rising of the sun each morning, l there appears a miniature sun and this rises as the sun and disappears at the exact time of sunset. The de vice showing the position of the moon is equally ingenous, if not more in3 genious than that of the sun, for it > shows quarters and full moon. The application for a patent is now pending at the patent office at Washington. v Mr. Davis is 65 years of age and ' has a wonderfully inventive mind. He ' has been working on this model for ? 1 some while. His skill is even more " remarkable from the fact that he was not enabled to have even a com" mon school education, being neither ^ able to read nor write. He has a ] comfortable home in Madison county. ?Asheville Gazette News. Advertising the Southern. Washington, D. C., August 17.? F President Finley, of the Southern t Railway company, being asked toi day about the policy of that company > relative to the validation of order > notify bills of lading for export cot ton, said: "The management w of the South. em Railway company recognizes the i great commercial importance of this ' subject, and will do all that it prop erly can to promote confidence in the = markets of the world in its bills of : lading. It is believed that the ef- V l fective enforcement of certain busi ness precautions will go far to satisfy any doubt which now exists as a re suit of certain alleged manipulation . by shippers of order notify bills of . lading for export cotton last season, ! for which the railroads were in no s way responsible. ! "The system of issuing bills of lad- (0 ' ing was the subject of a special con- al ference between the carriers and ** ' bankers. As a result of this confer- in : ence, which was held at White Sul- tr ^ phur Springs, W. Va., on the 19th & ultimo, the Southern Railway com' pany will arrange, beginning on Sep tember 1, 1910, to make effective the ^ safeguards surrounding the issue of order notify bills of lading which ss were then agreed upon. Among | other things agreed upon tending to , improve the system of issuing order notify bills of lading for export cot; I ton, these regulations provide for a : bill of lading signature certificate 1 which will be signed and attached, on behalf of the railroad company by a ] validation officer, to each other notify - bill of lading for export cotton issued by agents of the company authorized to issue such bills of lading. Each validation certificate will set forth that the agent who has signed the bill ' of lading is the regularly appointed J agent of the company, and. as such, is authorized to sign bills of lading I In accordance with the regulations [of the company, and that the signature on the attached order notify bill j of lading is his signature. The certificate will be irremovably attached J to the bill of lading covered by it, q and, as an additional safeguard, the ^ ' bill of lading, in addition to its own f number, will bear the number of the certificate issued in connection with 11 it. Agents will be instructed not to j sign bills of lading until the cotton is in the possession of the railway company. j "Realizing the importance of this . matter, the officers in charge are in. structed to adopt every precaution to ^ ' make the regulations effective, es| pecially that prohibiting the issue of p these bills of lading before cotton = 1 has been received by the carrier. It 1 is believed that the effect of these ? safeguards will be to prevent any 5 such manipulation of bills of lading as 5 it is alleged was practiced in connec? tion with last' year's crop, but, as I ~ have said, for which the railways 1 were in no way responsible."
