Cheraw, Oct. 24.?Emanuel Gillespie, colored, and his son 19 years old, were drinking heavily and quarrelling all day yesterday, on Mr. G. A. Sherrill's plantation, four miles north of town.

CARRIED OFF BY A LION. - \ i Thrilling Experience of a Ranger in the Transvaal. Two men at least have given accounts of their sensations when they were carried off by lions?the great explorer Livingstone and a man named Wolhuter, a ranger of game preserves in the Transvaal. Wolhuter's i adventure is not secondary in interest to Livingstone's experience. His story, which was attested by the certificate bf the magistrate of the district, was substantially as follows: < He was riding along a Kafir path about an hour after sunset. It had been a long march, and he had push- 1 ed on ahead of his compaions. His ! dag barked at something, and a moment later Wolhuter saw a lion crouching close to him on the right hand side. The ranger turned his horse sharply, a circumstance that no doubt caused the lion to miss the spring. Wolhuter was unseated. At the i saem moment he saw another lion 1 coming from the opposite direction. The horse rushed off, with the first , lion in pursuit, and the second lion picked Wolhuter up almost before he touched the ground and gripped him 1 by the right shoulder in such a posi- ( tion that he was face up, with his legs and body dragging underneath the beast. The lion trotted down the path uttering a loud, growling, purring noise. Wolhuter's sensations were not 1 those of Livingstone, who said he was in a state of apathy, with entire absence of pain during the time the lion had him. The game ranger suffered terribly, both mentally and physically, and saw no possible way of escape. The lion took him nearly 200 yards. Suddenly Wolhuter bethought him of his sheath knife, which he carried in his belt behind his right hip. On reaching a large tree with overhanging roots the lion stopped, whereupon Wolhuter stabbed him twice in the side with his left hand. It was ascerI foinod oftopmaW fhaf tVia first ahib touched the bottom of the heart and that the second one silt it down for some distance. The lion immediately dropped Wolhuter, and again the game ranger struck him, this time in the throat, severing an artery. The lion jumped back and stood facing him, growling. Wolhutier scrambled to his feet, shouting at the top of /his lungs. He expected the beast to come at him again, but it did not. Instead, it turned slowly and, still growling, went a few paces. Soon its growls turned to moans. These, in turn, ceased, and the ranger knew that the best was then dead. Wolhuter got up the tree as fast as his injured arm would permit, and hardly was he seated when the first lion, which had been after the horse, came back on the trail of blood. By this time the plucky ranger was so faint that he tied himself to" the tree to prevent himself from falling out. He was found by his companions, who took him to a place of safety. ' The lion he killed was an old male, 1 and the weapon used was an ordinary sheath knife.?New York Tribune. Fertilizer Tags Yield Big Amount. _____ I The sum of $224,644.95 has been received since the first of the year from the sale of fertilizer tags. This fund goes to Clemson College. The total amount received from the tax last year was approximately $202,000. The total amount received to this date last year was $185,396.16. It is estimated that approximately $240,000 will be received during the year from the tax. At the annual convention of the State Farmers' Union there was a resolution passed, endorsing the proposition of increasing the number of free scholarships at Clemson College. The argument used was that the scholarships have not been increased, although when :the free tuition was granted on this basis only $150,000 was received from the tag tax. This means that the farmers of South Carolina have used nearly 1,000,000 tons of fertilizer this year, as there is a tax of 25 cents on every ton sold. It is expected that the matter of increasing the scholarships at Clemson will be brought up at the next session of the general assembly. There may be a movement started to use part of the $250,000 for agricultural high schools to be located in several sections of the State. Husband "Turned Loose.
