DEATH POWERLESS.
Man Lives Despite Desperate Wounds
in His Head.
Camden, April 5.?Breaking all
known surgical records and showing
a vitality unprecedented, Adolph
Kelly is alive and conscious a month
after receiving two wounds, either of
which would have proved fatal to
almost anv one. He was ohonned in
the head with a hatchet, his brain
protruding through the wound, and
then shot through the forehead the
hall lodging inside the skin at the
back of his head. Despite these desperate
wounds Kelly has never lost
consciousness. His physicians, who
have marveled at his living this
long, express no hope of his ultimate
recovery, and state that he is growing
weaker and will probably die
before the end of the week.
Cut With Hatchet.
As a result of family trouble and
too much whiskey, Kelly, who lives
about six miles from Blaney, on February
6, threatened to kill all the
persons in his house. Brooks Cornwell,
a 17-year-old-boy, who is close
kin to Kellv. attempted to stop him.
Kelly resented it, and drew a pistol
and tried to shoot. Cornwell grabbed
a hatchet and with a mighty blow
? eut his head open, exposing his
fcrain.
|L This blow did not stop Kelly, and
| he still tried to shoot. Cornwell forced
the pistol against Kelly's head,
and in the struggle it went off, the
hall going through his forehead and
lodging in the back of his head.
Kelly still showed fight, and went
into his room and secured a shotgun,
and went through the house hunting
young Cornwell.
| Kelly's wife saw the condition that
he was in and begged him to lay
down, which he did.
Did Xot Lose Consciousness.
Kelly did not lose consciousness,
and recognized all of his farmhands
that came to see him that night.
He was operated on the same night
and has been lingering since under
the care of Drs. J. W. Team of Ridgeway,
Grisby of Blaney and Watson
of Columbia.
Dr. Team. stated over the phone
this afternoon that Kelly had been
losing ground for the past few days,
and that he did not think that he
eould last much longer.
He said that a piece of brain as
W? as a hen's earcr was Droiecting out
of the hatchet wound and that it
was impossible to get it back, and
that his right side was completely
paralyzed.
The side of the body opposite a
. brain wound of this kind is where
the paralysis sets in.
Somewhat Similar Case
I
The wounding of Mr. Anderson, a
section master, which occurred here
last year, is somewhat similar to this.
Mr. Anderson was struck by one of
his negro laborers with an axe, exposing
the brain on one side of the
head. He hovered between life and
death for several months. He was
operated on at a hospital in Rock
Hill and is now able to walk around,
although he is partly paralyzed on
one side.
Cornwell, who is in jail here, says
that Kelly has no hard feelings toward
him, and that if he lives there
will be no prosecution. He says that
- Kelly was drunk and that he (Cornl\
well) was protecting the ^women of
tho hniisp
BLEEDING THE COUNTRY.
Lame-duck Commissions Getting Too
Freqnent.
'
Ten members of the national monetary
commission now draw salaries
of $7,500 a year each. When the
commission was originally appointed,
the members were not paid salaries,
inasmuch as they were members of
the senate or the house and there
was a constitutional obstacle to the
drawing of two salaries by congress,
men. Inasmuch, however, as the
members of the commission in all
eases ceased to serve in congress with
the end of the last session, provision
was made for the payment of salaries
to them just before the adjorunJnent.
It is now a well-paid "lame
duck" commission, consisting or tne
following men: Ex-Senators Nelson
W. Aldrich, Julius Caesar Burrows,
Eugene Hale, Hernando D. Money,
Frank P. Flint, Henry M. Teller and
James P. Taliaferro, and ex-Representatives
James- MacLachlan, Geo.
W. Prince and Rpbert W. Bonynge.
The names of Messrs. Prince and
MacLachlan were added only last
month in order to provide places for
them in the public service. Another
"lame-duck" performance that deserves
criticism was the placing of
ex-Senator Warner of Missouri upon
t- the board of ordinance and fortifications
at a salary of $5,000 a year.
All such offices are practically sinecures,
and the effect is to pension indirectly
the occupants. The multiplication
of commissionerships under
the federal government should be investigated
rigidly by the Democratic
house.?Springfield Republican.

When the commission met several
days ago the members refused to

was for the purpose of organization.
Letter of Dismissal.
The following is the letter of the
winding-up commission to the Atlanta
firm of lawyers canceling the contract
made by the old commission:
"Referring to the agreement between

thereof, it is provided: 'This contract
may be terminated by the parties of
the second part on 30 days' notice in
writing to the parties of the first part,
but shall in no event be terminated
until the expiration of 90 days from

not, of course, affect the right of the
parties of the first part for their compensation
for such salvage as has
been recovered and such deductions
from account as have been procured
by the efforts of said parties of the

NEGROES BURNED.
Two Dead and Six Injured in Baggage
Car at Hartsville.
Hartsville, April 8.?One of the
most horrible accidents that have
ever occurred in Hartsville happened
this morning at 5 o'clock in the baggage
coach of the negro show, "Silas
Green," which was sidetracked in the
Atlantic Coast Line yards. After
closing an engagement of two days
here, the troupe had packed and was
ready to leave when fire was discovered
in the baggage car. In this car
u-pre oicrht nppnrn mpn fivp Shetland
ponies, a horse, a mule, trunks and
other paraphernalia. It appears that
the men having worked hard, had
fallen asleep. The doors of the car
were closed as a heavy rain had
fallen during the night. As the fire
burned on top and on the side, a natural
inference would be that the fire
was caused from ignited gas, but it is
denied that there was any gas in the
car.
Two Dead.
One man was taken from the car
dead, being horribly burned about the
face, hands and feet. One of the injured,
Willie Dundee, Hartsville negro,
died later. The others, six in
number, were sent to the hospital at
Sumter. All are very seriously hurt
Three are thought to be fatally injured.
The physicians of the town
have done all in their power to relieve
the suffering of the injured, the
wounds have been carefully dressed,
and it is hoped that three will recover.
Pitiful Sight.
It is a pitiful sight. The faces of
some are burned almost beyond recognition.
Three of the five Shetland ponies
are dead, and two are injured.
The show is entirely a negro aggregation.
There are 40 in the troupe,
which Jias headquarters at Milwaukee,
Wis. The owner is Ephriam
Williams, the business manager R. C.
Puggsley.
The show travels in two cars, and
its exhibits, consisting mostly of minstrel
numbers and acting ponies,
takes place in a large tent. It has

The show came here Thursday
morning from Darlington, and was
to have appeared in Timmonsville tonight
and Florence Monday and
Tuesday.
What effect the loss, amounting to
about $1,500, and the death and serious
injury of several of the employes
will have on the show is not
known. Much sympathy is felt here
for the sufferers.
Magistrate Tyson held an inquest
over the body of the negro who was
taken out dead.
DANDYISM IN 1772.
\
i
Extravagant Fashions of the Macaronies
in Georgian Days.
Dandyism developed a new phase
of quite richness during early Georgian
times and the court requisites
were stately figures in finely laced
shirts, long-skirted coats and goldclocked
stockings. The hats worn by
the beaux were modified reproductions
of those in fashion at Versailles
and the art of wearing them was
shown in the tilt; in fact, different
angles in the tilt identified the wearer's
status and locality.
In 1772 dandyism became again
paramount. A band of young bloods
returned from an extended tour
abroad, and while in Italy they had
contrived to get several new ideas
about dress into their somewhat
empty heads.
Fired with an ever growing sense
of their own importance as arbiters
of fashion, they formed themselves
into a group known as the Macaroni
club, in contra-distinction to the good
old-fashioned Beefsteak club of Lon
Ul/ii.
The Macaronies dressed their hair
in enormous side curls, with a
hideous knocker-like twist at the
back. With this exaggerated coiffure
a tiny hat was worn, which it
was correct for the wearer to raise
with his tasseled cane.
A soft white handkerchief was
tied in a huge bow under the Macaroni's
chin; his coat was short and
his tight knee breeches were made
of striped or flowered silk. Thus
garbed with innumerable dangling
seals, two watches at least, silk
stockings and diamond buckled
shoes, the dandy walked abroad, eminently
satisfied with himself and
quite convinced that his appearance
was greatly envied.?"Beau Brum

Dropsy?
Given up by Doctor
"I had dropsy, and was told
by my family physician that
there was no chance for me. My
family also gave me up. My
limbs and body were swollen
one-third larger than natural,
I water collected around my heart
and I had to be propped up in
bed to keep from smothering. I
took Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy
until I was entirely cured. This
was in 1902, and I am now able
to do any kind of work on myfarm.
My cure was certainly
marvelous."

been wonderfully successful in
