No Doubt Inherited the Taste for Liquor from Her Father. There was a pathetic scene in the I police court this morning when Justice Pugh sentenced to the workhouse" as a habitual drunkard a young woman of refinement and eduV cation, who confessed that in spite of the prayers and efforts of her mother, she was unable to conquer her love . for drink. With tears in her eyes pfc, the young woman pleaded for anothp? er chance to reform. The police, |yj* however, showed by their reports gn',: that sue had Deen arrested again pi and again and, indeed, had already , served several terms in the workglfcj: house. The trial developed that the ter V young woman is the daughter of a man formerly well known in Baltip*:. more as a leader in his profession, a man of brilliant attainment, whose l own weakness, however, had cost him every important position he had. In the days of his affluence he had given his daughter every advantage of education and she had lived four . years in Europe, where she acquired : the mastery of every foreign language. On his death she and her mother removed to Washington, where her ability as a linguist easily secur; ed for her an important position as a translator in the department of state. During the five years that she has been in Washington this young woman has translated documents of international importance, and her work was always so faultlessly done that on several occasions the departty ment found it necessary to send important documents to her, even when she was confined to the workhouse. k A woman of beauty and of refinement, she was welcomed into Washington society with eagerness, and the hospitality offered Jier in Washington homes awakened the dormant love for liquor which she may have inherited. The desire for liquor finally conquered her. A few days ago she was picked up in the streets hopelessly drunk, and to-day she left the court for a year's detention af the workhouse. During her trial her mother sat by her side, heartbroken. ?Washington special to Baltimore American. That valuable exchange, the Congressional Record, is again with us.

Hicks, father of Postmaster C. H. Hicks, while overseeing some work on his farm near the city yesterday, was struck in the face with an axe, the sharp edge or point cleaving the fleshy part of his nose and splitting the upper lip. He was rendered unconscious by the blow, which was the result of a rather singular accident, but was soon restored, and after six or eight stitches had been taken in the wound he was made comfortable at his home in the city. When he received the stunning blow in the face he was standing immediately in front of a negro man who was driving down a stake with a hand axe. Suddenly the axe flew from the handle, striking Mr. Hicks. Drowns in River. , Morganton, N. C., April 15.?Rev. McNeely DuBose, rector of the Episcopal church, known and admired throughout the Carolinas, was drowned in the Catawba river, near Morganton, while hunting early Saturday morning with his two younger sons. He shot a duck on the opposite side of the river and tried to cross the swollen stream to recover the bird. For some unaccountable reason,' whether from cramp in the cold water or exhausted strength, he sank and was drowned. At last accounts his body had not been recovered. Rev. DuBose had but recently returned from a vacation and was in vigorous health, eager for the hour of his cherished ministry and entering into plans for the future. This unspeakable accident will bring grief not only to his immediate family, but to his many friends. Mill President Takes His Life. Lynchburg, April 12.?A. C. Hutchins, formerly of Charlotte, N. C., president and treasurer of the Alta Vista cotton mills at Alta Vista, a short distance south of Lynchburg, shot himself through the head to-day, death being instantaneous. A coroner's inquest returned a verdict of suicide, but the evidence threw no light on the cause leading to the actl The company which was formed last year with $200,000 capital, ran out of funds, but Mr. Hutchins announced last week that sufficient money had been secured to finish the plant and put it in operation. 54001 I Drug Store will give { in Bamberg or surrc Dover's Drug Store, o mberg county, and e Nomination Blank I hereby accept the nomination as Please place these "2,000 .

Murden, white, a car repairer in the employ of the Southern Railway, was shot and kiled by his 16-year-old son, Isaac, on Saturday night at his residence near Lincolnville, this State. It it said Murden had been drinking heavily on Saturday afternoon and he terrified his family by flourishing a double-barreled shotgun and threat enmg to kill tnem all. some of the girls of the family succeeded in getting the gun and hiding it, whereupon Murden boarded a train, came to Charleston, bought a new weapon and a box of cartridges and returned home. There he found only his son, Isaac, awaiting him, the rest of the family having fled in terror at his approach. Murden fired a shot at the boy, who was standing on the step, and followed the lad when the latter fled into the house and hid behind a door. He fired three more shote at the boy before Isaac brought a magazine pistol into play and killed his father with a shot through the right breast. The boy has been held for trial and is now in the Berkeley county jail at Monck's Corner. Wants to Increase Rates. Washington, April 15.?Praying that it might make such rates on coal from Dante and other points in the Virginia coal fields to South Carolina points as might be equitable and fair, the Carolina, Clinchfield & Ohio Railroad company to-day presented its arguments to the interstate commerce commission. Ever since this railroad began op 12 21- ? 2 - 1 eraung us iraius miu opanauuurg, about a year ago, there has been dissatisfaction on the part of cotton mills because,.they say, that the rates have been made higher on coal shipments from Virginia points to their mills than was the case before. The road, in its petition recently filed, asked permission to make and enforce such rates as might be fair. The question of bunkerage rates to Charleston also came up for consideration and was taken under advise.ment by the commission. The testimony taken several days ago with printed briefs and arguments was submitted for the decision of the commission, which will be rendered at some future time. Paper napkins, Herald Book Store.

Florence, April 15.?The fight over the Florence postoffice ended tonight, when John A. Chase, Senator Smith's selection, took charge. Mr. Kuker turns' oyer the records and keys and whatever constitutes the authority of the postmaster and custodian of the handsome building belonging to t?e government here. This fight has been national in its importance for a number of years, the first effort being to replace Joshua A. Wilson and his negro clerks with white people, in which fight the East and the West were lined up against the South, party lines being pretty strongly drawn and the race question cutting a considerable figure. Latterly the fight was Senator Smith against the administration and its friends for the right to name the postmaster in his own town, and he made a very hard fight and won against odds that everyone thought overwhelming. Since the fight began so many branches of the service have been put under the civil service that it is doubtful if the removal of the nej groes could be accomplished. Even the assistant postmaster, the last one to be included under the wing of the civil service, is now protected by that law, but it is expected that some provision will be made to compass the desire of the people. For Bryan-Bailey Debate. Texarkana, Texas, April 16.?N. A. Shaw, a wealthy farmer and prominent in Texas political circles, believes William J. Bryan is a thorn in the side of Democracy and. that the tariff differences between Bryan and Bailey should be settled by debate, in order not to imperil the ultimate unity of the party. Mr. Shaw states that he is willing to bear the financial expense attached to such debate personally and to give the "gate receipts" to the Commoner. Remains Not Yet Found. Charlotte, April 16.?Though searching parties have dragged every nook and corner of Catawba river, unremittingly ;11 day long, no trace has been found of u e body of Rev. McNeely DuBose, who was drowned near here yesterday morning. The little river, swollen by recent rains,' is still a raging torrent, and it is possible that the body may be swept many miles down the course of the stream before it is recovered. i, ' 'r . % i .

A Virginia farmer had a few swarms of bees which he kept in what are called box hives. Inside these were small boxes which would hold about two or three pounds of honey each. About eight of these were placed in the top of the hive, and as at least one side of each box was of glass the keeper could easily look into the hive and see when the boxes were filled with^honey. The farmer usually chose to do this early in the morning, before the bees came out to begin the labors of the day, or at night when they had finished them. Bees do not like to have their .dwelling places molested and generally try to sting the intruder. One day softe friends were at the farmer's house, and as they wanted honey very much the farmer thought he would venture to take it out in the afternoon. He knew that some of (the boxes were quite full. The hives stood a few rods- from the house, and on that side of the house were large doors leading into ^the cellar. It has been mentioned that the boxes were partly of glass; but the bottom of each was made of little slats, so that the bees could go in and out as they liked. The farmer took out several boxes, carried them into the cellar, shut the cellar doors nearly together, and hurried away. He put the boxes into the cellar in order to allow any bees which might be in them to fly out and return to the hive; but, in his haste to avoid being stung, the farmer left the doors open too much, so that the cellar was quite light, whereas it should have been nearly dark. The bees were so excited and enraged that they fled in all directions, attacking every one who came in their way. A woman on the porch was stung on her cheek; a neighbor passing along the road fared no better; and a great running and screaming ensued. When supper time came there were so many bees flying about the cellar doors that no one cared to go near them. Eary the next morning the farmer looked out of the dining room window and observed that the air was still full of bees. At about 10 o'clock he looked again and not a bee could be seen.

Mahlon Irvins, Jr., of Merchant* ville has a reputation as an actor and takes part in nearly all of the local M shows. In the last show that was given "Shorty" had one of the leading parts. After the show, while he was taking off his makeup, an elderly man made his appearance in the doorway* "Are you Mr. Irvins?" inquired ^ the old man. Jjj "Yes," replied "Shorty," as he mo tioned him to be seated. ? "Well," the old man continued. * I "I just want to tell you something. I've been watching your acting tonight.
