Thomfe as, a prosperous farmer of the Cope section, lost five or six cows during |||> the last ten days, under somewhat . peculiar circumstances. It was only i?;:\ from five to ten or twelve hours after the symptoms would appear before the animal would be dead. They III; would rub their jaws until they belli-? . -came raw; some would bellow out |||v from pain, but whatever the cause, Ip' each one affected would be sure to Mr. Thomas bec?me alarmed for gte fear his horses and mules mignt oe BgV attacked by the same trouble, and K*i!: - was tiie trouble was caused by their eating damaged oat .. straw, or oats grown on very rich |??C /bottom soil, that became infected with some germ or microbe injurious ? to animal life. He stopped feeding l&V \ oats, but the trouble still continued, W': only among the cows, however. Ec'/J. On last Saturday Dr. Burleigh, Clemson's veterinarian, arrived, and |fe. stayed until Sunday afternoon studyBBKV ing the cause. He gave it as his ijc'r opinion that the cows had a mild form of hydrophobia; caused by eithS2&' er being bitten by a rabid dog some y time back, or from eating grass, upIfgh. on which the saliva from a rabid dog ?p|? had fallen, or that they had gotton hold of some poisonous plant. He went on to say that if another died, and the brain was sent to him, he could tell exactly whether it was ^ caused from rabies or a poisonous herb or plant. From latest accounts it seems tliat% the trouble' is about over, as none have died lately. The loss to Mr. Thomas is quite heavy, as he has good stock, and cattle are jg*^. worth a good price this days. Ducks. (Composition written by a 12-year?? _ old boy.) The duck is a low, heavy set bird composed mostly of meat, bill and P feathers. His head sets on one end lie sets on the other. There ain't no between to his toes and he carries a toy balloon in his 1 stomach to keep him from linking. The ducks has only two legs anc they are set so far back on his run* ning gear that they come durn neai missing his body. Some ducks when they get big an called drakes. Drakes don't have t( set to hatch, just loaf, go swimmins and eat. If I was to be a duck I'c rather be a drake every time. Duck does not give milk but eggs but as for me give me liberty or giv< me death. / I The % solicit vc RA :k and vehicle PATHETIC SIGHT. i Seven-Year-Old Child Tries to Pilot % Drunken Father on the Street. A pathetic* sight was witnessed on Meeting street, near the Evening Post office to-day when a little pale faced chap of not more than seven years of age was seen trying to pilot his drunken father to a corner to take a street car for the union station. The man and child had come to Charleston from Walterboro. Whether the particular business which brought them to Charleston had been transacted, is not known, but about 1 o'clock the little fellow was tugging along with a small hand satchel in one hand while with the other he would catch and try to hold his father's hand or the seam of his fath% i er's trousers. Several times the man slapped the little fellow out of his way but the boy pluckily persisted in trying to lead his father. A neighboring blind tiger had the man's eyes and as staggering as he was he was bent upon taking another drink. Fortunately a passerby came to the assistance of the little fellow and helped the man to a corner when the father and son were Dlaced aboard a belt line car and the conductor asked to put them out at the union station.?Charleston Evening Post. "LITTLE JOE" TO MAKE RACE. Will Seek Governorship Soon Vacated by Hoke Smith. ; Atlanta," Ga., Sept. 23.'?Former I Gov. Joseph M. Brown, who was de; feated for re-election by Gov. Hoke s Smith, to-night announced his candi; dacv for the governorship, to be made ! vacant when Gov. Smith resigns next month to assume his duties as United States Senator. This makes three candidates in the field, the oth ers being Judge R. B. Russell and J. ^ "Pope Brown. In making his an' nouncement, Ex.-Gov. Brown states: , "Believing as I always have that your highest office would be protect5 ed in the dignity that inherently atJ taches to it, I have till this date deL clined to make any statement as to - candidacy to fill any part of a term to which you have elected another. , But as Gov. Smith has made definite ) declaration of his intention to resign, ? I now feel it my duty to respond to * the calls of thousands of my friends, and of many of our other fellow citi1 zens in every part of the State, who have formerly opposed me." $80 Best 4 >ur patr( \ NK MAN." CITED THE BIBLE IN DEFENCE. But Seventh Day Adventists Con | victed of Breaking Sabbath Laws. Spartanburg, Sept. 30.?When attorneys for J. A. Brown and wife, Mary, on trial for violating the Sunday laws, attempted to introduce the Bible as testimony, Magistrate J. A. Scruggs ruled that this was incompetent. Mr. and Mrs. Brown, who are members of the Seventh Day Adventists Church, and who believe that Saturday is-the day set apart for rest, were arrested on warrants issued by neighbors, charged with violating Section 500 of the South Carolina Code. The defendants alleged insofar as they held Saturday sacred and in obeying the dictates of their own consciences they could not per lorm any laDor on mai aay, aua iu<n as it was necessary for them to exert every effort to gather their cotton crop as soon as possible to prevent destruction by the elements, they were not liable under this section. The defendants testified that they had rested on one day in the week, in harmony with their under-, standing of the commandments of God, and believed that this law was unconstitutional. However, the jury returned a verdict of -guilty and Mr. ^nd Mrs. Brown were sentenced to pay a fine of $1 each, the limit prescribed by law. Notice of appeal to a higher court was given. mm N Women Mad. Denver, Col., Sept. 19.?"Let the women do the work/' is the sad refrain of Colorado suffragettes whoi are nursing their wrath against those | in charge of the banquet to President Taft on the occasion of his visit here October 3. Basing their request on the grounds that this is an equal suffrage State and that the vbtes of women were largely responsible for the success of the three Republican candidates who broke the solid Democratic administration in the State last fall, prominent women politicians asked for places at the banquet board. They received coupons entitling them to seats in the gallery ?n^ tVio nrivilocro nf wntrhingr the men eat. Feminine cajolery and tears availed nothing. "Not room enough for the men, to say nothing of the women," was the reply of the banquet committee and now the women are planning legislation which will give women her share in the "play"i of politics as well at in the work. * 1 1,00 On mage, a BAl [d.

Not Bad Showing for Farmers' Warehouse. St. Matthews, Sept./ 29.?At a recent ^meeting of the shareholders of the local warehouse company a second dividend of 8 per cent, was declared. A dividend of 15 per cent, was declared in January, making a total of 23 per cent, for the year so far. The stock of the company has risen from a scarcely marketable value to that of 150. At the last meeting it was decided to increase the stock from $5,000 to $15,000, of which the warehouse will take half and the Farmers' union the other half. There is a grim determination on the part of the farmers to hold their cotton, and the merchants and bankers have pledged their support to aid them. FIEND WILL SOON SWING. Pays Penalty About One Month , After His Crime. At Warrenton, N. C., after ten minutes of deliberation a verdict of "guilty" was returned early Wednesday by the superior court jury in the case of Norval Marshall, the negro who last Saturday night attacked a white woman and shot and seriously wounded her father and the sheriff of Warren county. Judge Justice promptly sentenced Marshall to he electrocuted at Raleigh on October 20. The negro was taken to Raleigh at once and lodged in the penitentiary to await his execution. The victim was placed on the stand and told the circumstances of the attack. The defendant's only attempt at defense was a plea of insanity. Things That Were Missing. A wagon show, which had gaudy paper but little else, played to a very unsatisfactory business in a' small town generally good. Following the afternoon performance two locals were checking up the show from the thirty-two sheet stand on the fence opposite tne depot. "They didn't have this," said one, pointing to a fterd of elephants. "Nor this," said the other, designating a brilliant riding act. "Blamed if I saw this," No. 1 went on, indicating a flying-trapeze performance. Popcorn George, who had suffered keenly through a slack day, had overbeard the conversation. Stepping between them, he put his hand on a scene showing a mob storming a red wagon for tickets. "No," said he, "and they didn't have this."?Chicago Evening Post. , SJPr GIES i .< \ is 1 9 :J & Jij * ^ redit /. j a : LRG DUTH CAROLINA | t ;..^v j Work Begun on College. *' ' 1 Work began on the buildings for Anderson college on Monday.
