R "THE LIVE STO(
SIX FINE COWS DIE.
They Were Attacked by Hydrophobia
onH firtnn OJmI
auu K/WU
Cope, Sept. 21.?Mr. J. D. 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.

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.

by Hoke Smith.
; Atlanta," Ga., Sept. 23.'?Former

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

United States Senator. This makes
three candidates in the field, the oth

^ "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

have formerly opposed me."

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.

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.

Twenty-three Per Cent. 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.

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.
