Thursday, Nov. 16,1911.
A whole lot of people think Charv
leston got what was coming to her
in the recent municipal election.
The worst thing about the defeat
of Hyde in Charleston was the puns
on the result of the election.
A negro in Saluda county com.plained
that a white man held him
UP and robbed him of a watch. Folks
must be hard up in Saluda.
\ A man who knows anything that
he does not want to tell, had best (
never get drunk.. When you "put an
* enemy into your mouth to steal away
your brain" you are liable to tell
something to somebody that you
||want kept a secret.
Hjp^' v . There is nobody in Bamberg county
I&Mj. rich enough to pay an income tax,
< and this is one of the few counties in
ig? f - the State where no income tax is coll||
lected. A few years ago there were a
few persons here who paid this tax,
|g% * but now there are none.
There will be no contest over the
' election in Charleston, and John P.
g|;-v Grace will be the next mayor of that
c , proud old city, and he will have a
pfefc.v council in full sympathy with him.
.1 Let us hope that he will disappoint 1
his enemies and displease many of
bis friends by doing what is right and
just. A political revolution has
j&"' taken place in Charleston, but possibly
good will come out it in the
1& f * end. j

the front of a big millinery establishment

f< f The team was attached to a wnoiesale
grocer's dray. It took fright at

Feathers and plumage flew in all
directions. Ponderous hoofs dented
and crusii^d the loveliest Parisian
shapes. Great sheers of broken glass
cut the ankles and legs of the animals
and the costly display was, bespattered
with blood. Both animals
struggled and fought until they fell
f bleeding and exhausted on a bed of
the costliest millinery that has come
to Pittsburg to herald the advent of

It took block and tackle, veterinarians,
sugar and diplomacy to extricate
the feasts. The window display,
which an hour before was worth
about $10,000, was reduced to a
valueless lot' of rubbish.

THIRST FOR PRISONER'S BLOOD.
Pennsylvania Mob Demands Life of
Young Girl's Assailant.
Meversdale, Pa., November 10.?
Hundreds of enraged citizens surrounded
the borough jail here- to|
night, threatening to lynch Isaiah
Dorman, aged 22, a negro, who is
alleged to have attacked Ethel Morgan,
a white child aged 9 years, last
night. After making two attempts to
get the negro to the county jail at
Somerset, Pa., the authorities were
compelled to rush the prisoner back
to the borough jail. At each attempt
the mob intercepted them and
almost secured the negro. At 9:30
they decided to barricade the jail and
try to keep off the mob until reinforcements
arrive.
Recruits are- pouring in from the
country districts to aid the mob, while
men are being summoned from all
parts of the country to protect the
negro.
ELEVEN BALES ON FIVE ACRES.
A Lexington Farmer who Is Making
His Farm Pay.
Lexington, Nov. 12.?Mr. Belton
Buff, who resides between Lexington
and Columbia, is said to have the
finest five-acre field of cotton in this
section of the State. Mr. Buff has already
picked eight bales from the
field, and ft is estimated that there
are at least three bales open in the
patch now, with many bolls yet to be
heard from. Mr. Buff has made three
crops on this same land it is said.
The first planting was in early roasting~ears,
which he sold on the Columbia
market at a big profit. The cotton
is planted in five-feet rows and is
a great distance apart in the drill.
This is believed to be the best
yield in the county this year. Mayor
Sam P. Roof thought that he had
broken the record when he picked
more than 1,700 pounds of seed cotton
from one acre during a single
picking; but Mr. Buff, on his five
acres, has beaten this record to a
frazzle.
RELEASED FROM JAIL.
Man Who Shot Howell Cooper Gives
$400 Bond.
Mr. H. H. Corley, who on Friday
ni^ht optnher 28. shot and seriously
wounded Howell Cooper, was released
from the Aiken jail last Saturday,
giving bond in the sum of $400.
Both of the principals in the unfortunate
affair are young men of
considerable prominence. They reside
at Salley, and it was at this pLace
that the trouble occurred.
The two wounds sustained by Mr.
Cooper were of a highly serious nature,
and were at the time thought
to be fatal, one of the shots having
entered the center of the bteast, just
below the chin, the other entering
the left side and taking effect in the
abdomen.
The wounded man was taken to
the Columbia hospital on the succeeding
morning, where a most delicate
and dangerous operation was so
skilfully performed that the young
man's life was saved.
Mr. ^Corley immediately came to
Aiken and surrendered himself. He
was held in jail and the preliminary
hearing postponed pending the results
of the operation, which were not
received until last week, when
r>r r.an* nf thp hrisnital. notified the
county authorities of the success of
the, operation, assuring them that
the wounded man would recover.
Corley was then given a hearing before
Magistrate Smoak Saturday and
released on the above mentioned
bond)
The friends of Cooper and Corley
are highly pleased with the outcome
of the deplorable " affair.?Aiken
Journal and Review.
Springfield Case.
Both the negroes charged with being
Arthur Bowen, who is alleged to
have attempted to commit criminal
assault near Springfield some time
ago, are still being held at the penitentiary,
and there are no new developments
in the matter. The second
negro, who was captured near
Orangeburg and taken to Columbia,
was identified by Chief of Police Walter
Jumper, of Springfield, as the
right man, while Mr. Jumper said
that the negro who was captured at
Johnston, and who confessed to being
Arthur Bowen, is not the one.
It is thought that the nrst negro,
the one captured at Johnston, is
probably "crazy," although this has
not as yet been established.
SOME CURIOUS DRINKS.
v
Pick Me Ups Indulged in by Workmen
of Certain Trades.
Some men boast of knowing the
taste of every drink except water.
They do not. One tipple they have
never sampled is "acorn cup," or
"the liquor," the stuff in which
hides are tanned into leather.Made
from oak bark and acorns
and acorn cups, it has a sharp, bitter
taste that is anything but agreeable
to the ordinary palate, but the
men engaged in some tanneries habitually
drink it in small quantities?
a wineglassful at a time is the limit
?as a pick me up.
Another drink unknown to the
general tippler is a favorite among
ironstone workers. It is a natural
product of a very curious kind. In
the best sort of such stone are found
hollow pieces, inside of which is
about a pint of mush, a cold liquor
with a sweet, sharp taste, and either
red or white in color. Strangers
seldom want more than one sip of
mush, but the workmen quaff it with
avidity.
There are too, many kinds of alcoholic
products which are rarely if
ever tasted outside particular trades,
j Methylated spirit is drunk not only
by furniture polishers but by hatters
and others who use it in their
work, and it seems impossible to
i
\
make it so vile that they cannot
swallow it. ' * --v * - 'b - *
A man engaged in one of the
shops of a London warehouse was
found to be drinking considerable
quantities of methylated spirit
whereupon the remainder of the
stock was dosed with that noisome
drug asafoetida, which it was
thought, would make the stuff undrinkable.
But the spirit actually
disappeared faster than ever.
in tne same way surne ui tue alcohol
used in scent works is drunk
by those who have the handling of
it, and some men engaged in drug
warehouses get into the dangerous
habit of taking "nips" of essences
and the like. Not long ago a man
employed by a large firm of wholesale
chemists was seriously ill
%
through long indulgence in the practice.?Tit-Bits.

How i LAUREL Range
Cuts Down Fuel Bills |
Every make of stove is claimed to be a fuel saver.
Of course we claim the same thina for our LAUREL Ranges.
But before you buy your range you want to be sure that the one you v : ' M
buy will do all the things claimed for it. . JJs
.We know that there is not a range made to-dav that is quite so good as
a LAUREL. - '
Every claim made for it can be proven with actual use. < , f 4^p>f ^
And we do not ask you to take our word for-it, but to come and see for
yourself.
For this purpose a LAUREL Twin-Flue Range will be * > ;

How you can cook twice as many things at one time?
How the fire is controlled by the laurel damper system and why it :J

A paper smoke-pipe will be used to prove to you that the heat-usually
wasted up the chimney by other kinds of ranges is all used in a N

Many other things will be shown and proven that it will be to your own ' y;|
interest to buy a laurel Range.
