Be a Booster.
Do you know that there's lots o'
people
Settin' round in every town,
Growlin' like a broody chicken,
Knockin' every good thing down?
Don't you be that kind of cattle,
'Cause they ain't no use on earth,
You just be a booster rooster,
Crow and boost for all you're
^ worth.
v It your town needs boostin,' boost
er,
Don't hold back an' wait to
see
If some other feller's willin'?
! / Sail' right in, this country's
/ free;
} No one's got a mortgage on it,
i It's just yours as much as his.
If your town is short on boosters,
, 1 You get in the boostin' biz.
/ If things don't seem to suit you,
An' the world seems kinder wrong,
What's the matter with a boostin'
Just to help the thing a long?
'Cause if things should stop a goin'
We'd be in a sorry plight;
You just keep that horn a blowin'
Boost 'er up with all your might.
If you see some feller tryin'
For to make some project go,
Tou can boost it up a trifle,
That's your cue ^o let him know
That you're not a goin' to knock it,
Just because it aih't your "shout,"
But you're going to boost a little,
'Cause he's got "the best thing
out."
11 you know some feller's failin's,
Just forget 'em, 'cause you know
That same feller's got some good
points,
Them's the ones you want to show:
"Cast your loaves out on the waters,
They'll come back," ' s a sayin'
true.
Mebbe they will come back "guttered,"
f
When some feller boosts for you.
POLICEMAN'S TRAGIC DEATH.
Basley Officer Accidentally Killed
by Railroad Detective's Pistol.
Greenville, Jan. 13.?According to
a dispatch received here to-night Policeman
Irvine Hendricks, of Easley,
was accidentally shot and killed by
J. R. Green, of Spartanburg, at present
employed as a detective by the
Southern Railway.
The two men were engaged in conversation
while sitting around the
stove in the city hall, at Easley,
when Detective Green leaned forward
*o expectorate in a nearby cuspidor.
In doing: so a pistol, which was
buckled around his breast in a leath- J
er case, dropped out, discharging as
it struck the cement floor. The ball
struck Policemafa Hendricks in the
back of the head and ranged upward,
penetrating the brain and crushing
the skull in the top of the head, killing
him instantly. The accident is
deeply deplored by the detective, and
be has been almost overcome by the
affair. Th dead officer was unmarried
and had been a member of the
Basley force some years.
Girl Quite a Heroine.
Atlanta, Jan. 11.?The pretty little
Moore girl who shot and killed W. L.
Bankston because he insulted her
mother, has become quite a heroine
since she was acquitted and freed of
blame on her preliminary trial.
ohe is only 15 years old, sweet and
modest as a young girl can De. mat
she actually pulled the trigger that
sent violent death to the man who
was about to strike her down with a
chair is almost impossible to believe.
As is inevitably the case, numerous
offers to go on the stage are being
showered upon the young girl, and,
according to rumors, other offers of a
more romantic nature have been
made by young gentlemen who never
heard of Miss Moore until they saw
her name and picture in the paper.
However, the young girl is attracted
neither by the offers of a career
on the stage nor by the attentions of
sentimental young men, and proposes
to live quietly with her mother, as
if nothing had ever happened to destroy
the peaceful quiet of their
1 home.
FRASER TO SUPREME BENCH.
Chosen on Second Ballot Over Three
Competitors.
Columbia, Jan. 11.?Associate Justice
C. A. Woods was to-day nominated
by his friend. Senator .Montgomery,
of .Marion, for re-election on
the supreme court bench. No speeches
were permitted, but in a single
sentence Mr. Montgomery spoke
much when he said he had real pleasure
in nominating for re-election
Justice C. A. Woods, the eminent
jurist, the self-sacrificing and distinguished
citizen and lovable citi
- -i /M?
zen of nis nome county. 01 cuurse
there was no opposition to the reelection
of Associate Justice Woods,
and he was unanimously re-elected
for the full term.
Elected on Second Ballot.
Then came the election of an associate
justice to fill the unexpired
term of Chief Justic Eugene B. Gary,
the Hon. Thomas B. Fraser, of Sumter,
being elected. The attitude of |
the lawyers to this high position is
shown by the fact that four candidates
were offered for the high honor.
Senator Hardin presented the
name of Judge George W. Gage, of
Chester; Senator Clifton presented
the name of Mr. Thomas B. Fraser,
of Sumter; Mr. Kurtz P. Smith nominated
Judge Geo. E. Prince, of Anderson,
and Senator Francis H.
"f PnlnmKio nrocontf>d thp
V V KJ L V^V/i U JLLi uxu, vuvuwu v
name of Mr. Geo. W. S. Hart, of
Yorkville*.
Then the balloting began.
The first ballot resulted: Thomas
B. Fraser 75, Geo. W. Gage 53, Geo.
j E. Prince 20, Geo. W. S. Hart 12.
j Then came the second and conclusive
ballot: Thomas B. Fraser 93,
| Geo. W. Gage 58, Geo. E. Prince, 9.
Necessary to elect 81.
Thus Mr. Thomas B. Fraser, who
has for years given patient and intelligent
service to his State as a
member of the house, and has been
chairman of the house judiciary committee,
was elevated to a place on
the supreme court bench. The elec- 1
tion will give entire satsifaction.
BURIAL OF IDIS O. ALLEN.
Native of Allendale Accidentally Killed
at Montgomery.
Allendale, Jan. 10.?The body of
Idis O. Allen arrived here this after- ,
noon from Montgomery, Ala., where (
he died after several days' lingering ,
from the accidental discharge of a
pistol in the hands of a friend on the
5th instant. His home was in Savan- (
nah, and he was employed by the (
Seaboard Ail Line Railroad on a conductor's
run from that city to Montgomery.
Allendale is Mr. Allen's native
home. He leaves a wife and several
children. His parents and only sister,
Mrs. Fulmer, reside in Allendale. ,
He was a young man of fine traits,
highly esteemed by all who knew
him. His remains will be buried with
Masonic honors.
PICTURE REVEALS LOST GIRL.
Russian Peasant and Wife See Likeness
of Daughter.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 6.?A cinematograph
film was instrumental in furnishing
an audience at a picture show
with a real live romance to-day.
While a scene in a play was being
reproduced at a cinematograph theatre
here, a peasant and his wife, two
of the spectators, recognized an actress
in the picture as their long-lost
daughter. The woman swooned, and
her husband, shouting, "My daughter!"
tried to force his way behind
the stage, expecting to find his
riaii^htpr there. To convince him
that" his daughter was not there, the I
manager had the curtain drawn up.
Then, ringing up the firm from
whom he got the fiim, the manager
was informed that the actress was
there, and would set out for the theater
at once.
Soon after this information had
been given out to the audience, a cab
drove up with the actress, and parents
and daughter had an affectionate
meeting. To the delight of the
audience, the young lady appeared
on the stage.
Little Sister Knew.
Manager Ellis, head of a local motor
car tire agency, hails from Richmond,
Ind., which is in the heart of
the Quaker belt of Hoosieidom,
says the Louisville Times, whose
duty it often became to preach the
sermon at Quaker marriage eere.

custom for the contracting parties
to "marry themselves." the minister
garnishing the ceremony with a little
sermon.
On one occasion the father was to
deliver the sermon at a Quaker wedding
and at the dinner table that day
the son took occasion to inquire what
his subject would be. Before the
father could answer, up spoke the
little sister:
"I can tell thee, brother, what it
ought to be," she said. 'Father, forgive
them, they know not what they
do.' "
WILLIS REPLIES TO BLEASE.
Defends His Position on "Belton In- (
cident."
Columbia, Jan. 11.?A feature of
the proceedings in the house of representatives
to-day were the remarks
of Representative J. Archie Willis, of
Laurens county, rising to a question
of personal privilege and replying to
the attack made upon him yesterday
by Gov. Blease in his special message
relating to the libel act, now known
as his "newspaper message." In the
course of Mr. Willis's remarks Representative
W. W. Dixon, of Fairfield,
suggested that Mr. Willis was
out of order in the nature of the remarks
he was making, but was overruled
by Speaker Smith. Appealing a
to the house from the decision of the t
speaker, Mr. Dixon's motion was lost, ^
he alone supporting it. v I
Mr. Willis was the editor of the a
Belton Times and was among others s
denounced yesterday by Gov. Blease f
as a liar, accompanied by a number of c
adjective qualifications, with particu- "v
lar reference to the now famous "Bel- t
ton Incident" Prefacing his defence t
on this point, Mr. Willis said:
"Despite the fact that I hold in my s
hand a letter from the 'Black Hand c
of South Carolina,' as the writer or t
writers are pleased to term them- d
selves, warning me that if I again pay "v
my respects to the governor of South a
Carolina I shall be killed in short or- I
der, I want to take this opportunity i
of defending myself against the un- ?
called for attack of his excellency in s
a special message yesterday, when he r
took occasion to call me a liar, to t
which was added certain adjectives I
peculiarly all the governor's own." s
It is recalled that last summer the i:
Belton Times, of which Mr. Willis is t
editor, published an account of an al- o
leged insult to the young lady ticket c
agent at Belton by Gov. Blease. This t
was substantiated by an affidavit from n
the young lady herself, Miss Mary J. t
Rogers, and corroborated by an affi- o
davit by Mr. Jas. M. Alexander, a by- t
stander. Some time later the gov- 1;
ernor produced an affidavit from Miss c
Rogers which contradicted her form- v
er statement and vindicated him of t
the charge of any misconduct. c
Mr. Willis in his remarks before 7
the house yesterday produced the e
original affidavits of Miss Rogers i'
and Mr. Alexander and repeated his
statement that his account of the in- c
cident was correct, and assigned rea- o
sons why a contradictory affidavit a
was made later. J
As to the boasted politeness and t
courtesy of the governor, Mr. Willis t
declared that his very message to the 1
general assembly was an insult. v
"Gentlemen," said he, "I appeal to t
you to know if I am not speaking the a
truth when I say that his every mess- c
age to the general assembly is filled i
with insult. They are couched in
such language that the gentlemen to
whom they are addressed hang their
heads in shame upon hearing them, g
We are filled with disgust, and from i
every row of seats in this house the e
fervent cry goes up, 'Oh, Lord, how C
long, how long!' " g

CAPTURED BY ELECTRICITY. p
t
Fugitive from Hospital Held Fast by
Live Wire He Touched. p
: J
A patient at the State hospital in -v
Binghamton, N. Y., known as "Pat" c
escaped from that institution and \
eluded the vigilance of the attend- 1
ants, who immediately made a search e
of the city. Next morning a man d
who had the appearance of having J
been out in the storm all night entered
the electric light station at 1
Union, eight miles from this city, t
and asked to be allowed to get warm, r
His actions were peculiar, and r
Max Hillingser, in charge of the
plant, fearing that he might get in
contact with some of the dangerous machinery,
ordered, him out. The
intruder refused, and resisted when ?
Hillsinger endeavored to eject him.
In the struggle which ensued Hillsinger
placed the man's hands in contact
with a live wire carrying 120 1
volts of electric current. He could v
not remove his hands as long as the ^
L
current was turned on, and Hillsinger
bound him securely before turn- ^
ing off the electricity. The authori- ^
f
ties were notified and the man was
identified as "Pat. n

Beaufort, .Tan. 10.?Capt. I. P. t

MARVELS OF THE BERMUDAS. |
>ystal Cave and the Devil's Hole
I>raw the Visitors.
Exeryone visiting Bermuda is expected
to go out to the reefs and
nto the Crystal Cave. A boat takes
passengers out to the reefs and anhors.
From eighteen to twenty
people at a time go in a glass botomed
boat out over the reefs. The
passengers on the large boat climb
lown into the little one and take
heir seats around its edge. The
wo colored rowers soon get the
poat out over the reefs and- all
leads go down and stay down until
he glass boat gets back to the big
>ne to take on another load. It is
l funny sight to watch the people in
he small boat, all leaning over toward
the center, says the Utica
5ress. The exclamations of wonder
ind delight are numerous, and the
;ight of the coral growths, the sea
erns, brain coral, etc., with an ocasional
fish below the boat, is one
vhich will be remembered for a long
ime by all those fortunate enough
o have the experience.
A drive to St. George included a
top at the famous Crystal Cave, disovered
in 1907. It has recently
ieen fitted with electric lights. A
iescent of 75 feet is made by stairs,
'/hen the cave is reached. Bridges
re built out over the lake 250 feet
ong, and the stalactites and stalagnites
sparkle in the light. The
^uide turns the light out, and
ometimes in the gloom an unighteous
person reaches up and
>reaks off a piece of the stalactites,
"orbidden fruit is sweet, and the
igns posted warning against touchng
anything often creates a desire
o disobey. The Crystal Cave is one
if the sights of Bermuda, and was
liscovered four years ago by two
ioys. They kept their secret for six
oonths, visiting the cave by lowering
hemselves with a rope and breaking I
>ff the stalactites and selling them to I
ourists. While the entrance was on 5
and owned by the boys' parents, the
ave was under land owned by a man
rho walled up the passage leading to
he original entrance. The boys reeived
about $20 while the man gets
5 cents apiece for every one who
nters the cave and every tourist vists
it.
The Devil's Hole is a natural
ave, in which is a pond fed by the
cean and stocked with grupu, rock
,nd angel fish and two turtles, Sarah
ane and Happy Jack. The fish are
ame and answer the call of the careaker
when he wants to feed them,
^he grupu fish change color, and
fhen rushing for food turn dark ^
trown instantly. In the aquarium ,re
fine specimens of the beautifully
olored angel fish and others found q
n the waters around the islands. n
