Watson to travel!" Yes, he is reasonably
sure to go on a long journey
about next April.
We all know that Bamberg is a
small town to get a public building, 1
but we also know that Byrnes is right ;
on the job and will get one for us if
it is possible.
(
Congressman Jas. F. Byrnes is exactly
right in his advocacy of federal 1

It is as clearly the province of the ,

for the same purpose. We ^
know he will keep up the fight along ^
this line, and we wish him success.

' THREAD FOR THE WORLD. <
i *
The Largest Quantity is Manufactured
at Paisley, Scotland. <
Paisley is undoubtedly the chief
center of the thread industry, and the
firm of J. & P. Coats, Limited, is
known all over the world. They have
mills in the United States and several
European countries, but their
chief works are in Paisley. These,
inclusive of the large mills,
occupy over a handrd acres of
ground, possess an aggregate engine
force of 30,000 horse power, require
a daily consumption of 400 tons of
coal to drive half a million spindles
and give employment to more than
10,000 men and women. All the
mills are substantially built, but the
largest is five stories in height, and
in it about 1,000 workers are em
ployed. Its machinery is driven by
two engines of 1,900 horsepower
each, and the driving wheel, which
makes 500 revolutions a minute, is
35 feet in diameter. All the flats are
filled with costly machinery, which
the girls watch with anxious eyes all
day long. They earn from 12s 6d to
one pound a week, but they work
hard for it. Their working hours
are from 8 a. m. to 12:30 p. m. and
from 1:30 p. m. to 6 p. m.?London

KATE SHELLY DEAD.
Heroine of Honey Creek Flood Passes
Away.
Boone, la., Jan. 21.?Kate Shelly,
heroine of the Honey creek flood dis- t
aster in 1881, died to-day at her {
home, a quarter of a mile from the '
Moingona bridge across the Des <
Moines river, the scene of her heroic (
act. Six months ago she was operat- .
ed on for appendicitis and before she
recovered. Bright's disease set in.
During a violent storm 30 years
ago, Miss Shelly, who was station
agent at Moingona, crossed the
bridge over the Des Moines river on
her hands and knees at midnight to
flag a passenger train on the Chicago
& Northwestern Railroad and save
it from plunging into Honey creek,
over which the bridge had been
washed away.
For her bravery the Iowa legislature
awarded her a medal and a sum
of money. She also received substantial
recognition from the railroad s
company as well as many contribu- a
tions from various parts of the coun- ?
try. t

Violated the Law. i
t
In his speech against the bill of
Senator Earle, to repeal the law em- f
powering the chief justice, when the
supreme court is not in session, and .
the supreme court when in session, ,
to recommend the appointment to the ^
governor of a suitable person to pre- t
side at a special court, or at a court t
when the regular judge is unable, on ^
account of illness or death, to pre- *
side, Senator Carlisle said:
"The senator from Oconee need
not cite cases from other States, as
the supreme court of our own State
has spoken on this question and all
law-abiding citizens are bound by it,
the governor as well as the general
assembly." tj
In reply to the position of Senator
Earle that the present law had pro- ^
iuded friction, Senator Carlisle said b
that "the friction was brought about
by the governor refusing to obey the
[aw enacted by the general assembly
and that if he would obey the law,
which he was sworn to do, all fric- ^
tion would stop. The failure of the
rnvornnr tr? nhpv the law which he
had sworn to obey was the cause of
ihe friction."
That puts the case succinctly and G
lucidly.?Columbia State. d

A Great Corn Farm. b
/
Think of it! Six thousand bushels E
3f corn gathered and three thousand
bushels more to gather is the record r<
a Georgia farmer, not a man,in
Kansas or Illinois. We know many of t)
3ur all-cotton farmers will not believe E
this, because they did not see it, and b
many of them never saw this much A
ear-corn in all their lives. Still., Mr *
Sid Phelan, of Crawford county,
Georgia, made this enviable record b
for 1911.
One day about the middle of De- E
"VT? Tl^nlnn and nn tl
cem Der we met mi. x uuau uuU,
asking him how he was getting
along, he replied: "Very well, but s
it looks like I can not get through c
gathering my corn. I have gathered f
6,000 bushels and have 3,000 more to F
gather. s
How did Mr. Phelan grow this h
enormous crop of corn? By simply
developing the natural fesources of b
the magnificent plantation that he h
bought a few years ago for less than a
five dollars per acre, because the 1;
owner had allowed the place to run t
down until it was almost worthless.
Mr- Phelan hniit. a dvke 18 feet high ^
iU A X ixv?v*M
and thre miles long to cut off the s
back water from Flint river. He. t
built a tile factory and turned out 1
30,000 feet of tile and drained 500
acres of bottom land, so that now t
it produces 75 bushels of corn per s
acre instead of growing cane and bul- *
rushes as before. We have thous- *
ands of acres in each Southern State
that only needs just such a master (
spirit to reclaim them and make them )
produce like those of Mr. Phelan. c
We have thousands of farmers that 1
do not know what to do with their 1
cotton, but Phelan will have no
trouble in selling his corn for a good
price. We trust that m proportion i
to their area in cultivation, others I
will follow Mr. Phelan's example for 1
1912 and for all future years.? 1

WIFE'S CLUB SCATTERS.
When Husband Does Family Washing
in Drawing Room.
Wheeling, W. Va., Jan. 20.?Determined
to put a crimp in his wife's
imbition to become a social leader,
rhomas Yingling, a wholesale butcher,
who climbed up the sausage ladder
link by link until he acquired
i fortune, entered the drawing room
>f his home to-day while his wife
ivas presiding over a card party, and,
ittaching a washing machine to the
flectric fixtures, proceeded to set a
?ood example for the women present
by doing the family washing.
Without waiting to remove the
;uds from their afternoon gowns the
vomen fled from the Dlace and left
VIr. Yingling in full possession.
Some of those who delayed their
leparture said that it was a regular
(Tingling circus when Mrs. Yingling

ind late last night issued a bulletin,
mouncing her intention of starting
i wholesale butcher shop in opposiion
to her husband. This announcenent
was greeted with cheers by resdents
of this city, who see a chance
o get meat at ridiculously lower
>rices as a result of the Yingling diferences.
The fact that he has prospered
n business has not convinced Mr.
Tingling that he should change his
labits or his style of dress, the sarorial
rock being the one on which
he family harmony went to pieces.
Irs. Yingling was anxious to make
ocial conquests, and to that end inisted
that her husband put on his
linstrel first part for dinner every
vening. He protested that the sight
f evening clothes took away his apetite,
but she was obdurate, and
ompelled him to get behind the
larble top shirt when he came from.

To show that she was in earnest in
er promise to take her husband's
usiness scalp, Mrs. Yingling rented
big storeroom to-day.

MOB HANGS FOUR NEGROES..
Takes Murder Suspects Out, Hangs
Them and Then Riddles Them.
Hamilton, Ga., Jan. 22.?A mob of
[00 men to-night broke into the Har^
*is jail, overpowering Jailer E. M.
Robertson and took four negroes,
hree men and a woman, out and hung
hem to trees one mile from town.
They then riddled their bodies with
Juliets. It is estimated that 300
shots were fired. Last Sunday afterloon
while Norman Hadley, a well to
lo unmarried farmer, was sitting in
lis house alone a shot was fired
;hrough the window and he fell dead.
That afternoon four negro tenants,
3elle Hat ft way, joe ivioore, njugvuo
Sailing and "Dusty" Crutchfield were
irrested charged with the murder.
Sheriff Hadley, who is an uncle of
;he dead man, feared no lynching and
;o-night he is in Columbus. Public
sentiment, however, had been crys;alizing
here all day and by nightfall
there were a great many country
people in Hamilton. Their number
vas constantly augmented, and 9
D'clock fully 900 men had congregated
in front of the court house in
svhich the jail is located. Despite
:he pleas of Jailer Robertson, they
idvanced on the calaboose and throwing
him to one side broke the doors
flown. The terrified negroes were
hustled out at the point of guns and
marched outside the town. There
they were quickly strung up. Immediately
after they were silhouetted
against the sky, revolvers and rifles
blazed forth and fully 300 shots were I
fired before the mob dispersed and
left its prey to the winds.
The negroes protested their innocence
to the last but the mob would
have none of it. Xo motive for the
killing of Hadley, who was very popular.
can be advanced by the people
here.

New York, Jan. 22.?Abdul Hamid,

would have had the surprise of his

were bidden and it was reported
that the costumes out-haremed anything

Real Turkish "pantalets" draped
with the finest of laces, were worn,
by many of the feminine guests,
while more than a king's ransom was

singular accident occurred on the
North End farm on Prudence Island.
Harold Parker, who is visiting Mr.
and Mrs. Brayton on the farm, performed
the time-honored "stunt" of
putting beans in his mouth and making
them come out his ears.
This trick he performed with such
dexterity that when he was through
with it he had a hard white bean
tightly wedged in each ear. One of
these was dislodged by Mrs. Brayton.
but the other defied her efforts. In a
few days it was discovered that heat
had caused the bean to sprout. It
grew as rapidly as- beans usually do,
and on Sunday the sprout was fully
1 y2 inches long. Yesterday, Capt.
Brayton took his guest to the hospital
in Newport, where the bean, sprout,
root, and all, was taken out.

HORSE 'RAN INTO STORE.
Queer Accident That Happened in
Spartanburg. ^
While John R. Burke was driving
on Morgan Square yesterday after- f *
noon about 6 o'clock, his horse became
unmanageable and ran away.
Darting through the square to Kennedy
place, the horse ran squarely
i. 'o the large window of the store of
J. jS. Bagwell, smashing out the
glass. " The animal was severely injured.
The glass was shattered and
cranberries, piled high in the win- f
dow, were scattered over the streets
as wild plums in a thicket.
The driver was not injured. A
large crowd of people gathered
around the sight and the morbidly
curious elbowed their way through ,
the crowds to view the poor bleeding
animal which was soon to die,
while other with curiosity but with J
"chicken hearts," fearing that they
could not eat a hearty supper after
having seen the animal in this condition,
contented themselves with a
critical inspection of the shattered
window.?Spartanburg Journal.
