BRICKLEt CAVITIES IN THE SKULL. Room Enough Inside One's Head to ! Hide Bulky Articles. Every one is not aware that there is space inside a person's head for : storing away heavy and bulky foreign articles. One man who made a 1 specialty of burglary and jail break- i ing now shows how he was aided in < his work by utilizing this human < attic storage room. He concealed a 1 large skeleton key and a saw twelve 1 inches long, coiled like a watch ? spring, in the cavity reached through 1 his nostrils. But in the London Lancet Dr. Rushton Parker relates < a more remarkable case of the carry- : ing of a large foreign body in that : space of the head, and that without i the victim knowing that his head f was so filled up and weighted down. " A young farmer consulted Dr. Parker at the Liverpool hospital for a nasal abcess that had troubled him cnmo time Prnh'n? thp nostril, the ~ ~ 0 " , surgeon found that a loose mass, ap- < parently of metal, occupied a considerable space behind the nose and 1 above the roof of the mouth. ' So large was this object that it 1 was removed with difficulty through 1 r\f for>o Tt nrnvpri tn hp lug oxug vJL uuv i-Mvv. A i/ v ? %/%* w ? w a gun breech and an iron bolt. The : breech measured 3x1 %xl inches. 1 The bolt was three inches long. The weight of the two was a quarter of a ? pound. This mass of metal had been '* in the man's head for five years, 1 though he had not suspected its pres- 1 ence there. A muzzle loading gun '> had exploded in his hards and shat- > tered his face. The wound healed 1 without leaving any outward deform- 1 ity. His only affliction was symptoms of a nasal catarrh. The young farm- 1 er made a rapid recovery to perfect ] health with the removal of the iron ' from his head. ] < Hope for Good Roads Bill. 1 Washington, April 12.?The entire j membership of the South Carolina , delegation in the house to-day signed a petition handed to them by Congressman Byrnes of South Carolina ( asking the rules committee of the (' house to bring in a rule to the effect ' that the good roads bill just report- ' ed from the house committee on agriculture be voted upon as part of the postoffice appropriation bill. A few weeks ago the house caught the good roads fever, and work is being done now as never before. Last week the subcommittee of the house reported . a bill which divides all roadways into three classes. It is a consolidation ; of all such bills now pending in con- ( gress. It is provided that when the United ! States shall use any highway for the 1 transportation of rural mail, com- 1 pensation shall be made at the rate of $30 per annum for highways of 1 class A, $20 for class B, and $10 for 1 class C. 1 Those who are behind the movement believe that they have at last 1 found a way not only to avoid all constitutional barriers, but at the 1 same time provide federal aid without the necessity of giving the federal authorities any more control 1 over the States than that now pos sessed in the transportation of the rural mails. If the present move- ' ments retains its impetus a good roads bill will be passed at this con- '< gress after years of effort c-n the ?' part of its advocates. 1 v Physician Took His Own Life. Fairf..\, April 14.?Dr. E. C. Ad- 1 di.son, who has been practicing medi- 1 = cine here about six years, commit- ' tel suicide in Lis office this morning 1 at 9 o'clock by shooting himself < tvice with a S8 calibre pistol, one bullet taking effect in the breast near the heart, the other in the head. 1 Despondency is believed to have < been the cause of the deed. Sending his negro servant out, he fired the fatal shots when no one was present. In his office to-day was found a piece of cardboard with these 1 words in the doctor's handwriting penciled on it, "To Mr. Aull I leave my* Stoddards." It is presumed that the words were addressed to Rev. W. B. Aull. Dr. Addison was born and reared . in Hampton county and was about 30 years old. He was married in Sa- ' vannah about four years ago to Miss Lucretia McCullough and is survived ' by her and a girl child over a year = old. He is also survived by his father, Jesse Addison, a prominent citizen and business man at Brunson, and three brothers, E. W. Addison, one of the leading merchants of Brunson; G. T. Addison in the drug business at Florence, and R. G. Addison, in the mercantile business at Brunson, and one sister, -Mrs. a. -m. wraanam, 01 Brunson.

Statistics comparing the yield of factory and field in the South in IS60 and 1910 were presented by :he secretaries of agriculture of various southern States at the closing af sessions of the Southern Commercial Congress, which recently met in Nashville, Tenn. Reports showed that nearly all the States now double and treble the output of the ante helium days. With the department of agriculture Df South Carolina created only nine years ago, the industry of the Palmetto State already has shown an amazing increase, outranking all save one State of the older commonwealths in the Dercentaere of increase between 1,000 and 1900 and 1910. When the department was created the annual agricultural production was $51,324,000. In 1910 the production of chief crops only was 1 $140,000,000, an iiicrease in a decade Df 173 per cent. The 1909-10 census total of all agricultural products, Dmitting the trucking industry and live stock, was $144,397,319. This is from a State of less than = 31,000 square miles. In textile manufacture it occupies second place in the union. In the percentage increase of production between 1909 and 1910 the State led the union with the exception of Wyoming and Nevada, rank far down in the list of actual volume. In actual Droduction South Carolina, with its small territory, has jumped from twenty-first to thirteenth in the list. The 1910 census showed 176,180 farms in the State, an increase of 13 per cent.; values increased 162 per :ent., and values of implements and machinery 112 per cent. Commissioner E. J. Watson says the rush to the city has been checked and that particular energy is being concentrated on economic improvements of the rural districts, where 82.2 per cent, ef the population lives. Among the ranking agricultural States of the union South Carolina stands third in value per square mile. Illinois leads with $5,122 and Iniiana stands next with $4,736. No ether southern State except Georgia reaches the $3,000 mark. One has a valuation as low as $257. Bank Examiner Before Court. Whether B. J. Rhame or Hugh Wilson Fraser will be State bank examiner will be settled by the supreme eourt. Associate Justice Watts last Friday signed an order requiring R1 H. Jennings, the State treasurer, to show :ause before the supreme court oh kpril 19 at 10 o'clock why a peremp tory mandamus snouia not oe issuea to require him to honor the draft or check drawn by B. J. Rhame as State bank examiner for expenses during the month of March. jB. J. Rhame was dismissed several 3ays ago by the governor and Hugh Wilson Fraser appointed to his place. Mr. Rhame refused to give up the affice. In his petition for mandamus Mr. Rhame points out that "he is the bank examiner of the State of South ~ Carolina, under the laws of said State, having been duly appointed and commissioned to the said office and has been and still is engaged in the discharge of the duties of the said office." It is pointed out in the petition that during March the expenses of the office w*as $51.95 and that the State treasurer has refused to pay this amount upon presentation of the claim. Mr. Rhame is represented by W. F. Stevenson, of Cheraw. It is not known who will represent the governor. Weds Ten Times. Allentown, I*a., April 10.?"I'll ?et a good one yet, even if I have to marry as many more." This was = the defiant declaration of Mrs. Jo sephine Sehwerer, 28 years old, when committed to prison for a year en a charge of bigamy. The young woman is alleged to have ten husbands living. It is also alleged that she has never resorted to the formality of divorce. When arraigned she pleaded not guilty, boldly declaring she had never been married at all. Records were then produced to show she had married at least three times in this country. Detectives stated that they had located eight men to whom the woman had been married. Former District Attorney Lichten* * * J ^ n ? _ a i <3 4- V* o ^ wainer, wno aeienaea aer, sam tua.t in view of the convincing evidence that the woman had been married more than once, he wished to change her plea to non vult. On being called for sentence, Mrs. Schwerer again insisted that she had never been married to any man, and ? her attorney stated she had once been " kicked by a horse and had been unbalanced ever since.
