STRONG AGAINST DISPENSARY
Reports Indicate that Saluda W
Not Even Vote on Question.
Saluda, April 24.?The antid
pensary forces in this county ha
just about completed a whirlwi
campaign in opposition to the eff(
to have an election in this county
the question of re-establishing a d
pensary, which was precipitated soi
three weeks ago. The reports ni
coming in show an overwneimi
majority against legalizing the s<
of liquor and in opposition to t
call of an election.
In one school district every vol
so far as can be ascertained sign
the counter petition. At Rid
Spring and Monetta only five or i
have failed to sign against.
Ward and in that community the
favoring the election, it is said,
less than a baker's dozen. In tl
town more than 90 per cent, a
signed up in opposition. Equally
good reports are expected from t
other communities.
Tt now oonfidentlv believed tfc
those advocating the election w
fail to obtain the requisite one-four
on their petitions.

saw a mighty fine looking girl w
was not dancing and politely ask
her for the pleasure. She very gi

her.
"Mr. James, who is a gentleman

Out of Sight.
Various means are used by cler
at the money order department at t:
postoffice in accepting proof of t
identity of customers cashing mon
orders for small amounts. Sor
garment worn by a person, tattoo
initials on the arm and even sea
or birthmarks are used for iden
fying patrons.
Recently a woman called to cash
money order and was asked by t
clerk:
"Have you any initials abo
you?"
"I have," she replied, "but I cai
show them to you."
The clerk took the custome
word for it and paid the order.

I CROCODILE CATCHING.
ily O]
n_ Natives Kill the Creatures Only in
Spirit of Revenge.
It is a common sight in Borneo to
p*l
^ see a large crocodile sunning himke
self on the muddy bank of a river, su
)r says Chambers's Jorunal. He takes DC
no notice of the natives even though in
in
>g they pass quite near him. So com- ^
mon indeed is the sight that the
g Dyaks themselves pay no heed to Wj
these dangero s reptiles; and yet it in
rg is no unusual thing in Borneo to
j ? hear of some human life being taken -pj
g"k by a crocodile.
of For months perhaps the crocodiles
er in a river live at peace with man- gv
re kind and then suddenly one of these ^
creatures will carry off some lad

re someone paddling along in his boat. or
I know of a Dyak girl who when sit- je
r ting and paddling at the stern of a pj.
canoe, was knocked over into the
or Ju
water and carried away by a croco- ta
dile and her companions could do
nothing to save her. of
There seems to be no reason why c0
ks the crocodile should suddenly show A
ke a maneating propensity in this way. ^
he The Dyaks account for it by curious ja
ey superstitions. They say that if food
ae is offered to a person and he refuses cc
ed it and goes away without at least ^
rs touching it some misfortune is sure sj(
ti- to befall him and he will most prob- er
ably be attacked by a crocodile.
a Also it is said that one of the fr
he ways the gods punish crime is by
, sending a crocodile to attack the cul- oc
ut prit; and I have often heard it said ai
by Dyaks of someone who has been ^
a't killed by a crocodile that probably
he has displeased the gods either by w
r's paying no heed to the warnings sent ^
him in dreams or by means of omen y(
birds or by committing some hidden sc
crime.
ng The Dyaks of Borneo will not kill ?.j
Ti- a crocodile except in revenge. If the t
ar- animal will live in peace with him
ng the Dyak has no wish to start a quarhe
rel; if, however, the crocodile breaks fC
dr. the truce and kills someone then he
lat feels justified in retaliating. Under
be these circumstances the Dyaks set to
in, work to find the culprit and go on (j(
ew catching and killing crocodiles until C(
sen they succeed in doing so. The Dyaks p)
;he generally wear brass ornaments and oj
by cutting open a dead crocodile they
es- can easily find out if he is the crea- ^
ng ture they wish to punish. ' u
nd U
jn A Woman's Curiosity.
nd A Horton woman, says Charlie ^
er- Browne, went into a butcher shop j e]
eo- and asked to see a twenty-eve pouna i nan,
piece of meat. The butcher cut off J y
nd a chunk weighing that amount and 1 q
asked her where she wanted it de- j s(
ar- livered. i w
lot "Oh, I don't want to buy it," said tj
ant she. "The doctor told me I must re- ^
aut duce my weight that much, and I fj
ide only wanted to see how much it
would be."
EGRO PREACHERS DROWXEI
'ere Fishing in Savannah River an
Boat Capsized.
Stewart Haynie and Jim Harris
ro negro preachers, pastors c
lurches in the Holland's store sec
on, were drowned Tuesday aftei
Don when their bateau capsized i
ie Savannah river at Hard Scral
e, where Big Generostee cree
upties into the river. Up unt
Don to-day their bodies had nc
Den recovered, although every ei
>rt was made late yesterday an
lis morning to do so.
The first news of the drownin
as brought to Anderson Wednesda
orning by Mr. J. C. Jones, and th
ally Mail was able to get furthe
irticulars later over the telephon
om Mr. McGee at Starr.
The two negroes were in a smal
iteau, amid stream fishing. It i
ipposed that the boat struck a roc!
id that the swift current, due to
rollen river, caused the boat to car
ze. There was but one witness,
jgro named H. Keown.
Keown was on the shore, and hoi
red to the men in the water t
ke heart; that he would get hell
t that time both men could be see
the water. In a moment Hai
s's body disappeared, and Haynie'
)dy was washed up partly on
?ck. Keown then ran from his pc
tion down the river, and whil
issing behind a clump of bushes
s view being obstructed, Haynie'
)dy slipped o:3f into the water, an
sappeared.
Keown gave the alarm, and short
after the disappearance of th
?groes, a large crowd of whit
jople and negroes gathered on th
' * - -cc i. J
inKS, ana every euun ?as uiau
locate the negroes, hoping to ge
tem before life was extinct. Th
ream was about 25 feet deep wher
e men went down, and the effort
the crowd were futile.
One of the negroes lived on th
ace of Messrs;. J. A. & C. C. Jones
hile the other lived on Mr. Charle
atson's place. Both were considei
I good negroes, and many of th
?ople, white and colored in that sec
on, are reported to have expresse
eir regrets on account of the acc:

d Unknown Man Found Dead.
_ New York, April 25.?Huddled
e against a vestibule door to prevent
e hurried entrance by the police, the
e body of an unidentified man 25 years
e old was found early yesterday morning
in the hallway of an apartment
e house on West 35th street. A bule
let in the back of the head had causs
ed almost instant death, according
to the police. Surgeons decided that
e the wound .could not have been self
. inflicted. Near the body lay a
y hammerless revolver fully loaded
.. with the exception of one discharged
e cartridge. It is believed by the police
that the murdered man was a
a victim of a gang that frequents the
l_ neighborhood. His assassin apparently
escaped through the back yards
of adjacent tenements.

it "I had a very severe stomach troul.
ble last year from which I was kept

mined to try a bottle. Before it was
