DIES OP RATTLESNAKE BITE.
Grandfather of Young Victim Later 1
- Kills Reptile.
Manning, June 12.?A little colored
boy of eight years, a grandson I
of Charlie Gamble, who lives about C
six miles east of Manning, while out c
picking berries Saturday afternoon, I
was bitten by a rattlesnake and died t
about six hours later. The grand- t
mother of the boy, who was with c
him, saw the snake after it struck e
the boy, but was unable to kill it. r
She described it as being very large. I
Sunday morning her husband went to t
the locality where the boy was bit- s
ten, found an unusualy large rattle- s
\ snake there and succeeded in killing t
it with a shotgun. I
Only one fang of the snake pene- I
trated the skin where it struck the S
boy's leg, and the wound was fol- a
lowed by little or no swelling of the I
limb. t

Much is said about the drift of popv
% ulation from the country to the cities
and towns. The extent of the move- t
ment seems to have alarmed many t
public men and is generally regarded j
?" v.. _n r>,.*
witn regrst uj an nassco. uui, is i j.
there really anything remarkable or | '
dangerous in this movement. As
civilization advances our wants, and
? even our needs become greater. We ..
demand and obtain more of the con- .
veniences and luxuries. More manufacturers
and engineers; more mer- ^
chants and lawyers; and more rich *
idlers and politicians, if not more
necessary, are sure to come. The
cities are bound to increase in population
faster than the country. More- I
over, modern conditions render a
smaller proportion of farmers necessary
to produce food and clothing
for the nation. One-third of the pop- b
ulation is now better able to supply s
the needs of the nation for food and p
? clothing than 90 per cent, was a cen- \
r tury ago. Modern agricultural meth- t
ods and the use of machinery, enable o
the farmers to-day to produce many ti
v > times what was possible less than 50 r
years ago. These are but the natural b
tendencies of our development and
certainly there is nothing in them
yet, which should excite alarm. The
T~
South is yet more largely rural in its
population than most other sections
> of our* country, but we hear much *
* complaint, even here, of the boys
and girls leaving the farms. No ^

to continue. There is but one method
by which this movement from the I
farm can be held within safe bounds.
; The city man, the politician and I
the popular orator, and in some cases
k even the farmers themselves, are E
much given to picturing the beauties
of farm life. If all these pleasant
word pictures were true to the facts,
there would be no need to use them
for the purpose of keeping the boys
and girls on the farm. But unfortunately
they are not true. Thefe are
poverty, hardships and filth in the
cities, but are there not also poverty,
hardwork, inconvenience and lack of ^
^ social pleasures in the country. We ^
who are interested in building up
x Southern agricultue will make a mistake
if we seek to keep the girls and
boys on the farm through false arguments
or by holding out of vain p
hopes. As conditions exist to-day the
social pleasures, the conveniences of f;
> life, the wealth and ease and the v
greatest honors are found in the ti
cities. It is not the dullest class of t!
farm-raised boys who go to the cities n
and if the statements above were not t
true there would be no continuation lj
of the exodus from the country, and e
no need for the loud protests which b
are now heard from every public plat- n
* form and seen so often in the pages i]
of the public press. b
We may as well face the true situ- a
ation. The boys and girls leave the a
farms for good and sufficient rea- sons,
and they will continue to go to e
the cities so long as conditions re- ti
main as at present. Money is not the a
{ root of all evil, although the undue l<
love of it is undoubtedly responsible o
for many of our troubles. On the i(
other hand more money?a greater c
t earning capacity?is essential if the e
boys are to be kept on the farm. In- b
deed, unless the boys who are now o
going to the cities could earn more?
produce more than the average of ?
those who have remained on the b
farms we are not sure that, in jus- o
tice to the individual, they should be ii
encouraged to leave the farms. But b

If the boys who are to stay on the a
arms are to win a success which c
rill make the farms attractive to F
hose who are now going to the cities, I
hey must be educated to their busi- f
ess just as the boys who have left t
he farms have been educated for
iwyers, doctors, merchants, teach- a
rs, and preachers. This has not ?
een true in the past. They have t
ot had an equal education, either "V

DOGS %F THE YOUKON.
They are Born Fighters, Inveterate
Thieves, Sometimes Cowards.
'' ?
Dogs in Alaska are of all breeds
ind sizes, the most common being the
nalamute or native dog, says a
v?iter in the Wide World Magazine.
?he word "malamute" is an Indian
vord meaning Eskimo and is applied
0 both dogs and natives. The malanute
is of the wolf strain?in fact,
he best of the breed are half wolf.
They evince all the characteristics of
he wolf, both in appearance and
nanners.
Owing to his wolflike fur, the malimute
can easily stand the extreme
Llaskan cold. He is a born fighter,
in inveterate thief and somewhat of
1 coward, for he will seldom fight
ingly against a lone adversary. The
nalamute, while well able to withtand
the cold, does not seem to have
he same order of intelligence as is
lisplayed by the outside dog, and
he best dog for Alaska would seem
o be a mixture of the two strains.
Another native breed in the North
s the huskie, but this breed is rarer
han common usage of the word
vould imply. The real huskies are
ired in the neighborhood of-the Mckenzie
river, and are more common
n the territory under the jurisdic
ion of the Hudson s uay company
lian in Alaska.
Small dogs, such as fox terriers,
.re a rarity in Alaska, for in that
ountry a dog is valuable in exact
iroportion to the amount he can pull.
l sleigh dog will weigh anything
rom 30 to 150 pounds, the average
eing about 75 pounds.
Dogs in Alaska, when on the trail,
ire fed once a day, after the day's
vork is done. They are never fed in
he morning, for if they were tiiey
vould be lazy all day, or, what is
Qore probable, would vomit up their
reakfast soon after they got on the
rail. Dogs, to work well, must be
veil fed.
They get a variety of foods, includng
rice, tallow, corn meal, and fish,
f rice or corn meal forms a part of
heir food it must be cooked. Some
nen prefer to feed their dogs on ba:on
or fish, thus doing away with
ooking.
The Youkon sled, while not a thing
>f beauty, is built to stand all kinds
>f hard wear. The sled is about eight
eet long, is made of any kind of hard
eood, lies close to the ground, costs
rom ten to fourteen dollars, and
uakes a trail sixteen inches in width.
Another pattern is known as the
>asket sleigh, and is to the Youkon
leigh what a three masted schooner
s to a coal barge. In length it is
rom eight to fifteen feet, is made of
lirch, oak, or hickory, cuts a trail
!2 inches in width, costs from $40
o $200, is raised a foot or more
rom the runners, and, in the best
xamples, is lashed together with
awhide.
The basket sleigh, as its name imilie8.
is fitted with a basket, into
rhich the load is placed, and from
he back of the basket a pair of hanlles
project, to be used in guiding
he sled on the trail. In very cold

Charles Laughton, the 10-year-old
son of an operative, was instantly
killed here to-day, when his head was

FELDER MAY BE ARRESTED.
Gov. Blease Says H? Will Issue Orders
to That Effect.
Gov. Blease stated last week that
he would instruct the sheriffs of
Greenville and Spartanburg counties
to arrest Thomas B. Felder, the Atlanta
attorney who has won such a
name in this State and who is charged
with conspiracy and attempt to
bribe an official of this State, as he
passes through this State on his way
from Atlanta to Baltimore, en route
to the national Democratic convention.
He further stated that if Felder
should be arrested in Baltimore
he would issue a requisition on the
governor of Maryland for his return
to this State. Mr. Felder is a dele- j
gate at large from Georgia to the
Baltimore convention.
In going from Atlanta to Baltimore
Mr. Felder will almost certainly have
to pass through South Carolina. He
will in so doing either use a Southern
train stopping at both Spartan- i
burg and Greenville, or else he will
take a Seaboard Air Line 'train passing
through Abbeville, Greenwood
and other towns.
$200 Reward for Felder.
There are rewards outstanding for
the arrest of Felder in this State
amounting to $200 and there are
three warrants for his arrest in this
State, said Gov. Blease Tuesday, these
being held by officials of as many
counties. There is one warrant for
his arrest in the hands of the sheriff
of Lexington county. A warrant for
V.io otrnct io In f}io T1 He flf A TTlAEHS

trate of Newberry county and there
is also one in the hands of a magistrate
in Richland county. These
warrants charge Felder with conspiracy
to defraud the State of Soetth
Carolina and with attempting to
bribe a State official. The whole is
the outgrowth of the affairs of the
old State dispensary.
Would Issue Requisition
Gov. Blease further stated that
if some detective in Baltimore should
desire to get the $200 reward and
should arrest Felder he would issue
a requisition on the governor of |
Maryland for his return to this State. I
He said he wanted to see the charges
against Felder thrashed out and to
this end he would do all in his power
to have him brought back to South
Carolina and made to face a jury.
Decrease Shown in Child Labor.
There has been a decrease of 33
per cent, in the number of children
in the cotton mills of South Carolina
according to reports furnished Commissioner
Watson by 70 companies.
In 1911 the total number of children
in the mills under 16 years of
age was 4,221 and the reports this
year show the number to be 2,734.
The reports filed show that no children
under 12 years of age, are employed,
while in 1911 there were
168.

ern track near the mill this morning
about 5 o'clock. Coroner Louthian
held the inquest to-day. The gist of
the evidence showed that Putnam
with three other young fellows were
at the letter box in front of the mill
and that Putnam swung on a passing
freight train and rode about the
length of a box car. That Eubanks
came out from the other side of the
train when it passed, and arrested
Putnam. After they had got out of
sight coming toward tne city a snot
was heard and Putnam's companions
and Night Watchman King of the mill
ran up to find Putnam had been shot.
He died in a few moments. No witnesses
saw the shooting so far as has
appeared. City Attorney Wilson at
the inquest stated that Eubanks admitted
the shooting, but claimed selfdefense.
The verdict was that Henry
Putnam came to his death by pistol
shots at the hands of Gus Eubanks
while in discharge of his duty as a
policeman of the city of Rock Hill.
Eubanks surrendered immediately after
the killing and will be sent to jail
to await the making of bond.
The coroner left immediately for
Roddy's Station, where a negro was
killed by another while in a crap
game.

Gonzales and Hemphill Obtain In- (

Greensboro, N. C., June 15.?In
the United States court here to-day, I
Judge James E. Boyd signed an or- i
der restraining the present owners s
of the Charlotte Observer and the j
First National Bank, of Charlotte, t
from the collection of notes held 1
I against Ambrose E. Gonzales, for I
shares of stock of the Observer Com- A
pany deposited as security for pay- g
ment of said note. The order was s
signed upon the petition of attorneys c
representing Major J. C. Hemphill, j
former editor of the Observer, and j
Mr. Gonzales, former general man- f
ager. June 22 was fixed as the day j
for hearing why the injunction
should not be made permanent. f
The complaint charges that by c
reason of the conspiracy between D. 1
A. Tompkins, George Stephens and t
W. H. Wood, the plaintiffs were oust- i
ed of their interests in the stock, i
management and control of the Ob- server
Company, contrary to contract I
made between the five when the com- "
pany was reorganized about six
months ago. The plaintiffs ask that
a receiver be appointed to collect the ]
assets of the company. ]
All of the parties to the suit are 1
prominent in Southern journalism, J
Mr. Gonzales being also one of the ]
owners of the Columbia State. Major
Hemphill is now with the New York j
Times. He was for twenty years edi- (
tor of the News and Courier, of Char- <

In a statement to-night, George <
Stephens, of the Observer Company,
and a defendant to the suit, stated 1
that the matter referred to a tenta- <
