BAMBERG, S. C. J ( MUSICAL LEGS AND WINGS. j Low Katydids Fiddle and 17-YearLocusts Drum. Many of the little folks of field nd forest have fine musical instrulents and play on them night and day or three or four months of the year, ays the Woman's Home Companion, 'he long-horned grasshopper, or true atydid, is the leader of the band. He has two sets of wings, the outr ones used for flying, the inner nes make up the bow and fiddle. <ear the base of these inner wings i fastened a set of strong veins. Vhen he moves them eo that the eins on each wing rub together, it aakes a funny little wiry sound, nd that is what, is called 'grasshoper's fiddling.' Our common little green grasshoper is another fine player. His fidle is attached to one wing, and he ses his hind leg for a bow. On -this sg is a line of little beadlike lumps, rom each of which grows a number f fine hairs. When Mr. Grasshopper; raws this leg back and forth over j is wings his love songs trill out on tie summer air. His poor little mate tries hard to lake the same kind of music; she oes through the same motions, but an never produce a single sound, ihe never grows discouraged, but eeps it up night and day; and I supose her lover takes the will for the eed and loves her just the same. Another first-class fiddler is the ricket. His tune is loud and shrill. >ne tune by night, one by day, is his ule. He has even been known to hange his note when the clouds arkened the sun for a while in the ay. Some insects beat little drums hen they want to make music. The 17-year locust has two tiny rums fastened to his abdomen. They re fixed firm and tight, and to each ne is attached a strong muscle hich the insects can tighten or reix at will. It makes a sound sometiing like beating of a tin pan, and ill drown out every other musical ote of the summer day. Another queer player is the deathatch beetle. He burrows into old ood, and makes a tap, tap, tap, as e pushes along. The longicorn eetle produces a rattling sound by tie friction of his scaly neck. Many thers of our fairylike friends have rnsical arrangements that make us | tiink of fiddles. In fact the violins f our own use were probably sugested by* these little fiddlers of nalre. Accused by Aiken Girls. Augusta, Oct. 30.?Walter and larence Rhodes, brothers, and Wal3r Pounds, overseer for the former, 11 well-known farmers of Burke ounty, Georgia, were arrested to-day harged with violating the white lave law. They have been taken o Macon by Deputy United States larshal J. P. Murray, where a preiminary will be held. It is alleged that the three men ? ' ~ ^ J 1- T ,!? rent to Jtfatn, s. <j., anu iuuk uuw iddison, Susie James and Ola Fraier, three white girls for an automobile ride and refused to carry them iack home. Instead the men headd for their Burke county farms, rhere for four weeks, the girls claim, hey have been held in captivity and iave not been allowed to communiate with their parents. A letter written by the Addison ;irl to her mother revealed the thereabouts of the girls and an inestigation was instituted by the federal authorities at once. The girls old the officers that the men threatned to kill them if they tried to esape. )odges Policemen, Meets Bull Dog. Chicago, Oct. 30.?Through the letermined pursuit of a stray bull log last night, one of three alleged lafeblowers was recaptured after he chase had led through a crowded treet car and under a freight train. Three men were arrested as safe''"worc hv ripter.tives. One of the nen,' Angelo Roberti, broke away md darted down an alley. The dog, rhich had been following the offi:ers, ran after the fugitive and was it his heels when he boarded a car. File dog leaped on the car and made or Roberti. The pursued man plungtd through the car and jumped from he front platform, chased by the log. Roberti crossed a railroad rack by climbing a freight train, >ut the dog ran under the cars and vas ready for him. tYake Forest Boy Shot by Student. Raleigh, Oct. 30.?Frank Powers, iged 18, lies seriously wounded in :he Wake Forest college hospital, is the result of two pistol wounds nfiicted by Gordon H. Rhodes, a vochmsn nf the college. Powers is the son of a prominent )hysician, but not a member of the ;tudent body. Rhodes declared that he shooting occurred about midnight is he returned from a party, meeting Powers and a companion, both of vhom were masked. The companion led and his name has not been asiertained yet. i LET MEX LIVE FOREVER. Can Young Mrn's Heart be Put Into an Old Man Repeatedly? Atlanta, Oct. 30.?That the latest discoveries in surgery, instead of saving lives, may put a premium on murder, is the interesting view of several Atlanta physicians who have been interviewed regarding the recent experiments of transplanting vital organs. ? The experiments in question were the separation of the heart, stomach, liver, intenstines, kidneys and bladder of a warm-blooded animal from the animal's body, brain and nervous system, and having the former organs continue to function for hours afterward. The surgeons had a dog's heart beating under a glass case for ten hours after it had been taken out of the dog's body, and the dog's stomach digesting food just as if it were still in the living clog's ooay. The theory toward which these experiments point is that if the tissues and vital organs of a young man can be transplanted into the body of an old man and renewed often enough, the old man will live forever. The danger of such a discovery would be obvious in any country where men grow powerful and unscrupulous as well as old. Peeples in Harmony with Blease. Augusta, Oct. 30.?Attorney General-elect Peeples, of South Carolina, who was on a visit here, stated that no definite selection had been made for the place of assistant attorney general. He said that as this is a very important appointment, he is taking "plenty of time to consider" whom he will select to fill the place. Mr. Peeples is rather a young man to be elected to a position such as that of attorney general; in fact, he thinks he holds the record of being the youngest attorney general in the United States. He is only 29 years of age. v He says that he has a firm belief in the old proverb that "a house divided against itself cannot stand," and says that if the political house in South Carolina is divided, it, also, will fall, .and the public will suffer thereby. His relations with the governor, he states, are all that could be desired. He states he is satisfied that his work will be in harmony with that of the governor, with whom there is a strong personal friendship that has existed for some years. Lumber Company Suffers. ' Orangeburg, Nov. 2.?The Santee Cypress Lumber company, a $1,000,nnn lumber nlant located at Fergu son, Orangeburg county, has again suffered a big loss by fire. On last Saturday night the large new dry shed and picket shed and their contents of this plant were destroyed by fire. The loss will probably amount to $200,000, partially covered by insurance. Some weeks ago the large and costly equipment box factory and planing mill were destroyed by fire, entailing a loss of about $200,000. Insurance was carried on this loss also. This property has pretty good water protection and, with the valiant work of the employes, the immense plant was saved from destruction at both of the conflagrations. The box factory and planing mill are now being reconstructed and the dry shed and picket shed will also bo replaced. The fire on last Saturday night is suspected as the result of an incendiary. Mule's Foot Torn Off. Sumter, Nov. 3.?Friday evening Mr. L. D. Jennings, mayor of this city and a large farmer of this place, lost a mule under most peculiar circumstances. The mule was one of a fourmule team which was bringing a wagon load of cotton pickers in from the field. His foot caught in a railroad switch frog, and before the team could be stopped the other mules had pulled the mule on and the foot was pulled off from the ankle anl left in the switch. As the mule was in such a painful and fearful condition Mr. Jennings at once had a veterinary surgeon to chloroform it. The switch had been thrown down in the edge of the street by railroad employees, it is stated. Hudson Wins in Colleton. Walterboro, Nov. 3.?Leading his opponent, J. M. Ackerman, by a handsome majority D. B. Hudson was nominated Tuesday clerk of court for Colleton county, to succeed the nominee, the late E. R. McTeer. The election passed off quietly and a much larger vote was polled than had been expected, the total reaching about 1,700 votes. Mr. Hudson defeated J. M. Ackernian, who had been deputy clerk of court for a number of years. Mr. Hudson is a wellknown and prosperous farmer and saw mill man, living near Sniders. The official count gave Mr. Hudson 963 votes and Ackerman 759. rl . ? _ ^ g 9 We want every pipe and cigarette smoker H 3 . in this country to know how good Duke's S 2 Mixture is.
