BEES BY MAIL GET BUSY.
Escape in San Francisco Office and
Stir Things Up.
A diminutive hive of bees, consigned
to Josifi Adberigi, of Incerness,
Cal., was lifted from the mail
pouch by Fred O'Toole, chief clerk at
the local postoffice, to-day. The insects
began to emerge from a corner
of the box which had been broken in
\ transit. O'Toole says there were a
million of them, and that they were
as busy for a few moments as it was
possible for bees to be.
After the bees had escaped O'Toole
examined the little hive and found
thfct it contained a queen bee, inclosed
in a private compartment. He liberated
her and her subjects collected
about her. Then it was an easy matter
for O'Toole to entice the swarm
back into captivity.?San Francisco

WAR OX BLIND TIGERS.
Citizens of Allendale Meet in Mass |
Meeting to Take Steps.
Allendale, Feb. 13.?As a result of
a mass meeting of representative citizens
held last night in the town hall
about 20 or more of the best citizens
volunteered to give the blind
tigers a warning, and accordingly today
visited a half dozen places suspected
of violating the law. They
were accompanied by the town council,
who promise their co-operation.
Up to a short time ago Allendale
boasted of being one of the most
law abiding places in the State, although
it is whispered that tigers
have existed all along, but recently
they have been growing more and
more open in the defiance of law.
Credit should be given to the ministers
for the influence they are exerting
in putting down the violation
of the dispensary law.. In response
-of the rumors of the existence of
tigers they have taken an active part
in preaching against them.
The citizenship of Allendale, which
is noted for its orderly and law abiding
character, will not tolerate the
? 'v ^ V> ft f V?oo r/\AAr?f_
UyCLL V lUicl tlUli ui law iiiai iiao itvcuvly
become so defiant. Another mass
meeting is called to meet in the town
hall to-morrow night for the purpose
of putting the law into operation
against offenders in case they continue
in business.
RATS EAT PAINTED APPLE.
Fools Sight of Mice, Recalling Tale
Phidias's Work.
Plutarch relates that Phidias, the
Athenian sculptor, copied nature so
faithfully in his designs for the
frieze of the Parthenon that birds frequently
cracked their bills pecking at
the grapes wrought in marble.
A close analogy to this historic anecdote
was experienced by Mrs. Clara
M. Sims of the college of agriculture
at the University of Illinois, at Champaign.
Mrs. Sims is a painter of still
life in water colors. She has a large
collection of paintings of apples,
peaches, grapes, and foliage.
On Friday she painted a large red
apple clinging to its sprig, which was
? r ~ 1
mounted wun green luuage. one
left the painting in her office at the
college and went to her residence at
1004 California avenue. When she
returned yesterday morning she
found that mice had eaten the whole
of the apple and had left the sprig
and foliage intact.
"I never believed the story about
the grapes of Phidias," said Prof.
Sims, husband of the artist, "until
this morning. There was no depth,
body, nor odor to the apple that Mrs.
Sims painted, and yet the mice ate it
entirely and left the rest of the picture
unharmed.
"The pigment in the water color
has no taste or odor, and the rodents
must surely have been attracted to
the fruit by sight alone."?Chicago
dispatch to Cleveland Plain-Dealer.
BODY HANGING FROM LIMB. 1
51 ute Evidence of Work of Louisiana
Lynchers.
Shreveport, La., Feb. 15.?The
body of Charles Tyson, negro preacher,
residing naar Myrtis, Caddo
Parish, was found hanging to the
limb of a tree late Friday afternoon
by deputy sheriffs, who, on the request
of the dead man's wife, had
been searching for him.
It is not known who did the lynching.
The sheriff is making an investigation
and arrests are expected
during the day.
SENDS IJl'LLET INTO HIS HEAD.
Edward Strout, Young Woodruff
Farmer, Commits Suicide.
Qnnrtanhnvo- Pe?h 1 T Pflvin^
the breakfast table this morning, after
complaining of his ill health, Edward
Strout, a well to do farmer,
whose place adjoins the corporate
boundary of Woodruff, walked into
the front yard and put a pistol bullet
into his temple. He died immediately.
He leaves a wife and one
child. He is survived by his parents
and several brothers and sisters living
at Enoree.
JUMPED FOR THEIR LIVES.
A. (\ L. Locomotive Smashes Into
Railroad Tricycle.
Florence, Feb. 15.?A very serious
accident was averted near Effingham
yesterday on the Atlantic Coast Line.
Two linemen of the Southern Bell
Telephone Company and a negro laborer
|cere on a railroad tricycle, going
south from Florence looking for
trouble with the wires of the Bell
Company, which are strung along the
railroad company's right of way between
Florence and Charleston. The
men were watching the wires and not
thinking of a train behind them. All
of a sudden they heard the whistle
of a locomotive behind, and as they
turned to look saw one of the monster
freight locomotives bearing
0
heavily down upon them and only a
few yards away. The three men
nmoklv inmned for their lives, and
"l v ? r - ? - r
as they passed*over the ends of the
cross-ti^s the locomotive struck the
tricycle, cutting it in half and crushing
it under its wheels, completely
wrecking the tricycle. The men
were frightened out of their wits for
a few moments, but were glad to get
off with no bones broken. The train
was stopped after the collision, but
there was nothing to do but report
the accident, as no one was injured.
NEARLY 3-MILLIOX INCREASE.
Postoffice Appropriation Rill Reported
to Senate.
Washington, Feb. 17.?An increase
of nearly $3,000,000 in the
annual postoffice appropriation bill
was made by the senate committee on
postoffices, which reporte^ the measure
to the senate to-day. The total
asked for is $2S3,374,442, the sum
including an increase of $2,500,000
in railway mail pay occasioned in
part by the establishment of the parcels
post.
A new weighing of the mails, covering
a period of thirty days from
September 10, 1913, is provided by
the bill as reported to the Senate.
This step is recommended because
the parcels post has greatly increased
the weight of the mails and the
railroads claim they are entitled to
compensation on a new basis. The
bill also'would stop the present practice
of carrying second class mail on
fast freight trains.
The plan of allowing communities
to nominate their postmasters is embodied
in the bill and would apply
to all fourth class postoffices where
the postmaster's salary is more than
$300. The bill does not make such
nomination compulsory.
ELBERTON MAWS HOT BATH.
Modesty Almost Prevented His Escape
from Steam Death.
Elberton, Ga., Feb. 17.?John
Clark, 20 years old, who works at
the Elberton Steam Laundry, had a
narrow escape from being steamed
to death last Friday about the noon
hour. He decided to take a bath
while the plant was shut down for
dinner, and climbed into the big
washing machine, which was about
half full of water, turning on the
steam. This machine rolls on axis.
It is like a huge hogshead, and has
an oval shaped door that works on
hinges. The door has spring locks
an? can be opened only from the outside.
Soon after Mr. Clark climbed in
the machine and began splashing
around in the warm, steam-heated
water, the machine turned slightly
on its axis and the big door carpe
down with a bang, locking him in
tight and fast. Knowing that the
other people who worked around the
plant were away for dinner, and feeling
the steam growing hotter and
hotter, he began to scream for help
as loud as he could. His cries finally
reached the ears of a lady residing
near by and she ran to the rescue.
But her arrival did not relieve the

bathing, as George du Maurier, of
"Trilby* fame, described as "the altogether."
and, unlike Trilby, was
too modest to come out of his steamheat
bath entirely nude, preferring to
die a marytyr to his ideals of decency
and live forever after in the memory
of those who preached the slogan
of Patrick Henry?"Give me modesty,
or give me death."
The lady soon took in .ne situation
and lost no time in securing the assistance
of those who could save
from scalding to death the man that
she was powerless to help. She ran
back home and got a negro servant.
She returned as soon as she could
with the negro boy, who opened the
door.
The steam and water had by this
time taken off patches of Mr. Clark's
skin. The lady stood near by congratulating
him on the fact that she
heard his screams for help. "Bin
this water is hot and getting hotter
all the time, and I can't get out as
long as you are in the building," said
Mr. Clark. The lady, blushing, took
in the situation and beat a hasty retreat,
allowing the scalding man to
crawl out of the steam chest, badly
scalded, but as modest as a woman.

KILLED IX AUTO ACCIDENT.
Mrs. Annie McLendon's Neck Broken,
in Columbia.
Columbia. Feb. 12.?.Mrs. Annie
.McLendon lost her life to-night at
9 o'clock when an automobile in
which she was riding was precipitated
from a bridge into Rock Branch,
near the Columbia Union Station.
She was the wife of Millen H. McLendon.
She was 28 years bf age.
Mrs. McLendon, with her husband
and his sister, were returning home
when the fatal accident occurred. The
point at which it happened is about,
two blocks south of the Union Depot.
Mr. McLendon was preparing
to ascend the hill leading to his
home, at 1,206 Wharley street; turning
out from Main street he veered
too sharply and the car was hurled
from the "bridge crossing Rocky
Branch at that point, into the waters
below. The occupants of the car
were pinned under it, Mr. McLendon
ana ms sister, uuwcvci, uiaitagiiig
to extricate themselves and to summon
assistance.
The body of Mrs. McLendon was
immediately rushed to a local hospital,
where it was discovered that
she was beyond medical aid. It was
apprehended at first that death had
possibly resulted from drowning, but
an examination developed the fact
that her neck had been broken, death
probably ensuing instantly. No trace
of any water was found in the lungs.
Miss McLendon's arm was injured i
by the fall from the bridge and the
consequent pinning under the wreckage
of the car. Mc McLendon holds
a responsible position with the Richland
Mills Company, being overseer
of the card room of the mill.
Prisoner Tries to Take Life.
Anderson, Feb. 15.?Arch Kay, a 1
white man 27 years of age, tried to
commi-t suicide in his cell at the ,
county jail, where he is being held ;
pending trial for breaking into a 1
pressing club in the Brogon mill vil- J
lage. Some time during last night
Kay tore up one of the extra ham- <
mocks in his cell and made a rope !
out of it. He put a noose around ,
x. is neck, tied the end of the rope to j
the cell ceiling and jumped into an- '
other hammock stretched across the
cell room. The other prisoners in
the jail tried to attract Shriff Ash- ,
ley's attention, but the sheriff was <
not disturbed until a crazy person in <
one of the cells near the jailer's !
house began yelling. Sheriff Ash- .
ley arrived just in time to save Kay's
life. With a sharp knife he cut the
noose and a doctor was summoned.
It took several minutes hard work ,
to revive Kay. Kay, it is said, wrote
a letter to his mother yesterday tell- (
ing her he intended to take his life.He
said to-day that he hung himself
because he was suffering from a dose <
of ground glass he had eaten. This j
statement is' not believed by the of- ,
ficers. Kay was a former resident of i
the Orr mill village. 1
