EXTRADITION FOR MRS. REAMS.
Governor Blease Wires Officers to j
Hold Spartanburg Woman.
Spartanburg, April 16.?Follow-,
ing a telegram received here last
night stating that Mrs. Grace Reams,
wife of Dr. Jefferson W. Reams, of
Spartanburg, had been arrested in San
Francisco after a search of nearly j
two years, word came to-day that she ]
was seeking her release through ha- I
beas corpus proceedings.
At the request of Cecil C. Wyche,
attorney for Dr. Reams, Governor
Blease telegraphed to the San Francisco
authorities to hold Mrs. Reams
until a formal demand could be made
for her extradition. Warrants were
issued here on June 12, 1912, charging
Mrs. Reams and J. Rogers McCaslin,
the insurance agent, with
whom she is alleged to have eloped, i
with adultery.
Mrs. Reams's whereabouts were
discovered by W. C. Gash, a Spartanburg
policeman, who was employed
in the case. He obtained the necessary
clues through somebody here
whose identity is concealed, to whom
Mrs. Reams was writing.
She was living in. San Francisco as
Mrs. Janie B. Rogers, and was arrested
at the postoffice when she went to
get her mail.
Before her marriage Mrs. Reams
was Miss Grace Harmon, of Prosperity,
S. C. She is said to own property
there valued at $15,000, and it is
claimed took $4,000 cash with her
when she fled. She is 2'i years old
and beautiful. McCaslin is 27 years
old, and from Greenwood.
Mr. Wyche to-day summoned Dr.
Reams to Spartanburg from WinstonSalem,
where he is now living. He
said Reams probably would go to
San Francisco. The principal object
of Dr. Reams's long search has been
to recover his six-year-old son, Orlando.
Attorney Wyche received a telegram
to-night from D. N. White,
chief of police at San Francisco, stating
that Rogers McCaslan was supposed
to be in Southern California

locate him. The Reams case was
continued until to-morrow, the chief
said, and expressed the opinion that
he would be able to detain Mrs.
Reams.
TAKES BICHLORIDE TABLETS.
Prompt Work Again Probably Saves
B. F. Cothran's Life.
Florence, April 16.?Benjamin
Franklin Cothrane, a young white
man, whose home, it is stated, is at
Aurora, N. C., and who recently came
to Florence to secure employment, is
lying critically ill at a local infirmary
as a result of having taken two tablets
of bichloride mercury.
The young man was found lying in
the hallway of the Rose building on

called and he was found to be in a
semiconscious condition. He was
immediately taken to the infirmary
and the poison, as best as could be.
was removed from his stomach by
the means of a stomach pump, and it
is now thought that he will get over
his foolish act.
It is stated that Cothrane attempted
suicide while in Charleston some
weeks ago, an account of which was
published at the time. It is also
stated that he claims to have been
disappointed in a love affair by a
fair maiden in another State and has
been under this despair ever since.
Cothrane is about 21 years old, carries
an empty sleeve, but is quite an
attractive young fellow. Since coming
here he has made a number of friends
and they were no little surprised when
they learned of his deed. Cothrane is
a telegraph operator by profession
and has held down several jobs at the
"trick" in this State. His family
was notified by wire of his act.
Honeymoon Hike Across Continent.
Tramping on their way from Ottawa,
Canada, to San Francisco, on
their honeymoon, Mr, and Mrs. John
D. Williams have arrived in Philadelphia.
They will remain liere for
several weeks and will resume their
journey when conditions of the Middle
West are again restored to their
normal state.
Williams has quite a reputation as
a long-distance walker. His home
formerly was in Newark, N. J., and
when he returned there about six
months ago he found that his mother
had gone to Ottawa. He joined her
there and met the girl who later beoa-mo
Vii<3 wifo Thev decided to take
the long walk as their honeymoon.
They pay their expenses by giving
lectures and selling postcards.
Williams carries a small diary, and
each day he has the postmaster cf the
village or city in which he happens to
he stamp the section devoted to that
day with the official postoffice stamp,
thus certifying his trip. This is one
of the several means of establishing
the genuineness of his long tramp.

ODD WAYS OP TELLING TDIE.
Many Devices to Keep Track of the
Flight of Time.
Many were the devices for recording
the ttipht of the hours before the
i r> cr n f tho pinole Tho most fa
mous, of course, was the hour glass,
which was made of various sizes and
capable of recording, with tolerable
accuracy almost any given interval
of time, although seldom one greater
than an hour.
The burning of candles was another
favorite device. Lines were
drawn at different elevations for the
fractional divisions of the period
which the candle recorded. There
ri-oc. oicn or> inp-priions water clock
*? uo aiov ui.i - ?
which is now occasionally seen in
museums* The sun dial, for marking
true time, was much in use in
early days. In our latitude it would
not be strictly accurate, except on
a few days of the year, and its accuracy
at other times would be of a
varying quantity.
A watch or a clock was as rare in
Turkey as an aeroplane is in some
countries today. Even at the present
time in the smaller cities and villages
of the Ottoman empire a timepiece
in the house is a luxury indulged
in by a few of the wealthy class.
Nature is the clock of that land, a
clock that never fails to serve its
purpose. The crow of the cock is the
simplest, the sun the most dependable
and convenient and the cat's eye
the most difficult and to Orientals,
the most humorous of timepieces.
The cock crows regularly morning,
afternoon and evening, and serves
the purpose of the striking clock of a
belfry tower. Some times a cock
crows at irregular intervals. In that
case he is unfortunate in Turkey,
since superstition demands that his
head be chopped off without delay
for to tolerate an "ill-crowing" cock
would be to court disaster!
Still another method of telling
time employed by the Turks is this:
They hold their thumbs touching one
another horizontially, and extend the
forefingers perpendicularly. Then
they divide the thumb and forefinger
of each hand into six parts, nominal
hour points, one hand representing
the morning and the other the afternoon.
Where the thumbs join it is 12
o'clock, the tip of one finger representing
6 o'clock in the morning and
the tip of the other will point to the
correct time, as judged by the hours
nominally marked in the mind. The
hour divisions may be divided into
additional parts, as the quarter hours.
To tell the time by the cat's eye
seems an absurd proceeding, but the
Turks do it. The average person is
perhaps not aware that the shape of
the cat's eye undergoes changes during
the day. In the morning the pupil
is normally circular, but gradually it
narrows until noon, when only a
narrow streak is left. As the day
progresses it resumes its r.crmai
shape, becoming oval about 3 o'clock
in the afternoon. In Turkey it is
common for the old folks to call the
cat to their sides in order to asc*.
tain the time.
In illustration of the accuracy
whereby time can be measured by the
shadow cast by the sun there may be
cited a trial in Nebraska a year o-r
two ago, held in the month of January.
The defendant was acquitted of
a charge of murder by means of the
alibi established by the shadow of a
church steeple cast upon a photo
graph that contained the two accusing
witnesses. These witnesses had
testified that they had seen the defendant
between the hours of 2 and 3
in the afternoon while returning from
church after the picture was taken.
But from the angle formed by the
shadow and the horizontal boards of
the church in the photograph an expert
calculated the time the photograph
was taken, with the result that
it was ascertained that the exact moment
was during the afternoon at
3:31:20, one hour later than the witnesses
had testified they had met the
accused.
The testimony given by the astron
? - - -? J .. +
omer was so ciear auu cuuciusne iuai
there remained no doubt in the minds
of any one that the accused could
not have committed the crime. It
was shown that it would have been
impossible for the witness to have
seen the accused at the scene of the
crime at the time it was alleged to
have been committed. The accused
was acquitted.?New York Press.
CONTAINED WASTE PAPER.
Express Package from Brunswick,
Ga., Should Have Had $5,000
Atlanta, Ga., April 18.?Marked as
containing $5,000 in currency, an express
package was found to hold only
waste paper when opened at the Central
Bank and Trust Corporation here
Thursday morning. It was shipped
from Brunswick, Ga., Wednesday
night by the Brunswick Bank and
Trust Company, and that institution
is said to have made a demand upon
the Southern Express Company for
the amount lost. So far as known no
arrests have been made.

GOV. BLEASE'S COMMENT.
What He Has to Say on Resignation
of I)r. Mitchell.
Columbia, April 14.?The following
interview on the resignation of
Dr. S. C. Mitchell as president of the
University of South Carolina was dictated
by Governor Blease:
"I am not surprised at Dr. Mitchell's
leaving. I knew when I made my
I inaugural in January that I was sending
in o centre shot, and when 1 inItrnrinrpd
mv resolution at the board
[meeting the other day, which I alone
[voted for, I saw before me a resignation.
Broken-down and retired politicians
may vote against you, but
they are generally losers, and I never
iget disneartened when they disagree
with my ideas. It is a sign that I win
J?and I did. When a fellow is pausing
between two jobs, a resolution
ike that from the Governor and chairman
of the board makes him hasten
to the other job, even if the other
fellows do vote "no." So, after that
resolution, I am not surprised that I
won my victory as soon as I did, And,
now, answer me a question: How do
you suppose those trustees, the students,
the Chamber of Commerce here
and othersfeel, sayingto .Mitchell,'Oh,

"I care not for thee.

"Who knew him best?they or I?
It is an old saying, and a very true
one, 'He is a wise guy who knows
when to quit. ' "

The Cold Year 1830.
One of the most remarkable stories
of sudden cold weather is to be
found in a famous biography of Abraham
Lincoln. The year 1836 was
long known as "the year of sudden
change." At noon on December 20
of that year, after a warm, rainy
morning, the temperature suddenly
fell 40 degrees. A man riding into
Gnrin p-fioiri fnr a marriaee license
found the raindrops dripping from
the bridle and beard changed "in a
second" into jingling icicles. Geese
and chickens were caught by their
feet and wings and frozen to the wet
ground. A drove of one thousand
hogs being driven to St. Louis rushed
together for warmth and formed a
huge pile. Those inside smothered,
while these outside froze, and the
ghastly pyramid remained on the
prairies for months. Men caught on

When the Proof Can Be So Easily Investigated.
When so many grateful citizens of
Bamberg testify to benefit derived |
from Doan's Kidney Pills, can you I
doubt the evidence? The proof is not)

Read what a resident of Bamberg
says about Doan's Kidney Pills. Can
you demand more convincing testimony?
J. J. Smoak, Bridge St., Bamberg,
S. C., says: "I have used Doan's Kidney
Pills which I procured at the
People's Drug Co., and can strongly
recommend them. I took this remedy
for backache and other symptoms of
kidney complaint and found* it to be
jnst as represented. You may publish
my endorsement."
