r MOUNTAINEER PARDONED.
HIS WIFE HELPED TO SECURE
THE PARDON.
Officers Think It Impossible to Make
?
Money In Mountains Unless
Whiskey is Handled.
I Greenville, Aug. 16.?Avowing
that he is innocent of the offense
for which he was sent to jail and
t declaring that he is grateful to President
Wil6on for his pardon and to
Congressman Johnson and to Senator
Tillman for their intervention in his
I
behalf, Noah R. Wilson, a well-to-do
citizen of Saluda township, this county,
who has been pardoned by the
president from a six months sentence
for violation of the internal revenue
laws, stated to a reporter today that
he expects to leave the jail tomorrow
for his mountain home to spend the
L balance of his days.
B Wilson who is now in his sixtyI
second year, is a man of means and
as he avers, has acquired most of
his money from the lumber business
in the mountains of Saluda township.
For several years Wilson was
a building contractor in Greenville.
^ Mountain Life, His Desire.
It was his life's desire, he stated,
? to own a large plantation in the
mountains where he and his wife
and family could live away from the
humdrum of the city and having
some money from his building operations
he purchased a tract in Sa\
luda township, his present home
where he now owns about 900 acres
nf -amnriprt land a saw mill and a
spoke and handle factory. He laughingly
remarked today that his prosperity
probably aroused the suspicions
of the revenue officers, who, he
stated, are of the opinion that a
: ^ man cannot make money in the
mountains unless it is through illegal
making and selling of whiskey.
He stated that he had never made a
? drop of liquor in his life, but on the
contrary was eager to suppress blockading,
as he knew it meant ruination
to any man.
Claims Hs's Innocent.
He thinks that his arrest, which
was made some time after the seizure
of a distillery, was due to mistaken
identity. He stated that he
was not even aware of the fact that
a still was in operation on his place,
and that he did not anticipate a trial,
but thought that the grand jury
would throw the case out immediately
upon the lack of evidence. Upon
the return of an indictment against
* him, he stated that he asked the
presiding judge to grant a contin
uance of trial in order that he might
employ some of the best talent in the
state to represent him." He wanted
to be cleared of the crime, he said,
for the sake of wife and children.
"It was for the love and honor of
them," said Mr. Wilson, tearfully,
"that I was anxious to be exonor
ated. As for myself I knew that I
was innocent and didn't object to
punishment."
The Bath House.
The Houston Post relates that Senator
Vardaman, at a luncheon, said
of a certain trust's defense.
"The defense is worse that the offense.
It takes me back to Bath
> Beach.
"A young lady at Bath Beach had
occasion to complain about one of the
bath house attendants, an old fellow
who, in the hurry of cleaning up,
would sometimes burst in upon her
in her bath house without knocking.
"One morning after this had bapj,
pened for the sixth or seventh time,
the young lady took the old fellow to
task.
" 'See here, Peters," she said 'there's
no lock on my bath house, as you
know, and I must insist on your
knocking before you enter. It hasn't
N happened yet, but it might very well
happen that you'd come in on me
> when I was all undressed.'
"Peters, with a chuckle, hastened
to reassure the young lady on this
? point.
" 'No fear of that miss.' he said.
'No fear of that. There's a knothole
in the door what I always look
through before I venture in.' "
How to Feed Salt to Stock.
I am asked: "How would you
feed salt to livestock?"
Salt may be given daily mixed with
the feed. If this be done, not over
three fourths to one ounce should be
given daily for every 1,000 pounds of
. the animal's weight. After extensive
experiments Babcock concluded
that a dairy cow should have about
three- fourths ounce for 1,000 pounds
weight daily and three-fifths ounce
additional for every twenty pounds
of milk produced.
Owing to the danger of giving
the salt irregularly, and giving too
much at times, the best plan is to
give about one ounce a day for every
1,000 pounds weight for about a week
in order to satisfy any undue craving
for it, and then put the salt in
boxes under shelter where the animals
can run to it and eat at will.?
Progressive Farmer.
STABLER WON'T ACCEPT OFFId
Resigns as Mayor-Elect of St. Mat
thews?His Reasons.
St. Matthews, Aug. 13.?A bomt
shell was thrown into the local municipal
camp this afternoon when J. G
Stabler, Esq., the newly elected mayor
of St. Matthews, sent in his resig
nation. It develops that the mayorelect
has been seriously considering
this matter since the election lasi
Thursday. He throws up the spong<
in answer to numerous and repeated
charges *that there is a bare possibility
of his majority of 13 votes having
been accomplished by the negrc
vote. Twenty-two negroes voted.
Mr. Stabler takes the ground thai
he is a white Democrat and has tht
respect of the best people, and thai
11C Cdii 11VJL aiJLUt U lu tai^i iiiv_cr lino guuu
will and esteem by lying quietly under
the charge that he was hoisted
into office by colored Republicans,
The situation is peculiar and Mr. Stabler,
it seems, was innocently made a
party to an unwise complication oi
circumstances.
The fight, it is said, was really upon
Chief of Police Dowie and Clerfc
Tom L. Buyck, both of whom are
good friends of Mr. Stabler.
Under all the circumstances Mr,
Stabler feels that he cannot retain
his own self-respect and that of his
friends by resting under the charge o]
fraud to procure his election. The
mayor-elect is an able and promising
attorney, who made a splendid rue
for the Senate last summer, and there
is no doubt about his having a bright
future ahead, politically and otherwise.
His friends regret exceedingly
the turn in local affairs by which the
town misses the services of an able
officer.
THE CALL OF THE WILD.
Montana Dog Led Wolf Pack Until
Killed by Hunters.
Bisley, a large Airdale dog, owned
by W. H. Reber, of Butte, was killed
while leading a pack of wolves near
Red Lodge, says Butte correspondence
in The New York World. Three
wolves were shot at the same time.
The following story can be verified in
ovorv Hatail anrl nrnvpc that T.nndfin's
"Call of the Wild" is not altogether
fiction.
Bisley was the special property of
Edward, W. H. Reber's son, and was
kept on the Reber ranch. "He was
the best hunter I have ever seen,"
said the young man. "I have been
out with him many times in a boat
on Rosebud Lake. The ducks would
no sooner drop in the water than
Bisley was out of the boat and after
them. Late last winter he disappeared.
A few weeks prior to that he
would go off in the woods, some times
staying away whole days. Then he
vanished altogether. I thought he
had attacked a cougar and got the
worst of it."
John Dunn had been troubled with
prowling wolves the last few months.
He saw the pack several times and
told of a strange looking light-brown
wolf that led the bunch. He believed
that if he could get the leader the
wolves would cease their daring attacks
upon his stock.
At last Mr. Dunn and several cowboys
started after the bunch. They
hunted most of the day, setting
snares. The pack was rounded up
and four of the animals fell. The
leader was the first one shot, as Mr.
Dunn was particularly anxious to get
T_ TTT1 ^ C- TV J
mm. YY aen ;\ir. jluiuu reacneu tut;
carcass he picked up, instead of a
wolf, the nuusually large Airdale dog.
It was Bisley, all right. A collar was
still around his neck and the name of
the owner on the brass tag.
A Dark Hint.
Somebody was talking to a newly
married couple who were spending
their honeymoon at Scarborough.
"You must not leave Scarborough till
you've seen the cemetery," he said;
"it's well worth a visit."
They said they would go, but they
forget about it until too late. The
young wife reproached her husband.
"George," she said, "you haven't
taken me to the cemetery yet."
"Well, dear" was the reply, "that
is a pleasure I must defer until some
time in the future."?Pearson's.
Big Chief Understood.
A Kansas City minister, visiting
an Indian reservation in Idaho, inquired
of a government agent where
the missionary could be found.
"The Chief can probably tell you."
replied the agent, pointing out his
tent. "Clasp your hands, look heavenward
and ask, 'Jesus man?' He will
understand you, doubtless."
The reverend gentleman did as directed.
"I presume you are seeking the
missionary?" replied the Indian ir
j excellent English. "Please be seated,
S sir, he will be in presently. If you
will excuse me I will go down tcr the
agency and lambast into unconsciousness
that fool clerk who directed you
here."?Kansas City Times.

2 SHOOTS AT DOG; HITS CHILD. W
Homer Eisman FireS on Animal and I
Wounds Clyde Erskine. J
> Anderson, Aug. 16.?Clyde, the 10
year-old son of Luther Erskine, was
. shot and wounded by Homer Eisman
. at 8 o'clock tonight, when Eisman
. fired on a dog supposed to be mad as
- it attacked young Erskine. The dog
r attacked one or two people before
t reaching the Eisman home. It had a
j fit in front of the Eisman place on
I Dickson avenue and Mr. Eisman
. hunted his gun. The Erskine child
. was crossing the street and the dog
) was attempting to attack him when
Eisman fired. The shot took effect
t in the boy and also in the dog. The
> boy's condition is not considered
t very serious. The dog ran off in a
[ wounded condition.
^ Silk Factory For Anderson.
Anderson, Aug. 16.?It will be
necessary to transplant 5,000 silk
J trees by Mr. V. K. Osiglan in order
to get the silk farm located here.
These trees are all now on Mr. Osig- P
lan's farm near Augusta, and it is !
: his intention to transplant the en- *
1 tire 5,000 trees and bring them to ??
Anderson, where they will be replanted
as the basis for the silk facL
tory which he contemplates putting
[ in this city, according to a statement
c made today at the offices of the
! Chamber of Commerce by Mr. Osig'
lan. I
) Paying Prisoners Wages. |
Kansas is now paying the prison- *
, ers of the Kansas penitentiary 10
cents a dav and the money is to be
> used to help the dependent families
of the prisoners. Heretofore Kan- .
I c
sas has been allowing 3 3-4 cents a
day to each prisoner, to be given C
him upon his release and on which ^
1 he could start life anew. The 1913
legislature passed a law increasing &
that amount to 10 cents a day, and ?
if there are dependent children of
the prisoner or a wife dependent ??
upon him the prison board is to pay
the money tp the dependents instead
of to the prisoner on his release. Ef- ^
forts were made to make the amount ?
25 cents a day to prisoners with relatives,
but the legislature refused to
make the allowance.?New Orleans i
, Picayune. A
Of Two Evils.
The little boy in this story from ^
Touche a Tout was evidently a firm
believer in the old adage, "Of two
evils choose the less." Turning a
corner at full speed he collided with' .
1 the minister. IS
"Where are running to, my lit- ^
i tie man?" asked the minister, when ^
i he had regained his breath. ^
i "Home!" panted the boy. "Ma's
i going to spank me."
"What!" gasped the astonished
minister. "Are you eager to have
your mother spank you that you run
home so fast?"
"No," shouted the boy over his
shoulder as he resumed his homeward
flight, "but if I don't get there
i before pa, he'll do it!"?Youth's
Companion.
Made Him Homesick.
A man walked into a restaurant p
and inadvertantly left the door open.
i A man eating his lunch immediately
i yelled:
"Shut the door, you fool! Where
were you raised?in a barn?"
The man who had left the door j
open closed it, and then, dropping
into a seat, buried his face in his f{
hands and began to weep.
The big man looked uncomfortable
and finally rising, walked up to the g
weeper and tapped him on the shoul- _
der. *
"M" ^ " v.? ?'T
.u > 11 icnu, iic oaiu, j. uiuu ~ I
' intend to hurt your feelings. I just |
wanted you to close the door."
The man who was weeping raised
his head and grinned.
"Old man," he said, "I'm not crying
because you asked me if I was
! raised in a barn. The fact is that I
- was raised in a barn, and every time
I hear an ass brav it makes me
homesick."?Lippincott's.
i Real Cause for Alarm.
Smith had just been operated on
for appendicitis, says Tit-Bits. Dur- fi
ing his period of convalescence he be- tl
I came quite chummy with the two oth- C
| er patients who shared the ward with v
j him. o
"How are you feeling, boys?" said a<
| Smith one morning to them. S
; "Oh, we are all right." thev both ?
' c
j answered together, "considering that
' I we had to undergo two operations."
| "Why, how was that?" questioned
'; Smith, in an agitated voice.
' "Because the doctor assigned to
! this ward is an idiot. In collecting
1 his instruments after the operation, St
> he missed a needle and a pair of !)r
[ scissors. The former he found in me, t
! and the latter in my friend here on t0
*, the right. You see now the reason ?
1 j for the two operations."
Just then the surgeon put his head ^
: in at the door and asked:
"Has any one seen my silk hat?" p:
Smith fainted. W
