Thursday, July 16, 1914. "Wonders don't stop ceasing!" There is a candidate in Orangeburg county who says he has no fault to find with his opponent, but simply wants the office. This is a refreshing statement in view of present political conditions, when most fellows who want an office start out by criticising the administration of the fellow who now holds down the job. NEGRO IS KILLED. And Officer is Dangerously Wounded at Florence. Florence, July 11.?A. L. Powell, -/.Un/vmnn io jn Q hncnitnl. dancer puilvciuau, At? AAA M UVsrr.VM., 0 , ously wounded, and an unknown negro, said to have come from Sumter, is dead, as the result of an exchange of shots which occurred this afternoon when the peace officer undertook to arrest the negro for peddling cocaine. Policeman Powell found the negro, for whom he and other members of the force had been searching, in the bacltyard of a dwelling occupied by negroes at the extreme outer end of north Dargan street. He placed him under arrest. When he undertook to search hie prisoner the latter drew a revolver and fired at close range, the shot striking the officer in the abdomen. Policeman Powell returned the fire and the negro dropped dead with several bullets in his body. The policeman collapsed beside him, and was taken to the hospital shortly afterward by W. R. Barringer, mayor of Florence who happened to be inspecting street construction in the neighborhood. Quantities of cocaine were found in the dead negro's hangbag. He came to Florence some days ago, ostensibly as a vendor of patent medicines. He was accompanied by a negress. Officer Powell is said to have a fair chance of recovery. He has an excellent record. J. L. Gunn, coroner of Florence county, is investigating the case. It is likely that he will dispense with a ir?nn oct XVi max tu^uvov. I "Take-It-Back Day." The adoption and ratification by the people of Carmen, Okla., of a "Take-It-Back day" as a civic institution is proof that hot all the woolly product of that State is wild and unkempt. Some of it, as in this case, is well woven and a yard wide. Such a day is more needed than Flag day or Mother day. Well observed by the nation, it might be almost as good as Thanksgiving. The point and purpose of "TakeIt-Back day" is that every borrower shall on that day return every borrowed article of the past year. There is no exception for books or umbrellas. Whatsoever thy hand has received from a friendly neighbor during the whole of the bygone 364 days, thou shalt on this one day oi the year return to him or her with thanks and good humor. It is said in the reports from Carmen of the first day of observance: "Many persons that had grudges against one another took advantage of the general good feeling inspired by the day to make up. and several * neighborhood feuds were ended." It is easy to believe. What caller is more welcome than the one who returns a $5 bill or useful frying pan? Perhaps in time we shall have a "Take-it-Back day" for all the country and a special "Give-It-Back day' to which Wall street will be particularly invited.?New York World. STILL PREACHING AT 111. : Kansas Pastor Hitches Team a Drives to Church Every Sunday. Stooping under the weight of ye< ?Ill to be precise?the Rev.

A maze of clews evolv ?he indicate that the principals may ha p~ met foul play. Xelms, before leaving San Fra Cisco for Atlanta, July 10, showed telegram he received July 8, sign "Mamma," which read: "Look out for Eloise.
