"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

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.

preacher. He has been preaching I
; 40 years. Those v?ho heard h

him recently say his ability has
i creased rather than declined.
Mr. Cox was born July 19, 1S(

Mrs. Esther Reed of Philadelph
defied the British, who were at tt
time in possession of her home ci
by clothing and raising funds for t
American army at Valley Forge. I
I on her death the work was continu
by Mrs. Sarah Bache, daughter
Benjamin Franklin. Hundreds of ol
er Philadelphia women secretly <
operated.
The wives of most of the comar
ing generals?notably Martha Was
, ington and Mrs. Nathaniel Greene
acompanied their husbands in eve
campaign, and did everything in th<
power to alleviate the hardships
the soldiery. Mrs. Washington ev
went through the cruel winter at Vi
I ley Forge, where her ministratio
are said to have saved many liv<
, Still other women went into Briti
- prisons and prison ships to 6ave t
sick and wounded American prise
ers.
Mrs. Elizabeth Jackson, mother

prison fever contracted while engag
in this work of mercy among t

Mary Draper invented the pewt
bullet, which came into use after t
supply of lead was exhausted, a:
i thousands of patriotic women t
country over surrendered their pri
pewter utensils to be melted up t
ammunition.
Mrs. Rebecca Motte, whose sple
did mansion between Charleston a;
Camden, S. C., was turned into a fc
by tfie British, instructed the besie
ing Americans to set the structu
afire by shooting blazing arrows i
the roof. The result was that t
British were smoked out, though t
mansion itself was reduced to ash<
But the most bizarre service of:

was renaerea oy niiuuj ocuj n?6<
known also as Betty the Blacksmil
who refitted guns and artillery f
the patriotic armies. Betty was
natural mechanic, whose latent ab
ities were developed in the employ
Samuel Leverett, a blacksmith-farm
living near Boston.
Prior to the battle of Concord, t
patriots of the surrounding count
had been preparing themselves f
i the conflict for months. Guns of i
types ? matchlocks, smoothbor*
blunderbusses and what not, some
which had not seen service for thr
i or four generations?came piling i
to the Leverett shop, and while Li
. 'erett himself could be observed
any tory to be busily engaged in sh(
. ing horses, his unsuspected assi
i ant was working in a secret chamt
. making the neighbors' antiquat
. old firearms serviceable once mo
Betty kept up this volunteer wo
throughout the whole course of t
; war, never accepting a single cope
i for her labor. To Betty and her e
plover, likewise, belongs the credit
. putting the first capiurea cauuuu u
action. On the retreat from Concc
j the British left six brass cannon 1
. hind them, thoughtfully spiking t
[ touchholes so that they could not

; Betty and Leverett, however, i
i tiently drilled out the spikes at t
. rate of one a week, and in no lo
time the British found the beleagui

she said, left her June 10 for San A

ke June 13 Mrs. Dennis cashed a drj

supposedly to close up Mexican i
vestmests. A telegram from New C

on The case was complicated still fu

He said he had acted as attorney f
ar Mrs. Dennis when she obtained a (

a by Mrs. Nelms, were that Inne
ll_ wielded a hypnotic influence ov
of Mrs. Dennis and that he had proi
er ised to turn over to Beatrice dee
for Mexican property he was suppc
be ed to have purchased for her. It w
rv to get these papers, Mrs. Nelms a
i* serted, that Beatrice Nelms went
all Houston. Another statement, lat
BS denied by Inness, was that he hi
Qf in Atlanta early in June.
ee When located in Portland, Inne
jn_ declared Mrs. Dennis had told hi
she made several attempts to k
herself and that she had planned
kill her sister. He denied empha
st_ cally the statements of Mrs. Nelr
ier and said he never had represent
