It is related that the director of a certain famous museum was once showing a distinguished woman some of the priceless treasures of which he is the custodian. For a long time, it seemed that nothing interested her very much. Suddenly the director noticed a change in her-; her face lighted up and she leaned forward. "What is it, madam?" asked the director, gratified at this tardy sign of awakening appreciation. "Do not hesitate to ask if there is anything you would like to know." "That is awfully good of you!" exclaimed the woman. "I wish you would tell me what brand of polish you use on those iron ventilators that are let into the floor. We have the same sort of thing in my house, but my servants never get them to shine half so brilliantly." A Long Reach. New York police have been ordered to arrest aviators who fly less than 2,000 feet above the city. The spectacle of a traffic officer attempting to arrest an aviator who is 1,999 feet above Broadway is one toward which many people look with unconcerned pleasure.?Public Ledger. BLACKVILLE BUREAU Mrs. J. M. Halford, Manager. Death of Mrs. Boylston. Blackville, July 5.?Last Wednesday, June 29th, the town of Blackville and the entire community, was shocked and grieved to learn of the death of Mrs. Patalie Sweat Boylston, which occurred at the Baptist hospital in Columbia. Mrs. Boylston was universally popular, and leaves a host of friends to mourn her loss. She was the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Percy B. Swoat and -inct- a TitHo locc than a V *' VUV) (A li \-4 J UU V U AAVVAV AVtJO * year ago she was happily married to Glenn Boylston, a prosperous young man of Blackville, who is completely heartbroken over his bereavement.

A serious case of ptomaine poisoning occurred in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Crum Boylston last Friday afternoon, when seven people were poisoned rrom eating ice cream. .Mr. and Mrs. Crum Boylston and little daughter, Miss Marie Boylston, Mrs. Chester Matthews,"little Rosalie Mathis, and the cook. The cook was the first one to complain, and thinking it just an ordinary attack, she went home. In a short while others began to have bad symptoms, similar to the cook, so Miss Marie Boylston jumped in her car and hastened ftfr Dr. Brtggs. She became so sick on the way back she could scarcely drive the car. Dr. Briggs, with his usual promptness, was soon there trying to save them, and in a few days had them able to be out again, but yet a little "skittish" of eating ice cream. They cap't imagine what caused it, as everything pertaining to the ice cream making was perfectly sanitary so far os they could see. Lightning Kills Two Mules. One of the hardest rains known o nrliilo TVinrodav aftor. IC1/ iUI a, UtblC nunv xuuiwuu; MA.W* noon near Double Pond church, about four miles from here, on Mr. Henry Still's farm. There was also very severe lightning which killed a pair ' ro? mules - Mr.!- Alonzo : Hair, whose son-in-law is a tenant on Mr. Still's farm. Mr. Hair was passing and hitching his mules, came in the house to get protection from the heavy down pour of rain and hail. And it was while there the flash of lightning came that killed the mules. A Large Cabbage. Mr. I. F. Keeler, of the Healing Springs section brought to town Saturday a cabbage of the "Square deal" variety,-that weighed 14 3-4 pounds. He has others perhaps larger. . Personal Mention. ai> qti.1 at re t. R Free have re turned from a week-end trip to Columbia. They have three sons, Messrs. Rutherford, Lewis and Claude Free in business in Columbia. Mrs. Herman Brown and two youngest children, left for their summer home in Atlantic City, N. J., Monday afternoon.

Barnwell defeated the locals at Rhoad park here Tuesday'evening in J one of the best games of the season. The home boys were crippled by the absence of Captain Bamberg. Radeliffe pitched a good same for Bam oerg except in cue secuuu lunm^ i when Barnwell sot to him for four! hits, making all their runs during this frame. Fennel pitched stood ball all the way. although he was rather wild, walking several men. but tightened up in the pinches. Score: Bamberg 3 5 2 Barnwell 4 10 5 Batteries: Radcliffe and Cooner: Fennell and Hale. EHRHARDT BUREAU Dance Enjoyed. Ehrhardt, July 5. ? The "mid summer ball" pulled off here last Wednesday Evening in Copeland's hall was a brilliant and enjoyable affair. A big crowd, good music and Dlentv of dancin?. The music seemed to make the very soul drunk and those poor "creatures" that unscrewed the cap from those quart jars and partook of that water colored stuff. Oh! my, my! Is it true? Yes, and the odor, and they would smoke a cigarette, chunk in a wad of gum, talk straight in their girl's face, then both would smile and dance right on. It was the "Toddle," a brand new dance for this section Rain Floods Streams. The daily rains that have visited this section recently gave the fishermen a disappointment last Monday, the 4th of July. Several had planned to enjoy the day with the finny tribe but the rains had the streams flooded. "Last Friday Base Ball Special." Barnwell came, Oh! how rippin. Play ball, was the command from umpire tirimn. Ehrhardt got out of fix, W'hen the pill was dropped by Xix, And Barnwell beat 'em 8 to t>. On Honeymoon Trip. Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Moore stopped over with his sister, Mrs. Mattie Folk, last Saturday night. They were enroute to their home at Bamberg from their honeymoon trip. Edison's Questions. In looking over Mr. Edison's questions we find an important one that he left out, "Why does a base ball player spit on the ball?" This is especially true w^ith the pitchers. To be sure it is not to moisten the ball, for -this warm weather seems as the perspiratiop from the ungloved h.%d would keep it wet. If it is just a habit it is certainly a filthy one. Sugar Cane Season Approaching. Oh! joy, the season ror hunting iox and chewing sugar cane is fast approaching and a spin around the country shows that large patches have %?en planted, but how sad, as most bf it is planted near the farmers' homes. Dr. Moorer Recovered. Dr. W. W. Moorer was sufficiently recovered from his snake bite to return to his home at Lodge last Thursday. We don't know why the doctor caught this snake, but it is a common thing for boys to do, catch a snake by its tail, whirl him over your head (like you pop a whip) and the snake's head and snap off every time. Probably the doctor was figuring on opening a zoo at Lodge and thnuaht this a sood specimen of the snake family. His friends at E>hrhardt ask that he cut out snake catching as the scare he gave them was too great. Lightning Does Damage. Mr. W. F. Hiers's home and family had a close call last Thursday evening when lightning struck a tree in the front yard, the bolt passed down into the earth where it got on the water pipe, and going up in the bath room, doing much damage to the room and equipment.

Lipscomb At Ninety-Six. j , j Greenwood. July 5.?Two hours ; after the fatal shooting of Dr. Law"jton C. Lipscomb, prominent farmer *jand druggist, of Ninety-six, Pink ~! Griffin, a negro farm hand, was cap" t tured by a posse of citizens headed by BI L. M. Lipscomb, a cousin of the deau '; man, brought to Greenwood and *(turned over to the county officers. 31 The negro was spirited away from "! the Greenwood county jail for safe f ! | keeping. Governor Cooper will he asked to call a special term of court 5 to try the negro. A full confession " was made by Griffin to his captors. " David Machen, another negro implicated, was also carried away for safe keeping. Dr. Liscomb was shot six t times, thre? of the bullets taking ef: feet in the region of the heart. Following a reprimand given Griffin for beating his mule, Griffin followed ? him from from the barn lot and began j firing wrhen Dr. Liscomb was a short distance from his house. Apparently Dr. Liscomb had turned and made I an effort to wrench the pistol from the negro's hands, powder? burns and bullet wounds in the right hand indicating such. He was dead when his _ wife reached 'him. The news of th^ r fatal shooting of Dr. Liscomb quick3 ly-spread and fully 2,0U0 citizens formed a posse and literally combed i the woods and swamps for miles ? i i around. The negro was captured on II the Seaboard railway, near Alexan1'der's brick yard, about five miles t| from the scene of the deed. Sheriff rj Cannon Blease, of Newberry, was lj telephoned for and with bloodhounds j responded at once. When captured, the hounds w;ere hot on Griffin's tracks. Members of Dr. Lipscomb's , family urged that the law be allowed J| to take its course, and the posse dispersed soon after the negro was i brought to jail. Read The Herald, $2.00 per year. 5 ; DR.
