Her Interest.
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.

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.
Mrs. Boylston is survived by ber
mother and four brothers, her father
prece/"T' i her to the grave about two
years ; j.
She was a consistent member of
the Methodist church.
The funeral services were held at
the Blackville cemetery Thursday afternoon
in the presence of many
friends and relatives. Rev. Glennan,
her pastor, conducting the services.
Seven People Poisoned.
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

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.

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. J. E. F.

| NEGRO KILLS DRUGGIST.
Farm Hand Shoots I>r. L. C. 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.
