the Columbia State, who was
shot by Lt. Gov. J. H. Tillman

at Trinity Episcopal church on
Tuesday afternoon at 4 o' clock,

Satterlee conducting them. The
church was packed, and the ex

have a state exhibit at our own

no exhibit at the St. Louis fair
next year. There are too many
expositions. Some other town
will have one when St Louis has,
finished. South Carolina cannot)
.?end exhibits to all. Now is a j
good time to swear off.

Our monopolistic revolution is
profoundly disturbing the foreign
trade relations of European
nations; international commercial
comp?tition is fast increasing in
intensity, and those movements
can only add to the coufusioo
arising from the legislative treat
ment of this problem in the U
nited States. All these bisturbing
conditions are happening si mul
tan eonsly with the beginnings of
an unavoidable reaction ftom a
period of unprecedented national
prosperity, largely stimulated by
speculation. Unmistakable symp
toms are apparent of the begin
nings of a reaotion from the great
advance in the last five years,
which will prove a sharp test ot
the unsound conditions that have
found a recent lodgiug in trade.
Concurrently, wo have to face the
conse quences of the greatest finan

A Magazine Pistol.
From Newberry Observer.
The reports of the shooting of
Editor Gonzales by Lt-Gov. Till
man say that he used a "maga
zine pistol." Many inquiries
have been made as to the char
acter of the weapon. One who
is said is posted on the matter
of firearms says it is a pistol
that carries a steel ball or shell
filled with combustibles and
that if the ball strikes any hard
substance in ita course, such as
a bone, it will explode with
great force.

FiRST OF ALL EVICTIONST'
Moory or -Version ot tho Exp nt ?lon
From tho Gordon' of Edon,' -
Among tho. folklore of the peasantry
of Itoumnnia .and sonio of thc adjoin
I tog' Magyar states >of eastern Europo
is found thc story of tho expulsion of
dur' first parents from tho garden of
Eden. It rans tbuB:
When Adam and Evo foll, God sent
Gabriol, tho Magyar angel, to turn
them-out-of Eden'as ir punishment, for'
their alu. Gabriel was. received most
courteously, food' and drink of the
best being set before him. Now, Ga
briel bad a kind heart and took pity
upon .the poor folk and would not ac
cept their hospitality, remembering bis
errand. So he returned and begged
that sotno odo else be sent to evict the
stoners, as ho really could not do lt
Tba Raphael, the Roumaulnn angel,
I was sent"and was received as Gabriel
bad been. He, however, wnB very fond
of a good dinner, and so he sat down
and thoroughly enjoyed himself. Tho
feast over, he told thc erring pair his
errand. They, at onco began to weep
most piteously and beg for mercy.
Their bitter sorrow slouched his aft
er- dinner heart that he, too, returned
and asked that some one else bc sent,
as bo could not possibly turn out the
poor folk after accepting their hospital
ity. Then lt wus that Michael, tho
German angel, was sent He was re
ceived nu tho otbers by thc trembling
pair and treated oven marc sumptu
ously. Ho sat down nnd cn joyed, him
self .till thc last morsel of food had
vanished and there wasn't a drop of
liquor left Then he arose, nnd, turn
ing to his host and hostess, said, "Now,
then, out you go, and bc quick .about
lt" Most piteously did Adam and Eve
beg at least for-time, even reminding
bim that ho bad partaken of their
bread. All In vain. Thus It was tbat
our first parents were driven out of
Eden.
BULLETS AS EVIDENCE.
Odd Facts Developed br. Their Prom
inence In Murder Trinis.
Tho important part played in many
murder trials by. a flattened and mis
shapen blt of lend or steel, onco in tho
form of a bullet, ofteu lends to the de
velopment of some curious facts, says
tba Baltimore American. A leaden bul
let will lose appreciably in weight by
being fired, and the form of tho barrel
may tend to reduce Its size. In a rlflo
some of the lead is taken off by the
grooves. The friction also heats and
tends to partially melt the outside of
the ball, and because of this lt cbangCB
its Him po in thc air.
Ono peculiar fact about a bullet is
that it will very ofteu make a wound of
entry smaller than thc projectile itself
even in so brittle a substance as glass.
-Another strange fact about a bullet ls
that it will often pass through inter
vening clothing, making n hole that cnn
hardly be noticed, and yet carry on its
point "a circular piece of cloth. Thc car
rying of bite of clothing, bali' or dirt In
to wounds in such n manner greatly
enhances the dangers of peritonitis.
Were lt not for this latter contact tho
bullet would not be .nearly so danger
ous, as < Its rapid Hight and beating
make lt practically sterile.
Blackened edges of wounds are .moro
likely to have been caused by a lend
bullet although the ha ll with a lead tip
could also produce this result Rocard- (

and whenever fascinated by the al

Moon Influences.
Many superstitious beliefs ns to the
"influence" of tho moon still remain.
In soma localities it Is'believed to ho
unlucky to bo empty handed when ono
first beholds the new moon, and muong
tho same people having silver in the
hands or gold in the pockets is a "good
sign." If one is about entering upon
nu important undertaking, kb had best
defer proceedings', until . tho moon ls
