law. There has gotten abroad, in
what manner or how is not known,
a wrong iden about this business
and in justice to Mr. J. A.
Drake, the present efliciont (derk
of court, the following facts are
set forth:
No license is granted to hunt on
any man's land except by special
permission of tVe owner. It is
only by permission of the land
owner that a man can hunton his
land. The clerk of court or nobody
else can give the permission to
hunt anymore than they could give
permission to lake tho man's cow,
chickens or anything else which ho
may happen to have.
The clerk merely issues a license
to a resident of another state grant
ing him permission to hind, on
land in South Carolina provided he
gets the consent ol'the owner of
the land which he desires to hunt
on. The Clerk, acting as tho ofli
Ccr of the state, grants the Outsid

Mr. P. S. Stubbs, of Clio, is
the possessor ol' a piece ol' money

ter Krause had left it is ailee.,.1,
that Wiley, becoming uneasy,
went to thc pressing club and
found that there was no suit of

him. Ile at once got on the track
of his late guest and found him at
Maxton. He was brought back
to McColl and then hore and is

fused to talk but later said that he

Police Officer Found Dead.
Columbia, Jan. 26.-Chief of
Police A E Dargan, familiarly
known as Rab Dargan, a bachelor
about 50 years old and who lias
boen chief of police of Darlington
for fifteen years, was found dead
in a room in the city hall building
there about ten o'clock yesterday
morning by a policeman whom the
chief had asked to arouse him at
that hour.
Opinion differs ns to whether
Mr. Dargan committed suicide or
was murdered. Tho coroner's jury,
af Un- holding a lengthy session yes
x\xl i - ii ft uuiij ?> lift COlU mu?
stiff and he had evidently been
dead for several hours- There was
a bullet bolo in his forehead, the
bullet going entirely through his
head as if he, had been shot from
directly in front. If Mr Dargan
suicided he left no explanation of
his act and gave no intimation be
fore hand of such intention. So
far as is known his official record
was without blemish.
His own sleeping room was in this
same, building, and the policeman
who went to arouse him, not find
ing him there, instituted a search,
funding him in another room on thc
same Moor.
There was an empty chambor in
Mr Dargan's revolver, found by
his side, but this is not regarded
as convincing evidence of suicide,
because the chief was known to
carry the hammer of his weapon
on an empty shell to lessen the
danger ol* accidental discharge'
Ile was in his night clothes. Mr
Dargan is mourned by ono sister,
Mrs Leda Evans, of Darlington,
and a brother, Alonzo Dargan of
New York, with Sharpe & Dohme.
Mr Dargan >vas a cousin of Rob

cide occurred in Darlington a few
years ago, his tomb being reopen

What Bacteria Are.
Bacteria are plants. Although they
were formerly classed as animals, lt is
now universally conceded that they ar*
plants. They are single celled and of
simple structure, being composed al*
most entirely of protoplasm. They dlf\
fer from higher plants in that they con
tain no chlorophyl (green coloring mat
ter). Tliey resemble moro closely th?
yeasts and molds. There aro many dif
ferent varieties of bacteria. About 1?09
different kinds have been Isolated and
Studied, and new varieties aro txdnjl
found every doy. Bacteria aro very
small, being Invisible to the naked eye.
It would take about 10,000 average ste
ed bacteria placed end to end to r..i)M
an inch in length, or it wonld take
about 1,000,000 in a cube to make ft
mass large enough to lie seen with tba
