ViCTIM OF MAD DOG
After Living Over One Month After
living llitton l>y the Five He Succumbed
to the Diotul Disease and
Die* of Hydrophobia at the Columbia
Hospital.
The death of another victim from
the bite of a mad dog must be added
to ino nunureus mat nave occurred
in the past. The Columbia Stale
snyo:
The tragic death of. John T. McUrady
at the Columbia hospital Tuesday
as a result ol' the bite of a dog
afflicted with the rabies brought sadm*is
to the conn ados of one of the
gallant wearers of the gray who,
trusting in his little puppy supposed
to be mad, attempted to give treatment
to the animal and was bitten.
Mr. MoClrady, who lived in the
upper part of Kichland county, was
bitten by his pet dog on April 28
and the disease did not develop until
May 27, a month later.
At that time Mr. MeOrady showed
all of the symptoms of suffering and
but a few days previously he had '
been treated wLh the "Koon cure.'
a loadstone remedy which it was
claimed would cure any case of
i aides.
Sunday night Mr. McC-rady attempted
to kill himself by cutting
his throat but his relatives interfered
and the unfortunate man was
brought to tile hospital a few days
ago.
Dr. W. A. Boyd, who was summoned
realized that the case was a
desperate one and gave him every
possible relief but the victim died
Tuesday, after several hours of sufi*
t
Ifrillg.
Mr. Mcflrady 1s (survived l>y a
wift* nlid two children. He was a
member of Camp Bookter, U. C. V.
MCLK KILLK1) BY LIGHTNING.
Two Colored .Men PrivinK it Had
Narrow Kscap?.
The Columbia Accord says a mule
belonging to Wilson Herbert, colored,
was killed on Sunday afternoon
' by lightning in the road near Mrs.
K. S. Herbert's farm, in MendenhaJl
township. The mule was being driven
along the road by Wilson Herbert's
son, John Henry, and Hiram
Nelson. There came a blinding flash
and a terrific report, and the mule
fell dead. Herbert was rendered uncensr.ious
for a good while. Nelson
was thrown about ten feet out of the
buggy. The mule was a valuable
one. In the same section of the
county, only n mile away, a cow belonging
to Jake Kinard, colored, was
struck by lightning and killed in
Mr. Bo u I ware's pasture.
BOMB IX LAt'XDBY.
I
Hip Song Toug Charged With the I
Deadly Crime.
In the war of the Tongs, in which
there have been many casualties in
New York city, a bomb was exploded
Tuesday night in a Chinese laundry
in East Twenty-second street.
A minute before the explosion a
Chinaman presumed to be the one
who placed the bomb, and came out
of the laundry and warned a score
of children playing in the street
away from the scene, telling them
that there was soon to be a great
explosion. A minute later the laundry
blew up.
The Hip Sing Tong of which Sang
I,ee, the owner of the laundry, is a
deadly enemy, was credited by him
with the explosion. The laundry was
wrecked, but no one was injured.
Hut (lite Kills a Baby.
Blood poisoning, brought on by the
bite of a rat, caused the death of
little Eugene Jamloau of Ottawa, this
week. The rat bit the babe while
it was lying in its cradle and although
medical aid was summoned,
death resulted in a few hours.

Why Not Hare Two Houra More of
It Who* It Does Not Cost You
O*? Cc*t?
If, on May 1st of each year, the j
standard of time throughout the |
United States was advanced two
hours, so that what is now live |
o'clock become seven o'clock, etc.,
and changed back to our present
standard on October 1st, it would add
gretaly to the health, comfort and
pleasure of all, through the summer,
without necessitating any
change as to daily habits, or create 1
any more confusion than if a West- i
era men went to some point East, ?
having a time one or two hours last- i 1
er than that to which ho was ac- j (
customed, hut would give two hours (
additional light for recreation and ! t
health-giving, and the use of two of !
the coolest and best hours of the 1
day for labor. Americans, in this <
manner, would obtain what those '
in England groately enjoy today. <
namely, two additional hours of j *
light. # j ?
This would leave the same number j i
of hours for business and sleep as :
now, and would give two better hours ' I
for the day's work, and two additional
hours of daylight to the even- 1
ing hours, which today are too short 1
to be of muoh benefit ft) those liv-j i
ing any considerable distance from j
th?ir place of business, and, as the
hours after business are the only !
portion of tile week-day devoted to [
pleasure and exercise, the lengthen- i
ing of same would bo appreciated by j 1
all.
Nothing is more conducive to
health than outdoor exercise, such
as ball, tennis, goif, boating, bath-i
lug. gardening, etc., so why not readjust
the hours devoted to business,
sleep, and pleasure to the benefit of
all?
Thousands of families would, un- |
der these circumstances. move into 1
the country or suburbs, who tire now !
held hack by the fact that the men j
at the present time could not reach I
their homes until too late to get 1
much benefit from a move of this
kind. '
As elderly persons and children 1
are given to early rising, the break- '
fast hour will become more regie <
lar, and many annoyances of today 1
will be avoided, and, during the <
heated term, it should prove of 1
special benefit to the school child- 1
ren.
As a rule, nearly every proposed '
rule, law-, or custom works a positive
injury or hardship to many who 1
club together and bring about much
opposition; it delays and discourages
those Interested in its passage, but,
in thiH case, as no property is destroyed
or depreciated, no one can
be interested in opposing it, and it
is one of the few changes that could
be made to benefit all citizens of
each and every state in exactly the
same proportion, and not call for
the expenditure of money by the government,
State or people. Railroads
would not be compelled to change I
their time-tables, as all trains would
leave in future at the same hour as
today. Local travel would be greatly
increased, additional money put
in circulation by the purchase of I
!
such things as are used for pleasure
and recreation, and additional value j
would he given to what already ex- ;
ists in the way of parks, play
grounds, gardens, resorts, boating
and bathing facilities, tennis courts, j
automobiles, carriages bicycles, etc., ;
etc.
In England, though they enjoy in j
summer time the benefits to he derived
from a movement of this kind, j
they are endeavoring to establish a !
custom to more closely follow the j
movements of the sun, which would i
enable them to gain millions of dollars
paid out each year for artificial
light. This change is being opposed, j
however, by every gas and electric !
light company, and their stockholders
i 11 every village and hamlet
throughout the kingdom, so that the
proposed movement in America
should not be confused with that
being agitated in England, and
should he accomplished at a comparatively
early date, from the. very fact
that is injures none and would be
of great benefit to millions.
To be beneficial and not confusimr.
is is necessary that the law or ens- !
toni become universal throughout
the Cnited States. It has no political
significance, so all should lend their
aid to the movement. Talk it up.
See that your friends thoroughly understand
it. Remember that millions
in Kngland, for centuries, have
been accustomed to exactly t hese i
same hours and its benefits. If you ,
do not need thOHe additional hours
for recreation on yourself, aid in
obtaining it" for those who do.
Kills Man and Mule.
A bolt of lightning killed Jim
Ryrd, a negro plough hand, on the
plantation of Mr. J. A. Clinkscales,
south of Anderson, and the fine mule
he was working. Same Clinkscales,
the young son of Mr. (Minksoalos. j
who was ploughing two hundred
yards away, was knocked down and
badly stunned, and his mule was also
knocked down by the bolt.

necessarily in writing of it use often 11
the word "home," for that is what it
is. A home its founders studiously (>l
wrought to make it. and t ho last act .
of the builders was to inscribe the ;1
word over its doorway, so that the
approaching veteran's first glimpse !l
of the house that is like to be his ?
last earthly dwelling place, should &
show him that this was indeed a.

gallantly to tho re/tone or the com- 1'r
mission in charge and supplemented ' "
largely tho appropriation which the n
legislature, through failure to understand
the conception entirely, failed
to make sufficient, and accordingly
the privilege of directing the opening
Ceremonies has been given to tlies*1 ,M
ilevoted women. They invito the at- ^
T
tendance on that occasion of all perans
interested in the home, and It is
to he hoped that many will avail w
themselves of this opportunity to in- ^
spect the institution. Much an in- v<
ypection, especially If re-enforced by a'
little interviews with the 20-odd vet- i w
crans already domiciled in the home, i ?
will remove from the mind of any
reasonable person whatever mlsglv- P
Ings may have arisen in regjird to Ci
the wisdom of the home's establish- ! l<
ment or its adequacy to the needs of t
the veterans for whom it is intended.
i ^
The place looks like a home, even ''
from a distance. The low white | "
building, green-trimmed and girdled '
by trees, with its white-columned
porticos, looks out over the city and 1
in the near foreground on every side ' '
are the gently rolling fields of a farm '?
calculated to gladden every farmer's i I1
heart?and most of the veterans I
come from farms. On the slope of ?
the opposite hill to the southwest lie c
the buildings of the Hospital for the j
Insane, making a picturesque feature g
of the view, but unconnected with ' ji
the home in any sense, even in ap- c
pearnnoe. Trolley cars of two lines i v
pass in view to the right and in t
front, and in the evening the light i
and sounds of the busy city pleasant- ' i
ly suggest the nearness of youth and t
abounding vitality. The place is I t
peaceful, but not suggestive of 1
boredom. ! t
The house is of one story, with r
basement, substantially built in t
frame construction. Its general plan I j
is that of a Latin cross, the main e
corridor, long, wide and airy, in- < I
tereected by a narrower hall running
approximately east and west. The I i
house faces southward. Entering t
trom the front, a wide porch, pro- a
vided with lights for the evenings, ! i
gives upon the main corridor, where ( v
arm chairs and setters are grouped f
irr a way suggestive of casual cozy t
gatherings after dinner. To the 1 ft a
is the commandant's office, to the ! a
right a parlor for the entertainment 1
of the home's friends, the very best;)
of whom are ladies. The living j c
quarters of the commandant and his 1
wife are entered by.the second door ;
upon the right The second room, j
where the veteran* foregather to
talk, to read, to play games, write
letters or otherwise amuse themselves
when the weather or inclination
drives them In from the lawn
or the piazzas, which at this season
are naturally preferred. A large
room is provided on this corridor
for the safe storage of the veterans' I
trunks and personal property not I

F.uch dormitory contains four single <

able lifatt posses and neat 1,1.<
spreads. The bath and toilet ar-1 i
rangements are altogether modern, I
sanitary and convenient. TCvorything I
Is clean as a hound's tooth. The 1
lights throughout the building are ]
electric and the entire building is j
I
-ated by steam. Livery room Is an '
itside room and all openings are

aro such that there is always

The dinging room Is a big, airy j
ace with plenty of windows and
hies seating eight or ten persons
ich. When a Record reporter Tlsit1
the home the other day supper
cue was near and the tables had
>en set, u significant item being tne
is? of fresh flowers from the yard
the center of each.
Behind the dining room is one of
e best equipped kitchens in tinate,
where a splendid cook works
a great massive range. An as-'
stunt cook has been engngi d and .
ill report for duty shortly. In the
nr of the kitchen are conveniently |
cut oil the pantry, the linen room I
id the medicine chest. In the
tter are kept llrst-aid bandages and
Hisehold remedies, besides such h
ugs as are likely to l>e needed from \
1110 to time. The main store rooms!
o in the basement, along with the.
ating apparatus. The home has i
large kitchen garden, from which
0 veterans are already enjoying j
elr own beans and turnips. Later '
t there will be other vegetables,
ith melons and green corn.
Full records of every department
e kept. For instance, when asked
>out the bills of fare, the command- '
it turned to ids desk and drew forth 1
random one sheet from a bundle.!1
I |
happened to be the menu card fori
ay 2 2nd and was as follows:
Breakfast Hominy, breakfast bn>n.
broiled; hot biscuit, butter, sy-j

Dinner- Lima means, rice and tointoes,1
Irish potato* s, corn lea ad, j
gbt bread, buDer coffee.
Supper-- Hominy, butter, hot. bislit,
stewed fruit, syrup, coffee.
"We try to make the hill of fare!
little different each day," s~ai I :
le commandant. "Twice a week I
nd on Sundays we have dessert, and!
n two da>s we have soup mighty
o<m| soup. Our cook is a fine one."
Tile veterans seemed contented
nd thoroughly at homo. The com-|
mndant, CapL. W. I). Starling, is a |
cteran; the adjutant, (.'apt. B. F.

deracy. They arc deeply interested I
i their work and a fine thing ft?r |
n? veterans, too, is the presence,
Ight and day, of Mrv. Starling. The
istitution is directly in charge of I
apt. Starling, chairman of the C'on derate
Home commission. The
overnment of the home, as arrang1
by Col. Cardwoll and Capt.
tarling, is simple and kindly,
here are few rules and none of
iese are such as an old soldier
ould not immediately see the necesty
of having. For Instance, the
eterans are free to come and go
s they like, visiting the city or
alking about the suburbs Capt.
tarling stipulating only that they
la 11 report to him where they exvot
to go. This is necessary bemuse
some of thein are feeble and
)r all of them he is responsible to j
Heir relatives and to the State.
The health of the veterans is
oubly provided for. The instituoil's
regular physician, Dr. Wilam
Weston, makes daily visits, and
wo of the -veterans are themselves'
ract it loners of long experience.
The assembly room has been I

by Record reporters has disiosod
to their satisfaction of every

eteran'a standpoint, that has come I
o their ears. The homo has iioth-1

t has absolutely no connection with
he State Hospital for the Insane;
he veteran who enters it does not !

hue is nothing of reproach or hu-|
