GOES FOR TEDDY lark Twains Left Oyer Manuscript Deals Roosevelt a Blow. GLAD TO GET HIM OUT Speaks of Teddy as an Incubus, Compares Him to a Golden Calf, and Mentions Him in Other Terms ami Calls Tuffs Administration a Breathing Spell. Rooks that wero owned and manuscripts that wero written by Samuel M. Clements (Mark Twain) collected in New York for disposal at auction at an early date. One of the early manuscripts is a page of note* for an outline of a portion of the story of "Tom Sawyer." Among the other manuscripts is " 1 ? ^ Hi n one described as "ah aruuic UIl tuv/ | Inauguration of President Taft and the deliverance of the country from Mr. Roosevelt," dated March 6, 1 909. A portion of it follows: "Astronomers assure us that the attraction of gravitation on the sm* face of the sun is 28 times as powerful as is the force at the earth's surface, and that the object which weighs 117 pounds elsewhere would weigh 0,00 0 pounds there. For seven years this country has lain smothering under a burden like tha.'; the incubus representing, in the person of President Roosevelt, the difterence between 4 17 pounds and fi.ono. j Thanks be, we got rid of this disastrous burden day before yestor lay At last! Forever? Probably .lot. "Probably only for a brief breathing spell, wherein, under Mr. Tafr, we may hope to get back some a. our health?four years. We may expect to have Mr. Roosevelt sitting on lis again with his 28 times the weight of any other presidential burden thai hostile Providence would impose on us for our sins. "Our people have adored this showy charlatan as perhaps no imposter of his bred has been adored since the Golden Calf, so it is to he expected that the nation will want him back again after he is done hunting other wild animals heroically in Africa with the safeguards and advertising equipment of a park of artillery and a brass band." A 55-STORY liriLIHXG. -? Rig New York Structure Will Tower to a Height of 750 Feet. From the profits of his five aim ten-cent stores Frank W. Wool worth is about to erect the tallest office building in the world on the westerly side of liroadway, New York city. It will be 750 feet high or about 50 feet higher than the Metropolitan tower, and nearly 150 feet taller than the Singer tower. The idea is to have the main but iding of from 2 7 to 3 0 stories. Surmounting this, directly in the middle, will rise a tower about 80 to 85 feet square, containing 25 stories,, making 55 stories in all. This new skyscraper, which will only be exceeded in height in the world by the Eiffel tower, 985 feet, will cost $12,000,000, or more. The land, which has been acquired in the past year, has cost about $5,000,000. The building will cover a total area of 39,500 square feet and there will will be 13,000,000 cubic feet in the structure. It will be of the highest fireproof construction. npuuiiu \v\? AVOTHKIt FIGHT. Another Warrant Sworn Out Against Younger McAbee. The latest developments in the tragic drama of Saturday night is that the McAbees engaged in yet another pistol bout a sbort while before tho old man met bis death at Holland's hands. Furman Turner Monday swore out a warrant for Will McAbee, the dead man's son now in the Greenville county jail, charging him with assault with intent to kill. Tho deponent alleges that ho mel the McAbees in the road just before they reached Laurel creek bridge th* point where tho men discovered that they had taken the wrong road and turned to retrace their way, and that when he failed to produce whiskey which he says they demanded of him they opened fire on him. A second warrant charging assault with intent to kill has been issued against the young man in prison. Alfred Thornason, who had a pistol duel with . Robert McAbee before he reached Mauldin, is the deponent in the lat ter action. ?. ? ? ? ? Greek Miners Killed.

FIGHT WITH A LEOPARD. Finally dispatched the Brute With a Hatchet. The Rev. Dr. G. A. Wilder, a missionary of the American board in Rhodesia sent by the Asylum Hill Congressional Church, of Ilartfora, Conn., in a letter from Silinda how he and two natives and dogs hunted and killed a leopard after the animal had (elled him and inflicted four poisonous wounds on the right side of his head. The native escorts sucked and dressed each of his wounds, and the hunt for the beast was resumed. Dr. Wilder said: "The leopard could not be seen, but soon he came rushing toward us, and stood at 20 paces. I <1 1 ? .. ,1 M n Knoitnnao ICn'/illOlli iireu cinii gui, mi >viojiuuuvi ....... climbed a tree, and the dogs took a fresh start. Nyuswa tired, and all this got 011 the nerves of the leopard which still kept hidden close to the ground. The dog squealed, but got away with her ear ripped open. We formed a close line and marched with rifles ready. In fire secoads the dog uttered a low growl, and quick as a flash I had a bullet in him, which was followed by a terrific roar. The J men followed the charge, and I got another cartridge into the barrel, | and he did not come on, but began I making away down the hill. "We had taken it out of him this time, but he stood again a few yeards J off below the second anthill, to which we went as quickly as possible. Kaziboni climbed a small tree, and, seeing the leopard, fired. "K. fired again, the dogs attacked, and the men rushed with spears, and the game fought desperately for a few minutes before he died. With broken legs, dum-duni bullets smashing up his chest, he fought with one paw and his mouth like a demon. There were seven spear wounds, and I finally smashed his skull with a hatchet." * ? ? ? ........ riv? Iil.ini till I 1 i 1 I .> 1 i I < ' l n.t i.'i i i.<<. Murderers, Forgers and Robbers Dined Together. A murderer, four highwaymen, five burglars, two forgers and three ordinary citizens sat down this week at a banquet in a prominent hotel in Los Angeles, Cal., as the guests of Leonard Mordaunt, himself and ex-convict, who is now at the head of the prison parole fund of the Union Rescue mission. It was largely through the efforts of Mordaunt that 1 2 of the guests were released from San Quentin on parole, and the particular purpose of the banquet was to have them meet Frank Mulford, state parole officer. The banquet was such a success that it was decided to hold another, to which all paroled men in Los Angeles will be invited. There are about 45 in Los Angeles. Mordaunt believes such gatherings will serve as a moral support to former criminals who are being reclaimed. + I'FX XV A DISH FDR MFALS. ? Mission in Washington, i>. i ., wen to AJ<1 tlie Poor. The high cost of living in Washington, D. C., for a time will have an interesting basis for comparison and contrast. The gospel mission has begun to serve meals on a onecent bill of fare. The menu embraces bread, coffee, meats, beans, soup, pie, vegetables, and fruits. Every article is offered at the uniform price of one cent. The manager, one of the mission employes, said that he could not tell whether the place would lose money or not, but it would run on the plan laid down by its generous patroness until the matter could De rainy lesied. Rent does not enter into the estimate of cost, as the restanran, is in a building owned by the mission. * Last, Sen Trip.

They HmI Been Convicted Twice an<l Were About to Enter Upon Sentence When Set Free. Remitting the jail sentences in the case of Ed. Abbott and Frank Dearman Governor Bloaee Monday acted " ' * * : In those well Known cases. auuuu and Dearman pleaded guilty to gambling in Spartanburg In 1 007 and wore each sentenced to pay a line of $60 and serve a year 011 the puohe works of Spartanburg county. The statement came from the governor's office that "they paid their fines and the governor has relieved them of their sentences." Abbott and Dearman pleaded guilty to the charge of gambling in July, 1907, and were sentenced by Judge R. O. Purdy to pay a fine of $60 and serve a year 011 the public works. The chain gang sentence, however, wae suspended during good behavior. In July, 1910, Abbott and Dearman were caught in a gambling raid at the Oregon hotel in Spartanburg and were fined in the police court and, later, upon a warrant sworn out bv representatives of the Law and Order league, were taken before Judge W- P- Oruber to show cause why the sentence of one year on (lie chain gting, suspended by Judge Purdy during their good behavior, should j not be enforced. Judge Oruber decided tlie case against Dcarman and Abbott, directling that they serve the sentence 01 a year on the public works. From Judge Oruber's decision an appeal was taken to the supreme court, Solicitor Otts appearing for the State. Last week the supreme court sustained the lower court, directing that they serve the sentence. When news of the court's decision reached Spartanburg Abbott and Dearman got busy with a petition for ia remission of the jail sentence. This was freely signed, it is said, and was I presented to Gov. Please Sunday b> S. J. Nichols, of Spartanburg, who, it is said, supported Gov. Please. BLISS, UP TO DATE.

'Senate Passe* Hill Prohibiting Their Formation. The bill directed against the for mation of ill-shaped counties and particularly of public interest following tho recent Ileyward County controversy, Friday night passed the Senate, the original bill being amended. Disavowing any intention to make a local bill of the proposition, Senator Croft, of Aiken, the county affected most by the proposed formav tion of Hey ward, held up before the Senate a map showing that Heyward would have a very narrow width almost midway between the two ends of the long proposed new county. OHO or l IIC nwiliinn n l lJUl uvavi Kivu the sight as a "narrow waisted" county. Senator Croft made a lengthy speech, going into the Heywara County tight and showing that that battle was now over and the bill was drawn to meet general conditions. Senator Summers, of Calhoun, led the opposition to the bill, which tie declared was drawi to prersat ths formation of one new county, nams1 J, Heyward. Senator Summers made a telling speech against the bill but when the vote on the passage came there had not been mustered enough ballots to kill the bill. Constitutional objections wore raised to the bill, but these did not prevail. The measure has intermittently been debated several days in the Senate. As passed by the Senate, the bill provides that the General assenbly shall hereafter establish no new county, the greatest length of which shall be more than fom time as long as the least central width thereof. "General width" means the width of such proposeu new county not entirely within eight miles of the end thereof. k<;g wins him a with. ii*.... * <* nit: V'luto on Slu'll and Soon C*ot an Answer.

Miss Margaret G'rayner, of Brooklyn, X. Y., noted the name, the address and the date, and, being struck by the oddness of the affair, wrote to the young man, more as a joke than anything else. Later photographs were exchanged, then letters and finally Taylor journeyed East to see in real life the object of his peculiar little romance. Things were better in real life than on paper and after a short courtrliip he returned to Alexandria. He did not write on any more eggs? lie didn't have to? he was engaged and Ire loved the girl and the girl loved him. Last week Taylor returned to Brooklyn and was married to Miss Or-nyncr.
