it on the grate and it exploded, result

A freight engine on the old Three

was caused by an open switch. Both
engineers and firemen jumped, and
each received injuries, but not seri
ous. Mr. J. C. Hughes, of the shifter,
was perhaps the worse hurt, but i.A
able to be again at his work.
A BEAR STORY.
Thriling (?) Experience of Two Hunt
ers of Gaffney.
Two of Gaffney’?* rather mature
hunters took up their guns a few
days ago and went into the fields
with shells loaded for small game.
\fter being out some time they dis
covered in the deep recesses of the
Austell mill woods, an animal lying on
the ground which was too big for
the range they were in. They there
fore made further, hut very careful
investigation, which satisfied them
that it was a bear, and that a man’s
coat was lying very near it. But the
recent cold weather enabled them to
account for the bear having the coat
along. As soon as the situation was
taken in and being afraid to risk bird
shot on such big game, they returned
to the city for reinforcements, and
heavier projectiles. These secured,
they left for the woods again, this
time “loaded for bear." They soon
arrived in the vicinity of the coveted
bear. The hunters who found it took
command and deployed the force with
military precision. Each man took
his post with alacrity, and when the
word was given moved forward vali
antly, hut with proper caution, on the
position occupied by the big game.
The formation of the line, the con
verging movement of the forces, and
the uppermost desire of every one in
the corps to “git thar fust” if the
others were near, soon had the
stranger in those woods surrounded by
the assaulting lines. It, however,
not becoming alarmed, the main line
was halted and a detachment
was sent forward to make a closer
investigation, which, with arms at
“ready,” moved on the position of the
hear with coolness and steadiness of
veterans of larger fields, but with
that caution w r hich is always practic
ed by recruits in the presence of the
enemy. This detachment by “fits
and starts” got nearer and nearer to
the object of its search, and the
nearer it got the interest in its work
seemed to wane, which became appa
rent to the main line and caused it to
rush pell mell to the front, and it
and the skirmishers all “got thar” at
the same time to discover that their
big war preparations, including their
“loads for bar,” had nothing to op
erate on hut a dead sow, which had
fallen before the winter storms and
furnished a mess of pork to a hun
gry buzzard which had been over
come by an overdose of a rare dish
for buzzards in this section.
The forces were then withdrawn in
good order, but like all men who
have gone through severe ordeals,
they are doing the least talking
about the event. But their friends
are all agog over it and are loud in
their praises of the hunters for their
management of the campaign and
the splendid conduct of the whole
force while in action.

Etta Jane, Feb. 24.—It’s a source
of great satisfaction to the better el-
j ement of society to see the sentiment
against lawlessness growing and tak
ing a decided stand. The question is
now will they stand by their convic
tions when it comes to the test? Go
into almost any community you may
and you will hear murder, gambling,
whiskey, and all kindred evils spoken
of in the loudest and most emphatic
language.
But if you ask the cooperation of
many of those who so express .them
selves to help put down these, you
will find a majority are ready to ex
cuse themselves on the most flimsy
pretexes. What is needed in this
country is not more men but more
manhood.
This is election year and it will be
a good time to raise contributions for
different benevolent purposes. While
this goes on, will it not lie a good
time for those who are friends to law
and order to give aspirants to office
to understand that the ones who use
liquor or other corrupting agencies to
secure votes will not get their sup
port?
Through the kindness of Mr. W. R.
Walker, their Southern representa
tive, Messrs. Ginn & Co., publishers of
school and other books, have our
thanks for a copy of Agriculture for
beginners.
In writing his description of a nee
dle, a bright boy made this statement:
"The needle is a sewing tool. It is
composed of two parts, the point and
eye. The point is made of steel and
is the part you stick through the
cloth. The eye is made of air, and is
the part you stick the thread
through.”
Messrs. J. K. Allison, and little son,

RECENT EVENTS OF NOTE IN

There are reasons for believing that
Smith is guilty, while at the same
time Register’s character is most un
reliable. It is singular that Edmund-
son, who turned State’s witness, and
whose testimony convicted Register,
did not mention Smith at ail as con
cerned in the horrible crime. The
only inference is that, if Smith was
implicated, Edniundson did not want
to bring out that fact.
