A man borrowed the native’s horse without stopinu; to ask permission. In the course of a few days the animal was returned, hut the native did not take a kindlv view of tin- matter, and con cluded to have legal redress. He an nounced his intention of havimr the offender arrested. “What will you have him arrested for?’’ he was asked. “For horsa stealing, of course.’’ “How can you make horse stealing out of it, when he returned the horse?” “Ain’t it stealing if he brought Mm back?’ “I’m not a lawyer, but I don’t see how it can be.” ‘All right, then; I’ll have Mm arrest ed for usury.” ‘I don’t see how you can make usury out of it, either.” ‘Why, hang it all! he used Mm, didn't he? Yes, sir, he used Mm three or four days, an used Mm mighty hard, too, by the looks of Mm.” Home of Swamp-Root. FRASER LYON AND, THE LIKE. He it "the Joe Folk of South Caro lina." (Beaufort Gazette.) Massachusetts has an attorney gen eral of whom It is being said. “He has raised an office of petty routine to a nost of power and honor, where great public labors are performed.” So pleased are the Democrats of that State with the courageous official that they propose to make him gov ernor. believing that he “can surely find in the high office of governor powers yet unexercised in behalf of the commonwealth.” He has fought “the instruments of corporate inter ests” ami they ’’re fighting him in turn very vigorously. It is not being urged, however, that good taste de mands that this faithful public ser vant should retire from public life fyr a few years before seekimr high er honors—that promotion should not follow close on distinguished service. Such an argument would be laughed to scorn. It is possible that the rock ribbed Republican State of Massachu setts will make this Democratic attor ney general her governor so that he may continue his fight against corrup tion and so that she may show her prompt appreciation of ills service. South Carolina has a legislator of whom it may be truly said. “Ho has raised an office of petty routina to a post of power and honor, where great public labors are performed.” So pleased are a large number of his par ty with his exposure of corruption that they propose to make him attor ney general. He has fought corrup tionists who were striking at the very vitals of our government, and they are fighting lihn desperately. They have even gone so far as to urge that this fearless official should sten down and out for a few years before asking for promotion, saying that good taste demands this. Even Al phonse and Gaston would laugh jtbese to scorn. Here we are in the throes of a struggle against graft, we have found a man proved to be willing and i able to grapple w ith the grafters, yet | there are those who rise up and pr> j test against his promotion, saying ho j should have the modesty to retire for awhile. They would have the captain go below while the fight is fiercest. Lyon, the Joe Folk of South Carolina, is needed now. The absurdity of their proposition should make a con sideration of it unnecessary, but since it is urged continually it is just as well to stop and reflect on the na ture of the arguments the opponents of J. Fraser Lyon are reduced to. CONDEMN DISPENSARY.

Aiken, Aug. 9.—Spann West, the negro who shot Mr. Spann Toney, son of Mr. Mark Toney, of Johnston, was arrested by Sheriff Raborn late yes terday afternoon. West has been in hiding near the city of Aiken since Last week. Immediately after the shooting he sent word to the sheriff that he would surrender as soon as he could have a lawyer emoloyed by a friend, and was guaranteed protection by the sheriff. He wished to be as sured that he would not be taken to Edgefield county, as he said he feared he would be lynched. Sheriff Raborn has been searching for him every day and finally located him yes terday afternoon. He has not yet re ceived instructions from the governor as to whether or not he shall deliver the prisoner to the authorities of Edgefield county. While considerable feeling was evinced by the friends of Mr. Tonev immediately after the shooting, the wound was not a very severe one, and it is not thought now that there would be any effort on the part of any of Mr. Toney’s friends to d'> harm to West. FIRST COTTON BALE. Mr. H. C. Folk for Fifth Year Mark ets First Bale—Grown by Negro. Bamberg, Aug. 10.—For the fifth consecutive year Bamberg markets the first bale of new cotton. Today Mr. H. C. Folk shipped by express a bale of new cotton to Messrs. Pope & Fleming, cotton factors of Augus ta. Ga. The bale weighed 400 pounds. It will probably be auctioned off. Abe Simmons, who works a farm for Mr. Folk, has become known as th» grower of the first bale and It has become a regular thing for him to car ry off the honors. In 1903 the first bale was shipped to Charleston on August 3; In 1904 the bale was sent to Charleston, August 13; last year was the record year, the bale being shipped six days earlier than this year, August 4, and weighed 425; ft was consigned to Messrs. F. Wu Wag ner & Co., and was sold to the Gold smith Mercantile company at auction for 13 cents. Considering the great amount of rain that has fallen in this section this year, the bale comes early. But the fair weather for the past week, and the unusually hot spell have made the bolls open rapidly. Mr. Folk will probably have another bale ready for market In a few davs. MUST REFORM METHODS One Slaughter Pen Blacklisted by the Health Officer. . Greenville.

Child Narrowly Escapes Death by Being Strung Up at Asheville. Asheville, N. C., Aug. 9—Jack Me- j Clay, an alleged 11-year-old boy of the Starnes avenue section, while j playing with companions late yester- 1 day afternoon suggested that they plav “lynching” now commonly dub bed “Salisbury,” and proceeded to se- j cure a piece of small rope and to ap point himself executioner. The two companions were Porter Claxton, son of Prof. Claxton. form erly of Greensboro, and Embler Kill- | lor. The latter is only six years old. Porter Claxton didn’t like the game and dodged away from Jack McClav. Jack, in a playful manner, caught ; Embler Kibler and looping the rope about the child’s neck, tied the loose | end to a nail driven into the wall 1 about the pourch where the children were playing. The child was left lumging there with only bis toes touching the floor. When he had hung there perhaps for two or three minutes his strug gles unloosed the rope and freed him. He went to his home near by with an ugly red mark around his neck and with face discolored from the trying experience. The lad’s father swore out a war rant for young McClav and the mat ter was aired in court this morning. The presiding judge suggested to Mrs. McClay, mother of the defen dant. that she chastise her son. Mrs. McClay told the court that she w'ould do nothing of the kind. She was ex cited and showed some feeling. The judge then stated that, while lie disliked to dignify the case with court procedure, the thing must be stopped. He declared the la-’ guilty under the warrant and Imposed a fine and taxed the defendant with the costs. The Kibler child appeared in court with the big red marks still showing on its neck. The rope was offered in evidence. It is said that had the rope been fastened more securely the practical joke might have proven fa tal. ■TVS V/ y 4 i j-'-’ FELL THROUGH WINDOW.
