Ihe Messrs. Brtes Gaffney Drag On. Remarkable Recovery Afte r Eyeballs Were Crushed. The folowlng was taken from the Savannah Mbrnlng News: Hlnesville, Ga., Dec. 9.—One of the most remarkable and horrible ac< dents on or off record happened a day or two ago at Taylor’ creek to the 12-year-old son of Mr. Frank Sheppard. The boy was grinding cane and in some way was caught by the lever back of his head and his face was pressed against the frame of the min. Both eyeballs were completely taken out and lay on his cheeks and several teeth in the middle of both jaws were crushed, the force from back and front of his bead being so great. A large mule was hitched to the mill and the resistance was such when the skull became wedged be tween the lever and frame that the animal was brought to a standstill. Some one jumped to back the mule in order to free the boy’s head when the animal took fright and made a second lunge for ward, gripping the boy’s head. As soon ag the lever was pushed back the bov dropped to the ground as though dead. He was picked up and placed on his back by his father and mother who had no idea but what he was dead. Some thoughtful person began pouring water on sis face and he wag soon seen to grasp for breath. The water 'was kept up for a few minutes and his Dreathtng gradually became normal and In an hour or two his face began swelling, the flattened condition of his head to change and his eyes returned to their sockets. Dr. Layton made an examination shortly after the injuries were done and found that the external cranial surface was perfectly normal, show ing that the parts had adjusted them selves In a vety short while after wards. Both Mr. and Mrs. Sheppard say that the skull was crushed flat and was not half its natural size at the time he was hurt. The mental state seems norgial and the lad says he feels all right In every way except a little soreness in face and shoulders. SHORT NEWS ITEMS OF LOCAL INTESES1, PONDFIELD PARAGRAPHS. MERIT REWARDED. EVENTS IN GAFFNEY AND CHER OKEE. Recent Happenings in The D. A. R’s. The regular meeting of the Daniel Morgan Chapter D. A. R. wag held at the residence of Mrs. T. B. Butler at 3 o’clock October 13th, 1907. This meeting was so interesting and the “daughters” so enthusiastic they wish the ladles of Gaffney and Cherokee county to know their plans and hopes for the future. The most Important feature of the afternoon was the report from their delegate, Mrs. Shanks, of the State conference, recently held In Charleston. The most Important work of the State at present is the erection, on the State capltol grounds, of a monument to commemorate the services of South Carolina’s three partisan leaders, Sumter, Marion and Pickens and their men. Of especial interest to the local chapter 1 and Cherokee county, n the erection of a statue In memory of the heroes of the battle of Cow- pens. Congressman Finley has In troduced a bill for an appropriation for such a monument. Why not put this statute on Gaffney soil? W« want it; we need it that the old and the young; that the school children may see and know just what Ameri can independence cost and means. It is by such work as this and in aiding the town and rural schools in many ways, that we may enlighten public opinion and cause to be put forth and encourage the greatest ef fort in developing the highest type of American citizenship. ' Now we wish to make gome contri bution to this cause and are anxious for the help and co-operation of every lady interested In such work and to each and every one the Dan iel Morgan chapter extends a cordial invitation to become a member of this partiotlc organization. The regent, Mrs. A. N. Wood, will lie glad to furnish you with applica tion blanks and any help or Informa tion wished for.

It shows what a man with determination and persevereace can accomplish: Washington, Dec. 14.—“There is a case of young South Carolinian who has been successful in an un- usaiil way,’ said Senator Tillman yesterday, a s he came across some papers relative to Mr. Thornwell Haynes, formerly of Leesville, g. C. now counsei at Singapore. "Several years ago. Just after I first came to Washington, young Hay nes wrote to me, stating that he wanted to go abroad and devote him self to the study of languages, bat was unable to do so without employ ment. He wanted to be counsel somewhere in Europe. A Southern Democrat doesn’t cut much ice, or pie, either at the federal pie counter, and i had no idea that I could do anything for him. Finally, though, I learned that the consulship at Rouen paying g500 a year, was available— I guess it was not enough to tempt any of those Republicans who have such plutocratic ideas. Haynes was a married man. but $500 is worth a good deal more In France than It Is here, and so he decided to take It. Made Good at once. “Pretty soon his communications to state department began to show evidences of strict attention to kla business, and of an InteresHln the service which was' unusual. He wrote some splendid discussions with reference to trade between bis port and this country. He soon proved to be too big a man for the place, and was given another, at $1,000. Then the same thing happened, and he Fa* transfered. and raised to $2,000. I then had him changed from class A to class B Which resulted In another $1,000 increase, and now, since the consular services has been classi fied, he has been sent to Singapore, at a salary of $4,000 a year. He Is probably fixed In a good place In the consular service for life, or as long as he likes.” Mr. Haynes is a graduate of Wof ford College, and a brother of Prof. L. B. Haynes, of Leesville. The consular service is now un der the classified service of the gov ernment, in the same way that other departments of the government ser vice are managed. Examinations are held every year, and an eligible list is made up from the results, vacan cies being filed from this list. |n the Surface car. A fat Irish nioman, bearing a num ber of bundles, entered a crowded street car. The only semblance of a seat she could find was a small space at the right of a smartly dressed youth. Into this space, sufficient only for an individual of ordinary size, the fleshy Irish woman squeezed herself, much fo the annoyance of the youth. After a moment or so the Irish woman produced a cheese sandwioh, which *he proceeded to devour with every evidence of relish. At this the youth gave her a look of Ineffable disgust and drew the skirts of his frock coat closer to him. “I suppose, me lad,” good naturedly said the womrn. "that ye’d prayfer-r to have a gintleman sittin’ next to ye.” “I certainly would.” snapped the youngster. “So would I,” calmly responded the fat person. * SAYS IT IS FACT.
