Cherokee county claims the only real, genuine, live wild man in South Carolina. "Wild John Svarnes,” as he is known in the section where he roams, has been wild and living the life of a hermit and recluse for forty years. His castle is an old dry goods box which he fitted up many years ago for a home. As it grew old and parts of it fell away, he made rude repairs and what was only a hove] at best, is now a poor place indeed for a human being to call home through the cold of winter and the heat of summer. There are various causes assigned for the desire of “Wild John” to shun the companionship of his kind and to refuse persistently to go near society or civilization. Out of the number one of two reasons probably accounts for the hermit’s state. One tale runs tha'. he was disappointed in a love affair many, many years ago and ever since that time has lived in his box, never seeing a human face when he can positively avoid it. Another says that he fled to the woods to escape service in the army, then engaged in repelling invasion of the enemy, and that worry and fear drove all trace of reason from his hind and left him with no more sense than to continue for forty years to live the life he now follows and apparently thrives on. Overtures were made to him years ago and many times since by his anx ious relatives to give up this wild niiig, “Wild John” takes some of the skins or some of the game he has bagged and leaves it near a small store and ’.hese people come out and gel It, replacing It with provisions. He In turn gets the flour, etc., and carries ll back to his hu*.. but the trips are made under cover of dark ness and nobody knows when or bow he comes or goes. Thus the wild man of Cherokee lives and will no doubt eontinue to live, molesting no one and Jjeartily hoping that no one will Interest them selves in his affairs. Few have ever succeeded In getting close enough to get a photograph of him wilhout his becoming alarmed and hastening to spoil ,ho picture. Tbe wild man does not care for fame and la not anxious for his likeness to appear before the public. Only (wo or three pictures have ever been secured, one showing him standing, possibly thinking of the peace and solitude all around him. and one sfeting by his cabin in thoughtful meditation. Close inspect ion of the accompanying picture will show that, his dress is largely of skins and his feet are covered with rawhide. The case of '.ho man is and always has been a riddle and none are they who can solve it. Endowed with a powerful physique that has withstood many a storm that would have worst ed an ordinary mortal, and attending himself to any ills that beset him. he may continue to inhabit his box-like home for many years to come. Thus far he has tf.ood the ravages of Father Time with signal success The Wild Man of Cherokee. exigence and come back to his home, but all to no avail. If this wild crea ture has been under a roof other than the poor imitation of a shelter that but partially shields him from the weather, it is not known in the sec tion which is usually conceded to “Wild John” as his territory. In appearance, the wild man is tall and straight as an arrow. His long hair which falls to his shoulders and his shaggy beard give at first the im pression that he is a patriarch, but this is soon dispelled by the wild look in his eyes which can be plainly seen on closer observation. This hunted look is always present and when some over-curious person endowed with more than the average bump of investigation gets near his habita tion, it is so pronounced that he be comes wild-eyed and hastens to flee to the friendly cover of his ever present forests. Must Be a Good Hunter. While no one has ever seen the wild man on the hunt for game, he must be a skillful hunter for he buys very little food and yet lives, so the natural supposition is that the birds of the air and the beasts of the field, provide him with sufficient nourish ment to sustain life. The wild man, never possessing any great love for society, has had this distaste foster ed during his protracted stay in the deep recesses of this almost impene trable forest, and keeps a constant vigil for any wanderer or sight-seer who might blunder in upon him or seek him out. Any intimation that a human be ing is near his hut is sufficient cause for instant flight. He is greatly wor ried by many who wish to see him and his singular home, and has been known to resort to extreme meas ures to rid himself of the annoy ance. On one occasion a party of sight seers who were in that neighborhood and wished to see everything to be seen, drove out to the haunts of “Wild John” in the hope of catching a glimpse of him. Events proved that a glimpse was all they were destined to get. The party drove up close to the aperture in the box which serves its occupant as a door, and called loudly for “Wild John” to come out and be sociable. Is Very Unsociable. As was his wont “Wild John" Ig nored the summons until It grew In to an uproar when he decided that he could stand it no longer so resojv- ed to end it then and there. Picking up his gun in one hand and his axe in the other he pushed back tbe piece of lumber and emerged to quiet the disturbance. He succeeded probably beyond his fondest expectations. His appearance, fortified by the gun and axe, produced a stampede. The frightened occupants of the vehicle applied the whip to the steeds, who were doubtless affected themselves by the weird spectacle, and would brook no diminishing of speed until the friendly houses of Blacksburg appeared in sight. This affairs put a damper on sight-seeing expeditions being organized to make trips to the abode of the wild man. When the pangs of hunger cannot ha satisfied by the meat and fish brought in by his own craft and cun- and he may continue to be the mar vel of that part of the State and to furnish a good tale for the old heads to tell all who are recent arrivals in ihe neighborhood.

Jefferies, Attjf., Saline". S. C. CURES '.MALARIA Malaria is due to impurities and poisooa in the blood. Twtwad of rich, strong and healthy, the circulation has become infected with germs of disease which destroy the rich, red coipuscles that furnish nourishment and strength to the body, and reduced this vital fluid to such a weak, watery condition that it is no longer able to keep the system in health, or ward off the countless diseases and disorders that assail it. The loss of theae red corpuscles takes the color and glow of health from the cheek, and we see pale, sallow' faces and washed out, chalky complexions among the first symptoms of Malaria. But Malaria is a general systemic dlm*g», and aa the blood becomes more heavily loaded with its germs we have more serious and complicated symptoms; the impure blood having its effect on all parts of the body. The appetite fails, digestion is weakened, chills and slight fever are frequent, and the sufferer loses energy and ambition because of a constant tired-out and "no account ” feeling. The lack of necessary nour ishment and healthful qualities in the blood causes boils and abscesses, skin affections, and in some cases •ores and ulcers to break out, and sometimes the patient is prostrated with a spell of malarial fever which may leave his health permanently impaired. To cure Malaria both a blood purifier and tonic are necessary. In order to remove the cause and at the same time build up the system from its weakened and run-down condition. S. S.
