FOUNTAIN INN MAN IN TROUBLE.
L. P. Armstrong Arrested on a Very Seri
ous Charge.
I?. P. Armstrong, of Fountain Inn,
this county, was arrested in Anderson
County and brought before Magistrate
Stradley by Deputy Sheriff Ballenger
yesterday afternoon, on a warrant
harging him with defaming the charac
ter of Pearl Armstrong, a young woman
of Fountain Inn, said to be the defen
dant's daughter, although this fact does
not appear in the affidavit and warrant
of arrest.
Waiving a preliminary examination,
Armstrong, who is said to be one of the
wealthiest men in that part of the
county, gave bond in the sum of Vou.
for his appearance at the next term
of the Court of General Sessions.
It is alleged that a letter striking at
the virture of Pearl Armstrong, and ad
dressed to a young man of the neigh
l>orhood, Dave Andrews, who was visit
ing her at that time, was written by the
defendant and by him deposited in the
l>o8tofhce at Fountain Inn, through which
channel it finally reached the hands of
Andrews. A number of people living
in the vicinity of Fountain Inn, are
mentioned as witnesses in behalf of the
prosecution. The contents of the let
ter cannot be printed.
The case is most remarkable. For
several weeks at least Armstrong has
not been at Fountain Inn, and he was
said to be living in Anderson, where he
was arrested yesterday. He is worth
considerable money, and that a man of
his stamp should be guilty of such an
awful crime cannot be entertained for
n moment by many who know him.
Scarcely a year ago Armstrong fig
ured in a suit for damages against him
in the Court of this county, a man
named Lawless demanding retribution
for the loss of an eye, alleged to have
been destroyed by Armstrong. The jury
found for Armstrong, the defence be
ing that Lawless, while intoxicated, had
been guilty of outrageous conduct in
the presence of Mrs. Armstrong.?

Will Use All the Power.
A correspondent writing from Ware3
Shoals to the Greenwood Index says:
"All of the power is to be used at the
Shoals which will give us in the near
future a manufacturing city of 8,000 or
10.000 people. In a short time we will
realize tht dream of our ancestors in
evelopmcnt of this magnificent
power which will prove an ines
able blessing to the entire surround
ing country. All honor to the progres
sive citizens who have contributed ^
the success of this enterprise. This is
one of the most highly ftvored sections
of the Piedmont and wo cordially invite
all good people to come at once and
share the solid wave of prosperity that
will soon spread all over the country."
MR. KIMSEY HUSKEY'i PLATFORM.
Has Split More Rails Than Lincoln and
Now Wants to go to the Legislature.
In getting forth his platform, Mr.
Kimsey Huskey, candidate for the
Legislature in Cherokee County for the
unexpired term of Mr. Kirby, has this to
say of himself and his qualifications in
the Cherokee News:
"First, I want to say a few words
about my own self as I am a young
man and not known by many of tue
Seople in this county. I was born Oct.
5th, and have worked on the farm
most of that time until a few years
ago. I have been teaching school for
the last four years and am going to
make that my life work so far as I
know now. 1 have done a little of every
thing that a farmer boy could do. I
have plowed, hoed, ditched, cut cord
i wood, split rails, clerked in a store
about two years, and have taught
school about four years. We read
about how "Old Abe Lincoln" used to
split rails; he split enough rails one
winter for a man to get him a Jpair of
pants.
Now, that is about what he did and
the whole world has made a big thing
of it. I split nine hundred rails my
own self in one winter for an uncle of
mine. If I will try as hard as I ought
to I can do anything Abe Lincoln did
but be a Republican and a President. 1
can't do that.
And this about the Dispensary:
First: The Whiskey Question; so fnr
as this county is concerned it is settled;
but that will be the main question in
the next State campaign and in the
next Legislature. What will we do
about the Dispensary? I will say here
and now that I am well pleased with
the conditions in Cherokee county and
will do all in my power to make such
the condition in all of South Carolina.
I think Cherokee county is in much
better condition now than it was before
we voted out the dispensary. It will be
better still when Spartanburg and Un
ion counties go dry. I am not like
some; I will tell the truth as I see it if
I lose votes by it. There is being some
whiskey sold and drunk in this county
now and will be just as long as baby
boys are horned into the world, and
just as long as the mountains of North
Carolina stand. They will make it and
some people will drink it. But there is
not more than one third of the whiskey
drunk in this county now than there
was before the dispensary was voted
out. So I think one-third is better than
three thirds."
Dr. Babb Locates in Honea Path.
Dr. H. M. Babb, of Laurens county,
has located in Honea Path to practice
medicine. He is one of Laurens county's
progressive young men and comes
highly recommended as a physician. ?

Doans Kidney Pills will work the cure.
They're for the kidneys only
Have made great cures in Laurens.
D. M. Stribbling, former proprietor
of Dairy farm, says: "I am highly
pleased with the results I obtained form
the use of Doan's Kidney Pills which I
used for backache and kidney trouble.
I suffered for somo years with a dull
aching pain across the small of my back,
especially had at night. At times it
was so severe that I was totally unfit
to attend to my work. The kidney se
cretions were dark colored, full of brick
dust sediment and a very strong odor.
At night I was obliged to rise frequent
ly which together with the constant
backache and loss of sleep caused my
general health to be very poor. I used
any number of remedies and took doc
tors prescriptions but it was the same
old thing, very little if any relief. I
saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised and
went to the Palmetto Drug Co.'s store
and got a.box of them. To my delight
after taking them my back regained
its strength, did not ache and the kid
deys acted naturally and I could rest it
nigh without being disturbed."

An luqulsitlve Frenchman has
thought it worth while to ask M'hat be
come* of the bodies oftpr death of the
numberless llsh and other living crcn
tures that fill tho sea. Of course they
nil die, sooner or Inter, and yet It Is an
01 ( r.rrenco so rare as to be practically
unknown for anybody who lives beside
or on the ocean to come across the "re
mains" of even a single victim of the
fate that awaits nil tilings mortal. In
the profounder depths putrefaction can
not take place, so if the dead fish
once reaches those callll, chill abysses
he would be preserved until tilgend of
time. Probably, however, no" such
peaceful repose awaits more than an
InfinUcBlmnlly small proportion of the
finny folk, and no great accumulation
of lifeless bodies exists at the bottom
of the sea. The living eat the dead be
fore they can make the long, slow
Journey downward. As a matter of
fact, extremely few flsh, and perhnps
none, ever meet what Is known as a
"natural death." Almost always they
uro sin in and devoured and so put
definitely out of the way.
In nil meanness there Is a defect of
Intellect as well as of heart. And even
the cleverness of avarice Is but the
cunning of Imbecility.?Bulwer.

"I ?in lost!" snM the pretty lunklon
with u quaintly tragic ntr.
plic stood back agntnst the window
of a big department store on ?'mm!
street and scanned the surging crowd
before tier. It was Mardl <iran day In
New Orleans, and the pretty uinlden
bad been In town only three hours, two
of which had been spent f)w a hotel.
"I have lost my mother," she said
again as If to Impress tin? fact upon
herself?"and my father"?then she
added as an afterthought, "and my
pur.-e."
In the street the peoplo crowded each
other for more room, and there was a
constnut stream of maskers, gay dom
IllOCd fellows with tinkling bells aud
snapping whips, and the pretty maiden
watched them from the entrance to
tho department store, and her Ideas
quite lost their balance and toppled
over Into the innd whirl of carnival.
"I'm glnd I'm lost." she snkt to her
self; "they'll know I was separntod
froui them by the crowd and they'll be
fearfully worried, but after awhile
they'll Und me, and meantime 1 feel .as
If something were going to happen?a
wild adventure perhaps. Oh, I lovo
carnival. I'm glnd I came."
A drum throbbed subtly In the dis
tance, the crowd Biirged to tho edge of
the bampiette, then surged back again
with easy laughter, for no parade ap
peared.
"Ah," said some one at the pretty
maiden's elbow. "I beg your pardon,
but I thought I was never golug to
find you. The crowd is so thick."
The pretty maiden stared. A young
man, clean shaken and eminently pre
sentable, was regarding her, hat In
hand.
"I'm afraid you don't remember me,"
bo suggested, a trifle crestfallen. "Isn't
this Miss Preston?"
The pretty maiden's eyes widened.
To herself she cried, "Tho adventure!"
but aloud she said quite coolly:
"I'm afraid the advantage Is yours."
"I'm sorry," he answered stiffly.
"But please don't think me an Imperti
nent stranger. My cousin wrote me to
meet you here, you and your sister.
She asked me to show you around for
the parade. I?my name Is Robert Ran
dolph," he finished awkwardly.
The pretty maiden hesitated a bare
moment, but the carnival spirit was
strong within her, and the trick that In
her natural environment would have
been Impossible unfolded Itself like
magic In this atmosphere.
The moment was a bare one- then?
"Oh," she said, with the friendliest
smile Imaginable, "you are Hobby Ran
dolph?"
"Of course,' he agreed cheerfully.
'It's been a great while since we saw
?ach other, hut still"?
"Bo It hnB," said the pretty maiden
?unnlngly. "Let me see, Just how long
exactly V
"Just ten years," said Mr. Randolph;
"ten years, three months, seven days,
two hours and, I think, twenty-seven
minutes."
"Dear me," she murmured breath
lessly.
"And, by the wny, where's your sis
ter? Didn't she come?"
"My sister? said the pretty maiden,
(pdto astonished. "My sister? Oh?er
?yes, of course she came. But she
had a fearful headache, and she decid
ed to stay at the hotel, and I hnto to
miss the parade, you see."
"Of course. Too bad she won't see
It," said Mr. Randolph regretfully.
"The trip was so long and tiresome,"
said the pretty maiden Incautiously.
"Two hours' long! I like that. Why,
It's only forty-eight miles between here
and Pass ('In stlan."
"Distance," said the pretty maiden
seutentlously, "is not a matter of miles
- with me, at lenst," she added pru
dontly.
"Well, wo can have a Jolly time by
ourselves, anyhow," Mr. Randolph as
sured her.
The pretty maiden hesitated?that is,
she \v:>'tld have hesitated, but Mr. Ran
dolph's cheerful confidence left her no
room to do so.
They walked on rather slowly, for
the crowd w.i ? dense, and Mr. Ran
dolph's shoulders acted as a buffer
more than once.
"We'll have time to go and get some
hot chocolate before Bex gets here,"
he calculated cheerfully. "Look out
there, will you7" This last to a line of
college boys who were going through
the crowd like an animated wedge.
The pretty maiden laughed dell
clously.
"You looked so angry," she explain
ed between gasps, then stopped sud
denly because a small red devil, with
bartered mask, aimed a shower of con
fetti at her laughing face.
There was a blare of trumpets down
the street and the long roll of a drum.
A wave of excitement submerged the
people. Randolph used shoulders and
elbows with a skill that bespoke long
experience on the football field, and the
pretty maiden found herself In the
front of tho crowd. Mounted policemen
paced slowly past her, a band shrilling
forth "If Ever I Censo to Love," and
then Rex and his cohorts.
Tho pretty mniden dimpled and blush
ed from sheer delight at the gorgeous
Bprctncle, and the capering maskers On
the fantastic floats repaid her Interest.
One threw her a great fragrant bunch
Of violets, which she clasped with both
hands like an excited child; another
tossed an nrmle^ of brass; a third a
box of Kreuch sweets, until young Ran
dolph was hugely proud of her. Then,
when the last sliver tower and shim

muring veil bad melted down tho street,
be swung her Into the crowd again, her
cheeks pink with excitement and the
great purple violets nestling In the furs
under her pretty chin.
"Now let's have.Hint chocolate," said
Mr. Raudolph. They found a corner In
a pretty tea room, and he dliipatched a
wulter for their order, while the room
ni led steadily.
"Do you know," he said, "you'vs
changed somehow?"
The pretty maiden cam* back with
a start to the fact that Mr. Randolph
was not a lifelong friend.
"Have I?" she asked safely.
"Yes," he repeated, "somehow you've
changed. You always were pretty, you
know, and I always .was your abject
slave, but now"?
"I've- changed?" asked the pretty
maiden mournfully.
"You're so?so much more so," he ex
plained lucidly.
"You remember," asked Mr. Ran
dolph presently, "how we used to love
each other when you were ten and' I
was fourteen?"
"We didn't," she said, with a start.
"Ob, uonaensel You cried your eyes
out when I left for school. And you
said you'd marry me when you grew
up?and when we satd goodby?you
kls?ed me."
"I did nothing of the sort," cried the
pretty maiden, Tory pink and furious.
"You've forgotten," Said Mr. Ran
dolph. "There's no reason why you
should be ashamed of It. A childish
affection In the most Blncero?and you
certainly were fond of me," he nntahed
tamely.
"I'vo changed very much," said the
pretty maiden, thoughtfully selecting
a macaroon from the plate of cakes.
"I'm sorry," said Mr. Randolph sim
ply, "because you're even nicer than
you used to be."
"I wout to tell yon something," she
said. "I*m not Miss Preston?I novor
saw you before. I*m here for the car
nival, and I lost my people. In the
crowd this morning; and then you
came and?I know it was horrkl of
mo."
"Well," said Mr. Randolph stiffly.
"Well, it was Just a lark," she plead
ed defiantly, "and won't you please go
?now--hurry, please." The pretty
maiden had seen her mother and father
ncross tho room.
"If you wish It, of course," said Mr.
Randolph with most unreasonable dig
nity.
"I think you better," she said, and
fairly pushed him away, and in a mo
ment she turned to her father and
mother with indignation In her eye.
"Well, you lost me," she said with
hypocritical anger, "for two whole
hours, and I'm nearly starred."
The pretty maiden and her parents
dined with friends that night, and the
pretty maiden weut in to dinner with
Mr. Randolph, to her unbounded sur
prise. Mr. Raudolph looked a similar
feellug. Then they both laughed.
"The world isn't so largo after all,"
she said.
"My world," said Mr. Randolph,
"comes only just up to my shoulder."
