"In men whom men condemn as ill, I find so much of goodness still; In men whom men pronounce divine, I find so much of sin and blot? I hesitate to draw the line Between the two?whereG<k1 has not." THURSDAY. MAY 29. 1913 The School AnnuaL "The Aurora," the annual gotten up by the pupils of the Kingstree High school, which has just been issued from The County Rec4 ord presses, is as handsome a piece of work of the kind as we have seen this year, and the contents are as attractive as is the mechanical excellence of the work. -Especially striking and attractive are the sketches and drawings by Mr C E Holroyd. Mt Holroyd has a decided talent for pen and ink drawing and some wnrlr r/inirwrps favorablv "V/* liiO ' v* w?f v with that of professional cartoonists. If he cultivates his gift we predict for him a successful career as a car4 toonist. "The Aurora" is very appropriately dedicated to Miss Agness Erckmann, the faithful teacher of the first grade. She it is who gives the little tots their first shove?so to say?into the great sea of knowledge and trains them to strike out boldly for the goal of success. There is much to commend and but little to criticise in every department of the annual, and those who did the work deserve much credit for their splendid achievement. The typographical excellence of the work would be hard to improve upon?if we do say it for ourselves. In fact, the whole thing is well worth while, "from kiver to kiver." Ipworth League Meeting. At an Epworth league social held last night at the district parsonage j a plan was suggested to stimulate . interest in the league. Two captains were elected to lead their sides to vie- . tory.

NEGRO DESPERADO SHOT DOWN BY SHERIFF'S POSSE-IS BADLY WOUNDED Newington, Ga, May 17.?Richard Henry Austin,slayer of Dr S C Moore, Magistrate Edenfield and Victoi Bowers, was captured at dusk tonight near the residence of Mr Marvin Giles seven miles above Newington. The negro did not surrender with out resistance and was shot down bj a member of the posse making th( arrest, which was headed by Sherifi Morris, of Barnwell county, Soutl Carolina. Tonight he lies desperately wonnded and his life is despaired of For days Austin has been skulkinj in the Savannah river swamps, fee and aided by members of his owi race. For several days past the re lentless hand of the law has beei closing in on him, slowly but surely until it became but a question of timi before the black found himself i prisoner of the representatives o that government he has defied am whose officers he has shot down. This morning Austin was seen t< skulk up the river and the vigilan posse soon was in pursuit. Austii formerly worked for Mr Giles and i ^ is tnougni ne went vnat wa> ucmj in hopes of obtaining food or shelter Familiar with the ground he evad ed his pursuers all day, but at dusl Sheriff Morris and a member of th posse came suddenly upon their man A gun spoke and Austin dropped The long chase was ended. Austin will be taken to Savannal in the morning. Austin was sho three times, in the breast and stom ach. His condition is desperate,bu Sheriff Morris, of Barnwell county hopes to land his man safely on Soutl Carolina soil alive. Austin was shot by Sheriff Morri and Officer Stavender, of the Hamp ton posse. Knowing the desperat character of their man, Sheriff Mor ris and Officer Stavender took n< chances and opened fire on him a soon as he came in sight. He wa shot in the road as he was approach ing Mr Giles' house. CHIEF HARTER TELLS OP MAN HUNT. Allendale, May 27:?Chief of Po lice J B Harter returned this after noon from the scene of the man-hun in Screven county, Ga, and said th< hunt for Richard Henry Austin, le< by Sheriffs Morris of Barnwell an< Lightsey of Hampton were still ii progress. Chief Harter says the re port in the evening papers to the ef feet that Austin had been killed wa given out as a "joke" by onetof th< posse returning by way of Augusta According to Chief Harter, the dog were still trailing the negro at! o'clock this morning at a point abou two miles from the bay, where hi has been hiding for the past severs days; the trail was leading in the di rection of Hudson Ferry, on the Sa vannah river. Several times the posse thought they were on the ev< of the fugitive's capture, only to fine themselves foiled by this veritable wizard of the jungle. Monday morning a number of met were placed on picket duty along the route that Austin would likely take, and the negro, as expected, did make his appearance in full view of Sheriff Morris, J L Carlton, his deputy, and others, and but for one man losing his head and screaming, warning lim back into the bushes, Austin would have undoubtedly fallen, said Hhief Harter. Austin has visited at light three negro houses and the lome of one white man, a Mr Jarrel, i former employer, during the last few days. Mr Jarrel stated that he isked for food about midnight Frilav nieht. which he gave and which I" w ? Austin ate sitting on his doorstep; ;hat Austin told him in a rambling, ncoherent manner of a "gang fight" le had had in South Carolina and iad been presented with a fine pres;nt. He stated, according to Mr Tarrel, that they were after him to >ut him in jail; that they had no inention of killing him, but they wantd to kill those who were in jail; that le had things about quieted down ind he wanted a lawyer. He asked for ome rations on leaving, which Mr arrel gave. Haying no weapon on which he could rely, he was in the negro's power, although the negro 1 i made no threat, leaving his gun in the yard. Saturday night Austin, it is said, [ applied at three negro houses for food, which he got. He also asked for shells, so the negroes say. These [ visits were promptly reported by the negroes. Since these occurrences . all houses have been guarded in ex j pectation ot another visit. LAKE CITY NEWS NOTES. . Paragraphs Pertaining to Mat, ters Social and Personal. j ?

A WOMAN'S WORK sometimes reduces her strength to the depths of weakness?her devotion to household cares prevents sufficient rest and recreation.

Scott's Emulsion is devoid of alcohol or any harmful drugs, and overcomes tiredness and nervousness in a marvelous way. Hog Cholera and Its Control. The following are a few of the most common ways by which the disease is spread: 1. By failure to properly dispose of the carcasses of dead hogs. Buzzards, dogs, and other animals feed upon these carcasses and carry in; fection to other premises. All cai^ casses should be burned and buried immediately. (This is now required by State law), and buzzards should be destroyed in communities where they are not protected by law. In communities where these scavengers are thus protected, the law should be repealed and the birds destroyed. 2. By persons walking through yards or fields where sick hogs are kept and carrying tne miection on their shoes and clothing to other premises where healthy hogs are confined. It should be remembered that discharges from a hog infected with cholera are very infectious and owners should not go, or allow any of their help to go, on premises where there are sick hogs. Neither should they allow neighbors to go among their hogs when cholera exists in a community. Healthy hogs should be cared for by persons who have not been where the disease exists and no one else should be allowed near the healthy drove. 3. Bv streams receiving drainage from infected premises. If streams running through hog lots are draining infected premises,the hogs should be immediately moved to other premises. 4. By buying hogs from premises where the disease exists or from public stock yards. Hog cars and stock yards must always be considered dangerous. 5. By allowing neighbors the service ot your stock hogs. This is a dangerous practice. 6. By failure to isolate newly purchased hogs until their freedom from disease has been ascertained. New hogs should be isolated for a month. If they have cholera or have been exposed, the disease will develop in this time. The next article will be on sanitary measures which should be adopted to control this disease.?Clemson College Bulletin. Care (or Stomach Disorders.
