After mortally wounding her, the brute tried to catch her small son, about six years old, to kill him. ^ith her throat cut, the poor woman ran about one hundred yards trying to get help and fell dead on roadside. As soon as the mesTsage got here every man available left in cars for the scene of the crime, where the negro had already hoon <?nntnred and his body left hanging to a trte. The negro, after committing the horrible crime, boldly returned to the convict camp and changed his bloody clothes. It is a most lamentable occur"Nrence, the murdered woman being a fine Christian character and of one of the most prominerf and influential families in the county, with a number of relatives at this place. LBN. Tale of the Turkey's Tale. Once upon a time, so the legend runs, there was a flood, and the face of the world was covered with water. And the turkey, weary of continually fljnng, decided to seek some spot on which he might alight and rest. But the other birds and animals advised him not to; and the very gods themselves warned him. He refused to heed either advice or warnings and set out in search of land. After much effort he discovered a single spot not covered by water and alighted. But he found it only deep mud. So he decided to hunt farther for some dry place on which to rest. But, alas, when he came to fly, he found his tail feathers stuck fast in the mud. \ He pulled and pulled but could Tfjgot get them loose. Finally, after a ^gigantic tug, he managed to free 'himself. But bits of mud stuck to the end of the tail feathers! And to this day turkeys have dark spots there?a sign of their disobedience to divine command. Box Supper.

[KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS", I RALLY AT SCRANTON,, EXCELLENT PROGRAMME WELL ; CARRIED OUT-OTHER ITEMS OF CURRENT NEWS. Scran ton, November 24: ? Although snow and cold wind held sway last Friday, the K of P rally was held and a fair-sized audience was present to hear the addresses delivered. On account of the weather conditions in the forenoon, Hoyt McMillan, Esq, did not arrive till the late night train. While waiting for the speaker to arrive the Scran! ton Literary society rendered the following programme, which had been postponed: Debate: Resolved, That Women Should Be Given the Ballot. Affirmative?Dessie Graham and Janie Wall. Negative?Archie Wall and Jerusha Taylor. The debate was interesting and was listened to closely, applause being given each speaker. The argument brought out many points showing that the literary society is progressing rapidly and that it is an important factor in the school. From the showing made by the speakers it seems that the society will turn out some public orators. Dr W S Lynch, "Judge" H P Baldwin of Lake City and Mr Jesse Anderson of Timmonsville were appointed judges and decided in favor of the negative. No hostile demonstration or riot followed the announcement of the decision, as Mrs Pankhurst was not present. Recitation?Aline Prosser. Piano Duet?Annie Lee.

The programme concluded, Prof Anderson, Field Marshal-in-charge, announced that an armistice had been signed, and that the German and Allied armies would now repair to the room where a love-feast would be celebrated, consisting of oysters and dessert(er-)-s. The germane impulse of the moment German-nated and Russia(ed) the Allies to Servia in cavalry charge, flanking both sides and ends of the tables and completely routing the Red Cross nurses. After celebrating the victory, the wounded wobbled back into the auditorium, assisted by the Red Cross nurses. the Lord ar 3 have the goods, anything yoi n 10c per pound,yet a great m at^i much lower figure than if raising cotton at 7c per pound.

Soon "Judge" Baldwin came in and watched the game. It is not known whether it was done to put-over one on the jolly Judge or not, but one rosycheeked lassie "snapped" the aforesaid Judge and he did not ask to be excused, or complain of rheumatics, but responded to the spirit of amusement of the party with the agility of a sixteen-year-old. Is there a ! tried recipe for canning peaches? The audience was now turned over to the Knights of Pythias' Council Commander J M Myers, who stated the object of the Pythian rally, and Mr A A Cook offered prayer. The opening ode was sung and Mr Myers introduced Mr R B Cannon who, in a pleasing manner, 1 introduced the speakers of the evening. "Judge" H P Baldwin was the first speaker. He made a brief but very instructive address. Of course, the Judge opened his guns with a good joke, and devoted his time to the story of Damon and Pythias, telling of the love and friendship that existed between the two, and applying it to the true Knight. He received applause. Hoyt McMillan, Esq,District Deputy Chancellor Commander, spoke next. For forty minuten he discussed the benefits derived from the association of men, bringing out many points to show the mutual good of fraternal intercourse. His address was interesting and instructive and he was cheered at the conclusion of his speech. A C Hinds, Esq, of Kingstree was to have made an address, but was 1 1 X - 1_ x j UliaDie 10 De present.

At the time he plucked the tomatoes they were green, but full size, He put them in a cellar and they ripened as nicely as if they had never been pulled. This proves that we can have home grown tomatoes long after Jack Frost visits us. Some of them may be seen at the Cades Drug store. ABC. Sublime Faith. The following appeared in the Troy, (0.)

For instance, there is a man by the name - - - I of John Blank, who reiusea to taxe i to take his paper out of the postoffice. He did not want it any longer and we wondered what was the matter. Upon investigation of our subscription book we found that John was short $5.70. He stopped the paper as a matter of economy?to us. One evening we went to church, and John's melodious poice rang out loud and clear in that soul stirring song, "Jesus Paid It All." We might have been mistaken but his earnestness impressed us. The next day we sent him a receipt in full, begging his pardon for not knowing he had made arrangements for his liabilities in that I manner. !
