It is now believed Armstrong came here Jan 4 from Charlestown, W. Va, When found the bead had been eaten from ,$be body by dogs and the skull picked clean by vultures. Armstrong carried $10,COO life insurance. Jaq of Medium Dimensions. J. W. Mott clerk and ex-officio as? sessor of Mussel Fork Township, was in Keytpsviile the other day and re? quested us to say tnat he was only^ medium drunk. Whea dead drunk he is a nuisance; when "just medium drunk" be is a cross between au ass and a monkey: when sober he is a clever fellow and is nobody's fool. The moral is: He ought to ??tay sober. He wasn't sober enough to know what became of -bis money, although, ac? cording to his interpretation, of his condition, be was "just medium drunk." He *ays, however, he re? members having made a donation to some little naked children, and be asked ns to tell about that too. But we haven't heard from the children up to the time of going to press. If this wriie op doeso?t snit him we will let bim compose his own "obituary" the next time he gets either dead drunk or "jast medium drunk."-Charlton, (Mo.)

DURANT'S PHARMACY. LYNCHBURG NEWS NOTES. Lynchburg, S. C.. Feb. 7. 1906. -Dr. E. F. Darby is seriously iii and much anxiety is felt and ex? pressed by his many friends in and around our little town Dr. J. W. Tarrant, his attending physi? cian, is doing everything in his power to arrest the malady, Jbvit the trouble is of an obstinate uature. The temperature is consider? ably below the freezing point and the eaves of the houses are fringed I with icicles of considerable, ! though uniform length. The ; weather is gloomy and threaten? ing. , An unusual quantity of fertili? zer is being delivered to and hauled from this station and no talk of a reduction in acreage, notwithstanding the repeated warnings. The farmers have just gone wild over the imaginary price of 15 cents cotton, and nothing but the interference of Providence can' restrain them. Telia planter of the danger of overproduction and the quick re? turn comes. Why, where is the sense in my cutting my acreage, and 'everybody else planting every hill they can? That prom? ised "15 cents cotton" has ruined things and played the mischief generally, as regards cutting acre? age. It was unwise to hold out such extravagant inducements to ef? fect a reduction of acreage, for the rebounding effect is plainly seen, Too much confidence is placed in the warehouse svstem and the bear name of the "South? ern Cotton Growers Associa tion. This cotton future business is playing the mischief with some individuals and they are sick, oh, so sick. Our graded school is slowly crawling upward, and now Prof. Brunson tells this correspondent thothehasii5 pupils in almost daily attendance. jim Rose, a train hand on this road, was arrested by Marshal Wheeler on Monday last for curs? ing here last Saturday, he having on that occasion, given leg bail. The conductor on the local freight train interfered and exhausted his .'bluff' in trying to prevent ?he arrest, and only by the skin of his teeth escaped arrest himself. The citizens were justly indignant at such conduct on the part of an official?trying to screen a notori? ous character from the penalties of the law. The negro, being en? couraged by his "Cap'n," resisted with all his might, but was finally over powered and dragged from the cab of the engine to the guard house where he remained until yester^y morning. His fine, $20, was paid. The rfews of the defeat of that compulsory education bill in the Legislature was well received h re. Very few people were in sympathy'with the bill, as it was one of the most nonsensical bills ever brought before the house, and could not have been enforced. Furnish the schools and the par? ents will eventually send their children to them of their own ac? cord, as they can, without com? pulsion, just as much so as if we had laws to compel, or pretend to compel them to do. Why don't these wise people see that the law ?gainst unlawful weapons is en? forced/ or even remotely, partially enforced? It is a farce and should be enforced or repealed. Miss Mannie Darby and Miss Chesin, of Charleston, are visiting at Dr. Darby's. Both Were Barbarous. Prof. Starr, the famous ethnol? ogist, was in his humorous and whimsical way accusing women of barbarism,,says the New York Tribune. "And she is not only barbar? ous-she is illogical and inconsis? tant." he exclaimed. "I was walking in the country one day with a young woman. In a grove we came upon a boy about to shin up a tree. There was a nest in the tree, and from a certain angle it was possible to see in it three eggs. "You wicked little boy.' said my companion, 'arc you going up there to rob that nest?' "I am,' the boy replied coolly. "How can you?' she exclaimed, 'Think how the mother will grieve over the loss of her eggs,' "Oh, she won't care,' said the boy, 'Sb.c's up there in your hat."

When a Sensation Was Expected the Stopper Was Unexpectedly PuA in-Hub Evans as a Big Bluffer. I Columbia. February 8.-The beginning <jf yesterday's after ' noon's session of the dispensary investigating committee was char? acterized by some exciting and more or less sensational and dra? matic incidents, though the evi? dence which the spectators had been led to believe would be brought out was shut off by a de .cisi?n of the commission. The Supreme Court room where the sessions of the committee are being held, was crowded before the proceedings began. At the opening of the session Represen? tative Lyon made a,statement to the effect that he and Senator Christensen, in obedience to the committee's instructions, had vis? ited the three home cities of the .three members of the board of dispensary directors with a view to bringing out a comparison be? tween the property owned'by the members of the board before go? ing on the board and what they owned now. He said that they were now ready to go into this matter and that there were a-num ber of witnesses present from Newberry, the home of Chairman Evans, ready to testify. ) The other members of the com? mittee'got their heads together on the judge's rostrum, which overlooks the sears occupied "by Messrs. Lyon and Christensen and their detective, Mr. Klingen? berg, and Attorneys Welsh and Bellinger for the other side. While the conference was going on Chairman Evans pushed open the side door and strode in, his thumbs in his vest and a cigar' sticking out of the corner of his mouth. "Hubbie on the spot," he called out. He circulated among the spectators. Then he threaded his way into the bar enclosure, and leering at the detective as? sumed a belligerent attitude. It was expected that some trou? ble might be expected at this af? ternoon's session, and there was a current of suppressed excitement running through the room. The material at hand was in a highly inflammable state, and but for the Coolness of those who had this of? ficial business in charge it is like? ly that serious results might have ensued. The members of the committee conferring resumed their ordi? nary attitude and Chairman Hay announced that while the com? mittee appreciated the work of the sub-committee composed of Messrs. Lyon and Christensen in following out instructions under difficult and disagreeable circum? stances the committee had de? cided not to go into any matters affecting the purely private or personal affairs of any member of the board or any other employe, and that it would be as well to dismiss the witnesses summoned for this purpose. There had been much talk throughout the city for several days that the sub-committtee would establish that Chairman Evans to begin with had nothing and was now worth a quarter of a million dollars, and there had been talk from him that the com? mittee had stopped investigat? ing and had gone to persecuting a :hat this had to stop. The decision was disappointing to Messrs. Lyon and Christensen as well as to the spectators. Mr. Lyon inquired whether gifts received from representatives of whiskey concerns would come within the scope oMhe inquiry of the committee. Chairman Hay said they certainly would. So there may yet be some entertain? ing evidence along this line. The remainder of the session was devoted to an examination of Manager Strauss of the Louisville Courier-Journal's job department, and J.#Wilson Gibbes, of Colum? bia, as to thc label matter, but practically nothing new was ? brought out.

ENTERPRISING HORSE THIEF, A fiogro Eoy Sole Four Mules and Two Horses Last Week. Captured Wbile Stealing Two More. From the Daily Item February S. Jimmie White, alias Willie White alias Jimmie Jenkins, a ne? gro boy about 19 years old, es? tablished a new record last night, as a horse thief for these parts. He stole and got away with two horses and four mules and was in the act of stealing another horse and mule when discovered and captured. He first went to Mr. Marion Dom's place near Bossards where he secured three mules from Mr. Dorn and a horse belonging to Mr. C. M. Dorn. Taking these with him he proceeded to the home of William Nickens, color? ed, where he got a horse and mule. The house of J. H. Ander? son, colored, was next visited and he was haltering his horse and mule when the noise made by the drove of live stock awakenea An? derson. He got out of bed and going to his lot as quickly as pos? sible found White in the act of taking his horse and mule from the stable. Anderson seized the boy, and after a struggle, overpow? ered him and tied him hog fash? ion. Anderson recognized Mr. Dom's stock, so dispatched a messenger to him to notify him of the capture of the horse thief. Mr. Dorn went to Anderson's house, arriving about 2 o'clock. He too!: charge of White, brought him to tov. n and turned him over to the police. This morning he went before Magistrate Hatby and had a war? rant issued for White charging him with the theft of the horses and mules -above enumerated. W7hen carried before Magistrate Harby White aomitted stealing the mules and,horses, without the least hesitation or attempt at evasion. He is either crazy, or succe?ds cleverly ia his attempt to create that impression. He says that he stole the stock to carry to his brother in Georgetown, "who is a big horse thief." While in the Guard House this morning he burned his hat and set fire to his coat. He talks in a rambling, contradictory man? ner and the fact that he undertook to steal horses and mules 0V1, a wholesale scale, is in itself an in? dication that he not level headed. As far as can be gathered from what, he says he has been living in the vicinity of DuBose's Cross Roads, not far from the scene of his horse stealing operations. Men Past Sixty in Danger. ?More than half mankind over six? ty years of age suffer from kidney and bladder disorders', usually enlarge? ment of prostate gland.
