From the Darlington Herald.T
We are waiting very anxiously to
hear the news of Attorney General
McLaurin's arrest for carrying con-
cealed weapons. He must have little
faith in his fellow citizens when he
carries pistol to protect himself from
assault. We suggest that some of bis
admirers present him with the latest
and most improved patent in the pis-
tol line in order that he may be prop
erly equipped for his duties in Congress.
Of course all the other members will
be provided with handsome weapons,
and We ought to see to it, as a matter
of State pride, that our members, es-
pecially Mr.. McLaurin, are properly
equipped. AS matter of course a
member of Congress will require a
much finer weapon than an Attorney
General, and We hope that McLaurin's
friends will take his view Of the case.
1t would he a great pity, in case OF a
general row in Congress, if be should
be put to disadvantage by not being
supplied with the most improved pat
tern of a pistol. AS the gentleman
halls from Ben nettsville that town is
entitled to the honor of raising the
necessary funds, but Darlington is
willing to contribute something for
so laudable an object.

Children Cry for Pitchers Castoria:
Hiding in his Own Hair.
PHILADELPHIA Dispatch. |

l
CoNNEAUT, O., October 2.-Wilhelm
Schmidt, living four miles south of this
place, has become one of the most re-
markable freaks outside Of the muse
ums. He has been in this country
thirty-four years, but is unable and un-
willing to speak word Of English,
living with his wife and daughter on
an isolated little farm that yields corn
and potatoes enough for the trio. A
visitor, from curiosity, called on the old
man today, and thus describes what
be saw:
What proved to be Schmidst sat in
an armchair in the centre Of the one
roomed house. Only huge mound of
hair surmounting his shoulders was
visible-not a human feature to be seen.
Schmidt propped his cane against his
chair, and with both hands pulled this
shock of hair open, showing his face,
which was bleached an uncanny look
ing, like vegetables grown under cover.
Only for minute wss the old mans
face to be seen, for he dropped the cur
tain of hair back over it, saying in Ger
man that he did not like the light and
could not endure it. The great mass of
hair fell as thick over his face in front
as over the back of bis head. Schmidt
has worn bis hair as hiding place for
his head and face for eighteen years,
and steadfastly refuses to have it cut.
His eyesight has been practically de-
stroyed by having the light shut from
it so long"
