is MISS SCOTT INSANE?

The many friends of Miss eAggie Scott
of Greenville are much worried over the
rumor that the unfortunate young
woman is insane. It had been known
for some time that Miss Scotb's
mind was slightly unbalanced, but this,
1t was thought. was due to the excite-
ment occasioned by the sudden breaking
off of the engagement with Linn Bruce
and also TO her condition. The rumor
BILE. and the doctors attending her, while
not affirming it. do not deny it.
Ever since Miss Scott attempted to end
her life she has been actin ng strangely. but
this was only at times. She appeared
perfectly sound of mind when friends
visited aud spoke TO her. She answered
all questions sensibly. but when
left alone she talked strangely
to herself. Her friends. however. were
pleased to note an Improvement as her
condition changed for the better and 1t
was expected that when she was wholly
cured she would have as sound a mind
as ever. Only few days
about the breaking of the engagement.
Miss Scott said that she could not UNDER
stand why she acted so foolishly. and
viewed the matter In a sensible light.
She said she was foolish in taking the
matter to heart so. A day or
two ago. however. she again began
to act strangely. One of the
many queer things she did was TO tear
bed sheet into strips. She rolled the strips
into coils, and remarked as she placed
them on chair at her bedside. "These are
