TERRIBLY BURNED.


Mrs. George Sisler lies at hen
home near Stewartstown suffering
torture and agony from burns which
almost cover every portion OF hen
body. AT times she has become TN
conscious from pain, but there are
hopes entertained that she will re
cover.
Last Wednesday fire broke out
from cause never acertained, in 8
field below the Sisler home. Mrs
Sisler sent boy who lives at the
house to the field to beat out the
flames. He was gone so long, and
there was no one else in the house
that she went to see what had be.
come of him. Arriving at the burn.
ing field she discovered that the fire
had made great Roadway and she
began assisting to keep it away
from the haystacks to which it was
steadily advancing. She worked
hard, and did not notice for some
time that her closhing was on fire
when she turned her attention to an
attempt to extinguish the flames
which threatened herlife. The boy
ran for help, but while he was gone
the flames almost enveloped the dis
tracted woman. Her clothing was
torn off as the only method of pre-.
venting her burning to death. 1t
was found that this had been done
none to soon. Her body had been
most awfully scared by the flames
and she had become delirious from
the pain she suffered Medical as
sistance arrived by the time she was
removed to her home and palliatives
applied, which partially relieved her
torture, though her death was feared
for some time afterward. From the
time of the accident till now the
victim has not at any time been en-
tirely free from pain. She has I'M
dergone terribly agonizing expert
ence, from which it is remarkable
that she lived at all.
Mrs. Sisler is the mother Of NJ. T.
Sisler, teller in the Bank of the
Monongahela Valley in this place.

Fire Losses Adjusted.

The fire losses on Josiah Robes
store, the dwelling house in South
Morgantown owned by Matthew
Hennen and the barn on the west
side belonging to Joseph Jones,
were satisfactorily adjusted last
week.
Insurance ON these structures
were in policies of agencies repre-
sented by L. W. Anderson. Josiah
Robe received 1915 the full
amount of $500 which was carried
on the stock of goods, and 1915 of
$500 on the building. Matthew
Hennen received 1902 of 5000 on his
dwelling. Joe Jones received the
full amount of 81 900 carried on his
barn.
The adjustment of these losses
was made quickly and, as was above
stated, was satisfactory to all.

The new position is one which brings

well endowed. He will be with the

they are followed by the tongsmen,

Four enthusiastic sportsmen were
sacrificed to the cruel jests of their
friends on Saturday. People were
watching the Southwark flight OF
wild geese. Some boy, whose love
for sport is more strongly developed
than his regard for yeracity, ran into
Millers store and Justify shouted
that wild geese had come down in
the field across the river from Wal.
nut street. This field can be seen
from Miller's corner, and the vision
of the populace near was focused on
the fowls that were quickly moving

guns and a-geesing they did go. They

Gov. Tillman has paid the fines
of the ,sheriffs, all except Sheriff
Nance, and he, having put his hand
to the ploy and turned back, will
have to GO into the soup.

1t was doubtless mistake on
the part of Gov. Tillman to send
Peterson to Denmark, but the Co
lumbia indignation meetings, both
white and black, were crimes
against the white people-men,
women, and children-of South
Carolina, and it makes no differ
ence whether the people of Colum-
bia believed Peterson to be inno-
cent or guilty, the people of Den
mark and Barnwell county, white
and colored, by an overwhelming
majority believed him to be guilty
and in this matter they were, by
common consent in such cases, the
sole judges of his guilt or inno,

Even the ants newspapersseem

staunchest anti papers in the State,

ton doesn't seem to have shown
the concepts of patriotism antici-

Mr.. r. G. Ward, who was chiet.
cook-and-bottle-washer of the late
Wire Workers League, is road
master of the South Carolina Rail
road; his brother, G. M. Ward, IS
superintendent. of the same road,
and both are appointees of Re
ceiver Chamberlain and both
nephews of Judge Bond, notorious
in South Carolina for his acts
against her citizens. Receiver
Chamberlain is himself an ap-
pointes of Bond; is also receiver
of the Three C's railroad, and is
soon to be made receiver of the
Richmond and Danville system in
this State, which takes in the C.,
G. g. A. R. R. the G.. & G. R. R.
and the Piedmont Air Line. When
Chamberlain gets all these reins in
his hands with the Federal court
behind him to push, and the Wire
Workers. League in front to pull,
made up in great part of his en-
ployees and hirelings all over the
State, won't he drive rough-shod
over the people and State of South
Carolina and again become po-
litical power as of yore? The
News and Courier is hand and
glove with Chamberlain as 1t a.
ways was, and we have no doubt
but that the leaders of the Wire
Workers League, the negroes, the
Haskellites, and Chamberlain all
have an understanding, and that
next election will find them all
pulling together as one man.

NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION.

This is competition of rather an
unusual nature. 1t is common to offer
prizes for the best story, or picture, or
architectural plan, all the competitors
risking the loss of their labor and the
successful one merely selling his for
the amount of the prize. But the Press
Claims Company'S offer is something
entirely different. Each person is
asked merely to help himself, and the
one who helps himselfto the best ad-
vantage is to be rewarded for doing it.
The prize is> only stimulus to do
something that would be we'll worth
doing without it. The architect whose
competitive plan for club house
on certain corner is not accepted has
spent his labor OH something of very
little use to him. But the person who
patents simple and useful device in
the Press Claims Company's competi-
tion' need not worry if he fail to secure
the prize. He has a substantial result
to show for his work-one that will
command its value in the market at
any time.
The plain man who uses any article
in his daily work ought to know bet
ter how to improve it than the
mechanical expert who studies it only
from the theoretical point of view.
Get rid OF the idea that an improve
ment can be too simple to be worth
patenting. The simpler the be tier. The
person who best succeeds in combining
simplicity and popularity, will get the
Press Claims Compay's twenty-five
hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company
may be judged from the fact that its
stock is neld by about three hundred
of the leading newspapers of the
United States.

DANIEL HAS FLUNKED.

Chamberlain has made prop
osition to Gov. Tillman to submit
the railroad tax cases to arbitra-
tion.
Gov. Tillman when asked what
he thought of the proposition
said: "The State will never arbi-
trate with her taxpayers about the
iustness of her taxes. She GER
tainly will not arbitrate with a
corporation as against individuals
who may not have money enough
to carry on litigation.
"This proposal is the quintes'
cence of insolence. The South
Carolina Railroad tried to pay us
in repudiated bonds two or three
years ago, and the Legislature
after waiting for "a year, finally
consented to allow the road to pay
its taxes without the penalty In
stead of revoklng it's charter.
eve are neither defenseless OF
out of resources" continued Gov
Tillman, "and we will get the
taxes soone, or later. We intend
to continue the fight until we do
get them. If the means used IN
getting them shall damage the
credit of the roads they will have
themselves to blame and not u.s.
The next step in this matter Will
be taken very shortly"
GAS to the bluff and threats
about the sheriffs we will see them
out. They will not suffer. The
State will pay the COSTS"
The Governor was asked about
Sheriff Nance. He said that Nance
had not stuck to the rack and
would have to hustle for himself
