Each day is rounded out by some new
attraction at night. The story OF the
forest OF Arden was retold last even
ing and ROsalind with her dainty feet
crushed the grass beneath the weeping
willows. Miss Caughlin's rendering
OF the character was grand. The
lights, half shadows, and the swash of
the restless lake made an enchanting
scene.
Friday evening another attractive
feature was added to the long list of
evening entertainments. The lagoon
that skirts the western shore of Wooded
Island was bright with the reflected
colors of Transportation Building,
while on the eastern side the dense
foliage was throwing its darkened
shadows far across the water towards
the Manufactures Building, while on
the water towards the north tiny red,
blue and green lights of the electric
launches were seen like fire flies dart
ing In and out. The merry laughter
of the passengers floated across the
water and mingled with the buzz and
hum OF the voices of thousands that
fingered by the waters edge in the
chilly atmosphere Of the evening, wait
ing the grand pageant. On the first
float were number of people repre-
senting the Arctic nation. On the
third Ferdinand and Queen Isabella
were welcoming Columbus on his re-
turn to Spain. On the other George
Washington was seen crossing the
Delaware. Colored lanterns and lights
hung along the shore of the island and
upon the boats, making an enchanting
scene.

a WELL SUSPENDED IN MID-AIR.-
There were many freaks of the hur.
ricane last week, but none were more
curious than can be seen in Foreston
within two hundred yards of tho
depot.
Tradition say when Gen. Marion
was campaigning between Black and
Santee rivers, that his men were en-
camped for some time where Foreston
now is, and that they dug the we'll on
the old Eli Fleming place. 1t was the
best well of water in that section of
country, and had heen in use since the
recollection of the oldest inhabitants.
1t is further said that while Marion's
men were eating their frugal meals,
OF which hick0rynuts constituted a
part, q hickorynut dropped near by
germinated and growing up for years
1T stood q monarch tree shading this
old we'll.
But the hurricane last week was too
strong even for It's deep-seated roots,
extended deep and wide, and encircled
that old we'll of Revolutionary origin,
and when the mighty wind overthrew
this gigantic hickory tree, it literally
pulled up the we'll from the ground,
and, as little boy who saw 1t next
morning said, 1t spilled the water out
on the ground. The we'll with many
feet of earth still around it, hangs
almost intact suspended in the air,
upon the roots of this tree, with the
pole and bucket still in the curb.
Where the we'll was Is now only hole
with q superficial area OF about l5C
feet II is indeed wonderfully
curious sight. Manning Times.

ST. HELENA'S HORROR.
Not Less Than 100 Lives Were Lost
There During the Hurricane.

DR.. j. w. Babcock, physician to the
State lunatic asylum at Columbia. who
was sent to Beaufort to investigate
the condition of the cyclone sufferers,
has made his first report. He has
visited Lady's and st. Helena islands
and says that previous reports have
not been exaggerated.
AT Eustace place, on Lady's island,
four miles from Beaufort. twenty-one
out of thirty-one original buildings
were entirely swept away, and those
remaining are badly damaged. Fifty
one lives were lost at this place.
Forty.four bodies were buried in one
grave. With few exceptions the dead
were buried in hastily prepared coffins,
and on account of the water-logged
condition OF the soil the graves could
not be dug deeper than two feet. The
effuvia fumes from the decaying bodies
are fearful.
DR.. Babcock has ordered more earth
to be heaped on the graves and has
ordered a large supply Of disinfectants
lie reports that there are no signs OF
ieVer, among the negroes on Lady's
island.
He reports that probably $50 lives
were lost on st. Helena island and
that DR.. Peters, physician on st
Helena, reports 100 cases of diarrhoes
from drinking brackish water and 1O(
cases of malarial fever caused by ex
posure. He has treated 10 surgica
injuries caused by the storm.

A CONTEMPT CASE.
Judge Simonton Sends q State Con-
stable to Jail for Unlawful Seizure
of Liquor.

Judge Simonton Sends q State Con-
stable to Jail for Unlawful Seizure
ofLiquor.
Judge Simonton has filed decision
In the contempt case against Constable
G. Is. Swan, in which he directs that
the barrel of whiskey seized in custody
OF the South Carolina Railway shall be
returned to that company, and SEN
tence OF three months in jail is i'm
posed upon Constable Swan. 1t will
be remembered that Swan seized q
barrel of corn liquor which had been
sent from North Carolina to parties in
Charleston. The shipment was made in
April, but the liquor was still in posses
sion OF the railroad company in July. 1t
was confiscated by the State and pro-
ceedings for contempt were instituted,
with the result given.
When the seizure was made Swan
showed no authority from either con-
slgnee or consignor of the goods nor
did he produce any warrant by virtue
OF which the search and seizure were
made. When the questions as to his
authority were asked, he produced his
commission as constable of the State.
Swan was taken before Judge Simon
ton in the United States circuit court
on a petition to show cause why he
should not be attached for contempt.
He admitted at the hearing that his
course was of his own motion and that
he seized the goods without formality
of warrant.
In his decision Judge Simonton
holds that Swan was guilty of an out
rageous violation of the law and de-
clares that no search and seizures of
property can be made without due pro-
cess OF law. He adjudges Swan guilty
of contempt of court and orders that he
be imprisoned in Charleston county
jail until he returns the seized goods
to the custody of the receiver OF the
railroad, and when the goods have
been so returned that he suffer a
further imprisonment in the county
jail for three months and until he paws
the cost of the proceedings.
In reply to a question as to his
opinion OF the decision of Judge Simon
ton In the Swan case, Governor Till
man said:
l cannot undertake to express an
opinion as to our action in the case
until have read the official decision.
The State will stand by its officer as
far as possible, however.
In the event of his being imprison-
ed for seizing liquor without warrant
or for contempt of court, we will, of
course, appeal the case to the higher
| court. We want to know whether the
appointment of O receiver exempts
| the road from all law except as ad-
ministered by the court under which
the receiver is appointed"

The man had gone down town on Sat

get drunk. But he found no saloons,
and upon going to the dispensary was
refused, the dispenser telling him that
he could never buy spirits there. The
negro spent several hours trying to get
some one to purchase for him, but his
friends were afraid, and finally he gave
1t up and went to grocery store.
There he bought q fitch of bacon, q
bag of -four and other simple necessi-

there early the next morning by his

ONE HUNDRED YEARS OLD.
Death OF a Wealthy and Eccentric
Citizen ofKentucky.

PADUCAH, KY, Sept. 6.-James
Pringle, one of the oldest and most
eccentric men in Kentucky, died last
Saturday at his home near Salem in
Livingstone county, aged little over
100 years. He was born in Henry
county, kentucky, in 1893. In 1929 he
was married to Miss Agnes Wilson,
daughter of Mr.. Jas. Wilson, noted for
being one of the signers of the declara-
tion of independence, and hero of the
revolutionary war. Mr.. Pringle and
his wife lived together until 1870 when
the latter died. In his youth he learn
ed the hatters' trade, and made hats
in Livingston county for many years.
BY untiring energy he soon amassed a
small sum OF money, and purchased the
farm near Salem he owned at the time
of his death. After he began to grow
rich he dropped the hat business and
turned his attention to farming and
loaning money. Mr.. Pringle was prob
ably the wealthiest man In Livingstone
county. He leaves no children, and
/ has no nearer relative than o niece
who resides at Salem, and at whose
house the deceased passed away. Up
to the time of his death he was active
and possessed enough energy to attend
to all his business, Many years ago he
purchasedI his tombstone, and wrote
thereon his motto and epitaph, which
is as follows: "Honor, virtue and
truth" His, remains were buried In
the old cemetery at Salem near where
the parents iof Roger Q. Mills sleep
