AoPShn obulS UouIllhl.
A Topeka man was recently
troubled with insomnia. He thought
that some young medical student

c8l student who seemed to hnvo tho
proper appearance and laid his case
before him.

The patient ,Nok tho prescription
to nearby drugstore and had it
filed. The pills were placed in Il
small box and wrapped up. The
man took them homo and absent
mindedly tossed them to tho top Of
tho bureau. Ho went to bed that
night forgetting all about tho all
ments and tho pills. Ilo WAS unable
to sloop and thought that perhaps
tho pills would bring Morpheus TO
his rescue. Ho got up in tho dark,
CROPPED around for the box, found it,
unwrapped it and was surprised to
to find but threo pills. lie took
them and reiurned to bod and was
asleep in f. .inutes.
He met tho young student on tho
streot the noxt day and told him of
the wonderful effect that his rem.

night. During tho evenings con

Almost a Tragedy OF tho Amateur Stage.
News and Courier.

lANo"o nh>A oo"iAoA'
Rock Hill has had more than its
share Of entertainments this week.
On Tuesday night WAS presented the
"Pied Piper of Hamelin," rs drama
tised by Mr.. j. w. Tillinghast Of
Sumter. The actors we're all from
Rock Hill, a fact which added much
to tho interest felt by the public.
There was ono scene that came near
being entirely too real. Tho inhabi
tants of Hamelin, incensed with their
burgomaster for the losa of thoir
children, determined to hang him.
MIR. Samuel 7. Frew was to act tho
part Of "hanger." AS intended,
there wore two ropes; one, seen by
the audience, appeared to be doing
deadly work; tho other, unseen, was
to support tho victim and prevent
damage, while keeping up appear
ances.
Unfortunately the self made sheriff
fastened together the wrong ropes
the burgomaster swung in the air.
A few minutes more would have
ended his swinging forever. Tho
arrangement was 30 effective tha the
could not even kick. Aftor some
moments he was resuscitated. lie
declares that it was painless; in fact
that tho sensations were rather en-
joyable.

Wrongful Seizure.
Columbia Special to News and
Courier)

Messrs Mordecai Il Gadsden, Of
Charleston, made telegraphic do
mand on the Attorney General to-day
for tho return of the wagon and
liquor seized at Laurens some time
ago. The liquor was brought into tho
State from Augusta, and was shipped
by Il dealer named OConnor, of that
city. The Attorney General was
asked what he was going to do about
1t, and he replied: Nothing" Flo
went on to say that the legal depart
me1t had not authorized tho seizure,
and that Governor Ellerbe WAS re-
sponsible for it, and he was the man
to apply to for it's return. Possibly
if the Attorney Generals office was
consulted more frequently when
such seizures are in contemplation
loss litigation would arise.
THERE'LL BE NO NIGHT.
The State, 4th.
Thore is not going to DO any fight
on the part of tho State in the mat
ter of seizing original prckagos
brought into the State in wagons.
Judge Simonton ordered few days
ago that the liquor and toams re-
comfy seized in Laurens be released
by the State authorities. The au-
thorities havo complied with the
mandates Of tho court and there will
bo no fight over tho matter.
Attorney General Barber is anx.
ious to get the main issue as to
original packages decided and does
not care to waste his time on minor
branch issues.
Speaking of original packages, it
may be stated that Notwithstanding
the oft-repeated fact "that tho roads

that the man who has now boon
elected mayor was born IN this
State. When it was known yester-
day that Mr.. Van Wyck had been
elected the people of Columbia talked
of his past history and an interest
ing story as to the man who was Il
carriage driver in the Van Wyck
family at that time was recalled.
During the day reliable informa-
tien was obtained about MIR. Van
Wyck's South Carolina history from
a lady who formerly lived near the
family. Here is what she said:
Robert Van Wyck, the newly
elected mayor of Greater New York,
was born in Old Pendleton, S. c.,
and spent the early part Of his life
there. He has one brother, Angus
tus, who is living in New York, Sam,
another brother, was killed early
during the war in the northern part
of Alabama. He was a Confederate
soldier. His children live in An
derson, S. G. The remaining brother,
William, died in New York. His
sister is tho vito of General Hoke of
North Carolina The father of this
family was from New York. The
mother waa daughter Of Mr.. Sam
Maverick, who lived and died in Pen
dleton. Mr.. Maverick was the owner
Of moro real estate than any other
one man in the State. His posses
sions lay in South Carolina, New
York and Texas.
"One of Mr.. Maverick sons, Angus
tus, went early to Texas and was en-
gagged in the war between the Texas
republic and Mexico, and was at one
time made prisoner by the Mexicans.
His home.wa at San Antonio, where
his descendants still live. He was
associated with Crockett and barely
escaped the massacre at the Alamo.
At his death he owned more land in
Texas than there is in the State Of
South Carolina and his cattle were
30 numerous that it was impractica-
bic to brand them. The no brand
was the mark of his ownership, 80
that to this day unbranded cattle in
Texas are called Mavericks.
SAT one time the Van Wyck fami-
ly brought to Pendleton Walter Glib
son, as a carriage driver. Gibson
married Miss Lewis and gave up
driving. Then he wandered away to
one OF the Sandwich islands, and
eventually became practically the
owner and king of the island. He
was prime minister, and, though
under the monarchy, he was practi-
cally dictator Of the government.

A REPUBLICAN WATERLOO.

Chairman Quigg, of the Ropubli-
can city and county committee, was
very glum, and left the headquarters
at $40 O'Clock. He refused to make
formal statement, and was very
loath to discuss the situation. At
the headquarters there were few
prominent Republicans present, and
they left the place shortly after Quigg
did. No one would make state
ment. The Republicans kept up
their appearance of confidence until
the early returns showed the gains
for Van Wyck, and then collapsed
entirely. It is impossible to describe
the gloom at the Republican head
quarters. If anything the depres-
sion wes mole apparent than at the
George headquarters. At 8 o'clock
there wore only one or two Repub-
cans about. Gen. Tracy did not ap-
