The Appeal Scoop

Under the appropriate head of News
Feat ofthe Century" the Stockton Mail
publishes the following:
Inc scoop IS an implement not I'M
known in any we'll regulated newspaper
Office, and the desire of a newspaper
mans heart is to have his SCOOP bigger
than any body's. Therefore Editor Sam
Davis Of the Carson APPEAL is in a low
Gus frame OF mind. He has the biggest
scoop on earth in his Office. To explain:
Some days ago a ssh Francisco paper,
after the manner of its kind, claimed to
nave printed the first account of the bat
tie Of Manila bay. Arose then certain
citizens Of Nevada and deposited a thou
SAND dollars in the bank as IA wager that
the APPEAL had printed the first nara
ton of the battle published in America.
An examination Ofnewspaper files prov
ed the Nevada citi liens had a lead nine
cinch. The APPEAL had not ONLY scoon-
ed the other newSpapers; it had also
scooped Dewey. For the Carson journal
contained a full and strikinglv accurate
report of the battle two DAYS before if nc-
Cured. In all essential features. too. the
story was correct as those which came
along after the fight.
AS the battle hal not taken place, tele-
patny and occuIiSm are ruled ont rs ex-
plantations, and We are forced to the con-
cluSlon that brother Samuel is OF the
company of the prophets. Likewise he
Is a Guesser, with a big G. And his right
and title to the biggest scoop on earth
Will not be denied by any impartial
citizens.

SERIOUS FAMllY FEUD
Averted by Two of the BeIgerents Leaving
 the Country
Special to The Age-Herald.

special 10 The Age-Herald.
 Florence, Feb 1S.-What looked like serious family feud has just been ended down in the Smithsonia neighborhood, one of the participants having fled from the neighborhood. On Saturday last John Burns and James Cawhorn, sons of proTni- nent farmers, had fight on the road to town, resulting in the backing of Caw- horns eye. During the melee young fel- low named Ballentine took a knife away from Cawhorn, and undoubtedly prevented more serious affair.
 Saturday night, as young Burns was re- turning from town, he waylaid on the road by Cawhorn, and given a thrashing in return for what had been given in the afternoon. Saturday night later three shots were fired into the Burns home, pre- sumably by young Cawhorn and his father, William Cawhorn. On Monday morning Cawhorn met young Ballentine on the street, and gave him black eye for the part he took in the affair of Saturday af- ternoon. By this time the affair had be- come very interesting, and bloodshed was seemingly unavoidable. The problem was solved. however, when old man Cawhorn and his son fled incontinently, leaving the Burns victors. This is the second affair of this kind which has occurred in the Smithsonia neighborhood lately. The first, between young men named Mckinley and Hanm, has fortunately been settled. and the belligerents have become good friends.

He was standing a few feet from the mill imme- diately behind Cain, the mill tender. when Howell came fin from the engine room to get his orders to shut down. This was the last thing he remembered for some minutes. When he regafned conscious ness he saw the two negroes lying on either side of hiri'in a pool of blood.
