LUNATICS WHO PAINT.
Pictures of Striking Merit Executed
b. Many Madmen-

In 81 English gentleman's country
house is a picture which has aroused
the admiration of many Of the leading
artists Of the day. It represents a girl
uncopsci0usly trampling under foot
the body of a man. The mans face
is CHASTITY but the girls is beautiful.
and insane. The cause OF this madness
was supposed TO have been the girl In
the picture. He had been in love with
her for some time. and at last pro-
posed to her. When she rejected him
and told him that she was engaged to
another man. he went to his studio.
locked himself in and refused to admit
any one. There he painted for days
and nights without food or drink, and
when at last he unlocked the door and
came out he was raving mad
A short time ago an artist presented
his brother with a picture Of man
stabbing another in the back little
while afterward the brother was stab
bed in manner exactly similar to the
picture. and when the artist gave him
self up for the crime he was found to
be hopelesssy insane
In we'll known lunatic asylum there
is mailman who paints beautiful pic
lures. He has painted year after year

mems of his work. He will talk of art

ner. Yet on every other subject he is

paints nothing but mutilated limbs.
third lunatic spends day after day
in painting corn flowers. They are usu-
ally very large, but quite perfect, and
he never paints anything else or uses
any color but blue and a small guam
tity of white. The walls of his room
are crowded-ore might say smothered
in these flowers. Even the ceiling is
covered with them. The reason for
this mania is explained in this way:
He was engaged to be married, and
just a week before the day fixed for
the wedding he found his sweetheart
lying dead in a field. She wore a blue
dress, and led fastened in her belt
bunch Of corn flowers.
1t was proved at the inquest that she
died OF heart disease, but her lover re-
fused to believe it, declaring that she
had been murdered, and. with the
grewsome idea of painting her as she
was found, and exhibiting her in the
hope of convicting her murderer, he
set to work, but before the picture was
completed he went hopeIessly mad.
One insane artist exhibited for years
in the Academy without any one dis
covering the state of his mind. He
lived with a brother and sister, who
carefully watched him and sent up the
pictures for him. One day a gentleman
found his address and called to give
him an order for portrait, when to
his establishment, he found the artist
incapable of painting anything except
what occurred to his own disordereu
fancy.
A sad incident happened at the open
ing of one of the academies some time
ago. An artist, after years of strug-
gle, at last had picture accepted. He
was so poor that he had to sell almost
all his clothes in order to get it framed
His wife was starving at home, and his
child had died from want of food
When he saw his picture hung his
brain gave way, and one of the gentle
men present was so anected that he
accompanied him home.
There he found a wretched state OF
affairs, and the gentleman, who was
rich, had the artist Immediately placed
in an asylum and removed his vile
to his OWE home. A year or so later
the artist was perfectly cured, but
strange to say, all desire TO paint had
left him, and since his release he has
never handled a brush or shown the
slightest ability in that direction

saturday. Thunder storm.

A vioien. thunder storm visited this
community Saturday afternoon, and
the lightning played shop scot" and
"hide and seek" among the telephone
and electric light wires in way that
was shocking" indeed to delicately
strung nerves.
The lightning strucka sycamore tree
near Mrs. Sarah Storms, and that
good lady saw balls of electricity roll
down her hallway and ell over the
yard. Mrs. j. NJ. Weems, living close
by, was severely shocked.
The steeple Of the colored Baptist
Church was struck and shattered all
the way to the ground. Where the
bolt passed through the floor it was
set on fire and the building would
soon have been in flames, If colored
man who was passing soon afterward,
had not discovered and extinguished
it before it gained Roadway. Fortu-
nately, the main part of the church
was not injured, not even the window
glass broken.
The lightning also struck one of the
sheds at the brick yard, and that it did
not kill some of the hands who had
just suspended work for the evening
seems miracle.
Telephone boxes and incandescent
electric lights were burnt out by the
sportive fluid without number.
1t was "a hot time in the old town,
so to speak, while the storm lasted.

Death of DIR. Clement.

1t is with sincere sorrow and regret
that we chronicle the death of our fell
low townsman and friend, DIR. j. G.
Clement, which sad event occurred at
his home in Columbia last Saturday
evening about o'clock. His death
was sudden, being the result of
drink of what is commonly known as
wood alcohol, and came as terrible
shock and surprise to his many friends.
He had not been we'll for several days,
but was on the streets nearly all day
Friday, apparently as bright and cheer
full as was his wont, and his death was
entirely unexpected. For the past
year he has resided in Columbia for
the practice of his profession, dentis-
try, where he was getting considerable
work. He was man of retiring hab-
its, but of large heart and a most
kindly nature and disposition, having
nothing but good to say of mankind
and doing all the good that he could
in his modest, unostentatious way. DR..
Clement leaves a widow and one child
and other relatives. To them, in their
excruciating grief and bereavment, our
sympathy and prayers are offered. The
remains were carried to Purvis Sun
day, where they were inferred by the
side of his little infant son.-Pearl

County Finances,

The July quarterly report of County
Treasurer Prentiss Buie, shows the
county's finances to be in excellent
shape. A balance July of S6,592. -
to the credit of the general county
fund, and balance of 1896. II to the
credit of the county school fund, is
quite enough to tide the treasury over
until the collection of taxes begins
again. Before another term of the
Circuit Court, tax-paying will be we'll
under way.
This is showing which speaks great
ly to the praise of our county legisla-
ture, the Board of Supervisors, and for
which they should receive due credit.

Was Eauai to the Crisis.

One of our gentleman friends who
has the hallway and every room of his
handsome residence wired and fur
nished with electric lamps says he
was wildly besieged by his whole fam
lily when he reached home Saturday
night after the electric storm, who i'm
plored that the new-fangled things be
removed instanter or they would all
likely be killed before morning. He
was told in dramatic language how the
awful thunder crashed and the forked-
tongued lightning played on the
wires, penetrating every apartment Of
the snug home, and how strictly provi-
Dental it all seemed that even one of
his loved ones had been spared to tell
the awe-inspiring tale. To cap all, the
connecting box had been burnt out,
the incandescent electric lamps would
not give forth their accustomed light,
and the entire household would have
been shrouded in darkness but for
their calling into requisition a few
cast off coal-oil lamps of other days.
All this and good deal more like it
was poured into his ears in a perfect
chorus.
Our FRIEND who has all along been an
ardent friend of the new light system,
realized he was facing crisis and for
few moments was speechless. Then
his quick wits came to the rescue, he
broke out in a big laugh and CALCULATED,
20, pshaw you don't understand what
you are talking about. The electric
wires are what saved the last one of
you. l have just come from up town,
and they ell me that the lightning
struck a tree near Mrs. Storms, shat
tered the steeple of the negro Baptist
church, struck Seavey's brick yard and
dived into a big sink hole near John
Whites, and there wasn't an electric
wire connected with any of these
places. Yes, indeed, it was the cleo
trio wires that saved you, and we must
keep 'em in the house for future pro-
lection"
This unexpected sumner restored
quiet and confidence and the electric
lights are blazing in that home again
as cheerily as ever.
