Temch Styles to Hang.

The GreenYille News OF yesterday
states that Tcnch will be hung IN
Alabama for murder. He is anativc
of Grernvillc couptv, this State, and is
a. very handsome fellow. He was ac-
quilted Of murder in Greeryille. Sume
time since he was convicted OF VIC
lating the Dispcnsary law in this coun-
ty and returning to receive sealed
sentence, the fine was too big. He
went on the chain gang last year and
promptly escaped. 1t is probable he
wont directly to Alabama from his
predicamcnt here.

The Fourth of July.

The two Sunday Schools OF the Lau-
rens Cotton Mill. Methodist and Bap-
tiot, celcbra ed this national holiday
in lifting way by an afternoon picnic
at Holmes Spring. Two of the most
popular and talented young lawyers of
the city accepted the invitations OF the
scho OILS as orators OF the occasion
Mr.. Benjamin f. Roper and Mr.. w.
w. Ball. a rustic stand under the
spreading branches Of the oaks was
erected and TRAPPED wttfr Il aStsragome
United States flag, aned by MIR. S.
Frank Parrott, the splendid !argc silk
Confederate Flag of Camp CARING
ton, loaned by Col. II. B. Crews and a
number Of small flags loaned by Mr..
Hugh Kennedy. The circle of gently
sloping hills near the spring made an
amphitheatre where the large and ct
tentive audience from the Mill and
from town sat around the stand and
greatly enjoyed the splendid ad lrcsses.
Mr. William Baldwin, Superintendent mt
OF the Baptist Sunday School intro
duced the speakers. The first In or.
der was Mr.. Roper, who told the
young people in chaste and beautiful
language Of the carly history of the
United States and Of the flag of stars
and stripes. OF the seven years of
secHllnSly hopeless struggle oil the
thirteen States against the strong arm
OF England, but that the heroes OF Val
ley Forge and Bunker's Hill were un-
daunted and finally that glorious 4th
OF July came in which they could de-
clare themselves free and independent.
Mr.. w. w. Ball was then introduced
his carefully prepared, eloquent and
very beautiful tribute to the Confed-
crate ilag-the Banner Of the Bars
that Is now only Is memory, was his.
tOrical and instructive alike to old as

served. For the quantity OF ice uset

largest moose head in the worlds
the property of w. F. Sheard. of
Tacoma, Wash. Tt has forty prongs,
and it's immense fanlike antlers are
enormous in their width as we'll as in
height. The marvel is that any neck
could have carried such burden.
Its history is unusual and tinctured
with the romantic superstition of the
Canadian Indian. For many years
the Indian tribes around Fort Selkirk
and the mouth of the Stewart River,
in the northwest territories of Canada,
had told among themselves the tale of
mighty moose, q 'hi-uh moose, ;"
that for years and years had haunted
the district of the Stewart River.
Many years before, when this gigantic
animal had first appeared, their
fathers had endeayored to kill it; for
days they had tracked the beast
through the painless forests. Easy
to track it was, for the immense
antlers, said the Indians, made path
through the foliage of tho trees wider
than man was high, and the marks
OF his huSe prongs Oh the park were
certain indications of his path. But
nobody was able to kill him.. Gradually
grew up around this huge. mysterious
animal superstitious reverence that
he should escape all bullets and arrows
and evade all pitfalls.
In October of 1897 an Indian French
half-breed, untroubled by supersti-
ton. legends or scruples, came into the
post and reported that for four days
he had followed the "hi-uh moose"
and had killed it near the headwaters
of the Stewart River, two hundred or
three hundred miles from Dawson
City (Klondikel. This was in the
dead of winter.
Finally party of whites went out
from the post and brought the moose
in. The next year the head was sent
down the Yukon to Tacoma, Wash,
where w. f. Sheard. skin merchant
of that city, bought it, and in his pos
session this unique and magnificent
trophy remains. et

SAYS EARTH lis ROUND
AND HE MAY BE THROWN INTO
PRISON.
Sad Condition of Affairs In Engiand--
Sir John Gorst Accused of Intention
to Teach False Precepts-City of Ports-
mouth Excited.

It is painful to read that Sir John
Gorst, the head of the British educa-
tional department Is in serious trouble
and has been threatened by Mr.. Eben-
ezer Breach and other taxpayers OF the
city OF Portsmouth, in the kingdom OF
England, with prosecution under the
"imposters' act.' 1t seems that the
schools of Portsmouth have been teach
ing the damnable and heretical doc
trine that the earth is a sphere. Sir
Johns attention has been called to this
dissemination OF seditious and trea-
sonable doctrine, but he has refused to
correct the abuse EbeneZer and his
friends know, of course. that the earth
is as fiat as pancake. They have
been patient with Sir John. and day
after day have allowed the false teach
Ing regarding the shape of the earth
to go on, but can stand 1t no longer,
they say, to see their children cor
rupted with this most "heretical doc
trine," as the complainants call 1t in
this protest Sir John Gorst has many
political enemies, and even his politi-
cal friends do not always agree with
him; but the depth of his depravity was
not known until he was unmasked by
Mr.. Ebenezer Breach and his friends.
Sir John may cavort about parliament
and deceive some people, but when he
runs up against body of respectable
British taxpayers, the bulwarks of the
throne and the guardians Of the consti-
tuition, 1t is another matter. Such new
tangled ideas as that of the earth be-
Ing sphere he may impose upon the
frivolous persons who riot In the un-
godly city Of London, but not upon the
taxpayers of Southampton. Ebenezer
and his friends mean business, and
have served formal notice upon the
Portsmouth school board that the
teaching that the earth is a sphere
cannot be allowed to continue under
my circumstances, plea or explanation
whatever" and that it must be aban-
doned under pain OF the punishment
for schism by the law provided" After
having stamped out the dastardly doc
trine in the schools Of Southampton.
the committee announce that they will
next go up to London and bring the
London school board before the courts,
being well advised and informed that
the same doctrine regarding the shape
Of the earth Is also taught in the Lon
don schools. Sir John, meantime, Is
to be brought to court and prosecuted
under the imposters' act" aforesaid.
Now, the "imposters' act" is a part Of
the British constitution, probab bly,
no one knows what Is, and what is
not part Of that nebulous thing-and
provides certain pains and penalties,
such as forfeiture OF estate and burning
at the stake, II recalcitrant. Ebenezer
and his friends are worthy and reputa-
BILE citizens and mean business. If
necessary they will light the fires OF
Smithfield again for the wicked Sir
John At last accounts Sir John was
still at large, and so was Ebenezer.

ing corps from England is on the
scene of action. The great Napoleon
regarded military balloons as of 'no
strategical Importance. He was
accompanied by a ballooning corps
during his second campaign in Egypt,
but the wagons containing the acces-
sories fell into British hands, and this
calamity no doubt Influenced his
opinion. However, since those days
military balloons have done good work
on many occasions, and it is con-
fidently expected that their advent in
the Transvaal will afford many lessons
in the possibilities of ballooning in
warfare. --.-z.-.-.-- s-,.s.--..a..
The British balloon division is fully
equipped for the work it is to per

be expected to execute may be summed
up as follows: First, to discover the

A MUMMY MYSTERY.
Eemains Found of Woman OF Gigantic
Proportions.

Eemains Found of Woman OF Gigantic
Proportions.
There has just come into the pos
session of the Historical society OF
Kansas a most interesting and remark
able relic OF the days when giants trod
the earth. The relic consists OF the
mummifled body of woman Of gigan-
tic proportions, in whose arms are
clasped the remains OF an infant. The
bodies were found in a cave In the fo-
ssmite valley. There was no clew to
the age of the mummy, and SO far no
authority on archaeological subjects mas
been bold enough to go on record with
an opinion regarding the probable time
In the earth's history when the mother
and babe were living beings. The in
formation SO far gathered Is somewhat
meager, although those most Interested
in the matter are doing their best to
arrive at some plausible theory. Here
is the signed statement OF the historl-
cal society, which throws as much hgnt
On the subject as it is possible to obtain
at present: I'VE have no history OF
the relic. excepting that G. F. Martin.
dale. whose home Is at Scranton, Usage
county, Kan, left 1t as temporary
deposit with the Historical society. He
reported 1t as having been found by
party of prospectors In a cave In the
Yosemite valley, in California he
says he is endeavoring to trace its his
tory. Our best local authorities on
matters OF this kind are uncertain as
to the probable origin OF the relic.
The mummy is 6 feet inches IN
length, 141s at the shoulders, and is
inches across from elbow to elbow, ap-
pearing very narrow for the height.
There Is a necklace about the neck.
consisting of perhaps leather cord. IN
which two or three slender white teeth
are inserted. Coarse black hair SHOWS
In the wrapping about the neck Inc
shroud has the appearance OF very
thin piece OF buckskin, badly worn
and frayed about the edges, covering
the head like hood, and enveloping
the greater part of the body. 1t seems
to have been divided below the knee
and drawn up about the leg and laced
a, the foot and ankle. The color OF tne
mummy is dusty gray. much Ike an
old chamois skin, which has been wet
ora ,ono exposed to weather and where
the flesh is exposed It presents the ap-
nearance Of old putty.
