A Faithful Dog.

Many hundred years ago there lived
at Athens q dog whose faithfulness
has caused him to be mentioned In
history, and in the Grecian city his
story is often repeated.
The dog guarded one Of the heather
temples ut Athens. One night thief
stole into this building and carried of
some of the most valuable treasures.
The dog vainly barked his loudest to
frighten the thief and to rouse the
keepers as the man went off with the
Jewels. But the faithful dog did not
mean to lose sight Of the rascal. and
all through the night he followed him.
BY daybreak the poor animal had be-
come very weary. but still he kept the
robber in sight The latter tried to
feed him, and rs he made friends with
the passersby he took 1t from them IN
stead. Whenever the thief stopped to
rest the dog remained near him, and
soon a report went through the coun-
try Of the animals strange behavior.
The keepers of the temple, hearing
the story, went in search Of the dog,
and they found him still at the heels
of the thief at town called Cronyon.
The robber was arrested. taken back
to Athens and there punished. The
Judges were so pleased with the dogs
sagacity and faithfulness that they or
dered him to be fed every day for the
rest of his life ut the public expense.

How Weather Works Wonders.

Not the least mysterious Of all the
wonders of the earth Is the eXtraOr

q carver and designer. Her tools are

Any one who has ever seen the mar
velous Queen Bess rock Oh the North

ment Of the great Queen Elizabeth,
who is seated so grandly upon the
sands, must have asked himself the
question as to how such thing could
have been accomplished.
Continuous trickling Of water wears
away the face Of the rock. Haphaz-
ard it was until at last weird pat
tern is formed that sometimes resem-

Another work Of Natures that very
often results in extraordinary changes
being effected Is landslip.
And landslips have arisen from the
tiniest possible causes. A little un-
derground flow Of water had gradually
undermined a hill or cliff until ut last
the earth became like hollow nut.
Then the soil became top heavy. The
sea beat against its foundations. and
millions Of tons Of earth were flung
into the sea. which proves the axiom
that the tiniest beginnings often pro-
duce the mightieSt ends.

. Extension of Taxes.

Letters are already being received in
quiring whether the time for the pay
ment of.taxes will be extended or not.
It is perennial nuisance. Year after
year the time for the payment of taxes
has been extended until the people gener-
ally have looked upon it as forcgone
conclusion that the usual extension will
be made. It would be 4 splendid thing
if some of these folks should be badly
fooled and were made to pay the penal
ties. The State ought to fix time for
the payment of taxes and then stick to it,
like other people do. There is no reason
or sense, to say nothing of economic con-
siderations, for the State to fix Dccem-
Der 81 as the last day for the payment of
State and county taxes, and then, at the
last moment, extend the time until Febru
ary or March Is, as has been so often
done. 1t is child's play in an important
matter
DR.. Zimmerman will, in a short time,
be scratching his head because he has no
money with which to meet the semi-an-
nual interest on the bonds Of the State
He will meet the interest charges, but
will probably have to skirmish around
to get the money. This is brought
about first by the persistent postpone
ment of the last day for paying taxes and
the county treasurers holding funds
which they ought to send to Columbia:
There never was better time than the
present to impress the fixedness of the
statute as to the payment of taxes. The
Governor and Comptroller General can
extend the time for paying taxes, and
they ought to announce at once that
there will be no extension this year. 1t
is generally admitted that the people of
the State are in better financial condl-
ton than they have been for many years
and that in some sections they are more
prosperous than they have been since the
war.-Columbia Correspondence News
and Courier.

Poisonous Effects Of WEAKNESS.

The eating Of high" game is un.
doubtedly attended with risks, and thu
poisonous effects are probably due to
the toxins produced in the earlier
stages Of the putrefactive process. The
advantage, OF course, Of hanging game
is that the aesh becomes tender and
decidedly more digestible than when
it Is quite fresh. The ripening proc
ess, however, may mean the eiabora-
ton Of toxins.
It has been stated that the produc-
tion of the characteristic flavors OF
game is related directly to the amount
of sulphuretted hydrogen or sulphur
alcohol set free, but it is rather re-
pulsive to think that the delicate flavor
of game is dependent upon that invari-
able product Of decomposition of rot.
ten eggs-sulphureted hydrogen. The
smell evolved during cooking Of "high'
game is even more disgusting.
Fresh game sometimes sets up mys-
terious poisonous symptoms which
have been attributed to the fact Of the
game having been overhunted and
faugued. Fatigue products indeed
have been separated from overhunted
game which. when injected into a
healthy animal. have produced marked
poisonous effects. There Is no doubt
that fatigue products under certain cir
cumstances are also elaborated In the
human body and give rise to species
of self poisoning. characteristic symp-
toms Of which are headache. stupor
and gastric and intestinal pains. The
flesh Of overdriven cattle may prove
poisonous from the same cause.=

Killing Near Rock Hill,

Rock HILL, Dec. 21.-A homicide oc-
Cured a mile and a half from town
yesterday afternoon, the particulars of
which have not yet been learned. The
parties were negroes and worked on Mr.
Will Cowan's place. The man killed
was Ed. Tidwcll He was shot in the
head with gun. shot by a boy of 1S or 20
years of age. Mr.. Cowan was in his lot
and Tidwcll was working behind some
outhouses. The boy carrying a gun
passed Cowan and went on to where
Tidwcll was. In few moments gun
shot was heard and the boy came run
ming to Mr. Cowan calling upon him to
cut his throat, barring it to view as
he did so. Mr.. Cowan had to use
force to keep the weeping and excited
negro away from him. The boy finally
went away and Mr.. Cowan went round
the house to find Tidwell stone dead with
the side of his head torn away.

HnSy a Dog Stonred OoGhCht.


On one Of the most pleasant side
streets of Cleveland live two dogs-a
large, dignified hound and a saucy,
small fox terrier. The two are the
best Of friends, and the big dog Is al
ways ~Stching over the little one and
doing his best to keep the pert fellow
out Of fight. But the other day his
watchfulness failed. Another terrier
came and yelled defiance at the
hounds comrade, and when the big
dog arrived upon the scene 1t was to
behold a frantic, tumbling. swapping
heap, of which his favorite was part.
He seemed to consider the state Of
things, then gave sigh of patient dig
nifty and began to walk around the
combatants. keeping q critical eye on
the struggle and evidently acting the
part of umpire. His favorite was get
ting the worst Of it. but he did not in
terfere. Maybe he thought the pun
ishment of defeat was better than any
he could bestow. He watched silently
till all ut once his friend gave 4 yelp
of real pain and. trouble. Then sud-
denly the big dog awoke. With a
bound he was beside the other two.
With one tap Of his paw he sent the
victor over into the dust, grabbed his
favorite in his mouth as a cat grabs
her kitten and made off to his own
back yard.
During the next hour he licked. scold-
ed and fondled the repentant terrier.
And now the two are more devoted
than ever, though the little dog seems
more meek and decidedly more obedi-
ent than of yorc.-Cleveland Plain

Criminal Must Hang.

BEAUFORT, S. c., Dec. 24.-The white
citizens of Beaufort town and county
heartily endorse the action of the South
Carolina supreme court, now in session
ut Columbia, in diSmissing the appeal Of
the negro iiend, George Thomas, who as
saultcd Mrs Rosa Doubcrley near Hardcc-
Vile last Easter Sunday morning.
Thomas was sentenced last May to be
hung here on June Goth, and his attorney,
W. J. Whipper, appealed for new trial
for his client on the ground that his race
was not represented on the jury, which
condemned him. The appeal which has
Just been denied has been pending since
last May. The fiend will now be re-sen
fenced at the approaching term of the
court of general sessions, which convenes
here early in January, and he will in all
probability pay the penalty for his awful
crime some time dnring the month
of February, 1901.

For Causing Her Ruin.

BosToN, Dec. 21.-The most remarkable
criminal case tried in the Massachusetts
Superior Court in many years, and which
aroused intense interest in the fashion
able Back Bay district, ended yesterday
when Judge Bond probationed Marion
Rogan, who had blinded for life
DR.. Frank L. Taylor, a dentist, by throw
ing vitriol in his face out of revenge for
her betrayal. The young girl had earlier
appeared before the Judge and told her
pitable story, and showed the white-haired
Justice her little babe of which she claimed
Taylor was the father.
She said Taylor, after he had wrecked
her life, had told her he was irresistible
among women by reason of his good
looks.
In announcing his decision Judge Bond
said from the evidence it appeared that
DR.. Taylor had sought out Miss Rogan,
knowing she was virtuous woman, who
had in no way wronged him, for the sole
purpose of causing her ruin, and, after
he had accomplished it by fraud and de-
ception, and the use of Intoxicating g
liquors, if not by drugs, he unfeelingly
cast her off without assistance and adj
vised her to resort to life of prostitu-
ton, and even boasted of his disgraceful
conduct with this young woman.
''Such man." the Judge added, "is so
vile that have no pity for him in his un-
fortunate condition"
Judge Bond said he regretted that Miss
Rogan did not leave the punishment of
her betrayer to higher power than her
self. As to the possibility that similar
acts of personal vengeance would follow
the probationing of this prisoner, the
Judge said that such acts were so rare,
none other having come before him in
the forty years of his service on the bench,
that he would take the risk and order the
release of the prisoner on probation.

4 Fairfield Farmer Assassinated.

WINNsEoRo, Dec. ~. News was
brought TO MinnSboro on Tuesday of the
killing Of Mr.. s. p Martin at his home at
Rocky Mount, in this county, on the 18th.
by an unknown party.
About o'clock on Monday evening
Mr.. Martin, who was very deaf, was sit
ting in his room with only a little dog as
a compgnion. The animal, hearing a
noise in the yard, began to bark furious
ly. On opening the door to sec what the
trouble was. Mr.. Martin received Il gun
shot wound in the stomach, but it all hap
pcncd so quickly and the night was so
dark, that he was unable to identify the
party, Mr. Martin fired several pistol
shots to summon aid and very soon some
negroes came to his assistance. He was
perfectly conscious until l O'Clock next
dav. when lie died. The official verdict
of the coroner's inquest has not been re-
ccivcd, but it is rumOrcd that negro
with whom the deceased had had trouble
has been arrested and brought to town.
The shots fired were slugs, several of
which were not sent with sufficient force
to pass through the clothing. The gun
belonging to the suspected negro showed
that one barrel was loaded with slugs,
like those taken from the body, and the
other barrel had been recently fired.
Mr. Martin was farmer who lived by
himself on his place about 90 miles from
town.

About two weeks ago he coughed up a

the cause of the trouble. The bright
