A correspondent of the Raleigh News
and Observer, writing from Rutherford
ton, N. c., says: "Thirty-eight years ago
the northern soldiers, in a chase after
John Starnes, frightened him 50 badly
that he turned over large box on HIM
self and lay there hidden until they had
gone When right came he removed the
box to the woods, and since that time he
has made that box his home.
Starnes lives five miles northwest OF
Blacksburg, S. G. His box is surround
ed by poles to protect his hiding place.
He will even run from horse, cow or
sheep. The only way by which you can
see the wild man is by slipping upon him
when at his boX-house. Then he will
stop and look you straight in the face.
If you will agree with him then he will
talk, but unless you do he will either get
his gun or 60 into his box. Starncs is
now fifty-fve years old. Before the war
he assisted his father in making hats.
The hat he now wears was made before
the war by his father.
HE offers no excuse for his way of liv-
ing. He accept money from no one. He
will 'cuss' you if you offer him money.
He is in excellent health. He fishes,
catches and kills rabbits, eats acorns, etc
He bakes his bread on fiat rock. 1t has
been said that StarneS has plenty Of
meney."

Brought Along His Proof.

A man came into the waterworks office
the other day and said he wanted to make
a complaint. He was an excited man,
who breathed hard, and seemed to be
anxious to have his case attended to at
once.
"Say," he remarked, as he passed large
colored handkerchief around his generous
expanse of neck. 81 want to complain Of
a woman who wastes the city water, and
l want you to go right up there and shut
it Off"
The clerk at once scented neighbor-
hood quarrel, with an incidental desire
for petty revenge.
How do you know she wastes the
water?" he asked.
The complainant's face grew dark.
How do 1 know it?" he cried. "Why,
she threw a bucket of it on me!'
The clerk kept straight face.
"Have you any proof Of the charger"
he asked, with serious air.
"Proofr' echoed the complainant. "You
bet I've got proof! I ran all the way
down here SOS you see how wet am"
Then he departed, highly satisfied with
the promise that the case would be in
vestigated.

Yes, that is what we do want, and if
McLaurin was to arrange for his own

welcomed at such meetings, provided he

nothing else than wanting discussion, !"
but somehow our friend seems to have

well that national issues cannot be dis

Laxative BromosQ sQuinine Tablets
ths remedy that cures a cold In one day

Something new in planting corn is
practiced by Mr.. G. c. Patterson, near
Seneca. When he is ready to plant, he
soaks his corn one night, in soapy water,
which will kill any insect or vermin that
might destroy the grain. He says by this
method, he has planted on Thursday and
had corn up on Saturday. 1t looks like
this simple remedy would get ahead of
the bud worms.

Senator McLaurin surprised his friends
the enemy, by appearing at Anderson on
Friday and making another 4th of July
speech. He stated that he came because OF
provoking attacks made upon him during
his absence. Wicked Greenville people
allege that he was notified by wire that
Senator Tillman has been laid up with a
cinder in his good eye, and could not take
the stump for some time. Johnnie came
and received much applause, for he has
many admirers in the benighted region
where Josh Ashley is boss.-Ba-nwell
People.
The anti Laurin editors are certainly
hard pressed for something to say when
such statements as the above are made.
Our Barnwell contemporary ought to
know that the people of Anderson are
just as intelligent as the people of its own
county. Speaking of Anderson as "the
benighted region where Josh Ashly is
boss" is SANDER upon the people of that
county and Bro. Holmes should apologize
for and retract his statement.

Reflections of q Bachelor.

The pin is scratchier then the sword.
You can mend broken heart, but
never a broken promise.
1t isn't the girl who bushes at an off
color story that you want to look out for,
but the girl who doesn't
Not one girl in thousand is ever half
as much in doubt as to whether man
loves her as whether she loves him.
It's mighty mean married man who
sits down and figures out how many bill
lard games, drinks, and cigars he could
pay for with all the money he spent ON
flowers, theatres, and suppers when he
was engaged.
It's no sin to kiss girl if you don't tell
her you are going to do it.
What a woman calls temper in her Sis
tiers she calls sparkling vivacity in herself.
It's funny that woman can't lace shape
into fatness, yet she can lace fatness into
shape.

The Bigness of Kansas.

Every morning during the ploughing
season the Kansas farmer goes into corn
field as large rs the whole State of New
Jersey; every noon during the harvest the
harvesters come to dinner from wheat
field of 100000 acres, more than all the
State of Delaware, and every night Mary
calls the cattle home from pasture
larger than Pennsylvania. Once called
a desert, the State is now garden. The
mustang is succeeded by Percheron.
The buffalo has abandoned the prairies to
the Shorthorn and the Hereford. Corn
tassels where the Sioux and the Shawnee
danced. Wheat grows over the old prai-

A Cement Which Resists Acid.


In some branches Of industry c.
ment which is proof against the infiu-
ence Of acids is absolutely essential,
and such substance can be prepared
by melting together one part Of India
rubber with two parts Of linseed OIL
This should be gradually incorporated
with three parts of white bole so as to
form a plastic mass. This when heated
softens but very little. Though it does
not easily dry upon the surface, when
once set it Is not affected ut all by hy-
drochloric acid and but very little by
nitric acid. Its drying and hardening
Is materially promoted by mixing with
one-fifth Of its weight Of litharge or
minium.
