BRAIN GUIDES THE HANDS.
Scientific Explanation Of Why Some
People Arc Left Handed.


People Arc Left Handed.
Il Is a well-known fact, says the Ion.
don Optician, that tho stronger aCtlv-
ity Of the nerves of the right half of
the body (for not only the hand Is
concerned) must be ascribed to a pre-
ponderance Of the loft side of the
brain, whose finer development, es.
peclally as the seat Of the center of
speech Is a matter Of common knowl-
edge
In paper by Dr. Luddeckens in the
Allgemolnes Journal Der Uhrmacher-
lunst valuable information regarding
the causes Of the unequal working of
the two hemispheres of the brain is
furnished. A sketch touching on the
history of evolution leads from the
original symmetry of the organism to
subsequent-symmetrical arrange
ment OF the heart and the large blood
| vessels from which it follows quite
naturally that the two halves of the
/ head are not placed on an equal foot
ing, as regards the distribution Of
the blood, and consequently, of the
blood pressure, and that, on the con-
trary, there must be under normal
conditions a stronger pressure on the
arteries of the let side Of the head.
This theory i2 borne out by well.
known experience Of anatomists and
pathologists and o series of interest.
, ing observations. OF special interest,"
is the effect of the higher blood pres.
sure upon the left eye. DR.. Lud-
DICKENS found in tho latter, as com.
pared with the right one, in a surpris.
ingly large number Of cases, q mar.
rover pupil in consequence of a more
tilled-up condition OF the vessels OF
the iris, and upon closer examination
shorter construction of the eyeball
This furnishes reason for the fact that
in large number OF persons the left
eye is the better one. Thus the finer
development of the left half of the
brain is explained very simply by the
fact that it is better supplied with
blood, and the question why it is the
oCelL VI blAC NO41lCl VI opCCCu anu W ny
most people are right-handed is solved
in the most natural manner.
It is striking how true a reflection
of the conditions described is afforded
by the examinations of left-handed per
sons. In many cases q redder colo
, was noticeable on the right side O
the face; the right eye was bull
shorter, it's pupil narrower; in short
everything points to a better bloot
supply on the right side of the brain
which, in consequence, imparts to tn
left side of the body the preponde1
ance over the right one, a condition
styled left-handedness. In close cor
nection thereto is the habit of mos
9 left-handed persons to sleep on tn
. left side in the unconscious endeave
+ to relieve the right half of their braiI
S which is more charged with blood dul
4 ing the day. For right-handed person
: the position on the right side is tn
0 more natural one for the same req

the name of Flarnery, where he broke
Jail and escaped to Detroit, Mich, since
which time he has broken into no less
tnan IL houses, was given four years
Before sentencing him, Judge Murphy
asked him to give some advice to
boy who was in a felon's seat for the

"All l can tell him is that since 1
was 10 l have had no pleasure or peace
or comfort. I can tel him that the
game is not worth it. I can tell him
that it's always worry and fear and

ADVISE the boy to keep out of a life

five years" The judge told him he
took one year off his sentence because

CASE OF ABDUCTION.
Magistrate Chappell Sends TO the Higher
Court the Cass Of Will Leroy and His
WIFI, Ollie Leroy, Charged With the
abduction Of Mary Todd, Daugh-
ter OF j. Fl. Todd

After a preliminary hearing, Magls-
trate J. H. Chappell on Saturday sent
to the higher court the case of Will
Leroy and his wife, Ollie Leroy,
charged with the abduction of Mary
Todd, the fourteen year old daughter of
Mr.. J. H. Todd, of this city. The girl
| was taken from the home Of her aunt,
three miles from the city, on the 22nd
day of May, and since that time has
been in Greenville, and is still in that
place. The parties charged with the
crime were in Newberry during the
building of the Mollohon Mill, Leroy
working on the building under Mr..
Grandy.
1t appears from the testimony taken
on Saturday that on the day named
LeRoy's wife drove up to the house of
Mr.. J. H. Todd's sister, with whom
Mary Todd was living, and made the
request that Mary be allowed to drive
about mile down the country with her
in order to get some tools which be-
longed to her husband. The reason
given was that she could not drive and
hold her baby, whom she had with her
in the buggy. The erequestwas granted,
but instead of going the way proposed,
the horse was turned around and started
towards town. On the way Leroy him.
self, who had been hiding in some
bushes near by, was picked up. Moth
ing was heard of the girl that day and
night and next day warrant was issued
for the arrest of the parties.
The warrant was sent to the Sheriff
of Greenville and the parties were ar
rested in Easley during the month of
June. Bond was given for appearance
here on Saturday, and on Saturday for
appearance at the next term of court
for this county.
The prosecution was represented by
Col. O. L. Schumpert and the defend
ants by Mr.. J. B. Hunter.
This is the first trial in case for alb
duction ever held in Magistrate Chap
pells court.
