a Girls Crime.
Alleged to Have Thrown Her New
Born Baby in Rocky Branch.

The Columbia State, March 9Th.
Two small boys while playing yes
terday morning about Z o'clock, near
Rocky branch, ANAL stream which
runs in the southern part Of the city,
just outside the corporate limits,
made a gruesome discovery. The
body of male infant was seen lying
in the shadows near one of the banks.
The coroner and the officers of the
law were summoned and went at
once to the scene. A thorough in
vestigation was made and Lou
Spradley, a young woman of about
21 years of age, was closely question
ed. The girl told several versions of
the affair. She had become the
mother of child on Friday night, it
is alleged, and it was said yesterday
that she had confessed that it wac
her infant which was found in the
branch.
She was taken to the county Jail
and made as comfortable as possible
on account of her peculiar condition.
Her father also told several different
stories and was placed in the Jail.
The infants body was taken to Con-
nelly's undertaking establishment,
and an autopsy by Drs. Flshburne
and Coward revealed the fact that it
was not still born.
Jimmie McMeehsn, young man
whom the woman mentioned in con-
nection with the alleged crime, is
held at the Jail until the matter is
fully investigated.

In Cumberland and the lake dis
tricts there is a pretty custom that
accompanies the marriage service
proper. It is called giving the 'dow"

cd had it's origin in the time of the
Romans.
The ceremony requires that the
groom shall in advance provide him

money In a sum proportionate with
his means. It. used to be the rule
that this should be in gold, but the
rigidity Of the rule has been <abated
in that regard. This purse the groom
carries with him to the altar. and
keeps with him until that part of the
service is reached where he saws

coins into q bag or a silk handker-

Odd Tales Of a Detective
Some Of the Many Queer Things He Is Asked 10 Ferret
Out-Man in High Position Suspected by Crank
of Intent to Do Wrong.

I have had some amusing expert
ences in, my time, said a confidential
inquiry agent of long experience in
detective work in London, to a writer
In Tit-Bits. One of the oldest Of
them happened only a few months
ago.
One morning fashionably dressed
and attractive young woman called at
my Office and asked my assistance in
what I quickly discovered was an af-
fair of love and jealousy. She had
reason to believe, she said, that a
woman friend, whose description and
address she gave me, was in the
habit of meeting certain gentleman,
whose photographs produced, and
she asked me to keep a watchful eye
on the woman's movements for a
week and report results-which, of
course, I promised to do. -.
She had not been gone more than
half an hour when another young
woman, equally attractive, called and
contided an exactly similar story to
my ears. AS her tale developed l dis
covered, to my. amusement, that she
was the one whose movements had
been Instructed to- watch, and y the
woman whom she suspected of clan
destine meetings was my client of
half an hour :: earlier The funniest
thing, however. was that frequently
saw the young man Of the photograph
in a young Woman's company, but his
