A YEAR ago John Amber, drummer,
sued the Atlantic Coast Line for dam
ages because of slow time made by a
freight train on which he was riding.
Since that time the railroad hat refused
to carry passengers on the freight trains.
Last Friday Amber filed bill against
the Coast Line because he was refused
transportation. He claims he is out 81
because he had to lose days work
waiting for q passenger train from Lau-
rens to Mccormick. The railroad refuses
to pay the bill, and the Railroad Com
mission stands by it. The large rail
road systems are pretty arbitrary con-
Germs al times, but there is no just rea-
son why people should try to squeeze
money out of them "a-comin' and
a-goin'."

unlntentionally Shot by Friend.

Columbia, s. c., February 2s.--At
Brookland tonight John Bundriok, an
operative in the Columbia mills, was
shot and Instantly killed by his friend,
Bob Doyle. Bundrick was shot acci-
dentally and in the dark, and it was not
known for fully ten minutes that he had
been killed. The town marshal had
arrested negro who had been drunk
and disorderly. Another negro, sup
posed to be confederate, came up with
q drawn pistol, and Bob Doyle struck
the pistol from the negro's hand. While
the crowd was looking for the pistol the
negro unknown bolted. He was fired al
by Mr.. Doyle, who had then found the
revolver. The crowd pressed on In the
dark in pursuit, and after about ten
minutes returned to the guard house.
Here John Bundrick's hat was found,
and his absence was noted. His body
was later discovered in the drain in front
of the guard house. Bundrick was but
23 years of age, and native of Lexing-
ton county.

THE papers publishing poem under

name of Miss Roosevelt white lady

than ordinary qualities of head and

bounds Of justly indignant censure are
passed and the fold of indecency entered
There is no probable good to come of
such articles, while in them lies tho pos

a portion of the time-honored adage is
peculiarly appropriate
Five things observe with care:
OF whom you speak,

PLENTY OF LAND in ocoNEE.

/. O. N. Crotsonburg, of Missouri, is asi.
ing for information as to land in South
Carolina suitable for raising sheep.
There is plenty of it in oconee suitable
for sheep ranches, pastures and hay
raising, and 1t can be bought for 81 an
acre up to 500, according to location. II
would be well for Mr.. Crotsepburg to
visit this section of the State and see for
himself just show the land lies" The
following is from the Columbia GORE
spondence of The News and Courier:
just on the heels of the killing of the
dog tax law by the Senate last night
comes an inquiry from @. N. Crotsen-
burg, West Plains, Mo-, as to the advant-
ages this. State possesses in the way OF
raising sheep. The Comptroller General
will answer the letter, but il he tells
about the dog legislation there will not
be much inducement for the Missourian
to make further inquiry. The letter to
the Comptroller General follows: 81 am
seeking a location for sheep ranch in a
milder climate than this. Can tracts of
suitable pasture and hay land be obtained
In the Northwestern part of your State
In quantities of 1000 to 10000 acres, and
at what pricesp Any information re-
SaruluS gbau6, anu eSpeCldiiy OCOuee
county, will be appreciated"
There is plenty of room and hearty
welcome in Oconee for Mr.. Crotsenburg
and others who wish to establish sheep
ranches or other industries. Oconee is
pushing forward, and now is the time to
get in on the ground floor. Ten years
from now lands here will be bringing
much more than they are to-day.
Worthless dogs are drawback to
sheep-raising, it is true, but it is not
much harder to kill bad dogs in this
country than it is to kill good bills in the
Senate and House.

NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Petunia Beats Arkansas Pass in Game
Race.

There was battle royal between two fair
daughters of the north and south yesterday
afternoon at the New Orleans race track.
Petunia proved she was worthy descend
ant of the knight of the Thistle by carry
ing off the honors for the New Jersey
stallion in a head finish for the ST. Charles
Hotel stakes with Arkansas Pass. the miss
from the broad. rolling plains of Texas
The race was at four fuflongs-the long
est distance the babies have been asked
to go this season. In the betting Becky
Rice was made strong favorite. She cut
sorry figure in the running and finished
sixth. Petunia and Arkansas Pass were
quoted at to 2, and this pair had the
struggle between them all the way. They
raced like a team from barrier rise to the
finish. After desperate drive through the
stretch Petunia secured the decision on the
post.
Backers of favorites Jared poorly, as only
two-Sir Johnson and Rane-won their
races. The remainder of the program was
secured by second and third choices.
The news that E. ]. Arnold & Co. had fail
ed and that certificates of deposits were as
valuable as confederate government bonds
caused large crowd of victims Of the get
rich-quick concern to visit the New Orleans
office of the concern. They found that the
agent, W. j. Slusher, had left for parts un-
known.
The crowd then fairly raced to the sher-
IFS office to place an attachment on the
horses running In the firms name. Then
they found they were a trif1e too late for
the employees of the firm-the stable hands
and trainers-had secured the sheriffs pro-
lection by swearing out an attachment
against the horses for services rendered
and not paid for.

ARRANGING GOLF RULES.
Chicago May Also Get Women's Cham
pionship Tourney.

G. Herbert Windeler, Country Club, OF
Brookline Mass. the nominee for president
Of the United States Golf Association, and
who will be elected next Tuesday night at
the annual meeting Of that body, was in
New York city yesterday.
He said he was in the city specially to
attend the last meeting Of the committee
appointed to revise the rules, consisting Of
Charles Blair Macdonald. chairman: Wal
ter j. Travis and himself.
This was rendered necessary by the re-
vision of the rules by the Royal and An
cient Golf Club of st. Andrews, which went
into effect January 1.
He said the committee has made no
changes In the new rules, but merely added
its interpretations to the rules In such
cases as they were needed. and that the
new rules would be made public In a few
days.
Regarding the woman's championship, Mr..
Windeler Is of the opinion that 1t would be
a dangerous precedent to allow a petition
from the players to settle the disposition
Of the award Of a championship. 1t is
question to be settled entirely by the votes
of the delegates present at the meeting.
Personally he Is in favor of 1t going to Chi
cago, as 1t Is national event and has
never yet been held in the west. So far as
some Of the women are concerned they
would just soon go to Chicago as Allan
tic City. despite the fact that they have
already signed the petition asking for the
event to be decided in the east.
