Blood Flowed Freely.

Accompanied by Deputy Collector
Mccoy, the local constabulary force
recently searched the, registered distil-
lery and premises Of Tully Babb, To-
Gated four miles from Greenville, and
found five gallons Of contraband goods.
Before the officers left the premises,
a party composed of Tully Babb, Joe
Babb, John Beard, Will Brown, all
white, hid in the woods and opened
fire On the constables with pistols and
winchester rifles. The officers return
ed the fire.
For ten minutes rapid firing contin-
ued, fully fifty shots being fired On
each side. When their ammunition was
exhausted the constables and men
joined in a hand to hand fight, and
blood flowed freely. Finally the off,
GERS succeeded in arresting the four
men. They were later released On
bond. No one of the party was serious
ly shot.

5000 Times More Valuable Than Gold.

5000 Times More Valuable Than Gold.
The greatest wonder in the line OF
science just now is radium, the new
substance discovered by Paris pro-
fessor and his wife. Radium looks
like ordinary table salt, but it is worth
about million dollars pound, and
there is only a tablespoonful in eNis-
tence.
"Radium is the rarest and most pre-
cious substance in the world" says
Cleveland Moffett, in McClure's Mag
azine. It has so many mysterious pow
ers that even its discoverers do not
understand it. Some Of the strange
things that it can do ere as follows:
1. It gives out heat without being
consumed.
2. It gives out light. Two pounds OF
it would light up a room thirty feet
square
3. If it is held near the eyes it will
cause blindness.
4. It destroys germs, plants and
small animals like mice and rabbits.
Professor DanysZ says that couple
Of pounds would destroy the whole
population of Paris if they came With
in it's influence.
s. It cures cancer and similar dis
eases.
6. It has mysterious influence upon
insects, killing some and prolonging
the lives of others.
z. It can be used to produce new spe-
cies of insects, birds and animals.
NJ. Curie and his wife, who discoV-
cred it, have had their hands and arms
burned by the dangerous substance.
1t is possible. they say, that radium
may be cheaper, but at present it takes
eight tons of material to produce
enough radium to fill salt spoon.

Cinnamon BEING SwindIed.

What appears to be a bold scheme
for swindling Cinnamon was developed
at Charleston recently. when a num-
Der of Cinnamon reported to H. J. Re.
nick. inspector Of immigrants at the
custom house, that one Of their num-
Der, a laundryman, had been extorting
money from them for several weeks
past, claiming that money was required
Of them for the privilege of living in
the United States. The Cinnamon
stated that an American had been max
ing the collections for the laundryman.
The case was reported to the authori-
ties at Washington. and it is expected
that arrests will soon follow. 1t ap-
pears that Charlestonian is connect
ed with the swindling scheme. Hun,
dreds of dollars have been collected
from the Cinnamon of the city.

No Race Suicide Among the Fishes.

Perhaps few people who eat tishballs
and salmon salad know that if it were
not for the persistent work OF the
Fisheries Commission both the COD
and the salmon would be exterminated.
In fact, constant battle is going on
between the Fisheries Commission and
the enemies of the cod and salmon
These two kinds Of hsh cannot repro
duce themselves fast enough to sur
vive and have to be protected by the
United States Government.
The latest report of the Fisheries
commission says that 100000 sal
mon are hatched every year in the
Government hatcheries, and more than
IS, 900, 900 cod. Three steamships, six
special cars and twenty five hatcheries
are now in use. ut would take sever

ernment may do as much to help the

to protect young Goldfish.
