Thorpes in less than half the time and was off hunting before the sun was an hour high. He was armed with an old fashioned smooth bore muzzle load CT, and Thorpe was astonished after he had become better acquainted with his new companions method to find that he hunted deer with fine bird shot. The Indian never expected to kill or even mortally wound his game, but he would follow for miles the blood drops caused by his little wounds until the animals in sheer exhaustion allowed him to approach close enough for a dispatching blow. At 2 o'clock he re- turned with small buck, tied scientif- ically together for toting, with the waste parts cut away, but every ounce of utility retaineds

Awful Death of Young Man

Meredith Gregory, nicknamed
"Bee" Gregory, white youth, aged
Is years, met with a horrible death
Thursday morning of last week about,
5 o'clock on the "Y" Of the South
ern railway, which is located near
and above the Spartauburg Junction
and this side of where the two tracks
the mainline and the Asheville road
branch. 1t is used as a turn table.
A freight train was being made up
for Columbia, and Engineer Anthony
had shifted his locomotive up the
track on the "Y" to get ready for
his journey. The wheels Of the ten.
der Of the locomotive struck huma,
object, and in an instant life was ex.
tinguished and the body horribly
crushed.
Coroner Foster was notified, anG
he conducted an inquest over the
remains. A jury was empaneled
The testimony adduced was to the
effect that the unfortunate youns
man must have either been asleep OF
the track, or lying there in some
helpless condition.
Meredith Gregory was son OF Mr.
and Mrs. Gregory, who live in tb,
Spartan Mills section. He worked
occasionally in the Spartan Mills, il
the cloth room. He was not an in
dustrious lad, and travelled arc
roamed about o. great deal. He wa
seen near the spartanbure junction
on Wednesday night, and did no
appear to be drioking. His remain
were carried to his old home in Uniol
county for burial. = Spartanbur

Letter to BIZ. Foster,
Union. s, &.

Dear Sir: You ask how many square
feet a gallon will cover. Depends on
condition of building.
There is great deal of lying on this
point. The stock claim of lying paints
is 800 square feet, two coats. It's lie,
as rule.
Devoe covers 800 to 800 our agents
think. We think 300 too low and zoo
too high; though doubtless, they both
occur.
How much the other paints cover is
equally doubtful; we guess 100 to 400.
The truth is found in another compar-
ison. Dsvoe is all paint, true paint,
strong paint and full measure; the Others
in general are at the best, diluted, adul
terated and short measure They cover
according TO body and measure. You
can't paint with clay, lime, chalk, sand
barytes, water or air--no. body in them
Go by DevJe.
Yours truly,

OCEAN LINERS IN PORT.
The Work That Is Done by the Crew
That Never Sails.

The Work That Is Done by the Crew
That Never Sails.
The captains authority over an ocean
liner, and equally, of course. his respon-
sibility for her, extend only over the
ne when she is crossing the sea.
Practically the responsibility ceases
when she approaches land on either
side, for the pilot assumes charge Of
her navigation as soon as he comes
aboard. When the ship arrives at her
pier, or as soon, to be exact, as she is
within hailing distance, the captain is
no longer in control. She is then under
the authority Of the marine superin-
tendent, who is in command Of the
piers and tugs and harbor front equip
ment Of the line and who takes charge
Of the docking Of all vessels.
To bring giant liner to rest at her
pier is delicate operation. The flow
Of the tide, the headway impaired by
her engines before they stop. the depth
Of the water, must all be taken into
consideration, for the quarters are mar
row, and if she were to ram the pier
it would mean a bad smashup. But
with the skill Of long experience the
superintendent. by voice and hand. con-
trolls the great vessel perfectly, and
with tugs helping her and cables draw
ing her she glides into her resting place
as quietly and easily as tired child
slips beneath the covers at night.
Practically, from the moment when
the liner is made fast she is turned
over to the crew that never sails. Her
officers remain on duty. and their work
is as arduous and almost az incess:lnt
in port as at sea. But the law requires
that the crew of each vessel shall ~"
paid off and discharged at the end Of
every voyage. In the case of the liner
they are again signed Immediately, but
during the period while the vessel lies
in port they are not officially connected
with her, and the work which naturally
would fall to their lot is performed by
the port crew.-Earl Mayo in Leslie's
Weekly.
