Veteran OF Seminole War.

A few days ago there appeared In the
newspapers a statement to tho effect
that Thomas B. Howard, of Houston,
Texas, 83 years of age, had been granted
a pension by the Washington Office and
that he is probably the only survivor of
the Seminole war of 1895.
This is n mistake and sounds like il
might have come from Georgia, for Mr..
Elbert III. Dagnall, grandfather of the
popular attorney of this city, is In his
93d year, having been born In Edgefiold
district in 1911 and went to the s minole
Indian war in 1885. He won't from An
gnsta in Capt. Bones company asa vol

great sufferer from rheumatism, but
otherwise he is in fairly good health and
is active for a man of his age His mind
Is clear and he loves to talk of tho good
old days of long ago. For years he has
mado his home with his son, Rev. II. r.
Dagnall, of the South Carolina Confer
ence, and is now living at Fountain Inn,
s. g., where the Rev. Mr.. Dagnal is
stationed. The past two years he lived
with his son at Iva, this county. He has

Terrible Ride of Wild Train.

Columbia, July 15.-A freight
train composed of an engine and
seventeen cars was wrecked yester.
day near Saluda, on the Asheville
and Spartanburg division of the
Southern railway.
As the engineer proceeded down
the steep Mclrose grade he endeav-
ored to slow up, before reaching Sa-
luda, for orders. Finding the air
brakes would not work, the engineer
and crew jumped from the train just
in time to save their lives.
The ungovernable train, composed
OF coal cars, swept down the track
at fearful rate Of speed, and a short
distance before reaching the trestle
over the Pacolet river, at sharp
curve in the track, the locomotive
jumped off at right angle, carry
ing with it thirteen cars, all of which
were completely demolished.

Stays His Son.in.Law.

John Terrell, wealthy farmer
living near Petroleum, Indiana, killed
his law, Melvin Wolfe, last
week, firing both barrels of shotgun
into his head as Wolfe lay on a doc
tors operating table to have a leg
amputated, necessitated by wound
from Terrell's gun a short time
before, Wolfe deserted the girl, it is
said, leaving her with young child.
A suit was brought to compel him to
support his wife. 1t is claimed
Wolfe had twice driven by the Ter
rell home, shouting insulting remarks
and shaking his fist at Terrell. The
third time he drove by Terrell jumped
from some bushes along the road
side and fired at his son-in-law with
a double barreled shotgun. The
first charge shattered Wolfe's right
leg. The second barrel missed.
Wolfe was hurried to the doctors
Office at Petroleum and placed on an
operating table to have the leg am
putated. While a crowd stood out
side watching the doctor, Terrell
came up from his home in a buggy,
broke in the doors of the doctors
Office, drove out the crowd at the
point of his gun and with the re-
mark, "I am after him, and l am
going to get him YET" fired both
barrels into his son-in-law's head.
He was terribly mutilated. At the
time he first came the young man
was only half conscious. Terrell got
in his buggy, loaded up his shot gun
and pointed it at the mob that had
hastily formed, held it at bay and
drove to the sheriff's residence,
where he surrendered

Boil WeeviIs are Killed by Bugs.

The spread Of the boil wcevil
through the cotton fields of Texas
has become matter of deep concern
to the planters and to the cotton
interests of the country. The weevil
made its way from Mexico into Texas
several years ago and its ravages last
year resulted in the loss of an i'm
mense amount of cotton. The
scientists Of the government have
been unable to find any remedy for
the wecvil, but where they have
failed the forces of nature have
succeeded. 1t is said that small
green bug has made its appearance in
the Texas cotton field, and the COM
ing of this bug has been followed by
the departure of the weevil. The
bug does not attack the cotton plant,
but subsists entirely on the boil
weevil, and it appears to have a
healthy appetite, clearing field of
the weevil in very short time.
Where the bug came from no one
seems to know and this point is i'm
material. Since it has begun bust
ness the government can give its
special crops of entomologists a
vacation. The little green bug
promises to solve the weevil question
in thoroughly practical manner
and at no expense to the country.

Surgery for Consumption.

The knife as cure for tuberculosis is
as rare as it is heroic, and yet at the
city hospital in Macon, Ca, DR.. Elder,
the surgeon in charge, severed q mans
leg while dozen of the leading physi-
clans of the city looked on. The ampu-
tation was considered necessary in order
to save the life of Columbus Jackson, a
resident of Huguenin Heights, that city.
Eighteen months ago pimple, at first
barely perceptible, showed itself on the
calf of Jackson's left leg. Itsoon began
to spread, and in short time the entire
limb from the knee down became in
volved. Ono physician of prominence
after another pronounced the disease
tuberculosis of the skin. Gradually the
skin and flesh began drying up and dis
appearing by a sloughing process. At
one stage of the disease leprosy was ap-
pretended and one of the physicians at
Savannah, who had examined the isolated
leper near that city, was sent for. He
detected some points of similarity in the
diseased member here and the patient at
Savannah, but after an exhaustive dag
nosis of the case repudiated tho leprosy
theory. tuberculosis was the consensus
of opinion and as the ideas could not be
controlled the physicians concurrcd in
declaring amputation necessary to save
Jackson's life. The operation was sue
cessfully performed, the severance being
above the knee and far removed from
any portion of the diseased member.
The case is one almost absolutely new to
the surgeons and physicians here and
has excited general and pronounced in
terest. DR.. Elder will make an effort to
preserve the diseased limb in order that
he may give it a more thorough study.

Gonzales Memorial.

The following resolutions were
presented and adopted at the session
Of the State Press Association at
White Stone Springs the evening be-
fore adjournment:
Your committee on the death of
Mr.. N. G. Gonzales would offer the
following as its report:
Ia view of the sudden and lament
.ble death of our brother journalist,
Mr.. Narcisso Gener Gonzales, on,
January 10, 1908, let us add tribute
to his work and his memory. In him
we recognize a man of the highest
type. He was man of true prin-
ciple. He hated the low and mean
with an extreme hatred. He ex-
acted from his fellowmen, especially
those in public position, the same ir-
reproaohable conduct he required
from himself. He was man of de-
cided conviction. He thought clearly
and logically and always knew what
he believed. II he made mistakes at
times in the application of principles
to conditions and actions of others,
80 that he was judged to be unfair
and even unjust, yet his positiveness
and firmness in convictions, as to
what he thought would be right,
won for him the respect of those
who did not agree with him. He
was an independent thinker, and
often advocated movements and
policies in advance of those above
him, which of course, meant frequent
difference of opinion and opposition
to his views. He was careful and
accurate man, and yet his was a
quick and penetrating mind. His
position was always positive and
clearly defined. These qualities won
for him success and eminence as a
journalist. He was the founder of
the Columbia State in 1901 and
soon made it one of the best news
papers in the whole South. His SER
vices to Columbia, South Carolina
and to the South cannot now be
measured. He was o patriot of the
trucst type, and worthy public
servant. In him we have lost ono
of the most brilliant and successful
editors of the new South, and this
association has lost an active, eff
cient and loyal member. Let us
emulate his virtues.

Georgia Negro Lynchod.

Eastman, Ga, July 14.-Ed Claus,
the negro who assaulted Miss John
son, near Darien Junction, several
days ago, was lynched in the
Southern part of the county to-day
by mob of fifty men who have fol-
lowed him for days through the
swamps of the Altamaha and the
Ocmulgee, chasing him through
seven counties.
The negro was captured after his
long chase early this morning. The
mob came upon him while asleep in
swamp. He was told of the fate
in store for him and given only a
short time to prepare for death.
The negro declared his innocence,
but he was well known to members
of the posse, and to Miss johnson,
who stated positively that he was
the criminal. He began to beg for
his life, but his prayers for mercy
fell on deaf ears.
lie was swung from the limb of a
tree by rope which a member of
the posse has been carrying ever
since the search began last Friday.
After he was suspended members of
the mob opened fire with pistols and
Winchesters, and the negro's body
was riddled with bullets. What re-
mained of it was left hanging to the
limb while the members of the posse
began their homeward journeys.
So close did they chase the negro
that he had no time to get ither
food or drink and was almost dead
when the mob caught him.

cntlna Pea Vines.

There seems 20 be to my mind q |
mistaken idea as to the proper time
for cutting pea vines. Most writer's
on the subject advocate cutting when
the pea is in full bloom. This is no
doubt the time at which the vines
would make the most palatable and
tender hay, provided one had such a
quantity as he could cure under shell
ter; but it is next to impossible t.
cure a large quantity of pea vines
cut at this stage unless we have an
unusually fine spell of weather, and
this we can never bank on in August.
My experiences teach me that it is
best to wait until the pods begin to
ripen before cutting the vines, when
they will cure much more easily and
rapidly. The hay will not be alto
gether so tender and juicy as when
cut little earlier, but think il has
not lost anything in nutritious value.
Highly fed milch COWS will not eat it
quite 30 greedily, but mules will eat
it just as well, and will~do better on
it than when cut before the peas are
on.
The "Unknown" pea sown this
month, will he ready for cutting in
September, when we can reasonably y
count on fair weather for most of the
time. Cut in the forenoon after the
dew is off, and rake up and cock in
the afternoon. No kind of forage
should have more sun than is abso-
lutely necessary for saving it. Make
the peavines at first into small high
cocks, and in three or four days into
larger ones by putting four or five of
the smaller into one. In this shape
they oan remain until ready for put
ting in the barn.
have hew method of sowing peas
this summer which l think | will like.
| plow the peas in with a square
pointed scooter, and harrow smooth
with the tooth harrow. / like this
better than breaking land with u turn
plow and narrowing peas again. An
other reason which was not consid-
cred in what was previously said, is
this: | always sow the peas myself,
and in this way can walk on the un-
plowed ground in sowing the seed,
while in the former you have to foot
it over the fresh plowed land.

Silent Prayer for Methodists.

Asbury Park, N. j., July 1.-THE
joint commission of tho Methodist Epis-
copal churches, North and South, has
completed it's ritual revision labors in
Ocean Grove. The new order of wor-
ship adopted lays special stress upon
reverent worship and provides for keel
ing in silent prayer on entering church.
There are extensive changes in the
catechism. In future primary and a
standard catechism, almost now, will be
used in place of the three now in use.
Bishop s. M. Merrill, of Chicago, in an
interview, said: "The utmost harmony
has prevailed and the Methodist Episco-
pal churches, North and South, are
closer to. day than they have been since
they separated in the days of slavery"
The order of worship is practically
the same as now used In the church
North.

VIII Demoralize Rural Delivery System.

A jackson, Miss, dispatch says: Unless
a modification is secured, the recent
order of Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Bristow regarding rural free
delivery will mean the abandonment of
practically all the routes that have been
established in Mississippi. The ruling
is to tho effect chat no route shall be con-
tinued unless 100 families are served and
5000 pieces of mail matter handled
monthly. 1t is estimated that so per
cent of the routes established in Missis-
sippi are unable to come within this
requirement. Many of Them serve 100
families, but do not deliver 5000 pieces
monthly. The three routes from Jack
son, for instance, handled about 1900
pieces of mail matter each during the
first month Of their existence. 1t is
probable that several petitions will be
forwarded to Washington asking for a
modification of the order.

The statements hereunto appended are
not offancy bred, nor arc they creatures
of a diseased imagination, On the other
hand, they are facts, hard and true, aud
every planter and inhsbitant of Beech
Island, s. O., just across the Sayannah
river from Augusta, will vouch for the
accuracy and ssuth of the story.
The hero. II hero he be, is known far
and wide In the locality whore he dwells,
and great many citizens of this oity
know him both personally and by repu-
tation. The writer takes pleasure in re-
specifically referring the matter to those
two gentlemen, the President of the
United States and the President of Yale
Uniyersity-the having been credited
with the loss of some sleep on account
OF the dying out Of the human race.
The facts, briefly, are these:
An individual of Afro. American ex-
traction, who works on the plantation of
Mr.. Hammond, in Beech Island, and
who is now nearing 90 years of age, has
during his life become the father of 48
legitimate children, the great majority
of whom are alive and great number
of whom have followed in the footateps
of their illustrious father and have I'm
mensely large families.
1t ought to be explained right here
that the progenitiye person about whom
this story is written has been married
some half dozen times, more or less, and
that 46 are about equally divided among
the wives.
A Beech Island citizen of an investi-
eating turn of mind has recently made
an attempt to ascertain tho exact num-
Der of grandchildren and great grand
children of the eminent race multiplier,
md after running down more than 800
ceased his labors, having satisfied him
self that the Beech Island negro had
laid all other persons in the shade who
dwell in the lands where polygamy is
forbidden.
The name of the hero and friend of
civilization is Alexander Lark, and his
children range in age from seventy years
to six months-in fact, his two youngest
children are twins and have not yet
learned to toddle. In the family are
several other pairs of twins. The in
fants six months old have nephews and
neices who are 45 and so years old.-Au-
