Pupil Pulls Pistol on Principal.

Anderson. April 2.-Mr. j. F. Harper,
principal of the school at Lowndesville,
was shot twice this afternoon by one OF
the pupils, but will recover. He had no
tice that some of the larger boys were
going to absent themselves from school
yesterday on account of it's being All
FOOLS day and warned them not to do so.
The boys stayed away as they had threat
ened and this afternoon the teacher kept
them in after school to punish them. he
began on James Latimer, boy of II
years, and Latimer produced a rod of
iron from his clothing and began to re-
sist. This was taken away from him,
when he pulled Smith and Wesson pis-
tol and opened fire on the teacher. The
first shot hit a button on Mr.. Harper's
coat and the bullet and button both pene-
trated the flesh. Then second shot
was fired which struck rib, inflicting o
flesh wound. 1t was first thought that
Harper was mortally hurt, but the ply
sicians cay that his wounds are not Sc
rious. Latimer fled. Young Latimer is
son of Mr.. j. II. Latimer, a prominent
merchant of that place, and nephew of
Senator Latimer. Four or five boys of
about the same age wore implicated in
the affair

An Open Letter 10 J. A. Cook.

Riohland, April 8.--Editors Courier
Once upon time q neighbor of mine
was sick, very sick. The doctor pre-
scribed large dose of ipecac in o glass
of water, to be taken spoonful every
half hour. 1t kept him nauseated; his
patience. became threadbare. He said
he was tired of such foolishness, and II
there was any virtue in it he would take
it all at once and be done with it,
which he did. The consequence was, he
vomite everything that was in him that
was net fastened. He soon got better.
You have been giving "the boys" a
spoonful long enough. Give it all to
them at once. They may feel better
after it; the taxpayers no worse, perhaps.

pert accountants. All right, just so they
have not been partakers of Cooks hog"

Tag Tax Increase.

The receipts of privilege tax are not
coming in as heavily as was the case a
few weeks ago, for the reason that the
planting season is nearing close. But
the receipts up to the first day of April
were SOC, 0,069.S0 against $65, ,140.66 for the
same time last year. The tax for this
year very probably will exceed 100000,
for in the fall months there is somewhat
of a demand for fertilizers, over $1,000
having been received from the tag tax In
the months of October and November of
last year. If there should be as much as
100000 received from this source it
would mean that the quantity of com
mercial fertilizers sold in South Carolina
during the year would reach the enor-
nous amount of 400, 600 tons. The State,

A neighborhood not far from here,
Put in telephones last year;
Farmers built a rural line,
Instruments all talked up fine,
All you had to do was ring,
Every bell went ting-a-ling,
One for Swanson, two for Boggs,
Long and short for Mr.. Scroggs,
Every neighbor had his call;
Twist the crank and that was all.
Mighty nice when wo k was thru
To gossip for an hour or two
With your neighbors, one by one;
Mighty nice, but lots of fun
To Overhear some other two
Telling what was not for you.
Every time the signal rang
To the phone zach farmer sprang,
Slyly grinned and S fly took
The receiver from the hook;
Other peoples secrets dear
Poured into his large red ear;
Slapped his leg and said, 81 swum
Telephoning's lots of fun"
Somehow in a week or two
Troubles da k began 10 brew.
Farmer Jones got fighting hot;
Heard Scroggs calling him "A sot.
Farmer Scrolgs grew angry too,
Heard Smith telling what he knew;
Smith heard Johnson telling lies,
Paid him off with two black eyes.

Underbid him on his hogs;

Making love to his best girl.
Women too were in the muss.
