 About the most difficult bit of fancy shooting in the entire business is that trick of shooting straight ahead Of you and then whirling in time to hit the empty shell as 1t is thrown behind you by the ejeetor. I can't tell you how long I practiced that stunt, nor how disappointed I was when first per- formed 1t in public.
 T was naturally a little nervous, and when I tried it and found I'd nos missed I was so elated I almost cheered myself. If I had r0ne so I would have been the only one in the place who did cheer
 I've tried it time and again, but al- ways with the same results. This idea that to do thing well is a sufficient reward may be all right, but it doesn't apply to fancy rifle shooting.

object to Negro NoIahbOr.

The aristocratic circles of Maiden,
Mass, are stirred up by the advent
of Joe Walcott, the negro light
weight pugilist. Walcott, Through
an agent, recently purchased house
adjacent to the home of Colonel
Harry Converse, one of the wealthiest
and most prominent citizens and in
close proximity to the palatial resi-
dence of E. S. Converse, the multi
millionaire rubber manufacturer and
philanthropist. Walcott paid $5, 900
for the house, stable and land and
through an agent expended $1,000
in improvements.
The neighbors looked for a swell
family to move in, and after the fur
niture had been unloaded they were
startled to see the new tenants. The
outfit consisted of the champion me-
gro .pugilist, his mulstto wife, four
pickaninies, his white mother-in-law
and a yellow dog. The dog whined
all last night and the neighbors ap-
pealed to the police.
Walcott will use the stable as his
training quarters. He had numer-
GUS colored callers to-day. The
neighbors are considering buying
him off, as he has said he would sell
out if they paid his price.

city hospital. Three years ago and fol
years before that Mrs. Avary's normal

She is literally skin and bones, but
she says she hasn't an ache or pain,
has good appetite and feels well ex,
cept for her dreadful emaoiation. She is
so thin that she can scarcely stand up
without support of some kind. Three
years ago she was i'll from premature
childbirth, and since then she has been
wasting away. The case attracts much
attention among the doctors. 1t baffled
her family physician in Lincoln and at
his suggestion she has come to Augusta

New Methodist Paper.

Greenwood, August 20.-The Metho-
dists of South Carolina are to have an
other religious weekly. Arrangements
were perfected here to-day by the Rev.
Q. W. Creighton, now living at Cokes-
bury, and other prominent men in other
parts of the State. The new paper will
be known as "The Christian Appeal" :"
and will appeal to the Methodsts of the
State as popular priced religious weekly
of high order. The paper will be is
sued from Green wood and will be printed
by the Greenwood Index. The contract
was awarded to the above plant, after
having had offers submitted from other
places. The hackers Of the enterprise
expressed themselves as being much
pleased with the equipment of the
above office, and say that they have
every confidence in its ability to get out
the sort of paper they intend to issue.
They were also greatly pleased with
Greenwood rs an ideal town for the To-
cation for the paper and hope to mako
this location permanent. The first issue
of the new paper will probably be in No
vember. 1t is stated that the move has
been in contemplation for some time and
that the work has been going on quietly,
but with much progress. There are al
ready considerably over thousand sub
scribers enrolled. The editor of the new
paper and the only man whose name is
given out so far, is regarded as one of
the best preachers in the South Carolina
Conference. In secular journalism he
would be regarded as q 'rlive wire.o His
ability is generally admitted, and with
backing that he has, the venture should
DO an assured success from the start.

Worth Knowing.

Recently a resident of Spartanburg
was arrested and tried and fined for vio-
lation of the postal laws and regulations.
The fine, which was paid, was $40. The
party violated Section Asa of these laws.
The following is the clause of the sec
ton which was violated: "Any person
who shall knowingly conceal or enclose
any matter of higher class in that of a
lower class and deposit or cause the same
to be deposited for conveyance by mail
at less rate than would be charged for
both such higher and lower class matter,
shall for every such offence be liable to
a penalty of $40" The fine was paid.
There are many people who do not know
of the existence of such law. The
offence which occasioned this fine was
the mailing of a photograph and letter
inside a wrapper of newspaper, which
bore q one cent stamp.

those of Anderson and Greenwood and

capitalists to utilize electric power
which this company proposes to develop
at these points. This will doubtless be

Hundred Year Old Alligator.

An alligator whose age is estimated to
be near hundred years was killed at
Muldrow's mill pond yesterday by Ar
thur Muldrow. The huge monster
measured over eleven feet long and
tipped the scales at 378 pounds. SO long
was he that it required yoke of oxen
to drag him from the water after being
killed. The alligator had been seen
several times during the summer, but
always managed to escape before being
killed, until yesterday when Mr.. Mul-
drow, after watching for him all night
got shot at him about ten o'clock in
the morning. 1t took several bullets
from large calibro rifle to do the work.
