Jensen in Chicago she has been kept

authorities for fear that she might be
stolen from then, in which event they
would have been powerless to act
against the kidnapers until power of
authority had been obtained from her
parents. For two years, at the
solicitation of the parents of the child,
the Danish government has been en-
ploying every means for her recovery.

THE COMBINATION HORSE,
How to Train and Cure For II Colt
That LIS Natural Gated.

HOW to Train and Care For n Colt
That LIS Natural Gated.
The natural gated or so called com
binatlon horse is from fifteen to sixteen
hands high, being naturally strong in
general conformation and standing
straight OH his medium sized feet. with
his legs well under his body. His round,
hatlike toes point straight forward. so
as to insure an easy gait. The fox trot.
single foot and running walk are the
most desirable gaits, although a few
persons like the cantcr, slow pace or
trot. The latter gait, however, is con-
gldered best for harness Use unless a
higher rate of speed is desired, says II.
&c. Buck In Farm and Ranch.
The pace is the foundation gait of the
saddle horse. a colt that PAGES when
1t is foaled has brighter prospects than
any other animal of his kind. When
the colt Is n week old he should be led
by a halter and the process repeated
each week until lie is wcancd at the
6 of six months. The colt should
then be bridlcd. When about eighteen
months old he may be saddlcd. This
gauges his disposition. and he NAV soon
be ridden by n small boy from two to
Tour miles every other day. Having
gone his several gaits under n saddle,
1t Is time to harness and induce him to
pull n cart. Deal gently with the colt.
DO not encourage the use of whip or
spur unless he is i'll tempered. In such
an event study the disposition of YOUR
charge, conquer him by tirmncss and
nSn a whin II t,n,ncSor. IL a., ,..,.
however, to abandon the whip thar ap-
ply 1t in anger. BE humane.
The combination horse should bring
from 500 to $3.50 as Il t~wo-ycar-old
and at that & can he used for n
Kind of light work. His name and tail
should be long and thick. Such Il
growth Is possible by washing the
name and tail about twice Il month
with CASTLE soar and water, while it
Is also advisable to grease with lard
about once a month. Every farmer
should OWN Il combination horse both
from the standpoint Of business and
pleasure. Such an animal NAV be
driven to n vehicle or saddled without
interfering with his natural gait or
sacrificing speed. 1t Is to
keep II well bred combination horse
In preference to one buggy horse and
another for saddle use. During the
past ten years / have exhibited and
won premiums with combination
horses Mt almost every fair in Texas.
Reno Clipper, 2:17h, at the head of
my stable at Mckinney, Tex, has won
thirty-cight premiums, while his colts
have taken sixty-ive premiums. Sew
entecn sales of his colts average over
$242.33 per head.

Some Recent Occurances.

Last week the State of South Caro-
lima was disgraced by a more than or
binary number OF homicides. In Barn
we'll q reputable citizen was compelled
to kill a negro desperate in self-de-
fence. In Conway q policeman killed a
leading citizen who inferred with Che
arrest of a negro. In Rock Hill q po-
l!csman shot to death a turbulent
white man who resisted arrest. In
Beaufort a negro stabbed a negress to
the heart. In Saluda q young mer-
chant vas slaughtered by a prominent
farmer, his wife's uncle. The mer-
chants brother was probably fatally
shot.
Some weeks ago a Saluda farmer
was shot from ambush by a white man.
In Kerehaw about the let of April q
farmer shot another dead in his tracks
after that other had laid aside his pis-
toll and challenged his assailant to
fight it out with fists.
II Will be noted that whiskey had lit
tie TO do with most of these killings. Ii
VIII be noted further that In most OF
them ,smeaking cowarding was a factor.
The killings belied the boosted cour.
age OF South Caroliniaus.
The lesson from them is that your
life and my life are not safe. Nor will
they be safe until South Caro- ina ju.
ries find the courage In their hearts to
make murder q crime.

All day we followed the trail that

by coulecs through which ran swift,
blue gray rivers, clear ana ley cold,

glimpses OF little lakes covered with
wild FOWL that sliriekcd and sQuawked

n then we saw what made q black
spot against the green of the prairie,
ana Jack told me 1t was q rancher's
shack. How remote from the great
world, and how lonely 1t seemed-this
little black shack among these multi
tudlnous hills!

once more got into position. But nc
sooner had l got into the saddle than
the pony sDrang straight up into the
air and lit with his back curved into u
bow, his four legs gathered together
and so absolutely rigid that the shock
made my teeth rattle. 1t vas my first
experience of "bucking." Then the lit
tie brute went seriously to work to get
rid OF the rustling, Tapping thing on
his back. He would back steadily for
some seconds, then, with two or three
forward p%lunges, he would stop as If
shot and spring straight into the upper
air, lighting with back curved and legs
rigid as iron. Then he would walk on
his hind legs for a few steps, Their
throw himself with amazing rapidity
to one side and again proceed to buck
with vicious diligence.
"Stlck to him!' yelled Jack through
shouts of laughter. You'll make him
sick before long!"
l remember thinking that unless his
insides were somewhat more delicately
organized than his external appearance
would lead one to suppose the chances
were that the little brute would be the
last to succumb to sickness. To make
matters worse, n wilder jump than
ordinary threw my cape up over my
head, so that L was in complete dark
ness. And now he had me at his mercy,
and he knew no pity. He kicked and
plunged and reared and bucked, now
on his front legs, now on his hind legs,
often on his knees, while I in darkness
could only cling to the horn Of the sad
die.
At last, in one of the CLEANS Of light
that penetrated the folds of my envel-
oping cape, / found that the horn had
slipped to his side, so the next time he
came to his knees L threw myself off.
I am anxious to make this point clear,
for from the expression Of triumph on
the face Of the grinning boy and his
encomiums of the pony l gathered that
he scored a win for the cayuse. With
out pause that little brute continued
for some second to buck 0nd plunge
even after my d~ismounting as If he
were some piece Of mechanism that
must run down before 1t could stop.

Here's n Good Candidate.

Ii the State Democratic Convention
should elect Mayor r. G. Rhett of
Charleston, a delegate at large to the
st. Louis Convention, the State would
have a man there whose character and
attachments would do it marked credit.
Mr.. Goodwin Rheit is a man of the
highest intel igence and scholarship.
He Is a successful business man, a good
speaker a, d., though not now practic-
Ing law, is a trained lawyer.
1t makes some difference whether the
State Democracy chooses as repre-
sentatives muttoa-headed good fellows
or strong, vigorous men whose per-
sonalities count in great national bod.
les. The habit has been forming to
choose the soft and over-ripe kind Of
amiable nonentittes and the time has
come when South Carolina ought to
have a man mot always q freak man)
at the front.
Mr.. Rhett has claims on Laurens.
He is a director in one of our banks
and Is helping to build one of the great
cotton mills on the borders Of Laurens
County, at the head of which is a Lau-
rens man.. He is helping to develop
Laurens, city and county. He is the
kind of friend which a town and county
like Laurens have a use for.
When u man OF Goodwin Rhett's
mental and moral stature offers to re-
present his state in q national conven-
tlon, the people should welcome him
gladly.

The Banks.

The banking facilities OF Laurens are
equal to that OF any other own of its
size in the State, and yet the deposits
and business done is less than that done
In some other towns of its class. This
is not because the county is poorer,
for the people of Laurens County are
more prosperous than the average; but
because u rural population, who a
use the banks to the best advantage,
fail to appreciate that advantage. The
man who holds q certificate Of stock in
a bank can carry his "indorser in his
pocket" and the capital so invested is
making the owner money while he
sleeps.
No conservative business man, be he
merchant or farmer, needs all his
money in his business all the time, and
every hnstling business MAJ has to
borrow some money 90 and then,
otherwise he is bound 10 have some
idle capital on his h6nds, and the most
desirable collateral is good bank stock.
We have banks enough in this town,
but why no. increase their capital
stock and get every man in the county
to take at least one share, and show to
him that the, bauk is a safe place to
keep his money as we'll as q good place
from which to borrow when he needs
it..
Doa't think because the deposit is
small the banks do not wish to take
care OF it for you. Five dollar accounts,
when the money is left in bank for two
or three months, are more attractive
than larger ones, where it Is almost
Immediately checked out.
Only a lite while ago THE ADvER-
TISER printed a sorry where an cd ne
gro woman, who lives in sight of this
Office, had so in bills burned up in
her clothes, and only a few weeks have
passed since a house was burned in
Laurens, snd a trunk containing over
$l0o was entirely consumed. Had this
money been in bank it would not have
been lost.
There is no risk in depositing your
money in a home bank. There hss not
bsen u loss to a depositor in South
Carolina since tn days of 'wild C At"
