The amusement of the gang did
not confine itself to the picnic
grounds. They went outside, broke
into orchards and flower gardens, des
troying valuable property, and finally
wound up by shooting a valuable
horse belonging to a rancher.
This last act was more than the
sheriff OF San Marco could stand. and
he bagged a couple Of dozen Of the
offenders. When the case came ur
before the justice of the peace in Red
wood each of the accused laid the
blame on Hood Lummix. Simple
minded Hood got six months in jail
In sentencing him the justice, who
was very much displeased that he
could. not send the entire gang to
state prison, delivered lecture to the
Offenders, in which he said:
II now warn you to keep out of this
country; we want no more of Hood
Lummix or his gang to visit u.s."
The word was thus coined for com.
mon use-New York Herald.

More Than a Match for Him.

More Than Match for Him.
A country youth in London got into
conversation with a seedy looking man
in restaurant, and during the chat he
let drop the remark that he would not
mind giving half a crown to see a real
London sharper.
well, keep it dark" said the other,
but don't mind telling you that I am
one"
If that's so, returned the pumpkin,
"then l. suppose I'll haze to gle thee
'arf-croWn." This he did with the re-
mark, "But let's ha' some O. thee
tales"
Accordingly the supposed sharper
related several good yarns, and the
other, being much pleased, said:
well, thee must be a real London
sharper. Just thee gle me that 'arf:
crown back; I'll gle thee five shill-
ings"
Without hesitation the bogus sharp
er returned the half-crown, holding out
his hand for the promised five shill-
1ngs, whereupon, to his establishment,
the pumpkin rose, pocketed the half
crown and made off with the remark:
"Thee's no sharper, or thee'd ha'
kept that 'arf-crown when thee 'ad it,"

sIav.r Of punovant Acquitted.

The story Of the killing Of Captain
William Dunovant by W. T. Eldridge
some time ago was published IN THE
ENQUIRER at the time. It will also be
remembered that a few months back
there appeared in THE ENQUIRER full
recital Of the circumstances Of the Ell
bridge -Dunovant feud, together with
detailed account Of efforts OF friends
Of Dunovant to kill Eldridge. AL
though these events occurred in South
Texas, they are Of especial interest In
this locality for the reason that Capt.
Dunovant was a Chester county man
and leaves many relatives and friends
both in York and Chester. The fol-
lowing dispatch Of last Wednesday,
from Fort Worth, Tex, gives the lat
est chapter of the tragedy: ."Ex-Vice

Eldridge of the Cane Belt railway was

trial lasted ten days. Every man who
entered the court was searched for

Clinton special or Nov. "a, to Co.
lumbia State: At o'clock this after
noon the Thornweli orphanage semi
nary building caught fire in the roof
from a defective flue and was burned
to the ground. Workmen had just
finished testing new furnace and
the building had been closed for the
day. The fire was discovered early,
but as the town has not yet put in its
waterworks the efforts to put out the
flames were Of no avail. The fire soon
reached an IS foot tower which became
a huge pillar of flames. Efforts were
then diverted to the protection of the
Mccormick, a dormitory building on
the orphanage campus and the recita-
tion. half of the Presbyterian college,
both of which were threatened. Both
were adequately protected.

News and Courier: Cherokee county
Is in the after stages in regard to
whisky. The dispensaries have been
closed and the. people are becoming
accustomed to the new order OF
things. Gaffney had a carnival here
last week and on Saturday there was
a large crowd in town and everybody
went to the pike" With all these
people in town 1t was the soberest
Saturday Gaffney has had In many q
day. Late In the afternoon there were
a few who had. been to Spartanburg
who were drunk and disorderly. 1t
was a subject Of comment that there
were so few drunk. Another encour-
aging fact was that the farmers were
not patronizing the skin games along
with the carnival. 1t was estimated
that the carnival would have taken at
least one thousand dollars more frorn
Cherokee IL the dispensary had been
in operation. There are a few WHO
would evade the law and sell whisky,
but Gaffney has a ayor and council
who are made of tn! proper material
and a police force to be proud Of.
Already the good roads" ranks have
been recuperated from the tigers"
and those who would go to Spartan

Is being enforced against transporting

stage prohibition is far better than the
