The rains in this county this week have

greatly damaged. Cotton is getting in
bad condition on account of rain and
grass, and labor is very scarce. It seems
that Providence is taking hand in the

Real Roosevelt St0rk Club.

LAPoRTE, IND, May 9.-The frequency
with which the stork visited homes Of
members of supposed social club at
Wanatah, this county, has caused public
confession to be made that the organiza-
ton was planned and perfected to carry
out President Roosevelt's ideas on race
suicide.
The society adopted stork as its en-
blem and to-day letter was address,
ed to President Roosevelt, asking that he
suggest motto for the club, whose every
tenet is opposed to race suicide.
The character of the club was brought
to light by the phenomenal number OF
births that are reported in the ranks OF
the membership. Thetown of 8OOpeople
began to gossip over the remarkable juve-
nile growth and then the officers decided
to lift the veil of secrecy and to make the
public conversant with the purpose OF
the club. There is now nearly score OF
happy mothers in the village and the
stork has not ceased his visits.-Philadel-

Land Of Twins and Triplets.

Scotland is the land of twins and trip
lets, holding long lead over her sister
countries in this matter. In 10 months
no fewer than 1926 mothers gave birth tc
twins and twenty-five presented triplets
Scotland is among the few countries Of
Europe where the proportion of male
babies is greater than of females. Strik'
ing an average, it is found that there are
about 104 males to every 100 females, but
the surplus of grown-up girls is neverthe-
less large, as so many men travel South
and apparently neglect to take the pre-
caution to obtain return tickets to the
Land of Cakes. There is yet another in
teresting fact about Scotland. 1t is the
land of hale old age. Recent returns
show that during one year 673 people
died between the ages Of ninety and one
hundred.

One Negro Kills Another.

ANDERSON, May 1s-Coroner Pruitt
was called to the plantation of Mr.. j. q.
Bowden yesterday to hold an inquest
over the body of Bud Watson, young
his companion, Alonzo Thomas. The
circumstances attending the shooting
were rather unusual. The two boys were
playing, one with pistol and the other
with a knife. A discussion arose as to the
relative merits of the weapons as instru-
ments of destruction. A playful bout en-
sued, which became too realistic: Watson
was shot in the abdomen, the ball passing
through his body and lodging in the
spinal column. The ball could not be
located and Watson fingered few days
and died.
Thomas will be tried for murder at the
term of court here next week.

Plans a Skyscraper Church.

CLEVELAND, O., May 15.-Plans for a
skyscraper church will be submitted to
the members of the Euclid avenue Bap.
tist church by the Rev. Charles T. Eaton
on Sunday, June 4. AS planned, the
church will be twelve stories high. The
first floor will contain reading rooms,
libraries and rest rooms and it will be
open to every one who has no home.
The main idea of DR.. Eaton will be to
establish home, rather than clubhouse.
The ssskyscraper church. is to be devoted
to the amelioration of downtown social
conditions. On the upper floors it is pro-
posed to have rooms for games OF all
kinds. 1t is argued that these will attract
the street urchin from the slums to a
cleaner life. The other floors will contain
sleeping apartments and dining rooms.
The church auditorium will be on the
second and third floors and will be ap-
preached by grand staircase. DR.. Eaton
said today:
"If my congregation approves of the
plan, the church will surpass any struct-
ure of it's kind in the world. Among
churches it will be unique, for it will be
the outgrowth of our own experience.
Continually we are turning hundreds OF
people from our doors"
When asked if John D. Rockefeller
would assist in the project, DR.. Eaton re-
piled that Rockefeller had always been
the most liberal donor of the church and
would give his aid.

What Onions Will Do.

ATexas physician says 1.-THE eating OF
raw onions has been known to leave con.
sumptives plump and rosy. 1t cures dys-
pepsia and is thorough worm medicine
for children. It will do much to refine
the complexion, renew the hair and re-
move spots as any one article known.
There need be no hesitation in eating
onions freely, since the use of tooth
brush and dose of charcoal or the chew
ing of some roasted coffee or corn will
remove the odor."
He further says that an onion is an al
teratiye and tonic and that it's nourish-
ing properties are more than double those
of potato.

AILLARD FREE FROM BlGAMY CHARGE.
MAGISTRATE Holds That Evidence Was insufficient
States That He and Miss Kenyon Will Marry
in December.

ORANGEBURG, May 13.-Dr. Kenyon V.
Millard, who was arrested April 21st on
the charge of bigamy and who has since
been confined in the county Jail, was dis
charged from custody today.
1t will be remembered that DR.. Millard,
who claims Indianapolis, Ind, as his
home, and Miss Sallie Kenyon of St.
George came here on April 10Th and were
married by Rev. E. NJ. Lightfoot, the
Baptist minister. The next day there was
published an account of the engagement
of DR.. Millard and Miss Kenyon, and
stated that Mr.. Rankin, of St. George, had
declined to marry the couple because DR..
Millard was married man.
Rev. Mr.. Lightfoot, who married the
couple, did so thinking DR.. Millard had
never before been married, and when
questioned on the subject afterwards by
Mr.. Lightfoot, DR.. Millard told different
accounts each time as to his former mar.
riages. This, together with the fact that
Mrs. Kenyon, mother of the bride, found
letter from his California wife intimat-
ing that DR.. Millard had still another
wife, caused his arrest for bigamy.
Magistrate Brunson held the prelimi-
nary on Thursday of last week, took the
matter under advisement, and as result
today dismissed the case and discharged
the defendant from custody on the ground
that the prosecution did not have case
strong enough to warrant binding DR..
Millard over for the criminal court.
It was shown at the preliminary that
DR.. Millard was divorced from wife No. 1
years ago and that an interlocutory di-
vorce was granted the California wife in
December, 1904, which prevented either
party marrying for one year.
DR.. Millard states he and Miss Kenyon
will be remarked next December, at the
expiration of the time set in the interlo-
cutory divorce. In the meanwhile he
expects to continue on the lecture plat
form, and is arranging to appear here
next Monday night.

opened conversation, as follows:
"Good morning, Mr.. Oates. l see you

"Oh, well enough" was the innocent
reply. "You see, I don't need 'em, for
I'm in the fields all day myself"

Nothing adds so much to the happiness

while Katie Smith and her daughter, Lu-

about eight miles from Bishopville, were
playing with a shotgun, it went of and
it's contents lodged in the foot of Lucilla.

han, and held an inquest over the dead
body. The facts as developed at the in
quest arc as follows:
Last Saturday the two women were
playing with gun. One was playing the
part of a man under the influence OF
whiskey and trying to kill his wife with
a gun. Tho other woman was on the de-
fensive. In the scufae the gun was dis
charged and Lucilla Smith, the daughter
received the load in one foot. Her foot
had to be amputated and yesterday about
12 o'clock she died from the effect OF hel
wound. It is not known yet whether one
or both of the women were really intoxi'
Gated, or whether or not there was any
malice existing between them, As they
we're mother and child, the opinion seems
to be that the shooting was an accident
However, the coroner's jury did not take
that view of the situation, evidently be-
lieving that Katie Smith was careless in
handling the gun, and rendered verdict
that Lucilla Smith came to her death
from shotgun wound in the hands OF
her mother, Katie Smith.
Coroner Brown ordered the woman ar.
rested by Deputy Sheriff Mooneyhan and
she is now confined in the Jail of Lee
