Drunken Man Stabs Intendant.

BOWMAN, October 9.-P. A. NJ. Patrlck'
intendant of this town, was seriously cut
with knife by D. W. syfrett Saturday
night. It seems that Syfrett was under
the influence of liquor, and acting in a
boisterous manner at and around Mr.. ".
L. Bishops store, using profane language
Intendant Patrick, being not far, came
and demonstrated with Syfrett in regard
to his conduct and attempted to arrest
him.
syfrett Immediately drew his knife, cut
ting an ugly cash in the intendant's arm,
cutting him also in several places in the
back before assistance could be rendered
the wounded officer. The only thing that
saved the intendant's life was that the
knife used did not have a good point and
was not very sharp.
The charge is serious one against sy'
frett. The case will come up in town coun-
Gil this morning, and the magistrate has
also been notified to be present, so as to
take charge of the prisoner after action
by town council.

POSSIBLY FATAL ACCIDENT.
Caffnsy Boy Shot by His Brother Who Shot
at Chicken.


GAFFNEY, October 9-Broadus West
moreland, the eight year old son of Mr.. j.
F. Westmoreland, who lives in the west
ern part of this city, was the victim Satur'
day afternoon of very unusual and per-
haps fatal accident. Stacy Westmoreland,
larger brother of the boy was in the act
of shooting chicken with % calibre
rifle, the bullet from the gun passed
through leg of the chicken and striking
some substance on the ground, supposedly
rock, glanced and struck the little boy
who was at play some distance away.
The ball entered the chest of the little
fellow and ranged upward. Physicians

to locate the ball and extract it. The boy

whether or not he will recover is impos'
sible to say. Broadus is about eight years
of age, while Stacy is about eighteen.

Hold Your Cotton.

We have an address issued by Harvie
Jordan, president of the Cotton Growers
Association, strongly urging the farmers
to hold their cotton. We regret that the
address is too lengthy for US to publish,
as our space is limited, but farmers should
heed the warning and hold their cotton.
The address is approved of by President
Jno. W. Crum and Secretary John F.
Folk, of the Bamberg county association.
If the farmers will just stand firm, you
will soon see cotton selling for eleven
cents.

An Author and His Hymn.

Strange as it seems, often it happen!
that one who has done many deeds ot
importance is remembered by some little
thing. Thus, Robert Robinson, the Eng
lish divine, did great deal in literary
line and prepared several volumes fol
publication, but he is known chiefly
through being the author OF the hymn
"Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing
In connection with the hymn which he
wrote, an interesting anecdote is related
by Allen Sutherland in the November
Delineator:
sOne day, on one of the well-knowr
roads, lady had been for some time en-
gagged over one page of little book
which, in the course Of the journey, she
had occasionally consulted. Turning, al
length, to her companion in travel, a gen.
tleman from whose appearance she gath
cred that an appeal on such question
would not be disagreeable, she held the
open page toward him, and said, May
ask your attention to this hymn, and ask
you to favor me with your opinion of it?'
"Her companion glanced down the
page,and seeing that the hymn was Come,
Thou Fount of Every Blessing made an
attempt to excuse himself from converse.
tion on its merits; but the lady ventured
on another appeal.
"'That hymn has given me so much
pleasure, ,'she said; its sentiments so touch
me; indeed, cannot tell you how much
good it has done me. Don't you think it
very good?' :.
MADAM said the stranger, bursting
into tears, I am the poor, unhappy man
who wrote that hymn many years ago,
and I would give thousand worlds, II
had them, to enjoy the feelings l then

Stealing in Richland.

COLUMBIA, s. c., Oct. 5th.-The special
committee to examine the affairs in Rich
land county, after secret investigation
lasting three months, report shortage Of
about fifty thousand dollars. Mr.. D. W..
Robinson, chairman of committee states
that the floating debt of the county could
have been paid by the money absconded
and wasted.
There are too many charges to recount
but the principal one is that G. N. Doug
las, clerk of the county board, and q
Confederate veteran, forged approving
signatures of members of the county
board on fictitious warrants, tracing their
signatures from carbon impressions OF the
original. The committee has filed its re-
port with Governor Hayward and recon-
mends the arrest of s. 81. Owens, c. N.
Douglas, J. E. Harmon, W. B. Cooper
and J: w. Thornton. 1t is said that Har'
mon made confession and has fed the
country. The manipulation of accounts
was very skillful and the committee in be-
ginning the investigations was amazed te
see that in one year alone there were g.
700 vouchers bearing signatures will
cross marks. This led to the discovery
of fraudulent claims having been paid
The parties supposed to have signed whel
summoned denied having ever received
the money.

Dinner was little late.
A guest asked the hostess to play some

In the grim silence she turned to an old
gentleman on her right and said:

Sunday School Work

There never was so aggressive a
campaign IN Sunday School work as
now. All the churches are taking a
part in it and are seeking to reap the
benefits. In the foremost of this great
movement, side by side with the 9th
err churches, is the Sunday School de
partment of the Methodist Episcopal
church. 1t is called the Sunday
School Union, having been so chris.
tened as long ago as 1927. Strong men
have been at it's head since its reor
ganization in 1910. Prominent
among these was that matchless
worker for young people, Bishop
John H. Vincent. 1t was during this
! time that he instituted the Berean
System of lessons, which later de.
veloped into the International Sys
TEN that is now used every Sunday by
more than 100000 of Sunday school
people.

Union today is Rev. John T. McFar-
