Breeches or No Breeches.

Representative Brownlow, of Tennes-
zee, tells this good one:
"There lived in one of my counties an
Irish woman named Flynn, who was a
regular cyclone when it came to fighting,
and I believe she could whip den OF
wildcats. One day the sheriff called at
her home to collect her taxes, long over
due, Mrs. Flynn could not only fight but
she could put up all kinds of excuses for
non-payment of claims. She and the
sheriff had a set-to and the old lady used
some very strong language. The sheriff
told her that if she only wore breeches
he would give her sound fogging. Mr..
Flynn was working in the truck patch
and going to the door she yelled out:
"sLarry, come in here, ye devil ye, and
c;mme yer breeches. I'll show the baste
that I can lick him even with breeches
on,
Larry knew that it meant trouble for
him if he refused, and so he started for
the shack, unbuttoning his garment as be
walked along. The sheriff saw that he
was in for it, and made a hasty retreat
The taxes were not collected on that
trip"

The Mysteries Of Science.

A Bostonian was praising the other day
the astronomical and literary work of Per-
cival Lowell.
Before the last eclipse" he said smil-
ing, "Mr. Lowell observed to an old
colored man whom he liked:
"Gecrge, if you'll watch the chickens
out at your place tomorrow morning at
II o'clock you'll see them 60 to roost.' ,
aHi, hi!' George laughed. Hi, hl
OATS good joke!'
"He thought, you see, that MIR. Lowell
was fooling him. But when, at11 O'Clock
the next morning, the sun darkened and
the chickens did 60 to roost, George was
amazed and somewhat horriied. he
sought Mr.. Lowell out and said:
"sWot you done told me wuz true, sah'
Nah chickens went to roost, sab, just like
you said dey would
asYes, George, suppose they did, the
astronomer returned:
"sHow long, sab, did your know bout
dis 2 said George.
"Oh, long time.
"sDid you know dey would go to roost
a year sgo?''
"Well, dat beats all y said George IN
ma awed voice. Dem chickens Wuzn''
hatched a year ago."

DR.. S. n. TlNDAL DEAD.
He Was a Prominent and Beloved Physician
of Denmark and Veteran OF
Hart's Battery.

DENMARK, April 29.-Dr. G. q. Tindal
a practicing physician in this community
for nearly half century, died very sud
denly at his home here yesterday. His
funeral was largely attended, and never
before has your correspondent witnessed
such universal grief and genuine love TO,
the departed as that exhibited by the con
course of people at the funeral to-day. DR.
J. A. Clifton, of Orangeburg, assisted by
the Rev. E. 81. Beckham, pastor of the
Methodist Church, of Denmark, per
formed the sad ceremony. DR.. Clifton
who was the pastor of DR.. Tindal many
years ago, bore beautiful testimony of his
honest life, and broad liberal views he
advanced on all topics worthy of the at
tention of a public spirited man.
DR.. Tindal was born in 1881 and mar
ried Miss Lettie Redford, of Sumter, in
1868. His wife, one daughter, Mrs. WI
Califf, of this place; one son, James r
Tindal, of Birmingham, Ala; and eight
grandchildren survive him.
BE graduated at the Charleston Medical
College in 1861 and at his first opportuni'
ty Joined the famous Harris battery, the
leader of which has just recently died
Some of his old command have since
Joined him. DR.. Tindall possessed a re-
markable memory. He was a master OF
details and could narrate with as much
accuracy the happenings of fifty years
ago as he could the incidents of the pres
ent hour. The Doctor was true Chris
tian and possibly next to this beautiful
characteristic stands his open hand OF
charity. The poor he loved, and to them
great part of his unceasing energy was
given, with pleasant satisfaction to his
sympathetic nature.
The active pallbearers were: Drs. j
W. Wyman, Hugh S. Tyson, J. S. Mat
tbews, Messrs. J. B. Guess, s. T.. Mayfeld
w. H. Kearse, F. V. James and ]. Arthur
Virgins. The flower bearers were Misses
Annie Martin and Carrie Riley.
The grave was covered with an i'm

Shooting at Negro Union Meeting.

SALUDA, May 1.-The negro union
meeting held at their church near here
was broken up by row yesterday after
noon. Just who started the trouble is
not known.
Off in the woods near the church shot
was fired, quickly followed by another
and then a half dozen more rang out.
Those who were engaged in the shooting
went toward the church, which was
crowded, and in the church yard volley
was fired. Confusion more confounded
reigned. Why half hundred were not
killed outright is mystery. Only three
were found to be wounded when the
smoke cleared away. These were Jerry
Hendly, Luther Moore and one Butler.
The first two are not seriously injured,
while it is said that Butler cannot live.
Two or three horses and mules were also
wounded.
The union was brought to an abrupt
close and in five minutes the church
grounds we're as silent as a graveyard.

Earned his PAY.

The late NANNY" Friend thus describ-
ed one phase Of the laws mysterious
workings:
The counsel for the. defense told me
this story long after the case was forgot
ten. A man was on trial for murder
in small Western city. Testimony OF
the most incontrovertible and damaging
sort was piling up against the accused.
Despairingly the prisoners counsel made
his closing speech; in growing misery he
listened while the prosecution ruthlessly
rent asunder his fragile fabric of defence
and while the Judge summed.up strongly
against his client.
As the jury filed out the verdict OF
murder in the first degree seemed stamp,
ed on their faces. The prisoners counsel
managed to whisper to the foreman in
passing
Give hundred dollars if you make it
manslaughterp
For two interminable hours the jury
remained closeted., At last they filed in
and the foreman glibly handed upths de-
sired 'manslaughter' verdict.
'I tell your exclaimed the foreman,
later, as he pocketed the defence's five
hundred dollars, II had lot of trouble
earning that cash. The other eleven all
held out for acquittal, and it was a couple
of hours before could talk them around
to manslaughterp'

Burglary In Bamberg.

Last Sunday night W. G. Hottmans
store was entered and his cash register
robbed and a box of money which he was
going to give away was stolen. About
$15 was taken from the cash register ano
there was $50 or more in the box. The
entrance was made through the old
bakery by side door.
Suspicion pointed to John Henry
Moody, young negro who had been en-
ployed at the store as porter, but who was
discharged on Saturday night.
Mr.. Hoffman Immediately went to work
Monday morning to run down the thief
and Moody got scared as they were get
ting too close behind him, and LETT for
:orangeburg Tuesday morning. During
the day conclusive evidence was dis
covered against him and he was arrested
in orangebugg and brought back here
Tuesday night. He admitted his guilt
and told where he had hidden the money
box, which was in the patch of oats next
to the postofice. He was not arrested on
the burglary charge, however. He had
also stolen pistol from the Simmons
Hardware Co. He plead guilty to this
charge and was given thirty days on the
county chain gang by Magistrate W. T.
Wright. The burglary case will have to
be tried by the circuit court. MIR. Hoft-
man recovered only about $1s OF the
money, Moody having spent the balance
He is an old offender, having served
several terms on the gang for stealing
Ladson Daniels, another negro boy, was
also arrested as accessory, but he has been
released. Moody says he went into the
store alone, but it appears that Daniels
was keeping some of the money for him

THEATRICALS IN DENMARK.
A Successful Amateur Performance in the School
House on Friday Evening.

DENMARK, April 30-There was rend-
cred at the school building very taking
comedy Friday evening, entitled "Quits." J."
The play was received with great enthus-
iasm by large audience. The perform
ers were three teachers of the graded
school, Misses jamie May Carroll, Lillian
Gambrel, Leila Hepburn, and Messrs. W.
L. Riley and J. Arthur Virgins. The
characters were we'll impersonated, and at
no time did the plot lag. The audience
listened with unabated interest until the
climax was reached.
The comedy was preceded by short
vocal and instrumental program. Those
taking part were: Mesdames Eola Osteen,
Mamie Wyman, Belle Hall and Misses
Francis Roger and Eugenia Tinsley,
principal of the musical department of
the school.
The proceeds amounted to fifty dollars,
which amount will likely be duplicated
by the school board of trustees, for the
benefit of the growing school library.
The present session of the school will
come to close on June 1. Prof. A. G..
Rembert, of Wofford College, will deliver
an address before the school at that time.
Superintendent f. 81. Hall has been re-
elected for the coming term. Mr.. Hall
has proven himself worthy of the hearty
approval and united endorsement he is
receiving daily from the patrons of the
school. He and the trustees are now busy
selecting teachers to fill several vacancies
that have occurred. They are anxious to
retain as many of the present corps as
possible.
