Triplets.
Especial to Columbia State.)


Bennettsville, Oct. 14.-The wife of
S. S. Britt, colored, gave birth to trip
lets last Thursday morning at her
home in the sand hill region of this
county, near the North Carolina line.
There are two girls and one boy.
weighing ten, eight and six pounds re-
spectively. They are all healthy and
doing we'll. Britt and his wife are
the parents of II children, and twice
have twins been born to them.
The father of the triplets and the
attending physician, DR.. J. S. Hair,
ca .e to Bennettsville yesterday and
m.-de an affidavit before Magistrate
C. u. Easterling, setting forth the
above facts. They secured this affidavit
for the purpose of sending it to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, believeing that he
would be very much interested to
learn that there is no race suicide in
this branch of the family of Ham.
DR.. Hair is an Indian half-breed,
and has been practicing with roots
and herbs for about half century.
His neighbors say that he has cured
many diseases where regular physi-
clans failed. He says that never be-
fore, during his long experience, has
he attended the birth of so many
babies at one time. He is now quite
feeble, and does not come TO town
more than twice in decade. He made
the trip yesterday for the express pur-
pose of getting the affidavit to send
to the President, of whom he is a
great admirer.

Telephone Company Incorporated.

The Walker River Electrical Co.
was organized and incorporated this
week under the laws of Nevada,
with capital stock of 10000 shares
of the par value of 81 per share.
The members of the corporation are
Frank Simpson, Will Reading, Ar
thur Cohn, Charles Day, and John
O'Banion, all of Smith Valley, as
directors. The object of the COM
pany is to construct and operate a
telephone line from Wellington to
Carson, where connection may be
had with the Sunset Company's
long distance line. A line will also
be constructed from Wellington to
Yerington, probably com n g
down by the way of Nordyke. 1t
will be very convenient thing for
this valley and Smith Valley and
will no doubt pay the stockholders
fair dividends on their investment.
1t is understood that construction
work will begin as soon as arrange
ments can be made to obtain sup
plies and material.

Another Bogus Check Man.

Some two months ago curly
headed German who gave his name
as l.. S. Mehr drifted into Mason
Valley from the southern country
and began buying hay and other
ranch produce for shipment to To-
nopah and Goldfeld. Mehr was a
total stranger to the people here, but
he evidently had persuasive way
as he did good deal of business and
paid, or agreed to pay, good prices
for all kinds of produce. He made
frequent trips from here to Tonopah
and every time he arrived here the
farmers extended the glad hand and
had more stuff to sell to him. Mehr
arrived here last week Friday, did
some more business, paid in checks
on the Tonopah Bank, as usual, and
Monday took his departure, telling
some people that he was going to
Dayton and others that he was going
south. The next day a couple OF his
checks came in from Tonopah pro-
tested. Those who had done bust
ness with Mehr then began to COM
pare notes. and found that they held
considerable worthless paper, while
some had loaned him money on no
security at all. Further inquiry as
to the whereabouts of Mehr reveal
ed the fact that he had gone to Keel
er and there taken the stage for a
point further south. Just how much
money Mehr swindled people out of
here is not know at this time, but it
will probably amount to $1,000, or
over. Henry Brisson is out over
$1,000 in hay, G. Hironymous is out
several tons of barley, NJ. Segal is
out several hundred dollars, Vim.
Schacht is out 500 of borrowed
money, and several Italians are out
a couple of carloads of potatoes.
VIM. Maggie, of Tonopah, is out sew
eral hundred dollars advanced on
produce, and there are probably 9TH
ers. AS an example of Mehr's finan-
ciering he sold barley at Wabuska
for $50 per ton which he paid SIS for
here. He also sold potatoes for SII
which he had given checks for at $I4
per ton. No steps have yet been
taken to catch Mehr.

The Water Meetlno.

The meeting held in this place last
Saturday by the water users and
land owners of this valley and
Smith Valley was quite largely at.
tended. The proposition submitted
by Miller 4 Lux for a division of
water until such time as a storage
scheme shall be inaugurated, was
thoroughly dicussed, and it was de-
cided that some amendments would
be necessary before the ditch own
ers would sign it. Therefore it was
decided to appoint committee to
draft an amended agreement. This
committee is composed of one mem
Der from each ditch company and
individual taking water out of the
Walker Rivers, and it will meet in
Yerington on the 24th to resent the
document for agreement. This COM
mittee will also appoint committee
OF three to wait upon Miller x Lux
in San Francisco with the amended
agreement. Following is the com.
mittee named to draft agreement;

Cured His Mother of Rheumatism.

"My mother has been a sufferer
for many years from rheumatism"
says w. H. Howard, of Husband,
Pennsylvania. "At times she was
unable to move at all, while at all
times walking was painful. pre-
scented her with a bottle of Cham
berlain's Pain Balm, and after few
applications she decided it was the
most wonderful pain reliever she
had ever tried, in fact she is never
without it now and is at all times
able to walk. An occasional appli-
cation of Pain Balm keeps away the
pain that she was formerly troubled
with" For sale by Mason Valley
