NEGRO FACES GRAVE CHARGE,
Allen Denton Accused OF Attempt at Criminal
Assault Quickly Placed in Jail.


CHARLESTON, Sept. f5.-An attempt at
rape was committed by Allen Denton, a
yonng negro, on the premises of Mr..
George Worrell, on Spring street at an
early hour this morning and the negro is
now in jail, awaiting trial, with long
term of Imprisonment hanging over his
head. The negro has been employed by
MI. Worrell in his ice cream establish.
ment for several years. Shortly after 6
o'clock this morning, the negro made his
way up the back steps of the residence
from the ice cream establishment on the
first floor to the room of Mr.. Worrelps
daughter and there attempted the crime.
He had just entered the room and ap-
preached the bed in which the young
women were asleep, when one of them
awakened and screamed, bringing her
brothers to the room. The negro at
tempted to make bis escape, but he was
caug ght and delivered to the police officer
on the beat. Early this morning, the
prisoner was referred to Magistrate
O'Shaughnessy, being guarded by several
police officers en- route from the station
to the magistrates Office, and without de-.
lay Denton was committed for trial and
quickly removed to the Jail. Much in
dignation and excitement prevailed when
the news became known, but then the
prisoner was safe in a steel cage, behind
stone walls. The negro had not pre-
viously exhibited any vicious inclinations.

Desperate Fisht With Deer.

Mr. Cain Of Galiano island, British
Columbia, had an exciting experience
with some deer. While out in his boat
for a row he noticed three deer SWIM
ming across Whaler's bay. he gave
chase and headed them up a narrow
inlet, at the head Of which was a steep
blum Of rocks with a fat mud beach
at the base. The deer made several
attempts to Jump to the top Of the
blu6, but were unable to do 80. Mr..
Cain watched bis chance, and when
the largest buck made Jump and fell
back and rolled over he seized him BY
the hind leg and tried to hold him on
hh back until he could kill him with
a pocketknite, which was the only
weapon be had. He was not able,
however. to open his knife, as it was q
desperate struggle, which finally ended
in the deer re2aining hts feet when
the whole three bolted of and scam
pered down the beach. Mr.. Cain was
left lying PROSTATE on the beach.

Train Wreck.

There was train wreck at Edisto
last Monday evening, it being caused
by a head-on collision between the
passenger train going to Branchville
and the Kingville "short" which was
coming towards Bamberg pulling a
string of freight cars. This train
was too long for the Edisto siding,
so it remained on the main line and
put out torpedoes to stop the pas
senger. The air brakes on this train
failed to work and the two engines
came together, but the passenger
engine had nearly stopped and the
impact was notso great. The freight
engine was knocked from the track
and some Of the passengers were
shaken up a little and scared very
much, but no great amount of dam
age was done. The wreck caused a
delay of several hours in the night
train returning to Augusta.

How to Kill Newspaper and Yourself With it

'o" ~ AN'' - ''S"SfekS' o''N 'S~'S~'' "'s'' 'e'
A Western paper gives the follow
ing recipe foi killing your home paper,
your business and your town along with
it.
"Just let the subscription 60. It's on.
ly a dollar or two-the publisher don't
need it.
"If he asks for it get as mad as you
can and stop the paper-you never need
it anyhow. Then 60 and borrow your
neighbor's.
"When reporter comes always be
busy. Make him feel as if he were in
truding. When the advertising and job
man comes, tell him that it doesn't pay
you to advertise, everybody knows you,
and that you will try to get along with
out any printed stationery, it is too expen-
sive and you must economic.
"Never drop in to see the editor unless
you want free complimentary notice or
lengthy obituary for beloved relative.
-"Never recommend the paper to any
body. When you speak Of it, say, Yes
we have little sheet, but it doesn't
amount to much
"Keep this up for year or two and you
will have . dead newspaper, a dead set
of merchants, and dead town.

ULMER, Sept. 17-About sunrise yester.
day morning a founding was discovered
on the front doorsteps of Rev. O. j. Nc
Pherson, colored in this place, having
been left there by some one unknown
between midnight and daylight. Some
buggy tracks were seen nearby. and being
followed by several persons, they were
traced towards Buford's bridge across the

OPERATED ON TWO,
NEAR DEATH HIMSELF
Heroic Surgeon, Though n Agony From
Appendicitis, Saved Sufferers
From Same Disease.

A unique case Of heroism was recorded
when Professor Baron Eiselberg. the
noted surgeon of Vienna university.
after performing two difficult opera
tiens for appendicitis, ordered the op-
Grating table cleared again and an
nounced himself as the third patient.
It was learned after the operation
had been successfully performed that
Professor Eiselberg had for days sus-
pected that. he was suneptnS from the
disease which be had done so much TO
arrest in others and had. been system
atically examining his own symp-
toms. One night the famous surgeon
was suffering greatly fron appendi-
citis in an advanced stage. He decided
that an operation was necessary early
the next morning.
When he reached the operating room
he found two difficult and dangerous
cases awaiting him. Although suffer
ing great agony, the surgeon performed
both operations with his usual bril-
liancy and success. Then he quietly
announced that he was victim Of the
same disease and asked that the table
be prepared for him.
The professors assistants, who were
deeply moved, FASTENED to comply with
his request. and the operation was sue
cessful.
Professor Eiselberg appeared to view
the entire proceedings as a matter OF
course and appeared greatly annoyed
when his associates insisted that he
was hero and had risked his own life
to save others. He declared that it
was merely a part Of the days work.
He will recover.

Then from his wolfskin pounch he

in silent amazement. She lifted the

ecstasy was indescribable.

An Animal Game.

Il watched some children the other
night who seemed to. be having the
best time imaginable over this game.
They had slips of paper numbered
from one to Is and a black board such
as many children possess. The Oldest
child, a girl about 11s seemed to be
the leader and she whispered to each
boy or girl in turn the. name of an
animal to be drawn on the board:
each of the audience writing down
opposite the figure what animal, he
thought the artist was attempting to
portray. When is animals had been
drawn the slips were collected and
the child who had correctly guessed
the, most was to be awarded a prize
which learned was a treat to ice

BIRDS THAT. ENJOY DANCING
Have Regular "6all Rooms" for Their
Gyrataions.


Dancing is by no means confined to
-quadrupeds; it is the principal play
Of many birds.
Perhaps the finest of bird dancers
is the South American cock O. the
rock. These birds have regular dane
tng places, level spots which they keep
clear of sticks and stones.
A dozen or more of the bird dane
ers assemble around this spot. and
then a cock bird, his scarlet crest
erect, steps into the center. Spread.
Ing his wings and tail, he begins to
dance, at first with slow and state
ly steps, then gradually more and
more rapidly until he is spinning like
a mad thing. At last, tired out, he
sinks down, hops out OF the ring and
another takes his place.
Some Of the quail tribe are great
dancers, and SO are the American sand
hill cranes. It is a most ludicrous
sight to watch a crane dancing; he is
so desperately solemn over the whole
performance. He looks like a shy
young man who has just learned to
waltz and is rather ashamed of the
accomplishment.

| For many days there was little seen
Of Cross Eyes in the chase or at the

more earnestly than he had ever been
EWhen forming spear or arrowhead.
With infinite labor and patience unex

ly, but happily, and wonderful things
began fashioning themselves in his
strong hands. He bored each white

rounded them and polished them un-

Cross Eyes was hidden in his cave,
Big Bow had wooed most vigorously.
He would make last great effort and

So, as darkness fell, Big Bow went
to the cave of Little Toes, where she
chanced to be alone. Tossed over one
of his shoulders was the body of a
fawn he had killed that day, and over
the other hung down to the. cave

which was something to demand at
