Takes His Own Life.

Arthur Mcbride, a young man.
27 years old, and living about
three miles east of Union, put an
end to his own life by drinking
carbolic acid. The deed was
done some time Sunday night,
and the dead body discovered
next morning. He had retired
to bed. A two ounce bottle,
empty and corked, was found
beside the dead body on the bed.
The young man was in feeble
health and had more than once
before attempted to destroy
himself. On former occasions
he used morphine, but was un-
successful in the attempt. His
mind had been somewhat de-
ranged, but it was thought he
had recovered. On Sunday he
seemed to be in the best of
spirits, attended church at Mon
arch mills and made a visit to
relatives in the afternoon. He
was buried Tuesday morning in
the old Mcbride burying ground,
Rev. L. M. Rice conducting the
services.

Entertainment at Monarch.

The Ladies Aid Society, of the
Bethel Methodist church, gave
an entertainment at the Monarch
hall on last Saturday night, con-
sisting of dialogues, recitations,
etc. 1t was a very enjoyable oc-
casion to all. A nice sum of
something over twenty-five dol
lars was collected from the en-
tertainment.
Rev. Sam T. Creech gave a
lecture on Monday night in the
behalf also of the Aid Society,
and another large amount of
money was realized. The lecture
was real good in every particular.
The subject discussed by Mr..
Creech was why Married Life
is Sometimes a Failure.''
The concert given at the Bap-
tist church by Prof. J. G. Mitch
ell was a great success, and a
marked improvement could be
detected on the part of all who
had attended the school. The
program rendered was interest
ing in every particular. Mr..
S. E. Boney, of THE UNION
TIMES staff, gave an excellent
address on the subject of music
in general, and it's effects on the
human race for all time. Mr..
J. P. Coleman also said!, several
helpful things in regard to mus
ic. Rev. j. T. Going made a
few remarks on the relation of
music to Christianity, and it's
power to cheer a Christian on
the pilgrimage of life. Prof.
j. C.. Mitchell has won. the es-
TEEN of the entire community by
his untiring efforts in making
the school a success, for they
feel that all have been benefited.

Louise Bonneau, of Beaufort, is
the other, and she will teach the
End grade at the Monarch school.

A POSSum Comes to Town.

Yes, he wanted to move in.
Having caught the spirit of the
day, and being intensely modern,
this young possum decided to
quit the home of his childhood,
the rural districts, and move to
town. Unfortunately for him,
the reception accorded him was
not what he expected. But the
fault was all his own. His ar
rival here was in the night time,
and people were totally unpre-
pared to receive him. He should
have known better.
However, Mr.. M. B. Summer,
who is naturally very kind and
hospitable, had compassion on
the ::newly-come" and took him
in charge, extending all the
courtesies possible on such short
notice. Tuesday night was the
time, and the place of meeting
was down on South street, in
front of Mr.. McNally's. Mr.. Pos
sum is now enjoying Mr.. Sum-
mer's hospitality, rolling in the
lap of luxury, and getting the
best what is" Just how long
he will be there is very uncer-
tain, for there may be some
method in Mr.. Summers kind
ness.

A Burglary Scare.

On last Friday night, or rather
Saturday morning at about 2
o'clock, the family of Mrs. D. N.
Wilburn received quite a scare,
in the form ofSa burglar, who
attempted to enter the house
through one of the up-stair win
dows, which is accessible from
the roof of several piazzas at the
rear of the house.
Mrs. Wilburn was awake, not
having again gone to sleep, after
the arrival of some members of
her family, who came in on the
train at about 1:30. 1t was 2
O'Clock when the noise was heard
at the window. Several mem
bers of the family heard it, and
Mrs. Wilburn heard the walking
on the roof. She aroused her
son, who made a search about
the premises and phoned for a
policeman. The search by both
revealed no one; and tracks were
impossible to detect, since the
yard is covered with grass. No
clue whatever has been found.
The intent must have been bur-
glary, but it was not successful,
since the would-be burglar was
frightened by the commotion he
himself created in the house.

Diseases Among Cattle.

J Within the last month the
State Veterinarian has received
q number of letters concerning
cattle affected with sore mouth,
and, in many cases, sore or ten
der feet. AS the disease seems
to be generally prevalent, no
doubt as a result of the long
continued wet weather, the fol-
lowing information concerning
sois supplied for publication.
The disease is known in medi-
cine as mycotic stomatitis. 1t is
not contagious or infectious
but is caused by fungi or mould,
which grow upon forage or grass.
These fungi, which grow luxuri-
antly in wet seasons, have a very
irritant effect upon the lining
membrane of the mouth, the
membrane covering the tongue
and upon the soft skin between
the claws.
Affected animals eat and drink
with great difficulty or not at
all, the saliva forms froth around
the lips or dribbles from the
mouth, the membrane lining the
mouth is red and hot and con-
tains ulcers, the membrane COW
ering the tongue is affected in
the same way, and a very often
sive odor is usually present.
Sometimes the skin between the
claws and just above the hoof is
affected, and then the animal
walks stiff and sore. The trouble
is usually confined to the anter-
ior limbs, but all four legs may
be attacked. In milk cows ulcers
may also appear on the udder
and teats.
Herds of cattle in which ami
mails have been attacked with
this disease should be removed
from the pasture in which they
have been running. The affect
ed animals should be fed on soft
food, such as bran mashes, meal
and gruels. They should have
free access at all times to- clean,
cool water, and two heaping
tablespoonfuls of borax should
be dissolved in each of the first
two buckets of water given each
day. The mouth should be
washed out daily with a solution
of creolin-one tablespoonful of
creolin to each quart of water
and following this a half table
spoonful of alum or borax should
be placed on the tongue. Dis
eased areas of the feet should be
washed daily with the creolin So
luton and afterward covered
with zinc ointment. If this
treatment is properly applied
and the animals are carefully
fed the disease will rapidly dis
appear.

FIRST BALE OF COTTON MARKETED
By j. f. Minter--T. J. AIyers0n
Comes Second.

There was a race for the honor
of marketing the first bale. Mr..
Alverson, for several years, has
been bringing in the first bale.
But it seem that this year, Mr..
j. E. Minter, also of Sedalia,
won the laurels, he having ar
rived a little earlier than Mr..
Alverson.
Mr.. Minter's bale was bought
by w. D. Arthur, purchaser fo1
Aetna Mills, at 10c. 1t weighed
521 pounds. Mr.. Alverson mar.

SOUTH CAROLINA tONORS IS
YOUNG Man OF COURAGE.
His Nomination Is Due Principally to
His Fight Against Dispeugafy
Graft. s..

J. Fraser Lyon, who Tuesday
received the nomination as the
candidate of the Democratic
party for the office of Attorney
General, will be 35 years of age
in October, and is one of the
youngest men whom the people
of the state thus have honored.
He is a native of Abbeville
county, having been born at
Verdery, in what is now Green
wood county. He comes of hon
orable parentage, his father,
Mr.. J. Fuller Lyon, being
descendant of the most promi-
nent families of Culpepper and
Albemarle counties in Virginia
the Ambrose, Powell and Hill
families being closely related as
was Gen. Ambrose P. Hill, Gen.
Lees chevalier. The mother of
Fraser Lyon was Miss Peltier of
Chapel Hill, N. c., daughter of
Anthony Peltier, captain in
the French navy under Napoleon,
Bonaparte and kinsman of the
scientist who introduced the use
of quinine.
Fraser Lyon was prepared for
college by DR.. D. B. Johnson,
now president of Winthrop Col
lege, by Prof. j. w. Thomson of
Winthrop, and by other careful
teachers. He graduated from
Wofford college in 1895 and the
loyalty with which his fellow
college men have supported him
in his fight this summer shows
that even IN college he made a
marked impression.
He studied law in the office of
DeBruhl & Lyon and in 1893 was
admitted to the bar. His father,
Judge. j. Fuller Lyon, is the
member of the firm above
referred to. S.- -s.,,;,.--, -
He was referee in bankruptcy
in Abbeville and Greenville
counties for three years before
his election to the legislature.
For several years he served as
clerk OIL the nnanco commune OF
the senate and thus acquainted
himself intimately with public
affairs.
His service in the legislature
is best known because of the
fact that he was member of
the committee which investi-
gated the affairs of the State
dispensary and showed that in
stitution to be the prey of
grafters. But there were other
services in the legislature for
which Mr.. Lyon is not known 80
we'll. He was a member of the
ways and means committee and
showed himself to be man of
more than usual discretion.
Mr.. Lyon is said to have one
of the finest law libraries in the
upper part of the State. He is a
steward in Methodist church and
has been a representative to the
Pythian grand lodge.-The
State.

as would recital, for the accompani-
ment and other instrumental parts are
important features of the composition.
