Bound to Have Something.

Secretary Shaw, searching for the hid
den things in the lives of his hundreds Of
clerks, had blanks sent around the treas.
ury asking each clerk to. give his vital
statistics. One line requested an answer
to the question: care you suffering from
any disease?"
When the blanks came in it was found
that one man said he had tuberculosis.
Secretary Shaw sent for him. He came
in, a big, broad-shouldered negro mes
senger, who looked healthy enough to
live for fifty years.
"Why," said the secretary, "you haven't
got tuberculosis"
"Ain't II" asked the negro.
mo, you haven't. You are perfectly
healthy. Why did you write on this
blank that you had tuberculosis
"Well," said the messenger, II dunno
ceptin' if there's anythin' fashionable 60
ing round, I want it."

His Conscience Clear.

"Don't you think" asked the wife of
the man who was advertising the latest
cureall, "that it is wrong of you to sell
this stuff? Here you are getting hun
dreds of dollars day from people who
work hard for their money, and-and-
well, to tell you the truth, my conscience
has been troubling me good deal. I'm
afraid it is very wrong of US to become
wealthy in this way"
"Pshaw! Don't give yourself any un-
easiness. It's all right. Anybody could
take barrel of the stuff and never be af-
fected in the least"

Why He Wanted Help.

That disaster breeds endurance no one
doubts. An easterner who was visiting
in California at the time of the recent Ca
lamity fully recognized this fact and gave
the Caifornians credit for it.
A building had collapsed as result of
the earthquake. Besides several Californ-
ians, confined beneath the debris was a
New Yorker. As the rescuers began re-
moving the brick and timbers, a feeble
voice called from corner of the building
far below:
"Help here!" I am from the east, and
am unused to earthquakes. Take me out
first"

Little Helen, aged four, was in fright
full predicament. The nurse, carrying the
cherished two-weeks-old baby up and
down before the house, had paused to
show the new infant to the Bishop, who
had asked to look at it. And then the
tall, grave Bishop, of whom Helen stood
greatly in awe, had unexpectedly asked
the little gir, to give him the baby.
How in the world to refuse request
made by such an awe-inspiring person as
the Bishop the child did not know. But
presently she wrinkled her small counte-
nance shrewdly, moved closer to the.pe-
titioner, and said, ingratiatingly, "Ill let
YOU have the next"

The Greater Difficulty.

A gentleman driving an automobile on

riage in which was an old-fashioned
couple. They jumped to the ground and
the automobile came to halt.
The gentleman Of the car stepped for

past the machine.
"Oh, never mind the horse, never mind
the horse" said the old gentleman. "You
lead the old lady past that thing, and
I'll get the horse by all right"

Negro Boy Electrocuted.

A small negro boy by the name of
Josephus Lance was accidentally
electrocuted on last Sunday after
noon by an electric light wire at the
corner of Highmarket and St. James
streets. It seems that one Of the
guy" wires became charged with
electricity and a number Of small
boys were playing with the wire.
Several of them attempted to take
hold of the wire and were knocked
down. Josephus made a bet he
could hold it. He did, but it killed
him. The coroner held an inquest

Country Correspondence.

Miss Naomi Sandifer left Monday for
Gaffney, where she goes to attend Lime
stone college.
There is lot of sickness in our com.
munity. Your humble scribe has also
been victim of old grim malaria for
several days.
The Hampton school opened Monday
with Miss Armstrong, of Summerville, as
the teacher. There were only few
bupils, as sickness prevents so many.
Mrs. Julia Sandifer, of Denmark, spent
Sunday with her son, Mr.. Willmott San
differ, of our midst.
Little Miss Elberta Sandifer, of Bam-
berg, was at the bedside of her cousin,
Miss George Emma Jordan, Sunday.
A social gathering at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. F. NJ. Zeigler was very pleasant
on the evening of the home coming of
Miss Gertrude Oxner and their daughter,
Deborah, who were in attendance on the
Noman's Christian Temperance Union
at Edgefeld. Miss Oxner was delegate
and Miss Zeigler contestant for the
gold medal. They report a good time,
royal entertainment, and profitable
convention.
A goodly number of young folks gath
cred to play "Up-Jinks," one evening at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. L. NJ. Aver,
our amiable host and hostess.
Miss Rebekah Mitchell entertained
quite number of her young friends at a
good old pindar boiling, which was Ger.
tainly the very thing. At all these homes
the guests were made to feel "at home"
all stiff formality being laid aside.
The Christian Temperance Union at
Clear Pond school house is doing lot of
good. We find the young ladies very
enthusiastic, being ably assisted by the
sterner sex in fighting the deadly poison,
whiskey, that is wrecking so many homes.
May the temperance societies with the
little white bows ever be shining star
for our fathers, brothers, uncles, cousins,
and friends to follow, and every woman
and man be made to see the evil Of
whiskey, and if it is through woman
that whiskey is to be fought we pray
for strength and courage to fight it.
The farmers in our community are
very much behind gathering. The bad
weather and sickness prevents so much,
but "there'll come time" Only small
crop is made, but the rise in the market
Monday and Tuesday made the smiles
chase away lot of ugly frowns from
the faces of our farmers. We hope the
price will continue to rise, as there is
good deal of old cotton that was held
for higl price, and we hope those
who held will realize some coed by
holding.

IN THE PALMETTO STATE.
INTERESTING OCCURRENCES OF VARIOUS
KINDS in SOUTH CAROLINA.
State News Boiled Down for Quick Reading
Punsent Paragraphs About Men
and Happenings.

Charleston has inaugurated a strenuous
crusade against vagrants. Large numbers
have been sent to the changing or run
out of the city.
VIM. Bennett, colored, who was last
week given new trial, was convicted
again at Beaufort on Tuesday of the MUIR
der of G. NJ. Harvey, and was sentenced
to hang on Friday, the End of Novem-
Der.
Rev. R. J. White, the negro preacher
and educator who was warned to leave
Augusta, came to Aiken. 1t was said that
White intended to endeavor TO publish
his journal there and that he was in con-
ference with negro leaders with that end
in view. The mayor issued instructions
that White be brought into court and
stated that he would order him to leave
town at once.
Zeta Lawrence, colored, was tried IN
Pickens last weeksin the court OF general
sessions on the charge of committing
criminal abuse on the nine-year-old child
of II. Frank Smith. He was found guilty
of an assault with intent to ravish. He
was sentenced to 80 years in the State
penitentiary. Lawrence is IS years old.
Judge Watts congratulated Pickens
county for letting the law take its course.
There is a probability that the new
cruiser North Carolina will come to
Charleston to be presented with the Sill
yer service by the State after which she IS
named. The invitation was extended to
Governor Glenn to allow the ship to come
to Charleston, as there is no port in North
Carolina with water deep enough to &C.
commodate her, and the governor has sig
nified his intention to give the whole mat
ter consideration at the proper time.
At Laurens last week G. Wash Hunter,
white, was tried for the second time for
the murder of his young friend Copeland.
The iury could not agree and a mistrial
was ordered. In the trial the week pre-
yious Hunter was found guilty OF man
slaughter, but the judge granted new
trial because of the trial jury being sepa-
rated. His bond was;again fixed at 81, 900,
which he gave and was released. The
case will come up for trial at the next
term of court. 1t is said the jury stood
six for manslaughter and six for acquit-
tai.
John W. Fairey, cashier of the Edisto
Savings Bank at Orangeburg, disappear
ed recently and last week the bank presi-
dent received letter from him dated at
New York, saying he had gone away be-
cause he could not get his ledger to bal
ance. He asked for an investigation and
offered to pay the expenses. No dis
crepancy has been found in his accounts
80 far, but thorough examination will
be made. 1t is not believed that the
Young man is short, and some people
think he is mentally unbalanced. This
is the only way in which they can &C.
count for his going away. Mr.. Fairey

SUBSTITUTE FOR WHISTLES.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Whatever tends to reduce the wear and
tear Of nerves in great city is worth serious
attention, and that is my excuse for asking space
to suggest what believe would be q practicable
substitute for the constant footing Of whistles
rivers and harbors.
It IS we'll known that the signals by means Of
whistles have the disadvantage of being or
less difficult TO place TO direction and to iden-
tify as TO the vessel from which they come. espe-
cially In thick weather I do not know that the
idea OF signalling by Of lights instead Of
sounds IS a new one, but I wish TO suggest that
practicable way TO give II trial would be set
a lantern of suitable power on the roof OF the
pilothouse and then arrange shutter so that It
would cover the Light when at rest. cord at
tached to this shutter could be led over pulley
and Joined to the whistle cord. Then whenever
the whistle was blown the light would be uncov-
cred. and the q would be fash for every toot'
l think Il would not be long before pilots would
come TO see that II easier to watch the flashes
than o listen the toots, and that II was also
impossible to mistake direction the identity
as to make light useless, Of course IT would pc
necessary resort to the whistle; but Tor all put
half q dozen nights in the year I feel sure the
light would soon put the whistle out OF business
IF 5@siTad the Signal could be made still more
definite, by combining the light to one dlrectlot
mounting the lantern verticle axis passing

he Instantly and accurately turned so as 10 throw
fI1a ASH exactly upon the vessel TO which II was
desired 70 send the signal l know of no patent
exoept the public good. but think the idea worth
a trial especially II involves no abandonment
Of old methods unless, or UNTIL the new shalI

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
BUSINESS VIEW OF HUDSON MEMORIAL
Danger of Failure in Appeal to Sentiment
Alone Suggested.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In the public discussion which has thus far
taken place regarding the form which the proposed
celebration Of the Hudson Tercentensry shall take
one phase OF the matter seems to have been over
looked II sentiment alone be appealed TO, the
celebration must inevitably be either small
scale of doubtful success, Sentiment is not the
predominant element in the constitution Of this
great commercial community. The experiences with
the pedestal for the BarthoIdi statue the Grant
monument the Dewey Arch and other like enter
prises which appealed for their support solely to
considerations of sentiment historic interest
demonstrate that in such matters is doubt
full or long delayed.
One OF the chief attractions OF the Permanent In
ternetional Exposition a OF celebrating
the event in 1903 is that it may be presented not
only as impressive and digrifed enterprise wor-
thy Of the city and State, but also business
proposition, which does not involve the tremendous
waste Of six months Worlds Fair, but offers the
prospect OF reasonable profit to be derived from
legitimate and substantial business venture In
this It consonant with the spirit the time
and OF this city and should appeal TO hard headed
men of business by whom appeals for the honor OF

be received with Indifference. To reverse the maxim
OF aesthetics, Take care OF the useful and the
