Injured by Live Electric Wire.

SUMTER, Aug. 2.-Mr. J. J. Hardy was
shocked very much by a live electric wire
Tuesday evening, and Mr.. Eugene Moses
met with similar accident in trying to
relieve Mr.. Hardy. Two wires were
crossed in rear of Mr.. G. F. McFaddin's
yard causing plaze. Mr.. Hardy was in
vestigating the trouble when he noticed
a wire on the ground in an adjacent yard
and believing it was dead he grasped it
to remove it, when the current whizzed
all over him, throwing him to the ground
and he could not turn loose. Mr.. Moses
attempted to knock with stick the wire
loose from Mr.. Harby's hand, when he
was knocked helpless himself.
Mr.. Hardy was severely burned about
the hands, legs and back. Holes as large
as dollar were burned in his clothing.
Fortunately it was not from direct
current, but from the transformer, else
both of them would have met death.

Southern Railway Changes.

Mr.. J. A. Heether, who has for the past
four years been in charge Of the Charles
ton division of the Southern Railway, yes
terday received notice that on August IL
he would be transferred to be superin-
tendent of the Norfolk division. While
this is in the nature of promotion as the
Norfolk division is in the section of heav-
ier traffic and the salary is larger, Mr..
Heether said yesterday that he was sorry
to leave Charleston, where he had made so
many friends.
During his stay in Charleston and in
charge of the Charleston division Mr..
Heether has done great deal to improve
the physical condition of the Southern
Railway roadbeds, rolling stock and ter
minals. His service to the company and
the public has been all that could be de-
sired.
Mr.. A. Gordon Jones, who will come to
Charleston within the next few days and
will take charge of the Charleston divi-
sion August 10, was here in the same ca
pacity few years ago and is capable
and efficient railroad man. He s pleas =
antly remembered and will be greeted by
his old friends and made welcome. News

Jesse JameS's Son

Jesse James was the most noted outlaw
in his day, and the story of his wild deeds
together with the account of his murder
has been read BY millions of yougsters
At Kansas City few days ago, the son OF
the bandit, bearing the same name, won
first honors in class of 81, and he is now
a lawyer, a quiet, orderly young man,
with no bad or vicious habits, and with
the one desire of being looked upon as an
upright and honorable citizen. he was
highly complimented and commended fol
his excellent examination in law before
the State board, and in the court he won
the first case in which he appeared. he
defended prisoner charged with burgla'
~. The story of the sons achievement
ought to be printed for the benefit of the
youngsters. 1t might show them what
the son of a dishonored father can do
when he is actuated by the right motives
and principles.

Politics in Cherokee.

There was sort of free fight and row
at county campaign meeting in Chero-
kee one day last week. The trouble
started over man in the crowd asking
questions of ]. c. Otis, candidate for
State Senator. The friends of Otis re-
sented the nature of a question and
knives were drawn and general fight
resulted. During the row revolver shot
was fired, but no one was hit. Nobody
was injured and things quieted down in
short while. The next day in Gaffney
there was a fight between Mayor Little
and chief of police Tom Lockhart, in
which two of Little's sons and two police
men took part. This was a general fsti-
cuff and no weapons were used. 1t all
grew out of county politics. The mayor
fined himself five dollars and preferred
charges against the policemen.

Called Candidate a Liar.

SPARTANBURe, Aug. 6.-The county
campaign is warming up somewhat. At
the Tacapau mill Saturday evening Mr.
Irby, candidate for Congress, was making
his usual speech, showing how corpora
tions and trusts robbed the people when
he stated that cotton mills were oppress.
ing the employees and robbing them, Al
fred Moore, brother of the president of
the mill, called him down by using some
sensational epithets. he stated to the
candidate that he was telling a lie
That was very plain talk. 1t is probable
that there will be no trouble after this.

WlFE'S BODY FOUND IN WELL.
Awful Discovery Made by Mr. Whit Hamilton
Near Dillon.

DILLON, Aug. 5.-At an early hour this
morning the dead body of Mrs. Whit
Hamilton was found in the lot well on
their premises, where it had been since
last Tuesday morning.
On that day Mr. Whit Hamilton, a
farmer living about two miles from Dill
Ion, came into Dillon bringing with him
his little daughter; the only child, leaving
the wife and mother alone. She had ex.
pressed some opposition to having the
child accompany the father, fearing as
she said that the horse might become
frightened at the automobiles and the
child be injured, and even said if the faith
er persisted in carrying the little girl she
would leave home. Mr.. Hamilton play.
fully and banteringly offered her ten dol.
lars, saying he bet she wouldn't leave.
When he returned home few hours
later there was no trace of his wife. BE
saw that she had evidently changed he1
clothing and he fopnd the $1Okticking in
the fob pocket of the pair of pants he
had laid aside that morning.
By having changed her dress the i'm
preston was made that she had left home
but the most diligent search failed to give
the slightest clue to her whereabouts.
Last evening after dark Lot Jackson, a
white laborer on the place, in watering
the stock, detected an unusual odor at the
we'll, which he attributed to the hog wal
low, and it also occurred to him that the
bucket was harder to sink and fill than
usual. Without the remotest suspicion
however, as to the true cause of both con.
ditions,, he went home.
Very early this morning the distracted
husband, who since the mysterious disap'
pearance of his wife, while not away hunt
ing for her, has been staying at his faith
er's only about 400 yards away, walked
over to his home. Mechanically perhaps
going to the we'll to water his stock, the
gruesome spectacle of the dead body oi
his wife floating on the top Of the water
met his Mortified gaze, dead nearly one
week.

with spirits OF cologne. At the end
of another week you will have as fine
a gallon of perfume as you will
want.
When you are ready to wash your
hands with this sweet mixture take a
bowl of warm water and add to it a
pinch of powdered borax. Into this
put half wine glass of perfume.
Use no soap, but keep this water
for -insing. 1t will impart a lasting
fragrance which will remain upon
your hands from morning until night.
Have you ever tried putting up
winter furs in perfumeryl
Make some sachets and scatter them
through the storage chest, thus using
sachet powders insted of camphor.
You will find that the moths stay
away just as we'll and the furs come
out in the fall smelling sweet.
And the same thing with clothes,
those which you are putting away un-
I'll spring.. Many Of. them are of
cashmere and light wool and you don't
want the moths to get into them. Put
them away between layers of sachets
and you will find that you will have
never moth.
There is a story told of woman
who spent the summer upon the Jer-
sey coast where mosquitoes are thick.
Not waiting to be eaten alive she
sprinkled her bedroom with sachet
powder until the whole room was fill
ed with perfume. All night long she
selpt in peace.
Animals do not as rule like strong
odors, and disease germs are particu-
larly averse to them. A strong odor
of rose will drive away many of the
contagious diseases, so some scientists
affirm, and you can actually keep
yourself we'll by having nice smells
around you.
Altar of rose is very effective, but
unfortunately it is expensive. Oil
of rose geranium is very effective and
there are other extracts which can be
bought and used to good advantage.
In old fashioned German households
the custom prevails of buying GER
tain amount of good perfume every
year. This perfume is bougt not to
be bottled and preserved, but to be
used, and when it disappears more is
purchased.
The fad for distinctive odor is dy-
ing away, and women are inclined to
scent themselves like an English gar
den. An English garden is one in
which all the common flowers grow
and when you take a sniff of you do
not know whether you are smelling
violets or mignonette, geraniums or
roses, delicate pansies or strong hello
trope. Thus it is fashionable to mill
gle your perfumes.
The pine tree scent is the odor of
the moment and wise women are
making little bags of pine and heap
ing them up, SO that they and their
apartments may smell like pine
tree.-N. Y. San.
