Attacked by Lunaic.

Greenwood, May 3l.-Oficer NJ. B.
Chandler, of the Greenwood police force,
had narrow escape from fatal injury
at the hands of demented man here
yesterday afternoon. This man, Mr..
Fooshee, was brought up from Plumb
Branch some days ago by his brothers
and placed in the county Jail before being
sent to tho asylum in Columbia. He had
been in the asylum twice before this, but
seemed to recover and was released. He
was with his brothers, running saw
mill near Woodlawn, when he again be-
came violent and they brought him here
as above stated Yesterday afternoon he
got hold Of piece of iron and broke the
lock of the room in which he was con-
fined at the Jail and with the same piece
Of iron broke the lock on the gate of the
yard and thus secured liberty. Picking
up an iron shovel ho walked into the
sheriff's Office and there saw G. E. Dukes,
deputy sheriff, whom he knew personally.
He cursed Dukes aud said he would not
be put back. Mr.. Chandler was sent for
and he and Mr.. Dukes were attempting
to get around the unfortunate orazy mln
30 as to get him back to Jail when Chan
dler got terrific blow on tho head fir ON
Fooshse with his shovel. Chandler
thought he saw an opportunity to run in
and grab Fooshee around tho body before
he could strike, but Fooshee was Quick
enough to get in blow, although being
at such close range it lost much of it's
force. AS it was, Chandler got very
painful and ugly scalp wound. Fooshee
was overpowered, however, and is now
in jail. He will be sent to Columbia at
once.

my little son, when about a year
and a half old began to have sores
come out on his face. They began to
come on his arms, then on other parts
of his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. At the
end Of about a year and a half Of suf-
fering he grew so bad l had to tie his
hands in cloths at night to keep him
from scratching the sores and tearing
the flesh. He got to be a mere skele-
ton and was hardly able to walk. I
sent to the drug store and got a cake
Of Cuticura Soap and a box Of Cuticura
Ointment, and at the end Of about two
months the sores were all we'll. He
has never had any sores Of any kind
since, and only for the Cutlcura Rene.

snuf a. Medicine.

ooh. yes said a t~obacconist, as he
tapped a jar filed with a cinnamon
colored powder. II sell an ounce or
two OF snuff occasionally. To the old,
as q rule. The young will seldom look
at snuff. ..."
And those who do use 1t impute
medicinal virtues to it. Thus old
fashioned watchmakers, gem-cutters
and tailors think that a pinch of snuff
now and then improves the eyesight.
They think 1t refreshes and fortifies
weary eyes as a cup of tea refreshes
and fortifies a weary brain.
"Others hin snuff cures q cold.
Others take 1t for the headache Others
still believe that it wards off con-
tagion.
Personally / believe that snuff
ticking is less harmful than smoking.
Its effect, too. is pleasanter than the
effect of smoking-it is q most soothing
I'M fascinating effect, once you get
used to it-but the habit is untidy, and
therefore it can get no hold upon us
in this ae3.hctic age."

evening to the well to draw water, and,
looking down to the bottom, he saw the
moon. Quickly he ran into the house and
got a rope with a hook attached to the
end of it. This he lowered into the well.
The hook caught fast on a stone. Khodja
pulled desperately. the hook gave way,
and there was the joker, fiat on his back,
staring up into the sky.
Upon my SOUL" he exclaimed, perceiv-
ing the moon, II have had a bad fall,

In the interests of Peace.

A party of youths were camping in
the mountains of the upstate district.
One of them disturbed the others ev-
cry moment his lungs would allow by a
ceaseless attempt to sing. One of the
party, being somewhat Of a musician,
inwardly vowed vengeance, and at last
determined to put his feelings to words.
Supper was in progress as the would
be singer entered. At the end of the
verse he turned to the musician and
said:
The funny thing about me is that
/ can sing with q chew in"
The musician looked at him in a kind
of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. way, and
answered in a long drawl:

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
he diseased portion Of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inlamed condition of the mu-

this tube Is in1amed you have a rumbllng
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t Is
entirely closed, Deafness Is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
ind this tube restored to Its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by Catarrh.

FROM the Lutheran ODSeTVeE.
The vicar was addressing the school
on the subject of truth. He expounded
at some length on the wickedness OF
lying, and before going on to the
merits Of speaking the truth he thought
he would see if the children really un-
derStood him.
Now" said he, car any one tell
me what a lie is?"
Immediately a number OF small hands
shot up. The vicar selected a bright
looking ~yOungster.

new people constantly entering the

pass it by, perhaps there will be others
that will find just the thing they did

St. Paul. Jan. 17.-Governor John \.
ohnso received q letter from James
J.. Hill, in which the nlagnate deals
with the VARIOUS phases OF the rallroad
problem.
The western country has grown so
fast that the railroads have heen UNI
able to keep pace with it. M. Hill says,
and he believes the building of addi-
tional trackage is the best solution OF
the problem.
He says it would require q permanent
Investment of 81. 100, COO, coo a year Tor
five years to provide the railroads OF
the country with means to handle prop
not allowing for future growth. Mr.
Hill also says:
Fifteen Foot Channel.
"a f~fteen-foot canal or channel from
st. Louis TO New Orleans would go
farther to relieve the entire middle
west and southwest than any other
work that could be undertaken. With
such a depth of water a single power
full towboat would carry from thirty 10
forty trainloads.
Equipment is being increased as
rapidly as capital and labor can do it,.
There are and viii be cars enough to
carry the country's traffic il the cars
can be moved. but engines and cars
must have tracks on which they can
run. Inc iliHlt OIL SER ICE 1 u

moving at all times over its system as
many cars as can be run on its tracks

reasonable delay.
Try to Meet Demand.
I'm ~vestigations show that the rail-
roads of the country have been endeav-
oring to meet the growing demand on
them. Not only were there 50 per cent.
more locomotives and 45 per eel more
cars in service in 1906 than in 1895. but
each engine and car did much more
work. Trains run faster. cars are
larger, locomotives are more powerful
and methods of handling the business
have so improved as to increase the
general efficiency"
