A UNIQUE Clock.

In the barber shop at the Ten Eyck
Hotel in Albany, said a travelling man
at the Neil House, there is a clock
which causes no end of amusement.
It is so arranged that the hands mark
time and revolve in exactly the oppo-
site direction and manner from nor
NAL clocks. First year legislators
and others new to the place when
they enter the barber shop invariably
stand gaping at it with an air of COM
plete mystification for some little
time. y
Then they turn to some one and
ask some such question as:
''Is that twisted or am I?' The
varying effects on different persons
keeps the BARRIERS in an intermittent
state of laughter and merriment. It
is not until the customer mounts in
to one of the chairs and faces the
mirror wall before him that he usual
" understands the reason for having
the clock built on thesreverse princi-
pie. Columbus Dispatch.

fashionable suburb Of Oakdale be-
cause a negro was made edictorian
of the graduating class of the high

night.
When it was announced by Prof.
johnson of the school several days
ago that Ray Wooten, a negro and
son of the village barber, was the
honor student and would be the class
valedictorian there were many pro
tests.
Prof. johnson paid no heed to the
objections and declared that themem-
bers of the graduating class would at
tend the commenc encement exercises or
no diplomas would be issued to them:

Banking company has moved into the
new building on Main street and now
has one of the most up-to-date bank
ing houses in South Carolina, which
has been pronounced by some to be
without doubt the most completely
finished building below Columbia.
The fixtures are of mahogany with
marble base and the front Of the
building is of pressed brick, there be-
ing two stories. The upper floor is
used for offices and consists of suites.
Bamberg now has two modern
banking houses, the Peoples bank
having been opened last fall in a
handsome building.
Bamberg county now has five banks,
whereas few years ago there was
only one, the Bamberg Banking COM
pany, which was established in 1887.

1xrxY SHOWED HER HORSE EKNsA
awhile that part of the street would
have to be torn up to get the mare out.
A squad from the Society For the Pre-
vention Of Cruelty to Animals was
summoned, and a derrick made espe-
eial to lift horses was put into play.
It was ticklish work for the men who
had to 20 down into the excavation to
put the belt around Betty, for the mare
did not take kindly to her pred1ca-
ment. She kicked and bit, stubbornly
resisting their every effort to make her
a temporary prisoner.
At the end of an hour she was safely
put in a series of belts, and the derrick
began to hoist her into the air. Here
Betty displayed her horse sense by
keeping perfectly still until she was
squeezed through the narrow opening.
Betty kicked and snorted as soon as
she felt her hoofs on solid ground. She
broke away from the workmen and
plunged into the crowd. Several per-
sons were knocked down. Five men
captured Betty, and she was thrown to
the ground. Then the men sat on her
until she became quiet The mare was
taken to the Office of DR.. Johnson, a
veterinary, of 1T West Twenty-ffth
street and found to be unintured.

Queer Adventure Of Chief Commits
sioner Of Coors.

sioner Of Coors.
S. NJ. Fraser. chief commissioner Of
Coorg, India, and resident in Mysore,
met with an adventure in Coorg near
the Canara border during recent
tour of his district. Mr.. Fraser, ac-
companied by Mr.. Harris, assistant
commissioner; Mr.. Mccarthy, forest Of
flcer, and Mr.. Haller, assistant director
of agriculture, was riding along mar
row zigzag path through an almost
impenetrable jungle when he heard an
elephant moving parallel with them.
Mccarthy rode to the next bend to
see if the coast was clear. At the mo-
ment Mccarthy turned the bend a
tusker came out on the path above
him and without moments hesitation
gave the usual squeal and charged
down the path.
Shouting Rider Mccarthy galloped
back and, with this flying start, pass
ed Fraser, who had not fully realized
the danger. The rest Of the party dis
appeared around the next bend. Fra
ser turned into an opening in the jun
gle, only to find it a regular trap Of i'm
penetrable growth on all sides. The
elephant was within few yards Of the
horses tail.
Without an instants hesitation,
throwing an arm around tree while
passing, he let the horse gallop from
under him, fell to the ground on all
fours, flung himself to one side clear
Of the charging elephants path and,
springing to his feet, took refuge be-
hind a larger tree some PAGES away.
No sooner did the elephant miss his
man than it pulled up, turned around
and proceeded slowly to hunt for him.
Fraser in the meantime moved silently
around the tree, keeping it between
himself and the elephant. Fortunately
after some minutes the tusker dis
appeared. Fraser emerged from his
place of concealment, not damaged IN
any way and as cool as though such
hairbreadth escapes were a matter OF
everyday occurrence.
