A Child Poisoned--Nurse
Charged with the Crime.

Rock Hill Record: The three
year-old child of Mr.. and Mrs.
Webb, of Lando, was poisoned
Monday afternoon by negro
girl who had been nursing the
child. 1t seems thatSMrs. Webb
had gone to a neighbor' shouse aud
left the child in charge of the
girl, and the girl went to the
company store and asked for a
bottle of laudanum. The clerk
who waited on her asked her if
she did not want paregoric,
and she replied no, tina t
Mrs. Webb said she wante d
laudanum; SO, thinking that the
girl must have been sent by Mrs.
Webb, he gave it to her. She
went back to the house and gave
the child about two teaspoonfuls, &,
or at least about shat much was
gone out of the bottle when
found. The child Immediately
showed symptoms of the pois on
ing and some of the other chill
dren went for Mrs. Webb, who
'phoned for DR.. CASTOR, of Edge
moor. and after pun ping the
poison from the child's stomach
and working with it all night, il
was thought Tuesday, when the
reporter was in that place, that
the child would recover.

When News Travelled Slowly,

All of us have heard legends OF the
rapidity with which news travelled be-
fore the era Of telegraphs by means
which have been compared to the ap-
ple thrown from hand to hand. An
event in the Napoleonic epopee clearly
illustrates how far we have progressed
in this respect during the last hundred
wears. On June IA. 1907, the meteoric
emperor defeated the Russians on the
bloody field of FriedlGnd. capturing
166 900 prisoners. Only about mid
night on Saturday. June q, did
courier reach St Cloud to convey the
news to Josephine. whose feminine
mind did not penetrate the iiguratiVe
significance of the 10000 fusils, and
Paris only learned the news on the
afternoon of the 2Sth, when it lost no
time in throwing itself into raptures.
They danced all night through In the
