orioin of scotIand,s Motto.

1t was thought by the Danes to be
cowardly to attack an enemy after
nightfall, but on one occasion when
they were waging war in Scotland,
hey deviated from their usual rule.
On they crept, noiselessly and unob-
served, in their bare feet, upon the
unsuspecting Scotchman. When near
the camp one of the Danes trod upon
a thistle and in his pain cried out.
This aroused the sleeping Scotchmen,
and they gave the alarm. The Danes
were defeated with terrible loss of
life, and ever since that time the
thistle has been the insignia of Scot
land, with the motto: Memo me i'm
pune lacessit. NO one provokes me
with impunity"

Absurdity. He Says Railroads -.

! NEW YORK. June 24.-Tba ra,.
of secret meeting Of high rail,..,
officials in Chicago, in which !, -
decided to reduce all passenger -
throughout the United States "a -
cents, induced Charles F. DAILY l..
president of the fourteen lines n, =.
New York Central system. to give a.
Hearst news service a detailed stat.
ment of the railroads position ar IN.
present time in regard to the txo
cent fare agitation.
Mr.. DAILY is in charge OF all the no,
senger business handled by the Va,
derbilt roads. He said the railroad,
throughout the country were opposed
unalterably to two-cent fare. Thew
were fighting all legislation which had
such a traffic regulation in view and
would continue the fight to the high.
est court.
THE adoption of a two-cent fare by
the railroads, as stated In the Chicago
dispatch" said Mr.. DAILY, lis an alb.
surdity. The railroads could not do
1t and continue to do business.
"Two-cent fare laws have been
passed in six states, which to the bes.
of my knowledge are Ohio, Indiana
Pennsylvania, Missouri and
Nebraska. In all these states the rail.
roads are fighting these statutes on
the ground that they are unconstitu.
.ional, The fight has been carried in.
o the federal courts, and the railroads
intend to keep up the fight till the
highest tribunal is reached.
A fat two-cent rate for a state like
Iew York is unfair, for the reason
hat some parts are far more densely
ettled than others. Contrasts, for ex
mple, the Adirondack region with
he densely populated belt along the
,rie canal. For some branch lines in
be thickfy populated region such as
he former, a three-cent fare does not
en- permit OF a profit, whereas in the
liter a two-cent fare is remunera-
ve."

LIGHTNING.
W. 3. Greenlaw And S. S. clawson
Also shocked.

/ While sitting in Kinks store on Cath
ey's Greek Tuesday afternoon, calmly
reading his newspaper. Mr. G. r.
! whiteside. prominent and well
thought of citizen of the Cathey's
Greek neighborhood, was struck and
instantly killed by bolt of lightning,
which entered through the window.
Mr. Whiteside, in addition to quite a
number of other gentlemen, had come
in the store to get out OF the rain, and
had seated himself by the window.
where the light is suitable to reading.
Through this window the telephone
wire is run into the store, and passed
just above Mr.. Whitesid's head. The
bolt of lightning followed the wire
through the window, struck Mr.. White
side and he died instantly. At first
NO mark could be found on the body,
to indicate where he had been struck,
but in few minutes black spots were
noticed just above and below the right
eye, and this morning the entire right
side has turned black. From this 1t
is judged that the bolt struck Mr.,
on the right side of his
head, about the temple, and passed
down the right side of his body.
The interment will take place today
at Cathey's graveyard at 300 p. m.
Mr.. Whiteside was sixty-eight years
Of age, an ex-confederate soldier, and
highly respected in the neighborhood
in which he made his home, and his
sudden death is. very much deplored.
In the store with Mr.. Whiteside
when the bolt entered, were number
" other people who had, as before
stated, come in out of the rain.
among the number were Mr. T. o.
Kirk, citizen Of that neighborhood,
dr. w. B. Greenlaw, of Columbia and
Ir. Sam Clawson, of Ashwood Mr..
Kirk sustained severe shock, but was
lot seriously hurt, and Mr.. Greenlaw
