HAIL Taken from Boys Lungs.

Columbia, May BY using the
X-ray apparatus DIR. LeGrand Guerry
has located and removed a five-penny
nail, little rusty, swallowed by lit
tie Arthur Boyer, eighteen months
old, which had found Its way into the
child's lungs. When the little fell
low, who lives in Lexington county,
not far from the town of Lexington,
was brought to the Columbia Hospi-
tai he was suffering the most intense
agony, but it seemed almost impos-
sible to determine the cause of his
strange illness. Only the Roentgen
apparatus could show the location of
the unusual foreign substance.
The child was brought to the Hos.
pital and the X-ray brought into use.
1t was seen Immediately that an
operation would have to be perform
ed and the little patient was pre-.
pared for the operating room. DIR.
Query performed the operation
beautifully and in very short while.
So perfect has been the child's re-
covery that to-day he is playing
about the hospital grounds and will
be entirely released from treatment
in few days.

Capt. r. o. Tribble died at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. J. B.
Babb, at Townville, at 10 O'Clock last
night, after an illness of about three
weeks.
Captain Tribble was 81 years of
age. He was native of Abbeville
county, but moved to Townville fifty
years ago and bought large farm,
to which he attended until few
years ago. His advanced age neces-
stated his giving up the work.
When quite young man he mar
ried Miss Margaret Webster, of
Abbeville county, She died about
one year ago. He is survived by
five sons and four daughters. They
are: j. R. Tribble, of Walhalla {;

Texas; r. M. Tribble, of Seneca {;
II. j. Tribble, of Elberton, Ca. Mrs.
Walker, of Abbeville; Mrs. J. B.
Babb, of Townville; Mrs. Gaines, of
Honea Path, and Mrs. G. N. @. Bole-
man, of Anderson.
When the war between the States
commenced, Capt. Tribble joined the
Confederate army. He was made oap-
tain of Company E, First South Caro-
lima regiment. During the first part
of the war his company did service
on the coast, but later went to Vir-
ginia and he was in that State when
Gen. Lee surrendered.
For a number of years Capt. Trib.
BILE was magistrate of Anderson
county and he has borne the name
of Squire Tribble for great many
years. With the exception of being
a magistrate, Capt. Tribble never
was in politics, although he was ap-
preached on several occasions to
offer himself as candidate for the
General Assembly.
Capt. Tribble had a great many
relatives in Abbeville and Anderson
counties. He was member of the
Townville Baptist church and the
funeral service will be held in that
church. The exact hour of the fune-
raj could not be learned here to-day.

how much money he carried this
morning, but only sixty cents was

LAT|MER HAS BEEN TO NEVADA.
TELLS A WASHINGTON REPORTER OF
SOME OF THE GOLD MINES he SAW.
Washington Herald.1

The Hon. A. q. Latimer, undem-
onstrative but useful junior Senator
from South Carolina, told a Herald
reporter at the New Willard last
evening some interesting things
about trip to the Nevada mining
camps, from which he had just re-
turned. His western tour also in
cluded Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco.
"The great wealth of the mines in
the Goldfeld and Tonopah Districts" !"
said Senator Latimer, "has not been
the subject of exaggerated reports.
All saw out there produced in my
mind the impression that the half
has not been told concerning the
riches of that remarkable region.
Men talk as coolly out there of mil.
lions as we do of thousands here,
and it ia not idle conversation or
braggadocio. Too many of them
have made good in the accumulation
of fortunes for the talk to be classed
as pipe Dreams A year ago Sena-
tor Nixon and his partner, Mr..
Wingfield, Joined a third man who
had started bank on $4,000

deposits aggregating $7,600,000 and
it's stock has value of ten to one.
OF course Senator Nixon and Wing.
field are the men we hear most of,
but there are others who have made
large fortunes since the camps first
got the attention of the outside
world. If I were out of public
Office and wanted to make big money
fast l would not hesitate to try my
luck in these Nevada camps, for
they present the greatest opportu-
mites, in my judgment, that are to
be found anywhere.
"Despite the fact that big strike
was on during my stay in Goldfield,
the town was as lively and full of
business activity as though there was
no disturbance of conditions. Every.
body out there seems we'll supplied
with money and everybody is max.
ing money. The landlady of the
best hotel in town, a wooden struc-
ture of forty rooms, told me that
she paid $500 a month rent and
wondered why it was not $1,000.
The rooms were very small--not
much over 8 10, but they were in
demand at $3.50 to 50 per night,
and you had to wire ahead to get
quarters. Every other house in the
place seemed saloon and gambling
was in full blast, the rattle of the
chips being audible from the street,
there being no pretence of conceal.
.ment.
"But though wide open town,
Goldfield is by no means given over
to toughs or sports. l met scores of
well-dressed, ell-educated, respecta.
BILE men, who are out there to make
money-not to dissipate. The popu-
lation, Notwithstanding the large
sporting contingent, is law-abiding
and decorus in its observation of the
decencies of civilization. At a club
to which was invited large num-
ber of men were in evening dress,
and they showed in every way to be
citizens of solid worth and high busi-
ness integrity"
