Beer Dispenser is Removed.

COLUMBIA, June 28.-Former Chief
Constable A. S. Osborne, connected
with the constabulary for many years
and who has pursued the dispensary
law breakers in almost every county
in the state, has been removed as
beer dispenser by the Richland coun-
ty board for selling empty barrels
and bottles and arranging for a drink
ing place back of his dispensary.
Mr.. Osborne pleaded for leniency,
admittingh he had sold the barrels and
bottles, but protesting that he did
not intend to appropriate the money.
Pharmacist Warn, whose place ad-
joins Osborne's, testified that Os-
borne offered to divide the profits
from the sale of bottles with Warn if
he would allow customers to drink
in rear of the drug store.
The board after full hearing
adopted this resolution. which was
sent to Mr.. Osborne, along with a
letter notifying him he had been dis
missed: THAT Mr.. A. S. Osborne be
dismissed from the position of beer
dispenser, to take effect at once. "
Mr.. Osborne's clerk was Jackson
Cartledge, against whom Chief Con-
stable Hammett preferred charges
under the old regime.

Death of Mrs. Geo. II. Smoak.

Mrs Mamie Smoak, wife of Mr..
Geo. H. Smoak, died at their home
about two miles from this city last
Friday morning about ten o'clock.
Mrs. Smoak had been in bad health
for a long time, and her death did not
come as a surprise. She had been
confined to her bed for about eight
months, and during this long time
she suffered a great deal, yet she bore
it all with Christian fortitude and did
not murmur or complain.
At her request she was buried at
Ebenezer Baptist church near Cor
dova, in Orangeburg county, Satur-
day morning about midday. Rev. A.
J. Foster, her pastor, conducted the
funeral services.
Mrs. Smoak was about forty years
old. Her maiden name was Tucker,
and she was born in Kentucky, but
her parents moved to Florida, and it
was there that she was married to
Mr.. Smoak. She is survived by her
husband and six children, two boys
and four girls. She had been a faith
full and consistent member of the
Baptist church for number of years.
Mrs Smoak was an earnest Chris
tian woman. She loved her home and
church, and she was always ready to
labor for the cause of the Master un-
til her health gave way. She will be
sadly missed, not only by her immedi-
ate family circle, but by the large
number of friends who knew and
loved her. But life of suffering has
given way to eternal peace and rest.

BOAR WHIPS BEAR,
Desperate Battle Took Place and Brliin
Was Put to Flight.

ALTOONA, Pa, June 28-A desper-
ate battle between hungry bear on
one side and sow and boar on the
other took place at the farm of josiah
Henchey, some three miles north of
here, at the foot of Wonsononock
Mountain.
With litter Of pigs the old SOW
was roofing in a field, when Bruin
ambled down the mountain side and
calmly seized, killed and proceeded to
dine on one of the pigs. The little
fellows squeals alarmed the mother
and she rushed to the protection Of
her family.
Before she reached the bear the
latter had slain the second pig with a
blow of it's paw.
Bruin and the SOW closed in, with
much squealing, snarling and grunt-
ing. The SOW was the aggressor, and
bit out fnouthfuls of fur, but failed
to reach a vulnerable point. The bear
retaliated lacerating the SOW with his
claws and nipping off one of her
ears.
Wallowing in a nearby mud-pul-
die was a boar, rousing himself when
he heard his mates squeals for assis-
tance, he went after the bear most
viciously, gouging out pieces of fur
and skin, and ripping his side open
with tusk. The bear fought back fero-
ciously, all the savagery being arous-
ed at the dual attack. It was a
bloody, terrifying conflict.
Attracted by the unusual noises,
Farmer Henchey snatched up his gun,
and went to investigate, and at the
first opportunity let go both barrels,
the bear received the charge in the
breast, but kept on fighting. Return
ing to the house he reloaded the gun,
then came back to find the boar the
victor, for the bear, wounded and
still hungry, had made tracks back to
the mountains. Philadelphia Record

ARRAY In Edgefield.

EDGEFIELD, July 1.-Sheriff Outz
of Edgefeld this afternoon returned
from Modoc, on the Charleston &
Western Carolina railroad in Edge
field county, whittier he hurried on
Sunday to look into most unfortu-
nate and bloody affray.
Mr.. Winchester Mcdaniel, a man
of means and high character, is the
leading merchant of Modoc. Mr..
Tom Glanton, also of Modoc, entered
McDaniel's store under the influence
of whiskey, it is said, late on Satur-
day afternoon and became engaged
in dispute with Mcdaniel and his
two sons, who were in the store,
about some little bill or account. He
was ordered or pushed out of the
store, but returned, his return CIV
ing rise to a bloody affray. the par
ticulars of which are not yet clear.
In this affray Warren Mcdaniel,
one of the sons of Winchester Nc
Daniel, shot Tom Glanton in the
stomach twice and in all probability
the wound will prove fatal. Glanton
emptied his pistol without effect.
Which man began the shooting does
not seem to be clear yet.
; Freeman Glanton, q, son of Tom
Glanton, was also stabbed and but
for timely medical aid might have
bled to death.
Tom Glanton was taken to the hos
pital in Augusta, where at this mo-
ment he lies in extremis, if not dead.
Just before Sheriff Outz left Modoc
a local physician returned from the
hospital in Augusta and reports that
there was no earthly hope of Clan
toms life.
Should Glanton die Warren Nc
Daniel will come Immediately to
Edgefeld andsurrender to the sheriff.

Thought Brought Tears.

A Spartanburg lady who has re-
Gently returned from the jamestown
exposition, where she visited among
the first places the South Carolina
exhibit, tells an incident which GER
tainly indicates that the South Caro-
lima commission has done it's work
we'll in presenting the advantages
and resources of their state. AS she
stood viewing the exhibit, which she
says is indeed the best in the entire
building, an aged man approached
and stopped to look upon South
Cardinals contribution to the great
display which surrounded him.
'And this is South Cardinals ex-
hibit," he was heard to say. At
tracted by the peculiar uncertain note
in his voice, the lady looked into the
old gentleman's face, to behold tears
in his eyes and. every evidence that
he had been deeply touched by some
thing he had seen or something he
had thought.
1T is wonderful" he continued,
speaking to a friend, land think
what that State and those proud peo-
ple-God bless them-have been
through"
The lady learned later that the old
gentleman was not aSouth Carolinian
neither a Southerner but a native and
resident of Massachusetts, and a SOL
dier in the Union army. Spartan

EHRHARDT, July 1.-Messrs. G. B.
Clayton, H. B. Brown, M. H., D. M,
and D. P. Smith have fine cotton. All
these men can talk about cotton
blooms. Mr.. W. K. Best, of the Three
Mile Creek section, says that he has
five acres of cotton that has small
bolls in it and that it is waist high.
There are other crops in this and
that section that will hardly make a
blossom to the acre, unless there is
considerable improvement in itshort-
ly.
Mr.. W. A. Kinard exhibited a
squash. Says that he did not know
the name of same, but from the des-
cription of it's habits and growth
could name it appropriately s'hard
times squash" The squash he show
ed me was 80 inches long and showed
that it had not been broken off and
stem was three inches in diameter at
largest place. Mr.. Kinard says that
this species of squash grows very rap
idly. Once you get them started to
bearing you don't pluck the squash
from the stem but measure the amt.
of squash you want to satisfy your
appetite, then you cut it off with a
knife. In a few days you can 60 back
to the vine and you will find that the
squash has grown fully as long as it
was before cutting it. Mr. Kinard
says one squash is all that his family
can use through season. Says it is
good to fry, bake, stew, and to eat.
